Addicted: Book Two - The Raging Flames of Passion

Chapter 55 - At the Cost of Blood

"It didn't work out?" Bai Han Qi looked him with pity, "Why did it suddenly not work out when everything was going well?"

"Our characters are incompatible." Gu Hai explained half-heartedly.

The noodles in Bai Luo Yin's mouth also seemed hard to swallow.

"Ah..." Bai Han Qi let out a heavy sigh, "Young people nowadays are really unreliable when it comes to these kinds of matters. Yin Zi is also the same. He has been set up for more than ten times blind dates, but none of them worked out."

Bai Han Qi's words had successfully caused Gu Hai and Bai Luo Yin to choke in unison.

"More than ten...." Gu Hai's face immediately flashed between seven difference colors. "You're really something."

"What?" Bai Luo Yin protested against the injustice, "Where did those 'more than ten times' come from? How come I didn't know anything about any of it?!"

Aunt Zou glared at Bai Han Qi, "You're also...really something else. Our Yin Zi hasn't even agreed to any of the meeting, yet you still have the guts to say, 'it didn't work out'?"

Bai Luo Yin, "..."

Bai Han Qi argued reasonably, "If I didn't say, 'it didn't work out', then should I say that it was 'successful'?"

Gu Hai, "..."

On their way back home, Gu Hai suddenly said, "I have a feeling that our dad doesn't like me."

"Our dad?" An unconscious smile slowly made its way onto Bai Luo Yin's lips, "You're pretty quick in correcting the way you call my dad."

"I'm not joking with you. I think that our dad's attitude towards me is different from back then. It feels like there is a distance between us now." A hint of grief could be heard from Gu Hai's voice.

Hearing that, Bai Luo Yin tensed up at once. When he turned around to face Gu Hai, he realized that this guy had unexpectedly taken that matter to heart.

"It's not that he doesn't like you. He just doesn't know how to accept you again."

Gu Hai rolled the car windows down and lit a cigarette, smoking it slowly. His expression was somewhat complicated as he continued, "I always feel ashamed to face him. If it wasn't because of me, you and your dad wouldn't have been apart for so many years."

Bai Luo Yin coldly snorted, "If you're going to think like that, then we should just break up."

To his surprise, once that lethal sentence came out, Bai Luo Yin's left cheek was twisted by Gu Hai until it looked like a fried dough twist.

"You can choose to believe it or not, but the next time you say that, I'm going to beat you up."

Bai Luo Yin was consumed with pain as he looked at Gu Hai with annoyance. Before he could retaliate, Gu Hai wrapped his arms around him, hugging him tightly. "Don't use those kinds of words to tease me. I couldn't help but to be scared."

Without saying anything, Bai Luo Yin used the cigarette butt to burn the soft hairs on Gu Hai's nape.

Gu Hai caressed Bai Luo Yin's hair and spoke with a gentle voice, "Yin Zi, I have to go to Hong Kong."

Once Bai Luo Yin heard 'Hong Kong', he immediately knew that the matter was definitely related to Gu Yang.

"What happened to him?"

"What do you think?" Gu Hai snickered, "He's being detained by your Wing Commander of yours! What's more, he has a lot of mess in Hong Kong. Who else can help him handle it besides me?"
