The little crybaby in the group, the young master is a softie

After listening to this, Su Yang rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time. Since it was Guiju's intention, and it involved an old grudge, it really wasn't his place as an outsider to meddle. Besides, Jian Yi had Baiyu by his side, oh no, Guiju, so he didn't think anything serious would happen.

"Okay, then I won't meddle in your business anymore." He shrugged, and the worry he had for Jian Yi gradually faded away. He thought of another important matter instead, "By the way, what about the star track model you mentioned just now? Could it be that you were lying to me too?"

Gum gave him a sidelong glance and raised his chin towards the mahogany cabinet beside him in an unpleasant tone: "See for yourself."

Su Yang's eyes lit up instantly. He rushed to the cabinet and pulled it. Sure enough, there was a half-human-high glass cover inside, and inside the cover was a scaled-down star track model.

On the deep blue base, countless tiny fluorescent dots simulated the stars, slowly rotating along a pre-set trajectory. Even the curvature of the meteorite belt was rendered lifelike. Most remarkable of all, the dome atop the model projected different constellation patterns as the internal star tracks shifted, casting a dazzling glow on Su Yang's face.

"Holy crap! It really exists!" He carefully lifted the glass cover and lightly touched one of the "stars" with his fingertips. The cool metal touch mixed with the warmth of the fluorescent light instantly made him forget the argument just now. Only obsession remained in his eyes. "This is the limited edition 'Galaxy's First Birth', right? I've been looking for it for half a year and can't find it. Where did you get it?"

Goushi leaned back on the sofa, looking at him, who looked like he couldn't move his legs after seeing the treasure, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Why do you care where I got it? Anyway, it's yours now."

Su Yang didn't have time to argue with him. He held the model base and looked at it over and over again, adjusting the orbital speed and lighting up the hidden nebula special effects, muttering to himself, "This detail is amazing... Look at the processing of the dark matter belt, it's even more refined than the official picture..."

He squatted on the ground and fiddled with it for a long time, and even forgot the pain from the collision of his knees. It was not until Gelsemium coughed twice beside him that he realized that there was someone else in the room.

"Hey, are you okay?" He looked up at Gelsemium, whose face was still grim on the sofa. He was holding a newly disassembled planetary part in his hand. His tone was a little awkward. "Do you want... to get you another glass of water? I'll give you mineral water this time."

Gouwen chuckled softly, "Hmph, you still have some conscience."

Su Yang chuckled twice, carefully put the parts back in place, and moved the model towards the sofa. While continuing to study the mechanism of the star track, he asked vaguely:

"Honestly, even a half-baked person like me can tell that this thing contains demonic energy. It's definitely not something from the mortal world. So how did you get this model? Did you steal it?"

"Robbed?" Gouwen raised an eyebrow, his tone a bit boastful, "I bought it from the Demon Realm Auction House. It cost me three boxes of Qi Condensation Orbs."

Su Yang paused and looked up suddenly: "Three boxes? Are you crazy? No matter how good this model is, it can't be worth so much!"

"As long as you are happy, it's worth it."

Gouwen smiled slightly. As ruthless as he was when he attacked just now, he was just as calm at this moment, as if he was not the one who wanted to put the person in the cage.

"Thanks," he muttered without looking up, his fingers already figuring out how to disassemble and reassemble it. "Once I've had enough fun, maybe... I can give you a few parts."

Just as Gouwen was about to say something insulting to him, he saw Su Yang suddenly scream "Ouch!" and a "Pluto" part in his hand fell to the ground and rolled under the sofa.

Su Yang immediately lay down on the carpet, sticking out his butt and reaching out to grab it, muttering: "Little darling, don't run, don't run..."

"Heh...you're such a cute loser."

After saying this, Gouwen leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. The wound on his chest was still aching slightly. The place that was hit by the golden light just now felt like it was branded with a branding iron, and even his breathing was sluggish.

Su Yang was very interested in playing with the model. He adjusted the brightness of the stars and let the meteor belt simulate the impact effect, muttering to himself:

"Look at this Orion's belt. The angle is much more accurate than the official data... Hey, what's the foggy effect of this dark nebula made of? It feels like a real nebula..."

He was so engrossed in the game that he didn't even hear his phone ringing for a long time. However, Gulliver kicked his leg impatiently and said, "Your crappy phone is ringing."

Su Yang finally came to his senses and took out his phone. The word "brother" was flashing on the screen. His hands trembled with fear, and the star track model almost slipped off his knees. He quickly held the model down and answered the phone with a slightly trembling voice: "Hello? Brother?"

"Where are you?" Su Xiang's voice came through the receiver. "Didn't we agree to report our itinerary every five hours? It's already five hours and two minutes."

