After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

"What if he doesn't find it bothering him?"

Su Ming observed Gu Qingze's expression and continued.

"How is that possible... Being misunderstood as a friend would be very troubling for anyone... Unless he really likes me."

Gu Qingze smiled and shook his head.

"How do you know for sure he doesn't like you?"

Su Ming said.

Gu Qingze stood there at a loss, his fingers subconsciously clutching the corner of his clothes.

Ling Xiao likes me?

Just thinking about this possibility made his face, which had just returned to normal, turn red again.

"How is that possible? If he really liked me, he would definitely tell me."

Gu Qingze denied it.

Not to mention that the male protagonist in the original novel has a female sexual orientation, even if he really likes him, he should show it.

In the original novel, whenever the male protagonist falls in love with someone, even if he only has a little affection for her, he will tell the other person immediately.

If Chu Lingxiao really liked him, how come he didn't notice it at all?

"Let me ask you, if you like someone but don't know what he thinks, will you tell him directly?"

Su Ming asked.

"I...I don't know. I've never experienced what it feels like to like someone."

Gu Qingze thought for a moment and said.

"If you tell the other person directly and he doesn't like you, you won't even be able to be friends, so few people will tell the other person directly. Usually they will test each other's feelings before telling each other."

"So that's how it is. But why did you say Ling Xiao likes me?"

"The look in his eyes is very obvious. I think anyone can see it. Even a slow-witted guy like Zhou Yue can notice it."

"...Thank you for telling me this. It's getting late. I should go back to the tent and rest."

Su Ming knew that he didn't want to continue chatting, so he tactfully didn't stop him from leaving.

Looking at Gu Qingze's receding back, he smiled helplessly.

Originally, he realized that Gu Qingze knew about his relationship with Zhou Yue, so he wanted to exchange secrets with them.

Love between homosexuals is too special. When asked about it, they would usually say that they are just friends, so he thought that it was the same for Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao.

Su Ming found it a little unbelievable. He didn't expect that they were really friends, at least for now.

This was the first time he made a wrong judgment about the relationship between two people.

What he did just now, if Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were really together, would he be considered their assist?

It doesn't matter. Gu Qingze's mind must be a mess and he won't have time to tell others about his relationship with Zhou Yue. So the result he wanted to achieve by calling Gu Qingze over has been achieved.

As for how they will develop, it has nothing to do with me.

Su Ming shook his head and went into the tent to practice.

When Gu Qingze came back, he saw Chu Lingxiao still waiting for him by the campfire.

"Have you finished talking with Su Ming?"

Chu Lingxiao saw Gu Qingze coming back and smiled at him.

"The chat is over."

"What did you talk about? Is it convenient for you to tell me?"

"Nothing, just chatting about trivial things."

"Oh."

Chu Lingxiao realized that he didn't want to discuss this topic, so he didn't ask any further.

Gu Qingze slowly sat down next to Chu Lingxiao, feeling a little inexplicably reserved. He glanced around but didn't dare to look at him.

"Ling Xiao."

"Yeah. What's up?"

Chu Lingxiao tilted his head and looked at Gu Qingze.

"you……"

Do you like me?

It was clearly such a short sentence, but Gu Qingze couldn't open his mouth. He didn't know why he was like this. His lips opened for a long time, but he couldn't utter a single syllable.
