Gu Zhou glanced at him without saying anything, then dried his hair before sitting on the bed.
Without lying down, Gu Zhou took out a small notebook from the talisman paper and handed it to Qi Jing, "Take a look at this first."
Qi Jing took it and saw names and simple plots densely written on it. The first one was Qi Huang, the real and fake daughter, who was reborn and counterattacked.
Then there was Qi Yue, a twin sister. Her parents and family were partial to her, and eventually forced Qi Yue to death before she came to her senses.
Then there is Du Huanhuan, the open and covert struggle between a rich lady and her illegitimate daughter, who gave birth to three treasures in one pregnancy.
Qi Qi picked up a man, but was mistaken for a man, and the story ended in misfortune.
Qi Yuan, an eleven-year age difference, a paternal boyfriend, and a doting sweet story.
Mo Chuxia, a young lady from a wealthy family, met a Phoenix man and was cheated of all her family property. In the end, she counterattacked and became a famous designer.
Lu Xueqing, after encountering unspoken rules, finally became a film queen.
Bai Jing, pseudo-orthopedics, imprisonment play.
Xu Zhiyi, past life and present life, the love between human and ghost is still there.
There were several more names at the end, which made Qi Jing stunned. He held the notebook in front of Gu Zhou and asked, "What do these mean?"
"This is our world, made up of countless small stories. These are just what I found according to my memory and what Gu Xuanyi knows. I don't know how many there are that I haven't encountered." Gu Zhou leaned against the head of the bed feeling a little tired. He had read many novels today and recorded these based on his memory.
Qi Jing suddenly felt aggrieved, "So I'm fake?"
"You are not." Gu Zhou lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Qi Jing's. "You are real, and we are not."
"you?"
"Yes, everyone except you is fake, created by words." Gu Zhou lowered his eyes. After realizing this, he went to the library to look up some information, but still couldn't figure out Qi Jing's situation.
Gu Zhou reached out and picked up Qi Jing, placing him on his lap, and slowly explained to him, "Your soul returned to some time five hundred years ago and told Gu Xuanyi a lot about these stories. You read Gu Xuanyi's fortune three times, and each time the result was death. Do you know why?"
Qi Jing shook his head honestly. He had forgotten that he had calculated Gu Xuanyi's fortune, so how could he know why.
Gu Zhou lowered his eyes, "Because he was the protagonist of one of the stories at that time. His life and death were all for the sake of being with the heroine, but his life trajectory changed because of you. He fell in love with you, and there was a mistake in his existence. He could only be doomed."
"But Gu Xuanyi didn't die, nor did he get married." Qi Jing grabbed Gu Zhou's shoulders, feeling a little flustered. He thought of the ways Gu Xuanyi died, which made him very uncomfortable.
Gu Zhou hugged him tightly, "You didn't promise him, he didn't completely get out of the plot, you created a bug for him."
"What bug?"
"It's a glimmer of hope." Gu Zhou touched Qi Jing's head. "You subconsciously reject Gu Xuanyi because you're afraid he'll die. Every time you read his fortune, you hint to yourself, rejecting him. You've done this three times. Without your soul, you can't control it. That hint has been deeply rooted in your heart, probably like your inability to control your fear of dogs."
Qi Jing could understand this metaphor, "Then I don't like him anymore, and I don't like you either."
"Shut up! Don't say anything." Gu Zhou pinched his waist, "You really can make me mad at you!"
Qi Jing frowned, "Aren't you saying that I can't like Gu Xuanyi? You are Gu Xuanyi, and Gu Xuanyi is you, so I can't like you either."
"That was in the past. I'm not the protagonist now."
"Then what are you?"
Gu Zhou pointed at Qi Huang's name and said, "He's the villain in True and False Daughter who mistakes a fish eye for a pearl and then regrets it deeply."
Qi Jing said "oh", but obviously didn't understand. What's the difference between the supporting actor and the leading actor?
Gu Zhou sighed, "Anyway, it's not that important. It can deviate from the plot."
"Then what?" Qi Jing asked tentatively, and sure enough, he got a big eye roll from Gu Zhou.
Qi Jing felt wronged, "You despise me."
"I hate you so much." Gu Zhou threw away the notebook and buried his head in Qi Jing's shoulder. "What do you think I should do with you?"
Qi Jing had no idea, so he could only touch Gu Zhou's head like he was coaxing a child, "Don't cry, don't cry."
Gu Zhou didn't want to cry, he just felt a little tired.
He originally thought that Qi Jing didn't understand love and that he could take his time, but last night he learned this from Gu Xuanyi. Qi Jing didn't understand, but in order to save Gu Xuanyi's life, he was forcing himself to pry into the secrets, giving him hints again and again, completely putting himself in a difficult-to-open shackle.
Gu Zhou muttered, "When your soul returned to its place, you promised Gu Xuanyi that you would come back one day. You asked Gu Xuanyi to wait for you and entrusted many things to him. But you forgot everything the moment you turned around. You don't remember anything at all. What do you want him to do?"
Qi Jing didn't know what to do. He lowered his head and rested his chin on Gu Zhou's head, and asked in a muffled voice, "Does he hate me?"
"It's not that he hates you, it's that he's tired of waiting. He wants a response from you, wants to wait until the day your soul returns to its place. But he's waited too long. He's angry with you, but you don't understand. All you have in your eyes is the Qi family. He wants you to look at him more. Even if you don't feel like you kiss him every time, he just wants to be closer to you and create hope for himself. Only in this way can he continue to wait."
Qi Jing felt stuffy in his chest again. It wasn't the panic and fear of being kissed, but a sour and sad feeling.
Qi Jing was at a loss for words. Five hundred years wasn't a long time for him, but for Gu Xuanyi, an ordinary human, it felt like five centuries. Dynasties had changed, and the stars had shifted. How had Gu Xuanyi managed to survive those sixty years while he was asleep?
Gu Zhou forced himself to control his emotions, raised his head and held Qi Jing in his arms, "Don't always blame him for not saying anything, he just wants to use those things to annoy you. And even if he told you, you wouldn't understand, and you still bothered to think about it. Isn't he always by your side to solve those problems every time you encounter them?"
Qi Jing recalled that it was just as Gu Zhou said, every time he encountered some strange things, it was Gu Xuanyi who helped him solve them, although he had to trick him into kissing him.
"I'm not mad at him anymore."
"Then you are quite generous." Gu Zhou stroked Qi Jing's long hair with his hand, feeling a little amused. He really didn't give any useful response.
Qi Jing was very pleased with himself, "I am much more generous than Gu Xuan."
"Well, he was being stingy." Gu Zhou agreed and continued, "Your spirit said you came from another world, but you didn't have time to explain why you came here or where you came from."
"Then why did I lose my memory? Is my eldest brother really not my eldest brother?" Qi Jing cared more about this. In his cognition, he should be Qi Si's younger brother and a member of the Qi family.
