Sorry for the lateness, I was engrossed in the mess that is the US presidential election....let's just say, I'm highly upset. 

But, this chapter brought my spirit up a bit. Maybe you'll have a nosebleed, maybe you won't lol <3 Have a good night~

As always, THANK YOU for reading and enjoying the journey with our NAUGHTY boys:

GU HAI & BAI LUO YIN

《你丫上了》

Chapter 171: The CALL FINALLY went THROUGH

After constantly being on the move for the entire day outside, Gu Yang finally dragged his exhausted body back home. Entering, he immediately removed his heavy coat and hung it neatly on the clothes rack. As he casually slipped his finger beneath the knot of his necktie and loosened it, he intended to take a nice and hot shower first before anything else.

Passing through the studio, he glanced inside for a moment and noted that Gu Hai was not there. He entered the room for a look around and noticed that the tasks he had given to Gu Hai before he left earlier this morning had already been completed. By now, he figured that Gu Hai must have returned to his own bedroom to rest.

Since everything seemed to have gone smoothly for the day, Gu Yang leisurely entered the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of water splashing about almost sporadically from the bathroom, Gu Hai popped his head out from the kitchen and took a glimpse around. Apparently, the fascist was taking a shower. Thus, for the sake of showing his appreciation toward this lonely man that had spent his entire day bustling about outside, tirelessly getting all his work done, Gu Hai decided that today he will personally cook a delicious meal for him. And at the same time, giving him a chance to experience the warmth of a family.

When Gu Yang was showering, he could smell the savory aroma of a home cooked meal seep through the cracks of the door and into his nostrils. It had the kind of smell that carried with it a motherly touch that had long been absent from his life. Staying abroad for so many years, he had little to no opportunity at all to eat authentic Chinese cuisine. Even if he had the raw ingredients to cook it himself, he was still unable to make that kind of simple yet rich in flavor kind of dishes.

"What's going on today?" Gu Yang wrapped himself in a huge bathrobe and leaned against the kitchen door. Looking a Gu Hai busying himself, he began to scrutinize him, "Are western food that hard to eat? Must be if it forced someone like you to go into the kitchen and cook for yourself."

Even as those words spun around in his ears, Gu Hai continued to methodically handle his task in an orderly manner before calmly stating a simple fact, "I've always cooked my own meals at home."

In regards to this matter, Gu Yang was aware of it to some extent, yet nevertheless, he had continuously maintained a skeptical attitude towards it. But today, his doubts were proven wrong. As he stood there, he actually witnessed the scene of someone's big hands, obviously unsuitable for cooking, handling the kitchen knife with much skill and ease. The sound of the knife hitting the cutting board resounded from the long unused chopping board. A moment later, even and slender slices of cucumber were placed onto the prepared plate beside him.

Gu Yang's visage revealed astonishment. When he was home just a year ago, Gu Hai was still clumsy and awkward.

Who on earth possess such powerful skills to train this valiant and fearless man into an honest, considerate and diligent househusband in just a year?

"Go out first, it's not good to be exposed to the smoke." Gu Hai kindly reminded him.

Without batting an eyelid, Gu Yang calmly left the kitchen.

Twenty minutes later, a few small plates of appetizers were served at the dining table. Even better, there were also a pot of chicken soup that had been simmered for two hours, as well as several brown slices of meat patties. Arranged neatly on both side of the table was a bowl and a pair of chopsticks.

"Let's eat." Gu Hai readily said.

Gu Yang's movements were slightly shaky when he picked up the chopsticks. He took a piece of thinly sliced beef and tasted it; a thick and strong flavor of seasoning entered his mouth. Instead of being oily, it truly satisfied his yearning for good food. If lard were used instead of olive oil, perhaps the flavor would become a bit more authentic.

"It's not bad." Gu Yang casually complimented him, but in truth he was downplaying his praise.

Gu Hai ate boldly and freely; typical of a man from northern China, where every bite was honest and straightforward. But as for Gu Yang, he ate calmly and leisurely as he assumed the appearance of a man who had no appetite. Most likely, this behavior was formed because he had been accustomed to eating western food for years on end.

Observing him strenuously from the side, Gu Hai was nearly finished eating, however the other person bad barely touched anything with his chopsticks. Taking note of this, he immediately snatched Gu Yang's bowl away, placed a lot of food into it, then shoved the bowl back to him, hinting at Gu Yang to eat everything.

Gu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Gu Hai before he began to question his motives, "Why are you suddenly in the mood to cook today?"

"Weren't you the one that said this? No matter what, the days will still pass by. I can't just eat those sweets and greasy foods all day long." As those voice escaped his mouth, a smile finally emerged on Gu Hai's face. Not surprising at all, this was the first smile that painted his lips in the past few days, "Besides, you've never tried my food before, right? This meal is especially made for you. I noticed that you've been very tired these days, so I wanted to express my appreciation."

