Chapter 165: Mutual Property (3)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Yi Jie: Thank you so much, The Gala crew! Thank you to all my fan, and of course a big thank you to Mr. He Bai, you guys made this happen, you guys gave me the chance to stand and perform on the most dazzling stage, I’m grateful for that, sending love.

An official post, yet quite informative: first of all, she made the cut and stood out from the Four Beauty; secondly, this stage is surely in her back packet now; last but not least, He Bai’s contributions to this cannot go unnoticed.

Netizens came to an conclusion that He Bai shot a collection of photos for Yi Jie based on the news that the Gala crew asked the Four Beauty to present photos or videos of themselves! That collection of photos helped Yi Jie, the most unnoticeable girl the least followed girl among the four, stood out and made the cut to The Gala.

The news was heatedly discussed on the internet, fans of Four Beauty commented like crazy under Yi Jie and the director crew’s posts, asking “what wis going on.” “Why it’s already been made official that it was Yi Jie who made the cut, they have just presented the videos and photos?” “Shady deals going on?”

Seeing his Weibo account flooded with comments and private messages, He Bai frowned and logged out. He called Yi Jie, he was surprised as well, it was just two days ago they presented their finished video and photos, how surprisingly efficient that was!

“You made it, yeah? Or it’s a prank?” He Bai was bluntly straightforward.

A chuckle was heard, then she replied, “Yes, I made the cut, you made a right decision on not retouching the photos, the director said the stage of The Gala belonged to us all, they wanted a beauty who was natural and approachable. He also said he had seen a side of me that he had never seen before, he was satisfied to see how i presented me in the photos, and he’d like to see me carry that momentum and shine on the stage of The Gala.”

Hearing what Yi Jie said, He Bai was rest assured more, and replying with a smile, “Congratulations, actually I have a collection of retouched version, thinking we may try our luck again if the first version doesn’t work out well, thank God we don’t need to use the second version.”

“Thank you.” Yi Jie now was chuckling more, then she took a deep breath, said with a light-hearted tone, “He Bai, wait and see a different side of mine on the stage of The Gala.”

He Bai found her tone so contagious, he also replied with a big smile, “Great, I’ll watch you on the TV and say a prayer for you.”

A figure loomed up out of nowhere, He Bai raised his head, only to see Di Qiuhe standing right in front of him holding a kettle, showing a look like he’s caught He Bai cheating on the action.

He Bai rolled his eyes, and hanged up after some casual exchanges with Yi Jie, then he reached out to Di Qiuhe, “Come here, I need a hug.”

Di Qiuhe repressed all the jealousy riling up in his heart, showing a poker face, and put the kettle on the table, hugged him and gave him a kiss on the forehead, “as I’ve told you before, don’t you play all cute on me now, you’d better behave yourself, Mr. Charm.”

“Look who is jealous now, that was my work contact.” He Bai kissed back, patted him on the back, signaled him to sit on the sofa next to himself and diverted the topic, “Any updates about your work? Any new movies coming up...?” If things went on like last life, it was about time that Di Qiuhe got the scripts of <Immortal Way> and the invitation of playing the leading role. If things went derailed, he had to come up with some strategies to help Di Qiuhe to secure the role.

Di Qiuhe sat on the sofa sheepishly, and snuggled He Bai, patted him on the head and replied, “Yeah, I got an invitation from a fantasy drama crew as a leading role, the one Elder Jia told me. They have been working on the preparations and setting up for this drama for over a year now, they will start shooting after New Year, perfecting timing because I would finish <Cheng’s Army> by then.”

He Bai was a bit stoked, “What’s the title of the fantasy drama, who is the director?”

“Directed by Mr. Lin Mo, a student of Elder Jia, the title is <Immortal Way>, I’ll be the male lead.” and he continued while playing with He Bai’s hair, “Therefore, I cannot spent much time with you as I wish, can you please stay with me at home?”

Hmm, someone had come up with a different approach convincing him to live off campus.

Way to go! Di Qiuhe!

He Bai gave him a sideways stare, Di Qiuhe looked at him with puppy eyes.

It was now December already, only a few weeks before the winter holiday, the review was that hectic, plus he needed to shoot the posters for the crew in winter holiday anyways, it seemed noting improper to stay at Di Qiuhe’s house.

“Okay, I can move in...” He Bai compromised, and looked down at Di Qiuhe’s lower abdomen, “remove your dirty minds.”

Hearing that, Di Qiuhe’s raising lips suddenly stiffened, then he collected his thoughts, threw himself at He Bai and showered him with kisses, “Sure, you are the boss.” The top priority here was to convince He Bai to move in, the rest could wait.

Now that he decided to move in to Di Qiuhe’s, He Bai told his roommates bout his decision, and took a break from his work, so he could better organize the stuff around house.

A week later, He Bai went back to Fan House with Di Qiuhe, and had dinner with grandpa.

Grandpa was so quiet after he recovered, he seemed to be hiding a lot of emotions in his eyes, it was hard to see through him. He was so gentle with He Bai, he asked He Bai some basic questions over dinner, and he was dumbfounded for a second knowing He Bai’s parents had passed away then he looked at He Bai with more gentleness.

They stayed at Fan House for a while after dinner, they asked to leave around dawn, and they walked home, passing through the park.

“Your grandpa loves you so much.” said He Bai, thinking about how grandpa looked at Di Qiuhe when they asked to leave, then he sighed, “try spend more time with him, he’s getting old now, he is after all very lonely even though Uncle Hu keeps him company.”

“Lonely? He abandoned my mom when she was a little girl, ha it occurred to him that mu mom would feel lonely without father’s company?” Di Qiuhe told He Bai his honest opinion straight away, then he made a comprise with himself, he held He Bai’s hands, “Don’t worry, grandpa is just going through a rough patch, unlike those elders who spend all day looking for someone to talk to, he is a very busy man. I promise I’ll spend more time with him, give him more company when we are done with our house and you moved back to campus for exams.”
