Are You Addicted? (English Translation Vol 1)

Chapter 53: It's that Idiot!

When the Ferris wheel rose to the very top, the beautiful night view of Tianjin spread out before them.

In the couple's car, there were only Jin Lu Lu and Gu Hai.

Jin Lu Lu pulled on Gu Hai's arm and pointed east at the night sky, "Look, the moon tonight is so round."

However, to Gu Hai, the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival is never round.

In his heart, there is always a hole. Holidays, when family members are supposed to reunite and celebrate together, are the most difficult times of the year for him. He originally wanted to continue to freeload and eat at Bai Luo Yin's house, but Jiang Yuan's appearance yesterday dispelled that idea. He realized that when he is feeling at his lowest, the person he does not want to see the most is Bai Luo Yin.

Or perhaps it's because he has been so happy these days that he almost doesn't know what to do with himself and can't imagine walking through the front door of the Bai residence with a gloomy face.

Whatever, he just has to make do these couple of days!

At night, after 11 o'clock, there weren't many people on the streets, most of them couples. Since it was so hard for Gu Hai to have a break and come see her, Jin Lu Lu must do all the usual things couples do with Gu Hai. One after another, she dragged Gu Hai into numerous stores, tirelessly asking the employees the price of an item or picking up two items to compare them. Occasionally, she would ask Gu Hai's opinion, and he would always say they're both good.

"There's a lingerie store upfront. You should come with me and take a look."

A cigarette was dangling from Gu Hai's mouth, and when he heard her words, he took a sharp inhale, blowing smoke all over Jin Lu Lu's face.

"Do you still need to wear undergarments? It's all flat there..."

Jin Lu Lu fiercely hit Gu Hai's chest a few times, annoyed, "You're so mean!"

Gu Hai smiled but did not speak.

Seeing Gu Hai's face behind the smokey haze, his face seeming to blur the lines between reality and the imaginary, Jin Lu Lu was suddenly struck dumb. At that moment, she didn't know what she should say, a sweet yet sour feeling in her heart, an unnameable feeling from knowing that this person belongs to her.

Jin Lu Lu went inside, leaving Gu Hai to smoke by himself on the side of the road.

Next to the lingerie store was a dessert shop. At this time, its business is very good, each customer leaving the shop carrying a beautifully wrapped box of mooncakes. Many types of mooncakes with different fillings were displayed in the shop window: nuts and kernels, sausage, sweet bean paste, jujube paste, fruit...and egg yolk with lotus paste.

Gu Hai snubbed out his cigarette and silently watched the boxes of mooncakes gradually disappear through the shop window.

...

Before Bai Luo Yin turned in for the night, Bai Han Qi came into Bai Luo Yin's room.

"Why didn't Da Hai come by today?"

Bai Luo Yin pulled the blanket higher, an indifferent expression on his face.

"How would I know? It's actually better that he didn't come. When he's here, I can never get a good night's rest."

Bai Han Qi sat on the bed and stared at Bai Luo Yin, "Then why didn't you ask? I saw that you rode his bicycle back home. Is he okay?"

"A grown man like him, what could have happened to him?"
