Chapter 85.2
Editor: Jodi
Bai Jing also received messages from the little fatty and An Ge, asking why he still hadn’t admitted that he was Bai Jing.
Gu Yuanzhao frowned, then thought of the messages he’d posted in the middle of the night. Could it be…?
The two of them logged into Starnet at the same time.
Only to see that the top headline on Star Realm was #WhoIsAhJing#, followed by a large “Explosion” sign.
And second on the list was #ZhaoYunCPIsFake#, with a heartbroken emoji accompanying it.
Although Young Master Gu and God Yun had never confirmed their relationship publicly, wherever God Yun was, Young Master Gu was always nearby, and that doting look in his eyes, along with the seamless coordination between the two of them while piloting mechas, made it impossible for their relationship to be fake, so fans had long assumed that the two were a couple.
However Young Master Gu had suddenly announced in the early hours of the morning that ‘Ah Jing agreed to go public’, and that he ‘loved Ah Jing’, which instantly made the CP fans cry in the bathroom.
They all hoped that God Yun was ‘Ah Jing’, but after searching high and low, they couldn’t find any evidence linking the two, which caused their hearts to immediately shatter into pieces.
Some even wondered if Young Master Gu’s account had been hacked. However how could an account as important as that of the Major General’s, backed by the Gu family’s cutting-edge technology, be hacked?
As for Gu Yuanzhao’s fans, they were even more in denial that their idol had someone he liked, as they vowed to find out who this ‘Ah Jing’ was.
The power of fans couldn’t be underestimated, because they dug up everyone who had contact with Young Master Gu that had the character ‘Jing’ in their name.
The first was a high-ranking officer named Jing Ran, who had reportedly been mentored by Young Master Gu, however he already had a family, so, PASS.
The second was a medical staff member named Qi Jing, who had treated Young Master Gu on the battlefield;
The third was……..
Bai Jing looked at the list of names with great interest. 1, 2, 3, 4…… really impressive. They’d actually found eight people who had the character ‘Jing’ in their names.
And they had analyzed each one of them one by one, comparing who was most likely to be the ‘Ah Jing’ Young Master Gu was talking about.
And through this deep digging, they had actually uncovered a small clue: a 20-year-old boy named Qi Jing had once confessed to Young Master Gu publicly and had even applied to be transferred to Young Master Gu’s battlefield unit, only to be reassigned later.
Seeing Bai Jing’s focused gaze on the screen, Gu Yuanzhao’s heart filled with alarm. He clarified immediately, “Ah Jing, I don’t know any of these people, really! I can swear on my life!”
Bai Jing raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Then what’s the deal with this Qi Jing? Didn’t you have him transferred away?”
Gu Yuanzhao quickly tried to remember, then finally dredged up a vague memory of this person. A hint of disgust crossed his brow. “This guy didn’t treat the soldiers properly and was always hanging around me instead, so I revoked his medical license directly.”
Bai Jing: “…..”
The man moved closer to the teenager, wrapping his arms around his slender waist from behind, burying his head in his fair neck, his deep voice carrying a bit of grievance. “Ah Jing, I really have nothing to do with any of them.”
His hot breath lingered around Bai Jing’s ear, slowly caressing the sensitive area of his neck, while his hand around Bai Jing’s waist tightened, as if afraid he would run away.
Bai Jing pried open the hand around his waist then turned to look at him, his teal colored eyes filled with laughter. “En, I believe you.”
Liang Heng returned Gu Yun’s account to its original owner.
And the moment Bai Jing logged in, his screen was flooded with comments and private messages.
[God Yun, don’t be sad. When the old is gone, the new will come.]
[Wuwuwu, how could the ‘Zhao Yun’ CP be fake? I still can’t believe it!]
[Young Master Gu, this scumbag, how dare he betray my God Yun, damn.]
[Is Young Master Gu blind? How could that Ah Jing compare to God Yun!]
[God Yun, leave the Gu family. We can crowdfund the breach of contract penalty fee.]
….
Bai Jing felt a warm sensation in his heart as he looked at these comments.
