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

Chu Lingxiao is very well behaved when he sleeps, and his sleeping posture is also very good. His posture before going to bed will basically not change after he falls asleep.

Sometimes when it was late at night and Gu Qingze couldn't fall asleep, he would quietly observe Ling Xiao's sleeping appearance.

Chu Lingxiao's long eyelashes were like an exquisite feather fan, casting a faint shadow on his face.

His eyelashes fluttered slightly in rhythm with his breathing, and his lips pursed slightly in sleep....

However, such observation is not without risk, and there is also the danger of being caught.

Once, Gu Qingze was troubled by insomnia again, and as usual, he observed quietly.

Perhaps it was because his gaze was too intense, Chu Lingxiao could hardly stand being stared at.

He stopped pretending to sleep and opened his eyes slightly, with a hint of laziness in his eyes, and asked softly: "Qingze, have you seen enough?"

Gu Qingze smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Ling Xiao, you didn't sleep?"

Chu Lingxiao reached out and gently held Gu Qingze's hand. The warm touch was instantly transmitted. He said gently: "Well, let's sleep together now."

Gu Qingze nodded, slowly lay down beside Chu Lingxiao, and held him tightly in his arms.

Before going to sleep, Chu Lingxiao suddenly asked jokingly, "Qingze, you look at me, is it because you think I'm pretty, but you're embarrassed to look at me more normally, so you want to take a few more glances while I'm sleeping?"

Although his tone was obviously joking, Gu Qingze seriously acknowledged it: "Well, Ling Xiao is very good-looking, so I can't help but want to take a few more glances."

Chu Lingxiao blushed slightly: "Are you serious?"

"Yes, it's absolutely true." Gu Qingze assured with a smile, "If I lied, I would use Ling Xiao's last name."

"What kind of guarantee is that?" Although Chu Lingxiao complained like this, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth clearly showed his inner joy.

Gu Qingze rubbed his head and said lovingly, "Go to bed, it's getting late."

In fact, Gu Qingze likes to stare at Ling Xiao and observe his every move. The reason is very simple.

Just because Ling Xiao is his lover, just because looking at him, he feels a magical sense of security.

That kind of peace of mind was like finding a quiet harbor in the bustling world, allowing him to let go of all his fatigue and defenses.

However, he was not lying, after all, he really thought Ling Xiao was good-looking.

If he didn't smile and just stood there quietly, he would have an aura that no one should approach him. He was handsome but also a bit sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath, emitting a cold light.

However, he seldom saw Ling Xiao like that, because as soon as he was around Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao would become soft and start to act like a spoiled brat, just like a little child, which was very cute.

He likes Ling Xiao like this, and likes every aspect of him, whether he is handsome, gentle, or cute. In his heart, he is a unique existence.

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

Recently, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao went out for walks and fun together.

Just as they passed by a university, Chu Lingxiao stopped involuntarily, his eyes full of curiosity, looking around at this campus full of youthful atmosphere.

"Lingxiao, do you want to experience school life?" Gu Qingze keenly observed Chu Lingxiao's actions and asked softly.

"If you want to experience it, I will apply to Feng Ying when we go to the next small world."

Chu Lingxiao turned around and looked at Gu Qingze with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Are the times at school good?"

Gu Qingze fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a moment, he said, "How should I put it? You need to experience it yourself. Everyone has different perceptions and experiences."

While they were talking, Chu Lingxiao was suddenly approached by a girl.

Judging from the girl’s dress and temperament, she should be a student at this university.

The girl blushed, with shyness in her eyes, and said softly to Chu Lingxiao: "Classmate... Which department are you from? Why haven't I seen you before... Um, can you add your contact information?"

Chu Lingxiao was slightly stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Before he could say anything, he felt a burning gaze on him.

He turned around and saw Gu Qingze looking at him with a half-smile, as if saying, "Let's see what you can do."

Chu Lingxiao coughed lightly, trying to stay calm, and said to the girl politely: "Sorry, I don't have a cell phone."

The girl was obviously a little disappointed. She knew in her heart that Chu Lingxiao was rejecting her, but she still smiled, nodded, turned and left.

After the girl walked away, Gu Qingze couldn't help laughing anymore.

Chu Lingxiao looked at him helplessly and said, "Is it funny?"

Gu Qingze stopped laughing, walked over to Chu Lingxiao, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Lingxiao, your reaction just now was so cute. You don't have a cell phone... What kind of a ridiculous excuse is this? It's a different era now, and almost everyone has a cell phone."

Chu Lingxiao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Then what do you want me to say? Should I tell her that I have someone and you are my partner?"

Gu Qingze thought for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "...Then tell her that you don't have a cell phone."

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

Chu Lingxiao often felt that sometimes Gu Qingze really was like a kitten, referring specifically to some of his behaviors in daily life.

Take the small matter of Gu Qingze drinking coffee for example.

Whenever he picked up the coffee cup, he would always carefully stick out his tongue and lick it gently, as if he was exploring an unknown and mysterious area.

As expected, the bitterness of coffee would always spread on his taste buds instantly, and then he would be overwhelmed by the strong bitter taste.

When he feels bitter, his brows will slightly frown, and he looks just like a kitten offended by a smell he doesn't like.

Then, he would gently put down the coffee cup and look at Chu Lingxiao quietly.

At this moment, there was a trace of grievance that was difficult to conceal in his eyes, as if silently saying: "Why is this coffee so bitter?"

Then he would take out some sugar cubes, put them into the coffee very carefully, and then stir them gently with a spoon.

The sugar cube slowly melted in the coffee, and his eyes gradually brightened with the sweetness.

