Chapter 50: Chapter 28 part1

Gu Bai originally wanted to make an appointment for tomorrow. Naturally, he was happy when he heard Qi Le. He immediately picked up the small bowl containing cat food. The Scottish fold cat found that its food had suddenly disappeared when it was in the middle of eating. It stretched out its paws and reached out twice, but still couldn’t get to its food. With nothing left to do, it jumped back into its nest and angrily tore it apart again. “Meow, meow, meow!“

“...” Qi Le was quiet for a moment before he asked, “It’s calling? Didn’t you say it was too weak?"

Gu Bai remained calm and pretended to be confused. “I don’t know. I put the call on speaker. Do you think it heard your voice?”

Qi Le was almost touched to tears. “That could be it. Are you free right now?”

“Yes, I’ll come get you now.” Gu Bai paused for a second. “What’s that noise coming from your end?"

“It’s a long story,” Qi Le said. “Alright then. I’ll wait for you. Be careful on the road.”

“Mmm.” Gu Bai hung up the call and happily poured the cat food back into its package. When he put down the small bowl, the Scottish fold cat saw that it had gotten its bowl back. It leaned in happily only to be faced with an empty bowl. It jumped into its nest again. “Meow, meow, meow!~“

Gu Bai stroked its fur. “You’ll be able to eat soon. Don’t worry.”

The Scottish fold cat angrily pawed his hand aside and continued scratching, “Meow, meow, meow!~“

Gu Bai took his keys and left in a good mood. When he arrived at Qi Le’s apartment, he found that the man was already downstairs. He watched him get into the car and looked him up and down a few times, asking in confusion, “What’s the matter?”

Qi Le pouted and lightly answered, “Forget it, let’s go.”

Gu Bai looked at him again but decided not to continue questioning the latter. Soon, they arrived at Gu Bai’s place. The two men sat on the carpet, leaning against the bed as they looked down at the Scottish fold cat. Gu Bai looked amazed as he praised, “Only you have a way with it. It eats as soon as it sees you."

Qi Le muttered an "Mmm" in agreement and rubbed his son contentedly.

Gu Bai didn’t know what to say but it was nice to have him beside him even if they didn’t talk at all. He cherished this rare opportunity to be with Qi Le. After a while, he glanced at the time and said, “It’s too late. You should just sleep over."

Qi Le nodded, then froze. “I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

Gu Bai was surprised at his suggestion. What’s the matter with him? He actually wants to sleep on the sofa? He thought about it for a bit before saying, “It’s ok, you’ve done me a huge favor. You can sleep in the bedroom. I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

Qi Le didn’t speak immediately. Then, he asked, “Why don’t you sleep in this room?”

Gu Bai sighed, “This is Xiao Le’s room. I won’t be able to fall asleep here...”

Qi Le didn’t ask anymore. He got up and went to bed, falling asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. In his dream, he was holding a knife as he chased after the two men. He chased and chased, chasing them for a long time... But after a while the scene suddenly changed. This time, it was Gu Bai and him rolling in the sheets. The rolled around from the door to the sofa, form the sofa to the bedroom. A certain someone kept asking him if it felt good or not.

Gu Bai waited in the living room for a long time. He decided that he would wait till the man was almost asleep before slipping under the sheets and hugging him to sleep. Then, he would sneak back out again in the morning. Anyways, the man wouldn’t find out.

He climbed into bed, carefully held him in his arms, and happily kissed him on the cheek. Only then did he hear his painful moans, “Feels so good...”

Gu Bai, “...”

When, Qi Le opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright. He sat in bed in a daze for a long time before lying back down again, burying his head in his pillow. “Aiyo heavens ah, give me a way out, will you? This is really too stimulating ah...”

Hearing Qi Le’s voice, Gu Bai opened the door. “You’re up? What’s the matter with you?”

Qi Le turned around only to see that face. In his dream, this man kept forcing him to say that it felt good. And even after he said that, he still didn’t let him go. His face froze at once but he callously replied, “I’m fine.”

Gu Bai stared at him for a while. “Breakfast is ready.”

Qi Le nodded, casually got out of bed and washed up. He sat silently at the table, eating his breakfast. Gu Bai looked at him a few times before he asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

“I had a nightmare.”

Gu Bai remembered what he heard last night and arched an eyebrow. “What did you dream about?"

“I don’t quite remember.” Qi Le pursed his lips, but he roughly remembered what the dream was about! Damn it! He must kill those two men!

“How much do you remember?”

“I don’t know.”

Seeing that he couldn’t get any information, Gu Bai didn’t force him to share either. Qi Le fed the cat after breakfast and got up to leave. Gu Bai wanted to send him back but he refused. After he watched him leave, he called Ye Shuichuan without even thinking. It took a long time for the other end to connect. Ye Shuichuan’s voice sounded hazy, “Hello... Is there anything?”

“What happened to Xiaoyuan last night?”

“What happened to him?” Ye Shuichuan was still in a confused state when he replied. “He’s alright. He said he wanted to sleep and asked us to be quiet. He must’ve fallen asleep after that...”

Gu Bai was speechless. The man didn’t even know that Xiao Le had slept here. He asked and roughly understood what happened yesterday and finally hung up. He thought to himself that the man hadn’t even seen a porno. The stimulus he received last night must have been quite great. He probably couldn’t accept it at the moment. Gu Bai felt that things couldn’t continue like this. What was he to do if Qi Le was frightened by that? But... on second thought, if he allowed him to adapt little by little, would he also gradually bend?

Qi Le took his time in getting home. His older brother seemed to be suffering a lot from last night’s ordeal and was still asleep until now. However, the man was awake. He sat on the sofa, reading the newspaper in his pajamas. As soon as he saw Qi Le enter, he smiled and said, “You’re back. Where did you go so early in the morning? Have you eaten yet?”

Laozi left last night, thank you very much... Qi Le pursed his lips, “I’ve eaten.”

The man muttered an "Mmm," and waved him over, smiling kindly as he said, “Come and sit down.”

Qi Le thought that it was natural for the couple to be so passionate after being apart for so long. He sat down beside him and looked at him a few times, sizing him up. The man appeared to be less than 30 years old. He was quite good-looking, his eyes were deep and steady, and he seemed to belong to the successful, elite crowd. Lu Yanbin was often expressionless, which made it hard for others to see what he was thinking. This man, however, looked rather amiable and judging from his appearance... he seemed pretty normal.

The man asked, “You really don’t remember me?”

Qi Le shook his head. “What’s your name?”

“My surname is Zhong, Zhong Ruiyuan. I’m your brother-in-law.”

Qi Le listened to him with black lines all over his face. “I’ll remember that.”
