Back to the Apocalypse

Chapter 31

The young Master was in a bad mood and his face blatantly said so. He stared at the reporter who was still commenting about the cataclysmic events of the day, then switched off the TV and rushed upstairs, leaving behind his people who was dumbfound by his actions.

"Is the young master all right?" Qin Yi frowned deeply. As a grateful and newly appointed bodyguard, he was very earnest in trying to fulfill his duty.

After being together for some time now, he had heard everything that could be said about Bai Jing's situation, including of course, him being the son of the State Counsellor.

But that did not faze him as he was a simple man and a soldier who felt that what he thought was of no importance. His only duty was to follow orders. In addition, in face of Bai Jing's status and after waiting for more than a month for his warrant to be all over the news, Qin Yi realised that the young master actually did what he promised, and he has since then been sleeping peacefully. He was grateful from the bottom of his heart, especially so for his brother Xin Hao, who had adapted so well to this new life that he had already contacted a nearby school and would begin next semester. Likewise for Xu Lei's future, for which he wouldn't need to worry so much about about anymore.

"It's nothing, he's just in love. Mood swings, that's normal," Cao Lei lazily replied as he pick up his phone.

To be frank, a few days ago when they went to get the guns, the sight of that scene scared Cao Lei half to death. Well, it wasn't really because of Bai Jing buying the weapons, it was instead the view of him and Xiao San getting along that had utterly shocked him. His heart went crazy trying to grasp the idea that this young master truly could be gay! He was out of it for a long time, before making peace with the situation.

"What are you doing?" asked Wang Xuebing when he saw him picking up the phone.

But his lover's heart was of no secret to him, having known him for so many years, he naturally knew who he was about to call. After Bai Jing's declaration, Wang Xuebing became exponentially protective of him and could not help himself as he anxiously watch the unfolding of that bizarre love affaire.

Hence, he was now depressed and since he himself was gay, he didn't known how to persuade the young master to stop seeing Xiao San. He didn't seem to mistreat Bai Jing but just one look was enough to tell that really, he wasn't a good man.

On the side, Xu Lei eyes shined with delight. As a woman whose heart was rotten 'till the very core, there was no greater pleasure in life than to look at two men acting intimately, seducing each other and falling in love, without forgetting all the gossip that came with it.

She had only been here for half a month and she was already like a fish in water. When it came to his girlfriend, Qin Yi had quickly learned to give up, but as things were, even Qin Hao was not left unmoved. He too, had been deeply poisoned as his worship of Xiao San was but second to his brother, which made Cao Lei very dissatisfied.

Qin Hao was only 17 years old and therefore younger than Bai Jing, but he was smart, cheerful and his mouth was sweet. You could always heard him around the house calling Bai Jing ''big brother Jing'' and Xiao San "big brother San"

Likewise, Wang Xuebing was now a "big brother Xuebing'' to him, but when it came to Cao Lei, Qin Hao – who had met him before in his childhood – remembered him as a very arrogant man. Of course, those vague memories could not speak for Cao Lei true worth, but milk had been spilled and his dislike was pretty much established at this point. Not that the subject of those observation gave a damn. Except for his lover, Cao Lei cared for no one, nor was he the kind of person who wished to be liked.

Besides, Qin Hao's worship of Xiao San was not without its reasons. Since young, his brother had always told him to respect the military as it was good and wise, but being a soldier, his big brother would sometimes be away for years at a time, on some secret mission to kill some drug lords. In spite of braving thousand of kilometers of danger just to kill one man, he would often end up without any official recognition.
