The sound of a motorcycle horn blaring outside the window jolted Guan Baiyu awake from his sleep, who covered his head in surprise.
His head was throbbing and he felt nauseous.
He had insomnia again last night.
I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep until after 3 a.m., when I was finally woken up again early the next morning.
This situation has been going on for a long time.
He couldn't settle down before the initial compilation results came out, and now... there are rumors circulating about him and Shi Zhen.
If he is not careful, all his years of hard work could be ruined.
This wasn't the first time he'd encountered something like this, but it still disgusted him.
And then there's the Sun family, whom he's always hated, who has absolutely nothing to do with him.
He's been in a really bad mood lately and always wants to get angry, but he doesn't have anyone else around except Shi Zhen, and he doesn't want to get angry with Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen is very busy. He is dealing with Shao Baitong and is about to succeed. If he gets angry with Shi Zhen at this time, wouldn't that be disturbing him?
He can calm down first...
These days, he doesn't dare to talk too much with Shi Zhen, for fear that he's like a powder keg that will explode at the slightest touch.
He was always gentle in front of Shi Zhen; he didn't want to show his hysterical side.
Guan Baiyu lay on the bed, not wanting to get up.
He's probably feeling unwell lately, so he doesn't want to eat anything except for a few strong-flavored foods, and even then, he can't eat much.
As he lay there, Guan Baiyu drifted off to sleep again.
He had a dream, a beautiful dream.
In his dream, Shi Zhen appeared in his life when he was in the third year of junior high school, and then took care of him...
This dream is too unrealistic; Shi Zhen is not that kind of person at all!
Putting everything else aside, Shi Zhen isn't that clean.
And he doesn't have any cousin at all! This guy is a liar!
She must have her eye on him!
However... Shi Zhen has always been a gentleman, but in the dream, he was always thinking about seducing Shi Zhen.
They haven't hooked up yet!
Guan Baiyu felt that the version of himself in his dream was somewhat useless.
If it were him, he wouldn't refrain from harming Shi Zhen out of guilt.
He will do everything he can to keep Shi Zhen firmly in his grasp and prevent him from escaping.
Fortunately, they ended up together.
Wait... Shi Zhen was reborn?
He went out to eat with Shi Zhen, and then they got hit by a car?
Guan Baiyu was stunned, then suddenly woke up, and at the same time... he remembered what was going to happen next.
He died.
Today, Shi Zhen will come home early and then take him out to eat.
However, as soon as they went outside, a car tried to hit them.
Shi Zhen pushed him away, but Shi Zhen himself would be bumped, so he pushed Shi Zhen again.
Then came the excruciating pain, and Shi Zhen's voice calling his name repeatedly.
All of this was crystal clear; it was something he had personally experienced, and now... less than 12 hours until his death.
Could he have been holding it in for too long and damaged his brain?
What kind of nonsense is this? How could such a thing possibly happen!
Thinking back to the time in their village, there was a mentally ill patient who would daydream about all sorts of things and actually believe them to be true... Guan Baiyu was dumbfounded.
Could it be that he... also suffers from mental illness?
Otherwise, why would they feel like they've already died once?
He even felt that the things in his dream were real.
What... should we do?
Guan Baiyu looked somewhat dejected and went back to bed.
He didn't know how long he had been lying there when he suddenly heard the door open.
Guan Baiyu picked up the phone next to him and glanced at the time.
It was already past four in the afternoon when Shi Zhen returned. He would bring back sliced pineapple and happily tell him that Shao Baitong was finished...
Wait, this is all in his imagination, and he actually believed it?
But the pain when he died was so intense... it was really his idea.
Thinking this, Guan Baiyu got up and walked out. Then he saw Shi Zhen carrying a sliced pineapple into the room. Upon seeing him, Shi Zhen exclaimed, "Xiaoyu! Shao Baitong is finished! He's finished!"
Exactly the same!
Shi Zhen's clothes and appearance were exactly the same!
He was still asleep when Shi Zhen left, so he shouldn't have known that Shi Zhen was wearing this!
He would then smile and ask Shi Zhen if he wanted to celebrate.
Guan Baiyu forced a smile and asked, "Should we celebrate?"
Shi Zhen said, "Yes, a new shop just opened nearby..."
