When Chu Lingxiao woke up from his coma and opened his eyes slightly, he saw someone sitting beside his bed, with his hand still held in the other person's palm.
"Ling Xiao, you finally woke up!"
Gu Qingze noticed that he had woken up, his eyes were shining and he looked very happy.
Chu Lingxiao moved the corners of his lips, but found that he couldn't make any sound even though he wanted to say something, so he could only blink hard to show that he was fine.
Gu Qingze quickly handed him a glass of water so that he could moisten his throat first.
"Ling Xiao, drink some water quickly."
Chu Lingxiao took the water and sipped it in small sips.
After Chu Lingxiao finished drinking, he felt his throat was much better and not as dry as before, so he asked.
"How many days was I unconscious?"
"It's been two whole days. You have no idea how worried I have been about you these past two days."
Looking at Gu Qingze's aggrieved look, Chu Lingxiao inexplicably felt that he was a bit like a puppy waiting for its owner, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his head.
"Thank you Qingze for your hard work and care these past few days. I'm sorry for making you worry."
"It's not hard at all. As long as Ling Xiao can wake up, it's fine. It's our fault..."
Gu Qingze suddenly stopped talking and couldn't utter the word "friend".
Although Chu Lingxiao didn't know why he suddenly stopped talking, he felt a warm current in his heart when he heard the concern and doting in his words.
"How was the performance?"
"First place!"
Gu Qingze was stunned for a moment before he realized that Chu Lingxiao was asking about his performance in the duel, and he immediately answered proudly.
"Qingze is so amazing!"
Chu Lingxiao said flatteringly, giving him a big smile.
"Ling Xiao, let me tell you..."
Gu Qingze told him everything that happened after Chu Lingxiao fell into a coma.
During this time, Chu Lingxiao did not interrupt him and listened patiently.
"So, what exactly is that purple light that can actually make Su Han admit defeat?"
Chu Lingxiao asked doubtfully after listening to him.
"I don't know either. After it was over, I specifically asked about it. The elder who gave me the sword told me that he had accidentally found the purple light while traveling. He thought it was powerful, so he stored it in this sword and gave it to me."
"Forget it, if you don't know, then you don't know. There's no point in dwelling on it. The most important thing is that Qingze won first place, right?"
Chu Lingxiao said with a smile.
"But they said I didn't deserve the title and didn't deserve the first place."
Gu Qingze's voice was filled with depression and grievance.
In fact, he didn't care about these people's opinions at all, and didn't feel wronged, but for some reason, when he saw Ling Xiao, he couldn't control his emotions inexplicably.
"Be good, don't listen to their nonsense. As your friend, I feel proud that you won first place."
Chu Lingxiao's tone was calm and gentle, with a hint of comfort.
“…Not a friend.”
Gu Qingze was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"If not a friend, then what is? Could it be that Qingze has already regarded me as his best brother?"
Chu Lingxiao said jokingly with a smile.
But unlike usual, Gu Qingze did not choose to answer him jokingly. Instead, he stared into his eyes seriously for a long time before speaking solemnly word by word.
"Ling Xiao, I think I like you. Can we be together?"