After stirring it evenly, he stuck out his tongue again and licked it gently, confirming that the bitterness had been neutralized a lot. Then he smiled with satisfaction and began to drink it in big gulps.

Sometimes, Gu Qingze would act like a kitten when thinking about a problem.

He would narrow his eyes slightly, gently support his chin with one hand, and unconsciously tap the table with the other hand.

If he encounters a difficult problem, he will gently bite his lips, which makes him look both serious and cute.

When Gu Qingze thinks of a solution, his eyes suddenly light up and a happy smile appears on his face.

For example, when Gu Qingze is tired, he will find a comfortable corner to curl up.

He might lean against a corner of the couch, legs slightly bent, arms wrapped around himself.

It looked like a lazy kitten looking for a warm place to live.

He would close his eyes and rest quietly for a while, his breathing steady and gentle, as if the whole world had quieted down.

Sometimes, Gu Qingze is full of curiosity about new things.

When he sees a small ornament he has never seen before, he can't wait to get closer, open his eyes wide, and observe it carefully.

That focused look is like a kitten exploring a mysterious new territory.

He would reach out his finger and touch it lightly, then tilt his head thoughtfully, as if thinking about the purpose and origin of this thing.

When Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were walking together, he would occasionally stop suddenly and be attracted by things on the roadside, such as a small flower or a butterfly.

He would look at those little beauties intently, with a hint of joy in his eyes, just like a kitten who had discovered an interesting little toy.

Especially Gu Qingze's appearance, which is somewhat cat-like, like a ragdoll cat, and has a very delicate look.

His eyes are bright and lively, his nose is high and delicate, and his lips are rosy. He looks very kissable at first glance, making people want to kiss him.

His hair was soft and smooth, slightly curly, like a kitten's hair, making one want to touch it.

When he shook his head gently, his hair would flutter like a cat's tail swaying in the breeze. His skin was white and delicate, as smooth as fine porcelain.

However, sometimes, Gu Qingze is quite like a puppy.

For example, when Chu Lingxiao was feeling a little down, Gu Qingze would silently stay by his side, looking at him with gentle eyes.

That look was like a loyal puppy comforting its master. He would gently rub Chu Lingxiao's shoulders, trying to convey his care and love.

Moreover, Gu Qingze is full of love for food like a puppy. When he smells the aroma of delicious food, he will involuntarily move closer with his eyes shining.

So, although Chu Lingxiao has neither a cat nor a dog, he has already lived a life with both a cat and a dog.

After Gu Qingze learned of his thoughts, he nodded in agreement: "In fact, I also sometimes feel that Ling Xiao is quite like a puppy, like... now when I share my thoughts."

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

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao prepared to make a dessert together.

They stood side by side in the cozy kitchen, the counter in front of them filled with a variety of ingredients and tools, the colorful ingredients and exquisite tools complementing each other.

Gu Qingze gently picked up a dessert cookbook and carefully studied the steps word by word.

"Ling Xiao, let's mix the flour and sugar first." Gu Qingze said gently.

Chu Lingxiao nodded obediently and immediately helped. He carefully poured the flour into the bowl, as if he was treating a precious work of art, afraid to spill even a little bit.

Gu Qingze slowly added the sugar in, stirring gently.

"Next, we need to add the eggs." Gu Qingze said softly, picked up a round egg and tapped it gently on the edge of the bowl.

The eggshell made a slight crisp sound, and then the egg flowed smoothly into the bowl, and the smooth movement seemed to have been rehearsed countless times.

While making the dessert, their hands often touched each other.

Every touch was like a magical electricity flowing between the two of them, making their hearts surge with warmth.

The warm feeling spread from the fingertips to the whole body, making them immersed in this sweet atmosphere and unable to extricate themselves.

Chu Lingxiao accidentally got flour on his face, and the white flour dotted his cheeks like snowflakes.

After seeing this, Gu Qingze couldn't help but chuckle. Then, he gently used his fingers to wipe the flour off Chu Lingxiao's face.

When the dessert was put into the oven, they sat together on the kitchen chair and waited quietly for the results.

Gu Qingze held Chu Lingxiao's hand tightly and said softly, "I wonder if the dessert I made this time will be delicious."

Chu Lingxiao smiled and replied: "It must be delicious, because we made it together, and it is mixed with love."

With the "ding" sound of the oven, they couldn't wait to open the oven door.

A sweet scent wafted over my face, and the rich fragrance instantly filled the entire kitchen like magic.

They looked at the golden and tempting dessert, their hearts filled with joy.

Gu Qingze picked up a piece and put it to Chu Lingxiao's mouth, "Try it."

Chu Lingxiao took a bite, and the sweet taste spread in his mouth. The wonderful taste made his eyes sparkle, "Well, not bad."

Gu Qingze also tasted it and nodded with satisfaction: "It's really good this time."

Chu Lingxiao looked at him with a hint of worry in his eyes: "Tomorrow we will have a cooking competition with Grandma Li. Grandma Li is best at making desserts. Qingze, do you think we... can beat Grandma Li?"

Gu Qingze hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "...It's very risky."

"However, although it's called a cooking competition, I don't think winning or losing is that important. What's more important is... the process of learning and communication."

Chu Lingxiao laughed and teased when he heard this: "Qingze, we haven't even competed yet, why are you already making excuses for yourself by saying you're a loser?"

"I'm not making excuses." Gu Qingze said seriously, "After all, there is no fixed standard for food. Everyone's taste is different, so it's hard to say which one is better than the other."

"Well, what Qingze said makes sense." Chu Lingxiao nodded, "We are going there to learn and exchange experiences."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he added, "By the way... I can also taste Grandma Li's cooking skills. I believe tomorrow will be a very rewarding day."

"Of course I will." Gu Qingze agreed with a smile.
