Are You Addicted? Volume 1 Chapter 6

"What? You want to transfer?"

Gu Hai nodded his head, "My current school is too close to my house, and since I have moved out

now, it's quite inconvenient without reliable transportation."

Fang Fei was a bit shocked at Gu Hai's words, "Did you just say that you moved out?"

Gu Hai sat leaned leisurely against the cabinet as he casually lit up a cigarette before answering, "The

old man and I had a fight."

Fang Fei s.n.a.t.c.hed the cigarette in Gu Hai's hand, "You're too young to smoke, let me tell you,

smoking can affect your p.u.b.erty."

"I've already pa.s.sed p.u.b.erty."

Feng Fei's eyes involuntarily glanced over Gu Hai's crotch area, but she was quick to withdraw her

stare and pretended nothing happened as she started a new conversation.

"So, what kind of school are you looking for?"

"This is where I need your help."

"I knew it, there is nothing good in you looking for me."

Gu Hai cracked a small smile, "Now, you are the only family that I can depend on."

Fang Fei felt touched upon hearing those words. Gu Hai was like her own sibling; he would always

follow her wherever she goes. Even when they both grew up, it was still the same, it doesn't matter

what, he would always come to find her.

"Actually, my husband had just made friends with someone who happens to be a princ.i.p.al."

"Then hurry and tell him to help me."

"Hold on," Fang Fei held onto Gu Hai's hand, "I have to tell you before hand, this school is not

those top rate schools, learning environment is not as good as the school you're at now; well, it's not

so bad though."

"As long as I can study there, everything is up to you."

Bai Luo Yin had just turned on the computer and logged into his email; his inbox was filled with

spam of more than twenty unread emails from an oversea address, and they were from the same

person... s.h.i.+ Hui.

Delete, delete everything completely.

If he were to end it, he must do it so there would be no trace of feelings left.

"Xiao Yin ah~ Come here."

Grandma Bai's voice called out to him from the room next door.

Bai Luo Yin hurriedly stood up and walked to her room.

Grandma Bai was sitting on the couch, a pet.i.te and chubby figure just like a little Buddha statue; if

she did not utter a word, everyone would have thought she has a healthy body and a lucid mind. But

once she spoke, her words would scare them off.

"Xiao Yin ah, chop an apple for me."

[T/N: She uses "砍" (kan, cut/chop: usually used when referring to cutting wood/trees) instead of "切" (qie,

cut/slice)]

Bai Luo Yin had already been used to this kind of speech, he immediately picked up an apple and

started to peel it. When he was halfway done, Grandma Bai could not watch anymore; she picked up

the apple skin with her mouth mumbling something, and put them into her mouth.

Bai Luo Yin tried to stop her, "Grandma, don't eat it."

"Thick, Thick"

[T/N: She meant that he was being wasteful for cutting such thick layer of apple skin.]

Bai Luo Yin understood that his grandma said he cut too deep into the apple.

A year ago, his grandma was someone who was very talkative; during family gatherings, you would

only hear her voice. At that time, grandma Bai was a very chatty person, ten people could not

compete with her.

Just starting this year, grandma Bai was admitted to the hospital due to pulmonary embolism, and

later thrombosis had formed along the blood vessel that carries blood flow to the cerebellum, which

caused her to speak in such inexplicable speech.

[T/N: pulmonary embolism - a sudden blockage in a lung artery.

thrombosis - a serious condition caused when a blood clot blocks the flow of blood in a blood vessel.]

Take "chop an apple" instead of "cut an apple" for example, and most of the time, she would call

grandpa Bai as Uncle, or call Luo Yin's aunt as older sister; over time, she would even call her own

grandson as someone at the same age as her.

"Grandma, I'm going back to my room, the computer is still on."

"Wait for a bit, I want to chat with you a bit longer."

One more thing, even though grandma Bai's speech was not the same as before, she could still

enthusiastically do chit-chatting, maybe even more than before. Whenever she could get a hold on

someone, she would go on nonstop; to the point that everyone in the neighborhood would run away

whenever they saw her. Honestly speaking, only her own family members would be able to

completely understand her current newly-created "speech".

"When will go back to shoe (school)?"

[T/N: 鞋(xié) - shoe // 学(xué) – school]

"In about a week or so"

Grandma Bai clutched onto Bai Luo Yin's hands with an exaggerated concerned facial expression,

she looked just like a healthy little lady.

"Study hard, don't cause trouble (be arrogant)"

[T/N: 闹(nào) - noisy; be troubled // 傲(ào) – arrogant]

Bai Luo Yin used the baby voice to reply back, "Grandma, don't be worried, I will not cause trouble

(be arrogant)"

In less than five minutes, grandma Bai began to fall in a deep sleep; usually older people would have

a hard time sleeping, yet grandma Bai was definitely an exception. She would wake up at eight in the

morning for breakfast, and go back to sleep until noon, had lunch, go back to sleep again until four

in the afternoon, move around the house for a bit, begin to eat dinner, and then at eight o'clock she

would turn in for the night.

In contrast to grandma Bai, grandpa Bai would wake up and leave his bed at four in the early

morning, ride the bicycle around the neighborhood, at noon he would come back for a meal, go out

again in the afternoon, come back at nighttime for dinner, then go out for a short walk, and by the

time he got back, it would be very late at night.

They only had one thing in common: They were both muddle-headed.

[T/N: muddle-headed - mentally disorganized or confused.]

For example, they both watched a few programs on television, and then at night they would connect

all events together. The next morning, they would come up with the completed and detailed TV

drama, and would quickly to find someone to retell the story.

Bai Luo Yin conveniently picked up a gown on the sofa and covered grandma Bai in it, then he

walked out of the room.
