Chapter 290: Side Story Seven (2)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Di Qiuhe woke He Bai up next morning, both were sore all over, and together they went to the police station.

“Here are the results.” the officer presented Di Qiuhe and He Bai the reports, “Things are looking bad. There are residues of some prohibited drugs in the juice, as for the porridge, there are some herbs in it, the herbs themselves are fine, but Mr. Di is taking meds yeah, and we checked the meds, the meds and the herbs together will incur coma. We checked the CCTV footage from the restaurant you both wen to, and we are sure you two got each other’s drink. So Mr. He basically has saved your life, Mr. Di. And one more question, Mr. Di, you bought the drink by yourself at the restaurant or is it your assistant who has bought it for you?”

Di Qiuhe recalled what happened yesterday, he tapped his knees and replied, “My assistant An Xixi bought if for me, good Vitamin C.”

Hearing that, Wang Boyi who was standing next to Di Qiuhe looked so crestfallen, his shouldered drooped.

He Bai frowned, he thought through the whole thing, it looked like Qin Li and Di Chunhua were determined to have An Xixi to be the scapegoat, An Xixi was the suspect for both the poisoning. But according to An Xixi’s reaction last night, she seemed to have no idea about the juice.

Could it be Di Chunhua poisoned the juice and she asked An Xixi to give the juice to Di Qiuhe, and she asked An Xixi to poison the porridge, thus it became dual fail-safe.

The police officer’s face darkened, he said, “I need to talk to this Assistant An.”

“Yeah, she will be here in a minute.” replied Di Qiuhe, he looked so calm then he signaled He Bai to leave with him.

Di Qiuhe took He Bai to a restaurant after they walked out of the police station. And he just stared at He Bai without saying anything.

“Why are you staring me like that?” faltered He Bai, he was not used to the way a mature version of Di Qiuhe looked at him in this life.

“Your name is He Bai?”

He Bai nodded, he didn’t know why Di Qiuhe asked him this question, he was pretty sure he had introduced himself loud and clear the day before, and he had introduced himself to the police officer when Di Qiuhe was standing right next to him.

“Who is Childish Di?” Di Qiuhe’s voice got deeper.

“Par... pardon?” asked He Bai.

“Childish Di.” repeated Di Qiuhe gently.

He Bai sprang to his feet and stared at Di Qiuhe, “Aiya Qiuhe, what’s going on? Am I dreaming? What’s going on?”

Di Qiuhe just looked at him with affection rippled in his eyes.

“Qiuhe...” He Bai felt so happy seeing the familiar look, he threw himself at Di Qiuhe, but soon he found this Di Qiuhe’s body got stiff. He Bai rolled his eyes and let go of Di Qiuhe, he whispered at Di Qiuhe’s ears, “call me, Qiuhe.”

Di Qiuhe didn’t sense anything wrong, he whispered He Bai’s name, trying to get more information out of He Bai.

“No, this is not the way you normally call me.” He Bai shook his head and looked defeated.

Di Qiuhe kept acting, he concealed the panic when He Bai pointed out this was not how he usually called him, he stroked He Bai’s hair and said half-jokingly, “I’m just kidding, how do I call you? Do I call you by your nickname?”

“No,” retorted He Bai, he reached out his hands and hugged Di Qiuhe, “You always call me... daddy!”

Di Qiuhe got more stiff.

He Bai was beaming, his hands were travelling up and down on Di Qiuhe, “Good boy Qiuhe, daddy loves you.”

Di Qiuhe who had been single for over thirty years in this life couldn’t take the way He Bai messed with him, he pushed He Bai away.

He Bai took a seat on the chair and cracked a cold smile, “I talked in my dream, right?” he couldn’t think any other explanation why Di Qiuhe would ask who Childish Di was.

This man standing in front him didn’t trust him one hundred percent, so he was being tested by the question. He Bai’s heart was breaking, the man who he married in another life didn’t trust him and he was testing him by asking questions. He didn’t know why God would do this to him, making him travel across different lives.

How he wished this was a dream! He wished when he opened his eyes the next second, Di Qiuhe would ask him with concern, “Puppy, are you all right? You have been sleeping for so long!”

Di Qiuhe also noticed He Bai’s feelings from his eyes, He Bai now looked both angry and sad. He felt sorry and soon quit testing He Bai, the waitress knocked on the door when he was about to explain.

Di Qiuhe found all the dishes were his favorite, how could this He Bai man knew his preference so well?

He Bai looked at the dishes and said deliberately, “Hey Mr. Di, I don’t know your preference, feel free to order whatever you like.”

“No... I like them.” Di Qiuhe answered with a fawning smile on the face, he didn’t mean to hurt He Bai’s feelings, and he went on gently, “There are all my favorites, what are the odds that you and I like exactly the same dishes.”

He Bai lowered his head and kept silent.

Di Qiuhe took a few bites of the dishes, but he wasn’t enjoying the food at all with so much going on in his mind. Thinking about their last night, Di Qiuhe apologized in an earnest way, “I’m sorry for testing you, thank you so much for saving my life. Yeah I heard ‘Childish Di’ when you were talking in your sleep last night, and you called me with such affection, so I got curious and tested you. Do you know someone else who is also named Qiuhe?”

“Do you know someone else who is also named Qiuhe?” He Bai halted hearing this question, he raised his head and looked at this Di Qiuhe.

Same features, same voice, same characteristics. Di Qiuhe seemed to like He Bai a lot considering the way he treated He Bai, he told off his bodyguards last night and suspected An Xixi after what He Bai had said to him.

Wait, He Bai found something abnormal.