Gu Yang's watchful eyes drifted away from Gu Hai's face for a moment, then he faintly smiled, "There's no need to bribe me, I won't lend you the cellphone."

Gu Hai was surprised at first, then he laughed, not in the least concerned, "What do you take your brother as? You're away from home all day long. If I really wanted to make a phone call, I could've slipped away at any given time to make a call. Why would I lie to you just to use the phone?"

The strong tone of Gu Yang's words, emphasized the underlying meaning behind them, "You better keep it that way."

After dinner, the two entered the studio and diligently work on their own task in silent. Every so often, Gu Hai would secretly lift his lids up and scan Gu Yang's appearance for a while. During that time, Gu Yang would incessantly knead his temple and yawn, exhaustion was surely raining down on him.

"If you're tired, then go to sleep first." Gu Hai knocked on the table beside Gu Yang.

Trying his best to keep his eyes open, Gu Yang grabbed the coffee cup at the side and took a sip before listlessly replying, "I'm fine."

Half an hour later, Gu Yang had completely lost consciousness.

Gu Hai's evil scheme prevailed. He patted Gu Yang's cheek for a while and seeing that he didn't respond, he happily said, "You're not the one who has the final say in whether or not you will actually lend me the phone."

Humming a joyous tune, he stealthily infiltrated Gu Yang's bedroom. After rummaging around for a few minutes, he soon found the allegedly specially made phone. Checking through the phone's call history for the past few days, he unexpectedly found Bai Luo Yin's number.

Yin Zi called?

Fuck!! This bastard didn't even tell me!

Gu Hai was so furious his eyes burnt a fiery red as if hell itself had taken over him, causing a heatwave to ravage his inside. He wished he could take this chance while Gu Yang's was still unconscious and violently beat the life out of him.

His heart churned and seethed just thinking about his baby.

Yin Zi is definitely worried about me, he definitely misses me, he's definitely not okay without me......

As Gu Hai imagined this myriad of possibilities, all sorts of feelings suddenly welled up in his heart, causing his hand that was clutching the cell phone to tremble involuntarily. After being here for an entire week, this was the first time he was finally going to call his beloved wife whom he had been yearning for all day and night......

At that time, it was 9 AM in Beijing. The sun was hanging high, displaying its brilliant rays on the school grounds.

Bai Luo Yin was leaning atop the school desk like usual, his spiritless eyes were fixated on a nail protruding from the corner of his desk.

The sound of his cell phone vibrating sounded off.

Bai Luo Yin quietly fished it out. Looking at the number, he discovered that it was Gu Yang. His heart tightened as he hurriedly answered the call.

"Hello?" Bai Luo Yin lowered his voice as much as possible.

Hearing Bai Luo Yin's voice, Gu Hai's heart was struck with an overwhelming wave of heartaches.

It hasn't been easy! A week......I can finally hear the sound of your voice......your breath.

After not hearing any response from the other side, Bai Luo Yin suddenly realized something. With an unsteady, shaky voice, he asked, "Is this... Gu Hai?"

Gu Hai's tears were on the verge of falling.

It was discussion time in the classroom at the moment. Good thing, the teacher had left, leaving the class chaotic; this created the perfect opportunity for Bai Luo Yin to answer the call.

"Are you okay over there?"

Gu Hai's tone gradually returned to its normal, "I'm okay, just a bit tired."

Hearing Gu Hai said that he was tired, a burst of pain struck Bai Luo Yin's chest, causing it to throb irregularly. If Gu Hai, whose bones are made of steel and was always bursting with energy no matter how tormented he was, could say that he was tired, then this must mean that he was really worn out!

"He is your brother, it's only natural that you should help him. Try to bear with the tiredness a bit okay? After surviving these days, you'll be okay."

"You don't feel sorry for me at all?" Young Master Gu felt wronged; the grievance was evident in his voice.

Bai Luo Yin seldom soften his voice, "Even if I feel sorry for you, I can't do anything...... I have no way of going over there to help you."

"Actually, I can bear the tiredness. It's just...I can't bear missing you."

Those words comforted Bai Luo Yin since he wholeheartedly felt the same way; the only thing was, he doesn't have the ability to express it like Young Master Gu.

"When will you come back?"

Gu Hai stayed silent for a long time before faintly saying, "Soon. The matters at hand are almost complete. After meeting another person in two days, I can go home and hug you to sleep again."

Bai Luo Yin lifted his eyelids to glance at the classroom door, the teacher still hasn't come in.

"How are you?" Gu Hai asked again.

"I'm very good," said Bai Luo Yin.

