Chapter 70: Why does the Bird Go Missing? (3)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Di Qiuhe followed He Bai obediently and broke into a smile. His eyes were fixated at the man beside him, and his heart palpitated with indescribable excitement. Cared about by his beloved, He Bai became extraordinarily well-behaved and nodded shyly, “Okay. It’s up to you.”

“Your tone of voice sounds a little strange”. He Bai looked back at him suspiciously and stopped, letting go of his hand. Then he gestured a public restroom and said, “Over there. Tell me what you would like so that I can order a restaurant.”

“Order whatever you like.” Di Qiuhe was as good as gold and wore a smile all the time. He also warned, “I’ll finish soon. Don’t run around.”

“I’m not a kid, and I won’t run around.” He Bai frowned and felt that there was something odd about Di Qiuhe’s words, which put He Bai on his guard. He looked at Di Qiuhe on full alert and asked, “It strikes me that the note in your apology video… So you give up the brotherhood play now and start to act father-and-son one? Let’s not mince words: I want neither a son as old as you nor a father at my age.”

Di Qiuhe was stupefied, and his heartbeat was restored to normal rate. Since he realized he was sweet on He Bai, Di Qiuhe had been restraining himself from giving it away. But at the moment, the idea cropped up again. He sounded He Bai out in a joking way, “What if I want to put on a husband-and-wife play?”

He Bai’s expression changed greatly. He stepped back, looked Di Qiuhe up and down with a frown, and fixed his eyes on the lower half of Di’s body, replying in a low tone, “Sure, but you may lose your ‘bird’.”

Di Qiuhe, A Bird Born in Autumn, noticed He Bai’s sight, which made his heart leap once more. Feeling a physiological reaction took place on his penis, Di Qiuhe leaned sideways hurriedly and asked without thinking, “What do you mean? Why may I lose my bird?”

“It’s gone.” He Bai sighed.

“Why?” Di Qiuhe put his coat straight.

He Bai shifted his gaze to Di Qiuhe’s face and gave a gentle smile, “Now that you want to be my wife, how could you continue to have your ‘bird’?”

“Perhaps you can start by going to women’s restroom and adapt to your new identity little by little?” He Bai smiled broadly.

Di Qiuhe’s penis cooled down, so did his happiness and bashfulness about seeing He Bai.

“Dear Little Puppy,” Di Qiuhe turned his head and stared at He Bai, teasing him in a husky voice, “Perhaps you would rather have an escape in the amusement park?”

“…”

“Or,” Di Qiuhe looked around and smiled gently, with his eyes narrowed, “you want to hit the headlines: ‘A popular gay photographer kissed has-been star Di Qiuhe in the amusement park’?

He Bai’s smile faded, and there occurred a blank expression on his face. He took out the mobile phone, “It seems that someone only deserves to be blacklisted.”

“…”

“And there’s no need to dine. I might as well go back to school to have a rest.”

Di Qiuhe took a step forward in alarm to hold He Bai’s hand and looked at him genuinely, mouthing something “It’s quite arduous to woo you, but I only have myself to blame.” Then he said to He Bai sincerely, “Little Puppy, my profound apologies for that. Let’s go out to lunch—my treat.”

He Bai replied politely, “If you insist…”

“And dinner—my treat.”

He Bai signed, “The days fly. Autumn is around the corner…”

“I treat you to hairy crabs!”

He Bai stopped, patted him on the shoulder and said with affection, “Go pee, in case you get something wrong with your cock.”

“… Thanks for your warning.” Di Qiuhe raised his hand to pinch He Bai’s cheek, and turned around, a smile reappearing on his face. He stepped into the public toilet in a hurry and couldn’t help but bow his head, brace his fist against the lips and burst into laughter when thinking of He Bai’s aggressive manner. Overwhelmed with satisfaction and delight, Di Qiuhe felt his tiredness of the journey vanished without a trace.

Eventually, they didn’t have hairy crabs for there were no restaurant had crabs available near the amusement park.

He Bai chose a restaurant at random and ordered an easily digested wheaten food for Di Qiuhe as well as a dessert for himself. While they were having the meal, He Bai asked Di Qiuhe about his work on the border.

“Yang Wentian plays the secondary lead?” He Bai was somewhat surprised at the news. Seeing Di Qiuhe cast a constant glance at his lips, He Bai rolled his eyes at the guy, forked a blueberry on the cake into Di’s plate and said, “Don’t look at me. Focus on your noodles. I’ll order you another if you would like blueberries.”

Di Qiuhe took his eyes off He Bai, forked the blueberry into his mouth and pointed to his own lips, smiling and saying, “There is cream on the corner of your mouth.” So lovely that Di Qiuhe wanted to kiss on.

He Bai wiped his lips with a napkin, finding that there was indeed cream. He gave an embarrassing cough and changed the topic, “Then who was casted in the female lead? Judging from what you said, Director Jiang chose actors based on their ability instead of popularity, so the main female character shouldn’t be any of those actresses popular among people, should she?”

“No, she shouldn’t. The female lead is a new talent.” Di Qiuhe reached out his hand to fork a blueberry from He Bai’s plate and smilingly enjoyed it when He Bai looked at him as if he were a robber. Then he forked a piece of shrimp meat from his own plate into He Bai’s dish and continued, “Uncle Jiang originally had two scripts at hand, and he planned to give up the first one and shoot the other if there were no actors suited to its roles. The newcomer was casted in the female lead of the second play. Now Uncle Jiang shoots the first play and lays the second one aside. Given that this play contains few of her scenes, Uncle Jiang made her the female lead.”

A newcomer who was casted in the female lead of the second play directed by Jiang Guanshan? Something occurred to He Bai. He asked, “What’s her name? Why Director Jiang singled her out?”

“Her name is Dong Ni, and she hasn’t graduated yet. It was a student of the director who introduced her to Jiang Guanshan.” answered Di Qiuhe. Seeing He Bai seemed to be attracted to the actress, Di Qiuhe got jealous and added, “As far as I know, there’s someone who pulls strings for her. She is said to be the mistress of a big shot. Although Director Jiang appreciates her ability, he actually doesn’t like her.”

Dong Ni?! As He Bai recalled, the infamous actress hyped her love details with Di Qiuhe for months, and it was finally confirmed that she was a big shot’s mistress and Di Qiuhe was used as a pretext.

He Bai’s expression suddenly changed. Handsome as he was, Di Qiuhe tended to behave like Goofy. He Bai took pity on the guy from the bottom of his heart and said, “Qiuhe… you… you’d better keep away from Dong Ni, in case you two are hyped as a couple.”
