When Gu Hai found Bai Luo Yin, he was sitting on a small slope not too far in the distant. One of his leg was bent and the other was stretched out satisfyingly. His chest was pressed over the bent legs while his chin rested on that knee. He had an expression of 'don't fucking provoke me' written across his face.
With a dejected and downcast eyes, Gu Hai walked over.
"Get up. Don't sit here, you'll catch a cold." Gu Hai said as he attempted to pull Bai Luo Yin up.
Bai Luo Yin nearly broke Gu Hai's wrist when he harshly swung his hand back. In response to such atrocity, Gu Hai conveniently fell down right on top of Bai Luo Yin, refusing to get off. What Bai Luo Yin lacked in strength now, he made up for in dogged spirit as he rigidly clutched the front of Gu Hai's jacket and bellowed out to the absolutely desolate grassland. "Who let their livestock out in the open? Hurry up and take it away!"
Gu Hai flatly bit onto Bai Luo Yin's shoulder. Feeling the throbbing pain collecting at that spot, Bai Luo Yin ruthlessly smacked Gu Hai's back for a while.
"Fuck off, don't bother me!"
"Then, get up first!" Gu Hai tried to pull him up again.
But Bai Luo Yin adamantly refused as his angry eyes struck him. "Why do you care whether I get up or not?"
Gu Hai's brows rose, "Did someone made you do the laundry or something?"
"Yes."
Bai Luo Yin used his ominous brows to complete his respond to Gu Hai. Then he exerted all his strength to rub against the dirt with the intention of getting dirtier. But as a result, the spot where the seam of his pants was torn got caught on a dry tree bark causing a ripping sound to be heard. The rip reached all the way down to where his leg was bent.
Seeing that, Gu Hai immediately lightened up. He crouched and looked at Bai Luo Yin then caressed his face before speaking with a tender tone. "I was wrong earlier. I should have not said those harsh words. You also know that when it comes to anything involving you, I can't control my anger."
Bai Luo Yin stayed calm without uttering a word.
Gu Hai brazenly moved closer and when his lips met the area above Bai Luo Yin's ear, he rubbed it—each time, adding more strength than the previous. He rubbed until the sensation caused Bai Luo Yin himself to feel his own scalp becoming numb.
"That's enough…it's pointless to make such a thing into a big deal, right? Don't be so shameless."
Fuck! Who was being shameless first? Bai Luo Yin mentally commented. He truly admired Gu Hai's ability to ask for forgiveness while simultaneously shifting the blame to someone else.
When he slightly turned his head to the side, Bai Luo Yin discovered a pit of grass—a pit of grass riddled with sharp thorns that were facing toward the sky, that is! More importantly, those bastards were the very same thorns that had pricked Bai Luo Yin's underpants until it looked exactly like a strainer.
"Fine, I know already. Get up!" Bai Luo Yin said in a bad mood.
Just as Gu Hai let his hand go, Bai Luo Yin suddenly pushed him down into that pit of grass. Immediately after, he seized the chance to press down on Gu Hai and dragged him around for a bit. Gu Hai's entire body rolled inside that disastrous pit in one full roll. By the time Gu Hai managed to get up, he was covered in thorns from head to toe—estimating it visually, there should be several thousand stuck to him.
Knowing full well of what was to come, Bai Luo Yin quickly turned around and made a run for it. He ran and laughed at the same time while Gu Hai chased wildly behind him the entire time. Up and down a hill he went, hiding left and dodging right. When he turned again only to see Gu Hai closing in on him, Bai Luo Yin suddenly leaped up a tree at full force.
Gu Hai furiously yelled at him, "Get the fuck down here!"
Ignoring the person below, Bai Luo Yin climbed even higher.
In truth, Gu Hai was actually feeling bad for Bai Luo Yin, "The tree bark is really rough. Don't rub your hands on it anymore, it'll only hurt. Hurry up and come down."
Bai Luo Yin glanced down at Gu Hai.
"Come on, jump down. I'll catch you." Gu Hai said, stretching his arms out.
"That's enough, stop shitting me!" Bai Luo Yin argued noisily, "You think I'm stupid?! Your body is covered in thorns!"
