Chapter 3 - I’ve got this Tyrant’s back (3)


Chapter 3 I have this Tyrant’s back


He must have been scared.


Gu Yuan’s eyes darkened slightly. His right hand landed gingerly on the young boy’s taut back. His gaze swept over the uninvited guests who were blocking the way. “If you’re planning on doing this another time, I might as well take one of your hands now.”


The attack Lu Deng predicted did not materialize. Lu Deng blinked, he wanted to turn around and take a look at the situation, but Gu Yuan put him deeper against his chest to protect him.


There were many forces that were secretly watching him. Gu Yuan knew in his heart that if he got rid of one wave, another wave would come. Taking out this ‘kept-man’ contract was to avoid people’s eyes and ears and other meddlesome matters. However, he had overlooked the possibility that if those people couldn’t get to him, they would then turn their spears towards the people around him.


Glancing at the young man who was tightly encircled within Gu Yuan’s arms, this group of people hesitantly drew back. Inwardly though, they were all very surprised.


Gu Yuan was someone who had come into wealth and power by riding the ups and downs of the business world. He has always been thorough in handling matters. Rarely was he ever this ruthless. It seemed that he did indeed highly value this little lover in his arms.


Although they were monitoring Gu Yuan, this was far from the right time to have a t.i.t-for-tat confrontation. The one leading this group repeatedly apologized. Seeing that Gu Yuan did not intend to pursue, he hurriedly signaled the rest with his eyes. They all hurried down the stairs and left the hotel without a look back.


Seeing that they had dispersed, Gu Yuan put away the gun in his hand.


Lu Deng stirred. He finally raised his head from his bosom to meet the man’s bottomless pair of dark eyes.


Looking into the pure and clear eyes starting up at him from within his arms, Gu Yuan’s expression eased once again. He loosened his hold around the young man, leaned over and gently ruffled his hair. “Sorry.”


The young man was not much more proficient in his movements than Gu Yuan was. When Gu Yuan had his arms around the other, he was more able to sense the instant stiffness in the young man’s shoulders, arms, and waist. Obviously, he wasn’t used to doing things like this.


He’d only been brought back for a ‘kept man’ contract and then he suddenly encountered this kind of incident. No matter how courageous he was, he would inevitably receive quite the scare.


At the moment, all forces were gambling against each other, pulling the whole body together. Gu Yuan still had matters to see to. He couldn’t let himself rashly get into conflict with those people. Protecting the young man up to this point was already as much as he could do.


Lu Deng blinked, shook his head lightly, and took his hand trying to rea.s.sure him. “I’m fine.”


When Gu Yuan opened his mouth to speak, Lu Deng had already realized his mistake.


The mission target was currently at the center of a balanced struggle between the various forces. Although those people are keeping a close eye on Gu Yuan, they would never make any rash moves. When that man moved his hand to his waist, that was probably just a conditioned reflex. Lu Deng was in the middle of a high-tension mission and his thoughts were somewhat muddled.


The hand he’d used to hold the gun was suddenly held gently. Gu Yuan’s heart raced for a moment. He rolled his wrist around his hand and said warmly, “This happened because I didn’t think things through. Stay with me for a while and then I’ll send you home. ”


Lu Deng’s movements turned slightly sluggish and he did not immediately follow.


Noticing the change in the weight around his wrist, Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He looked back and was met with a rare yet genuine look of distress in the young man’s eyes. A faint smile flashed through Gu Yuan’s eyes. “I won’t ask you to do your homework.”


Although those people have already fled, you couldn’t say for sure that there weren’t some other people keeping watch in the dark. They still hadn’t confirmed this ‘kept-man’ business. They couldn’t immediately lower their guard.


Hearing his rea.s.surance, Lu Deng finally felt relieved. The furrow between his brows eased and he immediately headed up. With light and brisk steps, he returned to the other’s side.


Having gotten used to being alone for a long time, Gu Yuan found the feeling of being accompanied not only novel but also unexpectedly good.


The young man’s hand was warm and steady, you could feel the vibrant sensation of life. Gu Yuan’s hand was held somewhat firmly. It’s been a long time since he’d felt that peace and warmth of actual touch and the feeling quietly and unwittingly settled in his chest.


Gu Yuan led the person back to the private room. The candlelight flickered because of the air that rushed in when he opened the door. The dim and cold light seemed to warm up again.


“I still have things to do. You can do whatever you want. Don’t mind me.”


Rubbing Lu Deng’s short hair, Gu Yuan spoke softly. He took his schoolbag and placed it by the table. “It’s getting late, go take a shower. I’ll ask the secretary to bring you a change of clothes.”


Finally, it’s starting! He’s asking the host to take a shower!


Hearing Gu Yuan’s words, the system suddenly went on high alert. It desperately shook the little warning bell. “Host! Be careful! This is a trap!”


When taking a shower, you’d need to take off your clothes but there was no a.s.surance that you’d be able to put them back on after taking them off. All the books say so!


