Bai Luo Yin barely sat inside the car, when Gu Hai asked him, “What did you do earlier today?”
“Oh, I just went to Aunt Zhou’s place.” Bai Luo Yin replied indifferently.
Gu Hai was able to feel the change in Bai Luo Yin’s mood, he was fine this morning, but why is he in a bad mood after he came back? Who have made my wife upset? Gu Hai stretched his hand out to fiddle with a few strands of hair in front of Bai Luo Yin’s eyes, he gently asked, “What happened?”
“Nothing, let’s go now.”
Gu Hai started his car, then he passed a box to Bai Luo Yin.
“What is this?” Bai Luo Yin asked.
Gu Hai strenuously backed his car along the alley, so he didn’t reply Bai Luo Yin. Then Bai Luo Yin looked at the package, it was a phone.
“Why did you buy a phone for me?” Bai Luo Yin asked Gu Hai again, “There’s no need. Just give it to someone else.”
“How can you don’t need it? This morning I couldn’t find you.”
Bai Luo Yin leaned on the passenger seat, he closed his eyes, his voice was tired and sleepy.
“You have money again?”
“I don’t have money.”
Bai Luo Yin opened his eyes, “You don’t have money and yet you still bought this?”
“My god of wealth has returned, right?” Gu Hai meant his cousin.
Bai Luo Yin looked down upon Gu Hai, “You always sponge off other people!”
Gu Hai grinned, his smile was ambiguous, “He gave me money, so I should spend it.”
One man was sitting quietly in front of window inside a luxurious private room in a five star hotel. He wore black suits matched with simple but elegant necktie, the lightning inside the room made the outline of his face became sharper, his face was as if it was covered with a layer of ice frost. Although he heard the sound of a door opened, his expression didn’t change at all.
“Brother, this is Bai Luo Yin.”
That man didn’t raise his eyes, he just replied faintly with an ‘ng’.
“This is my brother, Gu Yang.”
Bai Luo Yin replied Gu Hai in his mind, was everyone in your family born in water? [1]
After they sat properly, the waiters began to serve the foods to their table, everything was a western food. Bai Luo Yin didn’t have any appetite since the beginning, he didn’t touch the foods on his plate, quietly thinking about Aunt Zhou’s matters.
Gu Hai asked Bai Luo Yin, “No appetite?”
Bai Luo Yin then picked his knife and his fork up, “Yes.”
Gu Yang beside him suddenly began to talk, a coldness seeped through his voice.
“Hailuoyin.” [2]
Bai Luo Yin then lifted his head up to look straight at Gu Yang, he was stunned for a moment. His face was really similiar with Gu Hai, only their personalities were completely the opposite.
After Gu Hai heard that, he paused for a moment, it seemed that he just noticed this particular detail.
“Indeed, when you combine our names together it will become a drug.”
It’s a destiny, we infected each other already, don’t even think to guard against it for the entire life.
This dinner was really quiet, Gu Hai seemed like he just wanted to introduce Bai Luo Yin to Gu Yang, without any intention to get them closer. After all, Gu Yang and Bai Luo Yin’s temperament are too similar, it would be very hard for both of them to get along. If Gu Hai wasn’t there and both are them were having dinner alone, they would definitely freeze each other until death.
From time to time, Gu Yang always glanced at Gu Hai. And whenever he does that, Gu Hai’s eyes would always directed toward Bai Luo Yin.
During the dinner, Gu Yang didn’t look at Bai Luo Yin in the eye and he also didn’t have a conversation with Bai Luo Yin. But, Bai Luo Yin could feel that his eyes were always on him. It felt cold, sharp, and harsh. An indistinct sense of intimidation seeped through his gaze.
On the way back, Bai Luo Yin remained silent all along.
Gu Hai could feel that Bai Luo Yin’s mood is really bad, it became even worse than before. He didn’t know if it was because of Gu Yang or not.
“My brother is that kind of shameful person, but his impression toward you is really good.”
Bai Luo Yin didn’t say anything.
Gu Hai saw that Bai Luo Yin’s handsome face still looked displeased, he couldn’t help but to rub it, while coaxing him: “You dont like it when he invited you to dinner? Later when I go back I will scold him for you.”
Bai Luo Yin leaned on the car seat, he closed his eyes, his brain was in a mess.
The car went smoothly on the road, when suddenly Gu Hai slammed the brakes. Bai Luo Yin’s body suddenly swayed. He opened his eyes.
“What happened?”
Gu Hai pointed his finger at the two silhouettes not far from them, he said, “Why do i feel like that woman over there resembles Aunt Zhou so much!”
Hearing Aunt Zhou’s name, Bai Luo Yin’s face immediately changed. He looked outside through the car window, there were three shadows moving around, one man, one woman, and one little kid. At first the kid was with the man, then the woman snatched the kid away from him. After that the man kicked the woman until she fell down, then the man carried the kid in his arms and ran away. The woman stood up and chased the man relentlessly.
Bai Luo Yin suddenly opened the car door and ran out. Gu Hai followed him from behind.
“Meng Jian Zhi, you are not a human. Give the kid back to me!”
