"What are you doing outside in such a cold weather?" Gu Hai asked, looking as though he wanted to help Bai Luo Yin get up. "Be good and come back into the room with me. Don't freeze out there."

Bai Luo Yin immediately shook Gu Hai's hand away. "Just let me atone for my sins here. I don't want to suffer any retribution in the future."

When Gu Hai crouched down and looked at Bai Luo Yin with worry—only to notice that he didn't seem to be joking at all—he started to reason with him. "How about this, you can confess your sins to me and I'll help you weigh the severity of it. If I feel that you are guilty of those terrible 'crimes', then you can continue to freeze by yourself here. But if I feel that you can be forgiven, then we'll go back to sleep, alright?"

Bai Luo Yin remained silent for a long while before he finally couldn't hold it in anymore and spoke. "The truth is, I botched that meal on purpose."

Hearing that, Gu Hai's expression suddenly changed since—honestly—he had to drink two barrels of water to wash out the taste because of that meal. Nonetheless, he was still content knowing that it was the first time Bai Luo Yin willingly cooked for him. Never could he had imagined that Bai Luo Yin had tormented him on purpose.

Even though things turned out that way, Gu Hai still gallantly pulled Bai Luo Yin's hand and smiled optimistically. "Isn't that just a trivial matter? I've forgiven you. As long as you made it, I don't care what your intentions were. I'll always be happy."

In the end, Bai Luo Yin still did not stand up—instead, he continued to confess everything that was on his mind. "The truth is, when I saw that Yan Ya Jing had bought the scar reducing medicine for you, I decided to cook for you as a revenge."

Gu Hai was riddled with confusion. "What does her buying medicine for me have anything to do with you cooking?"

"I thought you asked her to buy that medicine for you."

Alright... Gu Hai could also accept that reasoning, albeit with great difficulty. Although Bai Luo Yin harbored suspicions of him but his initial motive was because he cared for him. Hence, Gu Hai understood and accepted the preposterous things he did out of jealousy.

"Also, when you were eating... I recorded you because I wanted to save it. If you happen to piss me off later, I will bring it out to threaten you."

The beautiful moments that Gu Hai regarded as a sacred and glorious time instantly fizzled into empty illusions when Bai Luo Yin accounted his countless wicked intentions.

Nevertheless, Gu Hai was simply a genuine man—after hearing all of that, he could still maintain a calm expression and took to comforting Bai Luo Yin instead. The unbelievable level of his acceptance and tolerance could strike anyone speechless.

"Those aren't serious matter. As long as you confess to me, I will forgive all your mistakes unconditionally. Alright, let's go back and sleep. Don't freeze out here."

Bai Luo Yin was about to get up when he suddenly remembered something. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. That actually...... wasn't the first meal I have cooked."

In just a second, Gu Hai halted his movement of pulling Bai Luo Yin up.

"The first meal that I cooked was eaten by your brother."

Gu Hai, "......"

"And... it also tasted better than this meal."

Gu Hai, "......"