The system has read a lot of book and he’s read of countless cases where the frog was cooked in boiling water. It had been on guard until the target finally gave himself away. It immediately mustered all its energy and weighed down with anxiety, notified the host that it must, at all costs, watch out for his safety.


Knowing that it meant well, Lu Deng touched the amulet hanging on his neck and turned the volume off completely. He walked to the bathroom. “Don’t worry, help me do a search first and see if there’s any additional information.”


After their brief interactions, he has already acquired a rough understanding of the target. When the other asked him to take off his clothes, it was probably simply because he really did want to give him a new set of clothes.


With the help of the system, Lu Deng checked the data the Main System had sent over and found some additional doc.u.ments that were almost overlooked. Sure enough, he found the character background for his poor ident.i.ty.


He was named Lu Zhiguang in this world, and he was two months away from turning 20. Both his parents, his entire family, were killed in the invasion five years ago. He managed to get by using the meager aid he’s given. He lived in a garret in the slum area at the outskirts of the city. He was a student who was about to take the standardized exams.


Galileo was located in the Pulitzer galaxy. Once citizens of the galaxy reach the age of eighteen, they can take the once-in-three-years standardized test given throughout the whole galaxy. If they pa.s.s the test, they can enter the school of their choice and would even be granted a temporary residence permit for the planet where their school is located.


For many students who live on small fringe planets, this was their best chance to change their destiny.


Gu Yuan has always been wary even of the people around him. Even the secretary could only meet him occasionally. He must have already read all his information early on.


No wonder he was so set on making me do my homework.


He took off his simple and neat clothes, folded them and set them in a pile. The hot water came spilling out. Lu Deng held his breath and raised his head to let the warm water wash over him.


The standardized tests are held once every three years. If you miss one, you’ll have to wait another three years. But for Galilean, whose planet has already half lost its sovereignty and could be completely invaded at any time, they might not be able to wait for another three years.


Gu Yuan wanted to rescue him. He also wanted to rescue the entire Planet Galileo. In the end, he succeeded, so he alone fell into the bleak and desolate starry sand belt.


That simply won’t do.

Coming out of the bathroom, a new set of clothes has been placed by the door.


The s.h.i.+rts and trousers are still simple in style, but the fabrics were much better than that of his original clothes. The fit was just right, and the details are far more refined.


Lu Deng put clothes back on and walked towards the sofa, treading on the soft carpet. Gu Yuan was leaning back on the sofa. His brows were furrowed and the computer around his wrist was still running.


The room was quiet and the smart computer s.h.i.+eld has been re-deployed. Lu Deng quietly sat back at the table. Looking at the man’s furrowed brows half-hidden in shadow, he hesitated for a moment, then gently opened his schoolbag and took out his homework, which he then spread open on the table.


The standardized exam was set to happen before Gu Yuan was a.s.sa.s.sinated. He had to protect the target at all costs. In any case, that test was doomed to be missed.


These topics are too simple for him, and they are boring to do. But if him doing his homework well, would more or less provide comfort to the other party, then it didn’t matter even if he had to finish a few more workbooks.


He twirled the pen between his fingers a couple of times. Lu Deng sat upright, he made sure to slow down and then continued to do his homework.


As time pa.s.sed, the sky outside the window turned completely dark but there was no other movement from the sofa behind him.


The candle light was soft and warm, light and soothing fragrance diffused throughout the room. His new change of clothes were soft and comfortable and soft, it also had that light, fresh scent particular to the fabric.


After that nice warm shower, his relaxed body began to feel drowsy. The pen nib drew two circles and then the text before his eyes began to blur and separate underneath the dim light.


Lu Deng rubbed his eyes and stubbornly held onto the pen. But in the end, he still leaned over and pillowed his head on his arms.



After who know how long, Gu Yuan was able to free himself from his exhausting official duties. He ma.s.saged his dully-aching temples.


The next moment, he remembered about the young man who was lying on the table. He was wearing the clothes he’d specially asked the secretary to send over. He seemed to be sound asleep, and the lamplight cast a soft halo over his thin silhouette.


The situation was becoming tenser and tenser and it took far more effort to deal with it than before. He’d told the young man to accompany him for a while but it unwittingly turned out to take this long.


Gu Yuan chuckled soundlessly. He shook his head and stood up, walking lightly over to the table. His eyes fell on the boy.


The young face was delicate and pretty; it had yet to experience the setbacks of too many trials and hards.h.i.+ps. He was probably sleeping soundly, his eyebrows smoothed out into gentle arcs. The candlelight jumped onto his thick eyelashes even the soft down on his ears could clearly be seen. His looks easily aroused a big-brother sense of responsibility in those who saw him.


Seeing that he was sound asleep, Gu Yuan chose not to wake him up. Instead, he leaned down and packed up his schoolbag for him. He wrapped the person in his arms, took the coat to cover him and carried him out of the private room.


