When Luo An woke up, Qin Yaozu was once again not in the bed with him. He sighed and stumbled out of the bed to go and try to find him. After getting dresses, he made his way out of the house, his eyes immediately landing on a little puppy sitting in front of the door. He picked it up and pulled a note from behind it's collar. Still holding the puppy, he read the note, walking towards a garden that Tianshi used to stay in. The puppy barked and licked the whole way, making Luo An smile. "Who left you here, little one? Was it a big grumpy man?" he joked. "Was it now?" Luo An looked up and came face to face with said 'grumpy man'.
Qin Yaozu held flowers along with Luo An's favorite candy. The fox was confused but before he could ask, Qin Yaozu began to speak. "You read the note right?" he asked. Luo An nodded. "Yes, I did. It said that I should come to my favorite place in the sect. How did you know it was this one?" Qin Yaozu let out a chuckle. "Well, because this is the place you always came to when Tianshi was alive," he said. "You stayed here with her for hours, didn't you?" Luo An nodded again. "Right."
Luo An set down the puppy, taking the gifts from Qin Yaozu. "What's all of this for?" Qin Yaozu only smiled and kissed his cheek.
"I wanted to ask you something."
"What is it?"
Qin Yaozu looked Luo An deep into his eyes. "Want to get married?" Luo An was taken aback by the question but ended up agreeing. "Yes, I do. I always did." Their eyes never left each other, admiring the other the whole time. Oh how beautiful he is was the thought they shared. The gaze they shared was full of love and adorations. In the end they couldn't hold back and ended up kissing right there on the grass, their knees getting stained green from rolling around. The puppy jumped around them happily until they stopped and Luo An immediately captured it. "Is this another gift?" he asked to which Qin Yaozu nodded. "I knew you'd like it." They shared a few more kisses before leaving, going to change right away.Starting off as enemies, becoming friends after years and then lovers. This was the fate that brought them together. Many things happened between them, yet they stayed together. No matter what, their love was still strong. How could it not? Ever since they met, their lips were meant to join, their hands were meant to hold and their bodies were meant to be one. It took 10 long years for them to finally be together without anything getting in between their love. This was how it was supposed to be. Both of them dressed in red, bowing to each other to seal their relationship and become each other's husbands. As they finally looked at each for the first time as a married couple, both of them got emotional and held each other in an embrace.
It was over. Nobody was going to ruin this anymore. There will be nothing that will do them apart. No pain and suffering. No sadness and grief. Nothing that will make this disappear.Not long after their wedding, they had a daughter. She got the name Hua because she was as beautiful and delicate as a little flower. Getting Qin Yaozu's surname, her full name was Qin Hua. As much as Qin Yaozu protested, Luo An refused to give her his surname as it wasn't even his in the beginning.
The little puppy also got a name. It was 'Yi', just like Luo An's original name. He didn't want to accept it once again but giving it to this small doggie felt like a great way to remember it forever.
As the lovers stepped on edge of a mountain, their eyes fell on the scenery before returning to each other. It was late in the evening, the sun already setting behind the horizon. The wind blew right past them, making their hair flow along with it. "You're still as beautiful as when I have met you," said Qin Yaozu, which Luo An only chuckled at. "Of course I do, I don't age." Qin Yaozu smiled and kissed him. "You're beauty will never vanish," he whispered. "Just like my love for you." Luo An chuckled and kissed his cheek. "Of course. I know that."
"Good, because you're stuck with me forever, my rabid fox."
