At night, BaiLuoYin helped YangMeng pack his things.
"Are you sure you're going to leave tomorrow?" BaiLuoYin asked.
YangMeng nodded, "GuHai will be coming back tomorrow, would I still dare to continue staying here?"
BaiLuoYin seemed very magnanimous, "There was no problem when you kept staying here, aren't there still two more empty bedrooms? Both of us aren't in during the day and only come back at night. Stay here for a few more days, let GuHai cook a few proper meals for you to eat. You've stayed here for so many days and didn't even get to eat a proper meal."
YangMeng remembered the short text he had received a few days ago and rejected flatly,
"You're welcome but honestly, I should go back! I've thought it through these few days; it's not worth getting angry over that kind of people."
BaiLuoYin smiled and didn't say anything.
After everything had been packed, YangMeng's heart was still tensed; should he or shouldn't he go find YouQi? When YouQi came a few days ago, YangMeng still didn't move. In the end after YouQi had neglected him for a few days, YangMeng couldn't stay put. He kept pondering for the past two days, if YouQi comes back one more time, he would definitely leave with him, but why was there no more shadows of YouQi.
Going back to find him just like this? It seemed to be more cowardly the more he thought about it. But what could he do if he don't go and find him?
During this recent period, a lot of YouQi's matters had been handled by YangMeng. If he had really left them hanging, it would bound to become very troublesome, making it seemed like YangMeng's betrayal instead. Moreover, YangMeng had been loitering around casually during this period; those trashy friends had all known that he was rich. He was reduced back to his original state all of a sudden, where should he place his face?
BaiLuoYin turned his head back. Seeing YangMeng still dazed over there, he patted the back of his head, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking, this is the last night that I'm staying at your house, let us brothers have a good chat tonight." Actually YangMeng had wanted to use this opportunity to ask BaiLuoYin for a favor.
BaiLuoYin agreed without much thought.
At night, the two of them leaned against the head of the bed. BaiLuoYin lit a cigarette and smoked quietly.
"How long had it been since we've slept together?" YangMeng asked and answered himself,
"I remember you use to come to my house every day to eat and sleep when we were young.
Do you still remember the tiger pillow that my grandmother had sewn? You would fight with me for it every time you come to sleep at my house. It's still being kept inside the closet now."
BaiLuoYin's tough facial contours softened quite a bit, "Of course I remembered. When we were young, the food inside your house was nicer than my house and your house's blankets were softer than my house's. I went to your house every day but your parents never complained. Thinking about it now, it seems like it was a thing of yesterday. In a blink of an eye we're already so old, almost everyone had already moved out of that neighborhood."
YangMeng sighed, "It's still better when we were young. We only knew how to play the whole day with no worries at all." BaiLuoYin turned his head to see YangMeng, the middle of his two eyebrows was twisted, his small mouth opening and closing, looking more pleasing the more he looked. He couldn't resist reaching out a hand to pinch YangMeng's face and teased, "You looked like a little girl when you were young and still looks so pretty after you've grown up."
"Scram scram scram......" YangMeng wasn't happy listening to this and pulled BaiLuoYin's hand down.
It's been so long since BaiLuoYin had touched such a soft face and couldn't help pinching a few more times. He looked at YangMeng lecherously, "I haven't touched a woman for a year already. Now that I've caught a soft skin and tender flesh, you still won't let me satisfy my desires?"
"Stop fooling around." YangMeng grabbed BaiLuoYin's hand and asked nervously, "Are you sure GuHai won't return tonight?"
"I'm sure!" BaiLuoYin said casually, "His flight is at 3 o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, he won't be home till six regardless. Why? Are you scared that he would see us sleeping together?"
YangMeng nodded.
"Is he that scary?" BaiLuoYin was quite puzzled, "Although he's a little gangster-ish but he's quite reasonable. How come you guys always mention him like he's a killer?"
"That's only towards you." YangMeng's expression was full of fear, "Anyways, I feel fearful whenever I see him."
"You! Just relax and sleep, I guarantee that he would definitely not return before tomorrow afternoon." YangMeng felt slightly at ease and started to stir the conversation onto his self.
"YinZi, would I be that if I were to go back just like this?"
BaiLuoYin didn't understand, "Which that?"
YangMeng puffed and blow for "half and a day" and still didn't say anything.
However BaiLuoYin had comprehended the meaning himself, "I know, you want to go back to find YouQi but can't put aside your face to do so. You want me to call YouQi and let YouQi come and fetch you right?"
"You understand me so well." YangMeng grabbed BaiLuoYin's hands, "Remember, don't let em know that we've discussed this beforehand."
BaiLuoYin was amused seeing YangMeng's weird behavior. YangMeng's heart was at eased already and he closed his eyes to gather some sleepiness. Suddenly, YangMeng was awakened by the rustling sound of the door opening. He clutched BaiLuoYin's arm and asked anxiously, "Has GuHai returned?"
BaiLuoYin had also vaguely heard some movements, he listened carefully but the movements were gone and hence he patted YangMeng's shoulders and said, "It's nothing. It's the sound of the neighbor's door opening."
YangMeng was just about to relax his tensed muscles when a clear sound of the door opening had him scared completely senseless.
"Big baby——"
A clear and powerful call came from the bedroom next door, accompanied by the shaking of the bed board.
BaiLuoYin could imagine how GuHai had tiptoed in, sneaked into the bedroom next door and pounced onto the bed in the dark...... only to have thrown his self into thin air......
"Didn't you say that he won't be back?" YangMeng's hands became icy cold in an instant. BaiLuoYin's body froze and couldn't utter a word.
"YinZi, save me!!!"
BaiLuoYin consoled YangMeng, "It's alright, I will explain to him properly"
YangMeng clutched BaiLuoYin's hands tightly, "Don't explain, you must never explain. You go out now and must never say that I am here. I will find a place to hide first and will grab an opportunity to sneak out."
It is better to avoid unnecessary trouble and so BaiLuoYin could only agree to it.
"Remember, you mustn't lock the door."
After reminding again and again, YangMeng quickly crawled into the book cupboard underneath the study table.
