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

"So..." Feng Ying lowered his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and slowly asked, "Does Chu Lingxiao know about these things?"

"Of course I know." Gu Qingze said as if it was a matter of course. "Ling Xiao is my lover, so I naturally tell him everything I know. Secrets between lovers can easily cause estrangement, and I don't want that to happen."

When Feng Ying heard this, he seemed to be hesitant to speak. A complex expression flashed across his eyes, and he couldn't help but sighed, "You really... dote on your wife too much."

"Wife?" Gu Qingze tilted his head slightly, unable to react for a moment.

After a moment, he realized that Feng Ying was referring to Chu Lingxiao. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle: "If Lingxiao were here, he would definitely be unhappy to hear someone call him like that."

Feng Ying also smiled faintly, "It seems that your relationship is very special. So how do you two usually address each other?"

Gu Qingze raised his chin slightly, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes, "Most of the time we call each other by our names, and sometimes we use some nicknames that only the two of us understand."

Hearing this, Feng Ying jokingly said, "Okay, in order not to upset Chu Lingxiao, I won't call you that. Mainly because your brother likes to call me that, I thought there was nothing wrong with it."

Gu Qingze heard this with a smile in his eyes: "Thank you for your cooperation."

He continued with the previous topic, "Actually, when I first learned about this, I was a little shocked. But then I thought about it carefully and it made sense. In fact, because of this, many things that I had previously found unreasonable and confusing now have answers."

"In the first world... I was an orphan without parents. But I was not abandoned. It's just that even the system couldn't find my origins. I... just appeared out of thin air."

"Besides, I grew up in an orphanage. Every time someone came to adopt me, it wasn't that they didn't want to adopt me, but it was as if they couldn't see me at all and treated me like air. Isn't that weird?"

Gu Qingze looked at Feng Ying and said seriously, "Also, Feng Ying, your attitude towards me... is a bit too nice."

"Too good?" Feng Ying recalled, a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Why do I remember that I basically didn't care about your life or death at that time, I just observed you and judged your value like a bystander?"

"That's just an appearance." Gu Qingze explained seriously, "I can feel your concern for me. Whenever I ask you for something, you almost always respond."

"What I want, although the conditions you put forward seem excessive, but if you think about it carefully, they are not excessive."

Feng Ying smiled but said nothing.

Gu Qingze went on to say: "At the time, this was just a point that made me confused. It itself may not represent any substantial meaning."

"But...when I regained those memories, things were completely different. My previous doubts had a new interpretation."

As he was talking, he couldn't help but complain: "Feng Ying, I have to say, my brother is actually a little narrow-minded. In order to prevent me from recognizing other people as my parents, he actually set a rule that no one would adopt me, leaving me with no choice but to fend for myself."

There was helplessness and mockery in his tone. He was both angry and amused by his brother's behavior.

"Your brother...he does do things like this sometimes."

Feng Ying originally wanted to refute, but in the end he couldn't help himself and joined in the complaints.

Feng Ying touched his conscience and felt that he still had to explain: "Your brother's behavior is not entirely due to this reason."

"The situation was turbulent at the time. In order to ensure your safety, he had no choice but to randomly place you in a small world and set you up as an orphan with no one to adopt you. This was also to protect you."

"Because you are an outsider in that world. If you form a family and establish close relationships with people from this world, you will be discovered faster and then fall into danger."

Gu Qingze smiled and said, "So, this is why I have no family or close friends in that world, right?"

Feng Ying was silent for a moment, then nodded: "This is a helpless move. However...it was beyond our expectation that you would go to that small world of Xiuxian."

"No way." Gu Qingze shrugged nonchalantly, "Someone hated me so much that they wrote me as a villain to vent their anger. It was like making dumplings for a plate of vinegar. They wrote a novel specifically and killed me."

"I didn't expect that the novel would form a small world due to some strange coincidences. What I didn't expect was that the person projected too much hatred towards me onto the villain he wrote, and I ended up accidentally jumping into this small world."

Feng Ying asked with some curiosity: "...Do you know why he hates you?"

