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

"Hey, isn't this Qingze? Have you booked a room for him?"

Chu Lingxiao said sarcastically.

?

As soon as Gu Qingze entered the room, he heard his words and looked at him in confusion.

Hadn't he explained everything clearly before he left, and hadn't Ling Xiao's anger almost subsided?

How come in less than five minutes, Ling Xiao became angry again?

And wasn't it Ling Xiao who took the initiative to remind him to open a new room for Ye Li, and then he went?

"I've checked in a room and given the room card to Ye Li. It's next to Brother Jinnian."

"Ye Li's mental state is not right. Just in case, I asked Brother Jinnian for help. Brother Jinnian said he likes Sister Ye Li very much and will take good care of her."

"This way, if Ye Li has some stress reaction or other problems, Brother Jinnian should be able to hear and notice it in time."

Although Gu Qingze didn't understand the reason for his change of mood, since Ling Xiao asked him, he would just answer it seriously.

"Oh, that's quite thoughtful."

After hearing what he said, Chu Lingxiao's tone became even worse.

"It's just basic compassion and responsibility for a life. After all, I bought her at the auction."

Gu Qingze said helplessly, he seemed to understand why Ling Xiao was angry.

"Is Ling Xiao jealous? I remember someone just said he was the most generous person."

Then, his tone turned teasing.

"That's not why I am."

Chu Lingxiao shook his head slightly seriously and said seriously.

"I thought that given Qingze's personality, we would definitely be responsible for her if we bid for her. If she recovers, that's fine, but what if she never recovers? Are we going to let her follow us all the time?"

"...No, after we find the "Three-Life Flower" and leave the demon world, if she still can't recover, I will send her to the Gu family."

"Anyway, the Gu family has adopted many homeless orphans, so they probably won't reject her."

"After she recovers a little, let the Gu family's housekeeper find her a job, so she can earn money to support herself with her own hands. This way, even if she can't recover her memory in her lifetime, it won't be a problem."

Gu Qingze was silent for a moment, raised his head, and told his plan, which was obviously a plan he had carefully considered.

When Chu Lingxiao heard this, he didn't look very happy. He just sighed and said.

"...I hope so."

After Gu Qingze noticed his abnormal mood, he asked cautiously.

"Does Ling Xiao still have any concerns?"

Chu Lingxiao hesitated to speak, and after a moment's silence, he slowly spoke.

"Qingze, have you ever heard of slaves?"

"Does it mean...human slaves?"

Gu Qingze understood the words literally.

"Not really, but not much better either. To be more precise, it's a toy that satisfies your desires and obeys you in everything. Well... I guess that's about right."

As he spoke, Chu Lingxiao seemed to be trapped in some very bad memories.

"...My father once bought one out of boredom. I don't know how he bought it, but he must have been brainwashed like Ye Li. He only has eyes for the buyer, that is, the owner."

"Who doesn't like a person who only has eyes for you and will satisfy all your unreasonable requests? Even my father's lovers and concubines didn't approach him with such innocent thoughts. At this time, a person who can only rely on you makes my father feel very novel."

"So, he ignored other women during that time and only doted on her. But people get tired of playing one day, especially people like my father. He stopped looking for her afterwards. Although he didn't abandon her or get rid of her directly, he didn't treat her as well as before."

"Then, that woman committed suicide within two months... It's funny to say that I found her body when I was a kid exploring her house and accidentally walked in. At that time, the body was already in a mess, eaten by rats, wild dogs and cats..."

Chu Lingxiao stopped talking, but Gu Qingze could imagine how strong an impact this scene had on the young Lingxiao at that time.

"So, although you only explained a few words about Ye Li, I understood it, but I don't want her to interfere with our normal life.... Do you think I am... a little selfish when I say this?"

Chu Lingxiao raised his head and asked cautiously, the uneasiness in his eyes seemed to be overflowing, as if he was afraid of seeing Qingze's disgusted eyes.

Gu Qingze felt distressed when he saw him like this, so he went forward and hugged him, patting his back gently to comfort him.

"How could that be? Ling Xiao has done a good job... So, is Ling Xiao afraid that after Ye Li leaves me, she will commit suicide like that woman?"

"Isn't it? Slaves are very dependent on their masters. It's okay to leave for a short period of time, such as sleeping together alone like now, but if it's for a long time..."

"Don't worry, that won't happen. Their situations are different."

"Also, do you know what I found when I went to Song Jinnian's room just now? The two of them were actually chatting, and it seemed like they were having a good chat. I think she relies more on brother Jinnian than on me, her nominal 'master', so there's no problem."

Chu Lingxiao was obviously very happy when he heard the news, but he still pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Why? Do you hope she will rely on you more?"

"Of course not. Why are you wrongly accusing me again, Lord Chu? My heart is very small and can only accommodate you."

Gu Qingze knew that his emotions had calmed down, so he started joking to adjust the atmosphere and also brought out the cheesy love words that he had kept in the bottom of his box.

"Slippery tongue." Chu Lingxiao said with a smile, "But you are right, maybe I am overthinking it."

Gu Qingze smiled and hugged Chu Lingxiao tightly, whispering in his ear: "Don't think too much, everything will turn out well."

Chu Lingxiao nodded and responded to Gu Qingze's hug.
