Capítulo 84

Moreover, Gu He only maintains this demeanor in front of others. In front of Ji Zhaoming, he is as quiet as a well-behaved rabbit that can be petted at any time, even his fur is soft.

They gave off two different vibes, but when Ji Zhaoming stared intently at Gu He, he found another sense of familiarity in that familiar face.

Ji Zhaoming wondered to himself: Could these two people be related by blood?

That's not right either. If they were really related by blood, how could they possibly have the same name?

This truly baffled Ji Zhaoming.

Ji Zhaoming stared at him for too long, and Gu He's cheeks flushed slightly. He took a step back and almost tripped over a tree branch. "What is Your Majesty looking at?"

Ji Zhaoming smiled and asked in return, "Is that not allowed?"

"Of course!" Even though his face was already burning red, Gu He still suppressed his embarrassment and said, "You can look at me for a lifetime, I'm fine with that."

Ji Zhaoming suspected that Gu He and Gu Yunzhou must have some kind of connection.

But he won't flirt with people randomly without solid evidence, because it would be embarrassing if he flirted with the wrong person.

Ji Zhaoming smiled and shook his head, refusing: "No need, I was just a little curious. Why did you change your name back then?"

It's all because of Gu Yunzhou!

With such a famous figure, whenever others know Gu He's name, they always make a joke, saying that he shares the same name as Gu Yunzhou of Dixing.

He's from a trash planet, yet he shares the same name as Gu Yunzhou from the imperial planet—isn't that a blatant mockery?

He has the name Gu Yunzhou, but not the life of Gu Yunzhou.

Unfortunately, Gu He didn't believe in fate.

He resolutely changed his name and registered a bounty hunter ID.

It's important to know that bounty hunters aren't just from the garbage planet; many aristocratic families register as bounty hunters to hone their skills. Gu He, a teenager who hadn't even differentiated yet, gritted his teeth and eventually became a famous figure among bounty hunters.

But none of this could be told to Ji Zhaoming.

Otherwise, it would leave Wang with the impression of jealousy.

Gu He pouted and said, "Because it doesn't sound good. The name Gu He sounds better."

Wouldn't cranes, which can move freely between the sky and the ground, be better than clouds that can only float in the sky?

Gu He wanted to be a crane so that he could find his king.

That's not entirely untrue.

Ji Zhaoming didn't delve into the matter further, but instead asked, "Do you want to go back?"

He extended his hand and said with a smile, "Gu He."

Gu He nodded and whispered, "But Your Majesty, please don't tell Gu Yunzhou."

Ji Zhaoming put his hand to his mouth and shushed him: "Okay, this is our secret."

After paying respects at the grave, Gu Yunzhou led Ji Zhaoming and Gu He down a different path.

After walking about a hundred meters, Ji Zhaoming saw a beam of light in the same spot. It was faint, but it was particularly noticeable in the dense forest. No matter where Ji Zhaoming stood, he could always see that beam of light.

In the vast expanse of white snow, the light seemed even warmer.

Ji Zhaoming tugged at Gu Yunzhou's clothes with some confusion and asked, "What's that?"

Gu Yunzhou smiled and said, "You'll know once you go and take a look."

After walking another hundred meters or so, they finally saw a small house. The house was built of wood and a lamp was lit inside. The beam of light that Ji Zhaoming saw came from the roof of this wooden house.

A lantern hangs high above the roof.

Gu Yunzhou explained, "These are road signs."

Ji Zhaoming asked in surprise, "Road sign?"

He thought a road sign was just a sign indicating where you were going and how far away it was. How could he use a house as a road sign?

“Yes,” Gu Yunzhou said. “The lantern contains a night lamp developed by the Imperial Star. The intensity of the lamp changes according to the surrounding environment to ensure that passersby can see it at a glance, no matter where they are. That’s why it’s called a road sign.”

Especially since the atmosphere in such places is inherently somber, seeing a lamp lit inside offers some solace to everyone who comes here.

Ji Zhaoming suddenly realized.

Gu Yunzhou: "But that's not all."

He knocked on the door.

The door creaked open, and an old man stepped out, adjusting his glasses as he asked, "Buying tickets?"

Gu Yunzhou gave him a sum of money.

The old man stepped aside, revealing the back of the house.

There's a cable car there.

Gu Yunzhou said, "I promised to show my master the moonlight."

The address was a bit strange. The old man glanced at Ji Zhaoming again, making Ji Zhaoming flustered and blush.

