One Useless Rebirth

Di Qiuhe went back to his room after seeing Wang Boyi, what met his eyes was He Bai who was sound asleep a minute ago now was struggling to get up and groping for something at the bedhead when he pushed the door open.

“Looking for water?” Di Qiuhe poured some warm water for He Bai and gave him the cup, then he groomed his pajama to make sure he stayed warm, after He Bai gulped down the water he tucked He Bai back in the blankets and coaxed him, “Go back to sleep, you will feel a lot better tomorrow after a good night’s sleep.”

“I’ve been sleeping all day, I’m not sleepy at all now.” He Bai totally woke up after the warm water, he pinched Di Qiuhe’s cheeks and asked, “How was the shooting today? Are you feeling tired? Sorry for making you take care of me after you worked hard all day, if I knew I would get sick I wish I had came to the set later.”

Di Qiuhe was more than willing to be at the mercy of He Bai’s pinching, he kissed He Bai on his palm, “I feel so grateful that you came to the set, just imagine you are still in the dormitory all by yourself, who is gonna take care of you, my silly silly puppy?”

“Silly Qiuhe, you are the silly one, I will go to the doctor’s if I’m by myself in the dormitory.” He Bai pretended to glare at him then he couldn’t help laughing and give him a kiss on the lips, “Look at my Childish Di, all mature and considerate now.”

Di Qiuhe loved it when He Bai showed his intimate side, he kissed He Bai back with a big smile and cuddled him to sleep while they talked randomly.

Turned out a good night’s sleep would do the body good, He Bai felt so much better the next morning, he went to the set with Di Qiuhe, and that marked his first day of joining the set.

The drama of Qin family was still in full swing, Qin Yunze escaped after he found out his father would surely be imprisoned for a long time and no way they would get their business back, he left his grandfather a note saying he would go overseas to reunite with his mother and sister, do not consider him as a Qin family member any more.

Qin Mingqiang could not take the blows that hit him in quick succession, his son was thrown into jail, his grandson abandoned him, his granddaughter harbored nothing but hatred against him, he suddenly had a stroke. After several days in hospital, he survived it yet he couldn’t walk for the rest of his life.

He could not start any drama, therefore, Qin Li took the lead in harassing Di Bian, she asked for a remarriage with him and a subsidiary company under Huangdu.

Of course Di Bian would not agree, he knew it very well at the moment Qin Li had no support from anywhere, anyone, he drove Qin Li out of Di House using Di Xiasong’s future as a threat. Qin Li had to compromise and moved out to an isolated apartment.

Half a month had passed, on the second day of Di Qiuhe’s film <Cheng’s Army> finished, Di Bian suddenly announced he was going to marry Jin Qunya, the president of Minghe Corporation.

Seeing this news pop out on Weibo, He Bai was dumbfounded, and he asked Di Qiuhe, “Hasn’t this Di Bian just called you yesterday saying he is sorry both to your mother and you, he will try his best to make up what he had done in the past and train you to become the president of Huangdu? Why am I seeing this news that he is going to marry Jin Qunya, the president of Minghe Corporation? Who is Jin Qunya and what does her company do?”

“Jin Qunya is a famous actress of last generation, she quit show business right after she made it though, because she became a mistress of a wealthy businessman, and she finally married him not long after. She lived overseas after she got married, so we don’t know much about her and the media doesn’t have much coverage for her.”

Di Qiuhe walked towards He Bai while explained the situation, then he placed a bun into He Bai’s palm, full of expectation, “Please have a taste, this is custard bun, your favorite.”

He Bai lowered his eyes, staring at the bun, and asked “Qiuhe, have you tasted the bun yourself?”

With a squint, Di Qiuhe replied, “Why? You don’t trust my cooking?”

Well, let’s just put it this way, Di Qiuhe did not have the best track record on cooking.

Di Qiuhe felt a little bit self-conscious, he suddenly caught hold of He Bai’s palm and bit the bun.

He Bai gave him a thumb up, “Good job this time, let’s pack some for grandpa, your buns are at least edible this time.”

“Yay, I’m getting your approval.” Di Qiuhe walked to the kitchen and was ready to pack some for Fan Da and Hu Zhao.

He Bai smiled seeing Di Qiuhe’s receding figure, then he kept reading the news on Weibo.

Soon he found a post about the background of Jin Qunya.

Jin Qunya’s wealthy businessman husband found himself a new woman and abandoned her several years ago, yet Jin Qunya was very strategic on the divorcing process, she got a fat chunk of assets and returned home from abroad. Soon she established an entertainment company, scouting new stars here and there, leading a happier life than before.

To everyone’s surprise, such a competent woman should marry Di Bian.

The reason why Jin Qunya made this decision was beyond He Bai.

New year was just around the corner, and Li Ru booked He Bai a new job which was a cover shooting with C Magazine.

“C Magazine would like to establish a long-term relationship with you,” Li Ru sounded excited over the phone, “Trust me, it is such a great platform and a wonderful opportunity for you to learn and network, I sure suggest you taking their offer. And also A Magazine also invited you to shoot a cover for their March issue.”

“Then take them both.” He Bai was delighted too, “Now we’ve booked two out of the four big magazines, when the other two would invite us, that would be great.”

Li Ru laughed, “Yes boss, then I’m replying them now, let’s keep them fat checks coming for this new year.”

They hung up after exchanging several bantering, Di Qiuhe suddenly leaned towards him and looked clouded, He Bai raised his eyebrows, “Why the long face? I’m now only working very selective jobs, plus, aren’t you tired of seeing me wandering around at home every day in your face?”

“I can never get enough of you.” Di Qiuhe cuddled him and gave him a gentle bite on the earlobe, “It’s getting so cold, you don’t need to go out and work those cover shooting, isn’t it nice to just snuggle at home and celebrate new year with me?”

“I miss the cold wind outside after spending so much time in the room under the heater.” He Bai replied and he continued, “Cover shooting is not that time consuming, it normally takes a day, and that’s it, why are you over thinking about it, you Childish Di.”

Di Qiuhe gave a bite on He Bai’s finger and looked at him directly in the eye, “Yes, I’m your Childish Di.”

He Bai suddenly blushed by Di Qiuhe’s stare, he rubbed Di Qiuhe’s face and said, “Stop seducing me, it’s not working.”

“Are you sure it’s not working, your face says otherwise.” Di Qiuhe gave He Bai a meaningful smile and kissed him passionately.
