BaiLouYin coldly hummed, "Never ate such good dumplings."

GuHai's deep eyes focused intently on the side of his face. The healthy, tough lines on his face is as smooth as a painting, the familiar facial features outline is more mature and handsome. The only thing that has not changed is that stubborn mouth. Eight years is like any day. A touch of faded red pushed to the strong remembrance of his youth, adding a layer of time precipitating the awe-inspiring look blending in with the atmosphere.

GuHai really want to take a bite on his face to see what flavor it has changed to from the sweetness of eight years ago.

Cigarettes mingled with GuHai's breath filled the room. The surrounding air suddenly turned hot. BaiLouYin's head subconsciously lowered causing GuHai to touch the empty air.

"I'm leaving." BaiLouYin stood up.

GuHai grabbed his arm and smiled, "Today, I invite you to dinner."

"No need." said BaiLouYin, quietly removing GuHai's warm hand. "It's not like we're doing trades so you don't need to calculate so clearly."

"It's better to calculate clearly between brothers, let alone we're not real brothers."

BaiLouYin stiffened his neck, "Today, I have..."

"You don't want to take a look at my place?" GuHai interrupted BaiLouYin's refusal.

BaiLouYin's face changed a little, half-joking half-seriously look at GuHai and asked, "Did you want me to see your residence or your marriage home?"

"Is there a difference?" GuHai quietly responded.

BaiLouYin's heart dropped, "There's really no difference, let's go."

GuHai's new house is in the West City, over 100 square meters. It is small compared to his other houses, but was enough for one person to live. The largest space was the gym, with only one bedroom. GuHai purposely gave BaiLouYin a tour. Sure enough, it was much neater than BaiLouYin's room. BaiLouYin subconsciously glanced at the bed twice and found that the there are two sets of blankets and pillows.

"When are you getting married?" asked BaiLouYin.

Not hearing a response, BaiLouYin turned and noticed that GuHai is no longer behind him.

He went to the study and saw that GuHai's computer is on. His screensaver is flashing a picture of two people at the seaside. BaiLouYin suddenly look stunned. His heart felt like something is pulling it, unable to explain this feeling. He shook the mouse trying to avoid the photo but in the end, he realized that both of the desktop picture and screensaver is of the two of them (this is the beachside picture taken in Qingdao as they were watching the sunrise).

BaiLouYin sat in front of the computer in a trance, and with unexplained reasons1, he replaced the desktop background and screensaver.

GuHai is currently cooking in the kitchen.

BaiLouYin leaned against the kitchen's door, smoking a cigarette and quietly watch GuHai's busy figure.

He still looked the same as before, with a solemn and sharp appearance and a gentle and delicate heart, sometimes he's fierce with a hint of treachery, and occasionally straightforward and open-minded. He could treat the people he despises ruthlessly, but he could also treat his lover with the most tenderly loving care. Such a man, so majestic, with a successful career, a caring lover......is every woman's dream of a prince charming.
