Most professional players would go home during vacation. Xiao Han’s father had been busy with work. It didn’t matter if he didn’t go back. Qin Mo’s parents were traveling recently, and he didn’t want to go back to Nanjing alone, so they decided to go to the United States together after discussion.
Xiao Han went abroad with his father when he was very young and grew up in Boston, USA. It was not until he met cat god while playing games abroad that he was taken home by his master to play games. His father still had a house in Boston, which had been idle since the father and son returned to China.
Some time ago, Xiao Han’s father asked him to have time to deal with the property and sell the house. Xiao Han just took advantage of this holiday to take Qin Mo to the place where he grew up.
When they arrived in Boston by plane in the afternoon, Xiao Han arranged a car to pick them up at the airport in advance.
The area of this house was quite large, and the independent yard had a lot of plants, but because no one had cleaned it for a long time, the yard was overgrown with weeds and looked a bit messy. But it was clean and tidy when he walked into the house. He heard that Xiao Han’s mother passed away a long time ago. He had been living with his father. A man must not be so careful in taking care of the family. The furniture in the house was particularly simple, there were not too many warm decorations, feeling a little desolate.
Thinking of Xiao Han growing up here, Qin Mo’s heart hurt slightly. Compared with being spoiled by his parents since childhood, Xiao Han must not have had a good time when he was a child, right?
His mother passed away so early, and his father was busy with his work and didn’t care much about him, so he learned to be independent at an early age. It was said that when cat god knew him in the United States, he could wash and cook at an early age, and his character was very rebellious. He was very repulsive to everything around him, and he was a very cold and paranoid teenager.
However, since he returned to China to play for several years, his character had been influenced by Dragon Song club, and his face was getting thicker and thicker, and he was much more cheerful…
Qin Mo lowered his head as he was thinking. Suddenly, a warm kiss fell on his forehead. He looked up and met Xiao Han’s smiling gaze.
Xiao Han said, “It’s said to be a scene which recalls past memories. I didn’t have any reaction when I came back here, but you look complicated. When others saw it, they thought it was your hometown.”
Qin Mo, embarrassed by him, turned his head and said, “I just… thought of something.”
“Do you feel sorry about me? Do you think it is not easy for me to grow up here alone?” Xiao Han asked directly.
Qin Mo’s ears were slightly red and said, “I don’t feel sorry about you.”
Xiao Han stretched out his arms and hugged him gently. He put his chin on his shoulder and rubbed it. He said, “You just feel sorry about me. Don’t deny it.”
Qin Mo: “… I am unable to outspeak you.”
Looking at his red ears, Xiao Han smiled slightly, tightened his arms, and whispered, “Actually, when my mom just passed away, I was very depressed for a while. Shortly after I arrived in the United States, my English was very poor, and I couldn’t play with the children around me. Many children bullied me when they saw that I was a mixed-race child. In addition, my dad was too busy at work and often left me alone at home. At that time, I even felt that the whole world was my enemy.”
Qin Mo: “…”
At that time, Xiao Han was alone in a foreign country and experienced the pain of losing his mother. He must be very sad, right?
Qin Mo was distressedly trying to comfort him. As a result, Xiao Han changed his tune and said, “However, I am not the kind of kid who hides and cries when being bullied. At first they bullied me. I have always endured it, and then I found the opportunity to beat the dead children severely. From then on, they were very afraid of me and recognized me as the boss and treated me with special respect.”
Qin Mo: “…”
Wait, why does this story plot seem wrong?
Xiao Han continued, “When I met my master, I happened to be in a rebellious period, killing people everywhere in the game, and finally I kicked the iron plate and killed cat god’s smurf account. You also know my master’s temper. Whoever kills him once will definitely return it ten times. At that time, I was killed by him and lost all of my equipment, leaving only the last pair of underpants…”
Listening to his story, Qin Mo couldn’t help but chuckle, and hurriedly coughed in a concealed manner, and said, “I’ve heard of your glorious deeds.”

When he first returned to China, Xiao Han’s Chinese was too bad and made a lot of jokes. At that time, Qin Mo was also a proud teenager with ‘chunibyo’ behaviour. After both of them met, Qin Mo was often offline angrily because of his bad Chinese, but he had to obey his master’s orders, practice and play games with him every day, and teach him to learn Chinese by the way…
That period of youth was their common black history.
Looking back at this time, it was full of warmth everywhere.
