Qi Le was so happy to "check in" that he didn’t want to stay for even a moment longer. However, he felt that he couldn’t be too obvious. He packed up the cat’s things first, looked at the time, and pretended to ask, “My stuff hasn’t been properly packed yet but it’s already over 9 o’clock now. It’s quite late. Why don’t I… go over tomorrow?” He looked up at him and threatened inside, don’t you dare nod your head. Laozi just went over in the early morning a few days ago, so time is definitely not a problem!
Naturally, Gu Bai, who knew him like the back of his hand, understood what he really wanted. In fact, he himself could hardly wait to carry Qi Le straight home but he couldn"t reveal the truth. He smiled and picked up the cat’s stuff, “Alright then, I"ll take the cat first.” He picked up the cat, held it in his arms but didn"t trap it hard, and turned to leave. He stared at a certain cat and opened the bedroom door tentatively, hinting that they were about to leave.
d.a.m.n it, why did I pretend?! Now, I"m done for… Qi Le lamented in his heart, got up sadly to send them and thought to himself, it’s okay. Big deal, it"s just one more night. Anyways, I"ve already adapted to it, unless those two do something even more wild…
Seeing that he was about to be carried out of the door by this crazy creature, Xiao Quan quickly jumped down and ran over to Qi Le again. It pawed at Qi Le, asking to be picked up and rubbed against his neck. “Meow, meow, meow~!”
These past few days, its meals have finally gone back to normal. It no longer had to live those days of uncertainty. It certainly wouldn"t leave!
Qi Le and Gu Bai looked at the cat at the same time and were both very satisfied with its performance. Qi Le held his son in his arms, thinking that this was the pivotal moment to fan the flames. He looked up at Gu Bai and said, “Why don’t I… go with you?”
Gu Bai stroked the cat and graciously said, “Mmm, pack up your stuff then.”
Qi Le was beyond happy. He casually found a few clothes and threw them into his bag. But then he began to worry. He didn’t know the subjects he was studying. What should he do ah?!
Gu Bai looked at him, “What"s wrong?”
“It"s because I lost my memory,” Qi Le sighed. “So I don’t know which subjects I failed and now I only know two of the subjects…”
Gu Bai thought for a moment, “Do you have a computer?”
“Yes.” Qi Le paused, suddenly feeling enlightened. He quickly turned it on, went on the Internet, searched for the university webpage and clicked the login b.u.t.ton uneasily. But then, he was instantly relieved and thought to himself that it was so amazing that the pa.s.sword and username was saved!
He entered the student dashboard, opened the exam results section, and silently looked at the scores. His heart shattered into a million pieces. d.a.m.n it, did Zheng Xiaoyuan also peek at Ning Xiao during the exam? Could it be that as long as Ning Xiao handed in his papers, he would follow suit? The subjects that he failed were all either 30 or 40 marks, while those that he pa.s.sed were at an all time low – none of them were close to 70 marks! And what the h.e.l.l was "human resource management?" Laozi studied design before this, okay?!
He lamented as he wrote down the subjects that he failed and began rummaging through his room. But after a long time of searching, he found only three books. He blew up at once. f.u.c.king h.e.l.l! Was Zheng Xiaoyuan thinking of dropping out?! Even his books were all gone!
Gu Bai saw from his lack of expression that he was angry and suggested, “Why don’t we wait for your older brother to come back and ask him?”
“No,” Qi Le placed the books and computer in his bag. “He"ll definitely come back with my brother-in-law. Let’s go, I"ll ask him tomorrow.”
So Gu Bai left with him and casually asked, “Why didn"t your older brother live with his boyfriend?”
“I asked him a few days ago.” Qi Le explained, “He said that this place is quite convenient and close to the school and the bar, and my brother-in-law"s place is really far away, so he didn’t move in. Anyways, he won"t have cla.s.ses in the last semester of his fourth year so he decided to stay on for another six months. After this, he"ll work somewhere close to my brother-in-law"s place and live together.”
Gu Bai nodded, opening the door and getting into the car. They quickly returned to the apartment, and placed a certain cat into its little nest. Xiao Quan looked at the familiar surroundings and was afraid that Qi Le would leave. It stuck to him like glue, refusing to let go. Qi Le allowed it to do as it pleased and planted a kiss on its head with a smile.
