As if sensing Gu Chang's confusion, Ouyang Yuanqi explained, "I was just practicing martial arts and was sweating."

Gu Chang understood clearly.

"Do you need me to wipe your hair?" Gu Chang glanced at Ouyang Yuanqi's slightly wet hair and asked subconsciously.

Ouyang Yuanqi frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Gu Chang finally realized that what he said was very abrupt, and was about to say forget it.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Yuanqi agreed.

One of them was sitting and the other was standing. Gu Chang was stroking Ouyang Yuanqi's black hair, a little absent-minded. Ouyang Yuanqi's hair was unexpectedly soft.

After wiping his hair, Gu Chang said directly: "I want to hand over all my family's shops to you, Your Highness."

"Why?" Ouyang Yuanqi's star-like eyes slightly closed, and his crow-feather-like eyelashes drooped.

Gu Chang curled his lips and said in a good mood, "Because I believe in you." This is of course a betrothal gift for you, although it is not much.

Ouyang Yuanqi frowned slightly, "You are not worried..."

It was strange that Gu Chang trusted him so much when they had only met each other a few times.

"What do I have to worry about? I'm leaving it to you. You just need to give me some dividends." Gu Chang's hand brushed across Ouyang Yuanqi's hair, picked up a strand, and played with it between his fingertips.

"If you want to know why..." Gu Chang deliberately dragged out his tone, caught Ouyang Yuanqi's gaze, and said directly, "I like you."

Ouyang Yuanqi was stunned, feeling an unknown emotion filling his chest.

He said he liked him.

Ouyang Yuanqi's ears turned slightly red, but his face remained serious.

He didn't know why when he heard Gu Chang's words, he was quickly filled with sweetness. This feeling was very strange, as if he had waited for a long time and finally got it.

It’s like my heart, which has been empty for a long time, has finally found a home.

Gu Chang's straight shot caught Ouyang Yuanqi off guard. But seeing that the effect was good, Gu Chang felt even better.

This shows that the lover of this life still has feelings for him.

"Why aren't you talking?" Gu Chang moved closer, passed his hands through Ouyang Yuanqi's neck, hugged him loosely, rested his chin next to his face, and stared at Ouyang Yuanqi's profile with a pair of gentle eyes, looking at him carefully.

The system was stunned by Gu Chang's bold move.

How come it had never discovered that the host was such a person before? For the first time, the system doubted its ability to detect the host's personality.

Yes, when Gu Chang was chosen as the host, in addition to the matching value of up to 99%, it also conducted a personality test on Gu Chang. According to his life story, the test result was that he was a first-class citizen with no bad habits and was willing to help others, except that he was a little unlucky.

The system couldn't figure it out, so it had to redefine some of Gu Chang's data.

Long San heard the sound of the door opening and looked over subconsciously.

Gu Chang and Ouyang Yuanqi came out of the study at the same time, and there was an inexplicable atmosphere between them.

Half a month later, a blind date... no, a blind date in the name of chrysanthemum viewing.

Many carriages were parked outside the gate of Anshan Palace, and the servants in the palace were diligently leading the guests into the palace.

This blind date was a grand affair, with all kinds of precious chrysanthemums displayed in the garden, a dazzling display of colors. Many female relatives were also seen walking around in the garden.

The sun was shining brightly that day, and there was a gentle breeze.

The female members of the family were all in the garden, where there were all kinds of fruits and snacks for people to enjoy.

The young masters gathered in another place.

Ouyang Jingye stood in the corridor with a look of deep hatred, looking at the rockery, and couldn't help sighing.

Gu Chang was dressed in white, with a piece of mutton-fat jade hanging around his waist. He leaned against a pillar, glanced at Ouyang Jingye several times, and said, "Today is your big day, why are you sighing?"

"A great day? Ziqing, stop teasing me." Ouyang Jingye covered his face and wailed, "I'm only sixteen. I still have four years until I reach adulthood. Why is my mother so desperate to arrange a marriage for me?"

In this world setting, regardless of gender, twenty years old is considered an adult.

When Gu Chang first learned about this setting, he was a little surprised. After all, this is a Mary Sue world.

The young man standing next to Ouyang Jingye joked, "What's so strange about this? Some people at your age already have children."

"Wenyuan!" Ouyang Jingye hit his shoulder in frustration.

