Even after the sky had changed into an inky black canvas, Gu Hai was still waiting in the reception room. Each time the response for his request came back with a 'he doesn't want to see you', his heart sank a bit more.

At that moment, Gu Hai became aware of how his negligence had deeply hurt Bai Luo Yin.

"How about you wait until after they go to sleep, and I'll help you go ask him again? Maybe he will have some time then."

Gu Hai seemed to have not heard the words coming from behind him as he had already caught sight of Bai Luo Yin's silhouette on the third floor of the mess hall, not too far away. He was sitting down in a corner, eating something that Gu Hai could not make out. He could see Bai Luo Yin's expression as he took big mouthfuls and chewed with difficulty before trying his best to swallow the food. Those things must have not been tasty, yet he had no choice but to eat them since he was hungry.

With almost three hundred meters of distance between them, Gu Hai could clearly feel the distress and pain settling heavily in Bai Luo Yin's heart as if it was his own. He wanted to desperately walk over to Bai Luo Yin's side and have a good look at him-to see whether he had gained or lost weight, sustained injuries or not, and also how his feelings were lately...

With that in mind, his foot subconsciously moved forward. However, his path was blocked by two armed soldiers in mere seconds.

"Mr. Gu, you cannot go in there."

"Please don't make it difficult for us."

Gu Hai's footstep was detained halfway there as his eyes fixated on Bai Luo Yin.

Yin Zi, you don't miss me at all?

Separated by a glass panel, Bai Luo Yin looked on unfeelingly as Gu Hai drove away. A couple of tears were completely held back along with the swallowed bun.

"How's the food here?" Gu Wei Ting asked, completely unaware of what had happened outside.

Bai Luo Yin's spirit slowly returned as he indifferently replied, "It's okay."

Although he said that, Gu Wei Ting noticed that Bai Luo Yin did not eat the two plates of food in front of him.

"How come you're not eating those? They will get cold if you don't."

With difficulty, Bai Luo Yin swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth in one go. Then, under Gu Wei Ting's attentive gaze, he picked up his chopsticks and painstakingly reached for the plates without a hint of hesitation. Unfortunately, try as he might, it was hard to suppress the trembles that overtook his hands. Having gripped the control lever for such a long period of time, both of Bai Luo Yin's arms had yet to return to normal, which in turn, made it impossible to hold anything firmly. For the past few days, if he wasn't eating steamed buns, he would have meat patty-he hardly ordered any other special dishes. Today, the two dishes before him now were especially ordered for Gu Wei Ting.
