Addicted Heroin Episode 13 Recap
> Addicted Heroin Recap
Concerned about their finances, Gu Hai was relieved when Bai Luoyin, with his sharp mind, quickly devised a clever plan to earn money. Their scheme involved playing mahjong with two wealthy friends. With Gu Hai's assistance, Bai Luoyin consistently won, frustrating his opponents who complained about his repeated "peng" and "gang" moves. After winning several times in a row, the friends were baffled and suspected cheating.
However, Gu Hai explained that Bai Luoyin didn't need to cheat because he possessed an incredible memory, able to recall all the tiles on the table, including those discarded by others. Despite Bai Luoyin humbly attributing his wins to luck, his friends were convinced of his "photographic memory" and swore off playing with him again. Thanks to Bai Luoyin's exceptional skill, they easily earned a substantial sum, counting twelve thousand yuan back home.
Thrilled by their success, Gu Hai playfully called Bai Luoyin "my good wife," which earned him a lighthearted threat of castration from Bai Luoyin. For days, Yang Meng had been relentlessly bothered by You Qi. He finally sought refuge by clinging to Bai Luoyin's back, refusing to let go until Bai Luoyin promised to help. Yang Meng explained that You Qi constantly found opportunities to pester him, not with physical violence, but by verbally berating him, leaving him overwhelmed.
He claimed You Qi would even follow him during school breaks and stare at him unkindly. During a break, while Yang Meng was having an ice cream, Gu Hai asked for a taste of Bai Luoyin’s. Instead, Bai Luoyin gave his entire ice cream to Yang Meng.
Gu Hai became visibly jealous, pointing out that Yang Meng was eating from the part with Bai Luoyin's saliva and questioning why he was allowed to have it, leading to a brief, tense exchange. Later, when Bai Luoyin confronted You Qi, he vehemently denied harassing Yang Meng, calling him paranoid and claiming he hadn't even spoken to him recently. Despite You Qi's denial, Yang Meng remained fearful, insisting that he be allowed to walk home with Bai Luoyin.
He reminded Bai Luoyin of their long-standing friendship since kindergarten and his recent loneliness, and Bai Luoyin reluctantly agreed, while a visibly upset Gu Hai watched them leave. Upon returning home after walking Yang Meng, Bai Luoyin found Gu Hai waiting outside the door and initially ignored him. Bai Luoyin's father, noticing Gu Hai's presence, immediately called Bai Luoyin out, scolding him for leaving Gu Hai outside.
He praised Gu Hai as a "good boy" and chastised Bai Luoyin for his stubbornness. Bai Luoyin defended himself, stating he had asked Gu Hai to come in, but Gu Hai refused. His father, however, believed Bai Luoyin must have upset him and insisted he bring Gu Hai inside. Meanwhile, Gu Hai maintained a polite front, telling Bai Luoyin's father not to worry and that it was cool outside.
After much persistence from his father, Bai Luoyin finally gave in and invited him in, at which point Gu Hai immediately entered the house and clung to him. Later, Bai Luoyin injured his foot. Gu Hai noticed his cold hands and then the injury, asking what happened. Bai Luoyin jokingly blamed Gu Hai for kicking him. Feeling guilty, Gu Hai wanted to kiss the injury, but Bai Luoyin dismissed it as a minor scrape.
The moment turned serious as Gu Hai apologized for his earlier jealousy toward Yang Meng, admitting he found it hard to control his emotions and felt "extremely insecure." He stated that if Bai Luoyin could provide a clear answer about their relationship, he wouldn't act out. Bai Luoyin countered, questioning what more security Gu Hai needed when he was already living there for free.
He warned that if Gu Hai was seeking security through physical intimacy, he would "never get it." Gu Hai quickly clarified that it wasn't about sex, asserting he was a "normal man" who could find a girl if that were his only motivation. He confessed he liked Bai Luoyin "too much" and saw him as "the purest boy," making him reluctant to cross that line. Bai Luoyin maintained his boundary, stating, "Both of us are male.
I can only go this far with you." Pushing for an emotional commitment, Gu Hai repeatedly asked if Bai Luoyin liked him. Bai Luoyin, while not saying it directly, confirmed his feelings by asking, "You know it. Why bother to ask?" Sometime later, Yang Meng arrived and found them in the same room. He playfully questioned if they were living together, noting Bai Luoyin's previous aversion to sharing a room.
Bai Luoyin explained that Gu Hai was his new stepbrother, as his mother had married Gu Hai's father. He clarified that they lived together because both were at odds with their respective parents. As the weather grew colder, Gu Hai and Bai Luoyin took their dog, Alang, for a walk by the river. There, they observed Bai Luoyin's father and an auntie, Zou Shen, standing together on the rocky beach, looking like a couple.
Gu Hai, with a knowing look, suggested they should get married. He pointed out that if they did, Bai Luoyin would become the third wheel, which would allow Gu Hai and Bai Luoyin to move back into their own small house together. Having already come to terms with his mother's remarriage, Bai Luoyin approached his father and urged him to marry Zou Shen.
His father initially hesitated, feeling it was unfair to Bai Luoyin after the "dozen years of hard life" they had shared. However, Bai Luoyin reassured him there was nothing to feel bad about, acknowledging his father's sacrifices and asserting that it was "time for you to start a new life."
When his father declared, "You're the one I love most in my life," Bai Luoyin playfully responded that he wanted his father to marry so he could finally "get my freedom." With Bai Luoyin's blessing, his father and Zou Shen held a lively wedding ceremony. The Bai family home was filled with guests and banquet tables.
During the celebration, a child named Tongtian, presumably Zou Shen's son, was encouraged to call the newly married father "dad" in exchange for red packets. Bai Luoyin felt a deep sense of contentment, seeing his father, who had worked tirelessly for most of his life, finally find his own happiness.