Gu Bai glanced at him, “Would you like to wash up?”
“Huh? No,” said Qi Le. “I just showered in the bar earlier. You go wash up then."
Gu Bai nodded and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
Qi Le happily sat on the sofa with the cat in his arms, thinking that he could finally have a good night"s sleep. Looking at the time, he found it wasn"t too late so he took out a few books to prepare for his revision. But very quickly, he was frustrated by all those unknown concepts and threw the books aside. Without a second thought, he turned on his computer. When he used it a few days ago, he looked at the hard disk and knew that there was a folder marked “Learning Materials” in the F disk. At the time, it was of no interest to him, but right now, it was just what he needed.
He opened it to see if there were any course materials, only to find that there was a folder t.i.tled “learn a little every day." His face was covered in black lines but he went on and found that there was another folder t.i.tled “make more progress." He pursed his lips and clicked again. On the folder were the words, “believe in yourself." He paused for a moment, then clicked, only to find that it said “you will succeed." He blew up then and there. f.u.c.k! Was there was no end to this nonsense?! What kind of stupid joke was this?! f.u.c.king h.e.l.l, if he had put all these effort into his studies, he wouldn"t have failed five subjects!
He stared at the folder, rubbed his face and opened it. When he saw that there was a folder that said “bygē,” he immediately fell silent. He felt that for it to be written by Ye Shuichuan, it wasn"t a big deal, although it was a little unusual. He double-clicked on it and saw a list of videos, ranging from 1 to 100. He was surprised and wondered if they were video lessons.
He started the first one and waited. When he saw English words slowly drifting across the black screen, he was even more surprised. He simply dragged the video to the middle to see what it was, but then he heard a series of moans and groans. There were two naked men going papapa at it. It was right at the most exciting part.
Qi Le, “=口=!!!"
Gu Bai happened to come out of the bathroom at this moment. He obviously didn’t expect that the living room would be full of that kind of sounds. He couldn’t help walking towards him and looking at him. When he found a certain someone still stunned, he took two steps forward and leaned over with his hand on the coffee table. “What are you looking at?”
Qi Le suddenly snapped out of his daze. His brain was blank at the moment and his voice trembled, “No-nothing!” He quickly slammed the laptop shut, thinking that it would go to sleep or power off but he didn’t expect that Zheng Xiaoyuan had set it to “do nothing," so the "mmm mmm, ahh ahh" sounds continued.
Qi Le, “=口=”
Gu Bai could hardly stop himself from laughing out loud. He asked in a teasing tone, “This is called nothing?”
Qi Le looked at him silently. His heart had shattered and fell to the floor in pieces. This was it. He already had a bad reputation. Now, he looked even more depraved, like a thirsty wh.o.r.e who would do anything. What was going to happen to him? Would he be kicked out?
Gu Bai looked at his timid eyes and listened to the sounds ringing in his ear. He felt his chest tighten and was so close to just doing it on the sofa. He leaned closer to the sofa and raised his eyebrow slightly, “Aren"t you going to turn it off?”
“…Huh?” Qi Le reacted instantly, opening his laptop and turning it off. Looking up in shock, he stared closely at the face in front of him. Gu Bai had just taken a bath so his eyes were still wet and misty. He felt a bit entranced gazing deeply into those eyes. Suddenly, he felt a little embarra.s.sed and shrank back, “I didn’t know that it would be that. Really.”
Gu Bai subconsciously wanted to rub his head but when he thought that it wasn"t time yet, he sighed ruefully and sat down beside him. “I know, you"ve lost your memory.”
Qi Le softly grunted in agreement and continued to study Gu Bai. He didn"t know if it was just his illusion but he felt that Gu Bai appeared more handsome than before.
Gu Bai glanced at the computer, “Are these all..?”
Qi Le turned his head and found that only the video had been turned off but the doc.u.ments were still exposed. He pursed his lips and said, “I think so…”
He selected all the videos and subconsciously wanted to delete them, but on second thought, he felt he had to study them diligently. So he gritted his teeth, clicked the "x" in the upper right corner and closed the file.
