They're going somewhere, Xie Lian is driving the ox cart. "San Lang," He starts. "Do you want to get married?" Hua Cheng tenses a little, before replying "Gege's cruel. You said you wouldn't tease me about that." "I'm not teasing." Xie Lian fiddles with his hair. "Do you want to get married?" It's silent for a moment, before Hua Cheng lurches over, tackling Xie Lian in a hug. "I have waited 800 years to simply be near you." He says, muffled into his shoulder. He leans his head back, looking Xie Lian in the eyes, his own eye wet. "Do you really think I would say no?" A few days later, when walking around ghost city, Xie Lian notices Hua Cheng stop walking beside him- turning around to find him kneeling on the ground with a ring in his hand. "I would have proposed with my ashes, but," he laughs. "You already have those."
