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

After Chu Lingxiao confirmed the question that concerned him the most, he finally had the mind to ask other questions that curious him.

"By the way, brother Jinnian, although I have always called you brother, I still don't know how old you are exactly."

"Then how old do you think I am, Brother Lingxiao?" Song Jinnian kept the topic in suspense.

“If you just look at his appearance, Brother Jinnian looks like he’s only about sixteen or seventeen years old, right?” Chu Lingxiao said cooperatively.

"No, no, guess again." Song Jinnian shook his head.

"Eighteen or nineteen years old?"

"Still wrong."

"Twenty, twenty-one? Could it be even older?"

"No, keep guessing."

"Twenty-five or twenty-six?"

"Hmm...Brother Lingxiao, please guess again."

Song Jinnian seemed to treat this as a game and had a lot of fun.

............................................

Finally, seeing that Chu Lingxiao no longer cooperated, he seemed to have had enough fun and said.

"...Actually, I'm over 200 years old. I don't remember exactly how old I am. After all, I haven't celebrated my birthday for a long time."

After Song Jinnian finished speaking, he immediately felt two surprised gazes.

"Brother Jinnian... Oh no, it should be Brother Jinnian now. It turns out that we have been taking advantage of you."

No...that's not right. To be precise, you are the one who has been acting younger than you, calling someone younger than you "brother" or something like that.

Gu Qingze complained silently in his heart.

"So, should we start calling you brother now?"

Chu Lingxiao focused his attention on another issue.

"No need, brothers, just call me as you did before."

Song Jinnian waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary.

"Actually, according to the human age conversion, I am only fifteen years old, so I should call you brother."

"Besides the exchange rate between money and the demon race, can age also be converted?"

Gu Qingze was shocked when he heard about this for the first time.

"What's wrong with that? The demon race is different from the human race."

Song Jinnian said seriously, "Moreover, I have spent most of the past two hundred years in the shell and have no consciousness at all."

In the shell?

Gu Qingze captured the key information. What kind of monster is Song Jinnian?

He was in a shell when he was born, and by observing his mother, nothing could be seen, after all, his mother was also in human form.

"By the way, Brother Jinnian, what kind of monster are you? I've always been curious." Chu Lingxiao asked.

Huh? Why did Ling Xiao become so brave at this time? He actually asked directly.

Gu Qingze looked at Chu Lingxiao with admiration.

"Um... Sorry, I can't tell you that. Our family is special, and this is the rule."

Song Jinnian hesitated for a moment, looking embarrassed.

"It's okay, brother Jinnian, don't blame yourself. We don't really need to know. We just want to know more about our friend."

Chu Lingxiao said when he saw him like this.

Just then, Song Ya came out of a nearby shop with a pile of clothes.

"Well... Xiaoze, take a look at these clothes and see if you like them."

She paused, thought for a while about how to address Gu Qingze, and finally said.

When Gu Qingze heard the name "Xiao Ze", he was stunned at first, then he realized that he was being called.

He did not forget Song Jinnian's instructions, and smiled without finding any fault with the clothes, then looked through them carefully.

Then, he spoke in a very light and gentle tone.

"Sister Ya has great taste! Everything she picked is so beautiful. I like Sister Ya the most!"

Song Ya looked at his sincere expression and felt a sense of accomplishment.

"As long as you like it, I'll pick one for you next time."

"Yeah." Gu Qingze nodded heavily, showing a very expectant expression.

In fact, he just exaggerated the praise a little bit. The clothes Song Ya picked were indeed very good.

Song Ya had obviously paid the money. She handed the clothes to Gu Qingze, who carefully put them into the storage bag.

Song Ya naturally noticed his action, and she admired him even more in her heart. She decided to dress Gu Qingze up beautifully.

"Niannian, what should we do next?" Song Ya looked at Song Jinnian with a very motivated look.

"Since we are choosing clothes, now that we have the clothes, we should also buy some suitable accessories." Song Jinnian said after thinking for a moment.

"In that case, let's go home." Song Ya said suddenly.

"Huh?" Song Jinnian didn't understand what she meant.

"Although I can't lend clothes to Xiaoze, I can still lend him accessories. The accessories out there are too cheap. I have a variety of better and more exquisite styles."

"Sister Ya, actually I..." Gu Qingze was flattered when he heard Song Ya's words and declined.

"Xiao Ze, I really like you, can you please fulfill my little wish?"

"A small wish?" Gu Qingze looked at her puzzledly.

"Well, actually I've always wanted a daughter so I can dress her up as I like. I didn't expect Nian Nian to be a boy."

After hearing this, Song Jinnian said with dissatisfaction.

"Even if I'm not a girl, my mother dressed me up when I was a child."

He remembered that when he was a child, he spent a lot of time with his mother. His mother would improvise on her own, braiding his hair and dressing him in girls' clothes, just like she wanted to play a game of dressing up a doll.

When Gu Qingze heard Song Ya's words, he looked uneasy and quickly took the opportunity to explain.

"Well...Sister Ya, I'm a man."

"I know, but Xiaoze looks like a girl."

Song Ya teased, "And I heard Nian Nian say just now that your original face is even more beautiful than the one created by the Huayan Pill."

After hearing this, Gu Qingze looked at Song Jinnian, but saw that Song Jinnian avoided his gaze with a guilty look on his face.

So, when he and Ling Xiao were carefully choosing clothes, you and your mother were talking about this?

He was a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only follow Song Ya's words and tease himself.

"Sister Ya, you are not the first one to say this to me. It seems that I am indeed..."

Before he could finish, Song Ya came forward to ask gossip.

"Not the first one? Who else has said that?"

"Well, what is far away in the horizon is yet close at hand. My brother Jinnian said this not long ago." Gu Qingze smiled.

"Sister Ya, let's go home quickly. I really want to see how beautiful those accessories are."

Chu Lingxiao realized in time that Gu Qingze didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and considerately diverted Song Ya's attention.

Gu Qingze felt a warm current in his heart when he heard his words that sounded like "good reading".

He knew clearly the reason why Ling Xiao said this, and Ling Xiao said this entirely for him.

What should I do...I seem to love Ling Xiao even more.

As Gu Qingze thought about this, the smile on his face became a little more genuine.

"Yes, I am also looking forward to Sister Ya's jewelry. Sister Ya has such a good eye, and the jewelry she collects must be incomparably exquisite. It's a good opportunity for me to broaden my horizons."

"Of course. I guarantee that once you've seen it, you'll be deeply impressed."

Song Ya mentioned this with pride.
