Su Mo kissed Chi Yu behind the ear and said, “You don’t need to do that again.”
Then he told Chi Yu the good news he had received this morning.
Chi Yu had already guessed it, or Su Mo would’ve definitely disappeared by now.
“That…”
His face was flushed, his ears turned red and his wet eyelashes trembled slightly. “Do you want to help me… continue?”
“Of course,” Su Mo whispered in his ear, nose gently brushing against his burning cheek. Then as if remembering something, he said, “However, I still can’t see.”
Chi Yu pursed his lips. So Su Mo couldn’t see but could still figure it out…
Chi Yu didn’t know why but he felt a strange thrill.
“Um.”
Chi Yu tried to suppress his racing heartbeat, but found it impossible. Su Mo’s simple action was enough to break him.
“You are so cute.”
Su Mo kissed him on the side of the face. His tall body encircled the slender Chi Yu as he felt his lover with his hands.
Chi Yu trembled repeatedly and his breathing became increasingly rapid.
“You… you can’t see…”
He pouted but his voice involuntarily softened, and even ended with a faint sob.
Su Mo felt a tingling sensation in his heart. Chi Yu with red eyes and nose was too tempting to tease.
Finally, with a soft moan, Chi Yu leaned weakly against Su Mo’s chest. His hair was already soaked with sweat and was clinging messily to his forehead.
Su Mo tucked a strand of Chi Yu’s hair behind his ear. Seeing Chi Yu’s satisfied expression, he couldn’t help murmuring, “It is already like this… if in the future…”
Chi Yu opened his eyes, confusing appearing in his red eyes. He asked, “In the future?”
“Yes, when we reach the final step…” Su Mo rubbed his hair, suddenly eagerly anticipating that day.
Chi Yu was somewhat bewildered. Could there be any behavior more intimate than this? He asked the question and heard Su Mo’s soft laughter again.
There was no mockery in his laughter and it made him feel a tingling in his heart, but he still couldn’t help feeling annoyed.
“What are you laughing at?” He frowned.
Su Mo stopped laughing, his gaze gradually turning deep. He said, “We haven’t unlocked the final step yet, but I think it might be possible to let you experience it first.”
Chi Yu was feeling puzzled when his eyes suddenly widened. He felt Su Mo’s fingers…
“Su Mo, what are you doing?”
He frowned in pain, feeling extremely ashamed and angry. Perhaps due to his trust in Su Mo, he didn’t struggle violently. He simply endured the pain silently, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
Su Mo was surprised that this was within the allowed range and was pleasantly delighted. How could he bear to let Chi Yu, who was leaning against him without any defenses, go?
Of course, he had to bully Chi Yu a bit.
Chi Yu’s tightly furrowed brow gradually relaxed, initially showing a mixture of pain and pleasure. Then he slowly became completely immersed in it.
He never imagined that Su Mo could bring him such joy.
His toes curled up involuntarily and he was soaked in sweat. He didn’t realize when Su Mo carried him into the bathroom to clean him up.
By the time he woke up from that blissful state, he was already dry and dressed in clean clothes, nestled on the sofa in the living room with the faint aroma of food wafting from the kitchen.
He just lay there, not thinking about anything. He quietly waited in the bright and clean house, enveloped in a feeling of happiness.
Soon, the noise in the kitchen subsided.
Chi Yu turned his head to look at the kitchen doorway. Sure enough, the tall figure of the black-haired youth appeared in his line of sight. Su Mo carried a steaming breakfast in his hand and placed it down on the table.
He took off his apron as he walked towards Chi Yu. “Are you ready to eat?”
Chi Yu looked at him, slowly sat up and sat down at the dining table with the other person.
Su Mo sat opposite him and laid out a sumptuous breakfast. Bathed in the morning light, he was gentle and charming, yet he possessed a different type of allure than usual.
Chi Yu couldn’t quite put his finger on what was different, but after that intimate moment, the distance between them seemed to have grown even closer.
“Just now… did you like it?” Across from him, Su Mo asked teasingly with a smug smile on his face.
Chi Yu pursed his lips, but he had to admit that he really liked Su Mo, who was laughing heartily at this moment.
He didn’t speak but simply reached out and pulled Su Mo’s hand over, gently kissing the back of his fingers.
Su Mo’s heart skipped a beat. It was a very light kiss but he felt a strange burning sensation, as if it was being branded into his heart.
He coughed lightly and only reluctantly withdrew his hand after Chi Yu released him.
However, Chi Yu looked completely unconcerned. He said, “So this time, the conditions were met in just six months?”
“Um.”
Su Mo nodded. Then he heard Chi Yu say, “The final step you mentioned…”
Seeing Chi Yu’s evasive gaze, Su Mo’s mood became even more pleasant. He smiled and said, “It should still be around six months. We can just wait another six months.”
Chi Yu thought for a moment before asking, “Then… can you take off that outfit of yours now?”
