After spending an hour alone in an empty apartment, he shook himself out of it, sitting around alone drowning in destructive thoughts will get him nowhere, he picked up the phone and called his loyal deputy director general and friend Tong Zhe.

"Brother how about meeting me at a bar to have a drink tonight?"

"Yea sure, but give me a minute to ask my wife first." 

"Alright."

Tong Zhe covered the phone receiver with his left palm and glimpsed at Yan Ya Jing who rocked their baby in her arms, putting him to sleep.

"Honey is it okay with you if I will go out and have a drink with Gu Hai? or do you need my help around the house?"

"No, I will be fine here with the baby, he is half asleep as it is, go! go! and find out what is wrong with him, don't let him keep it all inside, it's really unhealthy."

He drove to a bar at the town square and met Gu Hai there, without noticing they spent hours drinking, talking about this and that, and joking about all kind of funny mistakes and misunderstandings that happened at work during the last few weeks.

Doesn't matter how many times Tong Zhe asked him what happened, and how can he help, Gu Hai refused to tell him the cause for his bad mood.

The Shi Hui's affair had to stay between him and Bai Luo Yin only, too many bad things happened to them because of that girl and Bai Luo Yin would never want him to spill the story, there was too much pain there, too much shame, guilt and embarrassment, he himself preferred to take that incident with him to the grave.

Every time the bitter taste of the incident showed its ugly face and floated to the surface, he pushed it down and crossed his fingers, praying, begging to God that no one else in the world will find out about this, ever. 

Around two in the morning they finished their third round, Yin Ya Jing came to pick up her husband and suggested him a ride but he waved at her saying:" No, thanks, I will manage."

From there he simply flagged a taxi and went home.

He turned the lock, opening the apartment door, he didn't expect Bai Luo Yin to be there, yet when he stared again into an empty apartment, his face has fallen, he could not help but to put his hand on his heart and sigh.

I miss you so fucking much, you little rascal.
