When Yan Xi heard Huo Xiao's voice, his whole body froze and his heart was beating like thunder. The thing he was most worried about happened. He subconsciously looked towards the door inside the room. Grandma Lu was indeed standing there, staring at the two of them in a daze.
Yan Xi's mind buzzed, and everything went blank. He hurriedly broke free from Huo Xiao's embrace, looked at him with a pale face, and forced a smile, "Senior, why are you here? Didn't I say that you can come to my house after I move in? You come so early now, and I don't have a place to stay here, so I can't treat you well."
He kept winking at Huo Xiao, who understood. He glanced at Grandma Lu and said quickly, "I thought you and Grandma Lu might not be able to handle it all by yourselves, so I wanted to come over and help out."
"Really, there's no need, senior. This will trouble you too much. I've hired people from a moving company, they can take care of it, right, grandma?" Yan Xi quickly calmed down and looked at Grandma Lu with a smile that gradually became more natural.
The Grandma Lu who was mentioned walked over slowly and said, "Yes, Xiaoxi did hire someone to help, and they are inside now. But, Xiao Huo, if you don't mind the simple interior, you can come in and sit for a while."
Huo Xiao glanced at Yan Xi from the corner of his eye, and seeing his eyes flickering, he did not agree. "Thank you, grandma, but I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I'll come back another day."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Grandma Lu called him.
Yan Xi clenched her fingers, extremely nervous.
Huo Xiao paused and looked back at her, "What's wrong? Grandma Lu?"
Grandma Lu patted Yan Xi's hand and took the things he had brought up from downstairs. "Go see Xiao Huo off. Don't just stand there."
“…Oh, okay.” Yan Xi walked to Huo Xiao’s side, looked at him, and suddenly became a little reserved. “Senior, let’s go. I’ll see you off.”
Huo Xiao nodded lightly, said goodbye to Grandma Lu again, and went downstairs with Yan Xi.
After entering the elevator, Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Huo Xiao, "I'm sorry, today is a little special."
Huo Xiao frowned and placed his hand on his back, stroking it gently, as if to soothe his uneasy mood. "What happened today? Did Grandma Lu find out something?"
Yan Xi shook his head and sighed a little worriedly, "That's not the case, but she mentioned it this morning and asked me if there was a girl I liked and wanted me to get married soon."
"Get married?" Huo Xiao was slightly stunned, and his other hand hanging by his side tightened involuntarily, "Then...what did you say?"
Yan Xi raised her eyes and saw his slightly nervous expression. She chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't marry anyone else. I said that the person I like is you. Even if I have to get married, I will only marry you because I only want to be with you. I don't want anyone else."
Hearing this, Huo Xiao slowly lowered the hand on his back and looked at the boy in front of him whose eyes were full of him. He turned his gaze away and asked, "You want to marry me?"
"Yeah, who doesn't want to marry the one they love? Don't you? Although same-sex marriage is not currently allowed in our country, it is allowed abroad. However, I think as long as you are willing to be with me, a marriage certificate is no big deal to me. A simple wedding will be fine. To me, a marriage certificate is not important, and neither is the wedding. What's important is that everyone knows you are mine."
Yan Xi spoke one sentence at a time, and the look she gave him was so hot and expectant. Huo Xiao took a quick glance, and his heart trembled. He felt his heart was burned by that hot look, and his thoughts were inexplicably a little confused.
"Yanxi..."
"Hmm? What did you say?" Yan Xi put her hands behind her back and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Huo Xiao looked down at him, pursed his lips, and said, "Are all your words true? You really don't care about anything as long as I'm with you, right?"
Yan Xi nodded and hugged him happily, "Yes! As long as I can be with you, it's enough. I don't care about anything else. After all, we are different from ordinary couples. Getting married is a bit of a luxury for us in this era."
Huo Xiao stared into the boy's bright eyes, curled his lips slightly, and held him in his arms, "Okay, I promise you."
After hugging her for a while, Yan Xi quickly let go, "But I need time to find a way to make my grandma accept this fact, so please wait for me, okay?"
Huo Xiao smiled and nodded, squeezing his hand lovingly, "Well, I'll wait for you."
