Bai Xi was not a sharp individual.
Qi Xun’s words almost crushed his reasoning into powder as his more passionate self almost blurted out, ‘Then I will not go’.
Fortunately, his sense of responsibility as a working adult stopped him from saying this, even when that sense was on the verge of falling into the abyss. But truly, he was over the moon when Qi Xun asked him not to go.
Qi Xun was good at love talk and comforting him during their departures, but he rarely admitted his begrudgery so frankly.
This ignited a glimmer in his eyes.
He showered kisses all over Qi Xun’s face and promised, “I will return as soon as possible, and there will be no others that I will give my attention to. I would also video chat with you every day.”
He raised his hand with the engagement ring and swore to heaven.
Qi Xun was amused.
He, of course, trusts Bai Xi not to fondle the flowers and trample the grass during this business trip, since most likely, it would be the flowers and grass outside that flirt with Bai Xi.
He kissed Bai Xi. “I know.”
He did not release the man after that kiss.
Bai Xi’s small suitcase lay abandoned on the floor with several unfolded coats and unorganized skin care products tossed into it, but no one paid attention to it. The bedroom was quiet except for the occasional ambiguous groans.
When they separated, Bai Xi was slightly out of breath and his face was turning rosy.
It was getting late now.
He knew he should pack his things and prepare for his trip tomorrow, but he held onto Qi Xun’s neck like a young koala and was unwilling to climb down from Qi Xun no matter what. He leaned quietly on Qi Xun as his mind wandered in a circle, aimlessly thinking.
Bai Xi was troubled by the what-ifs in the recent development of their relationship.
At the thought of signing and receiving a marriage license with Qi Xun, he felt a bit fearful. Once that was said and done, they were legally bound as each other’s husbands, something that could not be back out of.
This fear was not because he did not want to marry Qi Xun. If he could describe it with prior experience, it would be the time when the teacher was passing back their graded exams. He was confident of his results, but he always tended to delay the revelation of his grades for as long as possible.

He sometimes thought of what Zhao Qingtong told him in the hospital, how Qi Xun was like a machine. A perfect boyfriend, built from responsibility and patience, but lacked the operations to love.
All of these made his imagination go wild. The thought of Qi Xun regretting picking him one day even crossed his fearful mind.
However, now that he was so intimate with Qi Xun that his fiance did not want him to go on a business trip, his wandering heart slowly grounded itself.
He could not resist the urge to smile. Qi Xun’s bluntness in admitting this already made him ecstatic.
He knew better than anyone how gentle and earnest Qi Xun was.
Since Qi Xun chose to propose to him, it was something he had carefully thought about, not something the other man would back out of halfway.
He loved Qi Xun like this, and he would never give up his man to others, no matter what. There was no point in him being troubled by his anxiety. It was just him getting upset over nothing.
He leaned on Qi Xun’s shoulder and blinked slowly at Qi Xun as if he had something to say.
Qi Xun thought the other man was acting coquettishly again, so he patted Bai X’s soft hair and asked, “Yes?”
After looking at the other man solemnly for a moment, Bai Xi asked, “Will you miss me during the time I will be gone?”
“Yes.” Qi Xun answered positively.
“Then will you behave yourself when I am not at home?”
This question was very childish.
Qi Xun smiled and replied, “Yes, I will.”
Bai Xi took a deep breath, and announced, with a newfound determination, “For you to feel less bored during this time, let’s get our marriage license once I return.”
He said this firmly with his mouth, but still he felt a little embarrassed. He rejected Qi Xun just yesterday, after all.
Qi Xun was caught off guard, but he smoothly and gently agreed, “Okay.”
He did not expect Bai Xi to suddenly come around and was willing to get the license with him.
He admired Bai Xi’s bashful side and found it funny. He asked in a low voice, “Why the sudden change of mind? Not going to stay like a little turtle as before?”
Bai Xi’s feathers were ruffled as he bit the other while grumbling, “I am not a little turtle.”
The bite’s strength was not painful, at least not to Qi Xun.
Qi Xun asked a different question, “If you are not a little turtle, why did you always make up excuses in the past? Did I do something wrong?”
Bai Xi shook his head immediately. Of course not. Qi Xun was the best of the best in his eyes.
