Addicted: Book One - The Inquietude of Youth

Chapter 116: The Young Master Is Insane

你丫上癮了

Note: Another gloomy day out here in the eastern region of the states, and in all honesty, I am thoroughly enjoying it. The cool breeze is quite lovely this night as I sit here watching forensic files, contemplating on whether or not they will ever upload any new episodes online. Oh the pain of waiting. T.T My best friend who reside in a different state, is busy painting the wall of her brother's pizza parlor. Once the clock reach 10 PM, maybe, god willing, we will be able to FaceTime and enjoy a horror movie together.

As always, please do remember, I am but an amateur translator/editor. Ignore any grammars and/or any errors. I hope everyone will enjoy reading this chapter and patiently wait for the next one. ✺◟(∗❛ัᴗ❛ั∗)◞✺

Chapter 116: The Young Master Is Insane

"Hello?"

Silence took over for quite some time before the person asked, "Bai Luo Yin?"

An elegant feminine voice, with proper Chinese pronunciation, eloquent enunciation and an extremely graceful tone, spoke. One can imagine what a beauty the person was if based solely on the sound of her voice. Gu Hai's little heart would have palpitated if this voice was looking for him, but it was seeking out Bai Luo Yin. That, in itself, is another story.

"Who are you?" asked Gu Hai.

"Sorry, I'm looking for Bai Luo Yin. Can I trouble you to give the phone to him, please?" said the person very courteously.

Gu Hai countered with, "If you don't say who you are I won't give the phone to him."

There was a silent pause, as if in contemplation: "I'm his girlfriend."

Gu Hai coldly laughed. He was peculiarly aggressive as he placed the cellphone's receiver in front of his face and said: "You're his girlfriend, then, I'm his boyfriend!"

He immediately hung up after he finished.

Stupid, senseless, delusional...initially, this was what Gu Hai had thought, but afterwards, he felt wronged instead. The person had addressed Bai Luo Yin by his whole name*, which meant that, the person did not mistakenly dial the wrong number. She was personally calling for Bai Luo Yin.

[*直呼其名: in China, to address sb by name without using honorific, indicate familiarity or over familiarity]

He has to ask about this.

Bai Luo Yin was rummaging through the drawer when he suddenly turned over a watch. Although, it had been in the drawer and covered up by other things for a long while, the surface of the watch still appeared new and shiny. The character, "Hui" was written on the bottom shell. Needless to say, Shi Hui also has one, with the character, "Yin" on it. It was a custom made lover's watch. Don't even mention the price.

Bai Luo Yin was completely unaware of Gu Hai standing behind him.

Suddenly, the watch was snatched out of his hands.

Gu Hai's thumb ran along the surface of the watch, he smiled, "Not bad, it's also an expensive brand huh?"

Bai Luo Yin didn't say anything, he seemed rather reluctant to speak about this topic.

Gu Hai turned the watch over and glanced at the logo embedded on the bottom shell. His once warm pair of orbs, was as of now, reduced by several degrees.

"What's this? You bastard, I look away for a second and you're secretly hiding in your room, reminiscing about your past lover?" Gu Hai's knee whacked Bai Luo Yin's buttocks.
