In the twinkling of an eye, two weeks have peacefully passed by since they have been in Qingdao. During the second week, the two had ended their days in the hotel and moved into a rented apartment for the time being. The reasons being, one to save money and two, to avoid having to go out too frequently. During the day, they would hide in the room together and review their assignments but once night fell, they would head out and take a stroll on the beach. It was in this simple way that their days together were enriched with contentment.

"It looks like someone is knocking on the door." Bai Luo Yin stretched his head out to look at the doorway.

Giving Bai Luo Yin a glance, Gu Hai immediately stood up to open it.

"Hello, it's the express delivery company. This is your package. Please sign here."

Once he saw the shape and heaviness of the item in question, Gu Hai's face sank; even the color seemed to become slightly ashen. Needless to say, it contained books again. For the last few days, Bai Luo Yin had nothing better to do than to search online for school books. From text books to reference books and even workbooks of various subjects, he purchased nearly 100 already. Every day, when the deliveryman arrived at the usually appointed time, Gu Hai was the one who signed for the package. To make matters worse, nine out of ten times, the books were all bought for Gu Hai himself to read while Bai Luo Yin was only in charge of supervising. Consequently, every time Gu Hai saw the delivery man, he had the urge to kick the bastard out!

"Why did you buy more books huh?" Gu Hai's face darkened even more than before. "Can't you buy something else as well?"

"What else is there to buy huh? It's not like we are lacking anything."

"What do you mean, we aren't lacking anything?" Gu Hai fiddled with the cigarette lighter in his hand, "There are no more condoms, why didn't you think about buying a box of it?"

Bai Luo Yin gritted his teeth, "A box......"

"And sex toys too. I looked online yesterday and there were so many different kinds. There were some really interesting looking ones that we've never used before. Why didn't you pay attention to any of it huh? Those would definitely improve our quality of life. Look at what you're buying......nothing else but books!! Damn it!" Gu Hai bitterly threw the books in his hand to the ground.

Upon seeing this puerile act, Bai Luo Yin narrowed his sharp eyes towards him, "Pick it up."

Feeling wronged, Gu Hai pouted his lips and cast an angry look at Bai Luo Yin for approximately three seconds. Then, as if sensing the sudden change in the atmosphere, he slowly bent down to pick up the books without waiting for Bai Luo Yin to start counting down.

Satisfied, Bai Luo Yin faced Gu Hai and asked, "Did you finish reading the book that I gave you two days ago?"

"Yeah, I finished it."

In just seconds, Bai Luo Yin's seemingly all-knowing eyes scrutinized Gu Hai, but even then, Gu Hai's clear conscience persevered.

"Bring it to me. I'll take a look at it."

Bearing in mind Bai Luo Yin's tenacious demand, Gu Hai readily handed the book over to him. Although somewhat suspicious at first, Bai Luo Yin nonetheless flipped through the book in a rather calm and casual manner. True to his word, Gu Hai had indeed finished writing in it.

Not surprisingly, when Gu Hai was first handed the book, the answer sheet had already been confiscated by Ba Luo Yin early on. With that, it was clear that these questions were all answered by Gu Hai. Furthermore, in order to prevent him from contriving any tricks, Bai Luo Yin intentionally examined each situation listed in the book thoroughly. This was to further see if he had foolishly written anything without thinking it through. As a result of the examination, everything looked good.
