"I know. After all, I'm so powerful. Just now, I simply analyzed the difference between second-grade and fifth-grade potions. I didn't think I couldn't become a fifth-grade alchemist. I'm still confident that I can do it."
Chu Lingxiao now looks full of vigor and energy, and is very much like the male protagonist in a novel.
Gu Qingze thought so, although he knew that this might be due to the influence of the light ball...
From what he heard about the conversation between Chu Lingxiao and the old man, and the cause and effect of the invasion by the ball of light, he also learned that Lingxiao met another Lingxiao in the illusion.
The image of the future male protagonist in the illusion is indeed more consistent with the original novel. He can't figure out whether it is a different timeline or an illusory image constructed in the illusion.
But if it is an imaginary image constructed in the illusion, then it is too similar to the original novel, as if this illusion has read the original novel.
Therefore, he is more inclined to a different timeline, but he just thinks this possibility is greater, and does not think it is the case.
If it really is a different timeline, then apart from the changes caused by him traveling through the book and the subsequent "butterfly effect", everything else should remain unchanged. However, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't imagine Ling Xiao becoming like in the original novel.
It's like they are different people, not only with different personalities, but even with different thoughts, so the different timelines don't make sense.
"Qingze, what are you thinking about? Why are you always distracted? Is there a small drama class in your head, performing dramas all the time?"
Chu Lingxiao said jokingly while poking his face lightly with his fingertips.
"Not really, just... random thoughts."
Gu Qingze looked at Ling Xiao who was very close to him, and couldn't help but hold his cheeks with both hands and rubbed them.
"Qingze... why are you like this? My face doesn't need to be rubbed."
Gu Qingze was amused by Ling Xiao's accent, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a light smile, just like a white orchid.
"But I think it's quite soft, just like a glutinous rice ball, and I want to take a bite of it."
Seeing that he was so happy, Chu Lingxiao stopped struggling and let him rub his face.
Forget it, since you smile so beautifully, I will be magnanimous and forgive your faults. You can be as unrestrained as you want.
Chu Lingxiao kept convincing himself in his mind, and was moved by his own tolerance and magnanimity.
However, Gu Qingze didn't go too far. He rubbed it for a while and then let go.
"Ling Xiao, after we come out of the secret realm, let's go eat glutinous rice balls."
?
Is Qingze's thinking so unconventional?
Although I don’t know why Qingze did that, it’s also possible that he simply wanted to eat.
However, Chu Lingxiao didn't ask any more questions and nodded obediently.
Gu Qingze looked up at the sky. Although it was daytime and the moon was not very visible, he still looked up subconsciously.
He remembered the glutinous rice balls that the director distributed to them when he was still in the orphanage. They were filled with black sesame and were delicious.
I haven’t eaten it for a long time. It just so happens that Ling Xiao is around now. Aren’t tangyuan meant to be eaten with family? Now that he has a family, he must go and eat it once.
Little-known fact: Chu Lingxiao is obsessed with looks, because Gu Qingze is very handsome. So from the very beginning, when Gu Qingze rescued him from the deep pit, he unconsciously had a certain subconscious liking for him, but Chu Lingxiao himself didn't know it.
