"I can't put my finger on what it is, but I just have a feeling that this isn't normal."
After Chu Lingxiao expressed his thoughts, he looked at Gu Qingze again and said guiltily.
"Qingze encountered so many accidents in this secret realm. It must be because he was by my side. I might be some kind of 'body of bad luck'. Then you were too close to me and got infected with some of my bad luck, becoming as unlucky as me."
Gu Qingze touched his head and couldn't help but pat it gently.
"Qingze, what are you doing? You hit me so hard that I'm going to blame you for the rest of my life!"
Chu Lingxiao pretended to be fierce and said.
"Don't be like this. I will take responsibility for you too. I patted your head to see what was inside you. Why do you like to imagine so much? Just because these two experiences are similar, you take the blame on yourself. You are too... kind."
Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Chu Lingxiao started to smile foolishly.
"What's wrong? You didn't really get slapped silly by me, did you?"
Gu Qingze tilted his head in confusion. He had just slapped it with minimal force, just like a feather brushing against his head. There shouldn't be any problem, right?
"You're the one who's been taken aback! Qingze, you just said you'd be responsible for me, so you can never leave me from now on."
"So... this is what you care about. I thought... I made it very clear in my previous actions."
Gu Qingze smiled helplessly.
"I know, but you haven't said this formally before, so I'll feel more at ease after hearing it."
Chu Lingxiao looked at him seriously, then thought of something and said angrily.
"In the storybooks I read as a child, they all said that after a man and a woman have experienced 'love', the man would tell the woman, 'I will be responsible for you for the rest of my life.' Even though we are both men, we are also lovers. So that night in the dreamland, I kept waiting for you to say these words, but you just didn't."
"So Ling Xiao actually thinks so. However, the storybooks I've read are slightly different from yours. They all describe men who were drugged and had sex with someone while unconscious. After waking up, they embarrassedly said, 'I will be responsible for you.' So I always thought that statement was quite 'bad-ass' and kept it to myself."
Chu Lingxiao knew the word "scumbag". Qingze had told him that it refers to a man who is not serious about relationships and is irresponsible.
"is that so?"
Chu Lingxiao was a little confused. He didn't know what love really was like. Everything he knew about it came from books.
"Yes, if a person likes another person, he should not only look at what he says, but also observe his actions."
Gu Qingze looked at his confused expression and couldn't help but stroke his upturned hair.
"If Ling Xiao wants to hear sweet words, I can tell you all the time, and every word is different, but I don't like that. Sweet words can be a spice of emotion, but they shouldn't be the whole thing. If someone says sweet words to you but never takes any real action, then that person is not worth it."
"So if someone treats you well with both words and actions, does that count as finding a treasure?"
Before Gu Qingze understood the meaning of Ling Xiao's words, he looked at Ling Xiao with a shy and blushing face, pointing at himself, and said seriously.
"So, you must cherish this "treasure" of mine."
