Are You Addicted?

After a long while, as if taking an oath, Gu Hai boldly said, "I don"t regret this!"

Bai Luo Yin listened until his face turned green.

"You don"t regret it but I do!"

If he"d known earlier, he would have kept the cellphone with him. Who"d known that Shi Hui would call all of a sudden and Gu Hai inadvertently answered it.

Gu Hai walked toward Bai Luo Yin and squatted down beside him. His hands stroked the lad"s hair as he tried to console him: "What does it matter? I just wanted to buy some things for you. Even if I lose everything, I"d be more than willing to. Besides…we haven"t reached that level yet! Two days ago, I was watching the news, this guy dug out his own kidney and sold it, just so he can buy a necklace for his girlfriend. Compared to him, I"m way smarter. At least I can afford these things."

"Why are you comparing yourself to him?" Bai Luo Yin said gloomily, "He"s insane!"

"Who haven"t done some crazy things in their youth huh?! Who wasn"t willing to act like a f.u.c.king idiot for the sake of love? It just that, you don"t love me to that extent yet. You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how should I know who you have wrapped up in your heart."

"You"re bringing it up again?" Bai Luo Yin pushed at Gu Hai.

Gu Hai"s body had rendered somewhat askew. He stumbled, nearly hitting the ground. He shifted slightly in that awkward position before he crouched abreast to Bai Luo Yin once again. The two remained in this position, not saying anything. In the cold night, no heat permeated in the garage. No words or sound were exchanged, yet, there existed, a mutual understanding between them.

After a long while, Gu Hai lit a cigarette. He pa.s.sed it to Bai Luo Yin who refused.

"Actually, the things I bought will maintain its" values. Look, gold, diamond…can be invested! If one day we don"t have anymore money to spend, we can sell them."

Bai Luo Yin was so enraged that he was going to quickly spew blood because of Gu Hai.

Gu Hai twisted his head to glance at Bai Luo Yin. His hand stretched out to pinch the boy"s cheek but said boy evaded this action. Again, he extended his arms out and pull Bai Luo Yin into an embrace. His hands gently caressed Bai Luo Yin"s chin.

"You should shave your beard," said Gu Hai, "I"ll help you shave when we go back."

Bai Luo Yin didn"t agree or disagree to it.

"That"s enough, don"t think about it," Gu Hai used his soft words to coax him. "I bought them already, can"t you be just a bit happy?"

Bai Luo Yin still maintained a depressed expression.

Gu Hai moved closer to Bai Luo Yin and kissed his ears, his voice was absolutely tantalizing, "Baby, baby, my good baby…"*

If this was like any other time, Bai Luo Yin would’ve already flung his arm around and slapped the boy. But whose feelings hasn"t been weakened before.

Being filled with indignation was just one aspect of Bai Luo Yin. His heart, on the other hand, still sheltered a thick layer of remorse and uneasiness.

Seeing Gu Hai"s shameless and annoying appearance, a hateful emotion swelled up in his heart, he immediately faced Gu Hai"s and took a bite of the boy"s Adam"s apple.

Gu Hai stubbed the cigarette bud and pulled Bai Luo Yin up.

"It"s too cold to be crouching here. Go, let"s sit in the car for a bit."

Gu Hai handed the car key over to Bai Luo Yin, letting him unlock the door and going in to sit. He turned on the interior lighting and it was clear that everything was completely brand new. Where would you find a guy that doesn"t love cars!

Although, this car came about in such an abrupt manner, Bai Luo Yin was genuinely satisfied. It has a luxurious interior design and a comfortable driving environment. When he placed his hands on the steering wheel, he felt a string of excitement stir in his heart. At that precise moment, he was itching to start the car and take it out for a crazy drive.

"Drive this car tomorrow. Take us to go and find a heated swimming pool. I haven"t gone for a long time and the one in the clubhouse here is too cold. I"m afraid you won"t be able handle it." said Gu Hai.

Bai Luo Yin"s face exposed a frightened appearance, "I"ve only practiced for a few days? You"re just going to let me drive like that…"

"It"s fine, you can try. No matter what happens, I"ll be with you. If we crash, at least we"ll die together."

Bai Luo Yin hesitated for a second but he really did want to give it a try.

Gu Hai patted Bai Luo Yin"s arm, "Come, go look at the back."

"What"s there to look at in the back?"

Even though Bai Luo Yi"s lips produced those words, he still followed Gu Hai out of the car. He opened the back door and went in.

"It"s quite comfortable," said Bai Luo Yin, once he sat down.

Gu Hai moved in closer, his hot breath hovered over Bai Luo Yin"s face, "Is it really that comfortable?"

The interior was quite narrow as Gu Hai squeezed his way in. There was absolutely no s.p.a.ce for Bai Luo Yin to move. In that s.p.a.ce, he felt uncomfortable. Gu Hai"s devilish hand reached over and s.n.a.t.c.hed the car"s remote control out of his hand. Bai Luo Yin"s head was filled with apprehension when Gu Hai forcibly locked the car door.

f.u.c.k! I"ve been fooled!

"Gu Hai, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, do you want me to hit you?"

"Come, try and hit me. The more you hit me, the more energy I"ll have. Come on, come, come, hit me!"

Bai Luo Yin"s scalp went completely numb, "This is the garage."

"So what if it"s the garage? It"s our garage. Who"s going to come in here besides us?"

Bai Luo Yin could see his own distorted face in the rearview mirror. Anger and embarra.s.sment mingled together on his flushed face. He wanted to resist but he didn"t have enough strength left in him to do so…

In a split second, the sky and everything around him began to spin. Bai Luo Yin"s eyes could only see the roof of the car shaded by a handsome face that was full of charm and wicked lewdness.

