With her lips upturned and her eyes clear and bright, Qin Junche's heart skipped a beat.
Qin Junche leaned in and quickly planted a kiss on the corner of Gu Tang's lips.
He likes Gu Tang!
This was something that was already quite clear when the two of them stormed into the space pirates' lair together.
Otherwise, Qin Junche wouldn't have followed Gu Tang back to the capital planet of the Galactic Empire.
They certainly wouldn't linger and be reluctant to leave, knowing they might just be a substitute.
But Qin Junche never knew that looking at Gu Tang, who was so radiant and seemed to be glowing, was a different story.
His heart is beating so fast.
It almost jumped out of my throat.
He felt he was probably really doomed!
He fell for the handsome and dashing Emperor of the Galactic Empire, whose actions were often unpredictable.
Oh no!
Qin Junche thought it must be under the battle robe.
Gu Tang really doesn't like wearing suits or formal wear.
Even in the palace, he was mostly dressed casually. He even wore his combat uniform quite often.
Qin Junche's sudden kiss was nothing more than a gentle breeze on an autumn afternoon in the Galactic Empire's palace.
It didn't cause the slightest ripple.
Gu Tang didn't even blush; he just gave him a half-smile.
"Are you coming with me?" he asked again.
“Go!” Qin Junche nodded.
He braved mountains of knives and seas of fire, even knowing that hell lay ahead, without hesitation!
"Then pack your things, we'll leave the day after tomorrow." Gu Tang stood up and reached out to pull Qin Junche up.
He stretched and looked up at the clear blue sky: "I can rest tomorrow. Qin Junche."
As Gu Tang spoke, she turned to look at him and said, "Is there anything you want to do, or anywhere you want to go? I can go with you tomorrow."
Qin Junche was about to shake his head when another thought struck him.
"We..." He could hear his own voice becoming slightly hoarse, suppressing an indescribable excitement, "How about we go on a date?"
He had been in the capital city for several months, and although he could see Gu Tang from time to time afterward.
The two ate and slept almost the same, inseparable.
However, he spends most of his time in the palace, with Gu Yan by his side.
I've never been on a date.
Gu Tang smiled and glanced at him, then nodded: "Okay."
He said.
Qin Junche stood up: "Then I'll go home and pack my things. See you tomorrow."
He hurriedly left the palace and returned to his own house, which he hadn't set foot in for two months.
The traces left by the assassins had long been cleaned up, and even the flowers, plants and trees that were damaged in that battle had recovered and looked prosperous.
Qin Junche returned to his bedroom and opened his wardrobe.
He doesn't have many clothes; he only wears a few sets.
Combat uniform, military uniform, military dress uniform, and then two very simple casual outfits.
He took out one of his casual outfits, which was simple yet understated, perfect for appearing on the main street of the capital city with Gu Tang.
They have a whole day tomorrow, how should they spend it?
Having decided on his clothes, Qin Junche began to focus on researching places he could go tomorrow.
The capital planet is very large, with nine major districts spanning the entire planet, each with a bustling central area.
Apart from the central urban area where the royal palace is located, the central bustling areas of the other eight districts are all large shopping malls.
The area around the shopping mall is packed with cinemas, theaters, and all sorts of entertainment centers.
But would Gu Tang like these?
Qin Junche racked his brains trying to think of a solution.
He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know what Gu Tang liked or disliked.
They've been together for months, but haven't gone to the movies together, and have barely mentioned anything about Gu Yan or anything outside of the Galactic Empire.
He really doesn't understand Gu Tang.
Or perhaps Gu Tang never let him know about it?
Qin Junche felt a moment of discomfort.
But he quickly cheered up.
What is this?!
He hurriedly left the palace and returned.
However, this time they didn't go to see Gu Tang, but went to Gu Yan's residence.
"What does Father Emperor like?" Gu Yan put down his pen and looked at his master.
He tilted his little head, blinked his big eyes, and had long, thick, curled eyelashes. The child was really good-looking.
She does indeed resemble Qin Junche.
"Hmm..." Gu Yan thought seriously for a moment, "Master, if I tell you, can you take me with you?"
"No," Qin Junche refused.
This was his first formal date with Gu Tang outside the palace.
He didn't want to bring the child.
No matter how cute, it's not acceptable!
“I don’t know,” Gu Yan said decisively.
He was already quite familiar with Qin Junche, and grinned as he made a face at his master: "I don't know where Father Emperor dislikes going the most, I know nothing!"
Qin Junche: "..."
He gave Gu Yan a deep look, then suddenly said, "Get up."
He turned and walked towards the Crown Prince's palace: "Come with me to the fighting arena."
"Master, you're taking revenge on me!" The little prince of the Galactic Empire followed Qin Junche obediently, bouncing around. "I'll tell on you!"
He was complaining, but he still had a grin on his face.
"Didn't you want to learn my Seven Styles of Flowing Wind?" Qin Junche didn't do what Gu Yan expected, but instead gave him a good beating.
He stood in the center of the fighting arena, turned around, and looked at Gu Yan seriously: "I'll teach you now."
Gu Yan: "..."
======
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Qin Junche appeared at the entrance of Gu Tang's palace.
He was wearing a simple black hoodie and casual trousers.
Aside from his handsome appearance that makes people want to take a second look, and the undeniable, chilling sharpness that comes from the battlefield, he looks no different from any other ordinary young man from the capital city.
He stood quietly by the palace gate, waiting patiently.
Soon, he heard familiar footsteps coming from inside.
"Huh?" Gu Tang's voice rang out behind Qin Junche, "So early?"
His Majesty the Emperor, dressed in a pure white nightgown, looked at him with a lazy smile: "Why didn't you come in when we arrived?"
As the sun rose, the morning sunlight fell on Gu Tang's face.
His long eyelashes trembled slightly, like butterfly wings, brushing against Qin Junche's heart.
His mind flashed back to what Gu Yan had said yesterday: "Well, Father doesn't actually have any particular favorite places. But! Whatever you do, don't go to the First University of the Imperial Capital! Although it's beautiful, and has been voted the most beautiful campus in the Galactic Empire every year, and is a well-known dating spot! But it's also Father's forbidden zone!"
The little boy, despite his small stature, had a serious, even solemn, expression on his face.
Qin Junche couldn't remember what he said at the end, or perhaps he said nothing at all.
He looked at Gu Tang in the morning sun and reached out his hand to him in a daze.
Cool fingertips touched the other person's cool cheek.
"Gu Tang." Qin Junche didn't really like calling him Your Majesty the Emperor.
He looked at Gu Tang and murmured, "I've heard that the scenery at the First University of the Capital Star is beautiful, and it's your alma mater. The cafeterias there are all unique, especially the breakfast, which is very plentiful and delicious. We..."
His Adam's apple bobbed as he asked, "Where shall we go for breakfast, please?"

Gu Tang was only stunned for a moment.
But Qin Junche kept staring at him intently, and even the slightest expression on his face was clearly visible to General Qin, whose eyesight was 2.0.
He saw Gu Tang subconsciously frown, a fleeting look of confusion crossing his face.
Then, very quickly, a smile returned to his face.
"Okay," Gu Tang smiled and agreed.
The morning light is beautiful.