The old man took the money and said, "This is the last batch. You've come at the perfect time."

He opened the cable car door. "Hurry up and get on."

Gu He went up first, followed by Ji Zhaoming. Gu Yunzhou folded his umbrella and went up last, sitting steadily next to Ji Zhaoming.

The cable car was shut down, and we slowly left the building along the cable car line.

It was still snowing outside.

Snowflakes drifted down from beside me.

The cable car's glass is so thin and transparent that it looks as if it's landing right next to you.

The narrow cable car tightly huddled the three of them together. Ji Zhaoming's shoulder was almost touching Gu Yunzhou's shoulder, and even if his legs didn't move, they would still touch Gu He's legs.

The moonlight is like a bowl of water, held in the sky, and the spilled moonlight turns into snow, drifting down to earth.

Ji Zhaoming had seen snow on starships before.

But the speed of a starship is completely different from that of a cable car, and the experience is completely different as well.

The cable car slowly descended the mountain, making time seem to slow down considerably.

He looked up and saw the bright, round moon hanging against the azure backdrop.

He suddenly realized something: not only was the lantern on the roof a road sign, but the moon was also a road sign.

It is the most unique road sign in the mountains.

Ji Zhaoming used his personal computer to capture this scene and sent it to his deputy.

Due to strong demands from the residents of the garbage planet, the deputy published a special daily magazine on the garbage planet to report on Ji Zhaoming's formation.

Ji Zhaoming wanted to share this beautiful scenery with everyone on the garbage planet.

However, simply sharing it with them is not enough.

When Ji Zhaoming was on the garbage planet, he also saw the moon there. Because it was unpolluted, it was even brighter than the one here.

Ji Zhaoming said, "When we get back, could we install a cable car too?"

The terrain on the garbage planet is poor, with rolling hills and limited manpower. The current focus should not be on building cable cars.

However, these ideas only flashed through Gu Yunzhou's mind.

Gu Yunzhou replied calmly, "Okay."

What Gu Yunzhou could think of, Gu He, who had lived on the garbage planet for nearly twenty years, could certainly think of as well.

He raised his hand and volunteered, saying, "Your Majesty, I can help. I know more about the situation on Garbage Planet than Gu Yunzhou does, to say the least."

He subtly stepped on Gu Yunzhou's shoulder: "After all, the former city lord didn't get involved in anything, right?"

Gu Yunzhou said, "It's alright."

He paused for a moment, then rattled off a long list of the garbage planet's population, terrain, and financial situation.

Gu He, of course, didn't believe it. He secretly took out his personal computer and connected to the garbage planet's backend management system to search for it.

After returning from the search, Gu He remained silent.

It really is the same.

Gu He, unconvinced, asked, "When did you secretly investigate?"

"Isn't this something that can be easily memorized?" Gu Yunzhou asked in return.

Gu Yunzhou pretended to have just remembered something and chuckled, "You don't still not remember even now, do you?"

Gu Yunzhou had a good memory; after handing over the position of city lord to Ji Zhaoming, he went through all the information about the garbage planet.

Gu He hated memorizing these things. In his opinion, it was better to do more tasks than to memorize them in the house. Although he couldn't give an exact number, he could guess the situation of the garbage planet pretty accurately.

However, in this war without gunfire, Gu He still fell into despair.

Gu He, of course, refused to admit defeat and gritted his teeth, saying, "I remember, it is indeed very simple."

The cable car quickly reached the bottom, and Gu Yunzhou, who was sitting near the door, naturally got off first.

Ji Zhaoming followed behind him, his hands gripping the door frame.

When you get on the cable car, there are steps to make it easier to go up, but there are no steps when you go down, and the distance from the ground is a bit high.

Just as Ji Zhaoming was about to jump, he was caught in mid-air.

Gu Yunzhou wrapped his arms around Ji Zhaoming's waist, and with a forceful pull, brought him down to the ground with a light touch.

Gu He followed behind, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Thank you," Ji Zhaoming said gratefully.

She wanted to move forward, but her waist was still firmly held in place by two hands.

Gu Yunzhou said, "Very meticulous."

He pinched the soft flesh on Ji Zhaoming's waist.

Despite having been raised for so long, Ji Zhaoming still looked very thin. Fortunately, the parts that should have some flesh had grown out. Gu Yunzhou's gaze moved downwards, but he quickly looked away again.

But this is still far from meeting Gu Yunzhou's standards.
