After school finished, Bai Luo Yin went out from the cla.s.sroom right away, he didn’t wait for Gu Hai like usual, as if he wasn’t there at all. He calmly and neatly walked down the stairs, he didn’t even look back.

Gu Hai rode his own bike, slowly tailing behind him.

When the aunt who swept the street saw Bai Luo Yin, she stopped sweeping and smiled towards him.

“I remember these past few days you’re always riding a bike to school! Why are you walking today?”

Bai Luo Yin forced out a smile, “The bike is broken, so now’s my chance to exercise.”

This lady not only had a good memory, but she had sharp eyes as well. Bai Luo Yin had barely finished his sentence, when she pointed behind Bai Luo Yin and said, “That’s broken? Isn’t that young man riding it just fine?”

Bai Luo Yin didn’t turn his head back, his injured left cheek became increasingly stiffer.

“You’re mistaken, it’s not that bike.”

“It can’t be.” She laughed heartily, “Even if the bike is different, but the young man will always be the same, no? I’m absolutely sure, I always see him taking you to school every day.”

Only then, Bai Luo Yin finally glanced at Gu Hai.

Gu Hai deliberately didn’t meet Bai Luo Yin’s eyes, he put on a defiant att.i.tude.

“Oh my, what happened to your face?”

When Bai Luo Yin turned his head, it just happened that the aunt saw the bruises on Bai Luo Yin’s left cheek, she then discovered that there were bruises all over Bai Luo Yin’s face.

“It’s nothing, auntie. You’re busy, so I’m going now.”

……..

After they walked half way home, Gu Hai discovered that there was something wrong with Bai Luo Yin’s left leg, the faster he walked, the more obvious it became. Especially when he was in a hurry to cross the road, in the middle of the crowd, he would limp heavily.

Gu Hai did his best to restrain himself from helping Bai Luo Yin, but he finally snapped.

He rode his bike quickly, soon he arrived in front of Bai Luo Yin, he stopped suddenly, and immediately threw the bike away on the roadside.

“What are you doing?” Bai Luo Yin furrowed his eyebrow.

Gu Hai crouched down, without any explanation, he rolled up Bai Luo Yin’s left trousers.

A huge reddish purple bruise, with all the clotting blood, were exposed under his delicate flesh.

Gu Hai stood up, then he picked up his bike and ordered in a deep voice: “Get on.”

Bai Luo Yin acted like he didn’t hear him as he coldly walked past Gu Hai.

Gu Hai grabbed Bai Luo Yin and pulled him back. Because Gu Hai used too much strength, Bai Luo Yin nearly fell onto the ground.

“What are you doing?!” Bai Luo Yin was furious.

“I’m telling you to get on!” Gu Hai shouted at Bai Luo Yin.

Both of them refused to budge for a few seconds, no one would open their mouth. Bai Luo Yin’s expression changed, in the end he finally got on the bike.

They remained silent all along the way until they reached the house’s entrance, Bai Luo Yin immediately went inside, Gu Hai turned around and was about to leave.

Since Bai Luo Yin went down from the bike, he believed that Gu Hai would follow him into the house even if it’s against his will, who would’ve thought that Gu Hai would actually leave just like that.

…….

“Dad, I’m home.”

When Bai Han Qi saw Bai Luo Yin, he was stunned for a moment, the bowl in his hand almost broke into

pieces.

“Son, what happened to your face?”

Bai Luo Yin replied lightly that it’s nothing, then calmly went inside his room, Bai Han Qi just followed behind him.

After he inquired about what exactly happened in full detail, Bai Han Qi finally let it go. When he remembered that he was still stewing some vegetable in the pot, he got fl.u.s.tered and ran out from

Bai Luo Yin’s room in a hurry.

Bai Luo Yin was alone in his room, but he was feeling bitter, did Gu Hai finally went crazy? Didn’t they talk already? Why is he so bad-tempered? Okay then, if you don’t want to come in, just do what you want to do, in any case he has plenty of money, he won’t starve to death!

“Yin Zi, come here and eat!” Bai Han Qi yelled from the outside.

Bai Luo Yin yelled back, “I’m not hungry, just eat by yourself!”

Bai Han Qi went inside Bai Luo Yin’s room again, “Why are you not hungry? What about Da Hai? He didn’t come back together with you?”

“He’s dead!”

“Dead?” Bai Han Qi’s expression changed, “Why is he dead?”

“Enough, dad, just forget about him, just eat….” Bai Luo Yin pushed Bai Han Qi outside.

Bai Luo Yin turned on his computer. He hadn’t played for long when he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the outside.

“Uncle, what is the food for today? Why didn’t you wait for me?”

Bai Han Qi replied honestly, “Our Yin Zi said that you’re dead.”

Gu Hai: “……..”

Bai Luo Yin walked out with heavy steps, there were sparks coming out from the soles of his feet.

“Who told you to come inside? Didn’t you say that you’re unwilling to deal with me?”

Gu Hai regained his crafty, evil smile, “But I didn’t pay any attention to you! It’s only your imagination, I come here in hurry to see my uncle and my grandma, right grandma?”

“Yes, yes.”

Grandma Bai couldn’t differentiate which one is her grandson anymore.

Bai Luo Yin turned around to return to his room, on the corner of his torn lips, there was an obvious, thin smile that he was unable to conceal.

Gu Hai followed him inside, without any difficulties, he simply threw a bag full of medicine onto Bai Luo Yin’s bed. Bai Luo Yin just realized where did Gu Hai went before.

“I’ve gotten some medicine from the clinic already, why did you buy it again?”

“The medicine you got from the clinic is bought from other people, this is the one I bought for you, could it possibly be the same?”

While talking, he swiftly grabbed every single medicine from Bai Luo Yin’s school bag and threw it into the trash bin in, including all the band-aids.
