"Cheers!"

As the cold winds howled outside, the two people nested inside BaiLuoYin's dorm drinking wine1. With the doors and windows locked, the curtains pulled tightly closed, and a hot pot braving the heat, the whole room is filled with smoke, full of warmth.

1 Note: this is probably not the typical red or white wine but a stronger content alcohol such as rice wine, beer, or other.

BaiLuoYin's face turned bright red from the heat. GuHai looked at him eating with a voracious appetite.

"Eat slowly." GuHai says picking up a piece of meat and putting it into BaiLuoYin's bowl. Then he softly asked, "you didn't eat enough the last few days?"

"More than just not eat enough?" BaiLuoYin spitted out bitterly, "I didn't eat at all!"

GuHai raised his eyebrows while feigning anger as he looked at BaiLuoYin.

"It's not like there is no kitchen in here. Just like what we are doing today, simply go out to buy some ingredients like sesame sauce and some lamb is not too much trouble, right? You're an adult now, how can you let yourself starve?"

"Not going to do it," BaiLuoYin eating big mouthfuls, not even lifting his head.

GuHai is slightly helpless, "This doesn't take much skills! You just put the ingredients into the hotpot and pour some water. After the water is boiling, you just put in the meat. It's so easy to do. You don't even want to do that?"

BaiLuoYin is deliberately trying to contradict GuHai, so as to say he won't do it.

"Then what will you do?" GuHai reached his hand out to pull BaiLuoYin's head toward him, his nuzzling breath blowing into the side of BaiLuoYin's ears, "You will just get angry at me right?"

BaiLuoYin turned his head, "Yes!"

A little drunk, GuHai could see that BaiLuoYin's eyes looked somewhat silly. BaiLuoYin's side profile is right in front of him, a perfect silhouette, heroic facial features, even his swallowing actions seems so charming.

Feeling that his cheeks are having a burst of wetness2, the chopsticks that BaiLuoYin were holding stopped a bit. Then he knocked on GuHai's bowl and kindly reminded him, "Hey! I said, the meat is in the hot pot, where did you run to eat?"

2Note: it is assumed that GuHai just gave him kisses on his cheeks.

GuHai's hands gripped onto BaiLuoYin's collar as he mischievously smiled and say, "don't want to eat meat, want to suck milk."

BaiLuoYin shuddered and fiercely kicked GuHai away from him. He angrily responded, "If you speak any more roguish, I'm going to shove your head into the pot believe it or not?"

GuHai smiled while clamping some food, eating and talking, "YinZi, watching you eat is also a pleasure."

BaiLuoYin's heart is moved. Don't he also feel the same way? When he didn't have GuHai before, it did not matter what he ate. Food was nothing more than something to fill his stomach. But now with this person, deficiencies came one by one. First is deciding on what to eat, then where to eat, and who to eat with, as if eating is a big affair. In fact, the reason he didn't eat for the past few days is not because he is picky, but because there is one less person so he suddenly had no appetite.

Surely, people cannot live a good life. Once you have gone through too much suffering, it just becomes numbing. But once you have experienced the good life, you can no longer suffer even the slightest bit.

GuHai deliberately reminded him, "The tofu is ready to eat."

BaiLuoYin used his chopsticks to clamp two pieces of tofu and put it inside his bowl. Then he dipped a piece into the sauce, stuffed into his mouth and started to chew and swallow.
