When Bai Luo Yin went back to his dorm a day before he was scheduled to return to his unit, Gu Hai naturally accompanied him. Somehow, this visit was significantly different from the previous two. Without seeking Bai Luo Yin's permission, Gu Hai entered the room and adopted the attitude of a young master. All the while, he took it upon himself to shoo the rightful owner out.

Honestly, Gu Hai was not making himself out to be someone of great importance, he simply believed that Bai Luo Yin's room was not a place that one could live in.

Like a military orderly, Gu Hai turned the room inside out and cleaned everything at least once. When Bai Luo Yin attempted to get involved, he would be scolded instead. "You can stay over there! There's nothing for you to do over here."

With that, Bai Luo Yin could only stand outside and foolishly watch as Gu Hai threw away all the things he considered to be treasures.

"Hey! Let me tell you, Xiao Wu Xin bought that humidifier for me just before the end of the year."

It would have been better if those words have not been said since Gu Hai, at most, would only have thrown it out—but after he said it, the item was immediately smashed on the ground without mercy.

"Even the ashtray, huh?" Bai Luo Yin questioned as he walked over and regrettably picked it up from the ground.

Gu Hai leaned against the doorframe and looked at Bai Luo Yin with an overcast expression. "Throw that away, now!"

Still fucking holding on to it as if it's a treasure. Seriously, what kind of life did he live for the past eight years?!

While Bai Luo Yin stood outside the door, some soldiers and officers would pass by the corridor from time to time, and some would even greet him, making him feel as though he had lost face. Whether good or bad, he was still a battalion commander in charge of several hundreds of people—but now, because of his sanitary problems, he was being scolded by a civilian and had no strength at all to counter him.

By the time Gu Hai was nearly done tidying everything up, Bai Luo Yin entered the room only to see Gu Hai rolling up his blanket.

"You're throwing away the blanket as well?" Bai Luo Yin said, stopping him.

"What's the point of waiting when we can just throw it out?" Gu Hai kept a calm demeanor. "Touch it yourself, can't you feel how damp it's become? Aren't you afraid of lice covering your body if you sleep with this on you?"

When Bai Luo Yin touched it, it was indeed rather damp. Why didn't I feel it before?

"It's not necessary to throw away the woven mat[1], right?" Bai Luo Yin asked once he noticed that Gu Hai had removed the woven mat from the bed planks.

Gu Hai stopped for a moment and shot Bai Luo Yin a glance from the corner of his eye. "Don't even mention the mat, I have to change this bed too!"

"This is army property. It can't be thrown away just because you say so!"

In the end, even Bai Luo Yin—a soldier with the rank of Major—lost all his prestige in front of his man.

Even as those words trickled into Gu Hai's ears, his expression did not change in the slightest, instead he even used his fist to jab Bai Luo Yin's forehead.
