From that day on, Huo Xiao completely gave up his disguise and exposed his true nature as a pervert.
He would touch Yan Xi at every turn, which made Yan Xi feel very stressed every time she was with him, for fear that something might go wrong and he would go wild.
But what made him feel relieved was that Huo Xiao seemed to really trust him completely. He didn't ask him what he was doing recently. Instead, he asked someone to help suppress the trending searches and secretly warned those who were doing bad things to him behind the scenes.
A few days later, Yan Xi invited the moving team and said to Grandma Lu with a smile: "Grandma, we won't cook today. Let's talk about it when we get to our new home."
Grandma Lu glanced at the movers behind him and was stunned for a moment before pulling him aside and whispering, "Xiaoxi, when did you rent a new house? Is the rent expensive?"
Yan Xi: "Grandma, don't worry, you don't have to pay rent, because this is not a rental, I bought it."
"Bought it?" Grandma Lu looked surprised. "But... where did we get so much money?"
Yan Xi had expected her to ask this question and quickly took out the lottery tickets he had bought. "I won a few lottery tickets a few days ago. The accumulated amount is enough to buy a house and a car, and to treat your illness. So, grandma, we don't have to worry about money anymore."
Grandma Lu flipped through the lottery tickets in her hands, her hands trembling, her eyes moist, and she nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, okay... Our Xiaoxi, you don't have to live a hard life with me anymore."
Yan Xi frowned and quickly corrected her, "It's not me, it's us. And grandma, now that I've grown up, I should work hard to give you a good life to repay you for raising me."
Grandma Lu looked at him with her slightly cloudy eyes, her lips moved, and after a long moment she held his hands tightly and said, "Xiaoxi, my illness is incurable. If you use this money to treat me, it may not be cured, but if you keep it, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life."
"Grandma, what are you talking about?!" Yan Xi couldn't laugh anymore. Her heart was pounding. She hurriedly suppressed her dangerous thoughts. "You are my grandma. If I don't treat your illness when I have money, I will be an unfilial son and grandson. Besides, I can earn money again if I lose it. But without you, I will have no relatives in this world. Can you bear to watch me become an orphan?"
The boy's eyes suddenly turned red and he reacted violently. Grandma Lu's lips trembled and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Before this, she had actually always had this idea in mind. She didn't want to be a burden to her grandson.
Cancer is a disease that few people can cure. On the contrary, the day-to-day treatment process will drag down the entire family.
Their family was not well-off to begin with, and now the financial hardship of treating his illness has only made matters worse. Every time she sees her grandson so tired, she doesn't want to live anymore.
She is old and has lived enough, but her grandson is different. His life has just begun and it is the prime of his life. He cannot make life so difficult because of himself.
Her grandson is so well-behaved that he deserves to live a good life and not accompany her suffering from illness day after day.
But now Yan Xi's words made her unable to let go.
Yes, if she dies, her grandson will be left alone...
But even if she were alive, it seemed she couldn't provide him with any help.
So now she is confused and doesn't know what to do.
After a long silence, Grandma Lu suddenly thought of a solution, which was to let Yanxi get married as soon as possible.
It would be best if she could see him get married and have children during her lifetime, then she, as a grandmother, can die with peace of mind.
When Grandma Lu thought of this, she seemed to see hope. She quickly wiped away her tears and forced a smile. "Xiaoxi, do you have a girl you like at school? If you do, go after her, okay? Now that you have money, you don't have to worry about the girl suffering with you."
She suddenly asked this question, and Yan Xi panicked. He didn't dare to look at her, and his hands loosened. "Not yet..."
Grandma Lu, however, looked unconvinced and said with a smile, "Xiaoxi, you're lying. I just noticed something was wrong with you a while ago. As an experienced person, I know what you're talking about. Tell me honestly which girl she is from? Let's go and propose marriage as soon as possible. You have to prove her innocence, but you can't let her down. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Yan Xi became even more panicked, feeling embarrassed and annoyed. Damn, it was all that guy Huo Xiao's fault for having to use so much force.
"Grandma, I...I haven't thought about it yet."
When Grandma Lu heard this, she became displeased and looked at him with a reproachful look. "What's wrong with you, kid? If you haven't thought it through, and you still do something like that with someone, won't that delay them? You must tell me today, who did you learn these irresponsible behaviors from?"
Yan Xi was like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.
I don’t know how to explain it.
It’s over, it’s over, this is completely screwed.
"Grandma, I need to discuss this with him. He hasn't agreed to let me be his boyfriend yet."
Yan Xi gritted his teeth and said this, feeling extremely confused.
Grandma Lu also knew that young people nowadays were not as open-minded as they used to be. She nodded thoughtfully and said, "Well, you have to take responsibility no matter what. Even if someone doesn't like you, you have to explain it to them."
"Oh, okay, okay." Yan Xi agreed readily, then ran to talk to the people from the moving company to divert Grandma Lu's attention.
However, after arriving at the new residence, Yan Xi's heart skipped a beat and he felt even more uneasy.
He had been thinking about giving Huo Xiao a surprise because the house he bought was an apartment opposite Huo Xiao's villa.
Now that I think about it, this wasn’t a surprise at all; it was a complete shock.
And he was the only one who was frightened.
As expected, what he feared came true. Huo Xiao seemed to know that he was going to move here. He actually came home from get off work early and took the initiative to find him.
At that time, Yan Xi was helping to move things at the door.
Huo Xiao thought he was the only one here, so he smiled and hugged him from behind, "Yanxi, I haven't seen you for a few days. Did you miss me?"
