Gu Bai didn’t want Lu Yanbin to come to the door because the other two would suspect that he had tipped them off. Then, his image in Xiao Le’s heart might take a hit, which was something he wanted to avoid at all cost. So he told Lu Yanbin that he got news that Yi Hang would show up in the bar tonight and to be prepared if he wanted to catch him back and eat him clean. Lu Yanbin quickly replied ok, after which, Gu Bai put away his cellphone and continued to sit without a change in his expression.

Lu Yanbin was standing in front of S University, a first-class university in C City. After several inquiries, he finally succeeded in finding the other patient. However, he suddenly got such important information so he didn’t need to ask any more. He looked at that person and said, “Since you don’t know his whereabouts, then I’ll go.”

The Taoist priest already knew the overall situation and said calmly, “If you’re worried, buy him a protective talisman for 20 yuan. Are you interested?”

Lu Yanbin didn’t answer his question and asked instead, “If I can’t find him, how am I supposed to give it to him if I buy it?”

The Taoist priest thought that his question was reasonable after all. He kept quiet for a moment and patiently said, “You can give it to him when you find him. If you can’t find him, you can use it on yourself. How about that?”

Lu Yanbin asked, “What’s the point of this thing?”

The Taoist priest solemnly replied, “It guarantees your safety and prevent evil spirits from possessing you. It really works.”

Lu Yanbin said, “Goodbye.”

The Taoist priest, “......”

Suddenly caught off guard, the Taoist priest was at a loss. Clearly, it had gone quite smoothly, how did it suddenly develop to this point? Did he do something wrong? Or does he think that he’s lying?

Lu Yanbin turned and left, thinking to himself that his wife had indeed been possessed by another spirit. What was he to do if his wife went to heaven? He quickly got into his car and was ready to go back to sleep to supplement his strength for tonight.

The Taoist priest stood in place and watched him leave in silence. After a long time, he sighed bitterly, “It’s not easy to make money these days.”

Yi Hang stayed in Qi Le’s place until evening. Because he felt that he was safe all day, he went up to Qi Le and asked naively, “Do you think he won’t come here after all since I wasn’t here yesterday?”

Qi Le thought for a moment and shook his head. “How that man thinks... I really can’t say. Why don’t you take a risk?”

Gu Bai heard their conversation clearly. Naturally, he refused to let another person stay. He sounded indifferent as he reminded, “It’s better not to take the risk. If he doesn’t find you today, he’ll probably look everywhere again."

Yi Hang’s shoulders suddenly collapsed as he resigned to his fate. “I’ll go to the bar and hide then.”

Qi Le nodded, leaving the decision up to him. Yi Hang knew that Ye Shuichuan worked there, so in case of any unforeseen accidents, he decided to choose a busy time to go so that he could easily hide from the crowd and not be afraid of being found there. Yet, even so, he was still not at ease and asked tentatively, “If I ask your older brother for a favor, would he help?”

Qi Le thought for a moment and decided that they could try so he went with him. Gu Bai was carefree and had nothing to do so he kindly offered, “Let’s go, I’ll send you guys there.”

Soon after arriving, Yi Hang walked towards the bar and asked, "It’s been one whole day, haven’t you thought of anything?"

Qi Le pursed his lips and said earnestly, “Really, I want to give you an idea that will solve your problem once and for all so it will take more time. Just bear with it a little more.”

Yi Hang asked sadly, “How much longer will it take?”

“As soon as I possibly can,” Qi Le reassured him. Then, he suddenly caught sight of Baby Face near the bar and his eyes gleamed. “I’ve got it, you need to be more imposing!”

“...Huh?” Yi Hang didn’t understand him. “What do you mean?”

Qi Le pulled him over to Baby Face and pointed at him, “Look, you have to learn from him. Maybe that man will let you go.” He looked at the Baby Face, “Listen to him. Start from here and then move on from there.”

Baby Face began to patiently educate him, “First of all, be expressionless.”

Yi Hang nodded stupidly. “...... Oh,” he paused. “Can we go elsewhere? I don’t want to stand here. “

Baby Face brought him away and casually asked, “I heard what you said yesterday. You’re doing this so that your man won’t burst your chrysanthemum?”

“Mmm.”

Baby Face said coldly, “You don’t know how lucky you are.”

Yi Hang, “...”

Qi Le glanced at them and was about to look for his older brother. But when he looked out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a familiar face. He was immediately shocked, “Damn it, why is he here?”

Gu Bai also looked over there, his eyes filled with shock, “Yes, why is he here?”

