"So..." Feng Ying lowered his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly asked, "Does Chu Lingxiao know about these things?"
"Of course I know." Gu Qingze said as if it was a matter of course. "Ling Xiao is my lover, so naturally I tell him everything I know. Secrets between lovers can easily cause estrangement, and I don't want that to happen."
Hearing this, Feng Ying seemed to be hesitant to speak. A complex expression flashed across his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh, "You really dote on your wife too much."
"Wife?" Gu Qingze tilted his head slightly, unable to react for a moment.
After a moment, he realized that Feng Ying was referring to Chu Lingxiao. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle, "If Lingxiao were here, he would definitely be unhappy to hear someone address him like that."
Feng Ying also smiled faintly. "It seems like your relationship is very special. So how do you two usually address each other?"
Gu Qingze raised his chin slightly, a hint of tenderness in his eyes, "Most of the time we call each other by our names, and sometimes we use little nicknames that only the two of us understand."
Hearing this, Feng Ying jokingly said, "Okay, to avoid upsetting Chu Lingxiao, I won't call you that. Mainly because your brother likes to call me that, so I thought it was okay."
Gu Qingze heard this with a smile in his eyes: "Thank you for your cooperation."
He continued on the previous topic, "Actually, when I first learned this, I was a little shocked. But then I thought about it carefully, and it made sense. It even answered a lot of things that I previously thought were unreasonable and confusing."
"In that first world... I was an orphan, without parents. But I wasn't abandoned. It's just that even the system couldn't find my origins. I... seemed to have appeared out of nowhere."
"Besides, I grew up in an orphanage. Every time someone came to adopt me, it wasn't that they didn't want to adopt me, but it was like... they couldn't even see me, treating me like air. Isn't that weird?"
Gu Qingze looked at Feng Ying and said seriously, "Also, Feng Ying, your attitude towards me... is a bit too nice."
"Too good?" Feng Ying recalled, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Why do I remember that I basically didn't care about your life or death at that time? I just observed you and judged your value like a bystander."
"That's just an appearance." Gu Qingze explained seriously, "I can feel your concern for me. Whenever I ask you for something, you almost always respond."
"I want what you want. Although the conditions you put forward seem excessive, if you think about it carefully, they are not excessive."
Feng Ying smiled but said nothing.
Gu Qingze continued, "At the time, this was just a point that made me confused. It itself might not represent any substantial meaning."
"But...when I regained those memories, things became completely different. My previous doubts began to take on a new meaning."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but complain: "Feng Ying, I have to admit, my brother is actually a bit narrow-minded. In order to prevent me from recognizing other people as my parents, he actually set a rule that no one would adopt me, forcing me to fend for myself."
There was helplessness and teasing in his tone. He was both angry and amused by his brother's behavior.
"Your brother...he does do things like this sometimes."
Feng Ying originally wanted to refute, but in the end he couldn't help it and joined in the complaints.
Feng Ying touched his conscience and felt that he still had to explain: "Your brother's behavior is not entirely due to this reason."
"The situation was turbulent at the time. To ensure your safety, he had no choice but to randomly place you in a small world, setting you up as an orphan with no one to adopt you. This was also to protect you."
"Because you are an outsider in that world, if you form a family and establish close relationships with people from this world, you will be discovered faster and then fall into danger."
Gu Qingze smiled and said, "So, this is why I have no family or close friends in that world, right?"
Feng Ying was silent for a moment, then nodded. "This is a helpless move. However... your going to that small world of Xiuxian was beyond our expectations."
"I can't help it." Gu Qingze shrugged nonchalantly. "Someone hated me so much that they wrote a whole novel about me as a villain to vent their anger. It was like wrapping dumplings for a plate of vinegar. They even wrote me to death."
"I didn't expect that novel to form a small world due to some strange coincidences. What I didn't expect was that person projected so much hatred towards me onto the villain he wrote, and as a result, I accidentally jumped into this small world."
Feng Ying asked curiously, "...Do you know why he hates you?"
"Yeah." Gu Qingze smiled indifferently. "I didn't quite understand it before. After all, my brother forcibly set up an emotional barrier for me to prevent me from developing deep feelings. This made me basically indifferent to the things around me. But now... I think I understand."
He paused before continuing, "The hatred born of jealousy...isn't it interesting?"
"But I don't care about his strange hatred. On the contrary, I should be grateful to him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have met such a good person like Ling Xiao."
Feng Ying was about to say something when she heard him mention Chu Lingxiao with a sweet look on his face, and she immediately felt like she was being force-fed a mouthful of dog food.
After a moment, he spoke, "Even if you regained your memory and knew all this, then...how could you know the relationship between me and your brother?"
