Chapter 89: Villa Resort (2)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

“It is curled when I was sleeping!” He Bai turned his head and pulled Di’s hand away, he rolled himself over to lie on the floor like the shape of the Chinese character ‘Da’ (on the back with outstretched arms and legs), just like a starfish, sighing, “That’s a vacation called by its right name. Someone waits there to serve me, all I need to do is off my feet to eat and drink, appreciate the scenery before my eyes as well.”

Di Qiuhe smiled, he lay down next to He Bai, staring together at the wooden roof in the corridor, whispered, “Right, that’s the right way to enjoy a vacation.” He meant that, staying with He Bai without sorrow and anxiety, all he needed to do was devoted himself to please the other.

The past twenty-three years was occupied by infighting and plot, which kept him in suspense. Neither his home nor family could be called as it meant to be. Furthermore, he may forfeit everything he got in a trivial mistake.

He used to perceive that was his destined life, full of contest, conspiracy and plot...He never thought he would fall in love with someone, let alone having a family. There were only two of his future assumptions: being defeated in the infighting, and giving up to the bitter and humble life; or making a clean sweep, and leaving the life to the one who against him.

But he had Pup now. Although the infighting was going on, there was a new choice for him to let go of the old memories that were too bitter to recall. Now he’s got a new choice of a happy life to spoil and stay with Pup.

The courtyard was quiet except for the rustle of running water and wind through the leaves.

“Pup.” He called suddenly and looked sideways at the one lying beside him.

“Huh?” He Bai seemed to be particularly sleepy, narrowing his eyes for drowsiness.

“Stay with me.” Di Qiuhe replied, moving his hand to firmly grasp He Bai’s waistband of the bathrobe little by little. “Stay with me and don’t betray me. I’ll give you whatever you want, just keep true to yourself.”

The mesmerizing sound of running water, together with Di’s gentle and low voice, finally a drowsy feeling crept over He Bai. He turned over and let up on his eyes, seeming had got what Di Qiuhe just said, also seeming he didn’t hear anything. There was a vague response.

“I’ve got your promise.” Di Qiuhe turned sideways, looking at He’s peaceful sleeping face, approached to kiss He on the head, “Pup, I like you, can you like me in return?”

Owing to sleeping too much during the day, He Bai woke up at three o’clock in the morning. He then found that the well-behaved Di Qiuhe lay beside him, holding the waistband of his bathrobe, as if for fear that he might run away at night.

Failing to fall asleep again, he took out his belt gently, got up and opened the door facing the courtyard, then went out and stood in the corridor to take a deep breath of the cool night air.

He was a bit hungry.

He cast back Di calling him to get up for dinner when he was in a daze last night. But he seemed to kick Di out impatiently and turned over and fell asleep soon.

There came an ineffable sense of guilty.

Two dim-light lanterns were hanging at the gate of the courtyard, dangling in the night breeze, as pleasing as a painting.

He Bai was tempted, turned back into the room for the camera, and then strolled out of the courtyard.

The housekeeper serving them cropped up at this time, wittingly withdrew from disturbing his night trip after handing him a thermal hamper.

He Bai expressed his thanks in surprise. He then found a small pavilion to relax in, opened the hamper for food to fill up his belly. He got up after the housekeeper appeared again to take the hamper away. He then strolled around the elegant resort with camera.

He had not photographed any night scenery since his rebirth. Therefore, he was so engaged that he took no notice of stepping into the depth of the villa.

“Where is Fan Da?”

A nice but flirtatious male’s voice came across behind a rockery. He Bai halted and was about to turn-back to leave.

“I’ve got it. He’s in a sanatorium in country V, and has been a little dateless.” Said another male in a slightly hoarse voice dripping with sarcasm, seemingly despising the other one. “I’ve done whatever you asked, Di Xiasong. Please send a word to your mother, telling her to stop being bossy, otherwise, I’ll make an accomplice of Qin Mingqiang!”

He Bai paused at once and looked sideways at the other side of the rockery.

