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

The results were quickly determined because there was no more doubt from Keduo.

"Now please ask the recorder to read out the results."

Mr. Luo said seriously, his tone suddenly became serious.

"The top three teams in this competition are Chu Lingxiao's team, Su Han's team, and Zhou Yue's team."

Listening to the recorder's announcement, the camp became more lively. Of course, most of the students were excited because they could finally leave here and go home.

They have been on edge for so many days, having to be alert to the danger that might come at any time. This suffocating feeling makes it hard for them to breathe.

“We are number one!”

Chu Lingxiao patted Gu Qingze on the shoulder and smiled.

"Haven't you predicted the trial rankings before? Why are you so excited when the results are actually announced?"

Gu Qingze teased.

"It's a different feeling. When I was standing on the stage just now, I saw someone questioning me. Although I know it won't be considered cheating, I was still nervous. So this time the result was a close call!"

Chu Lingxiao explained seriously.

Seeing his serious look, Gu Qingze couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

"Then let's celebrate our near miss this time!"

"how to celebrate?"

Chu Lingxiao looked at Gu Qingze and asked with a smile.

"After we return this time, there will still be three days until the second trial begins. I will treat you to a delicious meal."

"Delicious? But cultivators cannot eat ordinary food, otherwise it will have an adverse effect on their cultivation."

Chu Lingxiao looked at Gu Qingze in confusion.

"Ling Xiao will know when the time comes, so let's keep it a little mysterious for now."

Gu Qingze kept the secret and deliberately didn't tell Chu Lingxiao directly.

While they were talking, Gu Qingze suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. He turned sideways and found that it was Su Ming and Zhou Yue coming over.

“Congratulations on winning first place. You really deserve it.”

"Congratulations, you are awesome too. If you hadn't stepped up in time, the situation would have remained deadlocked for a while. Thank you so much."

Gu Qingze said this sincerely, not only thanking him for what happened just now, but also thanking Su Ming for reminding him before and letting him know Chu Lingxiao's feelings.

Ever since the last campfire conversation was resolved by Chu Lingxiao in a joking manner, they seemed to have returned to their usual way of getting along, and tacitly stopped asking about relationship matters.

But Gu Qingze always felt guilty because he was not sure of his feelings, so he had no way to respond to Chu Lingxiao's feelings. He couldn't make up his mind whether to agree or refuse.

This matter is like a knot in a rope. If it is not untied, it will only become more and more complicated as time goes by.

He knew clearly that as long as he didn't take the initiative to respond to his feelings, Chu Lingxiao might not take the initiative to say it, and they might be able to become superficial good friends for life.

But doing so is too selfish. He would deceive himself into defining their relationship as friendship, and then enjoy the comfort brought by a stable relationship. This is not only irresponsible, but will also hurt Chu Lingxiao's cautious and sincere feelings.

Isn't this what other people call a "scumbag"? He never thought that one day he would be associated with this word. He didn't want to be that kind of person, but he had never liked anyone before, so how could he know whether he liked Chu Lingxiao or not?
