This World Has Gone Crazy-Chapter 21 part1

Gu Bai lay on his back with his head slightly turned sideways. His facial features appeared smooth and soft under the warm light – very handsome. At the moment, his eyes were shut but it was hard to say if he was asleep or not.

Qi Le looked at him and then at the key beside his pillow. He hesitated for a moment and called out tentatively once more, “Gu Bai?”

Gu Bai's eyelids moved, but he didn't open his eyes. He answered hazily, “Hmm?”

“It's nothing, sleep.” Qi Le saw that he still retained some consciousness, so he temporarily resisted the urge to steal the key. He helped him take off his shoes and socks, and then stripped him of his T-shirt. He sighed inside. This man had always exercised perfect self control and had never been so drunk before. He couldn’t help nagging, “What are you doing torturing yourself like this? We should always look to the future. Don’t ruin your body at such a young age. Don't you know how important health is… Damn it! Even making Laozi suffer with you…."

Gu Bai listened to the extremely muted mumble of that last sentence and resisted raising the corners of his lips. He kept his eyes closed, enjoying the service and pretended to be confused when he extended his arms to let Qi Le take off his clothes. Then, he realized that the man was unbuckling his belt, and his breathing stopped at once. His emotions went wild but he quickly suppressed his excitement, afraid of giving himself away. But even so, he felt the stirrings of desire. Then, he heard the ringing from one of the cellphones. He recognized it wasn't coming from his and continued to lie down quietly.

Looking at the word "Xiao" on the screen, Qi Le thought to himself that he had to change his name. He pressed the answer button. “Hello?”

“Where are you?”

“Outside,” Qi Le looked at Gu Bai. Seeing that he was still unconscious, he stretched out a hand to casually unbutton his pants and asked, “What’s the matter? Forgot your key?”

“No,” answered Ning Xiao. “I saw your luggage in your bedroom. What are you planning to do?”

Qi Le silently digested his question for a moment, then said, “Who said you could enter my bedroom?”

“I don't have such a weird habit.” Ning Xiao’s voice turned cold. “You left your door open."

Qi Le remembered that he had left too quickly and seemed to have left his door open. He unzipped Gu Bai's pants and replied, “Fine.”

“Where are you planning to go after you're done packing?”

“I'm moving out. I don't plan on staying there anymore.” Qi Le got up, went to pull down Gu Bai's pants and took off his trousers.

Gu Bai frowned slightly, pretending that he was disturbed in his sleep, and moved a little to allow the man to remove his pants without any obstruction. He listened to what Qi Le said the entire time. He guessed that the person on the other end of the line was Ning Xiao. The man’s attitude of late was really off. He listened intently, so much so that the throbbing in his body had slowly subsided. He only heard the person beside him say, “I'm going to live with my gē. What do you mean if I've gone crazy? So what if Laozi wants to move out? Ai… Don’t mention what happened at the hospital last time. Just because I said we're friends doesn’t mean I want to live with you. Laozi also asked you to take care of my little brother. As a result, you still dumped him. Stop meddling. Even if can’t remember his name, he's still my little brother… Huh? I’ll be going back today. Where should I sleep if I don’t go home? Hello? Ai… What's his problem?”

Qi Le put away his cellphone, put Gu Bai's pants aside and covered him with the quilt, cautiously calling out, “Gu Bai? Are you asleep? I suddenly remembered something about Qi Le. Do you want to hear about it? If you don't say anything, I won't tell you… Hehe, he's asleep.”

Gu Bai knew that he was going to steal the key again. He tried his best not to smile and muttered, “…Water.”

Qi Le, “……”

Fuck! Why is he still conscious! Qi Le was silent for a moment and nodded, “Wait, I’ll pour you some.” He went to pour Gu Bai a glass, came back, held a certain someone up and fed him some water, thinking to himself, when had he ever served anyone before this!

Gu Bai sipped twice and was in a very good mood. He looked at him, appearing a little confused. “Thank you.”

Qi Le laughed dryly. “You’re welcome. Go to sleep.”

Gu Bai grunted an "Mmm," conveniently grabbed his pillow, turn over and close his eyes to sleep. The pillow so happened to cover the key. Qi Le’s expression cracked at once. Damn it! Why is my situation so miserable?! He went around to the other side of the bed, staring at the key that was partly exposed. He felt like crying. Gu Bai frowned slightly, opened his eyes a little and asked even though he knew the answer, “Why are you still here?”

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I won't go even if you beat me to death ah… Qi Le smiled and nodded, “I’m leaving now.”

“Mmm… Turn off the light for me.”

Qi Le switched off the light and sat on the sofa with his son, touch his furry head. “Xiao Quan, how long do you think it'll take him to fall asleep?”

“Meow~” The Sottish fold cat rubbed against him in a spoiled manner.

Qi Le continued to hug it, glancing at his own bedroom from the corner of his eye. He kept quiet, hesitating for a moment before opening the door and looking at the familiar room. He felt rather sad and ended up sitting on his old bed for half an hour. When he felt that it was about time, he brought his son to his little bed and returned to a certain someone’s room. He stood by the bed, arms reaching under Gu Bai's pillow. He was ready just about to touch the key when someone grabbed his wrist again.

Qi Le, “=口=”

This didn't make sense! He was shocked silly and he didn’t know what to do anymore. He thought that it was over for him but suddenly, he heard the man mumble, “Xiao Le…”