Su Mo’s smile froze. He turned his back and after a rustling sound, turned back somewhat dejectedly. He shook his head and said, “No.”
Chi Yu didn’t say anything and continued eating with his head down.
Su Mo sat opposite him. He hesitated for a while and finally couldn’t help taking out a small box from his backpack.
He placed the small box on the table, gently pushed it in front of Chi Yu and opened it.
Chi Yu was stunned after just one casual glance.
Inside the small black box was a silver-white ring with a red gemstone set on top. It looked dazzling and beautiful.
“Ah Mo, what is this?”
Chi Yu recalled a custom he heard once from a brave. In the braves’ world, giving a ring meant…
“Xiao Yu, will you marry me?”
Su Mo was very nervous, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Chi Yu was warm and sincere.
“I’ve actually hesitated for a long time. I really want to settle down with you and make a lifelong commitment to you. However, I am restricted by the rules of the world so I haven’t been able to.”
He paused before continuing, “Then today, we made such a breakthrough and I feel like I have to take responsibility for you.”
Su Mo pulled Chi Yu’s hand over and held it in both his hands. “I want to keep you by my side. I want to firmly engrave each other’s names in our lives.”
“I know that there are still many uncertainties in the future, but it has been an hour and a half. I think I’ve proven that this isn’t a passing impulse. I really want to be with you because… I love you.”
“Chi Yu, will you be my partner? I will do everything in my power to bring you happiness for the rest of my life.”
Chi Yu felt that today was a day full of surprises. He never thought Su Mo would propose to him.
He thought for a moment before asking, “Don’t you think we should choose a more romantic time and place?”
Su Mo froze, instinctively taking the words as a rejection. He lowered his head, took back the box containing the ring and said dejectedly, “Then I’ll try again next time.”
Chi Yu looked at him, shook his head and reached out to take the small box. Under Su Mo’s gaze, he put the ring inlaid with a red gemstone on the index finger of his left hand.
“How could you give something away and then take it back?”
He smiled and said, “Okay, I agree.”
Su Mo stared at him blankly before suddenly realizing what Chi Yu said.
“Ah, you agreed?” He asked rather foolishly.
Chi Yu saw his dazed expression and couldn’t help smiling, his expression a bit embarrassed.
“You don’t want me to say yes?”
“Of course not!” Su Mo hurriedly shook his head. He looked at Chi Yu, suddenly grabbed his hand and took off the ring.
Chi Yu frowned slightly but didn’t rush to say anything. Then he watched Su Mo’s trembling hand slip the ring onto his ring finger. Finally, Su Mo looked at him.
“This ring has a protective magic circle. If you encounter danger, just infuse magic power into it and it will generate a protective shield to protect you in my place.”
Looking at Su Mo’s solemn expression and deep, dark eyes, Chi Yu once again found himself captivated, completely unable to extricate himself.
How could he not reciprocate when someone loved him like this?
He stroked the ring that Su Mo had personally put on his finger and chuckled. “IF that is the case, you should’ve taken the ring out sooner.”
Su Mo blinked. Then he realized the meaning and said with some annoyance, “Ah, that is true. This way, you could’ve been protected sooner.”
Hearing him say that, Chi Yu shook his head.
“I’ve always been protected and safe thanks to you.” He said earnestly, “Ah Mo, I hope you can continue to protect me like this in the future.”
Su Mo’s expression softened and he felt a sweet warmth in his heart. In the past two years, Chi Yu had indeed suffered no harm under his protection.
The foundation of all this was him staying by Chi Yu’s side almost every day, never leaving him.
Su Mo smiled and said, “Of course. Every day from now on, I will protect you and cherish you, just like before, and make you happy every day.”
“I will feel happy as long as you are happy.”
Chi Yu could sense the sincerity in Su Mo’s words and his eyes became a bit wet.
He took a deep breath. Suddenly, he stood up, walked around the dining table, opened his arms and hugged Su Mo. “How can I be so lucky to have met you?”
Su Mo hugged him tightly. “I should be the one saying that.”
Despite the many problems between them and despite the fact that they were separated by the real and virtual worlds, Su Mo didn’t want to dwell on this. He only knew that he deeply loved the person in front of him and only wanted to love him.
“Shall we go register right now?”
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Su Mo released Chi Yu and said hastily, “Let’s postpone the wedding until after we register!”
In any case, he had already met Chi Yu’s parents and they knew that he and Chi Yu were dating. As for his mother and sister…
He had mentioned Chi Yu, but they didn’t take it seriously once they heard that Chi Yu was an NPC from Starry Sky Age. There was nothing he could do but wait for them to gradually accept it.
Chi Yu looked at Su Mo before finally nodding.
They were destined to spend their lives together. Chi Yu knew that even if they were to separate due to unforeseen circumstances, he would never fall in love with anyone else again.
Su Mo was the person he was willing to love and remember for a lifetime.
