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

"It doesn't matter if you can't say it. It won't be too late to tell me later if you really want to."

Seeing that he hadn't continued speaking, Chu Lingxiao interrupted Gu Qingze's question.

"Ling Xiao, I..."

Gu Qingze subconsciously wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.

"If this is hard for you to say, then don't say it. I don't want to embarrass you."

Chu Lingxiao gave him a faint smile, then continued to turn his gaze to the boiling bonfire.

When Gu Qingze saw Chu Lingxiao's gentle expression, he couldn't help but calm down.

He also turned his gaze towards the flame and fell into thought.

Yes, even if I asked Ling Xiao this question, what would it matter?

If he answers that he doesn’t like it, it’s okay, at most it will be a bit awkward to get along with him in the future.

What if he really likes me as Su Ming said, how should I respond?

I don’t even know whether I like Ling Xiao or not. If he really likes me and confesses his feelings to me, should I accept or reject him?

No matter which one you choose, it feels irresponsible.

If I accept his love for him but I don't even know whether I like him or not, it will be unfair to both myself and Ling Xiao.

If I reject the other party, I don’t want to make Ling Xiao sad.

And even if Ling Xiao really likes me, it doesn't necessarily mean that he really likes me. He has just become an adult and has never even left the small Qingyun City. He has not seen the prosperity of the outside world. And I helped him when he was in the most difficult time. Maybe he just mistook gratitude and friendship for love.

I remember that in the original novel, when the hero went out to gain experience, he met many beautiful women of different types. Ling Xiao must be too inexperienced now, so he likes me.

Yes, that must be it.

Fortunately, I didn't ask the question just now, otherwise it would not only destroy the friendship between Ling Xiao and I, but what if Ling Xiao really expressed his feelings, and then I got excited and accepted Ling Xiao's confession, wouldn't that delay Ling Xiao?

Fortunately, fortunately, it was all in time. Now I not only did not ask the questions I just asked, but also sorted out my thoughts, thus preserving the precious friendship between Ling Xiao and me.

"Ling Xiao, you are so nice."

Gu Qingze gave Chu Lingxiao a grateful look, which made Chu Lingxiao confused.

"Ling Xiao."

"Ah."

"Do you have someone you like?"

Gu Qingze couldn't help but ask.

Although he had sorted out his thoughts, he still wanted to know whether Chu Lingxiao really liked him as Su Ming said.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Chu Lingxiao seemed a little surprised and turned his head slightly to look at him.

"Just curious. It must be a very lucky thing to be liked by someone as gentle as Ling Xiao."

Gu Qingze gave a sincere smile.

"really?"

Chu Lingxiao seemed to be infected by Gu Qingze's smile and said happily.

"Oh really."

Gu Qingze seemed to be afraid that Chu Lingxiao would not believe him, so he deliberately spoke in a serious tone.

He really thought so. He didn't like the male protagonist in the original novel, but he liked Ling Xiao in front of him.

In the original novel, the protagonist's wives mostly had relationships with him because of their beauty, and his image is a typical stud type.

But Ling Xiao is different. He has a good personality, is independent, has principles in doing things, treats people sincerely, knows how to care and show concern, and can perceive people's emotions very carefully... If he has a partner in the future, his partner will definitely be very happy.

Seeing Gu Qingze pretending to be serious, Chu Lingxiao seemed amused and spoke in a light tone.

"Then Qingze, you are so lucky, I like you."