It seemed that no matter what happened, there would always be someone standing behind him, supporting and encouraging him. He wasn’t fighting alone.
He changed the name Gu Yun on his account to his own quickly, then issued an apology statement.
[Stone Gambler Bai Jing: I’m sorry. Due to personal reasons, I changed my identity from Bai Jing to Gu Yun. I apologize for deceiving everyone. I’m really sorry.]
Gu Yuanzhao immediately reposted this message.
[Major General Gu Yuanzhao: From beginning to end, I’ve only ever liked one person, and that’s Ah Jing, who is also your God Yun. @Stone Gambler Bai Jing]
[???!!!]
[Holy crap, holy crap, Ah Jing = God Yun??]
[Cried and then laughed, ahhhh——]
[Ahhh, the CP I shipped has come true!!]
[Oh my God, I’m so happy I can barely breathe!]
[Wuwuwu, Young Master Gu and God Yun are simply a perfect match.]
[Awooo, please get married right now!!]
Many CP fans who had been crying so much that their eyes were swollen, who had been cursing Young Master Gu for being a scumbag, immediately burst out laughing and were full of energy again after seeing this message, wishing they could laugh out loud three times so it reached the heavens.
They had said it all along. Zhao Yun CP was definitely real!!
It’s real!!! (echoes loudly)
The same thing went for Gu Yuanzhao’s fans.
They had originally been on the verge of losing their minds from anger.
Those ‘Qi Jing’s’ and whatnot—there was no way they matched Young Master Gu. They were not even worthy of carrying his shoes!
But now, after learning that this so-called ‘Ah Jing’ was Gu Yun, they suddenly became uncharacteristically silent.
Clearly, their idol had found someone they liked, and they should be heartbroken, but—
Compared to who the fuck-knows-who, this outcome didn’t seem…… that hard to accept?
Gu Yun, who held titles such as Senior Stone Gambler, exceptional mecha warrior, and the Hero of the Empire, was more than worthy of their idol. What’s more he was also both handsome and exquisitely beautiful, with features so refined that they were beyond reproach.
So for some reason, many people actually just accepted it without any hesitation.
[Sisters, stop struggling. Young Master Gu has already made up his mind.]
[Compared to the others, God Yun is light-years ahead of them!]
[As long as Young Master Gu is happy.]
[I’ve already entered the pit, hehe, so satisfying.]
What started as a controversy had turned into a CP fan celebration, and except for a small minority, everyone else expressed their blessings.
This public revelation turned out to be much smoother than anticipated, even Gu Yuanzhao didn’t expect it.
Of course, after the celebration, fans had some doubts: why did God Yun need to change his identity?
And also, why did the name Bai Jing sound so familiar?
[Holy crap, I just remembered. Wasn’t the stone gambler who tied for first place with Du Xingyu during the stone-gambling apprentice exam called Bai Jing!]
!!!
With this reminder, people run to check the official website of the Stone Gambling Guild hurriedly.
And sure enough, the person who ranked second was Bai Jing from the Proxima Star Guild.
They remembered that this had caused quite a stir at that time, as Bai Jing, born into a commoner family, actually tied for first place with the young prince of the empire Du Xingyu, something which was beyond everyone’s expectations.
So, this Bai Jing was actually God Yun?
Some tech-savvy fans found a picture of Bai Jing when he had been receiving his Level One Stone Gambler badge from the Proxima Star Guild.
The person in the picture was dressed very plainly in a white T-shirt and black pants, with thick, black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, a far cry from God Yun’s current image.
If it wasn’t for the fact that fans stared at God Yun’s stunning beauty almost eight hundred times a day wishing they could lick their screens, and so noticed the similarity in their slender physiques, it would’ve been difficult for them to recognize him.
The difference was too big.
[I kind of want to cry. It feels like God Yun had such a hard time before.]
[Wearing those black-rimmed glasses must have been to avoid harassment, right? Commoners don’t have the same protections as nobles.]
[Looking at God Yun’s plain clothes makes my heart ache. Even his light brain is the oldest model.]
[Suddenly, I understand why God Yun changed his name.]
