"Trrrrrr!"

The startling ring of the alarm clock jolted Gu Hai out of his sleep. He shut up the annoying alarm, and instantly glanced back. Thank God! Bai Luo Yin still slept soundly; his eyes lingered to appreciate the calming beauty of the moment.

Both of their phones kept on vibrating, with clear expression of resentment, he picked both phones up, and tip-toed out of the bedroom.

"Boss where are you? I thought we were supposed to go over the new branch plan today. Have you talked with Bai Luo Yin about it? what did he say?"

His brain had yet to fully wake up, nevertheless, Tong Zhe bombarded him with a bundle of questions. "I am taking a few days off," he answered. "I haven't talked with Yin Zi yet, so let's postpone the new branch conversation for another day. Can I trust you to fill in for me for the next few days?"

"You know you can boss." Tong Zhe's voice flaunted pride and importance.

"Great, I will be in contact with you then."

He then let out a long quiet sigh before he reluctantly answered Bai Luo Yin's phone. He always considered the invention of modern-days advanced technology as a blessing and a curse at the same time. Where are the days that he could snuggle his baby for hours without their smartphones buzzing them out of the delightful warmth?

"What?" he said, not bothering to mask his irritation.

"Gu Hai?!" Ling Yun clenched his palm around his phone. "Where the fuck is Bai Luo Yin?" he roared.

Not one to be intimidated by the fury of brigadier general Yun, Gu Hai kept his tone rather nonchalant. "Yin Zi doesn't feel well, he will take a sick leave for the next few days, he will give you the doctor's certificate when he will return to the base."

"Who do you think you are talking to?" Ling Yun roared again, and Gu Hai had to distance the phone from his ear. "Gu Hai! The military is not a joke! You can't just take days off whenever you feel like it. We have rules in this brigade, a soldier must submit his sick leave request seventy-two hours in advance, and in case of an emergency twenty- four hours in advance. To my knowledge, Bai Luo Yin didn't submit a request of sick leave, or any other request of any kind. Tell him he has an hour to report to the base."

Gu Hai glared at his phone as his eyes completed a full circle. Thanks, like I didn't know that already, my father is the fucking general for god's sakes! "You cannot be serious; I am telling you; he is not feeling well. He is not a freakin prophet, he didn't know he will be sick. This is an emergency, give him a break, and I will make sure he will have a doctor's certificate for you when he returns."

It seemed like brigadier general Yun spent a bit too much time with the Gu brothers, and Bai Luo Yin. It took him not more than a number of seconds to understand exactly what's going on. His shout almost punctured Gu Hai's ear.
