Si Sheng stood beside Xu Sili, bathed in a faint light. His short blond hair flickered in the light, and his gray-blue eyes were slightly wide.
His surprised expression was clearly captured by the camera. It was probably the first time he had lost his composure in front of so many people.
Si Sheng stared at the smiling young man in a daze before following his gaze to the old woman in front of him. His heart suddenly beat rapidly when he met Grandma Xu’s kind but scrutinizing gaze.
He couldn’t help standing up straight, his back straight and his expression full of seriousness.
The moment he saw Xu Sili crying, he knew that the two old people in front of him were indeed Ah Li’s grandparents, his relatives in another world.
He also heard that in the world of the braves… No, in the real world, people who were too old couldn’t use equipment to enter the game world. Thus, he understood why Ah Li was excited.
He just never thought Ah Li would directly admit their relationship in public.
Si Sheng’s heart was full of excitement.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time. He never expected that his wish would come true so unexpectedly.
He couldn’t help clenching his hands.
Xu Sili had just pulled his hand. Now their fingers were tightly clasped together, their palms pressed together as if they would never separate again.
Si Sheng’s heartbeat slowly calmed down. He looked at the elderly people in front of him and his lips slightly curved up, revealing a humble and well-behaved smile with a hint of flattery.
When had the players ever seen such a side to the marshal? They couldn’t help exclaiming that Marshal Si Sheng’s character had collapsed, while the CP fans of Si Sheng and Snow had gone crazy.
Ahh, they were real!
This was official candy!
It was to the point where it put fanworks to shame!
“Grandpa, Grandma, this is my lover.”
Xu Sili pulled Si Sheng to his side and said openly, “His name is Si Sheng.”
A sweet and happy smile appeared on his face as he talked about Si Sheng. He really wanted to let the two elders know that he was living well in the other world.
Grandma Xu looked at him and at Si Sheng. She was a bit dazzled by their smiles.
Her little grandson was already a handsome man. She hadn’t expected the man she suddenly pulled out to be as handsome as him.
His hair was golden and his eyes were gray-blue. He was as handsome as the prince charming in a fairy tale, and his aura was very intimidating.
However, in front of them, the young man restrained his aura very well as if he was trying his best to appear gentle and harmless.
“Hello, Grandpa, Grandma.”
Si Sheng whispered while using the language of the real world.
He controlled his voice to the center of the stage and didn’t let anyone else hear it.
Grandma Xu actually knew a long time ago that her grandson had a boyfriend and that he was very liked by her daughter-in-law. Now that she finally met him, she also thought he was a likeable child.
“Okay, this young man is really good…”
The elderly woman said with a smile, her face full of kindness.
Grandpa Xu next to her looked a bit uncomfortable at first. Then he saw the smile on his little grandson’s face and quickly felt relieved.
The law on same-sex marriage had been passed more than ten years ago, and he knew that he was in no position to oppose it.
Not to mention…
He was lucky to be able to see his grandson and to get him back. Why should he care about such trivial matters?
“You have to be well and take good care of yourselves.”
Grandpa Xu looked at Xu Sili greedily and subconsciously wanted to raise a hand to pat his shoulder. Then he quickly thought of something and withdrew his hand in a trembling manner.
Xu Sili’s eyes dimmed for a moment. Then he soon felt Si Sheng grip his hand tightly, giving him silent comfort.
He felt that he had regained strength, so he laughed again and said, “I will. You and Grandma should also take care of your health and live a long life.”
They must hold on until they could enter Starry Sky Age…
“I am here to protect him. Please rest assured, “Si Sheng said solemnly.
Seeing their little actions, the two elderly people smiled and nodded. Xu Fengqing and Xu Yuheng next to them looked at each other and saw the helplessness in their eyes, but didn’t say much.
In fact, after so long, they had already accepted Si Sheng in their hearts.
It was indeed an extremely lucky thing for their younger brother to have such a powerful existence guarding him and to have someone understand and love him so much to accompany him. They had no reason to not support it.
They hadn’t expected their younger brother to be so willful and choose to make it public without discussing it with them in advance.
Fortunately, his words didn’t arouse too much suspicion.
They didn’t intend to let outsiders know that Snow Roland was Xu Sili. Outsiders might not believe it, but they didn’t want to take extra risks.
Seeing the satisfied expressions of his grandparents, the two brothers slowly started to think that this might be a good choice. As for public opinion…
Coming out wasn’t a rare thing in this era. After all, same-sex couples had been allowed to marry for more than a decade. People had long been accustomed to it and didn’t look at people who came out of the closet in a strange way.
Now it was just two NPCs who announced their relationship at the opening ceremony of a gaming competition…
It might be considered hype, but judging from the reaction on site, the effect seemed to be quite good. At the very least, the couple’s merchandise would probably sell like hot cakes in the future?
Xu Yuheng thought aimlessly.
At this time, Xu Sili held Si Sheng’s hand again. Then he mobilized the sound elements to spread his voice to ensure that all the audience members present could hear it.
“Grandma and Grandpa, will you bless me and Si Sheng?”
After he finished speaking, he added something that made Si Sheng stunned again. “I really like him very much.”
Si Sheng felt his heart skip a beat again.
