Are You Addicted? Volume 2 (FF)

Chapter 1 - Changes Eight Years After

Five hundred years the blue sea turned into mulberry fields (meaning the transformations of the world), eight years in a flash.

For, eight years, Gu Hai and Bai Luo Yin are actually in Beijing. Among the crowd, these two people have been passing each other a few times, but never really met each other.

Today is Bai Luo Yin's death anniversary, Gu Hai went early to Bai Han Qi's house. Bai Han Qi has a new home because of the planned demolition of the old houses where he has lived. The Bai household has now moved to the building. Meng Tong Tian was already in high school. Gu Hai still often comes back to see Bai Han Qi and Aunt Zou. Each time he visits, Gu Hai will stand in front of Bai Luo Yin's portrait drowned in sadness.

Since the Bai household moved to their new home, Gu Hai would personally clean up the rooms. From the day of the move, Gu Hai would help pack Bai Luo Yin's stuff and would argue with the porter each time a package is dropped carelessly to the floor. Bai Han Qi would sometimes look at Da Hai sitting on Bai Luo Yin's bed with a dazed expression. Every time, he was distressed and would shake his head. How much he would like to tell Gu Hai.

Bai Luo Yin is still alive.

In fact, Gu Hai's heart clearly know that Bai Luo Yin is not dead and that he is still alive. There are many times Gu Hai would see Bai Luo Yin in some occasion, but in flash he was gone. Gu Hai clearly knows that this is not an illusion. In addition, Bai Han Qi would always refuse to tell Gu Hai the location of Bai Luo Yin's grave every time he asks reasoning that he do not want to let Gu Hai become too sad as a reason to avoid further question.

At this time, Bai Luo Yin through his own efforts has become a good ground troop battalion commander. During the relief operation on the Wenchuan earthquake, the Pakistan peacekeeping operations, a series of rescue missions, and the army exercise contests, his name has been ringing in the entire aviation forces. But everyone knows the peculiarity of this junior commander, who can sleep without any bed, except that he always brings a pillow, whether it be a business trip or a task. This young major is stern, armed with strong military training, and rarely mentions his family, as if he had no human touch at all. Many people think that Bai Luo Yin was born to be a member of special forces. However, his colonel and closest to him, Liu Chong, knows that Bai Luo Yin repeatedly calls a person's name "Gu Hai" whenever the batallion sleeps together in a tent.

During military joint operations exercises, Bai Luo Yin would led his team. The preparation of the exercise is being carried out in an orderly manner. This exercise fully draws on the experience of the Army. Preparations includes multiple rounds of independent confrontation training model and a thousand method of training systems, highlighting the commanding of combat; planning, command and control training, air collaboration, arms training and integration of new and traditional forces training. These training not only test the new mechanic combat capability, but also to transform the use of tactical innovation results. In short to improve the ability of troops to win the battle.

The headquarters of the command center has a big screen sitting in front of a row of people. The head quarter relied on Gu Wei Ting as the central figure for so many years. Now, Gu Wei Ting is getting old with his hairs graying, but his eyes still reveal a veteran wit and keen. He was proud of his troops and military achievements, but at home he tasted a bitter defeat eight years ago, a complete bitter defeat. He thinks that time can dilute everything, but Gu Hai's feelings for Bai Luo Yin has not even faded with the passage of time. Every time the two meet, the first sentence is "Where is Bai Luo Yin?" Because of this thing, there is also a gap between him and Jiang Yuan.

Gu Hai attended the Central University of Finance and Economics Business School with his own effort after recovering from the accident.

Because of his interest in computer, scholarship from university abroad, and his father's preference, Yang Meng decided to go to a police academy. A few former classmates would often meet privately, but they would not mention about Bai Luo Yin.

Gu Hai studied hard during college. As a result of his outstanding appearance and school performance, there were many girls expressing their love to Gu Hai. But Gu Hai did not even take notice of these girls. His heart, along with the disappearance of Bai Lou Yin, had long completely became frozen.

After his graduation from college, Gu Hai founded his own company in Zhong Guan Cun (a technology hub in Haidian District, Beijing, China). Although this is all Gu Wei Ting's instruction, Gu Hai is not really grateful of his father. Gu Hai whole heartedly devoted his time to work with his college classmate, Yan Yajing. She has a long-time crush with Gu Hai. After graduating from the University, she resolutely gave up other good job opportunities. She decided to work with Gu Hai's company and then step-by-step worked to develop the business and enhance the company through the establishment of the HaiYin Group. The group is headquartered in Zhong Guan Cun. The company motto seemed to be out of tune with this huge group, "HaiYin will be extraordinarily tolerant of your presence." This is the HaiYin Group's concept of customer service.
