Are You Addicted? Volume 1 Chapter 9

Bai Luo Yin had to write down all 57 names according to their numerical order, and then he had

to hand the name cards back to each student. When Gu Hai received his number and name

card, he didn't stick it onto his desk immediately, but quietly stared at it for a long time.

He felt lost for a moment.

Since he was young, Gu Wei Ting had educated Gu Hai that handwriting reflected a man's

characteristic? it perfectly reflected a man's character and accomplishments. Bai Luo Yin's

handwriting reflected a resounding power and a vigorous aura, but the way he spoke with such an

askew tone from yesterday, it was quite different.

Is it because my behavior towards him was bad?

Gu Hai wanted to test the water.

(T/N: idiom "test the water": to judge people's feelings or opinions before taking further action)

When the dismissal bell rang, Gu Hai was holding the paper with his name and seating number

on it in his hand and walked straight to the desk in front of Bai Luo Yin, You Qi's desk, and sat

down, he quietly observed Bai Luo Yin.

Bai Luo Yin was rushing to finish his homework and did not bother to look up, it also meant that

he totally ignored the burning glare from this Taizi Ye's eyes.

(T/N: Taizi Ye: prince master/the spoilt son of a rich family)

A minute later, Gu Hai finally said something.

"These characters were written by you?"

Bai Luo Yin was concentrating on his homework, these words from Gu Hai had interrupted his

train of thoughts. Holding up the ruler, yet he did not know which auxiliary line to draw? he finally

became irritated and threw the ruler at Gu Hai's head.

"You got nothing better to do? If you don't, then don't bother me."

Gu Hai now had a better view of Bai Luo Yin's face? not bad, its attractiveness is worthy of his

handwriting, it was not an extremely attractive face, but it had unique features. If only looking at

his face alone, it was just so-so? but, if combining his overall features, it had this particular

attractiveness.

Bai Luo Yin did not realize that Gu Hai is watching him, as he was still pondering on a math

problem, when suddenly Gu Hai's finger reached to point at the exercise book, "I know how to

do this question."

Bai Luo Yin grabbed Gu Hai's hand and calmly pushed it off his book.

"Thank you, I can do it."

Bai Luo Yin's grip was really strong, luckily Gu Hai had darker skin or else his whole hand would

have visible red marks.

"Pick up my ruler."

It was a commanding tone, Bai Luo Yin said that to Gu Hai, yet Gu Hai did not move an inch.

"Are you handicapped or what? Didn't I tell you to pick up the ruler? Can you be a bit more

quick?"

Gu Hai's stare froze like an iceberg in the Arctic, the result was that Bai Luo Yin was like

the sun shining through the whole classroom, even if there was an iceberg, it would have

melted completely. It could'nt be helped, a man always wears a generous heart when it

comes to their beloved one, it was because Bai Luo Yin has very beautiful handwriting.

Our Taizi Ye leaned down to pick up the ruler and respectfully handed it to Bai Luo Yin.

The bell rang again, and Gu Hai returned to his seat, holding a wordy essay page that

he torn out from Bai Luo Yin's notebook, it was enough for him to appreciate the handwriting.

At lunch time, You Qi put away his stuff and turned back to look at Bai Luo Yin and said, "Let's

eat lunch together."

(T/N: Unlike US schools where one would get a 30 minute lunch break, in China, they get a 2 hour lunch break, so

it makes it possible to go home to eat and come back)

"I don't stay in a dorm, so I have to go home to eat."

Bai Luo Yin walked towards the door when You Qi caught up to him.

"Today is my treat, let's eat at the cafeteria."

Bai Luo Yin embarrassedly said, "You picked such a good place to treat someone to

lunch ah! The school cafeteria, are you holding a grudge against me?"

(T/N: Because food in cafeteria is really expensive, and it would be impossible for Bai Luo Yin to repay the meal

later on)

But thinking that today it is Bai Han Qi's turn to make dinner, Bai Luo Yin immediately agreed.

On the way, You Qi kept on maintaining his cold facade, he did not like to wear the uniform,

only liked wearing plaid shirts, plus two of the buttons were always unbuttoned, leaving his chest

exposed to everyone's view. Bai Luo Yin also noticed that You Qi always walked with his

headphones on, whoever greeted him would be inaudible to You Qi.

But whenever Bai Luo Yin said something insulting to him, he would immediately fire back. So

Bai Luo Yin had always suspected that You Qi had installed a bug somewhere on his

body.

"I think you're cool."

Bai Luo Yin thought he had misheard it, this person who had been walking next to him was

acting all stoic had a cold front, yet now he was complimenting another person for being cool.

"Arent you the cool one?"

"This is just a facade," You Qi suddenly grinned evilly, "You're giving this unapproachable vibe

from inside out."

"Don't say something that disgusting, would ya?"

You Qi did not say anything to retaliate that, instead he took advantage of the fact that no one was

around, he

secretly took out a tissue to blew his nose.

Bai Luo Yin glanced at him with suspicious eyes, "Do you have rhinitis?"

[T/N: rhinitis: inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose, caused by a virus infection

(e.g., the common cold) or by an allergic reaction (e.g., hay fever).]

You Qi was surprised, "You see me blow my nose?"

"If I don't see it, I must be blind."

You Qi always blew his nose no less than five time each class period, when the class was

dismissed, You Qi would leave his desk to go out? and whenever Bai Luo Yin glanced over his

desk drawer, he would find piles and piles of used tissue being stuffed in the drawer? if someone

else was to see that, they would have thought that You Qi picked them out from the restroom

trash bin.

He stopped thinking about it, the more he thought about it the more it became disgusting, Bai Luo

Yin

forced himself to sway his attention elsewhere, or he would never be able to finish today's lunch.

"....... How you could eat that much?!"

You Qi stared at the pile of plates on the table, it felt like Wu Song was eating here. Two meal

sets, eight meat buns, a bowl of pan fried noodles, three intestine stuffed breads, plus a bowl of cold

noodles, and a plate of dumplings.

Bai Luo Yin ate all of those by himself.

"You think it's a lot? I'm not full yet!"

You Qi broke out in a cold sweat, he had always wanted to lose weight, because his legs

were a bit thick and they would not look good in pants. He had always envied Bai Luo Yin, not fat,

not skinny, the right body type, and now after witnessing how much he could eat, that

envious feeling had now turned into jealousy.

"Do you work out often?"

You Qi began to dig out Bai Luo Yin's lifestyle.

Bai Luo Yin reserved the last piece of food, wiped his mouth and answered, "Asides from

walking to and from school, I don't exercise, just take as much rest as possible."

"That's strange, then where does that food you just ate disappear to?"

Bai Luo Yin pointed at his stomach, "You have to ask it, I don't know."

Once he was done, Bai Luo Yin stood up to leave.

You Qi was still frozen in his moment, he felt grave regret for treating Bai Luo Yin to

this meal? he had used up all meals on his meal card in one use? he would not be able to eat at

the canteen for all day today.

"Senior, can I borrow your meal card? I forgot to bring mine," this person's poor innocent eyes

could kill everyone's heart with one wink.

You Qi picked up the meal card with two fingers, with a pair of evil eyes looking at the

person.

"Here use it, and no need to give it back."
