Xiao Bai’s Method in Chasing his Husband

Translate: Sae | Edit: Nancy

The scene that played out afterward was as expected, the Major and the President fought in the house without an ounce of care to their image. In the end, it was the Major that won. For the President, this was complete and utter humiliation. Yes, he lost. This was the very first time he lost in physical strength to his wife. His entire body was being pressed down on the sofa, making it impossible for him to budge.

At first, there was a chance for him to mount a sneak attack since at that time his hand had already taken hold of Bai-shouzhang’s crotch—if only he had used enough strength, Bai-shouzhang would have naturally collapsed. Unfortunately, when this Gu-zong stretched his hand over, he had yet to utilize his strength, his bones went limp.

Welling with a sense of fearlessness and joie de vivre, Bai Luoyin rode on Gu Hai’s body while tightly holding the belt[1] that he had pulled off. He snorted a couple of times, “What now? Gu-zong, are you going to admit defeat or not?”

Gu Hai merely narrowed his eyes as a wicked smile surfaced, “If you move up some more, I will immediately admit defeat.”

Bai Luoyin lowered his head for a look only to see that their crotches were nestling against each other. If he moved up more…

…then, wouldn’t his and my rub…

In just seconds, countless sharp and cold daggers emitted from Bai Luoyin’s dark eyes. Once it connected with the warmth and gentleness that flowed from Gu Hai’s eyes, the cold and hot gazes collided with such force and intensity that they immediately intertwined and then dissolved into a thin mist that permeated the room.  

Keeping their eyes locked, Bai Luoyin slowly lowered the upper half of his body close to Gu Hai, all the while, a powerful flame of enticement and utter seduction rose between them.

Within moments, Gu Hai’s heart melted.

His big hand reached up and gently took hold of the back of Bai Luoyin’s head before he roughly pressed his it down, stopping when there were only a few centimeters of space left between their lips. Then a hot breath of air fluttered coyly on Bai Luoyin’s face.

“I’ve wanted to fuck you for eight long years.”

Bai Luoyin faintly replied, “Me too.”

A tremendous rush of electricity flowed between their tightly knitted bodies before converging and traveling all the way down below their bellies. When Gu Hai saw the untamed and brutal intensity crowded Bai Luoyin’s eyes, his breath became laden with intoxication and heaviness. The hand he had slyly placed on Bai Luoyin’s back slowly shifted downward as if waiting for the right moment to catch him off guard as to mount an attack on him by flipping him over so that he would lie shyly beneath him instead.

Unfortunately, Bai Luoyin utilized his trained abilities to agilely flipped his body over and off of Gu Hai’s body. He got up, clapped his hands a couple of times and peered back to give Gu Hai a cold yet charming smile.   

With just that one enticing and challenging look, Gu Hai felt as though his heart was being trodden on by countless of ants.

There was never a time like this, where the desire to conquer ascended in the depth of Gu Hai’s heart. He realized, compared to eight years ago, Bai Luoyin was even harder to resist now. If he were to devour this poisonous seed, then he will be destined to eternally doomed yet again.

“I’m hungry,” Bai Luoyin said, quickly sealing away his playful heart.

Swiftly calming down his breath, Gu Hai answered with a sunken voice, “Behave yourself. Just sit here and wait for me.”

The hidden meaning is, don’t even think about playing any devious tricks.[2] You are well aware that bit of laozi’s⁷² patience is limited.

Once he was left alone, Bai Luoyin circled around the room twice, but soon he was struck with boredom and walked toward the kitchen doorway. Just as he was about to enter, he was abruptly frightened by the scene inside. Gu Hai was in the middle of chopping a piece of meat in a rather bizarre manner with the knife splaying in all directions. His eyes were narrowed then widened, exposing bold and crafty appearance. This scene conjured a shiver that clutched securely on Bai Luoyin’s heart.

He’s not going to treat me like that piece of meat, right?

