Addicted: Book One - The Inquietude of Youth

Chapter 192 - Looking for a PLACE TO STAY

"What can I say for you to be good?" Gu Hai grumbled affectionately, "We've already driven this far. If we were to turn back now, that's just wrong!"

"If we take another route back, we'll be able to see different sceneries."

"It's pitch black, what's there to see huh? Besides, wouldn't it take even longer to go another route?"

Bai Luo Yin hesitated for moment. There was a touch of sadness in his voice once he was able to speak again, "How about we just forget about it? Let's just continue driving west."

Gu Hai looked bitterly at Bai Luo Yin for a while when suddenly his hand slammed on the car.

"Forget it, let's go east!"

Hearing those words, Bai Luo Yin exposed a brightly lit victorious smile.

The two wanted to sit in the same car and have something to eat first before heading out again. It was obvious to see that once the trunk of the car was opened, it was full of food and nothing else. They carried a large bag and sat in the driver and passenger seats to stuff their faces.

Gu Hai took out a small milk carton. But, just as he inserted the straw for a drink, Bai Luo Yin snatched it away and sipped from it in his own mouth instead.

"Look at you! You're so lazy. I have to put the straw in for you just to drink milk."

After saying that, he was about to grab another carton when Bai Luo Yin blocked him. Bai Luo Yin turned his body around and took out a carton of warm milk from inside an electric heating container then passed it over to Gu Hai.

"Drink this."

Gu Hai's expression became slightly sluggish, refusing to take the carton. Noting this rebellious act, Bai Luo Yin shoved it directly into his hands, "You've been starving for so many days, it's best not to drink the cold one."

Silence.

Gu Hai's heart was just like the carton of milk in his hand, warm, to the point that it was burning his insides in flames. Each scarlet flame that flickered radiated heat.

"When did you heat this up for me?"

"Just a moment ago, before we got out of the car. Give it a taste, is it warm enough?"

Complying with Bai Luo Yin's words, Gu Hai inserted the straw and drank a mouthful. There was a small smile at the corner of his lips. With just one taste, he felt that it wasn't milk that he was drinking, instead they were his feelings that have been deeply moved. The look on Gu Hai's face softened as he gently took hold of Bai Luo Yin's head and lay a kiss on his rosy lips. Bai Luo Yin's lips were now covered with those "feelings of being deeply moved"......

After dinner, the two found a hotel to spend the night. Early the next day, they started their journey again. They drove into the night of the following day until they finally reached Qingdao[1]. There, they decided to stay for the time being.

While the cars traveled along the side of the road, Bai Luo Yin could hear the sound of the raging waves reverberating against his ears. As he rolled down his car window, his eyes were met with the endless sea that stretched out into the horizon. Seeing this, Bai Luo Yin was unable to hold back the excitement that welled up at the bottom of his heart. He immediately stopped his car on the roadside and began to walk toward the beach not too far off in the distance.

Gu Hai also stopped his car and followed Bai Luo Yin down.

"It's beautiful."

Only those two words were needed to express Bai Luo Yin's feelings at this very moment.
