Summary: “Gege, Want to get married and move in together?” Xie Lian’s head shot up to look at Hua Cheng, his mouth slightly open in surprise. Hua Cheng looked back with a small grin and a glint in his eye. But it turned into an awkward smile as Xie Lian didn’t reply and just kept staring silently. “...uhm, for financial benefits of course.” Or, Xie Lian and Hua Cheng run into Shi Qingxuan who tells them about some of the advantages that come with being married. Hua Cheng decides to ask Xie Lian if he might be interested in getting married. For these benefits only, of course...
I always adore fics that center queerplatonic or other apsec relationships, and this was a really cute one! I love how Hua Cheng tries to backpedal over his effective proposal but they end up just going for it, it was so cute.
Please consider leaving a comment on the fics you enjoy, too!