The atmosphere during their dinner was relatively peaceful.

Once Bai Luoyin saw the table covered with an array of food, his mood was considerably good as he said with interest, “These are all the food I love to eat…did you know that I was going to come here and intentionally prepared all of these ahead of time?”

Gu Hai snorted coldly, “Who said I prepared these for you? Even if you’re not here, I would still eat like this. And now that you’re here, I don’t have any desire to feed you at all.” With that said, he moved a few good dishes toward his side of the table.

Contrary to expectation, Bai Luoyin did not attempt to snatch any of the food. Instead, he just obediently ate the few plates of vegetables in front of him.

In the end, Gu Hai’s heart could not endure it any longer when he thought about the hardship that Bai Luoyin had suffered in the military, and how even then he had not been able to have decent meals.

It was difficult enough to get him to come here…I wanted to change up his meal but instead, I ended up saying something unpleasant and now he still can’t have a good meal.

“Alright, seeing how pitiful you are, I’ll reward you so that later you can’t tell others that, I, Gu-zong, mistreated you.” After saying that, he placed several meat dishes in front of Bai Luoyin.

However, Bai Luoyin only reached for the plates of vegetable that was now further away.

Seeing that, Gu Hai’s face darkened, and he hit the back of Bai Luoyin’s hand twice.

“Are you fucking looking for trouble on purpose, huh?!”

Bai Luoyin remained calm and gave Gu Hai’s a glance. Soon a smirk broke through his silence as he reached out to get the food that he liked to eat.

A hint of restlessness waltzed into Gu Hai’s heart as he looked on inquisitively. He cleared his throat and employed a serious tone of voice, “Bai Luoyin, you’ve changed into a badass now.”

Remaining expressionless, Bai Luoyin snorted instead as he secretly thought to himself.

How did I change? If it wasn’t to uncover your shamelessness, would I have used this kind of trick to catch you? I want to see how long you can keep on pretending!!

“I really pity your other half,” Gu Hai said with a sigh.

“Pity him?Why does he deserve your pity?”[3]

“Just look at how you are now…so foolish and irresponsible, not dependable like you were before!  Whoever becomes your lover won’t be able to have peace of mind at all!!”

The unspoken implication behind those words was, ‘you can seduce me, but don’t go flirting anywhere else!’[4]

Bai Luoyin heedlessly replied, “If he can’t tie me down, that’s his fault for being useless!!”

At that moment, a beautiful thought sprung in Gu Hai’s mind. He truly wanted to fuck Bai Luoyin until he cries right now!!

After dinner, Bai Luoyin wiped his mouth and stood up, “I’m leaving.”

“You’re going to leave just like that?” Gu Hai asked, unable to hold it in any longer.

Bai Luoyin’s brow slightly locked, “If not, then what else?”

In seconds, Gu Hai’s complexion changed course as he organized his thoughts in silence—thinking about what method he should employ as a ‘perfect and just’ cause to make the exceptionally brilliant man stay. Then rightfully devour him all at once as to make him surrender and bow down to him from then on.

In the end, Bai Luoyin did not give Gu Hai a chance to detain him at all.

“I can’t stay here. I have to be strict with myself so that my future lover can see just how much of a dependable person I am. Isn’t that right, Gu-zong?”

With that, he lit a cigarette and let it hang loosely in his mouth. He threw his military uniform jacket over his shoulder and then strolled out of the door in an extremely confident and easy-going demeanor.

At night, when Gu Hai was taking a shower, he was no longer able to control himself. This need was simply even more difficult to endure than a drug addiction. His mind was completely and utterly overtaken by Bai Luoyin’s face…

…those serene yet cold and enticing eyes, the two long and slender legs that ran for miles on end, that faint smirk at the corner of his lips when he mocked him, and that little round ass wrapped tightly and perfectly in his military uniform…

In these eight years, Gu Hai has truly saved up an abundance of energy… now, no matter how much he released, there was still no sense of satisfaction whatsoever.

