When Gu Hai returned to the room, Bai Luo Yin was still sleeping soundly. His first instinct was to call out to the person lying comfortably on the bed as to interrogate him, but in the end, he held his tongue and swallowed his words.

Even if he's not seriously injured, even if he only did it to scare me, it surely isn't faked that his entire body is in such a sorry state?

Gu Hai lay down next to Bai Luo Yin again. As he turned over, the movement created a loud creaking noise, but Bai Luo Yin remained still in his slumber.

Carefully putting his hand on Bai Luo Yin's chest, Gu Hai wanted to remove the gauze for a look. However, just as he was about to, Bai Luo Yin suddenly wrapped his arms around him, securing him tightly in place. That weather-beaten, yet tender looking face was being displayed in front of Gu Hai and warm breaths kissed along his neck. This kind of unconscious act was like a deterrence that slyly implored him: Just look at the state I'm in... do you still have the heart to blame me?

Gu Hai's mind was being riled up by contradictory emotions.

Bai Luo Yin's lie had nearly given Gu Hai a heart attack, so how could he not be angry? The desire to choke Bai Luo Yin to death had actually crossed his mind, but thinking back; why did he deceive you? Wasn't it just to make you come see him? Before, you were always worried about him keeping all hardship and pain in his heart, and hoped that he would act spoiled towards you... And now that he has completely let himself go and plays around with you—even taking the initiative to demand your love and care, shouldn't you be happy?

Gu Hai looked straight at Bai Luo Yin's face, with eyes that held both love and hate. Even though it pained him, he still took pleasure in this game of deceit, as if he was a complete and utter pervert. The more mischievously Bai Luo Yin acted, the more infatuated Gu Hai became with his antics. In a way, he wished that he could be deceived once a day. Even if it riddled him with deep anxiety, being needed also gave him a sense of happiness.

Gu Hai let out a heavy sigh, not being able to decide whether he felt sorrow—or was deeply moved.

I admit defeat. It seems my life will forever be in the palm of your hand.

Bai Luo Yin slept soundly until nine o'clock the next morning. A nurse had come into the room earlier, saying that she needed to give Bai Luo Yin his medication, but Gu Hai simply told her to put it down and leave.

When Bai Luo Yin finally woke up, he was met by Gu Hai's warm and gentle eyes gazing attentively at him.

Being able to enjoy such a pleasant treat first thing in the morning, Bai Luo Yin cheerfully patted Gu Hai's soft face.

He effortlessly turned his body over, but suddenly seemed to realize something and quickly knitted his brows, revealing a painful expression.

Quick to notice it, Gu Hai accompanied him in the play by anxiously asking, "What's wrong? Did you bump your wounds?"

A decrepit smile appeared on Bai Luo Yin's face. "It's nothing."

Gu Hai deliberately moved closer to Bai Luo Yin's side. "Let me see the wounds on your body!"

Bai Luo Yin was quick to display a cautious expression even though his mouth was spouting seemingly considerate words.

"There's no need to see it. You'll just feel miserable afterwards."
