Chapter 43.2
Late at night.
When Gu Yuanzhao arrived home, there was a slightly tired expression on his face. Pushing open the door, he found that the lights in the living room were on.
Bai Jing was sitting on the sofa, watching the first training video in the chip intently.
He had already watched this video more than ten times, but every time he played it again, he would still get excited and yearn to be able to perform Gu Yuanzhao’s smooth and graceful movements when piloting a mecha.
Hearing the sound, he quickly put his light brain away then looked up at Gu Yuanzhao with a smile: “You’re back?”
There was a little bit of familiarity in his voice compared to before.
Looking at the teenager’s delicate features and bright smile, Gu Yuanzhao’s heart was on fire and all his tiredness vanished in that instant, his eyes also softening unconsciously: “Why aren’t you sleeping? Were you waiting for me?”
Bai Jing nodded: “En, I was waiting for you.”
The moment Gu Yuanzhao heard his reply, the pounding of his heart slowed down a beat. The teenager had been waiting for him. Did that mean—
Bai Jing blinked, signaling for him to look at the table.
Eh, can’t you see so many energy boxes? He had deliberately put them in a conspicuous place.
Seeing the energy boxes placed on the living room table, Gu Yuanzhao’s expression stiffened slightly, the excitement and expectation that had just surged immediately doused by cold water.
However this time, he quickly regained his composure after already having had experience then turned his attention to the energy boxes.
When he saw the fifteen energy boxes on the table, a trace surprise flashed in his dark eyes: “This many? Ah Jing, you don’t have to be so anxious.”
It had only been less than twenty days since they had reached an agreement.
Bai Jing: “Uh, I happen to have a lot of free time as I haven’t participated in a betting war during this time.”
Gu Yuanzhao placed the energy boxes into his spatial button: “I will have the appraiser test the purity level as soon as possible and then do the promotion. I will definitely auction them at a price that will satisfy you.” Bai Jing’s voice was obviously a little more joyful as he replied: “Ok, thank you!”
He had recently purchased a mecha that cost 20 million starcoins, plus the expensive training fees, and then there might also be fees for modifying the mecha and maintaining it later. So he really needed to make more money.
Gu Yuanzhao turned around, glanced at the distance between the two of them then knelt on the sofa beside Bai Jing with one knee on it, keeping his strong left arm on the back of the sofa as he maintained a distance that was beyond normal but not offensive, his voice magnetic and low as he asked: “Why are you being so polite with me?”
Bai Jing didn’t dodge, as his gaze was attracted by the spatial button that was swaying at the front of Gu Yuanzhao’s chest. He rebutted subconsciously: “I’m not…”
Gu Yuanzhao approached another step imperceptibly, causing his tall figure to nearly envelope the teenager. Lowering his head slightly, he whispered seductively with a magnetic voice near his ear: “Do you want to continue tonight?”
“Of course!”
Gu Yuanzhao had been very busy recently and so came back very late every time and Bai Jing was too embarrassed to bother him much.
This time, with Gu Yuanzhao taking the initiative, he definitely couldn’t miss this rare opportunity.
Bai Jing raised his head happily, but due to their close proximity, his lips inadvertently brushed against the corners of Gu Yuanzhao’s curved lips.
The two froze at the same time.
The teenager’s lips were exceptionally soft and the wonderful sensation of the two lips touching each other kept playing in Gu Yuanzhao’s mind. The beating of his heart went completely out of control and his hand on the back of the sofa turned blue, his 3S level of perception almost shattering the walls of the living room.
Looking into the teenager’s eyes which had slight shock in them as well as his long curly eyelashes, Gu Yuanzhao’s gaze deepened and his muscular left arm tightened gradually.
The two moved closer and closer, causing their hot breaths to intertwine, the atmosphere gradually becoming hazy.
However as a strong and dominant cold fragrance seemed to be swell between their noses, Bai Jing quickly came back to his senses and seeing the handsome face that was close at hand, was stunned for a moment. Then he quickly rolled over from the other side and escaped the dangerous looking posture.
Gu Yuanzhao could have stopped him, but he restrained himself and allowed him escape.