While Bai Luo Yin was running quickly, Aunt Zhou was quarreling with Meng Jian Zhi, their son was wailing. Tears with dusts mixed on Aunt Zhou’s face, there was a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth.
“This is my son. Why do I have to give him to you?” Meng Jian Zhi pulled the struggling kid firmly.
Gu Hai’s face turned livid, he snatched the kid with one pull, then gave a kick on Meng Jian Zhi’s face.
Meng Jian Zhi flew for more than 2m because of Gu Hai’s kick, then he fell on the ground and didn’t get up.
Aunt Zhou hurriedly pulled her son into her embrace, she looked at Meng Jian Zhi, speechless.
Gu Hai walked towards Meng Jian Zhi, he grabbed his collar, then suddenly he punched Meng Jian Zhi’s stomach.
Meng Jian Zhi immediately spat two mouthful of bloods.
“Yin zi!” Aunt Zhou shouted, “Stop Da Hai, don’t let Da Hai hit him again.”
Bai Luo Yin pulled Gu Hai, persuading him, “It’s enough, he’s Aunt Zhou’s ex-husband.”
“I can see it.” Gu Hai replied coldly, “It’s because that he’s that son’s father, so I want to hit him.”
Meng Jian Zhi stood up from the ground, he threw himself at Gu Hai, then he grabbed Gu Hai’s leg firmly, didn’t let him go. No matter how hard Gu Hai kicked him, he didn’t let go. His body was wriggling on the ground just like a mudskipper.
“So you still want to blackmail me? Okay then, within three minutes, I will definitely give you your compensation.”
After he said that, Gu Hai took his phone out.
Aunt Zhou carried her son then ran towards Meng Jian Zhi, shouted at him, “You have to go! You can’t afford to offend him! If you still want to live, then go away!”
Meng Jian Zhi still doesn’t let him go.
Bai Luo Yin used his eyes to signal at Gu Hai, asked him to wait for a while.
“Go quickly!”
Aunt Zhou shouted again, while her son crying loudly.
Meng Jian Zhi unwillingly stood up from the ground, he glared at Gu Hai fiercely, swearing full of hatred: “You just wait for me, all of you just wait for me!”
After he said that, he walked with a limp toward the east.
In the car, Aunt Zhou was still holding her son, unable to recover from the fright. She nestled closely to her son, feeling his existence, afraid that at the next second someone would snatch her son away from her again.
Gu Hai looked at them through the rearview mirror, suddenly he remembered about his mother who had passed away.
She loved him, she pampered him, she treasured him. He also had those days when he and his mother depended on each other. He could feel the importance of Aunt Zhou for her son, it was like how his mother was important for him too.
Eventually, this matter couldn’t be hidden from Bai Han Qi anymore.
Gu Hai finally started the car and drove Aunt Zhou and her son to Bai Luo Yin’s home.
Since this man appeared, Aunt Zhou and her son wouldn’t be able to stay by themselves at their house. If there’s a little bit of mistake, the child could be missing. The only person they can rely on is Bai Han Qi. Aunt Zhou had no choice but to tell Bai Han Qi the truth. Bai Han Qi didn’t say anything further, he immediately closed the door and not letting Aunt Zhou go.
“Da Hai, for now let Yin zi stay at your place for a couple of days. You know it too, we don’t have many rooms in this house…” Bai Han Qi felt embarrassed.
Aunt Zhou interrupted with her red and swollen eyes, “We can just stay in the spare room.”
“How can I let you stay in the spare room?” Bai Han Qi frowned his eyebrows, “I’ll stay with the kid, you
stay in Yin zi’s room. If there’s anything just shout for me anytime.”
The kid was in Aunt Zhou’s embrace, “I want to stay with mom.”
Gu Hai pinched that kid’s cheeks, “How old are you? And you’re still sleeping with your mom? Are you not shy?”
Gu Hai pinched him once, he immediately took revenge on him, he stepped on Bai Luo Yin’s foot.
Then he looked at Gu Hai with a provoking expression.
Gu Hai was surprised, this kid is really smart, huh?
“Okay then, let’s do this. Da Hai….” Bai Han Qi patted Gu Hai’s shoulder, “Sorry to trouble you.”
What kind of trouble is this? Gu Hai felt extremely pleased.
Bai Luo Yin looked at Bai Han Qi full of worries, “Do you want me to stay here too? I’ll sleep with you in one room, they can sleep together in one room. Just in case if something really did happen, I can help too.”
Gu Hai’s expression changed, he immediately objected, “I think it’s not necessary, so you don’t believe in Uncle’s strength? Besides, I gave him some kicks already today, it’s enough to make him gone for at least a couple of days. You don’t need to stay here, just go back with me!”
Bai Luo Yin gave a sideways glance at Gu Hai, his intention was too obvious.
Gu Hai remained unyielding, his overwhelming demeanor was like a soldier. He straightened his waist and his back, focusing his gaze on Bai Han Qi, and waiting for his instruction.
“It’s okay, Yin Zi, just go back with Da Hai.”
Gu Hai immediately placed his hand on Bai Luo Yin’s shoulder, grinned broadly as they went out from the house. His smile chilled Bai Luo Yin down his spine.
