Bai Luo Yin had just sat in the car when Gu Hai suddenly asked him, "What did you do earlier today?"
"Nothing much, I just went to Aunt Zou's place." Bai Luo Yin replied indifferently as he turned to look at the person beside him
It did not take long for Gu Hai to notice the obvious change in Bai Luo Yin's mood. He wondered to himself. Strange, he was fine this morning, why is he in a bad mood now? Who the hell made my wife upset?
Gu Hai's rough fingers reached out to fiddle with a few strands of hair that were hanging loosely in front of Bai Luo Yin's eyes before he gently asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing. Let's go now."
Without saying anything else, Gu Hai started the car then passed a box to Bai Luo Yin.
"What's this?" Bai Luo Yin asked.
Gu Hai did not respond. He was strenuously steering the car along the alley. Then Bai Luo Yin opened the box and looked inside. .
"Why did you buy me a phone?" Bai Luo Yin asked as his brows wrinkled together, indicating his disapproval, "I don't need it. Just give it to someone else."
"What do you mean you don't need it? I couldn't find you at all this morning. You know how worried I was?"
Bai Luo Yin leaned back into the seat and closed his eyes. There was tiredness and fatigue drenching his voice once he spoke again.
"You have money again?"
"I don't have money."
Bai Luo Yin's resting eyes immediately shot open, "You don't have any money, yet you have the nerve to buy this?"
"My god of wealth has returned, right?" What Gu Hai meant was his cousin was back.
Looking squarely at Gu Hai, Bai Luo Yin scolded him, "You're always sponging off other people!"
Gu Hai grinned ambiguously, "He's the one that wanted to give me the money. It's only right if I spend it."
The man in a black suit and elegant necktie sat quietly in front of a window in a luxurious private room of a five star hotel. The lightning inside the room made the outline of his face became sharper, his face looked as if it was covered with a layer of ice frost. It remained expressionless even at the sound of the door opening.
"Brother, this is Bai Luo Yin."
Without bothering to raise his head to look at them, the man merely replied with a faint 'Yeah'.
"This is my brother, Gu Yang."
Bai Luo Yin secretly answered Gu Hai, is everyone in your family born in water? [1]
Once seated at the dining table, the waiters began to serve a variety of delicious western cuisine . But Bai Luo Yin had no appetite and did not touch his food since the beginning. His mind was filled with Aunt Zou's problem .
Noting this, Gu Hai asked, "You don't have any appetite?"
Bai Luo Yin casually picked up his knife and his fork, "Yes."
Gu Yang--who was sitting quietly besides Gu Hai--suddenly spoke. His voice was cold and emotionless. "Hailuoyin." [2]
It was only then did Bai Luo Yin lift his head up to look straight at Gu Yang. He was momentarily stunned. Although his face was a bit similar to Gu Hai, their personalities were the complete opposite.
Hearing that, Gu Hai too paused for a moment. It seemed that he just noticed this particular detail.
"AH! It's true, when you combine our names together it becomes a drug."
This is destiny. We have been completely infected and absorbed with each other already. There is no need to ever guard against it in this lifetime.
The dinner was really quiet, Gu Hai seemed like he just wanted to introduce Bai Luo Yin to Gu Yang without any intention to get them closer. After all, Gu Yang and Bai Luo Yin's temperament were too similar, it would be very hard for both of them to get along. If Gu Hai wasn't there and both were them were having dinner alone, they would definitely freeze each other to death.
From time to time, Gu Yang stole glances at Gu Hai. Whenever he did that, Gu Hai's eyes would gaze persistently at Bai Luo Yin.
During the dinner, Gu Yang didn't look at Bai Luo Yin in the eye and he also didn't have a conversation with Bai Luo Yin. But, Bai Luo Yin could feel that his eyes were always on him. It felt cold, sharp, and harsh. An indistinct sense of intimidation seeped through his gaze.
On the way back, Bai Luo Yin remained silent all along.
Gu Hai could feel that Bai Luo Yin's mood was really bad, it became even worse than before. He didn't know whether it was because of Gu Yang or due to other reason.
"My brother is that kind of shameful person, but his impression toward you is really good."
Bai Luo Yin didn't say anything.
When Gu Hai saw that Bai Luo Yin's handsome face still looked displeased, he couldn't help but to stroke it, while coaxing him: "You don't like it when he invited you to dinner? When I go back later, I will scold him for you."
Bai Luo Yin leaned on the car seat, he closed his eyes, his brain was in a mess.
The car went smoothly on the road before Gu Hai suddenly slammed the brakes. Bai Luo Yin's body suddenly swayed forward. He opened his eyes.
"What happened?"
Gu Hai pointed his finger at the two silhouettes not far from them. He said, "Why do I feel like that woman over there resembles Aunt Zou so much!"
Hearing Aunt Zou's name, Bai Luo Yin's face immediately changed. He looked outside through the car window, there were three shadows moving around, one man, one woman, and one little kid. At first, the kid was with the man, then the woman snatched the kid away from him. After that, the man kicked the woman until she fell down before the man carried the kid in his arms and ran away. The woman stood up and chased the man relentlessly.
Bai Luo Yin suddenly opened the car door and ran out. Gu Hai followed him from behind.