Thinking of those past events, Xiao Han’s gaze couldn’t help becoming more gentle. He let Qin Mo go, looked into Qin Mo’s eyes and said, “Before I was 18 years old, I always felt that God wasn’t good to me. I had no mother since I was a child, my dad didn’t care enough about me, and few foreign friends around me were really sincere. However, after returning to China with my master and becoming an esports player, I knew that God was very good to me. I knew many good friends in China. The most important thing is that I met you and fell in love with you.”
Looking at his gentle gaze, Qin Mo’s heart was already softened.
But after all, Qin Mo didn’t like to express himself as bluntly as Xiao Han, let alone expressing too explicit love words. His feelings had always been restrained. At this moment, he just took Xiao Han’s hand and said seriously, “I won’t leave you.”
Xiao Han smiled, reached out and gently rubbed Qin Mo’s hair, saying, “I knew that Xiao Mo was the best for me.”
After he said that, he took Qin Mo’s hand and walked around the room, giving Qin Mo a brief introduction to the situation at home.
There were three rooms and two halls. One was Xiao Han’s father’s bedroom, the other was Xiao Han’s room, and the study was his father’s office. Qin Mo followed him into his bedroom. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a lot of gadgets in the bedroom cabinet, including robot models and the surroundings of animation characters. Obviously, Xiao Han liked collecting these things when he was a teenager.
There was a photo frame on the table. The photo inside was about Xiao Han when he was seven or eight years old. He had blond hair, black eyes, a small face, pretending to be serious and expressionless. He was also very cute in Qin Mo’s eyes.
Qin Mo picked up the photo and said, “Why were you so cute in your childhood?”
Xiao Han said, “Do you like to see photos? I have more here.”
He pulled out a photo album from the drawer and handed it to Qin Mo.
Now most people would make digital photo albums, and fewer and fewer people would print out the photos as souvenirs. However, Xiao Han’s father was nostalgic. Xiao Han’s father would take him to take photos every birthday from childhood, and print them out and put them in the photo album.
Qin Mo sat by the bed and opened it slowly. The first one was when Xiao Han was one year old. He was a little fat and fleshy. His dark eyes were like gems. With blond hair, he was just like a little angel.
Later, this little angel grew up and gradually became a little devil. Xiao Han’s ‘chunibyo’ behavior was very serious when he was a teenager. In his teens, his appearance was quite non-mainstream. His childish face always showed an arrogant and cold look made Qin Mo really want to laugh when he looked at it.
From this photo album, he saw the process of Xiao Han’s growth.
Although he didn’t participate in this process, by turning through the photo album slowly. He seemed to be able to see a lovely child. After the shock of his mother’s death, he gradually became strong and brave. Later, he became the handsome and responsible man in front of him.
This feeling was wonderful. It was like a vine growing from the bottom of his heart, which gradually stretched and spread, and gently wrapped his heart, making his whole heart soft.
Qin Mo didn’t know much about Xiao Han before, but today, following Xiao Han back to the place where he grew up, Qin Mo found that he seemed to like this person more, whether it was a lovely mixed-race angel in his childhood or a rebellious kid who walked alone when he was a teenager, he liked it very much.
He looked at Xiao Han’s photos again and again, but he didn’t see enough at all.
When Qin Mo repeatedly flipped through the album, Xiao Han sat beside him, hugged him from behind, put his chin on his shoulder and watched with him. Occasionally introduced Qin Mo to the scene of deliberately opposing the photographer when taking photos, which made Qin Mo laugh.
At dusk, the warm yellow light outside the house was projected through the window screen and shone right on Qin Mo’s face.
Looking at his side profile, his lips raise a smile, and his eyes were gentle while seeing Xiao Han in his childhood. This kind of Qin Mo was really unbelievably good-looking, so Xiao Han was particularly moved and wanted to kiss him.
Xiao Han wouldn’t conceal his feelings. As a representative of the action sect, the next moment, Xiao Han resolutely stretched out his hand and lifted Qin Mo’s chin, leaned over and kissed him.
Qin Mo was caught off guard by a kiss, and the photo album fell to the ground with a ‘bang’.
The back of his head was lightly clasped by Xiao Han’s hand, and the kisses continued to deepen.
The room was quiet enough to hear each other’s heartbeat, and being treated so gently, Qin Mo felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
After a long time, Xiao Han let him go, smiled and asked softly, “Will you be angry if I kissed you without your consent?”
Qin Mo’s face flushed slightly, glared at Xiao Han fiercely and said, “How dare you say that? How many times is this?”
