“Anyways, I won’t live with him anymore, otherwise I’ll be driven mad by him. I don’t want to hide either,” Yi Hang looked at him expectantly. “Have you thought of some way to stop that bastard from bursting my chrysanthemum?”

Qi Le pondered silently whether or not to tell him the painful truth. After thinking about it, he said, “I haven’t thought about it yet. Oh, the man was looking for you all night. If he can’t find you today, he’ll come back and ask. Where will you hide?”

Yi Hang looked around in horror. “I don’t know either. I can’t go back until you come up with a good idea. Can I go to the bar? There’s a lot of people so it’s easy to hide there. Plus, that bastard won’t go to that bar.”

Qi Le raised his eyebrows slightly, “How do you know he won’t go?”

“He likes to go to another gay bar. He occasionally gets together with friends to drink. He went there once a few days ago. That’s how I know.”

Qi Le looked at Gu Bai and asked, “Is there another one?”

“More than that.” Gu Bai explained, “The bar that they frequent should be a high class one. There are more students in the bar where you work.”

Qi Le couldn’t help but wonder, since Lu Yanbin didn’t go there, how did he know Zheng Xiaoyuan? And he even knew him so well. Was his reputation so bad that even those elites knew about him? No, even if he was infamous, Ye Shuichuan and Shen Shu weren’t that well-known, were they? So how exactly did he learn that there was no one normal around him?

Gu Bai looked at him, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Qi Le snapped out of his daze and looked at Yi Hang. “Are you going upstairs with us? We’re going up to get something?”

Yi Hang remembered that Ye Shuichuan had the bastard’s number and shook his head hastily for fear that he might tip him off. “No, I want to sleep now,” he said, pointing at Gu Bai’s car. “I’ll get into the car and sleep while I wait for you. Then, we’ll go to the bar at night, okay?”

Qi Le looked at Gu Bai who didn’t look like he had a problem with that. Gu Bai opened the car door and let Yi Hang in. Then, he slowly went upstairs and casually asked, “Aren’t you going to call Lu Yanbin?”

Qi Le couldn’t tell him that he was afraid of revealing the truth. He pretended to say, “No, after all, we know each other. How can I watched him get eaten?” He added inside, although this idiot was asking for it...

Gu Bai looked at him and didn’t ask again. He entered the apartment with him and heard some obvious sounds coming from Ye Shuichuan’s room. He was shocked at once. “They are...?”

Qi Le, “......”

Fuck! This didn’t make any sense ah! He clearly looked at the time before coming out. It was nearly noon now. His brother-in-law should have gone to work by now. Why was his older brother still rolling in the sheets with his brother-in-law? He went up quietly, listened with his ear against the door of their bedroom, confirmed that it was his brother-in-law, then turned back, “Um... Sorry you have to see this.”

Gu Bai kept quiet, feeling that there was something wrong with his reaction. Shouldn’t he react the same as he did after seeing the GV last night?

Qi Le had been listening to this sort of noise for quite some time and was now calm. He invited Gu Bai to have a seat and went to his own bedroom to look for his books. But after searching for a long time, he found nothing. Grabbing a packet of snacks, he sat beside him and said, “I didn’t find anything. I’ll ask him when they’re done. Here, have some. They won’t come out for a while.” He hummed a tune while he leisurely snacked. Then, he felt Gu Bai’s gaze on him and turned to look at him, “What’s up?”

“...Nothing.”

Qi Le mumbled an "Mmm" and continued eating.

Gu Bai, “...”

The sounds over there were loud and intense as if they were doing it right at the door of their bedroom. Gu Bai couldn’t help looking over there. Soon, he saw the door open a little. He saw Ye Shuichuan propped against the door frame, his face flushed. “Don’t... I can’t anymore... Ahh...” He opened his misty eyes and saw Gu Bai sitting on the sofa. He was shocked, “Oh my God!”

The door was immediately closed again and then a voice rang out, “Damn it, that’s enough! We have guests. Laozi doesn’t care if you’ve cum or not! I said I don’t want to. Go take a shower.” As soon as his words fell, Ye Shuichuan came out, wearing oversized pajamas. He smiled at Gu Bai and headed to the bathroom. At the same time, a man followed behind him with a bath towel around his waist and walked in gleefully, “Baby, you’re so cute when you lose your temper."

“No, don’t... Uh-hnhh...” The two continued to "fight" as soon as the bathroom door was closed.

Gu Bai, “...”

Qi Le looked at him, then at the shrimp cracker in his hand and asked tentatively, “Um... are you going to eat that?”

“...” Gu Bai quietly handed it to him, his gaze rather complicated. He used to protect this person so well, not even allowing him to watch an AV. But now, things unexpectedly turned out like this. Was his original decision right or wrong?

The two didn’t last long and were soon done with their shower. Qi Le asked Ye Shuichuan to help him look for his books. When he returned to the living room, he saw his brother-in-law chatting with Gu Bai, a friendly look on his face as he asked, “What’s your relationship with Xiaoyuan? Are the rumors circulating in the circle true? Are you living together now? Is it because of the cat? Is it really because of the cat?”

After observing for a moment, Qi Le shuffled over. “Brother-in-law, are you sure you don’t like gossiping?”

“No. Um, one of my friends likes it,” Zhong Ruiyuan explained. “So I often talk to him about this.”

It turned out that his brother-in-law really didn’t have any interest in this... Qi Le nodded understandingly, paused and suddenly asked, “What’s the name of that friend?”

“Lu Yanbin.”

Qi Le, “......”

Fuck! Must it be this dog-blooded?! Did Lu Yanbin really like gossip? You really can’t judge a book by its cover.

Zhong Ruiyuan laughed as he said, “He doesn’t come out very often and we only get together occasionally. If it weren’t for his visit yesterday, I wouldn’t know that he’s still active in society. I went to the cemetery to help him look for Yi Hang last night but I didn’t find him. I don’t know if he’s found him yet.”

Qi Le, “......”

Gu Bai, “......”

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” Qi Le felt that he shouldn’t think too much. He silently comforted himself that this only showed that his brother-in-law was brave, not that he was abnormal.

Ye Shuichuan happened to come out at this moment and handed him his books. Qi Le took them and left at once. He didn’t want to stay any longer for fear that he would discover that his brother-in-law was also another nutjob. Gu Bai followed up and felt that he had to carefully watch Xiao Le in the future. He couldn’t allow him to always mix with a group of mentally ill people, or else he would pick up the wrong things.

They quickly went downstairs. Yi Hang had already fallen asleep and was quiet the entire way, not waking up until the Gu Bai’s car stopped in front of his apartment. He didn’t sleep anymore but obediently sat beside Qi Le, being as well-behaved as he could possibly be.

Gu Bai was mercilessly ignored by Xiao Le. He silently watched the two pleasantly chatting and thought to himself that their couple time was ruined just like that. He pondered for a moment, pulling out his cellphone to send Lu Yanbin a text.
