Chapter 84: Fxxk... (1)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

He adjusted his facial expression time and again, whereas He Bai was not content. Thus Di Qiuhe was getting impatient, with his eyebrows furrowed unconsciously and his body stressed, and his eyes were filled with distress and depression as he considered himself helpless.

Click.

“That’s great.” He Bai put down camera and fondled Di’s hair in ways of patting a dog, grinning from ear to ear, while extruding the left dimple on his face, which made his laugh somewhat detestable. “Childish Di, come on, left hand.”

Staring at the white palm, Di Qiuhe got close to and grasped it instinctively, while raised his eyebrows the moment he realized something was wrong, then looking at He seriously, and gnashed again. “Pup!”

At the very moment, He Bai raised his camera and clicked agilely, then there followed a shutter sound.

Di was freezing in the cruel expression.

“Done.” He Bai patted Di on the shoulder and looked down to check the final image.

Upon seeing He’s smile of satisfaction, Di Qiuhe’s anger just stirred up vanished and he calmed down. He had no other way. All right, now that he was several years older than Pup, it was his responsibility to be patient.

He Bai was lighted up with pleasure. He turned off the camera, stretched out his hand to pull Di Qiuhe, who was still squatting in front of him. Looking around, he saw no other chair, thus he sat down shoulder by shoulder beside Di, and inquired, “When I just came here, I heard that the crew was going to have a holiday. Do you get to have days off as well?”

For relaxing, Di Qiuhe’s rest chair was rather comfortable, which was enough to accommodate two men sitting down side by side. However, Di Qiuhe had ulterior motives, thus he couldn’t help but stood up promptly when he felt He’s breath spraying on his shoulder. He concealed his nervousness by taking a bottle of water from the water tank beside him and gave it to He Bai. Then he leaned sideways to a pillar beside and tried to give a natural response. “Yeah, three-day-off, enough to treat you well.”

He Bai hold the water bottle, watching Di leaning on the pillar in a deliberate posture, smiled but not exposed Di in this delicate situation, and replied, “Great, I have five days off, enough to finish my assignment and play with you.”

Wang Boyi came up at the proper moment and put a chair beside He Bai.

He Bai looked at Wang Boyi and thanked him with a friendly smile.

Di Qiuhe took a look at Wang Boyi likewise, then he stepped over and sat down, made a brief introduction about Wang after meeting He’s confused gaze. Then he turned to Wang and said, “You and assistant An deserve some rest as well. Come back to the studio on time three days later and contact me by phone if it’s necessary.”

“Yes, Master Di.” Wang Boyi responded respectfully, nodded politely to He Bai and turned away.

He Bai watched the one leaving, narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then he turned around and asked, “Is Wang the assistant your father arranged for you? You bribed him?”

“Yeah.” Di Qiuhe nodded and replied in candor, “I looked him up and got some of his dark history. Now he’s working for me.”

He Bai was amazed. “Wield both the carrot and the stick?”

Di Qiuhe was somewhat perturbed when explaining it to He Bai. He was fond of He Bai, and hoped He Bai could care for him as well, the real him. He never concealed his malice and calculation to his family before He Bai, and he was not intending to conceal himself before subordinates or outsiders in the future.

It would be nice for him if He Bai could accept him like this, otherwise...Then he shall find another way to be accepted step by step. Fortunately, He Bai responded him the best, no repulsive but absolute acceptance and trust.

“Well, the carrot and the stick is an outmoded method, but it works.” He couldn’t help but be happier, which could be seen from his eyes for he thought he loved the right guy. Pup was considerate, far better than he thought.

He Bai raised his eyebrows to pretend he was irritated when he saw Di was showing off. But he swallowed the teasing words on the tip of his tongue as he saw from a distance that the staff around director Jiang left one by one. Then he put down the water bottle and stood up, “I’m going to say hello to director Jiang. Are you coming with me?”

Di Qiuhe looked back at director Jiang, restrained himself and got up, and then went over with He Bai.

Yang Wentian just finished talking with Jiang Guanshan and left, and met He and Di halfway. Di Qiuhe took the initiative to say hello to Yang, who replied and made fun of Di, seeming quite close.

He Bai looked curiously at Di Qiuhe, who appeared as a totally different person, regretting that he hadn’t brought the camera with him, otherwise, he could shoot Di’s countenance right now.

