Chapter 51

Get-together

Bai Fan insisted on taking his mother to the hospital for an examination, not paying attention to Gongyi Bo’s unusual gaze. He nodded to Gongyi Bo gratefully, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to the man, “Thank you very much for today. I will take my mother to the hospital for an examination first. This is my business card. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to contact me.”

Gongyi Bo was still immersed in his thoughts, so he was a little slow to react until Bai Fan went away. He held the business card and laughed. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to contact me. Not many people would say that to him. This feeling…is fresh and amazing.

Gongyi Bo looked down at the business card in his hand, but found that the business card was very plain, only having a name and contact number on it, no email address, job title or company name… This kind of business card was really rare. It’s either there was nothing to know about the person or the person was already well known enough in a certain industry, and didn’t have to bother to introduce themselves.

Judging from the person’s age and style of conversation, it is unlikely that he has no background, plus the texture of this business card is special, it’s not something ordinary people would use. Looking at the name ‘Bai Fan’ on the business card, Gongyi Bo couldn’t figure anything out. After thinking about it, Gongyi Bo put this business card in his suit, and continued today’s investigation with several managers and supervisors beside him.

……

Bai Fan’s mother’s examination results showed there was nothing serious, except for a few scratches on the neck. She just needs to put ointment and medicine on the wound for a few days for it to heal. The problem is that Bai Fan’s mother has been traumatized ever since, she doesn’t wear jewelry anymore, and went out less.

Bai Fan’s father also reprimanded his wife when he heard about that incident. He was worried in his heart, but what came out of his mouth was, “I told you not to wear those things since a long time ago, and you still hang them around your body every day. Look, something’s happened now. You don’t even know how to hide your wealth…”

Listening to his parent’s conversation, Bai Fan secretly felt happy, and quietly went back to his room, leaving those two alone. 

Thinking of his parents who have supported each other all their lives, Bai Fan couldn’t help but think that it would be nice to have such a companion. At least when he gets old and ugly, there will still be someone who will stay by his side and take care of him. 

But when he thought of someone who would support him, Yin Rui’s face appeared in his mind. He quickly shook off the sudden thought. Although he and Yin Rui had supported each other for ten years, he still shouldn’t base his ideal wife as Yin Rui. Although Yin Rui is indeed beautiful, Bai Fan couldn’t imagine him as a woman… With a trace of guilt, the straight man Bai Fan climbed into bed and went to sleep.

But after waking up in the antique room, facing Yin Rui’s face in the bronze mirror, Bai Fan wrote down:

[Yin Rui, do you have any cousins that look similar to you?]

Yin Rui didn’t understand the point of this question at first. After a moment he understood, and his face turned livid. He even used self honorifics instead of saying ‘I’ as he usually would. 

[This Sect Master’s mother passed away long ago and is very sure that he has no relatives, or anyone within 8 generations. This sect master also decided to never have any daughters in the future, sorry if this disappoints you.]

Seeing Yin Rui’s reply, Bai Fan was a little embarrassed. Didn’t he just ask about Yin Rui’s family? Why is Yin Rui’s reply so extreme? His nonexistent daughter even got involved. Bai Fan swore to God, even if Yin Rui’s future daughter is as beautiful as a fairy carved out of the same mold as Yin Rui, he would never harbor any malicious thoughts.

Because of this misunderstanding, for the next few days Bai Fan talked softly to Yin Rui, and then gradually coaxed Yin Rui to calm down. But in reality, Yin Rui was only angry for the first two days, but afterwards, he was mostly pretending. All this was just so he could keep Bai Fan’s attention on him longer. The only form of communication between him and Bai Fan was one letter a day. This connection was far too fragile, far less attractive than the things that can be touched and seen around him, so he learned early on how to attract Bai Fan’s attention and he enjoyed it. 

Every year, Marriage Day is a restless moment for all men and women. It is said that people who get married on this day will be blessed for eternity, and people will also choose this day to express their feelings to their loved ones. 

This kind of romantic belief not only affected the majority of boys and girls, but also the leader of the Black Moon Sect. Even though he was known for being mature, he was feeling anxious too.

Yin Rui dismissed everyone from his room, and had been sitting in front of the table with a pen for half an hour. This Marriage Day was his first after becoming an adult, and the first marriage day for all adults was special and important. Yin Rui wanted to do something significant. It may be risky, and it may not be known by anyone else forever, but it was an opportunity, an opportunity to let Bai Fan know his thoughts. Yin Rui’s expression was firm, he picked up his brush and carefully chose words to write down his desires on paper, thoughts that were never expressed to Bai Fan…

After he finished writing, Yin Rui read it carefully. Confirming that it was correct, he dried the paper full of his feelings, made it into a small paper roll, stuffed it into a small bamboo tube that was half the length of a finger, and sealed it with wax.

Yin Rui put the small bamboo tube into a delicate pouch, sealed it, and put it together with the white clothes for Bai Fan. He felt dazed looking at the pouch, wondering when Bai Fan would discover the secret in the pouch.

[Fan, I like this new pouch very much. You have to carry it with you every day, and you are not allowed to change it.]

[Okay, understood.]

……

After a few days of investigation, Gongyi Bo returned to S City. Exhausted, he just wanted to take a good shower and sleep. While taking off his clothes, a small card fell out of his pocket. He saw the letters “Bai Fan”, and leaned over to pick it up, then put it into his card case that contained several other business cards.

