Qi Le handed the cellphone back to Lu Yanbin and asked in confusion, “Since you can’t stand seeing him like this and feel that you"re about to lose control, why do you still take such photos? Don"t tell me you want to use this as your desktop saver?"
“No, I wanted to show it to friends and get them to help me a.n.a.lyze it,” Lu Yanbin said calmly. “I wanted to see if there"s a problem with my self-control or if he"s the one with the problem. As a result, they all said the same thing.”
Qi Le remained silent for a moment and asked tentatively, “……Asking for it?”
“No, f.u.c.k him.”
Qi Le, “……”
“So this isn"t a problem,” said Lu Yanbin faintly. “I think my friend’s idea is rather good.”
Qi Le didn"t say anything, thinking that it was best not to let him catch Yi Hang. Otherwise, even if he asked G.o.d for help, he couldn"t help him.
Lu Yanbin looked at him. “You really don’t know where he went?”
“Really,” Qi Le said sincerely. “He left after I refused to give him advice. He didn’t say where he was going. To be honest, I don"t know him very well either.”
Lu Yanbin was silent for a moment and subconsciously wanted to say something but then, the phone suddenly rang. He picked up the call, “h.e.l.lo, is he over there? Mmm… forget it, I don"t think he"ll be there. Just go home.” He hung up and looked at them, “He"s not at the cemetery either.”
Gu Bai and Qi Le looked at the clock hanging on the wall at the same time, thinking to themselves that being this guy"s staff or friends was such a misery. At 3 o’clock in the morning they were sent to the cemetery to look for Yi Hang. What if they fell ill?
Lu Yanbin felt that it was useless to stay, so he was ready to leave. Before leaving, he looked at Qi Le again, “Call me if you think of anything. I still can’t find him and I"m afraid that he"ll go to some strange or dangerous place.”
They both sent him out and Qi Le comforted, “He isn"t a child. He can take care of himself. What weird place could he have gone to?”
Lu Yanbin thought for a moment and said calmly, “Transporting pigs.”
Gu Bai, “……”
Qi Le, “……”
In their minds, the image of Yi Hang moving his family"s pig cages in silence flashed past. Then, a group of pigs chased after him into the corner so he had no choice but to grab the iron railings with both hands. As the car started, all that was left was a series of sorrowful cries. “No~”
Qi Le’s face twisted. He really wanted to pry this man"s head open and see what was inside. He looked at Gu Bai who was standing beside him and guessed that he must be thinking the same thing as well despite looking calm on the outside.
“Don’t look at me like this,” Lu Yanbin raised his eyebrows slightly. “He said that he would drive a pig truck and lift bricks outside the city. He told me so, but I"ve already looked for him at the farm and didn’t find him. Now, I"m just worried that he might get into the wrong car in a daze,” he paused. “For example, someone that illegally trades organs in the black market.”
Gu Bai, “…”
Qi Le, “=口=”
They both imagined Yi Hang being pulled into a bas.e.m.e.nt and strapped to the operating table. Today, one kidney is removed, tomorrow, the other one, and the day after, his cornea is cut out. They thought that it was better to drive a pig truck. Qi Le saw that he was about to speak again and got the feeling that he wanted to say something strange again, such as a prison bus or a funeral car. He interrupted him first, “Don’t worry, he’s not that stupid.” He struggled for a moment and hesitated whether or not he should say more to stop his paranoia. “Seeing that he left with that guy, I don"t think anything will happen, right?"
Lu Yanbin immediately asked, “Who is that guy? What does he do?”
“I know him from the hospital. That"s all I know."
Lu Yanbin looked at Gu Bai, the inquiry in his look obvious. Qi Le also silently looked at him. Gu Bai had also seen that hot-blooded idiot in the hospital so he knew that he was a new psychiatric doctor. He just didn’t know if he had noticed the idiot in the bar. But it didn"t matter if Gu Bai told Lu Yanbin or not, as long as it wasn"t him who leaked out his whereabouts.
Gu Bai had been standing beside Xiao Le the entire time. Seeing that he didn"t answer, he shook his head, “I wasn"t paying attention.”
Lu Yanbin thought for a moment and looked at Qi Le. “I remember that there was another person staying in your ward. Where does he live?”
“School.” Qi Le simply gave an address and watched him leave. He thought it was too late right now so he would probably go in the daytime. He wasn"t sure how he would react if the Taoist priest asked him to buy a talisman. However, according to his Martian mentality, he might actually buy one. But since the Taoist priest knew of the existence of the hot-blooded doctor, he might tell him after all.
“It’s already late. Go back to sleep.” Gu Bai shut the door.
Qi Le nodded. He didn"t feel anything earlier but now that he took a few steps, he felt his fuzzy head buzz. He drifted back into the bedroom and stumbled into bed, quickly falling asleep. After this episode, he didn’t wake up until late in the morning. It was already bright outside. Yawning slightly, he lazily put on his clothes and got out of bed to wash up.
Gu Bai was fiddling with his computer on the sofa. Seeing that he was awake, he said, “Your study materials have been sent and downloaded to your computer. You can look at them yourself later. Breakfast is still hot. Go and eat.”
Qi Le nodded and headed into the bathroom. Gu Bai watched as his figure disappeared, his mouth curved in a warm smile. Looking at the Scottish fold cat that wanted to chase after Qi Le, he suddenly felt that it was really nice to have this kind of warmth.
Qi Le began to study after breakfast. He only brought three books with him, which wasn"t enough at all. He flipped through them and wanted to go back to Ye Shuichuan"s place to look for the other two. Naturally, Gu Bai, who was idle, drove him there. They quickly arrived at Ye Shuichuan’s apartment and stepped out of the car only to unexpectedly find a familiar face nearby. The other party had also caught sight of him and immediately rushed over. “Finally you"re here!”
Qi Le looked at this idiot in shock, “What are you doing here?”
“I’ve been here for awhile but I forgot where you live so I’ve been circling around,” said Yi Hang, his eyes aglow and his face full of indignation. “The psychiatrist kept on asking questions and I couldn’t sleep well. I was so fed up I ran away.”
“…” Qi Le"s lips twitched, “How did you get out?”
“I chatted with him all night until morning. I wanted to leave but I was afraid he would follow me, so I told him I was going to buy breakfast,” Yi Hang simply explained. “He wanted to go with me but I didn’t agree. Oh, last night he asked what the motherwort is for. He asked whether I would feel uncomfortable if I didn"t drink any all day. In the morning, he scribbled on his notebook while asking me if I must go out to buy breakfast alone or if I would feel uncomfortable if I didn’t do so. Only when I said yes did he finally let me go out alone. Then, I ran away.” He paused slightly, “Tell me, do you think that f.u.c.king idiot went to work or is he still waiting for me?"
“…” Qi Le thought that it was hard to say what this idiot would do.
