Chapter 155: Wake up

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Di Qiuhe found that since puppy initiated the questionnaire survey, he felt like he knew what it was like to be doted! Floods of text messages, frequent phone calls... Happiness! Exciting! It felt like a dream!

After another barrage of phone calls about carpet color, Di Qiuhe pressed Wang Boyi’s shoulder seriously and asked, “Assistant Wang, do you think Pup misses me? It’s just a commercial shooting. Is it necessary for him to shower me with so many questions? He definitely misses me.”

Wang Boyi endured the strength from his iron claw hand, nodded earnestly and agreed, “From my understanding of Mr. He, he must miss you since he has been asking you so many trivial questions.”

Di Qiuhe loosened his hands and smiled contentedly.

Wang Boyi took the opportunity to remind him, “Master Di, the crew will fly to Country J the day after tomorrow, and director Jiang is waiting for you to the meeting.”

The smile stagnated and disappeared. Di Qiuhe went through his mobile phone’s calendar, then his shoulder drooped.

He missed XiaoBai very much ... He was desperate to go back. For another half month, another half month ... he put away his cell phone, refreshed himself, picked up the script and headed for Jiang.

The first snow in city B finally came after several false forecast.

He Bai closed the bedroom’s door, greeted his roommates and sat down in his seat. He took off his scarf and asked, “Have you arrived Country J? How’s the weather over there?”

“It’s quite good, bit hot in here. The thick coat we prepared is completely useless.” Di Qiuhe sat in the car, took a look at the strange street outside, smiled and asked, “What are you going to ask today, is the bookcase color or table style?”

“No more questions, the materials have been collected and the assignment has handed in.” He Bai threw the scarf on the table, turned on the computer, packed the work photos fixed last week and sent them to Li Ru’s email box. He said, “Besides, I’ve already bought a house, but it’s unfurnished. It’ll not be delivered until the next year. My hope to live in my own nest this year shattered.”

Di Qiuhe frowned when he heard this, and wanted to tell him that they could share one house. However, considering of the other party’s character, he swallowed the words silently and soothed him, “It doesn’t matter. You are coming to stay in hotel with the crew during the winter vacation anyway, and I’ll take you home when the play is over at the end of the year.”

“Well, it seems that for this winter vacation, I’ll be with you? Childish Di, aren’t you overjoyed now?” He Bai asked back with a smile, clicking the design sketch of the house layout sent by the designer and sending an “OK” after confirming there was no problem.

“Yes, very.” Di Qiuhe liked his rhetorical question, admitted with a smile, and heard the faint sound of keyboard tapping over there. He asked with concern, “Have you been busy recently? It seems that every time I call you, you’re working.”

“The house costs me a fortune, and there’s decoration to be done. I have to try my best to save money.” He Bai answered, glanced at the date and asked, “How’s your grandfather?”

Di Qiuhe’s face darkened, he was distressed, and became more eager to return. However, he kept his voice soft and steady, and answered, “He’s in good recovery, and able to keep conscious for a long time the last time he called, he even asked about you.”

“For what?” He Bai inquired curiously. He saw that Li Ru had sent a new email, guessing it may be a new assignment, clicked it hurriedly.

The phone call crossed his mind, his lips raised and he replied, “Asked me if I have ever thanked you, the savior, and asked me to invite you home for dinner, saying he wants to thank you in person. So XiaoBai, when are you going to come home with me to meet grandpa?”

Sure enough, te email was job, and a lucrative job.

He Bai put away the mouse and answered with a smile, “You’re not in city B, asking such a question is sheer roguery. Have a good rest when you go back to the hotel. I have to work now and call you later.”

Another assignment?

Di Qiuhe frowned, said a few more words before hanging up, then checked the time in city B and was somewhat worried. Accepting assignment at this time ... Did the house cost an awful lot?

As the New Year drew near, the Spring Festival galas of various TV stations had entered the final preparatory period one after another. Of these, the most noticeable was the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and He Bai’s work this time was related to that.

“This year, there’s a show called Four Beauties popular online, but two beauties must be screened out due to time limit. The Four Beauties are He Fenwei from Huangdu, Yi Jie from Bai Xiu, Zhu Shuxue from Xing Yu and Qu Fang from Jing Guan. Two days ago, the director of the Gala suddenly asked them to hand in a photo or video representing their unique beauty.”

“Then Yi Jie and Zhu Shuxue both came to me?” He Bai leafed through the two invitations in the mail and asked, “Which one do you want to accept?”

Li Ru gave him a clear-cut answer, “Zhu Shuxue.”

He Bai raised his eyebrows. “Why?”

