For the next few days, Gu Hai was able to profit greatly from the clock disaster.

The old hanging clock left a huge bruise on Gu Hai's knee, and he couldn't bend his knee when walking. To make up for Gu Hai's pain, Bai Luo Yin can only wait on Gu Hai on behalf of his entire family. He had to take Gu Hai to and from school on the bike, carry Gu Hai's breakfast right up to him, and support him when he's walking. The only thing Bai Luo Yin hasn't done is help Gu Hai hold his bird when he's using the restaurant.

After the clock fell on Gu Hai, he became even more daring. Every night, he would go to Bai Luo Yin's house and eat for free. When he's done eating, he would laze around until the sky turned dark and then use the excuse that it's inconvenient for him to move around to stay the night. It was as if he was trying to extort the Bai family for all they had.

Plus, Bai Luo Yin discovered that Gu Hai has a bad habit.

He loves to hug people.

Every night when they are sleeping and Bai Luo Yin is in that dazed state between sleep and wakefulness, he would feel an arm snake out and hug his body. Because the bed is narrow and there's not a lot of room to move about, Bai Luo Yin didn't pay much attention to it. However, Gu Hai still has this problem when they're on the bike and would loop his arms around Bai Luo Yin's waist for no apparent reason.

Bai Luo Yin is extremely annoyed by this. Say, you're a full-grown man, why are you so touchy and huggy?

So, before they got on the bike this morning, Bai Luo Yin made sure to stress one point.

"I'm telling you, don't hug me!"

Gu Hai stared at Bai Luo Yin, his gaze full of an unidentifiable emotion, "Why don't you let me hug you?"

Is this something you still need to ask?! Bai Luo Yin has discovered that Gu Hai is the type of person who is really good at making people annoyed and angry. Nine words out of every ten words that come out of his mouth can't be taken seriously!

In the end, Bai Luo Yin only replied with two words.

"It's disgusting!"

In the past, if Gu Hai saw a man hugging another man, he would also feel uncomfortable and annoyed. However, everything has an exception, and Bai Luo Yin is that exception. What Gu Hai is obsessed with is not Bai Luo Yin's waist, but the expression he makes after Gu Hai touches him, the silent endurance, the awkwardness, yet too ashamed to say anything...

The first half of the journey to school was quite peaceful. However, when they went around a corner in the road, Gu Hai's hands once again reached out. This time, he didn't hug Bai Luo Yin but traced the hem of Bai Luo Yin's shirt with his hands and then reached under.

His hands came in direct contact with Bai Luo Yin's smooth back.

All the hairs on Bai Luo Yin's body instantly stood straight up as if he was sitting on an electric panel.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Luo Yin finally yelled at Gu Hai, fire in his voice.

Gu Hai's palms rubbed against Bai Luo Yin's back, and then he turned his hand around, pressing the back of his hands to his spine. Bit by bit, he rubbed slowly as if he was deliberately trying to wear away at Bai Luo Yin's willpower.

"I'm borrowing your body heat to warm my hands!"

Bai Luo Yin's face turned green. Your hands are warmer than my body, who are you trying to warm up, huh? I will tolerate you for a few more days, but when your leg is completely healed, see how I'm going to pay you back for this! You bastard!

"Gu Hai, someone is looking for you outside."

Gu Hai turned around to look at Bai Luo Yin.

Without pause, Bai Luo Yin gestured with his hand, indicating, "I'm not helping you. Whoever wants to help you can do it."

Gu Hai hopped on a single leg to the back door of the class. As soon as he left Bai Luo Yin's line of sight, he immediately started walking normally again. It can even be said that his feet grew wings as he strode valiantly down the hallway.

When he saw the person, Gu Hai inwardly rejoiced that Bai Luo Yin did not come with him.

Sun Jing Wei saw Gu Hai walking towards him, and his anxious heart finally started to relax. He smiled as he walked to Gu Hai and patted his shoulders, saying in a light tone, "My Young Master, I finally found you."

Gu Hai's face instantly dropped.

"What are you doing here?"

"There's something we need you for. Let's talk in the car."

Gu Hai furrowed his brow, resistance clear in his features.

"If you have something to say, just say it here. I don't have the energy to go outside with you."

Sun Jing Wei lowered his head, "The problem is, the person who wants to talk to you isn't me."

The vein on Gu Hai's forehead twitched, "Then you can just leave."

After talking, he simply turned around, ready to walk away.

"The general said, if I can't get the person, there is no need for me to return."

Gu Hai paused for a moment. Out of the corner of his eye, he took in the imposing military vehicle and Sun Jing Wei's clear military background. He then looked up and saw that the window on the third floor was open. Bai Luo Yin only needs to walk out of the classroom to see the corner where Gu Hai is at.

"Let's go."

Expressionless, Gu Hai got in the car.
