FUCK YOU

OK FINE

XIAO SAID HE LIKES ME, YOU DUMBASS

OH

OHH OMG

hey you should be thanking me

NOT calling me a dumbass 😒😒

what wdym

i helped xiao figure out his feelings for you 😋

huh

wait really...

yes

you owe me 1k mora for that

WTF NO

you helped xiao, ask him not me

but he has no spare mora

too bad then 😹

besides, i already gave you mora for helping me the other day geez

yeah dw i'm just kidding

but congrats tho

are you guys dating now

thank you

and yes we are

WOO

took you guys long enough sheesh

i wasn't expecting it at all bro

i was not mentally prepared for that

but aren't you happy

yeah of course

was just surprised, is all

so. anything else interesting happen 🤨⁉️

uhh no i don't think so

did you guys kiss yet

or are you taking it slow

omg have you held hands yet 🥺🥺

it's actually very awkward rn

idk how relationships even work bro and i'm pretty sure xiao doesn't either

don't worry, you have me to help you

you know how relationships work??

well no, but how hard can it be

i've seen plenty of romance tv shows

so i'm basically a professional

right...

but we are probably taking it slow

makes sense

i bet xiao would freak out after like one hug

STOP

leave the poor guy alone

i'm just joking!!

am i wrong tho 👻

IDK

but anything he does is cute so i'm ok with it

best of luck

still don't know how you even fell for xiao...

who wouldn't fall for him tbh

of course you'd say that.

you should randomly hug him, it'd be funny seeing his reaction

i don't want to give the poor guy a heart attack

he wouldn't mind

probably

only one way to find out 😋

that's the spirit 👻

but thank you y/n

for y'know, being there for the guy

at least now, he won't feel completely alone

and neither will you

woah... since when did you get so philosophical

HEY SHUT UP

i try being nice for once and this is what i get

I'M KIDDING

YOU JOKE ALL THE TIME, WHY CAN'T I⁉️

bcuz you aren't me, duh

wow

but on a serious note

thank you too, hu

you've done a lot for us

this is so corny, pls go back to insulting me

ok loser 😹👍

"Are you done talking to her yet?" Xiao frowned while crossing his arms.

You placed your phone inside of your pocket. "Yeah... sorry but I had to tell Hu about it. It's kind of a big deal."

"It's fine, I guess," he said. After the confession, Xiao offered to walk you home and you, of course, agreed to it.

You were both currently standing in front of your house.

"Uh— would you like to come inside?" You offered him.

He shook his head. "I would but I need to get back home. Zhongli is probably wondering why I'm so late."

"Oh ok then. Though, I think that's for the best."

"What makes you say that?" He asked, raising a brow.

"My parents will be coming home soon and they'd see you. Then they'd ask a bunch of annoying questions," you explained briefly.

Xiao seemed a bit surprised at first but then went back to his nonchalant expression. "I'd like to meet your parents one day," he said while averting his eyes from you.

"What... no you don't, trust me."

He nodded his head and smiled. "Whatever you say then, Y/n. Though, I should go now. It really is getting late," Xiao sighed while stuffing one of his hands in his pocket.

"Yeah. I guess so," you frowned, clearly not wanting him to leave yet.

Another soft smile was plastered onto the male's face as he let out a small chuckle. "I'll see you later then, Y/n." Xiao bid farewell while gently patting your head.

After he turned around, you recalled Hu Tao's words. And at that moment, you wanted to hug him. But you weren't sure if that was a good idea or not. Especially since you didn't know how Xiao would take it.

But nonetheless, you closed your eyes, took in a deep breath, and quickly ran up to him, embracing the male from behind.

You could feel Xiao's entire body stiffen the moment you hugged him. His eyes widened as his whole face turned beet red.

You opened your eyes to take a look at him, but he refused to turn and look back at you. He was far too embarrassed to.

You smiled at how flustered he became just by one hug. You knew he was shy but you didn't know he would be this shy.

Xiao cleared his throat and straightened his back, trying to regain his composure.

Your smile widened. "Goodbye, Xiao."

You felt him sigh as he finally turned his head to look at you.

"Goodbye, Y/n," he mumbled quietly before averting his gaze from you once again.

And with that, you released him from the embrace and instantly saw relief appear on his face. The poor guy was about to completely lose his cool if you had hugged him any longer.

You waved at him as he continued walking away, tints of red still remaining on the boy's cheeks.

You sighed in relief. The both of you finally felt a sense of peace after so long.

But an uneasy feeling still remained within you for a reason you did not know of.