"Yeah." Gu Qingze smiled indifferently, "I didn't quite understand it before. After all, my brother forced me to have an emotional barrier in order to prevent me from developing deep feelings. This made me basically indifferent to the things around me. But now... I think I understand it now."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "The hatred that comes from jealousy...isn't it interesting?"

"But I don't care about his strange hatred. On the contrary, I should thank him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have met such a good Ling Xiao."

Feng Ying was about to say something when she heard him mention Chu Lingxiao with a sweet look on his face. She immediately felt like she was being force-fed a mouthful of dog food.

After a moment, he spoke: "Even if you recover your memory and know all this, then...how can you know the relationship between me and your brother?"

"It's very simple." Gu Qingze smiled confidently, "My brother is the current Lord God. How could he not know that you rebelled right under his nose? You must have tacitly approved of what he did."

"Add to that your expression and movements when you mentioned the Lord God, and I was able to make a pretty good guess."

Feng Ying nodded: "I did this with your brother's tacit approval. He also doesn't like the current way of maintaining the small world. But he is the current Lord God after all. It's not appropriate to make these changes rashly, so let me test the waters first."

"If he can, he will make drastic changes. If not, he will continue to maintain the current conservative way."

"But..." Feng Ying changed the subject, "He is still very confident in my plan, otherwise he would not agree to let me bring you in. After all, you are his younger brother."

Gu Qingze did not refute, but changed the subject: "Speaking of which, why didn't you tell me everything? There is no need to hide it now. If I hadn't discovered it myself, were you planning to keep it a secret from me?"

"That's what your brother meant." Feng Ying smiled helplessly, "He wants you to start from the bottom and do things down to earth. He's worried that if you knew your identity, you'd become proud and complacent and not want to work anymore."

"Also, he told me to be a little fierce in front of you so that I could control you. He was afraid that you would not listen to me after you knew my identity, and he used my identity to pressure me."

Gu Qingze was a little dissatisfied after hearing this: "How can he look at me like this? I have always been very obedient. You see, even if I knew all this, I never thought of bullying my brother-in-law, right?"

Feng Ying agreed, "Then I'll go back and talk to him. How can he treat his own brother like this?"

"Feng Ying..." Gu Qingze moved closer to Feng Ying, "In fact, I don't think you are fierce at all. Your acting skills weren't that good before. You only fooled me at the beginning, but when I thought about it carefully, there were loopholes everywhere. This shows that Gefu is essentially a gentle person."

Feng Ying felt a little uncomfortable with his sudden approach: "Come to think of it, your brother is so serious, but you have such a personality. I was quite surprised when I first found out."

"That's nothing... Brothers don't necessarily have similar personalities." Gu Qingze recalled, "As far as I can remember, my brother has always had a serious face and is very serious about everything he does. That's why he can become the current Lord God."

"...Feng Ying, why don't you stay here? Ling Xiao will be back soon and will bring back some baked cookies. You can try Ling Xiao's cooking later and we can have a meal together as a family."

Gu Qingze suggested with a smile, his eyes full of expectation. Feng Ying thought about it carefully and saw no reason to refuse, so he agreed.

Not long after, Chu Lingxiao came back. When he saw Feng Ying in the room, there was only a slight flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he looked at Gu Qingze and understood everything in an instant.

He placed the freshly baked cookies on the table and said to Feng Ying with a smile, "Feng Ying, long time no see. Since you are here, try the cookies I made."

"...Also, it's already noon." Chu Lingxiao said with a smile, "Qingze and I will cook a few dishes, let's have lunch together."

After lunch was over, Feng Ying looked at them and said seriously, "We are now in a cooperative relationship. I hope you can work hard to change the current situation and find a way to make the small world run better."

After Feng Ying said this, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao sent him to the door. Feng Ying nodded slightly and his figure gradually disappeared.

Back in the house, Gu Qingze gently held Chu Lingxiao's hand and said with emotion: "Lingxiao, the road ahead may not be easy, but I think... as long as we are together, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Chu Lingxiao smiled gently and responded, "Yes, we will face it together. And with the help of Feng Ying and the others, we will definitely be able to do it."
