As they walked through the door into BaiLuoYin's dorm, GuHai smell something strange.

"How many days have there been no ventilation in here?"

BaiLuoYin pointed at the windows and lied, "I opened up that window for fresh air the same time every day."

Doubtful, GuHai went to open the window and sure enough, his hand ended up covered in dust. Since he hadn't seen BaiLuoYin for more than ten days, he was reluctant to scold him. He just felt a bit sad. My wife! Can you make this easier for me! If you continue to be lazy like this, I won't even dare to leave for my business trips.

BaiLuoYin stuffed a pile of dirty clothes he found from under the blanket, in the closet, beneath the pillows, and under the bed, into GuHai's arms. "Here, I promise to save this for you."

GuHai looked at BaiLuoYin with both love and hate. He didn't say a word and proceeded to turn and walk into the bathroom.

He had recently bought BaiLuoYin a new washing machine. Before he left, he had set everything up. The laundry detergent and fabric softener have also been poured in. The only thing that BaiLuoYin needed to do is put in the clothes, turn on the water and he will have clean clothes. The process is so easy, yet BaiLuoYin is still too lazy to do it himself.

But from GuHai's perspective, this is understandable. Leaving the pile of dirty laundry unwashed is not that big of a deal. He actually finds this quite amusing. When a person is in front of documents or the computer all day, this kind of manual labor becomes more of a kind of relaxation and enjoyment. On the contrary, for someone like BaiLuoYin who has continuous grueling training day in and day out, he will not miss any opportunity to be lazy.

Fortunately, they are not in the same type of career so they could be tolerant and empathetic toward each other.

GuHai put all the dirty clothes in the washing machine, except for BaiLuoYin's underwear and socks, which he hand washed. Before he washed them, he counted them and realized that something is missing. He shouted out, "missing one sock!"

"No, I already gave you everything."

GuHai counted again, and it's still not right, "Try and go to look for it."

BaiLuoYin start rummaging through everywhere to find it. He finally found the lost sock in the gap between the mattress and the bedside. He walked over and threw it into the laundry basin. When he lowered his eyes to look, there was a big pot of white socks!

"It's all white, how did you know that one is missing?"

"Of course I know! Before I left, I bought you twenty pairs of socks and put it inside the bedside drawer. Because I was afraid that you won't wash it, this way you can just change into a new pair every day. You think I still don't know you? As long as there are clean socks to wear, you definitely won't wash them. I left for 12 days and there are only 23 socks in here, so isn't there one missing?"

BaiLuoYin "heehawed" and smiled twice.

"You can still smile?" GuHai wiped a bunch of bubbles onto BaiLuoYin's face.

BaiLuoYin wiped his face and then he looked down at GuHai. He especially loved to see GuHai doing manual labor. Every time he saw GuHai doing chores, he has this sense of misplacement. He always felt that GuHai is not actually doing manual labor, but rather he is showing his specialty. Because anyone, when they first see GuHai, will think that this is a man shrouded in a ring of brilliance, that he is surrounded by beautiful women, and that his life must be colorful and luxurious; a person that is doted on by many people.

So, observing such a man cooking and washing clothes, it is really like enjoying a performance, a performance that is detached from reality. Because only BaiLuoYin can see this performance, no matter how detach this is from reality, it is only a part of his dream. Other people don't even have the right to fantasize.