"Meng Jian Zhi, you are not a human. Give the child back to me!"
While Bai Luo Yin was running quickly, Aunt Zou was quarreling with Meng Jian Zhi. Meanwhile, their son was wailing loudly. Tears with dust mixed on Aunt Zou's face. There was a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth.
"This is my son. Why do I have to give him to you?" Meng Jian Zhi pulled the struggling kid firmly.
Gu Hai's face turned livid, he snatched the kid with one pull, before landing a harsh kick on Meng Jian Zhi's face.
Meng Jian Zhi flew for more than two meters because of Gu Hai's kick. He then fell on the ground and didn't get up.
Aunt Zou hurriedly pulled her son into her embrace. She looked at Meng Jian Zhi, speechless.
Gu Hai walked towards Meng Jian Zhi. He grabbed his collar, then suddenly he punched Meng Jian Zhi's stomach.
Meng Jian Zhi immediately spat two mouthful of blood.
"Yin Zi!" Aunt Zou shouted, "Stop Da Hai, don't let Da Hai hit him again."
Bai Luo Yin pulled Gu Hai, persuading him, "It's enough, he's Aunt Zou's ex-husband."
"I can see it." Gu Hai replied coldly, "It's because that he's that son's father, so I want to hit him."
Meng Jian Zhi stood up from the ground, he threw himself at Gu Hai, then he grabbed Gu Hai's leg firmly, not intending to let him go. No matter how hard Gu Hai kicked him, he didn't let go. His body was wriggling on the ground just like a mudskipper.
"So you still want to blackmail me? Okay then, within three minutes, I will definitely give you your compensation."
After he said that, Gu Hai took his phone out.
Aunt Zou carried her son then ran towards Meng Jian Zhi. She shouted at him, "You have to go! You cannot afford to offend him! If you still want to live, then go away!"
Meng Jian Zhi still didn't let him go.
Bai Luo Yin used his eyes to signal Gu Hai, asking him to wait for a while.
"Go quickly!"
Aunt Zou shouted again, while her son was crying loudly.
Meng Jian Zhi reluctantly stood up from the ground, he glared at Gu Hai fiercely, swearing with a voice filled with hatred: "You just wait for me, all of you just wait for me!"
After he said that, he walked with a limp toward the east.
In the car, Aunt Zou was still holding her son, unable to recover from the fright. She nestled closely to her son, feeling his existence, afraid that at the next second, someone would snatch her son away from her again.
Gu Hai looked at them through the rearview mirror. He suddenly remembered about his mother who had passed away.
She loved him, she pampered him, and she treasured him. He also had those days when he and his mother depended on each other. He could feel the importance of Aunt Zou for her son, it was like how his mother was important for him too.
Eventually, this matter couldn't be hidden from Bai Han Qi anymore.
Gu Hai finally started the car and drove Aunt Zou and her son to Bai Luo Yin's home.
Since this man appeared, Aunt Zou and her son wouldn't be able to stay by themselves at their house. If there's a little bit of mistake, the child could be missing. The only person they can rely on is Bai Han Qi. Aunt Zou had no choice but to tell Bai Han Qi the truth. Bai Han Qi didn't say anything further, he immediately closed the door and not letting Aunt Zou go.
"Da Hai, for now let Yin Zi stay at your place for a couple of days. You know it too, we don't have many rooms in this house..." Bai Han Qi felt embarrassed.
Aunt Zou interrupted with her red and swollen eyes, "We can just stay in the spare room."
"How can I let you stay in the spare room?" Bai Han Qi frowned his eyebrows, "I'll stay with the kid, you
stay in Yin Zi's room. If there's anything, just shout for me anytime."
The kid was in Aunt Zou's embrace, "I want to stay with mom."
Gu Hai pinched that kid's cheeks, "How old are you? And you're still sleeping with your mom? Are you not shy?"
Gu Hai pinched him once, he immediately took revenge on him and stepped on Bai Luo Yin's foot.
Then, he looked at Gu Hai with a provocative expression.
Gu Hai was surprised, this kid is really smart, huh?
"Okay then, let's do this. Da Hai...." Bai Han Qi patted Gu Hai's shoulder, "Sorry to trouble you."
What kind of trouble is this? Gu Hai felt extremely pleased.
Bai Luo Yin looked at Bai Han Qi with a gaze filled with worries, "Do you want me to stay here too? I'll sleep with you in one room, they can sleep together in one room. Just in case if something really happen, I can help too."
Gu Hai's expression changed, he immediately objected, "I think it's not necessary, so you don't believe in Uncle's strength? Besides, I gave him some kicks already today. It's enough to make him go away for at least a couple of days. You don't need to stay here, just go back with me!"
Bai Luo Yin gave Gu Hai sideways glance, his intention was too obvious.
Gu Hai remained unyielding, his overwhelming demeanor was like that of a soldier. He straightened his waist and his back, focusing his gaze on Bai Han Qi and waited for his instruction.
"It's okay, Yin Zi. Just go back with Da Hai."
Gu Hai immediately placed his hand on Bai Luo Yin's shoulder. He grinned broadly as they went out from the house. His smile chilled Bai Luo Yin down his spine.
