After Ye Yuqiao agreed to stay, Chen Hao suddenly remembered that he had recently bought a couple's T-shirt set from the "Campus Hero and Heroine" series. So he took Yuqiao to the room to change clothes, and according to his plan: eat first, then go shopping for clothes for Yuqiao.

"Your Majesty, every time you run away from home you forget to bring clothes back with you. You wouldn't happen to be doing this on purpose just to buy new ones, would you?" Chen Hao asked.

"So what if I did?" Yuqiao asked back with a blank expression, looking at Chen Hao, "Anyway, it's not like I have to pay for the clothes myself! That's just how capricious I am!"

"Alright, alright!" Chen Hao said cheerfully, his hands on Yuqiao's shoulders as he guided her onto the sofa, "Please take a seat, Your Majesty. It's time to eat!"

Since Tang Jing and Tang Chao were unaware that Yuqiao was there, they brought only one portion of lunch.

"Is one portion of food enough for two people?" Yuqiao questioned.

Chen Hao sat next to Yuqiao and playfully said, "It should be enough. If not, then I'll just have to eat you up!"

"You're naughty!" Yuqiao said, pinching Chen Hao's cheek, then opened the boxes of food on the table in front of her. After her division, most of the food went to Chen Hao, and she kept only a few small bites for herself.

Seeing this, Chen Hao felt touched and his nose tingled with emotion. Thinking of everything Yuqiao had done for him and for Ye Heng in their past life, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, you really are too good!"

"And what good does being too good to you do?" Yuqiao showed a look of grievance, "In the end, I'm still the one who gets bullied by you!"

Hearing Yuqiao say this, Chen Hao felt a surge of guilt and bowed his head, speechless.

After a prolonged silence, Yuqiao lowered her head to look at Chen Hao's gloomy face, blinked her eyes, and asked, "What, are you silently repenting?"

"I'm sorry!" Chen Hao said softly, with a somber face.

"Come on, let's eat! Now's not the time for self-reproach," Yuqiao said with a light laugh. "Be good, if you really feel ashamed, then make it up to me properly. I won't lie to you; my heart is already shattered. Why don't you look for some glue that can mend it?"

Chen Hao was amused by Yuqiao's teasing and said, "Your Majesty, how do I feel like you've suddenly become so eloquent?"

"Humph, you little thing!" Yuqiao pinched Chen Hao's cheek again and said, "No matter what, I've been the Nether King for over ten thousand years, what kind of troublesome characters haven't I encountered? I simply didn't bother to argue with a little brat like you before. But it's different now; you're going to be the Nether King's man, I need to properly train you, you're too unruly!"

"Train me!" Chen Hao said with a bitter face. "Do you see me as a pet?"

While speaking, Chen Hao tightly grasped Yuqiao's hand and said with determination, "I don't think there's any glue that can mend a broken heart in this world; I can only make it up to you from now on. A popular saying these days is that to accompany someone is the most enduring confession. I can only repay you with my eternal companionship!"

"Spill the beans!" Yuqiao suddenly narrowed her eyes, her tone turned somewhat cold. "How many girls have you deceived with that line before?"

"If you count as a girl, then that's one. The first one and will be the last one!"

"Alright, let's eat!" Yuqiao shook Chen Hao's hand as if acting spoiled. "Since it's the most enduring confession, you can be tested by time from here on!"

"Yes!" Chen Hao nodded. Then, he combined the two boxes of separated food back into one, explaining, "Let's eat one portion together; there's no need to be so particular about it."

Yuqiao smiled and nodded.

After lunch, the two of them sat snuggled on the sofa, closing their eyes, and fully enjoying the afternoon spent together.

After a prolonged silence, Ye Yuqiao tenderly touched Chen Hao's face and asked softly, "What have you been doing these four days when I wasn't here? Did you miss me? Any regrets?"

Chen Hao's heart trembled at her question. Immediately, the scene from the night before last, when Man Qingting kissed him, flashed through his mind.

"Bastard!" Ye Yuqiao suddenly shouted angrily, opening her eyes wide in fury, nearly exploding with rage as tears filled her eyes. "While I was hiding in my room feeling heartbroken every day, you went to her! I never want to see you again!"

Having said that, Ye Yuqiao stood up abruptly, furious and intent on leaving.

"Yuqiao!" Chen Hao quickly wrapped his limbs around her. "We agreed last night—you can hit me, scold me, or even kill me, but you can't leave me!"

"Slap! Slap!" Ye Yuqiao slapped Chen Hao's face twice in succession. However, those loud slaps seemed to hit her as well, making her sob as if she were made of tears.

"Evil-Banishing Moon Sword!" Ye Yuqiao summoned the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword. The sword quickly flew out of the room and appeared before her. Holding the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword, she then plunged the sword into his chest.

Watching Chen Hao take his last breath, Ye Yuqiao's anger subsided considerably. Looking at the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword, she asked, "Did you miss me these past few days?"

"Ding, ding, ding!" The Evil-Banishing Moon Sword emitted a crisp sound, while also flashing with a purple glow.

"From now on, if I'm not here, you'll have to keep an eye on this bastard for me. If he dares to do something unfaithful, just stab him to death with one strike!"

"Ding, ding, ding!" The sound from the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword seemed to show great approval of Ye Yuqiao's words.

"Go back," Ye Yuqiao commanded, and the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword then flew back into the room.

Ye Yuqiao watched as Chen Hao's chest wound quickly healed. After a snort, she laid her head down on his chest. When Chen Hao was resurrected and woke up, she asked nonchalantly, "Does it hurt?"

"My Queen, this..." The sudden shift in Ye Yuqiao's emotions left Chen Hao somewhat at a loss. "You're not angry anymore?"

Without replying to Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao hugged him tighter and spoke softly in his arms, "Think back carefully about what happened that night with her, or else I'm not speaking to you again!"

"Hmm!" Chen Hao closed his eyes, his mind replaying the events of that night with Man Qingting. When he remembered the kiss, he distinctly felt a sharp pain in his chest—Ye Yuqiao was biting him.

After he had finished recalling, Ye Yuqiao released her teeth from his now-numb chest. With a sigh, she coldly said, "She's quite pitiful!"

Then, Ye Yuqiao looked up at Chen Hao, stroked his face with both hands, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Actually, you're quite pitiful too, falling in love with the wrong persons in both your past and present lives!"

Chen Hao shook his head, took hold of Ye Yuqiao's chin with both hands, and said with a smile, "I think I'm quite happy, and Ye Heng is pretty happy too."

All of a sudden, Chen Hao's hands pinched Ye Yuqiao's cheek harshly, pretending to be angry, "Now it's my turn to be mad; you were kissed by Ye Heng!"

"And before that you kissed Lin Xiaofan and Tang Jing!"

"My Queen," Chen Hao said with mixed emotions, "which one is the real you, anyway?"

"Which version of me do you like?"

"I like all versions of you!"