“She’s popular and narrow-minded, and we’ve already rejected her once, and by doing that one more time, we might offend her.” Li Ru gave a very sincere answer, which was a bit too blunt, “Yi Jie is different. She’s gentle and has worked with you before, and she has a good impression on you. Even if you refuse her this time, she won’t think anything bad of you.”

Very practical consideration and the most favorable choice.

He Bai nodded and answered, “I choose Yi Jie.”

Li Ru froze, “Why?”

“I don’t like Zhu Shuxue because she likes to hype love affairs.” He Bai gave a self-willed reason. He moved his finger and deleted Zhu Shuxue’s invitation directly, replied, “Either we reject both or Yi Jie. The New Year is coming. I’m going to have fun.” He would not shoot an actress who had hyped love affair with Childish Di in his last life, no way.

Li Ru was speechless then and shook her head. “You’re the boss, you call the shots. I’ll find a suitable reason to reject Zhu Shuxue. Have fun.”

He Bai answered in an apple-polished way, “Thank you, sister Li. I’ll give you some red packet money at the end of the month!”

“Such a smooth talker.”

Li Ru sighed helplessly, and then couldn’t help laughing. It was really fun to work for one’s heart instead of interests.

The photos were so urgent that He Bai contacted Yi Jie as soon as he decided to accept it and set the time after confirming the theme.

The day of shooting happened to snow.

Yi Jie, nestled in the car in a long plain dress and a down jacket. She was not worried at all and was enjoying the snow. She sighed, “I haven’t seen a heavy snow like this for a long time. How great it’s gonna be to just eat hot pot at home.”

He Bai recalled the so-called healthy breakfast she ate, which seemed tasteless, he sympathized her to some extent, looked at the outside with flashes in his mind and asked, “Yi, do you want to make a snowman?”

Yi Jie turned to look at him, blinked and smiled, “Yeah, super.”

Taking off the long skirt, removing the carefully coiling hair and heavy makeup, putting on the down jacket and fuzzy snowshoes, wearing the hat, scarf and earmuffs, He Bai and Yi Jie got on their rented bikes and rode towards the most popular old town of city B in the growl of Yi Jie’s manager.

Wandering through Hutongs, eating snacks, making snowmen, playing snowball fights, riding rickshaws, skating ... Yi Jie threw away restraints and played happily for three days in her most natural condition. He Bai accompanied her the way and took pictures meticulously.

At sunset on the third day, Yi Jie was sitting on a small slope outside the strawberry garden with a pocket of strawberries in her arms. She looked at He Bai, who had just put down his camera under the slope, smiled brightly. “He Bai, did you skip class today?”

He Bai held up his camera again, aiming the lens at her and answered, “Yeah, I did, so sister Yi, you have to give me a big red envelope.”

“Sure enough.” Yi Jie nodded and raised her hand to groom her hair. Her bright smile slowly restrained and became gentle, watching him and asking, “Do you think I can make it to the Spring Festival Gala?”

The beauty was covered by the mask. He Bai put down the camera and nodded, “Yes.”

There were lights shining from afar, it was the car coming to pick them up.

“After you.” Yi Jie held the strawberries, pulled off the scarf and put her face behind it, only a pair of gentle eyes shown. “Go back to school, I’m looking forward to our next cooperation.”

He Bai looked at her thin figure and her less glowing eyes, asked, “What about you?”

“I’ll go back after eating this strawberries.” Yi Jie replied, her eyes were curved and eyelashes blocked her real emotion. “After today, I can’t eat whatever I want anymore, so I have to stay longer.”

The car stopped behind, followed by Yi Jie’s car.

He Bai relented a bit, took another look at Yi Jie, saying no more. He nodded to her, pulled open the door and got on the car.

In the rearview mirror, Yi Jie’s agent out of the car hurriedly ran to Yi Jie, squatted in front of her and said something. Her shoulders were tight and head tilted slightly. She was being cautious.

He Bai withdrew his sight and took out his mobile phone to text Di Qiuhe.

He Bai: Qiuhe, do you enjoy your profession of an actor?

There was no reply, he sighed, put down his cell phone and leaned against the seat, fell asleep slowly.

“Pup.”

He frowned and waked up gradually.

“Pup.”

How odd, he thought he heard Di Qiuhe.

“XiaoBai, wake up.”

The voice was in his ear, and warm breath, spraying on his face.

He opened his eyes in a daze, gradually and clearly, he saw that was Di Qiuhe, the enviably handsome face. His brain blanked for a moment, then raised his hands in confusion and snapped on the face close at hand and kneaded, “This dream is so real that it’s warm ...”

After waiting for him for a day, Di Qiuhe raised his eyebrows and pulled down the hand and put it into his mouth. He took a bite and groaned angrily, “Pup, you skipped class! And, where is the perfume smell from?”