Gu Hai put his arms down, "Then slowly climb down. I won't mess with you."
"Take a few steps back…a few more…"
When he was able to determine that it was safe enough, Bai Luo Yin took one leap to the other side of the tree which allowed his back to face Gu Hai. When he landed on the ground, a certain "wolf" already peeped through the beautiful view from inside of the pants. The promise that Gu Hai had initially made to not mess around anymore had all been thrown behind his head, simply because of Bai Luo Yin's seductive sharp movement as he stood up.
"Bai Shouzhang."
Hearing that lewd voice from behind him, Bai Luo Yin's body shook involuntarily, and before he even had a chance to react, he was embraced by a body fastened with thorns. Gu Hai's hedgehog-like body draped firmly around him. That didn't matter to Bai Luo Yin. Instead, the most despicable thing was that the person used his thorny sleeves to prick Bai Luo Yin's underwear—the sensation was painful and itchy. Bai Luo Yin was like a mud fish, rubbing, pricking and slipping around as he bore into Gu Hai.
"You fucker! As expected, all businessmen are liars…not a word can be trusted…waaaa…"
In the end, Gu Hai was the one that could not endure it any longer. He quickly restrained Bai Luo Yin before he hinted with a hoarse voice. "Stop rubbing…"
Bai Luo Yin turned his head for a look then quickly took the chance to push him off.
Afterwards, as the two sat beneath a tree, Gu Hai picked out the thorns from his pants while talking to Bai Luo Yin. "These clothes cost several thousands, you know. How could it be ruined like this, huh?! This won't do, you need to pay me back!"
Wearing a roguish expression, Bai Luo Yin simply said, "I can't afford to pay you back."
"If you can't, then sell your body. Let me calculate everything for a second…" Gu Hai started to make some marks on the ground with his finger, "My entire suit cost ¥47,889.[1]Each time you sleep with me will give you ¥30. That means, you have to sleep with me 1500 times, leaving a remainder of ¥2888. With that, we can play SM—¥200 each time, so 10 times is ¥2000. There's still ¥888 left, let's see, roleplaying can be ¥80 each time which would make it ¥800. That leaves us with ¥88, you can use your mouth, ¥8 each time which makes it ¥80. Finally, with the last ¥8, you can just use your hands, ¥1 each time. That way, everything is properly calculated. What do you think?"
Bai Luo Yin put on a fake smile and looked at Gu Hai, "There's no need to go through all that trouble. I'll just help you masturbate 47,888 times!"
Gu Hai reached toward Bai Luo Yin with his embittered hands.
The two messed around for a bit before Gu Hai finally held Bai Luo Yin down.
"Come on, let's switch pants."
"Huh?" Bai Luo Yin did not understand, "Switch for what?"
"Don't worry about that, just switch with me."
Gu Hai pestered him again and again to switch their pants. After much resistant, Bai Luo Yin was still unable to change Gu Hai's mind—he had no other choice but to go along with him. He took his torn pants off and passed it over to Gu Hai.
Just as Gu Hai received it, his eyes shot toward Bai Luo Yin's stark-naked legs and Xiao Yin Zi that hung between. His perfidious-like hand crawled up Bai Luo Yin's inner thighs, sliding up and down for a good while. Bai Luo Yin quivered, his elbow suddenly jabbed Gu Hai before he gave him a warning with a fiendish look. Unfortunately, Gu Hai had already isolated Bai Luo Yin and had only eyes for Xiao Yin Zi.
"Fucking let go, now. Your brother is right there."
"So, what if he's there?" Gu Hai despotically rubbed at Bai Luo Yin's weak spot. "I want to let him see."
As he said that, Gu Hai grabbed Bai Luo Yin's hand, placed it on his own underwear and teased him. "First, start rubbing him for ¥ or else, how are you going to finish paying me off?"
This jerk, Bai Luo Yin couldn't help but to grit his teeth…
Feeling aroused, the two ended up playing around with each other. Suddenly, a voice came pouring in, extinguishing their enthusiasm.