"Don't say that just to please me. Be more specific, where did you eat during the past few days? What did you eat? Where did you sleep and who did you sleep with? How many hours did you sleep, did you sleep well? Did you kick the quilt? Did you catch a cold or anything......?"

Bai Luo Yin immediately weakened and collapse on the desk, "How am I supposed to answer when you asked so many questions all at once?"

At that moment, Gu Hai was lying on the bed. He turned on the air conditioner and spread the quilt over his body. As he spoke on the phone, a pleasant and satisfied look radiated from his eyes. He had been ridden with loneliness for so many days, it is inevitable that he would feel an intolerable need. Besides, he was wrapped snugly beneath the quilt right now. If he didn't take this chance to sneakily do some indecent things, he won't be able to forgive himself!

"Tell me, did you jerk off during the past few days? How many times did you jerk off? What time did you do it? And every time you did it, how did you touch yourself?" asked Gu Hai as he started to create a lewd and sensual atmosphere.

Bai Luo Yin became stiff as he hurriedly scanned his surroundings. The other students were enthusiastically discussing the topic in question.

Now is not the time to talk about these kind of things ah!!!

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Gu Hai asked insistently, "You touched yourself a lot of times, right?"

"Not even once," Bai Luo Yin answered in whispers.

Gu Hai snickered, "Come on, not even once? I don't believe it. If you really haven't done it, why aren't you speaking louder? Why are you being so shy?"

Bai Luo Yin really wanted to yell at him from the top of his lungs.

I'm in the fucking classroom right now! You think I'm going to stand on the teacher's desk and announce to all the students: I, Bai Luo Yin, didn't jerk off even once during this entire week?

Not caring much about that, Gu Hai minded his own business and he continued to lustfully indulged himself, like a beast in heat, "Baby, I really miss you...ah...little Hai Zi also misses you......let's make love on the phone."

Hearing those lewd words, Bai Luo Yin managed to squeeze out a few words from between his gritted teeth, "Dear, I'm in class right now."

Gu Hai's hand that was about to undo his pants paused for a moment. It suddenly dawned on him as he said, "I forgot about the time difference, it's morning over there right?"

"What else?" Bai Luo Yin patiently informed him, "It's the second class in the morning now."

Gu Hai stayed silent for quite a while, not uttering another word. It was only a bit later did he then opened his mouth again, "I don't care. It wasn't easy for me to snatch this phone. Who knows when we'll be able to talk to each other again next time."

"How did you snatch the phone?" Bai Luo Yin was extremely curious.

Now that he mentioned this subject, Gu Hai's became exceptionally pleased with himself, "I cooked a meal for him today and slipped a drug inside his food. He's sound asleep right now..."

"You......" Bai Luo Yin went speechless.

Having this kind of younger brother is really unlucky.

"Yin Zi, my little Hai Zi is already erected. Can you imagine what it looks like right now? Ah, that's right, you can definitely imagine it. It's always pleasing and toying with you until you come in pleasure every single time, how can you forget what it looks like......"

Bai Luo Yin nearly collapsed into a complete meltdown. He did not have the heart nor was he unwilling to hang up the phone, but if he let Gu Hai continue to talk nonsense like this, then he'll just feel terrible, since he was, after all still in class right now!!......

"Gu Hai, listen to me......"

"Tell me, tell me how your ass is craving for me......" Gu Hai deliberately uttered an arousing, muffled moan, "Come, let me lick little Yin Zi...ahh...it misses me, right? Hm?"

Bai Luo Yin, "......"

"I'll start by licking from the end of the shaft, it tastes very good. I keep on licking it to the head of your cock. You're so slutty that you quickly became wet... I take it all into my mouth, sucking hard before slowly pulling it out, letting my tongue wrap warmly around it, then suck hardly on it again......does it feel good? Baby, tell me, does it feel good?"

Bai Luo Yin shut his eyes and stiffly endured the whole ordeal.

Say what you want, I'll pretend I didn't hear it.

"Wait a moment..." Gu Hai suddenly stopped.

Bai Luo Yin sighed, letting out a breath before feeling a bit relief for the time being.

After a while, this bastard turned on the video call and showed him a close-up of his member, "Baby, quickly look, it became swollen so fast. I really can't hold it in anymore, so let me thrust into you......"

Bai Luo Yin's eyes betrayed the shock that drew on his flushed face.

Just by chance, You Qi to turned his head around, "Yin Zi, look at this question for me."

Bai Luo Yin's hands trembled causing the cell phone to nearly drop on his desk.

"What's wrong?" You Qi asked, "Your complexion is a little strange."

Quickly hiding his cell phone inside his pocket, Bai Luo Yin concealed little Yin Zi beneath his blue and white jacket. Then, wearing an extremely awkward and embarrassed expression on his face, he walked out.
