When Chu Lingxiao heard his words and met his eyes, his heart beat so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his chest. He could deeply feel the seriousness and determination in Qingze's words.
....There is no need to tell me everything. I know Qingze is not hiding it on purpose, he just can't say it. And I also know that what you do is good for me and will not harm me. This is enough.
Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud when he met the eyes full of sincerity. He swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. He just smiled and shook his hand that was intertwined with his fingers.
"Okay, I look forward to that day."
After saying that, he stretched out his other empty hand, waved it in front of Gu Qingze, and asked with a smile.
"Since this is Qingze's promise to me, shouldn't we make a pinky promise to make it official?"
Gu Qingze also extended his hand, "Okay, let's pinky promise."
Unexpectedly, after they finished hooking, Chu Lingxiao seemed to think of something funny and said, "Isn't this a bit childish?"
"It's okay. Ling Xiao just brought up something that should be brought up at this age."
Gu Qingze said seriously, then smiled.
"Well, Qingze, I'm the one who's calling you childish in disguise, right?"
Chu Lingxiao heard the deeper meaning in his words, and pounced on him in dissatisfaction, with half of his body pressed on him.
"Ling Xiao, come down quickly! I can't breathe if you keep going like this!"
Gu Qingze patted his back and protested.
"No, Qingze must explain clearly, otherwise I won't come down and will keep pressing on you."
After Chu Lingxiao finished speaking, he moved his body again so that the area he pressed on Qingze would be larger.
"Well... I mean, Ling Xiao is still young, it's normal for him to do these things."
Gu Qingze pretended to think for a moment, and spoke more seriously than before.
"Isn't this exactly the same as what you just said?"
Chu Lingxiao lay on top of him, holding his chin with his hand, looking at him quietly, and said with a pout.
"Yeah, but I never said Ling Xiao was childish. If Ling Xiao's actions just now were childish, then wouldn't I, who responded to Ling Xiao's actions, be even more childish?"
"I really think Ling Xiao is still young, and this is the right time to do this."
Chu Lingxiao shuddered at his words, and snorted, seeming to express his disagreement.
"I think Qingze is the only one who thinks so. I'm already 26. If I weren't a cultivator but an ordinary person, I should have been married and had children by now."
"Besides, the average person's lifespan is so short. At my age, I'm already halfway through their lives. I'm really not young anymore."
When Gu Qingze heard this, his eyes became dark, as if he was thinking about something, and then he asked cautiously.
"Ling Xiao... do you really want a child?"
Because of his experience in an orphanage as a child, he doesn't like children...but if Ling Xiao likes one, they can adopt one.
"Huh?" Chu Lingxiao didn't understand why his train of thought was so complicated, nor did he know why he asked such a strange question. He tapped his forehead helplessly.
"When have I ever said this? Or expressed this emotion?"
He has no interest in raising children.
Moreover, if I have a child, not only will I need to take care of him and be responsible for him, but it will also take away Qingze's unique love...
The thought of this possibility made him feel extremely uncomfortable, not to mention "wanting" a child, which might make him feel disgusted.
Although he knew that his thoughts were not normal, so what?
He allowed Qingze to make friends and maintain the current situation. This was the maximum he could accept and also his biggest concession...
If he wasn't afraid that Qingze would be scared away if he went too far... he wouldn't have tried so hard to suppress those extremely dark thoughts in his heart and strive to move towards normality.
He could try to give in and be tolerant in other matters, but when it came to children... he wouldn't allow it.
He is the only one who can truly establish an intimate relationship with Qingze.
"Didn't Ling Xiao just mention that? If you weren't a cultivator, you should have gotten married and had children by your age."
Gu Qingze rubbed his forehead, which was red from being hit by Ling Xiao, with a wronged look on his face and spoke in a low voice.
"Qingze is indeed a fool! I was just making an analogy just now. Do you understand the analogy? I was talking about other ordinary people, not myself."
"Putting aside the question of whether or not I could have a baby, before I fell in love with Qingze, I had never even considered this."
Chu Lingxiao pinched his face and asked, "Could it be that Qingze likes children very much?"
Gu Qingze thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't like it, but if Ling Xiao likes it... we can adopt one, and I... will try my best to accept..."
"No need. Why force yourself to accept it? Besides, I have no interest in this kind of thing. The two of us are good together, perfect."
Chu Lingxiao rubbed his face for a while, like kneading dough, and did not continue speaking. Instead, he mentioned another matter.
"Do you remember when Qingze was buying a spirit beast in Qingyun Sect, he also wanted to buy one for me, but I refused. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Gu Qingze recalled for a moment and quickly found the relevant fragments in his mind.