"Ah... I forgot!" Su Yang scratched his head, glanced at the Gelsemium elegans who was resting with his eyes closed, and confessed honestly, "I'm here with Gelsemium elegans. He made me a super cool star track model, and I was too fascinated by it..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Su Xiang's voice came: "Send me the address."

"Oh, okay!" Su Yang hung up the phone and quickly sent the villa address. After hanging up, he belatedly remembered that he had just been tricked by Gelsemium and those messy intimate behaviors...

He turned his head to look at Gelsemium, and just as he was about to form some words of complaint, he saw that Gelsemium had opened his eyes at some point. There was no arrogance in his eyes anymore, only real nervousness. He sat upright like a primary school student waiting to be lectured.

"Uh...what are you doing?" Su Yang was stunned by his reaction.

Gum ignored him and just stared at the door, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes, even her breathing became lighter.

Less than half an hour later, the sound of a car engine was heard outside the door, followed by the sound of an iron door being pushed open. Footsteps came from far away, bringing with them an invisible sense of oppression.

The moment the door was pushed open, Su Xiang walked in.

Gouwen suddenly stood up and half-knelt before him, his voice as respectful as could be: "Subordinate Gouwen, paying homage to the Great Demon Lord."

Su Yang excitedly grabbed Su Xiang's wrist and said, "Brother! Come here, look at this! Gelsemium got a limited edition of the 'First Birth of the Milky Way'! Super cool! Look at the mechanism of the star orbit, it's more accurate than what's in the textbook!"

He pointed at the details in the model as if presenting a treasure: "And this dark matter belt is made of Nether Stone powder from the demonic world. It changes color under the light! Look, look..."

He reached out and rubbed Su Yang's hair, his fingertips carrying the usual warmth: "Do you like it so much?"

"I love it!" Su Yang lifted the model higher, his eyes shining like stars. "Look at this orbital design. It even depicts Jupiter's Great Red Spot, and the inclination of Saturn's rings. It's exactly the same as the astronomical observation data! Gelsemium said it was made of condensed light crystals from the demon world, and it glows even when the lights are turned off at night!"

Su Xiang took the model and carefully placed it on the coffee table. His fingers gently brushed over the tiny fluorescent dots: "It's indeed exquisitely made."

"Hey, yeah, yeah, it can be disassembled and reassembled here. I just tried speeding up Mars' orbit three times to simulate an asteroid impact. It was awesome!"

Gelsemium secretly looked up and watched the two brothers studying the model. Su Yang, who had just been fighting with him to the death, was now like a puppy who had found a playmate, his tail almost wagging.

Su Xiang picked up a "Pluto" part, weighed it in his palm, turned to look at the half-kneeling Gelsemium, and said in a gentle tone, but with unquestionable majesty: "Stand up. Did you find this model specifically?"

Gelsemium quickly stood up, lowering his head and not daring to look at him: "Yes, I heard that the little... ahem, the young master likes the Star Track model. The Demon Realm Auction House happened to have this one, so I bought it."

Su Xiang nodded calmly, and when he turned his gaze back to Su Yang, he was filled with unwavering doting. "If you like it, I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare a room for you to put the model in, and also get a temperature-controlled display cabinet to keep it from gathering dust."

"Really?!" Su Yang's eyes widened. "But then again, although this model is exquisitely made, there is something wrong with it."

Su Xiang raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What's wrong?"

"Look at the inclination of Saturn's rings," Su Yang said, running his finger across the edge of the model. "It's based on the angle of observation from Earth, but in reality, as Saturn orbits the sun, the rings tilt with the orbital period, and only face the Earth directly once every 29.5 years. The last time they faced the Earth directly was in 2009, and the next time won't be until 2039. This model doesn't take this period into account, so it's not accurate enough."

He then brightened the model's sun. "And the solar cycle should peak every 11 years. The flare frequency in the model is too uniform to be realistic. Look at this data..."

He fished out his phone from his pocket. The memo was densely covered with numbers and symbols. "This is the number of sunspots I've observed over the past six months. It just reached minimum last month, so it should slowly increase from now on."

Su Xiang looked at him flipping through the books seriously and couldn't help laughing: "You tinker with these every day, more seriously than practicing."

"Of course!" Su Yang looked up, his eyes full of pride. "The laws governing the movement of the universe are truly fascinating. Take the moon, for example. The tidal changes on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month are actually related to the centrifugal force of the Earth's rotation. People used to say 'the moon waxes and wanes'. It sounds poetic, but it's actually all about gravity."

"Hahaha, great! Awesome! Now who can tell the difference between Fuxi and my brother?"
