Given the day off by Su Liang, Qi Jun had arrived at Xuanbei City earlier to visit his father, Qi Jiang. He gets along quite well with Lian Shun and Che Yun but didn't tell them about Su Liang being interested in Gu Ling.
As a result, Lian Shun found out from Gu Ling himself, and his feelings could only be described as quite odd.
That night, Lian Shun came over again to invite Gu Ling for a walk in the snow.
Gu Ling refused, saying it was too cold.
However, Lian Shun's enthusiasm couldn't be stopped by the snowstorm. With gentle persuasion and amusing cajoling, he insisted on staying until Gu Ling gave in.
"Lingling, Aling, Xiaoling, Little Lingling, Xiaogu..."
Listening to Lian Shun's affectionate calls through the door, Gu Ling slightly frowned. This person might have a quirky personality, but he seemed exceptionally enthusiastic about him.