Jiang Guanshan was talking to the assistant director. He saw Di Qiuhe coming when he raised his eyes, then he raised hand and waved to Di before the one came near, and said, “Qiuhe, you’re right on time. I forgot to tell your assistant that Dong Ni will be on the set after the holiday. Your first co-star play is wire work, and it will be very strenuous. So please don’t overtax your energy on your vacation, and make sure you have a good rest. Your shooting assignment will be heavier after Dong Ni back.”

Hearing Dong Ni was mentioned, Di Qiuhe looked at He Bai beside, and then withdrew his sight hurriedly after catching the doubtful look of He, he looked back at Jiang Guanshan and replied. “I see, director Jiang.”

Jiang then noticed He Bai standing beside Di Qiuhe, who looked unfamiliar, and frowned a bit.

He Bai gave a smile right away, then took out his business card and a USB disk, handed it to Jiang respectfully with both hands, then made a self-introduction politely, “Nice to meet you, director Jiang, I’m He Bai. This is the material that my master, Mr. Xu Yinrong, asked me to deliver to you. Sorry to have kept you waiting, sir.”

Jiang Guanshan eased down when he heard it, with his eyes full of kindness. He accepted the business card and looked at it. Then he handed the USB disk to the assistant director and held out his hand to He Bai. “You’re LaoXu’s little disciple. Thank you for taking the hard trip. I heard from LaoXu that you would like to complete your assignment on the set. Make yourself at home, but no flash please.”

He Bai held Jiang’s hand with both hands promptly, paused for a few seconds and then let go of it sensibly. With a pleasant smile on his face, he thanked Jiang for the opportunity to shoot, and then sincerely promised that he would never cause any trouble to the crew.

Di Qiuhe, who considered He Bai was just about to make a simple greeting, frowned and looked at He with the head aslant.

After parting Jiang Guanshan, they left the base. He Bai went back with Di to the hotel where the crew stayed and prepared for dinner and rest.

“Did you formally acknowledge Elder Xu as your master?” After backing to the room, Di Qiuhe, who had suppressed his curiosity all the way, finally could not help questioning.

He Bai took off his coat, slumped on the sofa and nodded, “Well, not long ago.”

Di Qiuhe glanced at the waist figure and long legs of He, sidled over to put He’s suitcase beside the wardrobe. Then he turned around and sat down on the edge of the bed, frowning at He, and finally posed an aggrieved question, “So you’re not here for me but Jiang?”

He Bai was amazed, cast a glance at Di funnily and kicked him with foot. “And that’s why you wore a sour face all the way. How naive you are to be bothered about by it.”

Di Qiuhe clamped He’s leg to keep He from breaking away without saying a word, He was apparently sulking.

With such a temperament, He Bai thought, the upper limit of Di’s mental age was three-year-old at most!

He Bai felt disappointed, stopped struggling and moved his body. He then explained, “Visiting you is my paramount purpose, and delivering material is in passing. I was too busy to complete two weeks’ photography assignment when I took the cover for Jun Chen, and master heard that I was coming to you during National Day holidays, he asked me to bring the material and then gave me a new assignment after asking Jiang’s advice.”

After hearing the explanation, Di Qiuhe was in a better mood. He saw He Bai lying in front, then his eyebrows eased and mouth curled up on the sly, asked, “You were shooting me as soon as you get here. Am I your new assignment?”

“No.” He Bai denied mercilessly.

Di Qiuhe wore a poker face as soon as he was frustrated. He loosened He Bai’s leg, stooped to grasp He’s ankle and pulled it, placing He’s leg onto his knees and holding it down to keep He from moving.

“Hey!” He Bai did not see that coming, and he was almost jumping out from his skin. Thus he kicked Di with his other leg, and rebuked, “How could you behave like a kid. You’re not like this when I first met you...Let it go! My assignment this time is to snapshot the protagonists in your crew, and then manage to edit the rest of the crew into the same scene for making posters, or to snapshot an applicable crew image during filming. So yes I am taking photo of you but not just you, do you understand?

Di Qiuhe held both He Bai’s legs down altogether, and then with a neat drag, pulled He Bai down from the sofa directly.

“What the fuck!” He Bai broke away from the sofa and was about to fall down.

Di Qiuhe stretched out his arms to support He Bai’s back, moved his legs forward and put his hand back, laying He Bai steadily across his leg.

He Bai: “...”

Di Qiuhe was satisfied, grinned with a gentle smile. “You have no need to snapshot others, because I’m the leading role during the two days after the holiday, just shoot me.”

He Bai loosened his hand, which was at Di’s waist for keeping his body balance, then lifted Di’s shirt resolutely.
