That’s not right. Qi Le’s face was pale. That wasn’t the important thing. The point was that if Wan Lei couldn’t handle the stimulation and gave him a blow to the head, he would die! What would happen to Gu Bai then? They had finally made it after going through so many hardships together. Was it going to be like those dog blood dramas where they separated during their happiest times? And what if some other soul entered this body, fell in love with Gu Bai at first sight the moment he opened his eyes, hooked his arms around Gu Bai’s neck and made out with him without saying a word? In such a short period of time, Gu Bai probably couldn’t tell if his soul had been switched or not... Qi Le imagined someone else making out with Gu Bai and his expression turned ferocious in an instant. He vowed that if that day came, he would climb back from the underworld and kick the man down even if he had to crawl his way back up.

Ning Xiao finally reached the pathway. He stood with his back against the railing and noticed a certain someone’s ugly look. He couldn’t help but frown. “What’s the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

When Qi Le snapped out of it, he found that they had come to the fountain. There was the splashing sound of the water and even the air was covered with water vapor, which sprinkled onto his face. It left a cold sensation on his skin. He looked at the person in front of him and said, “Go ahead, what do you want?”

Ning Xiao froze and looked at him coldly. “What kind of person do you think I am?”

Qi Le was also shocked. He then changed the subject. “Well how did you find out?”

Ning Xiao simply narrated the whole story again. Qi Le’s lips were twitching. He had been glad when he thought that his drunken speech could help him get rid of the suspicion of “transmigrating”. But now, that had become the point of breakthrough for this man. He sighed. “Who else knows about this?”

“No one.”

Qi Le’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Didn’t you tell Wan Lei?”

Ning Xiao didn’t answer and asked instead, “Why should I tell him?” As soon as the words fell, he could see that the man was obviously relieved. He couldn’t help wondering. “Are you very afraid of him?”

Qi Le blinked. “No.”

Ning Xiao knew that this man didn’t believe him and pretended to pick up his cellphone. “Then I’ll tell him.”

“Fuck! Don’t!” Qi Le was frightened and rushed forward. Ning Xiao looked at him quietly. Qi Le resigned himself to his fate. “Fine, I’ll admit it.”

Ning Xiao gave a satisfied grunt, listened to him and promised. “Don’t worry, I won’t say anything.”

Qi Le was happy at once. “Class has already started. Do you have anything else? If not, let’s go back to class.”

Ning Xiao suddenly felt that Qi Le was a little heartless yet it was difficult to hate him. He thought about it and said, "Gu Bai and you...” He paused, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, which was rare for him. Qi Le subconsciously felt that he was running away from something but saw that he soon went back to normal and straightened up. “It’s okay. Let’s go back.”

Qi Le looked at him in surprise but didn’t say anything after all. He turned and walked away. Ning Xiao walked beside him and looked at him. “Qi Le.”

“Hmm?”

“I don’t like Zheng Xiaoyuan and I don’t like this name either. I’ll call you Qi Le when there’s no one around.”

“...Up to you.”

“Qi Le.”

“Hmm?”

“Nothing, I just felt like calling your name.”

“...” Qi Le moved his lips but at the thought that this man was willing to help him keep his secret, he swallowed back the words "you’re crazy.” When they entered the classroom, they were already halfway through the second class. The people inside saw them come in together and looked at them. Qi Le, who had a dark expression, went back to his seat and obediently paid attention to the lecture. At noon, he went downstairs and waited for Gu Bai to go home together.

Father Qi and Mother Qi were busy with the business and couldn’t stay any longer. The national day holiday was in a few days, so they agreed to go over and stay a few days with them. Qi Le and Gu Bai sent them to the airport. It still wasn’t boarding time yet. Father Qi looked at his precious son, then looked at Gu Bai. He grabbed Gu Bai’s hand and sighed emotionally. “I only have this son whom I will marry off. You have to take good care of him.”

Qi Le, “......”

Gu Bai was particularly calm. “Don’t worry, uncle. I will.”

Father Qi nodded satisfactorily. The child who stood beside him heard his words and looked up. “Dad, what about me? Aren’t I also a son whom you will marry off?”

Father Qi took a second to respond. “No, you won’t be married off. Someone else will be married off to you.”

“Why? Is there any difference? “

“Yes, Dad will explain it to you later.” Father Qi rubbed his head. Then, he thought about it and felt that he had to cultivate the child’s correct sexual orientation from an early age. After all, he still thought that in the future, his younger son could give one of his children to Qi Le to adopt and take care of them when they grew old. He looked at him, his gaze filled with love. “Son, you have to like girls, got it?”

The child froze. “I don’t like girls. I like Ultraman.”

Father Qi was silent for a moment before he said sharply, “Ultraman is a girl! So you must like girls in the future! “

Qi Le, “=口=”

Gu Bai, “...”

The child pondered about it and interjected, “But dad, I think he’s a man.”

“Believe me, don’t be fooled by her appearance. She’s a girl. I’ve asked her!”

The child was shocked. “Really?”

“Mmm!”

The child opened his mouth, opened it again, and finally walked to the side quietly to bask in his sorrow. He felt that his view of the world had been turned upside down.

“...” Qi Le said, “Dad, you have destroyed a young heart.”

“It’s all right. He will slowly get used to it.”

“...No, that’s not what I meant,” Qi Le looked at him. “Don’t you think something is wrong?”

“What could be wrong...” Father Qi suddenly froze. “Shit! What if he takes men as women in the future? Son! Son! Dad has something important to tell you!”

The child had just gotten over it. He got up and took his father’s hand. “Dad, I don’t like Utraman anymore. I decided to change to someone else. That girl is too ugly.”

Father Qi, “......”

Qi Le, “......”

Gu Bai, “...”

Mother Qi came back from the restroom and looked at them strangely. “What’s the matter?”

Qi Le shook his head vehemently. If his mother knew what his father had done, he would have to kneel on the washboard again. Mother Qi looked at Father Qi who was rather guilty. “I was just teaching our child to choose a beautiful idol to like.”

Mother Qi looked at him suspiciously and then asked her younger son, “Is that so?”

The child nodded. “Ultraman is too ugly.”

Mother Qi muttered "Mmm," and didn’t doubt him. When the time came, she waved goodbye and left holding Father Qi’s arm.

Qi Le watched them walk off and followed Gu Bai to the parking lot. Only then did he tell him that Ning Xiao already knew his identity. Gu Bai listened quietly and opened the door to get into the car. “He didn’t say anything else?”

“No.”

Gu Bai nodded. Although he didn’t like Ning Xiao very much, he knew that the man liked Xiao Le and would naturally stand by Xiao Le. Since the man said that he would keep it a secret, the most important thing now was to find a way to stop Wan Lei from thinking about his wife’s "multiple personality disorder.” He thought about it and said, “You’ll start your internship after National Day, right?”

“Mmm, the schedule has been handed in. Working hours will probably take up all my time.” Qi Le nestled in the passenger seat and said, “I won’t have any spare time to have fun.”

Gu Bai rubbed his head. “It’s still a few days before the 11th. Call the doctor and ask him to go to the bar tonight.”

Qi Le didn’t understand: “Why?”

Gu Bai leaned over to kiss him and looked at his wife up close, a smile appearing in the depths of his eyes. “I have a once-and-for-all way to get rid of that ticking time bomb.”