Qi Le didn’t have any time to answer that question. He silently watched Mr. Elite get up and come over. Then, a certain idiot suddenly went mad and turned back, growling at him, “Why is this happening? Explain it clearly to Laozi now!”

“How should I know? Anyways, I didn’t say anything to him. Use your brain,” Qi Le reminded. “If I wanted to tell him, you would’ve been caught a long time ago, thank you very much.”

Yi Hang realized that he was right and looked at a certain elite man with a pale face.

Lu Yanbin remained calm as usual, “Follow me back.”

Yi Hang trembled all over and thought that he could only throw caution to the wind. His face was blank and expressionless, “Fff-fine then... Who’s afraid of you?”

Lu Yanbin arched an eyebrow and pulled him away.

Gu Bai had finally managed to get rid of the eyesore and was back in a good mood. He looked at Xiao Le and asked, “Shall we go back?”

Qi Le nodded and watched Lu Yanbin’s back as he walked away. After struggling for a moment, he decided to face up to reality and ran forward. “Are you friends with my brother-in-law? Is he normal? Oh, what I mean is, he doesn’t have any strange hobbies, does he? “

Lu Yanbin didn’t seem angry with him for not informing him about Yi Hang’s whereabouts in time. He thought for a while and said, “If I have to say something strange about him, it’s that he likes to mix around with nutjobs. If they’re not a little crazy, he can’t stand them.”

“...” Qi Le said, “Don’t you think this is a problem?”

Lu Yanbin was surprised, “What’s the problem?”

Qi Le hinted, “He likes to mix around with nutjobs.”

Lu Yanbin nodded, “Why?”

Qi Le said softly, “He regards you as a friend.”

Lu Yanbin, “......”

“I think I know too much,” mumbled Qi Le, glancing at him. “It’s okay, go and slowly take your time to think about it.”

Lu Yanbin, “......”

Yi Hang saw the two walking away and silently observed the one beside him, asking tentatively, “Haven’t you ever noticed that his brain is a little cuckoo?”

Lu Yanbin looked at him calmly.

Yi Hang immediately looked away and followed him to the car expressionlessly as he struggled to say, “I want to talk to you.”

Lu Yanbin nodded, “Go ahead, I have something to say as well.”

Yi Hang looked surprised, “What is it?”

“I’ve decided to fuck you.”

Yi Hang, “=口=”

Yi Hang turned around and ran, but the car soon caught up to him. Then, Lu Yanbin took out something from his pocket and grabbed him by the wrist. His ear heard only a crisp clink and next thing he knew, he was handcuffed to the car.

Yi Hang, “=口=!!!"

Gu Bai happily brought Xiao Le towards the parking lot. He had just opened the car door when he saw an expensive car passing by them. A string of rapturous cries echoed in the distance, “Don’t ah, ah, ah! Help!!!

Qi Le, “......”

Gu Bai sat at the driver’s seat without any guilt and said, “Get in.”

Qi Le snapped out of his daze, muttered an "Oh" and thought to himself that he couldn’t do anything anyways. So he went back to the apartment to continue revising, completely free from any worries or guilt. Gu Bai sat beside him with a book, enjoying their alone time with satisfaction and pleasure. The Scottish fold cat walked back and forth in front of the sofa. When it finally grew tired, it nestled on the sofa quietly, not disturbing them at all. At the time, the whole living hall was very quiet. He could only hear the sound of pages turning occasionally.

Qi Le turned to look at Gu Bai. His facial features appeared soft and gentle under the warm light, and his eyes were moist and filled with warmth. Looking into them made it impossible for anyone to hate him. It was no wonder he was so popular.

Gu Bai noticed his line of sight and turned his head to ask, “What’s up?”

Qi Le stared at him with some curiosity. “There should be a lot of people pursuing you. Haven’t you ever been moved by any of them?"

Hearing that, Gu Bai was a little shocked and didn’t answer his question immediately. “As far as you can recall, have you ever loved anyone?"

Qi Le subconsciously thought of Xiao Ying, then without a second thought, he dismissed it. He shook his head.

This person had really low EQ, but it was better than him liking women... Gu Bai said impassively, “So you don’t understand this feeling. When you love someone deeply, you won’t accept any other person’s feelings.” He paused, “For example, you liked Ning Xiao before and you didn’t care to be good to anyone else. It’s like this...” He stretched out a hand to hold the back of the sofa and leaned forward.

Qi Le watched Gu Bai get closer and couldn’t help but shrink back. But behind him was the sofa so he couldn’t avoid him anyway. He could only watch as he got closer and closer, looking like he was about to kiss him. He was shocked and pushed Gu Bai’s chest, “...Stop.”

