Chapter 214 - I’m His Assistant (2)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
Di Qiuhe was blown way, he thought this was He Bai’s prank, little did he expect he would be seeing such beautiful scenery.
“There is a hill between this flower sea and the town, therefore people in the town couldn’t see these flowers from the town, but when we stand here and seeing from afar, we will have this illusion that the town was right next to the flower sea.” He Bai was standing right next to Di Qiuhe, he stretched himself comfortably, “Early spring is the best season to enjoy the scenery, the leaves are sprouting, the flowers are blooming, it’s like an oil painting under the sunlight.”
Di Qiuhe came back to his senses now, he was curious why He Bai knew this place so well, but he did not ask him, he just smiled and replied, “It’s breath-taking now.”
“I wanna show you something more breath-taking,” He Bai smiles, all of a sudden he squatted down and slid along the slope, Di Qiuhe panicked, he reached out to grab him, yet he lost his balance and slid along the slope as well.
“Look up!” He Bai pointed at the place where they slid, “It’s always foggy in the morning, see those trees? They are all shrouded in fog in the morning, looks like they are growing in the cloud, sometimes rays of morning sunlight will appear too, can you imagine how beautiful that is?”
Di Qiuhe looked the way He Bai was pointing at, he couldn’t help but smile, “Yeah I bet it’s stunning.”

“I’ll take you here next spring!” He Bai was now in high spirits, he was busy looking for the best spots to take pictures, it was such a hidden gem, “This place has different charms in every season, the locals find this slope dangerous so they rarely come to this place, such a shame though.”
Di Qiuhe only found his puppy who was crawling on the floor for photos had got more charm than this view, he asked cheerfully, “How about we visit this place every year, each year we pick a different season?”
“Great.” He Bai was only too glad to hear that.
Click.
Di Qiuhe took a snap of his puppy with Polaroid, he smiled on seeing the photo, then he put the photo into his pocket.
He Bai took Di Qiuhe to his “secret base” on an impulse to avoid the fans, but he just got so carried away now, taking pictures here and there, he didn’t realize it until sunset, then he went downhill with Di Qiuhe who kept him company the whole day.
It was already late when they arrived the foot of the hill, considering there were so many fans waiting for them near the hotel, the two decided to check in a hotel in the town and go get changed the next morning before they went to the awards ceremony.
It took the judges a month to rank the top ten, on this ceremony they would announce and award the top three.
He Bai found his seat under the instructions on his invitation, the committee arranged the seats based on nationalities and schools instead of the categories, hence he found he was sitting next to Yan Yuan, the curator’s daughter.
“Hi, how are you?” He Bai greeted Yan Yuan politely, of course he was not going to blame Yan Yuan for what her father had done. He then looked back at Di Qiuhe who was sitting in guest area.
Yan Yuan did not think He Bai would greet her, she looked like she had something to say, she bit her lips and said, “Hi, He Bai, I’m... I’m so sorry for what my father has done to you.”
He Bai was browsing the photo album on his seat, he halted and looked at her on hearing her.
“I’m deeply, deeply sorry.” Yan Yuan was so nervous that she touched her hair, and whispered, “I know it’s all pointless now after what my father has done, but... but I heard something last night, and I think you’d better check out from the hotel tonight, you still have a three-day art exchanging activity, I’m worried... and I heard you are here with Di Qiuhe... ...”
He Bai was totally lost, but he could tell how sincere and genuine Yan Yuan was from her eyes, he let down his guard, and replied gently, “Yan Yuan, don’t get so nervous, what do you want to tell me?”
Seeing how gentle He Bai was, Yan Yuan now was feeling better, she started to think more logically, “Here is the thing, I knew you arrived the day before yesterday, I wanted to say sorry to you in person, but I don’t have your number, so I went to you hotel to wait for you in the lobby... ... please don’t get me wrong, I was not stalking you. Yesterday afternoon, an Asian girl was making a phone call in the lobby, and I happened to hear what she said, she was very loud.”
He Bai frowned and asked, “Is it related to me or Qiuhe?”
“Yes.” Yan Yuan looked at him and her voice grew lower, “I heard something about stalking, candid photo, and ruining his face... but I didn’t call the police thinking what if I’ve misheard her. Anyway, please watch out, the girl is very young, I think she may be Di Qiuhe’s hater, please watch out.”
A very young girl?
He Bai found it odd and asked, “What does she look like? How old does she look like?”
Yan Yuan recalled, “About fifteen-odd something, she’s got long hair and a high pitch voice, a pretty girl yet an angry looking face, she sounds very impatient on the phone too.”
Fifteen-odd something? Pretty but angry looking? Di Chunhua?
He Bai’s face darkened on thinking about who it might be.