For a period of time, the vehicle rocked violently. The sound of heavy breathing and gasping penetrated the interior s.p.a.ce.

Before long Bai Luo Yin"s body became limp as he leaned against the seat and his voice broke out in a low growl. He propped his head against the window of the car.

Still engulfed in a state of arousal, Bai Luo Yin has yet to calm himself down yet.

His blurred eyes gazed directly out of the window toward the pitch black wall. Feeling relatively sluggish made him unwilling to move or say anything.

Gu Hai pulled Bai Luo Yin toward his own body. His hands clutched the nape of Bai Luo Yin"s neck as he forced the boy to look at him.

"You are mine." said Gu Hai.

Bai Luo Yin"s moved his lips but didn"t say anything.

"I can forgive you without reservations, humor you and fulfill whatever wish you have. But, there is one thing you have to remember, I will never tolerate you having someone else in your heart."

The hidden feeling in Gu Hai"s sharp eyes were not that of peace or tranquility. Instead, his entire being was filled to the brim with trepidation. His stature made him appear tough and st.u.r.dy, yet his heart was stricken with pain and confusion. The deeper his feelings are, the more his heart is afraid of losing. He can"t lose Bai Luo Yin.  Even to the extent that he would never dare think of something like that.

"If you betray me, I will not be lenient with you."

Bai Luo Yin tried to evade those piercing eyes.

But his vision was once again pulled back toward Gu Hai.

"I mean it. If I, Gu Hai, were to be heartless, you will be terrified for the rest of your life."

—–

On the second day, Bai Luo Yin indeed brought his new car on the road. Because he wasn"t quite experienced yet, the car moved in a relatively slow pace.

Gu Hai sat in the pa.s.senger seat ridiculing him, "Are you having a street race with that wheelchair out there huh?"

Bai Luo Yin ignored Gu Hai"s taunting word as he continued to drive at his own speed. It took nearly two hours before they arrived at their destination.

There weren"t many people at the pool. After they changed, they made their way into the water. Even though, the water was warm, it still felt cool against the skin on first contact. The two stayed in the pool for a long while before their bodies gradually became warmer.

"Not bad, you swim pretty quick."

Gu Hai"s hands made their way toward Bai Luo Yin and sneakily groped his chest before giving it a squeeze. Bai Luo Yin, in return, savagely grabbed him by the head and shoved it into the water. Both of Gu Hai"s leg quickly flapped against the water, just like a fish trying to slip away.

Gu Hai pulled his body onto the edge of the pool and made his way toward the ten meters diving platform. He looked over at Bai Luo Yin and whistled.

Bai Luo Yin"s turned, facing the direction of the sound. Gu Hai sprung into the air, his body straightened out into a vertical line. It was identical to one of those perfect textbook posture as he enters the water [1]. The surface of the water surged, creating a beautiful splash. Bai Luo Yin"s eyes lit up.

So cool!

One must know, diving requires many technical skills, not just the fundamental routines. Don"t even mention ten meters, even three meters were enough to cause some people to faint.

The temperature of the water at bottom was on the cooler side. Gu Hai emerged from down under and swam towards the heated pool to warm his body up once again.

Finally, after swimming around with his head submerged in the water for some time, he resurfaced, only to find Bai Luo Yin had disappeared.

Suddenly the sound of whistles resonated in the open s.p.a.ce, startling Gu Hai.

"Don"t jump, it"s dangerous!" Gu Hai bellowed out.

Unfortunately, Bai Luo Yin"s body had already taken on a perpendicular position before entering the water. His posture, on the other hand, would probably be given an 80 or 90, points wise.

Once Bai Luo Yin"s body had drilled into the water, it did not resurface.

In that split second Gu Hai"s lost his sanity as his eyes swept around the pool. He swam toward the spot where Bai Luo Yin"s body had fallen in and dived in but he couldn"t find any trace of said boy"s shadow. He swam around in the area again, but still found no one. It was only when his lungs gave in from the lack of oxygen did he forced himself out of the water. And after swallowing several gulps of air, he dived back in once again.

Suddenly, Gu Hai felt the lower half of his body became chilled.

Hugh splashes of water surged from the side, flying toward the edge of the pool.

Bai Luo Yin emerged from within the water. Laughter smeared across his face as he held onto Gu Hai"s swimming trunk.

"Come up, it"s almost time to leave."

Gu Hai"s eyes widened as he glared up at Bai Luo Yin viciously, "Throw it down here."

"Didn"t you like to behave indecently? This should be indecent enough for you."

When those words escaped Bai Luo Yin"s lips, several beautiful girls entered the swimming pool room. They talked and giggled as they jumped into the pool.

Gu Hai lowered his head and looked down.

Ughhh pool water…why do you have to be so clear? Do you want to drag me into the fiery depths of h.e.l.l? [2]

And then…those beautiful girls swam toward him. Gu Hai could only swim, nakedly, further away from them.

Bai Luo Yin stood at the deck of the pool and shouted, "Who dropped their swimming trunk here?"

Embarra.s.sment crept onto Gu Hai"s face as he bares his teeth.

The girls turned to look at the swimming trunk in Bai Luo Yin"s hand. They couldn"t help but bashfully looked elsewhere, their face flushed in embarra.s.sment. They looked and cursed at the same time, "Who does this belong to? Stinking hoodlum!"

Gu Hai too ashamed to even look over, plunged back into the depths of the water, refusing to come out.

Bai Luo Yin laughed until his knees weakened.

Finally, he handed the swimming trunk over to Gu Hai. Once they arrived at the changing room, Gu Hai proceed to tortured Bai Luo Yin for a while.
