As they were driving the cars toward their random destination, Bai Luo Yin suddenly made a phone call to Gu Hai and asked, "If we keep heading west, we won't be able to see the sea anymore, right?"

"Not necessarily. If we keep on driving, we'll eventually reach Western Europe. You can also see the sea there."

Bai Luo Yin remained silent for a long time before faintly saying, "What if I say I want to go to a town that has a sea?"

As he continued driving, Gu Hai turned his head slightly at the rear view mirror to glance over at Bai Luo Yin who was driving the other vehicle, yet he did not respond. A short while later, his foot abruptly pressed against the brake pedal, halting the car in the middle of the road as if to make an emergency stop. This in turn nearly caused Bai Luo Yin to hit his car from behind.

Suddenly, Gu Hai got out of the car and angrily made his way toward the front of Bai Luo Yin's car.

"Get out!" He shouted as he knocked on the car window.

Bai Luo Yin opened the car door, but just as he was about to get out, his head was enveloped by a powerful pressure. Both of Gu Hai's hands reached out and took hold of Bai Luo Yin's face. His sharp and fierce gaze shot invisible arrows straight at Bai Luo Yin's countenance.

"Why didn't you say that a moment ago?"

A seemingly annoyed atmosphere framed Bai Luo Yin's expression the entire time. "I wasn't really thinking much about it then."

"Wasn't thinking about it? You think it'll just disappear if you didn't think about it?" Gu Hai said as if to lecture him one word at a time, "You say this now after we've driven west for over 300 kilometers already? Do you know how much gas we've burned out during these 300 kilometers? Do you know how many breakfasts we could've eaten with all that gas? Really now......you know don't know how expensive daily necessities are when you've never been in charge of a family. Seeing how wasteful you are, we won't even have enough for ten days. By then, we would have no choice but to go back!"

Bai Luo Yin did not utter a word. The corner of his eyes simply narrowed into a 45 degree angle as he stared down attentively at the zipper on Gu Hai's pants.

"I'm talking to you! Are you listening?" Gu Hai grabbed Bai Luo Yin's head and lifted it up again using a deceitful expression to threaten him.

Bai Luo Yin tried to suppress his laughter to the point that his internal organs began to hurt.

Gu Hai stuck his sturdy chest out, adopting a stern posture as he berated the other boy, "Stop being all happy and cute with me. Act proper!"

The sound of Bai Luo Yin's continuous laughter immediately transmitted throughout the open space. This joyous vocalization was so bright that even Gu Hai was pulled into a spell of smiles and laughter himself. In an attempt to try and control his own laughter, Gu Hai's hand reached out with the intention of wanting to strike Bai Luo Yin, but Bai Luo Yin—being one step ahead of him—quickly ran away. Not surprisingly, Gu Hai's hand grasped the air before he looked up, then he ran after Bai Lou Yin, closely behind him.

When Bai Luo Yin quickened his pace and ran around the car, Gu Hai also sped up and went a full round after him. After a few more rounds, Gu Hai finally realized that even if he keeps on chasing like this, he would never be able to catch Bai Luo Yin sooner. Quickly taking note of Bai Luo Yin's pace and his position on the other side, Gu Hai approximated the timing. Then he leapt onto the roof of the car, flipped over and from there took hold of Bai Luo Yin, locking him tight into a hug.
