Incurable Pain | Chapter 71

Yu Luoyin came unexpectedly, and Bai Xunyin felt as if her whole body was burning with passion, unable to be extinguished even by the drizzling rain.

As the rain gradually intensified, the sound of thunder and lightning striking against the windows became particularly clear.

This continued from the afternoon until dusk.

In a half-awake state, Bai Xunyin felt as if a slender figure appeared hazily before her eyes, wearing a blue and white school uniform—that was the eighteen-year-old Yu Luoyin, a young man with a handsome and compelling appearance, yet surrounded by an imperceptible sense of desolation.

She seemed to see the young man biting a cigarette, his dark eyebrows slightly furrowed, hesitantly walking into a psychological counseling center that seemed capable of devouring one’s heart. He was handsome yet helpless, only able to seek help from a doctor.

Bai Xunyin subconsciously wanted to stop him, to make a sound, but all that came out was a low hum.

Forced to come to her senses, Bai Xunyin looked at the man before her, and the face of the young man in her memory gradually overlapped—there was a fleeting feeling of indulgence with two Yu Luoyins.

Bai Xunyin’s hazel eyes shimmered as if veiled by a thin layer of mist.

She was beautiful, serene, and alluring, like a siren enticing one’s soul beneath the sea.

She then passed out.

It was only then that Yu Luoyin, with a pang of conscience, realized and gently kissed the damp underside of Bai Xunyin’s jaw. He then got up to clean her.

Bai Xunyin was probably truly exhausted, showing no sign of waking up even after being jostled around by the warm water for a while. Her delicate eyelids drooped, sleeping soundly.

Yu Luoyin changed the messy bed sheets and then hugged the girl in his arms, her limbs soft and light. He kneaded her annoyingly until her delicate brows lightly furrowed, and she unhappily opened her lips to push away his hand.

Only then did he slyly feel happy.

It’s said that after the event, lighting up a cigarette is divine—yet with the delicate and fragrant nephrite in his embrace, Yu Luoyin immediately lost interest because smoking was not a necessity for him, but this moment the girl was.

Yu Luoyin knew that Bai Xunyin actually disliked the smell of smoke. When they were in high school together, he would occasionally smoke, and Bai Xunyin always faintly frowned, so he gradually smoked less.

Over the years, he had been intermittently trying to quit, but sometimes his heart felt restless, inevitably breaking the vow.

But now… his heart was clear, free from worries.

Perhaps he could really succeed in quitting this time.

—

The next day was the weekend, and both of them had their mobile phones on standby at any time, so they naturally fell asleep up until midday without any distractions.

When Bai Xunyin woke up, she felt a sour and bloated sensation in her abdomen, as if she were being entangled by someone, like there was a heavy stone pressing on her, making her feel extremely heavy.

She opened her groggy eyes and saw Yu Luoyin’s face close at hand.

Under the sunlight, his long eyelashes cast a shallow shadow beneath his fair eyelids. His hair and features were as black as ink, and his quiet sleeping appearance was like that of a little prince.

Bai Xunyin’s brows twitched slightly, and she used her fingers to resist the urge to touch his straight nose, gently removing the man’s hand resting on her waist, preparing to get out of bed.

But as soon as she turned to the side to climb down, her slender ankle was grabbed.

Bai Xunyin was taken aback and turned to look at Yu Luoyin, who had not yet opened his eyes. Perhaps he had just woken up or was pretending to be asleep.

After all, they had just been intimate last night, and suddenly waking up like this was still a bit dizzying.

Bai Xunyin bit her lip slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and said truthfully, “I need to use the bathroom.”

“Mmm.”

Yu Luoyin lazily half-sat up, his long arms and legs reaching out to grab her waist.

“I’ll carry you there.”

…

After using the bathroom, Bai Xunyin’s ears were all red.

She looked at Yu Luoyin with annoyance, “Why are you so clingy?”

Yu Luoyin ignored her and, pretending to be literary, said with a lascivious smile, “A delicate beauty awaits to be plucked, why resist the urge?”

…

Truly deserving of being a level ten Chinese master, even when being a rogue, he still spoke so elegantly. Those who didn’t know might think he graduated with a degree in liberal arts.

Bai Xunyin couldn’t match his shamelessness, so she simply ignored him and lazily said, “I’m tired, massage me.”

Seizing the opportunity to get close to her, Yu Luoyin naturally agreed readily.

The strength of his long fingers kneading made Bai Xunyin let out a soft hum, and the girl who had been hurt by him seemed to be entangled in an ambiguous tone, with each and every movement of hers tantalizing.

Yu Luoyin’s black eyes darkened, and his slender fingertips brushed her skirt.

“Don’t.”

Bai Xunyin quickly stopped him, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“Don’t do it anymore.”

She was still uncomfortable.

“Heh, I won’t touch you. Let me apply some medicine.”

After applying the medicine, Bai Xunyin’s energy was completely depleted. She lay on the bed, her slender legs limp, and kicked him lightly with annoyance.

“I’m hungry.”