Fu Wenyuan is from Princess Li's family. He has a very good relationship with Ouyang Jingye and is also a classmate and good friend.

Sitting in the room was Ouyang Yuanqi.

Seeing that the two of them were arguing with each other, Gu Chang turned around and went into the house.

I happened to see Ouyang Yuanqi practicing calligraphy.

Gu Chang walked to the desk, put his hands on the table, and moved closer to see what Ouyang Yuanqi was writing.

"What's the matter?" Ouyang Yuanqi put down his pen and looked up at him.

Gu Chang smiled lightly, "Can't I come and see you if I have nothing to do?"

Ouyang Yuanqi couldn't bear Gu Chang's affectionate eyes, and the tips of his white jade ears turned slightly red.

The sound in the corridor disappeared at some point. Gu Chang turned his head to look towards the window.

Sure enough, there were two round heads on the windowsill.

Ouyang Jingye's eyes showed treachery on one side and love on the other. Fu Wenyuan was fine, but his gossipy look betrayed his inner thoughts.

"Ziqing, when did you become so close to big brother?" Ouyang Jingye's tone was a little sour.

Gu Chang raised his lips and said, "You are too young. You won't understand even if I tell you."

"My mother doesn't think I'm young..." Ouyang Jingye said quietly.

Fu Wenyuan laughed out loud without any hesitation.

Gu Chang, “…” This child.

After a while, all the young men waiting outside were invited into the garden.

Ouyang Jingye insisted on dragging Gu Chang to accompany him to the garden. After all, although Gu Chang was not on the list of men he most wanted to marry in Beijing, at least Gu Chang could help him block it.

Ouyang Yuanqi didn't go. He just stood in the attic and looked at the garden below.

Princess Li knew that she was lucky enough to invite people to the palace, so she didn't ask anyone to disturb him.

The women in the garden were dressed in colorful gauze-like dresses, floating gracefully in the colorful garden.

Next to Princess Li was a young girl in a light green dress, with long, beautiful black hair dotted with silver ornaments, an oval face, a straight nose, bright red lips, and fair skin that seemed fragile. Her pair of clear, autumn-like eyes looked at her, making people feel pity for her.

"You kid, why did you come just now?" Although Princess Li is already in her thirties, she is well maintained and has a kind of plump beauty.

Ouyang Jingye stepped forward and held Princess Li's hand. "Mother, I was so engrossed in reading that it was Wenyuan who reminded me to come here."

Fu Wenyuan, who was standing by, bowed to Princess Li and said hello.

Gu Chang also said hello.

"Oh." Princess Li's eyes sparkled with tears when she saw Gu Chang. "I heard that you haven't been feeling well. Don't act crazy with my son. If he bullies you, tell me."

Before Gu Chang could speak, Ouyang Jingye interrupted, "Mother, how can you say that to me? Ziqing is my friend."

"Yes, yes, it's mother who has wronged you." Princess Li agreed with her son perfunctorily.

"This is your cousin, Asahi." Princess Li took the hand of the girl beside her and introduced her softly.

Ouyang Jingye had noticed Fu Qianzhou early on. After hearing his mother's introduction, he glanced at Fu Qianzhou twice, just twice, and no more.

Princess Li sighed inwardly after noticing this.

Similarly, Fu Qianzhou lowered his eyes, seeming a little sad, but still smiling gently.

Today, Zhang Xingye brought the black-clad woman who had appeared at Zhuqieju that day. Soon, many people gathered around Zhang Xingye to chat.

Although Zhang Xingye's character was not very good, his father was the prime minister after all.

Therefore, this area is also particularly lively.

Ouyang Jingye said a few words to Princess Li, then left the pavilion with Gu Chang and Fu Wenyuan.

Princess Li held Fu Qianzhou's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry about it. Jingye has always been more playful than others since he was young. When he grows up, he will understand your goodness."

Fu Qianzhou comforted Princess Li, "It's okay, Princess."

She was thinking, Ouyang Jingye looked down on her, and she might not look down on Ouyang Jingye either. Why should she hang herself on a tree?

The young man in white who just came with me is quite good.

Gu Chang, who had no idea that someone was thinking about him, was still listening to Ouyang Jingye introduce the varieties of chrysanthemums.