What did he just hear? Di Xiasong? The brother of Qiuhe’s? Wasn’t the guy studying abroad? Why the guy was here? Or did he get it wrong?

historical

Just when he was suspecting, the first male joked in an intimate tone, which was totally different to the last minute, “Uncle Zeng, you’re absolutely regarding me as an outsider if you say that. I know you’re somewhat displeased for my disturbance, but I have no choice. I have to rush back to country Y for my lessons tomorrow. Please forgive me.”

“Stop putting on an act. You cannot even hold a candle to your brother.” The man called Uncle Zeng snorted and sneered, “Your mother cuckolded me and left without consideration for me. Now she wants to take advantage of me, but dares not even come out in person. It really disgusts me of sending you, a little brat out here. Well, shall I perceive that you are the zygote once I put in her belly? Ah, you? Am I blind or foolish? Get out and never ever come here. I want my place clean!”

He Bai was dumbfounded, feeling it difficult to digest the mass information. He kept close to the rockery and showed up until the other’s footsteps faded away.

“Nauseous scoundrel!” The other one left from the other direction after a low curse.

He Bai heaved a sigh, tightened his camera. After making sure that they had left, he turned around and walked quickly toward the courtyard he lived, following his memory.

When he returned, the lights in the small building were on, while Di Qiuhe was walking out in a hurry in seriousness.

“Why are you getting up so early?” He Bai opened the door and greeted Di. Then he stepped up and pulled the man who stopped to look up. He pulled him into the building and expounded quickly, “You’re just in time. I have something to tell you. I just woke up and went out for a walk with my camera. You know, I happened to hear something terrific. Seriously, do you know Fan Da?”

With the arm dragged and the man he cared about right there, the frightened Di Qiuhe waking up from finding He no longer by his side gradually. However, he paused and frowned after hearing that. “Fan Da is my grandfather, and he has been missing for years. How do you...”

“Your grandfather?” He Bai was stunned, and soon realized that something was wrong. He quickened his pace to pull Di into the room. After making sure that the wall had no ears, he made a quick repeat of the conversation he had heard and asked, “Do you know Zeng Peizhong?”

Di Qiuhe shook his head, then took out his mobile phone and made several calls to his subordinates after he’s done some sober reflection, then he sized up He Bai, with an eccentric look.

He Bai, nervous as he was, strolled back secretly and queried, “What’s the problem of you?”

“Pup.” Di Qiuhe stretched forward his hand, pinching He Bai’s face gently, “Are you really a man but not some spirit who come to repay my kindness?” Everything from helping him to be the film’s leading actor, to counter shooting with the “pup” arazzi in the apartment’s elevator, to shooting Qin Li at the airport last time, and to now getting the whereabouts of his grandfather by chance. By the way, Pup’s “Dream” of the virus events in the border province had also helped him a lot...How amazing. It’s just like God awarded him a golden finger named He Bai for compensating his frustrating life.

He Bai disdained to pull down Di’s hand in a seemingly annoyed manner and sneered. “If I were some spirit, I would eat you off first but not indulge you to piss me off all the time.”

Di Qiuhe was well aware of that he was a helpless man. He thought He Bai’s every particular gesture and behavior were so cute that he couldn’t help approaching and ambiguously suggested, “Then eat, I’m wholly clean and fresh.”

Di came so close that he could see clearly every single eyelash of He Bai, who paused and got closer.

Di Qiuhe was nearly falling into temptation. He was stunned while his heart beat faster than normal, and his Adam’s apple budged when staring at the red lips close by.

“You...” He Bai suddenly stated.

Staring the seductive lips, Di Qiuhe was a little feverish, then asked in a hoarse voice, “What?”

“Gum in the eyes.”

“...”

“Is that the clean you mean?” He Bai retreated.

Di Qiuhe’s ears were flushed. He raised a hand to rub his eyes, but found nothing, then looking at He Bai at loss.

Click.

He Bai put down his camera and toppled on the tatatami in laughter.

Di Qiuhe raised his eyebrows and rushed to rub He’s waist until realizing that he had been tricked.