Facing the empire’s youngest general’s scorching gaze that was almost a living breathing thing, Bai Jing moved his gaze slightly, his breathing coming in a little hurried. The accidental kiss just now, as well as Gu Yuanzhao’s actions, were…..
The teenager’s cheeks were tinged with a thin layer of red and against the backdrop of his fair skin, it looked particularly obvious.
“Ah Jing…..” Gu Yuanzhao’s voice was low and hoarse, a hint of seduction in it: “Let’s go train.”
“Not, not today.”
Bai Jing’s voice had lost its usual clarity, a hint of anger and embarrassment in it. He slammed the door to his bedroom shut.
That night, neither of them slept.
Gu Yuanzhao sat in the spot where Bai Jing had been sitting. He touched his lips gently with his fingertips, his eyes darkening for a moment as if he could still feel the touch of the teenager’s lips, mesmerising him.
Perhaps from the first moment he had seen him, he had already fallen in.
And as the teenager became more and more outstanding, he also became increasingly captivated.
Had anyone else been here, they would have been so shocked that their eyes would have popped out.
It was just a kiss. What kind of beauty would the heir of the Gu Conglomerate not get if he asked for, yet he was unexpectedly so uh, innocent?
In actual fact, the highly respected Young Master Gu had always had high expectations, so this was indeed the first time his heart had been moved.
And from the looks of things, it was a one sided love?
In his room, Bai Jing lay on the bed with his eyes open, reflecting on his experiences over the past few days then he suddenly understood something.
He understood why Gu Yuanzhao had been so kind to him.
Why he had saved him with expensive genetic fluids, provided him with a place to stay and had helped him conceal his identity.
It was because Gu Yuanzhao liked him.
Thinking this way, everything made sense.
To cater to his preferences, he had gone to great lengths to decorate his room, even showed him his most precious mecha and had even allowed him sit in the co-pilot seat.
It turns out it was because of this.
Bai Jing closed his eyes gently, however that unexpected kiss came unbidden to his mind. He opened his eyes again.
Ugh, he couldn’t sleep.
Early the next morning, Gu Yuanzhao had Qiao An send the energy boxes to the appraisal department and the results came out in less than half a day.
Qiao An: “Young Master Gu, all fifteen energy boxes have reached the medium level of grade five.”
There was a hint of surprise in Gu Yuanzhao’s eyes. Grade five?
He remembered that the highest grade of energy fluids Bai Jing had provided the Star Ocean Auction House with was only grade four. Had he advanced so quickly to grade five?
Such speed!
Gu Yuanzhao mused, “Have the relevant personnel do a good job of promoting it and then auction them in a week.”
Qiao An: “Yes, Young Master Gu.”
However as he left, there was a somewhat hesitant expression on his face.
The quantity of these energy boxes was indeed substantial, but their purity couldn’t compare to the top quality energy boxes made by a master level energy master.
Of course, there were very few master level energy masters and the Gu Conglomerate hadn’t hired any.
However not long ago, a senior energy master had brought several high quality grade five energy boxes, hoping to seek cooperation with the Gu Conglomerate, but Young Master Gu hadn’t been impressed.
So why were they spending so much on publicity this time around?
Right, that great master!
Qiao An suddenly came to a realization as he recalled the great master he and Liang Heng had used various forces to track down.
But that great master could only produce medium level grade five energy fluids? It had to be said that this was a bit of a departure from what he had imagined.
However no matter what he thought, Qiao An still executed the task faithfully.
In the next week, during the intervals of the betting wars in the Gu Conglomerate’s gambling hall, all the advertisements for nutrient fluids were replaced with previews for the energy fluid auction a week later, with the Starnet live betting zone also having been refreshed with the notification.
With the Gu Conglomerate’s wealth and means, the news spread at an extremely fast speed and everyone knew that the Gu Conglomerate was about to enter the energy industry.

Their brains will break when they learn that he exceeded half a class higher from a level 4 jade.
Man, first time I saw an mc that’s quick to understand the ml’s advances. Seems like he’s not completely dense huh. And I like that he’s not really freaking out and having extreme outbursts in terms of reactions.
Thansk for the chapter~~~
