It was six days later, which was the end of this month, that Gu Qingze saw Chu Lingxiao again.
Chu Lingxiao always exudes the aura of "keep away from outsiders", just like a "mobile ice cellar".
When the monsters nearby saw him, they subconsciously moved away, not wanting to provoke him.
Too conspicuous...
They took the Huayan Pill to disguise their faces and identities in order to not attract attention. Ling Xiao is now like this...
But I can't bear to blame anyone...I just feel a little distressed.
Gu Qingze looked at Ling Xiao who was walking towards him helplessly but with concern.
Ling Xiao usually doesn't show his emotions that much, so he must have encountered something very bad.
But there were no wounds on his body, and his steps were normal without any limping.
It's not a physical injury...it's a mental one.
Chu Lingxiao was unaware of his own "low pressure" and simply moved closer to Gu Qingze, slowly putting his arm around his shoulder.
"Hey, I spent money, serve me quickly."
His behavior at this moment was very much like that of an "unscrupulous gangster", with a bit of "ruffian spirit", because he had hit a wall outside and wanted to vent his emotions here, just like a customer in a brothel.
But the temperament around him is too cold, and it neutralizes some of it, so it doesn't stand out particularly.
Seeing his unusual behavior, Gu Qingze became even more concerned. He took Ling Xiao into the room and skillfully completed the necessary steps.
Looking at Chu Lingxiao who was sitting on the bed with a tired face, Gu Qingze swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and grabbed the corner of his clothes, not knowing what to say.
"Qingze, why are you standing there like an idiot? When did you become so restrained in front of me?"
Although his tone was still not very good, it could be heard that he tried to soften it.
"Then...Is Ling Xiao okay?"
Gu Qingze hesitated for a moment, but still said it, and as he spoke, he moved closer to him.
"If I say everything is going well and smoothly, Qingze probably won't believe it, right? And I don't want to lie to Qingze either."
Chu Lingxiao smiled helplessly, but it was a very forced smile. When he realized that he really couldn't laugh, he returned to his expressionless look.
Seeing him like this, Gu Qingze moved closer, pinched the soft flesh on his cheek, and rubbed it again.
"Qingze, you..."
Chu Lingxiao was a little stunned because he was surprised by his action.
"Give Ling Xiao a facial massage. Otherwise, he'll get facial paralysis if he stays tense for a long time."
Gu Qingze described it in an "exaggerated" way. He just wanted to pinch his face, so he found an excuse.
"...Will I have facial paralysis?"
Chu Lingxiao's mind was not clear, and he seemed to really believe what he said. He moved his face closer and asked to be pinched.
So cute....
Gu Qingze looked at his unconscious trust in him and felt his heart soften. He cooperated and rubbed his face again.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ling Xiao."
Chu Lingxiao let him rub her, and only sighed after seeing him stop, with an expression of helplessness and doting.
"I can't help it. Who made me love you?"
"But... fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
When Gu Qingze heard this, his eyes lit up. He sat down, half hugged him, and rubbed his body against him.
"I knew Ling Xiao could do it. Did you find out anything?"
Chu Lingxiao hummed softly and forced a smile.
"Just as you and I deduced before, there is indeed an Oiran who has lost some of her memory in the branch of the brothel."
"And I used that strange phrase from my memory and tried to whisper it in her ear. The courtesan then covered her head with her hands, looking extremely painful."
"After Ling Xiao...how did you deal with it?"
Gu Qingze nodded. The result was as he expected. After all, this plan was the most reasonable possibility they had guessed.
Rather than this, he was more curious about how Ling Xiao would deal with the aftermath of the incident with the courtesan.
"It's nothing. Just like a 'key' opening a 'lock', it takes time. The 'secret word' awakening her 'memory' is the same. When her memory was about to be awakened, I directly stopped the process."
"So it can be done this way?" Gu Qingze was surprised, as if he had never expected it.
"Since this has been verified and is completely consistent with our suspicions, we will proceed according to our original plan when we meet the Chief Courtesan next time."
"Well, let's just stick to the original plan. I don't think there's anything else to add."
Chu Lingxiao nodded, recalled the process, and said this.
Then he opened his mouth again, wanting to say something, but not particularly wanting to. However, seeing Qingze, he couldn't help but complain about his desire, and he looked very conflicted.
After hesitating for a while, he still felt that he had to speak out, so he opened his mouth.
"To be honest, the difficulty of the entire verification process is not here at all, but in the identity and the oiran."
"To avoid suspicion, I used the Huayan Pill to disguise myself as various customers and went to the brothel. There were too many courtesans, so I tested them one by one, changing my identity every once in a while..."
When Chu Lingxiao said this, his tone became a little aggrieved.
"...I really don't want to go through that experience again. Now, whenever I smell the scent of makeup in the air, I feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable."
"If I wasn't so anxious to see Qingze as soon as possible, I wouldn't have suppressed this resistance. After completing the verification, I didn't even bother to rest and stepped into the brothel again."
Gu Qingze felt even more distressed when he heard his words. He touched his head and assured him.
"Ling Xiao, hold on a little longer. Once this is over, we'll never come to a place like this again. We won't even get close to it. If we see it, we'll just walk around it. How about that?"
"That's how it should be." Chu Lingxiao pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. "If it weren't for this incident, I can't imagine that I would come to such a place of fireworks and stay for so long."
"You know, I hate places like this because of my father."
As Chu Lingxiao spoke, he slowly lay down, half resting his head on Gu Qingze's legs, and twirled his hair around his fingertips.
"Yeah." Gu Qingze responded softly, lowered his head and looked at Ling Xiao who was resting his head on his legs. As if he had thought of something, his eyes became more determined.
"...I will never let Ling Xiao do anything he doesn't want to do again. I swear."
"You." Chu Lingxiao stopped tangling his hair. "I was just complaining. I didn't mean to blame anyone. Qingze doesn't need to blame himself."
He held Gu Qingze's cheeks with both hands, as if he was holding some rare treasure.
"I know, Qingze did everything for my own good."