Bai Fan still stayed in Z City, because he was surprised by his mother’s robbery incident, so he stayed with her more often. Since she went out less recently, she had to find things to do at home. She bought fabric on a whim to make a suit for Bai Fan by herself, after measuring countless times, the suit ended up being a little bit small. Bai Fan’s mother was about to fix it again, but Bai Fan hurriedly took the clothes away full of praise. He’s been too occupied with testing, trying, and changing clothes over and over so much that he feels like he was about to die.

Seeing his mother turn her attention to his father, Bai Fan hid in his room immediately. Looking at the clothes in his hands, Bai Fan checked them out in front of the mirror. It was a little tight on him, but it seemed just right for Yin Rui to wear. No matter how much Yin Rui ate, he just wouldn’t gain weight.

Bai Fan was regretful he couldn’t take anything there, otherwise he would be able to turn his ideas into reality. Bai Fan was sighing when his cell phone rang suddenly. After seeing the caller ID, Bai Fan hesitated for a while before picking it up…

“Hello?”

“It’s me. I heard that you have returned to Z City. It’s time to fulfill your promise. How about it? When will we go out?” Luo Shuai’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Of course, I’m free at any time, you decide the time and place. Hehe, I’m only responsible for eating, I won’t bring any money ok?” Bai Fan joked.

“I won’t let you starve, even if I starve myself, I won’t let you starve.”

After saying this somewhat ambiguous and flirtatious sentence, the two fell silent, and then joked with each other as if nothing had happened, and set the time and place for the dinner.

Luo Shuai originally wanted to meet this evening, but Bai Fan saw that it was already late, and if he couldn’t come back on time at 8:00 pm after dinner, things would get a little bit messy. So they settled for tomorrow noon, in a restaurant with a very good reputation.

At noon the next day, Bai Fan came to the restaurant on time, and saw Luo Shuai had already arrived and was sitting at the table.

Bai Fan stepped forward, “How long have you been waiting?”

“Not long, I just arrived.” Luo Shuai said without changing his expression.

The waiter was pouring tea for Bai Fan, his eyes twitched imperceptibly. You came in the morning. How many times have I refilled your tea after sitting here for two hours?

Luo Shuai handed the menu to Bai Fan, “You order, the dishes here are all delicious.”

“Yeah.” Bai Fan took the menu, and he still remembered Luo Shuai’s taste, so he ordered some dishes that both of them liked. When he put down the menu, he was taken aback by Luo Shuai’s gaze.

“So you still remember.”

Bai Fan smiled and didn’t say anything, because he suddenly thought of a very serious problem, Luo Shuai wouldn’t still be thinking about him after 10 years right? He wanted to be friends with Luo Shuai again, and definitely not boyfriends.

For the next meal, the two ate in silence, and the atmosphere turned even more eerie. It wasn’t until a plate of prawns was brought to the table that the condensed atmosphere changed a bit. When Luo Shuai saw the prawns, he automatically brought them to him, quickly opened them, dipped them in vinegar, and sent them to Bai Fan’s bowl. For a moment, it was like going back to ten years ago.

At that time, every time they ate shrimp, Luo Shuai would peel them, and Bai Fan would sit on the sidelines with an uncle-like face waiting to eat the peeled shrimp, this made the other two people in the dormitory itch with hatred. Every time they expressed their jealousy, Bai Fan would reply, “You can find someone to peel shrimp for you if you have the ability to, right?” 

Later, the two roommates were so aggravated by Bai Fan and Luo Shuai that they even started peeling shrimps and feeding it to each other. However, they could not last long and from then on they would ignore whatever Bai Fan and Luo Shuai did together.

Luo Shuai put a piece of shrimp into Bai Fan’s bowl, and Bai Fan ate it. The two of them gradually recovered a certain understanding, and a knowing smile appeared on Bai Fan’s face… After all, we were such good friends…

At the entrance of the restaurant, following the waiter’s welcome, two more guests were ushered in. One of them had a fat belly that his clothes couldn’t hold in, and the other looked stylish and trendy, he had red highlights on his hair and a slender body, he was handsome.

The young man followed the fat man and took a seat in a corner. Everything was normal at first, but gradually the fat man’s hands moved impolitely under the table, but the young man didn’t respond. Rather, he continued to pour tea for the fat man with a professional smile.

Just when the fat man was caressing the young man’s thigh, he realized the young man was absent-minded. He followed the young man’s line of sight in dissatisfaction, and saw Luo Shuai and Bai Fan.

The moment he saw Luo Shuai, his eyes immediately turned cold, then said indifferently, “Hey, I was wondering why were you looking so engrossed, so you saw your old lover huh? Let’s go, I’ll take you to say hello.”

The young man’s complexion changed, and he hurriedly said, “Mr. He, don’t.”

“You don’t want to? But I want to. Are you not jealous that your ex found a new lover so quickly?” Mr. He smiled maliciously, then pulled the young man up from his seat, and walked in Luo Shuai’s direction. 

The young man was a popular money boy of a certain high-end club, Luo Shuai had hired him for a while, so this young man was still obsessed with him. Also Mr. He would not be picking a random fight just for a money boy, he was only doing this since Luo Shuai’s company recently robbed him of a big project, so he really couldn’t stand the sight of him.

Bai Fan was the first to notice strangers approaching, Luo Shuai noticed and raised his head then saw the two people approaching. When he saw the combination, his expression soured, he put down the half-peeled shrimp in his hand, wiped his hands with a wet towel, and looked at the two approaching people with a frown.

Normally, Luo Shuai wouldn’t even pay attention to these two people, but today, Bai Fan was by his side. It is rather well known that Mr. He has a stinky mouth.