Gu Bai stopped obediently. At the moment, the distance between them was very close. Their breaths were intertwined. He held back the emotions in his heart and asked in a low voice, “Look, you don’t feel anything, do you?"

Qi Le gulped. He felt that this distance was too dangerous for him. He couldn’t help but use a little more force to push him to widen the distance between them. Gu Bai didn’t resist and calmly sat back. “How do you feel?”

Qi Le wavered for a long time before asking, “Have others... done this to you before?”

Gu Bai was a little surprised at his question but he patiently answered. “This circle has more than zeros than ones. It’s not surprising to have a bunch of people throwing themselves into my arms. What do you think?”

Qi Le hesitated again, “How did you feel?”

Gu Bai slightly raised his eyebrows. “You know that I like Xiao Le. How else would I feel?”

“...Really?”

Gu Bai froze for a moment, then grinned, "You’re very interested in this?"

Qi Le blinked and quietly turned away. “I’m just asking.”

Gu Bai stared at him for a while but didn’t force him to continue reading. Looking at the concepts in his textbook, Qi Le nestled on the sofa, feeling a little confused, and couldn’t concentrate at all. He looked at the time and simply went back to his bedroom with his computer and textbook. “I’m going to bed, good night.”

Gu Bai saw that he wanted to flee and the emotions in his eyes deepened. He knew that after all their years of friendship, this guy wouldn’t be completely indifferent to him after all.

Qi Le’s paced back and forth in his bedroom and took a long time to calm down. He wondered what this strange feeling was. He threw himself on the big bed, buried his head under his pillow and recalled how he felt earlier. Suddenly, he realized that he didn’t seem to feel any disgust. Maybe, he could really give it a try? He sat up, staring unblinkingly at the computer, then wiped his face and placed the lap table on his bed. Then, he turned on his laptop, plugged in his headphones and took a deep breath, "righteously" opening those video lessons. He silently watched one but felt that it was disgusting no matter how he looked at it. He thought about it and felt that the man in the video was too ugly to for his eyes, then closed and opened another one, only to reluctantly stop at the fifth video that he had switched. By the time he watched half of it, he suddenly discovered that another man had entered the scene.

He couldn’t help wondering if they were about to change partners. But that seemed impossible. After all, they hadn’t cum yet. He looked curiously and found that their postures didn’t look quite right. Then... he became acutely aware of their intentions and was immediately shocked. It was one thing to hear about two birdies in one hole and another thing entirely to see it with his own eyes. He kept a close eye on the screen and was dumbstruck, “Fucking hell! How can it go in?! Won’t he die?"

He forgot that he was wearing headphones and didn’t bother controlling the volume of his voice. He thought that he was speaking softly but in fact... he was very loud.

Gu Bai lay in Xiao Le’s bed, his mind filled with what happened earlier. As he thought about the person a wall away, he felt even more lonely and couldn’t fall asleep. But right at this moment, he suddenly heard a familiar cry. Shocked, he got up and went over. “What’s the matter?”

Qi Le was scared out of his wits. He was leaning sideways and preparing to take the glass of water on the bedside table, hoping some water would calm him down. As soon as he saw a familiar figure walking into the room, he shivered uncontrollably. The headphones cable was stretched to the limit due to his posture. With the shock he received, it was immediately unplugged. In the next moment, a rapturous moan sounded out clearly.

Qi Le, “=口=”

Gu Bai: “...”

Qi Le thought that this was it. The impression of his thirst and sluttiness must have been deeply imprinted in Gu Bai’s heart. He couldn’t salvage his image anymore. He silently looked up and said, “If I said I’m just watching for fun... would you believe me?”

Gu Bai smiled and said, “It’s okay. We’re both men, I understand.”

Damn it, what did he mean by this? Did he mean being gay? He asked without any hope left in his heart, “If I say that I’m no longer interested in men after losing my memory, would you believe me?”

Gu Bai didn’t even need to think, “I don’t.”

At this time, even if he knew the truth, he couldn’t say that he believed him. If he was often told that he was gay, maybe he would eventually bend.

“...” Qi Le said, “Believe me or don’t, it’s up to you.”

Gu Bai pointed to the computer that was still playing those moans. “How do you explain that?”

“...” Qi Le said, “I’m really just watching for fun.”

“Oh, do you like watching it?” Gu Bai stared at him. “What do you think about it?”

“It’s horrible!”

Gu Bai sat in silence for a moment, trying to explain the video. “Are they Japanese? They like to exaggerate things.”

“No,” Qi Le pushed the computer so it was convenient for him to look and pointed to the screen. “Look at these two. Damn it, isn’t this too horrible?! Won’t he die?”

Gu Bai, “...”
