Gu Qingze watched Chu Lingxiao wrap himself up in the quilt like a ball and then lay motionless.
He shook his head helplessly and gently pulled Ling Xiao out of the quilt with his hands.
"So… now you can undress? I just want to see if you're injured, absolutely nothing else."
Gu Qingze raised his arms and made a gesture of "surrender".
Chu Lingxiao hesitated for a moment. He had crawled into the quilt just now, not only because he was shy, but also because he didn't want Qingze to see his scars.
He knew how scary the scars on his body were, and he also knew how smart Qingze was. He would definitely guess what he had been through.
He didn't want to make Qingze worry, nor did he want him to see his vulnerability and embarrassment.
He originally thought he could fool people, but Qingze still noticed something was wrong with him.
Gu Qingze saw the hesitation in his eyes, gently held Chu Lingxiao's hand, and gave him an encouraging look.
Chu Lingxiao felt Qingze's care and warmth, and his heart softened, almost bursting into tears. The scars on his body hadn't hurt that much before, so why did they hurt so much now?
He didn't want Qingze to see his tears, nor did he want him to hear his crying. He lowered his head, trying to hide himself.
But Gu Qingze didn't let him go. He gently lifted Chu Lingxiao's chin and made him look up at him. His eyes were full of tenderness and determination, making Chu Lingxiao unable to escape.
Chu Lingxiao could only open his eyes helplessly and look at Qingze's face. He saw that there was a slight curve at the corner of Qingze's mouth, which made him look even more handsome.
He wanted to smile, but found that the corners of his mouth were unconsciously rising.
Gu Qingze seemed to notice the change in Chu Lingxiao. He also smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Chu Lingxiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
He knew that he had no way to refuse Qingze's kindness, and he also knew that he had no way to hide his scars.
So he slowly reached out and unbuttoned his collar.
He felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster, and his breathing became more and more rapid. He didn't dare to open his eyes, so he could only close his eyes and grope with his hands, taking off his clothes bit by bit.
Too much...
Gu Qingze watched him undress and felt his throat dry. Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable impulse.
He was startled by his own thought and quickly put it out of his mind.
When Chu Lingxiao finally took off his clothes, he felt a chill.
He didn't know whether it was because the temperature in the room was too low or because Qingze's eyes were too gentle.
He only knew that his body was exposed in front of Qingze, which made him feel extremely shy and embarrassed.
He didn't know what Gu Qingze would think of his scars, so he could only wait silently for him to speak.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingze just showed a look of heartache and gently stroked the scabbed scar with his fingertips.
"When did these injuries occur?"
Gu Qingze asked softly.
"During my training, I often feel like I'm the chosen one. I don't know why, but I always seem to run into all kinds of troubles. Even if I try to avoid them, I'll still be entangled in unexpected situations."
In order to ease the current atmosphere, Chu Lingxiao spoke in a tone as relaxed as possible.
