HAPPY FRIDAY (or SATURDAY) !!

—

"Cheers!"

As the cold winds whistled outside, two people have taken shelter inside Bai Luo Yin's dorm, happily drinking rice wine. With the door and window tightly locked, the curtains completely closed, and a hot pot braving the scathing heat, the entire room was permeated by smoke and full of warmth.

Gu Hai was looking at Bai Luo Yin's face—that had become bright red from the heat—as he ate with an insatiable appetite.

"Eat slowly," Gu Hai said before he picked up some meat and placed it in Bai Luo Yin's bowl. Then he softly asked, "Did you not eat your fill for the last few days?"

"Eat my fill?" Bai Luo Yin bitterly retorted, "I didn't eat at all!"

Hearing that, Gu Hai's eyebrows and he looked at Bai Luo Yin while feigning anger.

"It's not like there's no kitchen here. Just do what we're doing now. Just going out to buy a bit of ingredients, sesame sauce and lamb meat to make hot pot to eat can't be that troublesome, can it? You're an adult now, how can you let yourself starve?"

"I don't know how to make it," Bai Luo Yin said between mouthful of food without even lifting his head.

Gu Hai began to feel slightly helpless, "This doesn't any skills! Just put the ingredients into the pot and pour some water in. Once the water boils, just put in the meat. You can't do any of that?"

Bai Luo Yin deliberately opposed him and continued to stubbornly say, 'I can't.'

"What can you do then?" Gu Hai reached out to grab Bai Luo Yin's head toward him—then in a loving and spoiling manner—his breath caressed the side of the other person's ear. "You only know how to be mad at me?"

Bai Luo Yin cheerfully turned his head away, "Yes!"

After a bit more wine, Gu Hai somehow saw a bit of silliness in Bai Luo Yin's eyes. Bai Luo Yin's side profile was in front of him; a perfect silhouette with heroic features, and even the way he swallowed appeared charming.

Once he felt a moisten peck on his cheek, the chopstick in Bai Luo Yin's hand halted. He tapped Gu Hai's bowl and kind-heartedly reminded him, "Hey! Tell me, where are all the meat in the pot? Did you eat it all?"

With a mischievous smile, Gu Hai pulled open Bai Luo Yin's collar. "I don't want to eat meat, I want to suck for milk."

Bai Luo Yin shuddered and ruthlessly kicked Gu Hai away before he angrily shouted, "If you say another despicable word, believe it or not, I'm going to shove your head into the pot?"

Gu Hai smiled while grabbing some food then as he ate with joy, he said, "Yin Zi, watching you eat is a type of happiness for me."

Bai Luo Yin's heart skipped a beat, moved by the simple words of the person before him. Isn't it the same for him? Before...when Gu Hai was not with him, it did not matter what he ate since it was nothing more than filling his stomach. But now that the person is beside him, all the bad habits have also intruded one by one. First would be to decide on what to eat, then where to eat and who to eat with, as if eating a meal was a grand matter. The reason why he has not eaten anything for the past few days was not because he was being picky—but because there was one less person—he suddenly does not have any appetite anymore.

As expected, people cannot live a good life. When one has suffered through too many hardships, the senses will also have become benumbed. But once one has experienced the good days, one never would want to suffer even the slightest hardship ever again.