Shi Zhen was saying something, but Guan Baiyu's mind was buzzing. He suddenly realized that he had really been reborn.
And now, he is only an hour away from dying.
Next, Shi Zhen will take a shower and change his clothes, and then we'll take him out to eat...
Guan Baiyu remained silent.
Shi Zhen's initial joy was dashed, but he still said, "I'm going to take a shower. Let's go out to eat today..."
"I'm not going!" Guan Baiyu said without even thinking.
He felt like swearing.
He felt like he was about to explode with anger!
He wasn't angry about what he was about to die, but rather... he felt that what happened in his dream was real.
He died, and then Shi Zhen... got off easy for another version of himself, why should he!
He knew he was being a bit unreasonable, but he had been holding back a lot of anger!
“You…” Shi Zhen looked at Guan Baiyu with displeasure.
He accomplished something great, and he was so happy! He just wanted to share it with Guan Baiyu.
Guan Baiyu, on the other hand, wouldn't even go out for a meal with him.
Guan Baiyu became increasingly indifferent to him, and... increasingly disgusted with him.
Shi Zhen had a fiery temper and was about to explode, but he didn't.
Guan Baiyu was already disgusted with him, so if he got angry again... wouldn't that just be playing into Guan Baiyu's hands?
Although he had considered breaking up with Guan Baiyu and letting her go, he didn't want to rush things and wanted to wait a little longer.
Since Guan Baiyu didn't mention it, he'd just pretend... he didn't know.
Shi Zhen opened his mouth, but finally managed to stammer out, "Then I'll go by myself."
Having finally avenged himself, he wanted to find a place to have a good drink and get completely drunk.
But it's definitely not possible at home... Guan Baiyu hasn't been cooking lately, or even buying groceries. When he gets home at night and is hungry, he can't find anything to eat.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Zhen asked again, "What do you want to eat? I'll bring you some..."
"You're not allowed to go either!" Guan Baiyu said.
Guan Baiyu's face was cold, and Shi Zhen was also unhappy: "Why should I be allowed to go out to eat, and you won't let me go out either..."
If you go outside, you'll get hit and killed!
Guan Baiyu looked at Shi Zhen, who was covered in sweat, and felt a surge of anger.
Shi Zhen is twenty-eight years old this year.
In my dream, Shi Zhen was exceptionally well-preserved. He neither smoked nor drank, and at his age, he had no health problems whatsoever!
What about Shi Zhen?
This person smokes and drinks, has many minor health problems, and is also overweight!
If this continues, his lungs and liver will fail!
Most importantly... the reborn Shi Zhen in the dream didn't even live to be twenty years later!
He died so young!
“I said you’re not allowed to go out, and you’re not allowed to go out!” Guan Baiyu said.
"Why should I listen to you?" Shi Zhen said.
Guan Baiyu has always been somewhat... thoughtful and prone to overthinking.
He knew Shi Zhen liked him, but he wasn't sure if Shi Zhen would always like him. So he always tried very hard to figure out Shi Zhen's thoughts, and would even tell Shi Zhen things like that the people outside might have venereal diseases, to scare Shi Zhen.
It's just that Shi Zhen likes men, and there aren't many men like that around him, otherwise... he feels he would be staring at Shi Zhen all day long.
That's just the kind of person he is.
If Shi Zhen had said something like that before, he probably would have softened and might have even acted spoiled and made a fuss.
But he's angry right now.
Guan Baiyu said, "Because I'm your man!"
Shi Zhen was initially very unhappy, after all, Guan Baiyu had given him a hard time again, but hearing what Guan Baiyu said... his face flushed a little: "You..."
Guan Baiyu said, "No matter what! You're not allowed to leave the house today!"
Shi Zhen finally came to his senses: "This won't do, I have some things to do tonight..."
"What's wrong with you now? Why do you have so many things to do?" Guan Baiyu asked.
Shi Zhen was a little embarrassed by Guan Baiyu's words, but Guan Baiyu's aggressive demeanor, which was completely different from his usual self, brought him back to his senses.
Is Guan Baiyu picking a fight with him, trying to break up with him?
“I don’t have a lot of things to do. It’s you who hasn’t wanted to talk to me lately!” Shi Zhen said.
"You come home so late, what do you expect me to talk to?"
“When I used to come home late, you would always prepare something for me to eat, and you never complained about me, and you never slept with me!”
