If you are asked to prevent the villain from destroying the world, what kind of love are you talking

Before Song Chuyi could figure it out, the chef had already brought up the delicious meal.

Song Chuyi was really hungry, so he stopped talking to Gu Yongnian and concentrated on eating.

After dinner, Gu Yongnian took the initiative to invite: "Would you like to take a walk together? It helps digestion."

Song Chuyi responded with a smile: "Okay."

The two walked around the bottom of the mountain, and time quietly came to ten o'clock in the evening.

It is unknown when the two of them walked to the bottom of the Thousand-Layer Stairs. Song Chuyi looked up at the Thousand-Layer Stairs that were towering into the clouds, as if thinking about something.

Gu Yongnian next to him asked, "Do you want to climb the Thousand-Layer Stairs again?"

"Okay." Song Chuyi agreed without hesitation. He couldn't sleep at home anyway, so climbing the thousand-story stairs was not bad.

but……

He turned sideways and looked at Gu Yongnian, "Want to compete?"

He raised his head slightly, with a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows.

"The kind of competition where the loser is punished."

Gu Yongnian responded with a low smile.

When Song Chu saw that he agreed, he stepped onto the stairs first.

"Then I'll take the first step."

With just a few leaps he had climbed five steps.

Gu Yongnian stood at the bottom, looking at the young man walking quickly up, a doting smile flashed across his eyes.

He lifted his foot and stepped onto the stairs. His speed was not fast, but each step was steady.

At midnight, Song Chuyi stood on the 500th step, looked at Gu Yongnian, who had five steps less than him, and snorted.

"You deliberately?"

Gu Yongnian looked up at him.

This natural difference in terrain made him seem to be at a disadvantage.

But he still had a strong aura and didn't appear to be in a weak position.

"No." He explained with a smile, "There are still 499 stairs. I'm just conserving my energy."

Song Chuyi raised his eyebrows, "Do you know that this thousand-layer ladder actually has only 999 layers?"

"Yeah." Gu Yongnian responded and took a step up, "I counted."

Song Chuyi laughed out loud.

"So you're so boring too."

Gu Yongnian shook his head and took another step forward.

“I’m not bored, I just come here to walk around when I’m stressed.”

When Song Chu saw that he was about to catch up with him, he stopped talking, turned around and started to climb again.

Gu Yongnian looked at his back and continued to follow him.

At two o'clock in the morning, there were still 99 steps to the summit.

Song Chuyi's breath became a little more disordered, and he looked at Gu Yongnian, who was only two steps behind him.

"You have good stamina. You don't seem tired even after climbing for so long."

Gu Yongnian's eyes were still full of smiles.

"got used to."

Song Chuyi: "You climb often? Then you are under a lot of pressure."

"I thought someone like you wouldn't have a lot of pressure."

Gu Yongnian didn't explain, he just took a step forward.

Song Chuyi:...

He can't lose!

He turned around again and continued to climb up.

An hour later, Song Chuyi's right leg was on the last step, but his left foot was still on the second to last step.

Gu Yongnian was standing on the third-to-last step. If he took two quick steps, he would be able to surpass Song Chuyi.

But he didn't, he just stood there and looked at him.

"How does it feel?" he asked.

The wind on the top of the mountain was a little cool at night, blowing up the hems of their clothes.

Song Chuyi felt the misty wind blowing on his face, cool and a little comfortable.

"very nice."

He was in a good mood and the smile on his face was obvious.

"It's already three o'clock in the morning. We can see the sunrise in two hours."

Gu Yongnian agreed, "Well, we can watch the sunrise at five o'clock."

While he was speaking, Song Chuyi retracted his left foot, stepped on the last step, and looked down at him.

"I won."

Gu Yongnian still stood there.

"you win."

"What punishment do you want me to give you?"

This really confused Song Chuyi.

He stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "I haven't thought of it yet, so I'll just owe it to you for now."

Gu Yongnian had no objection and agreed.

He lifted his leg, stepped onto the stairs, and in two steps he was next to Song Chuyi.

"Want to go to the Kongling Temple?"

Song Chuyi looked at him in surprise, "Can I come in now?"

"Yeah." Gu Yongnian's voice was rarely more cunning, "I'm the next host, I have special privileges."

Song Chuyi:...

The two successfully entered the Kongling Temple. The temple was so quiet that even the wind seemed to have fallen asleep.

They didn't know when the two of them arrived at the yard of the sacred tree.

The rich woody scent permeates the yard, making you feel full of energy as soon as you step in.

The sacred tree standing in the center was still as strong as iron, not shaking at all.

Song Chuyi walked closer and raised his hand to touch the trunk of the sacred tree.

The rough tree trunk rubbed his palms a little painfully.

Gu Yongnian stood beside him and explained, "I heard that the flowers he used to bloom were very beautiful."

“The fruit is beautiful, too.”

Song Chuyi tilted his head and pursed his lips.

Gu Yongnian followed his example and touched the trunk of the sacred tree.

"Maybe he's unhappy, and one day he won't bear fruit."

He looked at Song Chuyi and asked in a serious and joking manner: "How can I make him happy?"

Song Chu kept looking into his eyes.

The color of Gu Yongnian's pupils was an extremely pure black. When the moonlight shone into his eyes, they made his eyes look as bright as obsidian.

At this moment, his figure was reflected in those pupils.

Song Chuyi's long eyelashes trembled slightly and he withdrew his hand.

"Maybe if I just water and fertilize it, it will be happy."

"I've tried." Gu Yongnian also withdrew his hand, and the fingertips hanging on one side trembled slightly. "I've tried many ways, but he's not very happy."

Song Chuyi shrugged, "It's just a coffee tree, why bother about whether it's happy or not?"

“If it doesn’t bloom or bear fruit, it will become a sacred tree. If it blooms and bears fruit, it will be no different from an ordinary coffee tree.”

“Besides, it’s just a coffee tree. No one will care.”

Gu Yongnian frowned.

“He would care.”

"He would care."

Song Chuyi laughed out loud, "Maybe he doesn't care either?"

He patted Gu Yongnian on the shoulder and changed the subject.

“Do you know where is the best place to watch the sunrise?”

"take me?"

A smile appeared on Gu Yongnian's face again.

"This is it."

He tilted his head to look at the sacred tree, as if he was telling Song Chuyi, or as if he was telling the sacred tree.

"He deserves the best."

As they were talking, the sun rose, and warm golden light sprinkled on the sacred tree.

It also fell on Song Chuyi.

He folded his arms across his chest, looking at his body being bathed in the sunlight, the leaves glowing with a faint golden light, and he sighed softly.

"Knew it."

He was back to square one.

He looked at Gu Yongnian with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

“I know how to make it blossom.”

"but……"

Gu Yongnian didn't hesitate at all.

“Any conditions are fine.”

Song Chuyi:...

Although he knew that Gu Yongnian knew that the sacred tree was his true body, he was not like this before.

Could it be that Gu Yongnian has become love-sick?
