Addicted Heroin Episode 12 Recap
> Addicted Heroin Recap
Gu Hai continued his acts of kindness from the previous episode, providing an elderly woman with therapeutic equipment for her cervical and lumbar spine, highlighting its suitability for seniors, and also gifting her a device for cerebral thrombosis. He offered to connect a man with an affordable contractor for bathroom renovations and gave a learning machine to a woman for her son. He arranged for regular medicine deliveries for the elderly woman, alleviating her need to queue at the hospital.
He considered these actions as part of his duty. Bai Luoyin discussed the upcoming physical examination with the deputy monitor, noting that twenty male students would be examined together, requiring them to undress completely. Aware of Gu Hai’s intense attention, Bai Luoyin specifically requested to avoid being in the same examination group as Gu Hai, even though the deputy monitor had intentionally placed them together due to their close relationship.
During the physical exam, Bai Luoyin was scrutinized by Gu Hai. Afterwards, Bai Luoyin was informed by a staff member that his physical examination results were positive for HBV, indicating hepatic dysfunction and a primary suspicion of Hepatitis B. Bai Luoyin was shocked, mentioning a past clean bill of health and vaccinations. The staff member clarified that the vaccine was not always effective and that two other classmates had similar results.
He advised Bai Luoyin to seek a follow-up check at the hospital for early treatment and recovery, assuring him the information would remain confidential. Bai Luoyin was upset and lingered outside, where Gu Hai teased him about his distress over being watched during the exam. Bai Luoyin was distant and unwilling to go home. Back at their place, Gu Hai presented freshly made dumplings, encouraging Bai Luoyin to eat. Bai Luoyin hesitantly told him about the Hepatitis B diagnosis.
Dismissing it as unreliable information from the deputy monitor, Gu Hai insisted on sharing the same chopsticks and bowl, challenging Bai Luoyin to "infect" him, saying he would "catch the disease" with him. He scoffed at Bai Luoyin’s caution, convinced the diagnosis was wrong and calling Bai Luoyin an "idiot" for believing it. He suggested they visit a hospital on Saturday, assuring Bai Luoyin he would be fine.
Despite Gu Hai's reassurance, Bai Luoyin asked Gu Hai to keep his distance, just in case. One evening, after showering, Bai Luoyin asked Gu Hai for pajamas. Captivated by Bai Luoyin's appearance, Gu Hai jokingly accused Bai Luoyin of intentionally seducing him by being slow to change. Gu Hai then unexpectedly entered Bai Luoyin’s room, stating his intention to sleep there despite other available bedrooms.
Still worried about the supposed HBV, Bai Luoyin warned Gu Hai against close contact, mentioning sweat as a potential transmission route. Gu Hai deliberately questioned other methods of transmission, including saliva and even sexual contact, before forcing himself on Bai Luoyin despite his protests. Afterwards, Gu Hai asked Bai Luoyin if he felt good, before softening his tone and vowing to "take good care" of him and compensate for the emotional neglect he might have experienced over the years.
Later, the deputy monitor approached Bai Luoyin to clarify the physical examination results from the previous day. He explained that only one of Bai Luoyin's five test indicators was positive, which indicated the presence of antibodies, not active Hepatitis B. In fact, only Bai Luoyin and two other students had these antibodies, while the rest of the class needed booster shots.
Overhearing the corrected diagnosis, Gu Hai jokingly lamented to the deputy monitor that he had "ruined his plan," as he had hoped Bai Luoyin's supposed illness would lead Bai Luoyin to "fall in love" with him sooner. As their relationship deepened, Gu Hai consistently sought Bai Luoyin's company. He invited Bai Luoyin to his home in Tianjin to meet his mother, who was eager to see him.
Bai Luoyin politely declined, offering to buy a gift for her and promising to visit when he had the chance. Gu Hai also asked Bai Luoyin to accompany him to shop for furniture for his new house, valuing Bai Luoyin's taste. Their life together started to face financial challenges. After proudly telling his father that he would not ask for money again, Gu Hai found himself short on cash.
He had spent all his savings on house renovations and daily expenses, and found it difficult to cope without income. Bai Luoyin suggested Gu Hai stay at his house, pointing out that Gu Hai had already been freeloading for nearly two months. Bai Luoyin also reminded Gu Hai that he had helped Bai Luoyin's father find a job, so his father would be more than happy to support Gu Hai for years.
Gu Hai, though, expressed discomfort with the idea of living entirely off Bai Luoyin's family and having no money for personal outings. Bai Luoyin then proposed an idea for them to earn money quickly. During the physical examination, Gu Hai took the opportunity to stare at Bai Luoyin's body.
