Getting back from their stroll, all of them agreed not to mention what had happened anymore as it was unnecessary. After treating Daniel's arm, the day goes on without a hitch. After dinner, since everyone was pretty tired from their flight, at 7 pm it was decided that they would call it day also because there will be a simple gathering tomorrow for Tian Zi's birthday.
Meanwhile, in his room, Fyre rampaged his bag and looked for something. When he had found it, he smiled before taking a deep breath. He finished taking shower and now he planned to visit Tian Zi's room briefly and just hand him the thing in his hand. So without much delay, he momentarily looked at himself in the mirror to fix himself before finally going on his way. Tian Zi's room was just next to his so after stepping out of his room, he was already at the Alpha's door.
Fyre took another deep breath to gather courage before finally knocking on the door which was to his surprise, immediately opened with the Alpha still wet from his shower and his lower half only covered with a towel. Seeing it, Fyre gulped in shock before he quickly turned around and blushed as if he had not seen all of it already.
"Why are you acting shy now? It's not like you haven't seen it already," Tian Zi chuckled and without a second thought grabbed Fyre before pulling him inside his room. In the first place, he wanted to share a room with him but the Omega insisted that they shouldn't. He was planning to visit Fyre's room after showering but the Omega beat him out of it.
"Ack... W-wait, I only came to return something," Fyre stuttered, struggling out of the Alpha's arms. It is true that he had already seen Tian Zi naked but seeing him coming out of the shower, looking sexy and all, how can he not blush? It is the fact that he has already seen it all that he's shy in the first place.
"Return something?"
"Yeah... this..." Fyre hastily replied, slightly pushing the Alpha before swiftly putting a small jewelry box on top of his palms. Tian Zi was puzzled at first because the box was obviously for rings but Fyre was still wearing a ring. He wondered what was the Omega going to return to him when he didn't remember giving it to Fyre.
"Auntie and Uncle gave this to me on the plane... they said it was their engagement ring your father got from your grandparents and now wanted to pass it down to us. She thought we would be the perfect couple to inherit it to continue the legacy... I wanted to decline it but I couldn't so I was hoping you could give it back to them," Fyre explained, as Tian Zi opened the box and two beautiful antique-looking rings came into view. The striking red rubies and the translucent diamonds around them were very captivating but for Fyre, it's too much.
Meanwhile, looking at it, Tian Zi couldn't help but smile knowing that the rings meant that his parents were really wishing both him and Fyre well. Of course, these rings were familiar to Tian Zi and indeed his mother told him long ago that he would give the rings when he planned to marry but at that time he didn't plan to and so he forgot about it until now that Fyre had shown it to him.
"Actually, it's too much for me but I couldn't say it because I know they mean well for us," Fyre added. This was the first time he had seen a ruby in person and considering that it wasn't a small size, he could just imagine how expensive the rings were but Mo Chendong and Laura insisted it to him that he couldn't say no.
"No, this is perfect. I know we already have one but these rings are symbolic so I want us to wear these instead," Tian Zi suggested while holding Fyre's hand before pulling him deeper into his room.
"W-What? But these are very expensive. I can't wear them... can't you just tell your mom we're okay with our current rings," Fyre immediately expressed. He has yet to inquire how much Tian Zi spent on the ring he gave him and now they're wearing the ones given to them which was obviously even more expensive?! He's afraid he won't be able to walk around with such a thing on his fingers.
