Are You Addicted? (English Translation Vol 1)

Chapter 55: The Exposed Gu Hai.

Under the narrow twin bed were two pairs of the same shoes.

Gu Hai laid on his side and saw Bai Luo Yin sprawled out on the bed, his body sated and relaxed. His tank top rode up, exposing a large part of his back. When the moonlight landed on his back, the bare skin looked like Aunt Zou's homemade tofu, smooth and soft. Gu Hai couldn't help but reach out a hand and touch Bai Luo Yin's back, feeling its smooth silkiness and the hardness beneath.

Bai Luo Yin leaned his head, his eyes half-closed. His gaze was lazy and relaxed, his temperament calm.

Gu Hai sucked in a long breath, his hand unconsciously moving up Bai Luo Yin's back.

Bai Luo Yin suddenly grabbed Gu Hai's hand as if he knew what Gu Hai was planning in his head.

"Do you know why I scolded you today?"

Fine, the trial is finally about to start. Gu Hai just knew that Bai Luo Yin wouldn't let him off so easily.

"Because I didn't tell you that I was going out for the past two days?"

Bai Luo Yin opened his eyes, looking like a melancholic flower quietly blossoming at night.

"Because when you were in a bad mood, you didn't come to me."

This simple sentence caused a surge of emotions to well up in Gu Hai's heart. He never thought that Bai Luo Yin is also quietly looking out for him, like how he acts toward Bai Luo Yin. Perhaps, between them two, even a mere glance can reveal the most hidden part of the other's heart, and a simple smile can affect the other's mood for a whole day... This type of deep connection seems to be inherent to who they are. Regardless of the length of time, their relationship has been strong and fiery from the very beginning.

After much difficulty, Gu Hai calmed down his erratic heart. He finally said, "I was afraid of affecting your mood."

"This is the main reason I scolded you today." Bai Luo Yin furrowed his brow, his hand lightly hitting the bed sheets, "You didn't see me as a friend, you just saw me as an outsider."

Seeing Bai Luo Yin's indignant expression, Gu Hai's eyes almost glowed with happiness. He have discovered that when Bai Luo Yin shows his true emotions, every expression is vivid and enchanting.

"You're thinking too much. I really don't see you as an outsider."

"Then what is it?"

Gu Hai really wanted to say, How can I be willing to let you be upset together with me?! But that sounds too unreasonable, how can he say that aloud! He's scared that if he really said that, the old clock hanging on the wall would fall down and smash onto him again.

"Don't ask about it. In the future, I will tell you everything. Is that okay with you?"

In the end, Bai Luo Yin is not someone who likes to argue over every little detail. When he heard Gu Hai's promise, his silence can be considered as his agreement.

The two were quiet for a long time. Gu Hai suddenly felt like he could confess his family background to Bai Luo Yin. Before, he didn't dare to say anything because he couldn't tell how Bai Luo Yin felt about him. But today, Bai Luo Yin's words made him feel quite emotional, so he decided to turn himself in.

"Actually, there's something I didn't tell you."

Bai Luo Yin snorted, "Are you going to tell me that you don't actually live around here, that your house is rented?"

"Uh..." Gu Hai shot up in bed, stunned, "How do you know?"

"The old couple who lives next to your rented house are my great-uncle and my great-aunt."
