There was a moment where Huo Ming Chen could not speak. He closed his eyes and leaned against Lu Qi’s chest. One of his hands grabbed his crutches, the other discreetly held onto Lu Qi’s shirt collar while he listened closely to that heartbeat beneath him beating faster and faster. The man was walking very fast, but Huo Ming Chen felt like not even a second had passed. When he opened his eyes again, they were already at the entrance of their home. He patted the keys out of Lu Qi’s pockets as he unhappily mumbled, “Why did you walk so fast? There wasn’t even a wolf chasing after you.” Lu Qi lightly shook his head and shuffled him up, voice huffing a little, “No, there wasn’t but you’re a bit heavy. If I don’t walk any faster, I wouldn’t have been able to move at all.” Huo Ming Chen: “……” Huo Ming Chen was very displeased at how useless Lu Qi was and opened the door, “You useless fighting idiot. I’m so light, so thin that I’m only bones right now.” The man did look quite thin, but Lu Qi did not want to admit that he was too useless. He randomly found an excuse, “Mhmm, you aren’t heavy. It’s the crutches that are too heavy.”

Huo Ming Chen gave him a glance and purposefully dropped his leg on Lu Qi and pointed at his injury, “This is the victorious result of saving you. You have to be responsible for caring for me for the rest of my life.” Lu Qi lightly laughed and glanced at him from the side, “Don’t look at me. I’m counting on you to provide for me for the rest of my life.” Huo Ming Chen immediately had a smile on his face, one that made his eyes curve up into half moons and made it hard for others to see through his thoughts. He patted Lu Qi’s shoulder hard and elongated his words, “Alright~ Not just for the rest of your life, but for the rest of your next ten lives is fine as well.” Lu Qi looked at him and thought that he was really like a child, sometimes mad, sometimes laughing, “Are you hungry? I can go make something for you?” Huo Ming Chen shook his head,
