-

Gu Hai had been absent from school for five days.

Bai Luo Yin collected a pile of Gu Hai's things, his homework, test papers, sports stuffs, and also a letter addressed to his guardian.....

After the second period in the afternoon, Dan Xiao Xuan passed a slip of paper to Bai Luo Yin.

I heard that Gu Hai is going to transfer schools, is it true?

Bai Luo Yin stared blankly at that slip of paper, it's the first time for him to reply a paper, previously he would've just crush it right after he read them.

How do you know?

Dan Xiao Xuan passed the paper back.

Today, I went to the homeroom teacher's office, it seemed like she was talking with other teacher about this matter.

Bai Luo Yin didn't reply anymore, his mind was wandering throughout the entire class.

.....

"Dad, I'm going out for a bit."

"It's late already, where are you going?" Bai Han Qi went out and ran after him, "Are you not having dinner?"

Bai Luo Yin already rode the bike and turned at the alley.

The place where Gu Hai was staying was located at the busiest area of Beijing. Compared to the alley where Bai Luo Yin lived, this place had a completely different atmosphere. One had a pure, old local flavor of Beijing, while the other one was full of strong and modern business atmosphere. Passing through one after another spacious streets, everything he saw were expensive cars, high-level senior executives, beautiful women, successful public figures....

After pressing the doorbell, a middle-aged woman with a composed look opened the door.

"Excuse me, is Gu Hai living here?"

The middle-aged woman scrutinized Bai Luo Yin from head to toe, she had a bit suspicion and examined him.

"Who are you?"

"I'm his classmate."

That middle-aged woman saw that Bai Luo Yin was not that old, there's a hint of innocence on his face that he couldn't hide, the possibility of him being a swindler was not big, so she brought him downstairs to a private room.

Gu Hai was lying on the bed, enjoying the massage therapist's good service.

His current life right now is completely relaxing but also became dull. Every morning, he exercises at the gym, in the afternoon he stays at home, at night he always gets a massage in the clubhouse, and occasionally he would ask a therapist to come and enlighten his mind.

"Mr. Gu, there is someone looking for you, he said he's your classmate, I just want to ask, is it okay to let him in?"

Gu Hai was laying on the massage bed, he didn't open his eyes, his tone carried a hint of laziness and indifference.

"Let him in."

Two minutes later, the middle-aged woman brought Bai Luo Yin inside.

They hadn't seen each other for a whole seven days, and the moment when Bai Luo Yin saw Gu Hai, he suddenly felt that the distance between them has become really far.

After a long time, he didn't hear any sound, Gu Hai opened his eyes slightly, and he saw a face that was familiar, yet unfamiliar to him at the same time. The hole in his heart that had barely healed was suddenly ripped open again in a flash, the therapist's words were completely tossed to the back of his mind, the massage that was formerly comfortable suddenly turned painful.
