Gu Qingze half leaned against the wall, like a bystander, quietly watching everything happening around him.
Ling Xiao hasn't been here for a long time...
It seems that the investigation is not going smoothly, difficulties have arisen, and it is stuck on certain issues.
During this period, Brother Jinnian did not come either, probably because he and Su Han had not returned yet.
But there is no need to worry too much about performance. Thanks to the reward from his brother Jinnian last time, he has already ranked first and is almost qualified to meet the chief courtesan.
As Gu Qingze was thinking, he said "Ah-wu" and stuffed a peach cake into his mouth and started chewing.
The small cookies and desserts in Hualou are indeed more delicious than those bought outside. It would be great if he could get the recipe so that he can make them himself.
Just when he was about to eat the second one, the figure of JIULUO appeared in his sight. He looked at the peach cake in his hand, hesitated for a moment, put it in his mouth, chewed it casually a few times, and swallowed it.
"Sister Chiluo."
Gu Qingze pretended to be very surprised and shouted sweetly.
Chrysanthemum had been missing for the past few days, so it was fitting for him to act like this now.
"Sister Linglan, it seems that the previous time was very intense."
JIULUO did not respond to his greeting, but instead fixed her gaze on his neck covered in red marks, her tone sounding somewhat sarcastic and sour.
Gu Qingze noticed the focus of her gaze and realized something. His face turned a little red. It felt like someone else had discovered his treasured secret.
If I had known, I wouldn't have let Ling Xiao bite me... After they did it hard that night, Ling Xiao half kissed and half bit me, leaving a lot of marks on his poor neck and shoulders.
Even though I applied ointment...it still takes some time to completely disappear...
There is a way to heal it quickly, but he is not a medical practitioner and there is no medical practitioner here, so the red marks have remained until now.
"It's OK."
Gu Qingze wanted to brush it off and move on to the next topic.
After all, this was a private matter between him and Ling Xiao. He didn't want to share or discuss it with others, nor did he have that kind of bad taste.
Obviously, Chenluo also noticed it, so she didn't continue the conversation. She just pursed her lips and looked like she was still in a bad mood.
"...Sister Linglan, aren't you curious about what I've been doing lately?"
Her tone was tentative.
"I'm curious, but I think if Sister Jinluo wants to tell me, she'll naturally find the right time."
In fact, the main reason is that you are not familiar with each other and your relationship is not very close. Asking this kind of question can easily offend the other person.
Although Gu Qingze thought so in his heart, he still spoke in a more tactful way.
"So... Sister Jinluo is bringing this up now. Is she trying to share it with me?"
Upon hearing this, Chenluo was startled and couldn't help but grab the corner of her clothes. Then she lowered her head. When she raised it, there was a complex emotion in her eyes, but he couldn't understand it.
"As Sister Linglan said just now, now is not the time."
When Gu Qingze heard her suddenly cold tone, he was stunned at first, then smiled indifferently.
"Then I'll wait for Sister Tillandsia."
His tone became a little lighter, livening up the atmosphere between them.
In fact, it was because we were not familiar with each other and not that curious about the affairs of the morning glory, so I just said a cliché.
"I... have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
JIULUO glanced at him, as if afraid that he would ask some questions that she didn't want to answer, and then she turned and left.
Gu Qingze was confused by her behavior, but he didn't think too much about it.
Sometimes it is a virtue to respect other people's privacy and not ask questions that they don't want to answer.
Gu Qingze saw her leaving, put the third piece of peach cake into his mouth and started to taste it.
