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

After that, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao returned to their room, sat side by side, and talked for a long time.

They shared their experiences over the years, whether happy or sad, they told each other without reservation and became each other's most patient listeners.

As if they had some kind of tacit understanding, when they talked about some hardships and difficulties, they would always deliberately downplay them and pass them by, not wanting to make the other person worry about them.

As the conversation deepened, the subtle and slightly unfamiliar atmosphere caused by not seeing each other for a long time gradually dissipated between the two people....

That night, when Chu Lingxiao and Gu Qingze slept on the same bed for the first time in a long time, he felt an unprecedented sense of security.

He was sure that this was the best rest he had in a long time. Without the tension and vigilance of the past, he was finally able to completely relax.

.........

When Gu Qingze woke up the next morning, he found Chu Lingxiao still sleeping. At that moment, he inexplicably felt a sense of trance and unreality in his heart.

He couldn't help but stretch out his fingertips and gently touch Chu Lingxiao's hair, feeling the slight itchy sensation coming from his fingertips. Only then did he become sure that all this was real, and he was neither dreaming nor imagining it.

He couldn't bear to disturb Ling Xiao's rest, so he got up carefully, trying not to make any noise. Fortunately, Ling Xiao slept on the inside of the bed, which made it easier for him to leave without disturbing Ling Xiao too much.

He walked out of the room quietly, making sure not to disturb Chu Lingxiao who was still sleeping, before answering Feng Ying's video call request.

After passing through, Feng Ying's image was immediately projected in front of Gu Qingze. Feng Ying looked at him curiously, as if trying to catch some information from his expression.

"Feng Ying, what's the matter with you looking for me so early?" Gu Qingze asked puzzledly.

If Feng Ying hadn't disturbed him, even if he woke up first, he would not leave the room, but would choose to be affectionate with Chu Lingxiao for a while longer.

"It's actually nothing serious," Feng Ying said, but there was a seriousness in his tone that could not be ignored, "I just came to remind you that time is running out. You must leave this world within fifty years."

Gu Qingze's mood became a little complicated. He frowned and asked, "Is it so urgent?"

Feng Ying sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said, "I have tried my best to buy time for you."

"But the way of heaven in this world is gradually becoming stable as Chu Lingxiao completes more and more plots."

"Although Chu Lingxiao has not yet completed all the plots, my system shielding is becoming increasingly weak against it."

He paused, and his tone became more serious: "If you cannot leave this world within the time limit I estimate, the Heavenly Dao will be fully aware of the existence of an outsider like you. By then, you will be ready to face the full force of the Heavenly Dao to kill you."

Feng Ying paused for a moment, his eyes revealing a bit of worry, and reminded again: "In fact, for safety reasons, the sooner you leave this world, the better. Don't really wait until the deadline I set to leave, after all, plans can never keep up with changes."

"Just like last time, I expected Chu Lingxiao to wait until the next day to go to Qiying Peak, but he went there early. So, you'd better say goodbye to everything you think is worth staying in this world as soon as possible before the deadline."

Hearing this, Gu Qingze nodded gratefully: "Feng Ying, thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention to it."

"It's nothing, just mentioned it casually." Feng Ying responded easily.

But then his eyes became serious again, and he looked at Gu Qingze again and said jokingly:

"How is it? Am I considerate? I even specially gave you a day to have a good discussion, and only reminded you about this the next day."

Gu Qingze smiled and nodded, responding: "Thoughtful, really thoughtful. But...in fact, there is no need to go through so much trouble to remind you, sending a message will also be fine, after all, there is not much to remind you about."

"That won't do." Feng Ying shook his head seriously. "What if you didn't see the message I sent in time, or missed it for some reason, causing you to not know this important information and miss the best time to leave? That would be even worse. I don't want to see you suffer misfortune because of this."

"So, it's better to talk face to face via video call. This way, you can ask any questions you don't understand right away, and I can explain them to you promptly."

“Moreover, video calls are less likely to be missed than messages, and can ensure that information is accurately conveyed.”

After hearing this, Gu Qingze felt that Feng Ying's words made sense. He seemed to have suddenly thought of something and explained:

"Feng Ying, I was worried that I might miss your message, so I've already added you to my special attention list. When you send me a message, the reminder sound effects are all different."

"Is this true?" Feng Ying had an expression of disbelief on her face. "Then why didn't you reply to the message I sent you last time? I thought you didn't see it."

When Gu Qingze heard this, a trace of guilt flashed across his face.

He couldn't tell Feng Ying that after seeing the message, he was so anxious to see Chu Lingxiao that he hurried to Qingyun Sect and forgot to reply to the message, right?

Not to mention that after meeting Ling Xiao, he had already forgotten everything else.

Seeing him like this, Feng Ying smiled helplessly: "Forget it, I was just teasing you just now. It doesn't matter if you don't want to answer."

"Really?" Gu Qingze breathed a sigh of relief and asked tentatively, "Then I really won't answer?"

Feng Ying nodded: "You don't need to answer, your expression says it all."

"But I understand you. It's always like this between lovers. Another colleague of mine is even worse than you in this regard."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

Feng Ying seemed to be busy with something. After he finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone unilaterally, and Feng Ying's projection also disappeared.

Gu Qingze tiptoed back to the room, and seeing that Chu Lingxiao was still immersed in his dream, he quietly lay back on the bed.

At this moment, he was not sleepy at all, so he opened his eyes and quietly observed Chu Lingxiao while he was sleeping.

Chu Lingxiao's eyebrows were gently stretched in his sleep, as elegant as distant mountains, adding a bit of heroism to his face. His long eyelashes cast thick shadows under his eyelids, trembling slightly with his even breathing.

His lips were slightly closed, with beautiful lines, making people want to touch them lightly. Gu Qingze thought to himself that it felt really good to kiss him, and he was intoxicated every time.

In his sleep, Chu Lingxiao's mouth occasionally turned up, revealing a faint smile, as if he had encountered something that made him happy in his dream. This smile made Gu Qingze feel extremely warm, as if it could dispel all his worries and sorrows.

His hair seemed particularly soft in his sleep, scattered on the pillow, some gently resting on his forehead, some falling beside his cheeks, adding a touch of softness to him.

Gu Qingze just stared at it quietly for a long time, until he came to his senses and couldn't help but smile.