“Okay.”

Yu Luoyin put on his clothes, got out of bed, and said, “I’ll cook and feed you.”

Bai Xunyin, leaning on the door of the kitchen, looked over with some surprise.

The vegetables in the refrigerator were all bought by Shi Huiying before, and she found that Yu Luoyin was chopping the vegetables very finely.

Just like performing surgery, seeking precision, meticulous… but obviously a novice.

Bai Xunyin couldn’t help but want to laugh a little. As she walked in, she lowered her gaze and noticed a small ‘red spot’ on the man’s fair thumb joint—like a scar left by a burst blister from scalding.

She remained silent for a moment before asking gently, “Why did you suddenly start cooking?”

Because he liked home-cooked dishes.

Yu Luoyin smiled faintly and replied, “The food outside is not healthy, don’t you dislike it?”

He and Bai Xunyin both needed to learn how to cook. If the girl didn’t touch any kitchen work, then he would do it.

Yu Luoyin tilted his head slightly and said with certainty, “I’ll learn to cook properly from now on.”

Bai Xunyin didn’t say anything, she just walked over and hugged the man’s slender waist from behind, her two clean arms soft like willow branches.

With her small face against Yu Luoyin’s protruding butterfly bones, she inexplicably felt a sense of peace and contentment.

It seemed that in this small corner, she found the sense of security that had been missing all along, serene and satisfied.

She felt somewhat fortunate that after six years, with all the twists and turns, they could still embrace each other here.

“Yu Luoyin,” Bai Xunyin couldn’t help but ask softly, “Have you been to the north before?”

This was something she was curious about yesterday and wanted to find a way to understand. But at this moment, she didn’t want to ask anyone else about Yu Luoyin’s past, just him.

After asking, she keenly noticed that the man she was holding stiffened.

“Smart little one,” Yu Luoyin couldn’t help but smile, his deep voice transmitted to Bai Xunyin through his body, “Did you guess from the photos of the snow scenery?”

Bai Xunyin’s voice sounded muffled, “Did you go to find me?”

“Not to find,” Yu Luoyin turned around, hugged her, and rubbed her head with his still wet hand, “Just to peek.”

Actually… he just missed her, and couldn’t hold it back.

During the first year of his sophomore year when he went outside the university, he happened to see Bai Xunyin.

People from Linlan rarely saw snow, and it happened to snow in the north that day. He clearly saw the surprise and joy on the girl’s face.

He rarely saw her smile during their time at Third Middle High, and her pure and bright smile at that time left a deep impression on Yu Luoyin. He felt relieved but dared not get closer. Yu Luoyin was afraid that his past would make Bai Xunyin unhappy.

But as long as he could see her, he was satisfied. Like recharging, just one glance could get him through the next year, gradually becoming a habit.

“No wonder you knew I didn’t have a boyfriend and came back to pester me,” Bai Xunyin’s nose was slightly red, her voice muffled, “So you’ve been secretly watching me.”

“Yeah, my little girl is so good,” Yu Luoyin smiled, “So I’ll be good too.”

Always being good, waiting for someone to come back.

Dinner was made by Yu Luoyin, the ‘chef,’ himself. He made hand-cooked tomato and egg noodles, done quite skillfully, with color, fragrance, and taste all perfect.

Actually, Bai Xunyin didn’t love eating noodles very much, she preferred rice. But now she was very hungry, so the noodles tasted delicious.

While biting on the noodles, she couldn’t help but think of Yu Luoyin’s frustration after his first failed attempt at cooking, which made her want to laugh.

It turns out that someone who supposedly couldn’t cook at all could really improve their culinary skills.

If a man truly loves you, he will learn to cook well for you, pampering you and handling everything himself.

For many people, being in a relationship and having a boyfriend or girlfriend is a necessity, but for Bai Xunyin, it never was.

It was only after being with Yu Luoyin that she gradually understood what a ‘necessity’ meant.

After the initial attraction comes deeper commitment.

Yu Luoyin was busy with work, often working overtime for almost five days a week. Unfortunately, Bai Xunyin was not relaxed either. They claimed to be in love, but their communication mostly relied on WeChat.

But things changed after he started eating meat*.

*T/N: have sex

Yu Luoyin’s password was added to the gate of Bai Xunyin’s house. Since then, no matter how busy he was, no matter how late he got off work, he always felt uneasy if he didn’t come over for a meal.

As he came more often, he started bringing more things with him—pajamas, toothpaste, toothbrush, a few everyday clothes, a laptop… and all sorts of necessities.

Gradually, it began to feel like they were ‘living together.’

But Yu Luoyin’s cooking skills improved, and Bai Xunyin was being taken care of both in bed and out of it, so compared to her previous life of eating bread in the morning and cafeteria food at night, it was simply a huge qualitative leap.

So she turned a blind eye to Yu Luoyin’s ‘intrusiveness.’

Perhaps living life with a person to accompany you is really better than being alone.

Except for when Yu Luoyin went all out after eating meat, leaving her sore all over.
