When Gu Yang walked back to Bai Luo Yin's dorm, he saw him leaning against the sofa with half of his face hidden from the lights, while his fatigued appearance exposed hints of mysteriousness. Without any particular expression, Gu Yang went to sit next to him. But when he noticed the floor covered with cigarette ashes, he asked faintly, "Have you been smoking here since I left?"

Bai Luo Yin remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Gu Yang moved his face closer but Bai Luo Yin quickly stretched his hand out to block his approaching lips from touching his cheeks. 

"My face is covered in sweat, don't dirty your mouth."

A flicker of light sped by Gu Yang's eyes, "Can't we change the way we talk to each other?"

"We can." Bai Luo Yin turned to look at him, "If you can carve the image 'Along the River during the Qingming Festival'[1] on an apple for me, then I will talk to you in a friendlier tone."

Hearing that, Gu Yang's expression changed before he took a deep breath. "Then, why don't you go make some midnight snacks for me. I'm hungry!"

Bai Luo Yin walked into the kitchen with a rather tragic appearance. 

Just as he was about to start washing the vegetables, that spiteful and vindictive face appeared at the doorway of the kitchen again. 

"I like food with strong flavors."

Bai Luo Yin's facetious gaze swept toward him for a second. "Strong flavors? How about I stir-fry a dish of white arsenic for you?"

"I don't mind since we'll be eating it together."

"I can't eat with you." Bai Luo Yin diligently stood his ground, "As per my Wing Commander's stern order, I am only allowed to consume pure fat and nothing else."

"Zhou Ling Yun?" When Gu Yang read those three words out loud, his tone clearly carried a gust of aversion and animosity.

Bai Luo Yin disgustedly nodded his head. "Yes. In order to make my muscles more firm and fully developed, he has personally taken to strictly supervising my diet. If my stomach takes in anything other than fat, he will punish me."

"How will he punish you?" Gu Yang asked.

Bai Luo Yin faintly smiled to himself, "Eat raw fat."

Unsurprisingly, Gu Yang still took Bai Luo Yin's words as a joke, but just as he turned around to walk out, a vomiting sound transmitted from behind. Hearing that, Gu Yang turned his head back around only to see that Bai Luo Yin was actually vomiting, and the substances that came out was white oily foam.

"Help me take that thing out of here!" Bai Luo Yin pointed a piece of fatty meat on the cutting board.

Gu Yang picked up that piece of meat and stared at it for a few seconds before swaying it in front of Bai Luo Yin. As expected, he vomited again.

"You're actually not lying?" Gu Yang said to himself.

"Bullshit." Bai Luo Yin said with an agonizing expression, "Hurry up and throw it out."

Surprisingly, Gu Yang complied and threw that piece of fatty meat in the trash bin outside. Then he turned to look at Bai Luo Yin again and asked, "How much fat did you eat today?"

Bai Luo Yin gagged and threw up again.

Gu Yang's expression did not expose a single hint of joy toward Bai Luo Yin's misfortune; contrariwise, it became increasingly ugly.
