Bai Xi did not want to go to the moon.
Bai Xi wanted to go to the haunted house.
When Qi Xun stood in front of the haunted venue, formerly an abandoned hospital, he still did not understand how the peaceful and beautiful date he had in mind turned into such a noisy and crowded place.
Bai Xi was so excited that his eyes were glowing.
They went home to drop off Chubby, who was now in Ms. Ding’s care, and then Bai Xi directed Qi Xun to the newly opened huge haunted house with his GPS.
The haunted house had been operating for a month with very good reviews.
While waiting in line, he told Qi Xun, “I have wanted to come here for a long time. I was originally planning to come here with Liang Song and a colleague of mine. But Liang Song refused to come even if he got beaten, and my colleague had something come up and canceled on me.”
Bai Xi’s thrilled expression turned into disappointment.
Liang Song was much more of a scaredy-cat than he was. He wanted to see his friend running away from chasing NPCs.
Qi Xun thought about how he was still the second choice.
Seeing the line dwindling, he reconfirmed for the last time, “Do you want to do this? I do not want you to cry about coming out once we enter.”
This was not him venting to Bai Xi in advance.
He knew Bai Xi’s fear level loud and clear both as a friend and a partner.
Bai Xi’s love for the supernatural could only be described in four words—always asking for more.
The young man could not go to the bathroom after watching horror movies at night. But he always remembered the thrill, never the fears, and would repeat.
He witnessed Bai Xi walking down the same cycle years before, and it is not a small number of times.
Bai Xi was not boasting about this right now either.
He looked up at the outline of the hospital-like haunted house, silently stuffed his hand into Qi Xun’s palm, his face sincere, “Then I can only rely on you protecting me. If I faint inside, remember to drag me out.”
While talking, they arrived at the entrance of the line.
Qi Xun glanced at his boyfriend and placed him closely on his chest. “Understood. Let’s go.”
Moments later, Qi Xun’s guess came true.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Bai Xi was so frightened that he cried and howled madly inside. Especially when he was selected to light a candle in the operating room alone, Bai Xi was practically on him and refused to come down.

At the end of their spooky date, Qi Xun carried him out.
Although it was not the princess’ carry, the degree of humiliation was about even.
Bai Xi quietly covered his face with the souvenir fan and pretended that he did not exist.
The college students who formed a team with the duo were not doing much better either. They were all pale-faced and looked as if they were minutes close from throwing up.
With no one to carry them, they supported each other and found a place to rest.
.
Qi Xun put Bai Xi down on a bench outside and went to buy a cup of iced fruit tea to help Bai Xi pass the lingering shock.
Bai Xi drank his fruit tea out of a straw. His eyes and nose were slightly red, a terrified and pitiful little fawn.
Qi Xun found this funny.
He bent down and gently tabbed the tip of Bai Xi’s nose. “Will you come again next time?”
Bai Xi drank more than half of the drink in one breath. His heart was beating faster from the stimulation earlier, and his eyelashes were wet as well.
But he sniffed and answered firmly, “Of course.”
Qi Xun could not resist chuckling. He really could not understand Bai Xi’s masochism hobby.
He reached out and wiped a tear from Bai Xi’s eyes, he whispered, “Little cry baby.”
Bai Xi glared up at him.
But because of the weak momentum, there was not much lethality behind it.
.
Once Bai Xi had his rest, the duo went to have dinner.
Although he was frightened to death, it did not affect his appetite at all. He was hungry enough to eat a whole steak meal.
After returning home, he played with Chubby for a while. Then he took a shower before lying on his bed to browse through his phone.
When he found a funny video, he immediately wanted to share it with Qi Xun, but when he turned around, he found the man was chatting with someone on WeChat, judging by the pile of photos being scrolled through.
That is weird. If he remembered correctly, Qi Xun said he had no more business to deal with today.
He asked, “Something came up for work?”
Qi Xun looked up, locked his phone, and put it to the side.
“No, just talking to a friend about something.”
Bai Xi did not think much of it, nor did he have the desire to check Qi Xun’s phone.
Knowing that Qi Xun was not working, he comfortably leaned beside Qi Xun and showed the other the little penguin on his phone. Laughing at the amusing video playing on his phone.
But Qi Xun was absent-minded and did not pay attention to what was on the screen.
He held Bai Xi’s hand, it was hard to tell if he did it unconsciously or intentionally, rubbing on the ring finger of the young man’s left hand.
It was empty.
Bai Xi used to wear a ring on his middle finger.
After a while, Bai Xi rolled off the bed and went to warm himself a cup of milk. He asked Qi Xun if he wanted one.
Qi Xun shook his head.
When Bai Xi went out of the bedroom, he unlocked his phone and inspected carefully the photo sent on the screen.
He replied on WeChat.
[The second one.]
.
The weather started to warm up without anyone knowing it.
Nearly a month has passed since the Spring Festival.
When the young ladies in Bai Xi’s office had begun to wear thin skirts for early spring, it was no longer cold outside.
Bai Xi visited Qi Xun’s parents again.
This time, it was Xu Jingwan herself who asked them to come for dinner.
Before their meal, Xu Jingwan grabbed Bai Xi to watch TV and chat, while Qi Xun sat beside them to peel pine nuts for them.
A historical drama played on TV, which showed the man and female leads performing the kneeling ritual for their wedding ceremony.
Xu Jingwan sighed movingly when she saw the gorgeous characters dressed in vivid red. The theme of this show was ‘love will always find a way.
She turned to Bai Xi and smiled, “I attended a family member’s wedding from my husband’s side a few days ago. There were so many people getting married after and during the Spring Festival.”
Bai Xi did not know the members of the Qi Family very well. He could not even recall his family tree beyond the first branch.
He could only nod his head softly as a silent agreement while she felt drunk but not from the wine.
She glanced at Bai Xi and then at her son, who was stuffing peeled pine nuts into the young man’s hand. The duo was so harmonized from any angle.
She suppressed it again, but there was always a limit as she faced Bai Xi with a gentle expression. “Let’s not talk about the others. How about you two, have you considered it?”
Bai Xi did not understand her question.
He met her eyes while drinking his coke, looking innocently at her and asking, “What about us two, considered what?”
Qi Xun already got his mother’s hint.
He looked at Bai Xi’s confused expression.
Just as expected.
Xu Jingwan tenderly caressed Bai Xi’s face. “What I mean is, have you and Qi Xun considered when you two will get married?”
Bai Xi almost choked on his coke.
Qi Xun patted him on the back.
Bai Xi coughed while looking in Qi Xun’s way.
Not knowing how to answer such a question, he had no choice but to send Qi Xun an eye signal that screamed help.
Contradicting his shock, Qi Xun was very calm.
As a son who knew his mother best, he knew this day would come.
After gently helping Bai Xi feel better, he turned to his mother and said lightly, “We will tie the knot once the time arrives. There is no need for you to worry.”
Xu Jingwan glared at her son
What kind of answer was that? Her son had no concept of seizing the opportunity.
Qi Xun, with an indifferent expression, continued to peel pine nuts for Bai Xi and began to ignore his mother.
Aawwwww Qi Xun was already searching for a ring 🥰🥰🥰
