One Useless Rebirth
chapter-129

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Xing Shaofeng was touched by his joy that his smile was getting bigger unconsciously. He replied, “Happy cooperation!” It must be really lovely to witness how this lovely couple establishes a romantic relationship.

Hanging up the phone, Di Qiuhe went back to the lounge for his meal but there was still something stuck in his mind.

“It was impossible to hide the way you look at your lover…”, he stopped his motion and frowned a bit.

Even someone like Xing Shaofeng who met him for once could tell his love towards puppy just by watching the photos taken by puppy, then what about Wang Boyi who spent most of the day with him…

He turned to look at the assistant nearby with his curious eyes.

Wang Boyi noticed that he was watching, so he sat up straight and looked around at the crew which was having lunch together. He then leaned over and asked in a low voice, “Master Di, how may I help you?”

Di Qiuhe thought for a while and put down the chopsticks to end his tasteless meal, and then he beckoned to Wang Boyi to follow him.

Walking to a quiet place in the lounge, they made sure that there was no one else around. Di Qiuhe thought for a while and asked, “How is assistant An doing lately?”

“She is quite quiet and Qin Li didn’t contact her.” Wang Boyi answered and took out his phone to check the memo, saying again, “The team has been releasing news regularly on your instructions. So Huangdu and the Qin family have always been the center of the public opinion swirl and can barely step out. Di Bian hasn’t contacted me ever since he asked me if you wanted to fire me. And on your instructions, I also made him believe that it was the Liu family who released the breaking news online because they weren’t satisfied with the marriage with the Qin family.”

Di Qiuhe nodded to show that he understood, and he said while staring at his face, “I love He Bai, and I want him to be my partner. So I hope you can treat him the way you treat me.”

Wang Boyi was struck and raised his head to look at him. After seeing his ambiguous eyes, he was shocked and constrained his astonishment and his emotion of “I knew it”. Wang lowered his head and replied obediently, “I understood, master Di.”

Sending away Wang Boyi who was quite calm just then, Di Qiuhe rolled his eyes and pressed his forehead because he felt a bit headache.

Wang Boyi had noticed it just as expected…then was his affection towards Bai that obvious?

Bai visited him twice in the shooting set, then maybe someone else in the crew had also noticed…he shook his head when thinking about that and denied that assumption.

Last time when Bai visited him, he was busying shooting while Bai was busy doing his photograph assignment, so they barely had time being together. And this time Bai was not even around him the entire day, so he didn’t have the chance to show his affection.

But he didn’t show it this time was due to he didn’t have a chance to, he would get the chance sooner or later. When they returned to the B city and Bai joined the crew, they would get busted as a matter of time, unless he restrained his love and stayed away from Bai. But how could he stay away from Bai…

He frowned deeply and soon felt even worse by this thought. After the terrible feeling, he got depressed again.

Now the situation of Huangdu and the Qin family were both not great. Although Huading was growing rapidly, Di himself still had a lot to catch up. He was still quite green in showbiz, with no resource or contact, he couldn’t just do as he pleased.

Once his affection for He Bai went public, then both he and He Bai would get heavily affected on their career. He could definitely deal with the outcome because he didn’t really care that much if his got destroyed. But it was just too hard for Bai to come so far as a student, so he couldn’t let Bai get involved in a homosexual scandal just because of him. That would ruin his study and career, which was just so unfair.

To step forward or to step back? What should he do?

He Bai put the contract back and asked to leave politely.

Before he left the ward, He Bai recalled how reluctant he had felt the last night, so he stopped and looked back at Xing Shaofeng. Xing was sincerely not a good-looking guy anymore, yet thinking about those troubles he had solved for him, He Bai asked straightforwardly, “Shaofeng, if you had a crush on someone who only sees you as his little brother, what would you do? Telling the person the truth directly and starting to chase him?”

Xing Shaofeng was struck hearing that, and he asked, “Little brother? So it was a big sister?”

He Bai shook his head and smiled at him slightly.

Xing Shaofeng pretended to get him immediately and replied after thinking for a while, “Well, then I would find out his sexuality first and think about the next step.”

It had happened millions of times in the past life when he and Xing had this kind of conversation. So He Bai accepted his advice easily and nodded after thinking for a while. He continued to ask, “Then how am I going to find out his sexuality? I um, I tried to seduce him, but it didn’t seem to work, so maybe he is straight.”

Xing Shaofeng was surprised by his bravery and frankness. Thinking about how Di Qiuhe behaved in the airport, he asked with some confusion, “No offense but may I just ask what kind of seduce was that?”

He Bai didn’t want to hide as they were both grown-up men and he trusted him so much, he also knew him so well in the past life. So he told him simply about what had happened the night before yesterday.

Xing Shaofeng was so amused by him and he said while trying so hard not to laugh, “Sorry, I’m not laughing at you. I just feel that what you did was just…cute. I think, well, since you are so close just like brothers, then maybe asking him directly would be the best way. Probing and guessing might have too much personal emotion inside, but seducing…You should know that even between two persons who are in love with each other, it is basic respect to not do anything offensive to his or her body. So maybe there were other reasons why he didn’t do anything and not because he was not into you.”

Asking him directly?

He Bai thought for a while and pounded his head with full of regrets. Exactly! He could have asked him directly. It was just more than easy to get the truth from Childish Di. He must have lost his sanity that he tried to seduce him. So stupid!

Suddenly the gloomy prospects between them became clear. He said goodbye to Xing Shaofeng in a hurry and strode away to try a second time.

Now the table has turned. He Bai started to follow around Di Qiuhe since he returned to the scene that he tried so hard to chat and take photos with him. But Di Qiuhe seemed to try to stay away from him all the time. He would go to the bathroom, or reapply the makeup, or just went to discuss the script with the director, always occupied. Anyway, he just tried so hard not to be with him alone, and he behaved rather cold as well.

He Bai pointed his camera at Di Qiuhe who was going through the lines with the third male lead. He frowned after pressing the shutter.