"Who told you to snore? Who could sleep with you!"
"No one has ever said I snore except you! Are you disgusted with me? Do you want to break up with me?" Shi Zhen finally couldn't help but ask.
"You dare say 'break up'? You're not breaking up!" Guan Baiyu grabbed a cushion from the sofa and threw it at Shi Zhen. "Even if I die, I'll cling to you. You're not breaking up!"
When the word "death" came up, Guan Baiyu finally lost control, sat down on the ground, covered his face, and started crying.
He seemed to be trying to cry away all the chaotic emotions in his heart.
Shi Zhen was stunned.
Guan Baiyu had a lot to say at this moment: "You bastard! You're always drunk, don't you care about your stomach or your liver?!"
"You're still snoring! I can't sleep at night, I have terrible headaches, and you're still snoring, and you won't admit it!"
"I want to kick you awake every day! If you weren't so tired, I would kick you seven or eight times a day!"
"I finally got a government job, and your sister is still talking badly about me outside. It makes me so angry!"
"I only slept for three or four hours last night, and I haven't eaten a single bite of food all day today, and you still won't listen to me!"
...
Guan Baiyu doesn't want to do anything else right now, he just wants to argue with Shi Zhen.
After the argument started, he still had a sense of fearlessness.
Judging from the situation in the dream, you can tell how much Shi Zhen likes him!
"You dare say 'break up'! Do you want to dump me and find someone younger? Don't even think about it! You horny dog!"
Shi Zhen was dumbfounded.
Guan Baiyu had never argued with him, especially not while sitting on the ground crying and arguing.
Then he seized on the key point: "You haven't eaten all day? I'll go buy you something to eat..."
"I told you you're not allowed to go out!" Guan Baiyu roared.
Shi Zhen: "...Then...I'll make you something?"
"Are you crazy?! I'm arguing with you!" Guan Baiyu wiped away her tears again.
Shi Zhenyuan originally wanted to argue with Guan Baiyu, after all, he had been holding back a lot of anger lately.
Putting everything else aside, he found it hard to accept that Guan Baiyu might not like him and wanted to break up with him.
But now Guan Baiyu will haunt him even as a ghost... so isn't that the end of it?
He doesn't want to argue anymore!
And since Guan Baiyu was crying like this, it's most likely true that he snores. Now Shi Zhen was particularly embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I didn't know I snore. Everyone says I don't..." He used to sleep on the construction site, and no one ever said he snored.
"Just because we didn't fight before doesn't mean we won't fight now. You just lie down and go to sleep, but I can't sleep at all!" Guan Baiyu picked up a cushion next to him and used it to slap Shi Zhen's leg.
Shi Zhen squatted down: "Don't be angry, hit me if you want... but don't use a pillow, it won't hurt." If Guan Baiyu really wanted to hit him, a remote control would be more effective than a pillow!
Guan Baiyu gave him another pillow: "You bastard, you'll have to pay for the damage if I hurt you!"
Shi Zhen: "..."
Guan Baiyu didn't want to talk about his rebirth.
If Shi Zhen knew about this, he would definitely be upset... He planned to keep this to himself for the rest of his life.
Now...
Guan Baiyu started crying again: "I'm so upset. It turns out I was bought by my grandma. I'm not a member of the Sun family at all."
"Do you know how difficult it is for me to take the exam? Everyone else has connections!"
"I feel terrible. I can't sleep at night, I have headaches, and I can't eat anything."
...Guan Baiyu sat on the ground, crying and making a scene.
He had never cried like this before, not since he could remember.
After all, nobody cares about him.
But right now, he just wants to cry.
After his initial helplessness, Shi Zhen finally came to his senses and began to comfort him: "Don't cry, it's all my fault."
He held Guan Baiyu in his arms, and Guan Baiyu leaned against him and cried, "You come home so late every day. Don't you know how worried I am when you don't come home? I can't sleep!"
Shi Zhen said, "I will definitely come back sooner in the future."
"What's so great about smoking? You smoke so much!"
"I will definitely quit smoking in the future."
"You're still drinking! You clearly can't hold your liquor, yet you still drink!"
"I...I won't drink it anymore."
"You're just trying to appease me!"
"I'm not lying to you, I'm telling you the truth."
