If I were to ask them one by one...it would be very troublesome.
You definitely can’t just go up and ask “Can you remember what happened before you entered the brothel?” or “Why did you come to the brothel?” That would be too obvious.
And according to common sense, it is difficult for complete strangers to be honest with each other, and not many people will cooperate...
You should try to get familiar with each other for a while first, at least not be completely unfamiliar with each other like you are now, and then bring up the topic inadvertently.
But it is still very troublesome to do so. He is not a "social expert", and talking to complete strangers, chatting dryly, and finding topics awkwardly...it is embarrassing just to think about it.
And it would take at least a month to become ordinary friends...it doesn't seem like enough time.
Just as Gu Qingze was scratching his hair in annoyance, Chenluo patted his shoulder.
"Is Sister Linglan worried about something?"
"Thoughts?" Gu Qingze then realized that he had been too obvious, and he smiled feigning embarrassment.
"Hmm... sort of. I don't know how to start a conversation with the sisters. After all, only by finding a topic will it be easier to become friends."
"Oh?" Chiluo put her knuckles against her chin, pursed her lips, and then said slowly, "Maybe I can help Sister Linglan."
Gu Qingze heard this and looked at her. Suddenly, he remembered that according to Jinluo's description, she should have stayed in this brothel for many years.
Even if the courtesans in the brothel weren't her friends, they were at least familiar with her. It would be a more appropriate choice to let her be the "connector" between them, and it would also make things much easier.
If you think about it even more... you can just find a suitable reason and ask Chunluo to help negotiate and inquire. You don't have to do it yourself, it will be more efficient, and you can save time getting along with other courtesans.
Gu Qingze thought this and half-bent his knees, bringing himself and Chin Luo to eye level, appearing more approachable. He smiled, a smile that was more genuine than before, devoid of any gloom.
"Sister Jinluo, do you have any good ideas?"
JIULUO was a little flustered by his sudden approach, and his incredibly handsome face occupied her entire sight. Her breathing paused, as if time around her had stopped, and even her face was flushed.
She froze in place, her eyes evasive. "Ahem, it's not a special method. I'm just quite familiar with the sisters in the brothel. Maybe I can..."
"Really? Thank you so much, Sister Jinluo. I knew Jinluo was the best~"
Before Chenluo could finish her words, Gu Qingze grabbed her wrist and shook it gently, his tone soft, as if he was unconsciously acting coquettishly... at least that's how it looked in Chenluo's eyes.
"Well, I'll take you to some of my more familiar friends first."
Jinluo looked at Gu Qingze with stars in his eyes and smiled helplessly. As she spoke, she was ready to take the opportunity to hold his hand.
However, just before she was about to hold his hand, Gu Qingze's hand retracted seemingly inadvertently.
JIULUO was a little disappointed because she didn't succeed, but she still smiled and cheered herself up, speaking in a tone as cheerful as possible.
"Sister Linglan, let's go."
Gu Qingze had long expected her to say this. He half-covered his face with his long sleeves, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked timid.
"Sister Tiloo, I... although I really want to be friends with everyone, but... it's still too difficult."
"What do you mean?" Chenluo was a little confused for a moment.
"That's right...that's right...I know it's a bit harsh to say this, but could Sister Tillandsia help me find some topics to talk about with them, and then I can talk to them myself."
Gu Qingze lowered the sleeves that covered his face, half-pursed his lips, and looked as if he didn't dare to look at her.
"Don't worry about Sister Qinluo laughing at me. Actually, I've never been very brave enough to interact with other monsters. That's why I want to try something bold and break through myself. So... I won't bother Sister Qinluo to mediate."
"Sister Tillandsia, please help me find a topic that the other sisters are interested in and tell me how to start."
Chunluo looked at Gu Qingze with a puzzled look on her face. "Sister Linglan doesn't seem like the type who would be... hesitant to socialize with demons. Is it because I haven't seen demons in a long time that I'm not very good at seeing them?"
"When Linglan and I first met, she acted like..."
"That's because Sister Tilbury is different to me!"
Gu Qingze immediately interrupted Chenluo's questioning, not wanting her to delve into it further, lest she discover the loopholes in her logic.
Seeing that she was stunned by his interruption, Gu Qingze slowed down his tone and spoke gently and sincerely.
"I don't know why, maybe it's fate from a previous life, but the moment I saw Sister Jinluo, I felt like we were old friends, a familiar feeling. I feel at ease when I'm with you."
Although Chenluo still felt something was strange, she was so confused by Gu Qingze's words that she had no time to care about anything else.
"I see... Suzuran-chan is really kind to me... If there's anything I need help with... I mean, I'll find out what kind of topic... I'll definitely do my best to help Suzuran-chan."
JIULUO's words became incoherent and her logic was confused, like the drunken talk of a drunk demon, dizzy and dazed.
But Gu Qingze smiled calmly. He understood what Chenluo said and knew that his plan was about to be accomplished.
The smile on his face became more obvious and more genuine.
"Thank you, Sister Tillandsia. I've just thought about it. I think it would be easier to get into the topic and enhance our relationship if we talk about each other's life experiences."
"Plus... most of us go to brothels involuntarily. Talking about these topics will also allow the sisters to vent their grievances and feel less depressed."
Chiluo was touched by her words. "Sister Linglan is truly a kind-hearted demon. It's truly commendable that she can maintain such qualities in this environment."
As expected, she was the demon she had her eyes on...
She didn't say the latter part out loud, but she inexplicably felt a sense of pride in her heart, and was proud of her sister Linglan.
She didn't know why she felt so inexplicably high...but she was just happy.
"Don't worry, Sister Linglan, I will definitely help you with this."
JIULI suddenly became full of fighting spirit.
"Thank you in advance, Sister Tillandsia. I know you're the most reliable."
Gu Qingze knew that his goal had been achieved, so he curled his lips and chuckled, and casually praised her a few words.