Judging from that incident on the stair, this boy has already been placed in the ‘belonging to Gu Yuan’ category. Since there was no way to take him out from there, then the only choice was to put him firmly in it. He’ll put his brand on him so that people won’t get any ideas to lay their hands on what they shouldn’t.


There were still two months before the standardized exams. He just needed to protect this person during this period. As long as Lu Zhiguang succeeds in the exam, he can leave Galileo, go to the school of his choice, find a peaceful planet, and live in peaceful and tranquil life.


Advanced studies would take at least four or five years to complete. Given four or five years, that should be enough for him to return this planet to it’s former rich and peaceful state.


If at that time, he was still alive…


Usually, he never indulged in visualizing a too uncertain future. Even this thought was only fleeting, but as he walked through the corridors with a warm body in his arms, his heart still occasionally gave a faint stir.


His home planet was in an unstable situation. Gu Yuan couldn’t afford to spare any thought on other matters. But occasionally there would be short flashes of thought and he would think back on the once rich, peaceful, lively and warm-hearted planet in his memory.


If they were still around by that time, he can’t say for certain that he wouldn’t earnestly try to ‘provide’ for this person. Then he would consider whether they should develop an intimate relations.h.i.+p that went beyond just cooperating with each other.


He couldn’t help laughing at his own thoughts. Gu Yuan put away those errant ideas. He took the person in his arms all the way to the exclusive elevator for VIP use. He raised his hand to fix the coat covering the boy. His movements then suddenly stopped.


At some point, the boy in his arms had already woken up, looking up and quietly meeting his gaze. The boy moved slightly and hugged him under the cover of the coat. The warmth from his chest overflowed onto his chest and shoulders.


The unfamiliar heartbeat gently tapped against his chest, Gu Yuan couldn’t help holding his breath. He lowered his head and met the clear and firm light in his dark pupils.


He still couldn’t figure out what this gaze meant, but at that moment, he suddenly had some kind of misconception——


With a “ding”, the elevator arrived at the aerial parking lot, letting out a clear nd melodious ding.


Quickly withdrawing his lost thoughts, Gu Yuan raised his hand to hold the elevator’s open door b.u.t.ton. He said in a low voice, “Don’t move yet.”


There may be watching eyes outside. Carrying the young man out like this would give those people a clear signal. At least up until now, no matter which force it was, none of them had the guts to provoke him.


Lu Deng didn’t speak. Instead, he closed his eyes again and leaned against the other’s shoulder.


When the smart computer’s signal was detected, the levitating car parked in the garage flashed twice and automatically opened the door.


Gu Yuan leaned over and lay the young man in the co-pilot seat. He got in and then fastened the young man’s seatbelt for him. He placed the schoolbag in his arms, smiled and rubbed the boy’s hair. “Nice teamwork.”



He actually brought out the schoolbag with him.


The mission target truly was too attentive. Looks like all of Lu Deng’s efforts at pretending to be asleep were all for nothing. Lu Deng blinked. Resigning himself to this misfortune, he held the bag in his arms and sighed silently.


Seeing that he was a little lackl.u.s.ter, Gu Yuan could only a.s.sumed that it was because he was still sleepy. He reached out a hand to adjust the co-pilot’s seat to lay flat. He said warmly, “Sleep for a while. I know the way.”


The figure in the seat moved, found a more comfortable posture, and obediently quieted down.


Gu Yuan stretched a bit. A relaxed smile emerged unbidden in the outer corner of his eyes. He started the levitating car and headed for the slums at the outskirts of the city.


The speed of the car was very fast, and it didn’t take long for a desolate area devastated by the war to appear before them.


Lu Deng hadn’t fallen asleep and when he heard the system prompt that they had reached their destination, he unfastened his seat belt and sat up. Gu Yuan had already parked the car and had already opened the door for him. “Come. I’ll take you home.”


Although he saw the sight in front of him, the man’s expression was still as usual; only the way the look in his eyes deepened faintly revealed the disquiet in his heart. Lu Deng nodded and got out of the car with his schoolbag on his back. When Gu Yuan walked around, Lu Deng took the initiative to grab the other’s hand.


Vaguely sensing of the silent comfort in the boy’s actions, Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. However, he didn’t ask much and simply led the boy by the hand as they walked towards the garret area.


In order to match his ident.i.ty, the place the Main System was also very shabby. It was probably just a small room big enough to sleep in.


Lu Deng was not afraid of this. The number of staff members were limited and the number of tasks he had performed were countless. He had slept in a T-rex’s den and even in a crack on a cliff face. No living condition no matter how harsh would be unbearable for him.


He took out the key from his schoolbag and unlocked the padlock before opening the door. However, Lu Deng’s expression suddenly changed. He quickly raised his hand and without the slightest bit of hesitation, closed the door tightly shut.


President Gu, who had been planning go into the room to have a look, was caught off guard and was barred from entering the room. He looked down at the young man leaning against the door, absolutely refusing to let him in. He asked hesitantly, “Why… can’t I enter?”


The author has something to say: Lu Deng: …cannot Q^Q
