The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward. The gardener put away the pen and paper in his hand and quickly slipped away. Soon, only Su Yang and Xi Ye were left in the greenhouse.
The temperature in the transparent glass room was just right, and the air was filled with the refreshing fragrance of the flowers. The tall man and the handsome boy looked at each other tenderly. If the ugly wild rose in Xi Ye's hand was ignored, perhaps this scene would have been even more beautiful.
Su Yang was not ashamed of saying those words. He spontaneously moved closer to the man and asked, "What do you think?"
Xi Ye looked down at him. The boy in front of him was pursing his lips. The color of his lips was even more gorgeous than the color of the flower in his hand. His cheeks were light pink, and his shimmering peach blossom eyes were looking at him expectantly. This was a vigorous and bold boy.
Xi Yi casually placed that rose to the side, trapping the youth between the transparent material wall and his own arm. His tone immediately became extremely dangerous as he said, "Are you serious, or are you just trying to tease me?"
Su Yang thought to himself, I'm flirting with you seriously. I'm not flirting with you at all!
He blinked and pretended to be innocent. "Of course I'm serious. This rose … although it doesn't look good, it's actually very precious. Grandpa spent two million Star Coins to buy a few seeds. In the entire Galaxy R, only the Huo family has this kind of flower. If you don't believe me, you can search for it …"
Xi Ye stared at his full lips, his heart burning fiercely. A feeling that even he himself could not explain was crazily growing in his heart.
He suddenly let go of his hand as if this beautiful boy was a dangerous thing. "Since it's so precious, you should keep it well."
Su Yang shook his head repeatedly. He tugged at Xi Ye's sleeve and said fawningly, "As long as it's for you, I won't feel bad no matter how precious it is." It was as if he had forgotten that the flower did not belong to him.
Xi Ye was amused by his eagerness. He smiled slightly, but soon said seriously, "If I'm not the person you're looking for …"
Su Yang interrupted him. "You are, you are. I won't be wrong."
He looked so certain that for a moment, even Xi Ye almost believed his nonsense. He believed that he had once appeared in this boy's dream and captured his heart.
It was rare for Xi Yi to be curious. He wanted to know what "he" had done in the dream to make such a proud son of heaven like him so much that even after returning to the real world, he still couldn't let go and was bent on finding him.
Just as he was about to ask, Huo Qi had already heard the news and rushed over. Seeing his precious grandson so close to Xi Yi, his old face immediately darkened.
He walked forward and pulled Su Yang behind him, saying, "This child has been spoiled by his mother. His actions are a bit unreasonable. If he has offended you in any way, please don't hold it against him."
Xi Ye had returned to his usual indifference. He said lightly, "It's okay."
Su Yang tugged at Huo Qi's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Grandpa, I just picked your rose and gave it to someone else. I'll compensate you with a better one another day. Don't embarrass me in front of Xi Ye."
He had finally stopped being so indifferent to him. He could not let his efforts go to waste.
Huo Qi thought for a while before he understood. The roses that his grandson mentioned were the flower seeds that he had bought at a high price. People of his status bought useless things just to prove their wealth and status. In the future, when he talked about it with others, it could be considered an elegant story. Naturally, he would not argue with his grandson over such trivial matters.
What bothered Old Master Huo more was that his grandson had given the flower to Xi Ye and seemed to want to get along with him for a long time. Most importantly, why did he sound so familiar?
Towards Xi Yi, this person, Huo Qi had both respect and fear in his heart.
Xi Yi was one of the Four Great Marshals of the Federation. He was the strongest fighting force in the military, so his reputation should be extremely high. However, the outside world had only heard of his name and not seen him in person. Many people were curious about who this Marshal Xi was, but they didn't know how terrifying this man was.
Huo Qi happened to be on the battlefield. He had seen Xi Ye's real strength and knew how destructive he was. Therefore, he was a little afraid every time he saw him.
Nowadays, people's physiques were divided into four levels. Su Yang's A-level physique was already very strong. The higher S-level physique was very rare. However, based on Huo Qi's experience, Xi Ye's physique must be far beyond S-level. He could not estimate the specific value.
Huo Qi's heart ached for his foolish grandson. With Xi Yi's strong physique, the words that he had whispered in his ear would have reached the other party's ears without missing a single word.
Xi Ye naturally heard it. It turned out that he was just offering the flower to Buddha. He was angry and amused. This child was just casually saying it, but he took it seriously. He was secretly conflicted and lived for more than ten years in vain.
Su Yang did not know that he had made a mistake. Seeing that Huo Qi did not answer, he tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "Grandpa, as long as you help me this time, I can promise you anything. Really."
"…" Huo Qi became more and more embarrassed because he had already noticed that Xi Ye was looking at him with a very sharp and probing gaze.
However, Su Yang still said, "Why aren't you saying anything? If you still don't agree, I … I will stay at your house and not leave!"
This was really a good suggestion. If it were not for the fact that there were outsiders present, Old Master Huo would have made the decision on the spot. It was better to stay for ten days to half a month. It would not be a problem for him to stay for two or three years.
He patted his grandson's hand and gestured for him to look at Xi Ye.
The chattering boy finally stopped talking. His eyes were wide open, and it was obvious that he had suffered a heavy blow. After a long while, he gently bit his lip and said, "I … I remember that I have something to do. I'll leave first."
Xi Ye's lips curled up slightly when he saw the boy running away in a hurry. The smile disappeared in a flash. Old Master Huo secretly thought that he was old and had an illusion.