“The fifth time.” Xiao Han replied.
Listening to his straightforward answer, Qin Mo turned his head awkwardly, blushed and said, “How can you remember so clearly when you kissed me several times without my consent…”
“I remember everything with you very clearly.” Xiao Han replied calmly.
This sentence was more lethal than a confession.
Sometimes, Xiao Han’s straightforwardness made Qin Mo really overwhelmed, he could say anything. He didn’t know ‘implication’ at all and was never ‘tactful’. He always played straight balls like this, and always broke through Qin Mo’s heart instantly with such a sentence.
Qin Mo was silent for a moment, then whispered, “I won’t be angry.”
Xiao Han smiled and leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Is it because you like me to kiss you, too?”
Qin Mo: “…Shut up.”
Xiao Han didn’t shut up, but continued. “Every time I kiss you, you will not push me away, which proves that you actually like it.”
Qin Mo: “……”
Why should this kind of thing be discussed openly? Can’t you be a little more subtle?
He was so helpless, looked at Xiao Han and said, “Don’t discuss this, okay?”
Xiao Han immediately nodded, “Okay.”
Then he stood up, took out a diary from the table and handed it to Qin Mo. “Since you were interested in my childhood, this is the diary I wrote from childhood. You can read it.”
There was too much privacy in the diary, and some couples wouldn’t show their diary to each other, especially the diary in their childhood. Most people have serious ‘chunibyo’ behaviour during adolescence, and they will record some particularly ridiculous ideas in their diary. When they grew up, they felt ashamed to look at them, so how could they show them to others?
But Xiao Han handed the diary to Qin Mo, which made Qin Mo feel a little at a loss, “This… doesn’t need to be shown to me, right? You are not afraid that I know your privacy?”
Xiao Han smiled and said, “I wish I could rip my heart out and give it to you. What is a diary?”
Qin Mo: “…”
Xiao Han gently held Qin Mo’s hand and said, “I won’t have a secret in front of you. You are the one I cherish in my heart. You can know everything about me in the past. Including my immature ideas and cynical rebellion when I was young, you can laugh at who I was in the past, as long as you like who I am now.”
Qin Mo’s eyes were a little hot.
Xiao Han almost held a heart in front of him.
Such sincere and passionate feelings almost melted Qin Mo’s heart.
As he was about to speak, Xiao Han suddenly held his hand in the next second, took out a box from his pocket, and opened it in front of him.
Inside the box was a pair of men’s rings. The ring design was simple and stylish, with a small diamond in the middle. They weren’t too exaggerated and luxurious, but they were exquisite and beautiful. On the inner ring, the words ‘Han & Mo’ and ‘Mo & Han’ were engraved respectively.
Realising what he was going to do, Qin Mo’s heart suddenly began to beat violently.
Sure enough, Xiao Han knelt on one knee in front of him, gently shook his hand, and said, “Xiao Mo, let’s get married.”
Qin Mo: “……”
He was moved by Xiao Han so many times today that he couldn’t speak at all at this moment.
Xiao Han looked into his eyes earnestly. “I have already prepared this pair of rings a long time ago. You are the person I recognise. I can tell you all my secrets and I want to give my heart to you. We have experienced so many things and have been separated for so many years. In the future, I will never want to be separated from you anymore. I want to stay by your side and take care of you for the rest of my life.”
Xiao Han paused and said in a more sincere voice, “Promise me, okay?”
Qin Mo’s eyelashes trembled slightly and looked at Xiao Han’s eyes. Those eyes were full of tenderness, and there was a small miniature of himself in it.
At this glance, it was his determination for a lifetime.
His heart was like being injected by a cup of warm water, and his whole body warmed up. Qin Mo couldn’t help but smile, stretched out his hand and said, “Okay, help me put it on.”
A trace of ecstasy surged in Xiao Han’s eyes, his fingers trembling lightly, he took Qin Mo’s hand, and seriously put the ring on the ring finger.
Then, Xiao Han stood up and hugged Qin Mo into his arms, whispering, “Xiao Mo, thank you.”
“Thank me for what?” Qin Mo replied.
Xiao Han’s voice was hoarse and choked with excitement. “Thank you for coming back to me and giving me the opportunity to take care of you for the rest of my life. I love you, Xiao Mo.”
Qin Mo endured the sourness in his eyes and hugged him hard, using this action to express his strong feelings.
—— In fact, I should also thank you. It is you who brought me back to life and let me experience such a beautiful love.
—— I love you too, Xiao Han.
