Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 791: Because You’re Single, You Wouldn’t Understand
"But what is a new life without you in it? What would that new life be?"
"..."
Bai Li gently embraced the red-eyed girl and kissed her forehead.
Actually, Gu Yan could hardly hear Bai Li’s heartbeat, because she always felt he was somewhat ethereal.
But now, nestled in his arms, Gu Yan first heard her own intense heartbeat, and then, his...
The two heartbeats sounded like a symphony.
Pleasant to the ear, melodious.
In the end, Gu Yan was too tired, and she fell asleep in Bai Li’s embrace while he gently kissed her forehead, motionless.
Xiaofu, as the only onlooker—oh, and Little Tail—but Little Tail was a plant and couldn’t talk yet.
Xiaofu was really feeling pent up, so she went to send a message to Vermilion Bird and White Tiger.
Because they were in the Fruit and Vegetable Space, the message couldn’t be sent out for the time being, but it didn’t matter. It didn’t affect her desire to share her feelings with someone!
It was just too touching.
How could there be such simple, pure, yet deeply touching love?
Not knowing how long she had slept, Gu Yan woke up to find Bai Li gazing at the corner of her mouth, to which she exclaimed in surprise, "Am I drooling?"
Bai Li’s lips curved slightly, "No."
"That’s good, that’s good. Oh, right, what time is it now?"
"Five in the morning."
"You have to set out for the battlefield with my brother at eight this morning, right? We should hurry back so you can rest a bit and then eat something."
The Insect God didn’t need to eat or sleep, but since his little girlfriend thought he needed to, then he must need to.
Gu Yan and Bai Li left the Fruit and Vegetable Space, and when they returned to Commander Gu’s residence, they happened to be spotted by Gu Chen, who was jogging in the garden. Gu Chen said to Bai Li with profound meaning, "Care to run a couple of laps with me?"
"Brother, Bai Li didn’t sleep all night and you’re about to leave. Why are you asking him to run laps?"
Gu Chen: "I don’t think Lord Insect God would be so lacking in stamina, right?"
Bai Li knew Gu Chen had something to say to him so he turned to Gu Yan and said, "You didn’t sleep well last night, go back and lie down for a while. I’ll call you before I leave."
"Okay."
Watching his sister walking away and looking back three times, Gu Chen’s mouth twitched, "What love potion have you fed Little Yan? Jiang Huai’s superpower couldn’t fully affect her before, and now she’s been following you around all night long?"
Bai Li now looked at Gu Chen with a sense of superiority, "It’s all because of love. You’re single, so you wouldn’t understand."
Gu Chen scoffed: "I wouldn’t understand? Who was it that understood nothing recently and came to me for advice?"
"Times change."
"Fine, let’s not talk about that. When do you plan to marry Little Yan?"
Bai Li pursed his lips and looked towards the window of Gu Yan’s room upstairs, speaking with a hint of distress, "Your mother said we have to wait until Little Yan graduates before we can get married."
Now, full count, Gu Yan still has more than a year and a half until she graduates.
Gu Chen suddenly felt a hint of schadenfreude, "Well, after all, Xiaoyan is still young. Actually, if it were up to my father, he would probably want her to marry even later. After this war is over, what do you plan to do?"
"I plan to reside permanently on Landis Star."
There was no hesitation in this matter; Bai Li had even seriously considered the matter of marrying into the Gu Family.
Seeing how accommodating he was, and that his parents agreed, Gu Chen, as a brother, had nothing more to say, only reminding him not to bully Xiaoyan.
It was still the same old sentence.
How could Bai Li bear to?
When it came time to depart, because Gu Yan was still sleeping, Bai Li didn’t disturb her. Instead, he boarded the starship with Gu Chen and headed for the battlefield.
The news of Gu Yan’s kidnapping by the Plantman Star reached the Universe Alliance Army, but since Gu Yan was unharmed and, for the time being, the Plantman Star still stood with Landis Star, this conflict did not bring about any change in the situation.
"What a pity," Odlande sighed, "If we had known, we would have sent someone to kill that Gu Yan directly and then blamed it on the Plantman Star."
Ji Rui narrowed his eyes, "Who could have imagined that the Insect God would actually fall in love with that Gu Yan!"
The big-bearded man beside them muttered, "The Plantman Star values Gu Yan highly; it seems that this young lady is truly the bond between three forces. How can this war still be fought?"
The people on the screen looked at each other, no one spoke.
Because they all knew—they were doomed to lose this war!
Three months later, the various planets of the Universe Alliance Army declared their surrender and signed the Century Universe Peace Treaty.
But after the peace treaty was signed, there was an urgent matter at hand: choosing the new supreme leader of the newly formed Federal Empire, a person who, to some extent, would be the overlord of the entire universe!
Some said that it should be Lord Insect God with the highest combat power, as the Insect Clan and most of those who valued martial power agreed, while others believed that Gu Jue, who had the highest prestige in the universe and had been dedicated to maintaining peace for decades, should be chosen.
Be it in the old era or the new, there was no doubt that Gu Jue had contributed the most to peace.
Some recommended the young and promising Landis Star Emperor Gu Chen; he was younger, with both literary talent and martial prowess, an all-capable leader!
Of course, there were feeble calls to choose Jiang Shang.
But Jiang Shang himself repeatedly waved his hands; he had neither the qualifications nor the ability to be the head of the Federation, and not only could he not take on the role, but he also had to take Jiang Huai to Landis Star to apologize to the Gu Family and to Gu Yan.
In this period, Jiang Huai lost a great deal of weight. He had stayed on the Plantman Star without leaving. Someone advised Jiang Shang, "What if they want to kill Xiaohuai when you send him over?"
Jiang Shang looked at his silent son, smiling bitterly, "I am also responsible for this matter. If they really want to punish Xiaohuai, I will take his place. It’s my fault; if I had discovered earlier that Bai Li was the Insect God, I would certainly not have let you rush to Gu Yan."
Jiang Huai raised his head, "Father, this has nothing to do with you! It was my own doing because I truly like Gu Yan, that led me to act so rashly."
Jiang Shang shook his head.
Things had come to this point; nothing else said would be of any use. Now, all they could do was to see how the Gu Family decided to deal with them.
Everyone boarded the cosmic spaceship and headed to Landis Star together, and the forces of Landis Star and the Insect Clan had also triumphantly returned to their respective planets.
However...
When it came time to part, Xi Le saw the Lord Insect God boarding the Landis Star’s starship early, not even returning to the Insectoid Planet for a visit, and felt profoundly bitter, unable to help but heave a sigh.
So, the matter of the Insect God marrying into the family could no longer be changed, could it?
