“Don’t drink like that, it’ll hurt your stomach.”
Gu Hai took away a gla.s.s of alcohol in Bai Luo Yin’s hand, but the other boy quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed it back, chugged down within a gulp, even burped out once he finished gulping it down, and continued glomped down on the skewer in his hand.
Gu Hai took the half-eaten skewer away from Bai Luo Yin’s hand and chomped down on it.
Bai Luo Yin’s face darkened, “There are so many, why did you take mine?”
“I want to.”
Bai Luo Yin gave Gu Hai a dagger stare and then turned to call to the owner of the shop, “Boss, give me another bottle.”
Gu Hai became stunned and quickly stopped Bai Luo Yin, turned to the owner and said, “Boss, no need to, don’t bring it.”
“If you’re still nagging, get out of here!”
In the end, Gu Hai could not stop Bai Luo Yin, the other boy drank as much as he could eat, the more he drank the more he became talkative, Gu Hai had a chance to know more about the other boy.
“Actually, my mom isn’t that kind of person; even though she had never cared about me since I was young, she has never done anything like that*. She always looks down on my dad, she is a very realistic person who wants to live in luxury.”
[T/N: “That” here prefers to Wu Fang’s statement that Bai Luo Yin’s mother is a prost.i.tute]
“I believe you.” Gu Hai just smiled bitterly, “What’s good for you is that you can still see your mom, mine has pa.s.sed away.”
Bai Luo Yin gave Gu Hai an unbelievable stare, he always thought that Gu Hai must live a very comfort life, so comfort to the point that he had found boredom in it.
“I know what you’re thinking.” Gu Hai lit up a cigarette and looked at Bai Luo Yin with a snicker, “Besides you, have you seen me teasing others?”
Bai Luo Yin held out his hand, and Gu Hai handed him a cigarette; the smoke lingering around the two of them, it felt like this world is only belonging to them.
“You have already known about my family situation?” Bai Luo Yin asked.
Gu Hai nodded his head, “A little.”
“So, you keep picking on me and make me feel irritated, all the better for you to find consolation for me?”
Gu Hai put out his cigarette, took a sip of his drink as cracking a small smile.
“This isn’t called picking on you, it’s called caring for you, I’m using a unique method to love you.”
“Don’t exploit on my tolerance to feed your shamelessness.”
Once these words were spoken, Bai Luo Yin laughed, Gu Hai also laughed along, the two of them laughed the matter off as if using this laugh to mark the end of their pickering fights.
Gu Hai held the skewers on the oven and turned them around as Bai Luo Yin continued his drinking. He watched as Gu Hai busy himself grilling the skewer on the oven, Bia Luo Yin suddenly felt that this person is a very friendly man. Perhaps they both shared the same plight so Bai Luo Yin could understand Gu Hai’s feeling, or perhaps it was due to the alcohol…Out of the blue, Bai Luo Yin felt like telling this person everything about him.
“I have a lot of friends, they smile and laugh with me, yet they all always try to hide their difficulty in their hearts.”
Gu Hai thought about his own friends, and could not help but snickered, “That’s the common problem among men, it can’t be help.”
Bai Luo Yin chugged down his bottle of beer again, “I used to have a girlfriend, she is really pretty and has a good family background, but we broke up; I haven’t been sleeping well all this time due to this mess…”
Bai Luo Yin talked a lot during this evening, Gu Hai only listened quietly on the side. Bai Luo Yin unreservedly told Gu Hai all his pain and difficulties; including his family background is the real barrier for his love life, the long distance relationship between him and Shi Hui, his concerns for the future, the differences between him and his mother, and his abhorrence for the social cla.s.s gap…….
After listening to all of it, Gu Hai had a feeling that Bai Luo Yin once again drew a line between them; obviously they had just become a bit closer, and now this line had separated them again.
A dead drunk Bai Luo Yin stood up to go pee*, Gu Hai pulled him to a clear opening and told him to do his business there.
[T/N: *- direct translation, the author used the term “pee”; not my vulgar language kekeke]
Bai Luo Yin placed his hand at the lower abdomen and made a gesture of pulling down a zipper, but there was no zipper on his pants, he just needed to pull them down.
