After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Forget it, why think so much? There are still twenty years left anyway.

Song Jinnian shook off the messy thoughts in his mind and forced a smile.

"Sorry, my father is busy, my mother..."

Halfway through the sentence, I got stuck.

Oh yeah, what did his mother do?

So he looked at the butler in front of him with an inquiring look.

"In reply to the young master, the lady is also discussing important life matters with her...lover."

The housekeeper said it as nicely as possible.

Well, his mother has gone to find a lover too.

Song Jinnian understood the meaning of the words and said embarrassedly.

"....My mother is doing the exact same thing as my father. Isn't it very loving?"

Gu Qingze didn't know how to respond now. Normally, he should nod or agree out of politeness, but in this situation, how could he...

It was Chu Lingxiao next to him who took over the conversation and said with a smile.

"They are very affectionate. They can actually do the same thing without any prior arrangement. Maybe they do that kind of thing with other monsters because they are thinking about each other's face."

"Thank you for the new idea. Thinking of it this way makes my parents even sweeter."

Song Jinnian thanked him.

"I'm going to check my room first. After all, I haven't been back for a long time. If you think the sound of my father's "work" is too noisy, you can turn on the soundproofing cover. I don't mind."

Song Jinnian thought of something, reminded everyone, and left quickly.

Gu Qingze didn't want to listen to the sound of that kind of thing, so he started making arrangements as soon as Song Jinnian left.

"Ling Xiao, you..."

"I just said that to calm Song Jinnian's unstable emotions."

"Otherwise, if no one responded at that time, the situation would only be more awkward. You don't think I'm sincere, do you? What kind of person do you think I am?"

Chu Lingxiao was really angry this time. Qingze always thought badly of him. Although he later realized that he had been misunderstood and apologized, he still didn't like the feeling of not being trusted.

Gu Qingze was stunned. He didn't want to ask this... He knew Ling Xiao best, especially when it came to this kind of thing...

However, since Ling Xiao was angry, it must be that I had done something before to make Ling Xiao unhappy, but I didn't explain it clearly at the time, and it has been accumulating until now and finally exploded.

"Ling Xiao, I just wanted to ask you if you want to drink the black liquid on the table. If you do, I will test the poison on you in advance to see if it tastes good."

Gu Qingze explained seriously, then moved closer to Chu Lingxiao.

"Ling Xiao, if I did something wrong, you need to tell me in time. As long as you tell me and it's reasonable, I will correct it in time, so please don't be angry, otherwise you will get sick and I will be worried."

Chu Lingxiao had no resistance to his caring and coquettish attitude. He glanced at him and said in a low voice.

"...You don't trust me."

"I don't trust you?"

There was a hint of confusion in Gu Qingze's eyes.

"Just before, on that special octopus-shaped vehicle, you suspected that I wanted to use Song Jinnian and let him risk his life to do things for us. And the time before that, when we were in Qingyun Sect, you..."

Gu Qingze listened as Chu Lingxiao laid out the specific cases one by one in front of him.

He couldn't help but sigh that he was really guilty of a heinous crime. If he hadn't been there in person, he would have believed it.

"I don't distrust Ling Xiao. I just asked that question subconsciously. If Ling Xiao feels uncomfortable, I will find a better way to communicate next time."

Gu Qingze promised seriously and moved closer to Chu Lingxiao. While he was not paying attention, Gu Qingze hugged him and rubbed his head against his arms.

"Don't be angry anymore, okay? If you still feel upset, just beat me up."

Chu Lingxiao looked at Qingze who was looking at him with those affectionate eyes, and couldn't help but touch his head.

"Actually, I was also wrong. I shouldn't have kept it in my heart and sulked alone. I should have communicated with you in time. If you feel wronged, you can also beat me up."

Looking at Chu Lingxiao's sincere look, Gu Qingze couldn't help but chuckle.

"Beat each other up? What's that?"

"....consider it a draw?"

Chu Lingxiao followed his words tacitly, looked at Qingze, and smiled.