“It has nothing to do with you. It was me being nervous and overthinking it,” he confessed honestly. “But now that has changed.”
Qi Xun’s eyes circled his face. Since Bai Xi did not want to talk about it, he did not ask.
He grabbed Bai Xi’s hand and clasped their fingers tightly, admitting, “Actually, I am a little nervous as well.”
Bai Xi tilted his head. “Nervous about what?”
He was the one who found love with his crush, all right?
Qi Xun paused and lowered his gaze, hiding the mood swirling in his eyes.
“Maybe after our marriage, you will find that I am not as perfect as you think.” Qi Xun said softly. “You like me too much and always think the best of me, but I may not be as perfect as your imagination.”
Bai Xi was stunned. He did not expect Qi Xun to say this.
He felt confused and tried to meet Qi Xun’s eyes, as he comforted, “Even if you are not perfect, I will still love you just as much.”
Now that the dent had burst, he could not resist the temptation to list out all the little things he had to say about the other man, “It is not that you are without flaw. You have OCD, are slightly mysophobic, you go silent when you are in a bad mood, and do not get me started with your negligence on health as a workaholic.”
Qi Xun: “…”
I am sorry?
But Bai Xi soon continued, “I also have many small flaws. I am not very sharp, I love dawdling in bed, I leave things lying around, and I am a picky eater. Even so, you still choose to marry me.”
He subconsciously put Qi Xun’s hand against his heart, as if letting Qi Xun feel his sincerity in this way.
He smiled brightly at Qi Xun. “For someone like you, you were probably first at everything since childhood and did everything at a hundred and twenty percent. I do not care if you are my boyfriend or partner, for neither of them is a career. Even if you did not get a full mark or perfect, I still think you are the best everywhere, because I will keep loving you unconditionally.”
Qi Xun’s heart felt like it was bumped by a fawn.
Romantic, unconditional love sounded unbelievable. It was driven only by emotion, not by facts or rationality.
But who has never had the thought of being loved that way forever?
Qi Xun thought that Bai Xi was always sincere and honest about his love. He was never afraid to share his feelings with him.
For that, he is inferior to Bai Xi.
He embraced Bai Xi and acknowledged, “It was I who was overthinking it.”
Bai Xi said kindly, “It does not matter. This is our first marriage. It is very normal to think about trivial things.”
Qi Xun began to smile as he lowered his head to kiss Bai Xi.
Bai Xi’s brain started to refocus on fixing his disorganized luggage, but Qi Xun took off his nightshirt and promised, “I will help you with packing later, Ms. Ding can help you tomorrow as well.”
He immediately flopped back down on the bed again.
What followed next was, without saying. Doing it a few more rounds was mandatory in preparation for their ten days of separation.
.
However, facts have proved that indulgence was wrong.
When Bai Xi got on the plane the next day, he still felt his back aching. He quietly stuffed a small pillow behind his back to ease his discomfort.
Next to him sat his young assistant and colleague. They have this teasing and dubious smile.
As he had developed an extra layer of skin on his face, Bai Xi pretended to see nothing.
He seized the time before taking off to send one last message to Qi Xun. It was a message lacking in nutrition, containing meaningless but lovey-dovey words.
His young assistant, Tong Jie, was drinking cold juice while looking at the pink bubbles around Bai Xi. It was really hard to understand what the gay guys were thinking at times.
She was also going to be separated from her boyfriend for more than ten days, all right? She wasn’t being all clingy to him.
Try learning from her strong will and calmness!
She shook her head and continued to drink her juice. She should just put on her silk eye mask to get an early shut-eye before she gets blinded by Bai Xi.
🥰🥰🥰

Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
😍😍 sweet and cute
I wish i could also meet someone who would love me as Bai Xi does to Qi Xun. That type of pure love that always sees you in a positive light and believes in you. Bai Xi is too pure for the world. 🤗🤗🤗
I don’t know how Bai Xi can brush away his anxiety like that. Marriage is more than a license, it should not be entered halfhearted. There’s not such thing as “my love is enough for the both of us” forever. It’s exhausting and it really takes a toll on one’s self confidence. Again, he’s clearly loved and Qin Xu will see it soon but life decisions such as that one, shouldn’t be unilateral.