...
When Shi Ting was little, Shi Zhen always coaxed her. He knew that sometimes, the more you coax children, the more they cry.
But... he couldn't bear not to coax her!
Guan Baiyu had always been gentle and kind in front of him, but now she was crying like this, she must have suffered so much... He would accept it even if it took him a whole night to comfort her.
Actually, he's quite happy right now.
Guan Baiyu was crying and making a fuss because she was worried about his health.
He had thought Guan Baiyu was only with him for money, but now it seems... that's clearly not the case.
He actually wished Guan Baiyu would scold him a few more times and hit him a few more times. After all, a beating is a sign of affection, and scolding is a sign of love!
Shi Zhen was already happy today, and now he was even happier. Seeing that Guan Baiyu's eyes were red from crying, he couldn't help but kiss him.
Guan Baiyu then said, "You pervert!"
"Yes, yes, I'm a pervert!" Shi Zhen now admits to everything.
Who told Guan Baiyu to call him a pervert while simultaneously snuggling into his arms?
As Guan Baiyu snuggled into his arms, she complained, "You smell like sweat, it's awful."
"I'm going to take a shower right away..."
"Don't you want to hold me anymore?" Guan Baiyu said.
Shi Zhen: "..."
Guan Baiyu then said, "You hold me while I take a bath!"
Shao Baitong is still outside, and Guan Baiyu doesn't want Shi Zhen out of his sight!
Shi Zhen was overjoyed.
Guan Baiyu has been in a bad mood lately, and he doesn't even know how long he's been celibate.
He picked Guan Baiyu up from the ground, and upon holding him, he realized that Guan Baiyu had indeed lost a lot of weight.
He suddenly realized that Guan Baiyu hadn't eaten yet.
Taking a bath is nothing compared to eating!
For Shi Zhen, the most unbearable thing was going hungry!
"Wait a minute, I'll go get you something to eat first, then you can take a shower." Shi Zhen put Guan Baiyu on the sofa and went to find something to eat.
He was busy during this time, and Guan Baiyu didn't buy groceries for his family, so they didn't have much to eat. Fortunately, he had bought instant noodles, biscuits, ham sausages, braised eggs, and other snacks because he was hungry when he got home late at night and had nothing to eat.
Guan Baiyu was still sobbing when she suddenly said, "I want to eat spicy food."
Shi Zhen originally wanted to get the braised beef flavor, but after hearing Guan Baiyu's suggestion, he took a spicy pack. After thinking for a moment, he took two non-spicy packs instead.
He cooked the three packets of noodles together, added the seasonings, sliced in three sausages, and broke open three braised eggs. Finally, he gave one-third of the noodles to Guan Baiyu.
The rest was his; he was hungry too.
Guan Baiyu kept sobbing until Shi Zhen finished making the noodles. Only then did he sit down at the table to eat, and after one bite, he said, "You're fooling me! This isn't spicy!"
“You haven’t eaten all day, don’t eat anything too spicy…” Shi Zhen said.
"Is it as spicy as 50-degree liquor?" Guan Baiyu asked.
Shi Zhen lowered his head and ate instant noodles.
Before he got home, he had planned to have a big meal that night, but in the end he just ate two packs of instant noodles.
But he was quite happy.
Guan Baiyu then said, "I only have one egg, but you have two!"
Shi Zhen gave him one because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to eat it, and said, "I'll go and open another one for you."
"I can't eat! And I only want to eat the egg yolk," Guan Baiyu said again.
Guan Baiyu likes to eat the yolks when boiling eggs, and also likes chicken liver and other similar foods... Shi Zhen ate the egg whites and quickly gave the yolks to Guan Baiyu.
He actually prefers flavorful egg whites... What's so good about dry egg yolks?
Guan Baiyu finally stopped saying anything, and continued eating while sobbing.
Shi Zhen looked at him and felt a soft feeling in his heart.
Guan Baiyu is so adorable!
How can there be such lovely people in this world!
Thinking about how they would take a shower together after dinner... Shi Zhen unconsciously sped up his eating of instant noodles.
He even ate the remaining whole braised egg in one bite.
Then Guan Baiyu cried again: "Don't you know you should chew your food slowly? You eat so fast, it's bad for your stomach!"
Shi Zhen: "..." He was anxious at this moment!
