They walked and talked, and soon came back. They also finished eating the pastries they bought while chatting along the way.
Of course, most of it was eaten by Gu Qingze alone.
Even the lotus cakes that Ling Xiao bought for himself, he only took a few bites and stopped eating when he felt tired of them. Even though he created two new ways to eat them together, he only took one or two more bites.
In fact, when he was halfway through the meal, Gu Qingze was a little fed up, but remembering what he had just said to Ling Xiao, "Don't waste food", he decided to lead by example.
Coupled with Ling Xiao's "coquettishness" and feeding, as well as the expectant and encouraging eyes, he could not refuse and could only try his best to swallow it "with tears".
However, he was afraid that he would not touch pastries again within this month.
Looking at Chu Lingxiao's gloating expression, Gu Qingze shook his head helplessly, and then seemed to suddenly think of something important and asked.
"Oh, by the way, where did Ling Xiao place Jinluo after he redeemed her from the brothel?"
"Why, you're worried about me?"
Chu Lingxiao curled his lips, and his previous happy and cheerful mood disappeared without a trace in an instant, and his tone became as calm as water, without any ripples.
"That's not the case. After all, Tianluo is a friend I made in the flower house. She has helped me a lot, so I want to meet her."
Gu Qingze hurriedly explained, his expression full of sincerity, fearing that Ling Xiao would misunderstand him.
"Wow." Chu Lingxiao exclaimed in a flat voice, his voice deliberately exaggerated, and he stretched out his tone, "You two really are so in tune with each other. You are indeed good friends."
"That Chiluo is also concerned about your whereabouts. Ever since she was redeemed, she has been asking me to redeem you as well. She also wants to live with you, right? Sister Linglan~"
"Ling Xiao...can you speak properly?" Gu Qingze heard the sarcastic tone in his words and knew that he was jealous again, and said helplessly.
However, why does Ling Xiao get jealous so easily whenever he comes into contact with others?
Gu Qingze put himself in Ling Xiao's perspective and thought about it from his own perspective. If Ling Xiao made good friends, he would never be jealous of it, but would only feel sincerely happy for Ling Xiao.
Unless the friend Ling Xiao made had ill intentions and wanted to develop a closer relationship with Ling Xiao even though he knew that Ling Xiao had a Taoist partner, then if that was the case, he would not just be angry.
When Chu Lingxiao heard his helpless words, he felt an inexplicable surge of anger in his heart like a surging tide, but he still tried his best to suppress the urge to continue to be sarcastic with Qingze.
After all, Qingze only made a very reasonable request, and... Qingze didn't know the deeper things. If this continued, it would only make Qingze feel that he was unreasonable and make Qingze disappointed in him, which he absolutely would not allow.
Chu Lingxiao thought so and tried to restore the tone he used to use when speaking seriously in the past.
"Actually, Jinluo is not far from us. I placed her very close to Ye Li so that they can look after each other."
"And Ye Li?" Gu Qingze was stunned for a moment, then he reacted as if waking up from a dream and asked with concern.
"How is Ye Li doing now?"
Chu Lingxiao glanced at him with an expression that said, "You still remember to ask?", and that look made Gu Qingze feel a little guilty.
"Ahem, I was so busy I forgot," he muttered softly, a hint of embarrassment in his voice.
"Forget it." Chu Lingxiao replied slowly, looking very generous and not wanting to argue with him.
"Don't worry, Brother Jinnian is very responsible. He found a very capable medical practitioner to help Ye Li. Ye Li is recovering well now and rarely blurts out those offensive words anymore."
"Hmm... her cognition has become much more normal. At least... if she sees you again, she will definitely not call you master anymore. So what do you think? Do you feel any regret?"
Chu Lingxiao deliberately teased, with a hint of joking in his tone.
After hearing this, Gu Qingze finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as she's recovered well, there's nothing to regret about not calling me 'Master'. I'm not her master in the first place."
As he was speaking, he suddenly changed the subject.
"But...if Ling Xiao is willing, I can be your master."
Chu Lingxiao scoffed when he heard this, "Qingze, are you daydreaming? Becoming my master? That's wishful thinking. At most, I'll be your master reluctantly."
Gu Qingze was not angry when he fought back. After all, he was the one who started to tease Ling Xiao. He still had a smile on his face and listened to his words carefully.
"Really? If Ling Xiao becomes my master, that sounds pretty good."
His eyes were bright and he looked at him expectantly.
Chu Lingxiao knew that he was "acting" again, so he moved closer to cooperate, gently lifted his chin with his finger, and then spoke word by word.
"Of course it's fake. I don't have a hobby of training someone."
Gu Qingze pretended to be disappointed and looked at him, then couldn't help laughing, "Why is Ling Xiao not cooperating halfway?"
Chu Lingxiao also laughed, then stuck out his tongue, not intending to answer Qingze's boring question.
Instead, he returned to the previous topic and asked, "Ye Li, and Chen Luo, what are your plans for them?"