Gu Chang noticed that the heroine was staying in the pavilion. The woman standing opposite the heroine seemed very arrogant. She was wearing a light red long-sleeved dress, which was much better than the heroine's plain white dress.

Some of the ladies and gentlemen who came today were also wearing white clothes.

It’s just that Gu Chang doesn’t really want to wear the same color clothes as the heroine.

Gu Chang lowered his head slightly and saw that he was wearing white clothes. He looked up and asked Ouyang Jingye, "Do you have any clothes that suit me?"

"Hmm?" Ouyang Jingye was interrupted, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he had an expression that said, "Your clothes are dirty. I knew it. I told you not to wear white clothes, but you didn't listen."

Ouyang·Old Madam·Jing Ye started to grumble. Gu Chang just listened quietly, nodding from time to time.

Fu Wenyuan didn't go with them. He found Fu Qianzhou standing next to Jinju and asked, "Did the clan leader ask you to come?"

Fu Qianzhou smiled softly, his eyes moving and his gaze shining.

"If it's his intention, I can choose not to come, but this is the only chance I have. What do you think, brother?" Fu Qianzhou's last voice was particularly soft, and only Fu Wenyuan could hear it.

Fu Wenyuan's face darkened. "Yes, you only have this one chance." After saying that, he turned and left.

Fu Qianzhou was still smiling as she stood there. Today was the day when the heroine would become famous. Of course, she had to seize this hard-earned opportunity...

The atmosphere of the blind date was very good and the usual routine soon began.

The poetry competition has officially begun.

Xu Ruowei stood in the pavilion, her round fingernails digging into her palms, her knuckles turning white.

The words Xu Yuya said made her want to tear her mouth apart and humiliate her.

Don't worry, the time is not yet.

Xu Ruowei told herself this.

Suddenly, a scent of flowers wafted over.

Xu Ruowei turned her head and saw a girl with bright eyes and white teeth walking towards her in a light green dress. Her pair of clear autumn eyes seemed to contain autumn water, which made people feel pity for her.

"Hello, my name is Fu Qianzhou, Qian means deep and shallow, and Zhou means three water drops."

Xu Ruowei was stunned. She looked at Fu Qianzhou warily, without showing any strange expression. "My name is Xu Ruowei. What can I do for you?"

Fu Qianzhou stepped forward and took Xu Ruowei's arm, moving closer to her. "When I saw you, I felt like we were compatible. Come on, let's go over there and take a look."

Fu Qianzhou was talking about the center where everyone was gathered, where Princess Li was.

Gu Chang changed into a dark-colored, silver-patterned double-breasted robe, which made his skin look even paler, but his eyes were exceptionally dark and bright.

Ouyang Jingye was very impressed when he saw him change his clothes. "Not bad, let's go, otherwise my mother will nag again." He thought Ziqing was still too thin and felt that he would be blown away by the wind.

"Where is Prince Yu?" Gu Chang asked.

Ouyang Jingye patted Gu Chang's shoulder and said, "Brother won't be attending this banquet, don't worry."

Gu Chang, "..."

As soon as they turned the corner, they saw two sneaky figures walking towards them.

Before Ouyang Jingye could react, he felt a strong force pulling at the back of his collar and someone covered his mouth.

Gu Chang took Ouyang Jingye to hide behind the rockery, raised his index finger at Ouyang Jingye, and told him not to make a sound.

Ouyang Jingye nodded quickly, thinking that Ziqing still had so much strength.

The two sneaky figures were Zhang Xingye and a young man who was obviously indulged in excessive sexual activities.

The two were talking about something.

Gu Chang called out to the system.

Then he heard what the two men were saying.

Zhang Xingye sneered, "I want you to go and get rid of Xu Ruowei, the cousin."

The young man laughed lewdly, "No problem, Boss. What did this woman do?"

"She bullied Yu Ya, how could I let her go? Isn't she just an unfavored legitimate daughter? And she's so arrogant!"

"But, Prince Yu..."

"Why are you hesitating? Do you think she has any backers now? Prince Yu is only helping her out of favors. He hasn't appeared here today." Zhang Xingye said this meaningfully, then patted the young man on the shoulder, "Don't worry, you will definitely get the benefits after the matter is done."

The young man's eyes lit up, "Yes! Boss!"