Gu Bai originally thought that with Xiao Le’s temper, he would"ve deleted those videos, but he didn"t expect him to leave them. Did this mean that he wanted to give it a try? His heart skipped a beat as he felt a strong wave of emotions wash over him. At this exact moment, all he wanted was to tightly hold this person in his arms.
The person he had always liked was willing to take this step for him, willing to try. To him, this was enough.
Qi Le flipped through the other hard disks and found nothing related to his studies. He was immediately disappointed and looked at Gu Bai, “… I need study materials.”
Gu Bai regained his senses and nodded, “I"ll help you ask.”
Qi Le watched him make a call and thought that it was a good thing Zheng Xiaoyuan wasn’t in the same school as he previously was. Otherwise, Gu Bai would have to call the student body president and speak to that Taoist priest who would definitely get him to spend 20 yuan to buy a “pa.s.sing” talisman.
Gu Bai hung up quickly and turned to look at him, “He says he"ll send it.”
Qi Le finally felt relieved. Looking at the time, he felt that it was about time to get ready for bed. Naturally, Gu Bai was reluctant to let him sleep on the sofa. So he thought for a moment and said, “Sleep in my bedroom. I"ll sleep in Xiao Le’s room.”
Qi Le was surprised, “Didn"t you say you can"t sleep in his room?”
“Mmm, it was like that before but I"ve been sleeping in his room these past few days.” Gu Bai said faintly, “I found that I would dream about him occasionally.”
A spring-dream? It must be a spring-dream, right? Aren’t you afraid of dying from excess e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.n in your dreams? Qi Le lamented in his heart and got up, entered the bedroom and lay down in the big bed, falling asleep contentedly. He thought that he would sleep till morning but he was suddenly woken up in the middle of the night. He drifted outside in a daze, “……What’s the matter?”
Gu Bai turned on the lights in the living room, “Someone"s knocking on the door.”
Qi Le looked at the clock on the wall and found that it was already over 3 am. Who would come at this time? He silently watched Lu Yanbin slowly stepping in.
Qi Le, “……”
Lu Yanbin kept quiet, not saying as word as he calmly walked past him to the bedroom. Seeing the empty bed, he opened the closet but still didn"t see anyone.
Qi Le said, “He"s not here.”
Lu Yanbin nodded, turned and went to the other bedroom. Qi Le pouted, “He doesn"t get it, does he?"
“Speak, I"m listening.” Lu Yanbin exited the bedroom, went to the bathroom and started walking towards the kitchen.
“He"s not here. He"s not in this apartment,” Gu Bai faintly explained.
Lu Yanbin paused and nodded, but just as he was about to leave the kitchen, he went and opened the refrigerator. Only then, did he calmly walk back to the living room.
Qi Le, “……”
Gu Bai, “……”
“Your older brother said that he was taken away,” Lu Yanbin looked at Qi Le. “Where is he?”
“I don’t know. He wanted help but I told him I couldn’t help him, so he left.” Qi Le looked at him sincerely, thinking to himself that he couldn"t sell that idiot out again. If he was offended and told Gu Bai the truth, he would be done for.
Lu Yanbin looked at him. “I heard there was someone else. Who is he?”
Qi Le blinked innocently, “I don’t know what his name is, but I know him from the hospital. He"s a strange one. After a few words with him, I sent him away.”
Lu Yanbin listened quietly and thought that it was similar to what Ye Shuichuan said. He apologized and got ready to leave.
Qi Le thought for a moment and said tentatively, “Actually… you can’t force him. If he can run once or twice, then he can run a third or fourth time, right?”
Lu Yanbin suddenly stopped and turned back, “Force him?”
“He doesn’t agree to that… You should occasionally respect his wishes."
Lu Yanbin took out his cell phone, flipped through and handed it over to Qi Le. He found that it was a picture of Yi Hang. He was wearing an oversized pajamas, looking up from the corner of the bed, like a doe-eyed, innocent little cutie. His lips twitched, “What is this?”
Lu Yanbin said calmly, “Every night when I try to sleep with him, this is how he responds, nesting in the corner, saying that he doesn"t want to. There"s also a limit to my endurance.”
Qi Le, “……”
d.a.m.n it, what an idiot! It"s no wonder he would say that he wanted to get rid of his ident.i.ty as a human being after two days. This was a great example of asking for it!