It would have been great if he stayed, then even if I exhausted all my energy and die, it would be worth it!!

Gu Hai leaned against the bedhead and anxiously smoked a cigarette mentally urging himself to the point of self-hypnotism.

You have to stay calm. You must keep cool. If you compromise now, he will believe this method of seducing people is effective… he will thoroughly put your body to use then run off and flaunt it to other people. You must destroy these sinful habits of his and let him completely understand he doesn’t have any charm or…. allure to show off so he shouldn’t go and humiliate himself in front of other people.

That night, Gu Hai had no choice but to force himself to sleep with all those ‘thoughts’ clashing against each other.

Early morning of the next day, he carried his ‘son’ to the company again.

For the next few days, Bai Luoyin would always drive over before work was over then follow Gu Hai back home to leech a meal from him.

Gu Hai has acquired a very favorable habit. That is, every day, he would schedule himself around the time Bai Luoyin drove over and keep watch at the side of the window. With great interest, he would completely engross himself in watching as Bai Luoyin’s awe-inspiring silhouette stood in front of the car to wait just for him.

At the same time, he also enjoyed the ultimate thrill of being chased!

Once Yan Yajing had finished handling all her family’ affairs, she immediately returned to work. The day she arrived, she quickly discovered there was an extra item in Gu Hai’s office. At first, she had even though it was placed there as a practical joke by someone. But after seeing it a few more times, she realized that this donkey was unexpectedly brought in by none other than Gu Hai himself. And, not only that, he adored and doted on it to no end. If anyone said any unpleasant word about the donkey, Gu Hai would assuredly become hostile with her.

Today, as she usually does, Yan Yajing went to Gu Hai’s office before work ended only to discover that Gu Hai’s gaze has traveled out the window again.

Yan Yajing has already seen this scenario twice now and this has aroused her curiosity to know what he was gazing on, with such an unfamiliar expression.

“Gu-zong,” Yan Yajing knocked on the door a couple of times.

Hearing the noise, Gu Hai shifted his gaze over and the warmth that rode at the depth of his eyes dropped as he spoke with an unenthusiastic tone instead.

“Just leave the documents there!”

After Yan Yajing compiled and placed the documents down, she glanced over to Gu Hai again only to see that his eyes have already flown toward the window.

“What are you looking at?” Yan Yajing asked, unable to hold back her curiosity.

Gu Hai faintly smiled and called Yan Yajing over before pointing outside the window to where Bai Luoyin was standing, “Doesn’t he look particularly foolish standing there?”

Even as he said those words, the look in his eyes cannot mask the adoration that seeped out.

Yan Yajing stared in utter surprise at Gu Hai, completely unable to comprehend how he could look at his own brother with such interest and excitement like this. What’s more, she could not make out what was so foolish about Bai Luoyin, contrariwise, she thought that Gu Hai’s behaviors were foolish instead.

“Oh, I’ve seen him standing there for the last two days after I get out of work. But I don’t know who he’s waiting for.”

As those words entered his ears, the corner of Gu Hai’s lips rose into an arrogant smirk as if Yan Yajing had said those words intentionally for only him to hear.

Yan Yajing continued, “But since he came here, all the employees have been lingering around in the lounge, hesitant to leave after work. When I left the day before yesterday, I happened to see an employee being friendly with him and had even asked for his phone number.”

Gu Hai’s eyes welled with nervousness, “Did he give it?”

“He did!” Yan Yajing smiled until the corners of her lips rose, “He has a really great affinity with women. You know, it wasn’t just one time that I’ve seen girls walked over to hit on him. To be honest, your brother is truly a god given calamity. He is extremely eye-catching just by standing there, it’s impossible for people to not pay attention to him.”

While she sprouted those words, his face had already become somewhat red. Gu Hai peered out once more, and the palatable sweet feelings from before immediately faded. With a gloomy and unsatisfied expression, he got up and walked out.