"Why are you two here?" Tong Zhe's deeply astute voice sounded.
Bai Luo Yin immediately swung Gu Hai's hands away, picked up the pants and dragged it up his legs.
Tong Zhe's eyes hovered over Gu Hai's body in astonishment.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing." Gu Hai replied rather calmly. "We're just switching our pants."
Bai Luo Yin stood up, took off his shirt and tossed it over to Gu Hai. "If we're switching, let's switch our entire outfit. If it's matched up like this, it's too fucking dumb looking."
As a result, Gu Hai put on Bai Luo Yin's camouflaged aviation outfit while Bai Luo Yin wore Gu Hai's suit. With that switch, their temperaments seemed to have instantly changed.
To the side, Tong Zhe quietly said, "I noticed that you two actually look quite stylish wearing each other clothes. Perhaps, you should really swap places and live the others' lifestyle."
As Bai Luo Yin walked passed Tong Zhe, his eyes briefly lifted before he spoke with a tepid tone.
"You have pretty good eyes."[2]
Tong Zhe smiled yet there didn't seem to be any traces of it.
After Bai Luo Yin walked ahead into the distant, Tong Zhe looked at Gu Hai and asked, "How come Gu Yang is here?"
Gu Hai lightly sighed, "That fighter jet he was in also got shot down!"
Tong Zhe, "…"
By the time the three—Gu Hai, Bai Luo Yin and Tong Zhe— appeared in front of him, Gu Yang finally realized that it was not a coincidence at all, but that guy had actually betrayed him.
"I see…" Gu Yang let his eyes impale Tong Zhe, "I've just known now that your hometown is Shandong."
Tong Zhe took a deep breath and said indifferently, "I'm sorry, Gu Zong. I've decided to leave your company."
Although Gu Yang's expression did not change much, but that in itself was certainly a perilous signal—the violent surging up in his 'seemingly calm' eyes could be clearly sensed by anyone. Stealing my company's goods and transferring the funds out…those I can ignore, but to also snatch away the only person I trusted in Hong Kong…
Gu Hai, all these years of you calling me brother were certainly not in vain!!
Seeing Gu Yang's exceptionally calm demeanor, Bai Luo Yin couldn't help but to remind him, "Don't forget the agreement between us."
"Why didn't you tell me beforehand that Tong Zhe also came along?" Gu Yang's demonic eyes aimed straight at Bai Luo Yin.
Bai Luo Yin innocently answered, "I just met him. Plus, since he leaped out with the parachute before us, I didn't know if he was dead or alive so why would I mention him to you?"
Gu Yang's face froze as he went silent.
Bai Luo Yin coughed lightly, "Gu Xiao Ge[3], you won't go back on your words, right?"
With a twitch, Gu Yang's eyes flew toward Gu Hai and Tong Zhe, looking between the two for a few seconds. Suddenly, the expression in his eyes vaguely shifted. As if he realized something, a hint of derision bore grimly at the corner of his lips.
"No, why would I go back on my words? We're all a family. There's no difference whose company he's in, right?"
Then, he tossed Bai Luo Yin an especially meaningful glance.
"I wish you good luck."
On the way back, Bai Luo Yin faced Gu Hai and asked, "How exactly did you convince Tong Zhe to come to your side?"
"I thought Tong Zhe really resembled you. I told him the reason my brother thought highly of him was because he was using him as a substitute."
Bai Luo Yin revealed an embarrassed yet distressed look, "What's the truth?"
"The truth…even I don't know that." Gu Hai spread out his hands and slightly shrugged his shoulders.
The flat space between Bai Luo Yin's brows pleated, the more he pondered, the odder everything seemed.
"…I've discovered that in all of this, you came out with the most advantages. You're actually the biggest winner!"
Gu Hai resisted a smile with great difficulty, "What advantages did I obtain?"
"Just think about it, how many people were implicated in this matter? Four, right? Within those four, who wasn't tormented? Who didn't suffer any losses? If we were to calculate everything, you're the only fucking one!!!"
"A fool's luck." Gu Hai's smile was simple and honest.
"A fool, my ass!!! You are the most deceitful!!"