Ah Li was a relatively reserved person who rarely expressed his feelings. But today, not only did he announce their relationship in front of so many people, but he also confessed his love in front of the elders…
He even used the word ‘really.’
Si Sheng only felt that he heard the sound of heaven. The well-behaved and humble smile on his face had long been replaced by joy and sweetness.
He looked at Xu Sili, wishing to hug him, kiss him deeply and vent the surging emotions in his heart.
But in front of his elders, he didn’t dare to go too far.
At this moment, the whole hall was in an uproar due to hearing Xu Sili’s confession in person.
“Bless! Bless! Bless you!”
“Ahh, His Majesty Snow is so brave! So cool! His Majesty Snow is the top!”
“The emperor can be the top! I ship it!”
“They are such a perfect match. This is so sweet. Woo woo woo… The Starry Sky Age officials are so good!”
As the crowd was in an uproar, Si Sheng also became serious. He imitated Xu Sili and declared in a voice that everyone could hear, “I love him more than my life.”
“I will always stay by his side. No matter what happens, it won’t change my feelings for him!”
This deep affection full of piety and sincerity made it impossible to doubt that he would really risk his own life if Xu Sili was in danger.
Cheers even louder than before rang out through the hall.
The two elderly people also laughed. These two really loved each other. To put it in a fashionable manner, it was a two-way love. What else could they object to?
“Very good. My wife and I wish you peace and happiness. May you stay together forever and grow old together.”
Grandpa Xu added, “Just like me and your grandmother.”
Xu Sili was still feeling moved. Then he heard his grandfather’s last sentence and couldn’t help laughing.
Grandma Xu gave her husband a reproachful look, but soon smiled again and nodded. “Yes, just like us.”
Xu Sili also nodded. “Okay, this is the best blessing I’ve ever received!”
They were talking to each other, but Xu Yuheng felt quite helpless. Could they consider the single people on the same stage?
He glanced at his older brother, hoping to get some recognition from him. However, he saw Xu Fengqing looking thoughtful and ignoring him completely.
After all, it was a live broadcast and there were other programs to come.
Once the host finally came to his senses and gave them an urging look, Xu Yuheng and Xu Fengqing supported the two reluctant elders to walk off the stage.
Seeing the two elders being reluctant to leave, Xu Yuheng secretly made up his mind to ask the research institute to see if this equipment could be simplified to have the same effect at home.
Until the figures of the two elderly people disappeared from the projection table, Xu Sili and Si Sheng were still standing there, their hands tightly clasped together, never separating from beginning to end.
It wasn’t known who started it, but there was a noisy commotion in the hall.
“A kiss! Give us a kiss! Give us a kiss!”
Si Sheng’s expression was a bit dark. He wanted to make his relationship public and stand by Si Sheng’s side openly, but he didn’t want others to see them being intimate.
However, he really wanted to fiercely kiss the young man beside him, wanting to let Xu Sili know his joy.
Xu Sili was quite generous. In the midst of the noise of the players, he smiled and pulled Si Sheng over. He held the man’s face with his other hand and kissed him on the lips.
“Wahhhh!”
“Awesome!”
“His Majesty Snow is so cool!”
The deafening noise brought Si Sheng back to his senses. Once Xu Sili kissed his lips and was about to move away, he simply put his hands around his waist and kissed him deeply.
When their lips touched again, their figures immediately disappeared from the stage.
They were in a storage room at the back of the hall when they appeared again. They could still vaguely hear noises coming from the stage, but Si Sheng and Xu Sili didn’t have the heart to care about those people any longer.
Si Sheng carried the young man to sit on a table. He casually set up a barrier, and cast wind magic, causing the debris on the table to fall to the ground.
In the midst of all the noise, he pressed the young man down and kissed him passionately and tenderly, not giving him any chance to resist.
Xu Sili didn’t resist or struggle at all. He responded to the man’s kiss more passionately than ever before. In this type of skin-to-skin contact, it felt like their hearts were closer again.
It wasn’t known how much time passed before Si Sheng seemed to have enough of the kiss. He slowly loosened his strength and changed it to a loving kiss.
Xu Sili was lying on the table, his silver hair spread out. His cheeks had long been dyed a bright color, and his lips were slightly swollen.
He was breathing softly and there was a charming smile in his misty purple eyes.
“Are you happy?”
He cupped the man’s face, tilted his head back and pecked him on the lips.
Si Sheng’s gray-blue eyes stared at him deeply, and he actually smiled when he heard Xu Sili’s words.
Such a bright smile was rarely seen on his face.
“Yes,” he said with a smile. “I am a man with a status now.”
Xu Sili couldn’t help laughing. Then he remembered that he had asked Si Sheng to be his lover before, and suddenly felt distressed.
He didn’t say anything but kissed the man’s lips gently. The kiss wasn’t as passionate as before, but it seemed to carry a deeper and stronger affection.
Si Sheng responded to him and the two of them kissed for a long time. Once they separated, he lowered his voice and said hoarsely, “Let’s go back to the palace…”
It was obvious what he wanted to do.
Xu Sili stretched out his hand to hook around Si Sheng’s neck. His beautiful purple eyes reflected the man’s figure and he smiled gently. “Why not… here?”
