When they arrived at Bai Luo Yin's dorm, Gu Hai smelled a gust of strange odor permeating the room the moment he entered.

"How long has it been since the room was ventilated?"

Pointing at the window, Bai Luo Yin spoke as if he was telling the truth. "Hmm, I ventilate it every day around the same time."

Gu Hai raised a brow—being used to Bai Luo Yin's unkempt habits, he went to open the window only to have a thick layer of dust fall onto his hands. He sighed. Since they had not seen each other for more than ten days, he didn't have the heart to scold Bai Luo Yin right now. But he couldn't help but to feel sad and commented to himself: My wifeeee! Can't you make this a bit easier for me?! If you're always like this, I won't dare to go travel out for business trips later on.

Bai Luo Yin grabbed a large pile of dirty clothes he found beneath the blanket, pillows, and bed and shoved them into Gu Hai's hands. "Here, I saved them all for you."

Looking down at the clothes, Gu Hai then glanced back up at Bai Luo Yin—it was not hard to see that as his eyes swept over that handsome face, there were both love and hate dwelling in them. Then, without saying anything, Gu Hai turned around and walked into the bathroom.

The washing machine was one of the many new things that Gu Hai had purchased. Before he left, he had made sure to set everything up—the laundry detergent and fabric softener had also been poured in. All that was needed to be done was to put the clothes in, turn on the water faucet, start the machine and wait for a while; then there would be clean clothes. Such a simple process, yet Bai Luo Yin was still too incredibly lazy to do it himself.

However, that was something Gu Hai could understand. In truth, it did not matter how many clothes were left unwashed, since those kinds of things were just a type of entertainment in his perspective. When a person stared at a pile of documents or a computer all day long, that kind of physical labour would become a type of relaxation or enjoyment. Contrariwise, for someone like Bai Luo Yin who only trained every day, he would certainly not let an opportunity to be lazy simply fly by.

Luckily, the two were not in the same type of profession, which made it easier for them to tolerate and empathize with each other.

Gu Hai placed all the clothes in the washing machine and hand-washed all the underwear and socks. But before he washed them, he counted them only to discover that the number was off. He shouted out, "There's a sock missing."

"There shouldn't be. I already gave you everything."

Gu Hai counted them again, but it was still wrong. "Look for it again."

Searching thoroughly in every spot, Bai Luo Yin finally found the missing sock in a small crack between the mattress and headboard. He walked over to where Gu Hai was and threw the sock in the hamper, but when he glanced down, all he saw was a pile of white socks!

"They're all white socks! How did you know that one was missing?"

"Nonsense! Before I left, I bought you twenty pairs of socks and placed them in the cabinet by your bed because I was afraid you wouldn't wash them. That way, you could wear a new pair every day. Do you think I don't know you? As long as there are clean socks to wear, you definitely won't wash any of the dirty ones. I left for twelve days, and there are only twenty-three socks here, doesn't that mean there's one sock missing?"

Bai Luo Yin laughed mischievously.

"You still have the guts to laugh at me?" Gu Hai smeared a handful of bubbles on Bai Luo Yin's face.
