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

Gu Qingze half leaned against the wall, like a bystander, quietly watching everything happening around him.

Ling Xiao hasn't been here for a long time...

It seems that the investigation is not going smoothly, difficulties have arisen, and it is stuck on certain issues.

During this period, Brother Jinnian did not come either, probably because he and Su Han had not returned yet.

But there is no need to worry too much about performance. Thanks to the reward from his brother Jinnian last time, he has already ranked first, and is almost qualified to meet the chief courtesan.

As Gu Qingze thought about it, he took a bite and stuffed a peach cake into his mouth and started chewing.

The cookies and desserts in Hualou are indeed more delicious than those bought outside. It would be great if he could get the recipe so that he could make them himself.

Just when he was about to eat the second one, the figure of Jinluo appeared in his sight. He looked at the peach cake in his hand, hesitated for a moment, put it in his mouth, chewed it casually a few times, and swallowed it.

"Sister Tilbury."

Gu Qingze pretended to be very surprised and shouted sweetly.

Chrysanthemum had been missing for the past few days, so it was appropriate for him to pose like this now.

"Sister Linglan, it seems that the previous incident was very intense."

JIULI did not respond to his greeting, but instead fixed her gaze on his neck which was covered with red marks, and her tone sounded a bit weird and sour.

Gu Qingze noticed the focus of her gaze and realized something. His face turned red. It felt like someone else had discovered his treasured secret.

If I had known I would not have let Ling Xiao bite me... After we had sex that night, Ling Xiao half kissed and half bit me, leaving many marks on his poor neck and shoulders.

Even though I applied the ointment...it still takes some time to completely disappear...

There is a way to heal quickly, but he is not a medical practitioner and there is no medical practitioner here, so the red marks have remained until now.

"It's okay."

Gu Qingze wanted to brush it off and move on to the next topic.

After all, this was a private matter between him and Ling Xiao. He didn't want to share or discuss it with others, nor did he have that kind of bad taste.

Obviously, Qinluo also noticed it, so she didn't continue the conversation. She just pursed her lips and still looked unhappy.

"...Sister Linglan, aren't you curious about what I've been doing recently?"

Her tone was tentative.

"I'm curious, but I think if Sister Tilbury wants to tell me, she'll naturally find the right time."

In fact, the main reason is that you are not familiar with each other and your relationship is not very close. Asking this kind of question can easily offend the other person.

Although Gu Qingze thought so in his heart, he still spoke more tactfully.

"So... Sister Jinluo is taking the initiative to mention this now. Do you want to share it with me?"

When Qinluo heard this, she was startled and couldn't help but grab the corner of her clothes. Then she lowered her head. When she raised her head, there was a complex emotion in her eyes, but he couldn't understand it.

"As Sister Linglan said just now, now is not the right time."

When Gu Qingze heard her suddenly cold tone, he was stunned at first, and then smiled indifferently.

"Then I'll wait for Sister Tilbury."

His tone became a little lighter, livening up the atmosphere between the two of them.

In fact, it was because I wasn't familiar with her and I wasn't that curious about the affairs of Chrysanthemum, so I just said a cliché.

"I...have something else to do. I'll leave now."

JIULUO glanced at him, as if afraid that he would ask her some questions that she was unwilling to answer, and then she turned and left.

Gu Qingze was confused by her behavior, but he didn't think too much about it.

Sometimes it is a virtue to respect other people's privacy and not ask questions that they don't want to answer.

Gu Qingze saw her leaving, then put the third piece of peach cake into his mouth and started tasting it.