Seeing that Bai Luo Yin was about to start, Gu Hai’s face turned color as he quickly stopped Bai Luo Yin in his act, “Don’t urine yet, take off your pants first!”
“They’re already off!”
Both of Bai Luo Yin’s hands stretched out in an opening, face was tinted with redness due to alcohol as smiled stupidly.
Gu Hai cracked a small laugh at the scene, “When did you take them off? Isn’t that you still have them on?”
Bai Luo Yin lowered his head and looked down, the pants were still on.
“No need to take them off, just do it with them on, much easier.”
“Much easier for who you said?” Gu Hai stepped closer to Bai Luo Yin, helped him taking off his pants, and then placed Bai Luo Yin’s hand on his family jewel*, “Here, p.i.s.s*.”
[T/N: family jewel – a man’s genitals; p.i.s.s – another word for pee, but in a much more of a vulgar slang]
Bai Luo Yin obediently began to empty his bladder*, taking advantage of the moonlight from above, Gu Hai glanced over to stare at Bai Luo Yin. Every man has a common issue: if he sees another man’s family jewel, he would always compare the size of his own family jewel with that man.
[T/N: lit. trans – to resolve his problem – well his current problem is to empty his bladder, right? LOL so yea, I just want to make things easier to understand LOL]
Once Bai Luo Yin was done, he turned to look at Gu Hai, “don’t you need to go?”
“Not now.”
Bai Luo Yin pointed at Gu Hai’s pants, “Take off your pants, I want to know whose is bigger.”
Gu Hai smiled widely, he pulled up Bai Luo Yin’s pants while replied, “We do that tomorrow, we will do that tomorrow…”
Bai Luo Yin was so drunk that he could not walk straight, every two steps he would strip over something. Gu Hai could not stand to watch it anymore, as he crouched down to let Bai Luo Yin get on his back and carried him.
Bai Luo Yin’s arms resting on Gu Hai’s shoulders as breathing hot air down Gu Hai’s neck, Gu Hai could feel his neck getting hotter each second, so he tried to pushed Bai Luo Yin up on his back a bit more, causing Luo Yin’s nose b.u.mping against his cheek.
“Are you sleepy?” Gu Hai asked.
“Ah?” Bai Luo Yin drowsily replied.
Gu Hai’s tone became soften like it had never been before, “then sleep, sleep for awhile and you’ll be home soon.”
“Who do you say to go to sleep? Who do you say to go to sleep?” Bai Luo Yin suddenly raised his voice and landed a fist at Gu Hai’s left cheek, “You want to cut my clothes again, right?”
Half of Gu Hai’s face became painful, he had never been this patient with anyone like he was now with Bai Luo Yin; even Gu Hai himself could not explain why he could never get mad when in front of this brat.
“Grandson!”
Bai Luo Yin shouted out loudly towards the empty street ahead of them.
“If you’re being stupid again, I’m going to throw you into a ditch, believe it or not?”
Bai Luo Yin did not say anything, even breathing sprinkled onto Gu Hai’s ear. Maybe he was asleep, probably he was just sleep talking earlier. Gu Hai carried him on his back as he did not feel the cold night breeze.
“Mom…”
A string of hot liquid traveling down Gu Hai’s neck, down to his chest, and carved into his heart, which had successfully awaken his long repressed feeling.
—
“Uncle.”
When Bai Han Qi saw Bai Luo Yin, he could finally heaved out a sigh of relieve. He quickly helped Bai Luo Yin coming down from Gu Hai’s back, mouth still mumbling, “Finally found him, I didn’t dare to tell his grandmother about this, quickly come inside and rest.”
“I won’t be going in,” Gu Hai replied as he took off the uniform vest and gave it to Bai Han Qi, “Here, this is his uniform. Since it’s cold, he should wear more layers.”
“Oh…” Bai Han Qi looked gratefully at Gu Hai, “Thank you for today.”
“It was nothing, he was feeling down today. So he went drinking, he should be ok in the morning.”
Bai Han Qi continuously nodded his head as watched Gu Hai’s back disappearing in the distance, he could not help but to sigh out, “What good parents can raise such a good child?”
