Translator: Sissy That Walk

Di Qiuhe woke up early next morning, he zoned out staring at the ceiling for a little while and he rolled over to He Bai’s side, groping around for his phone. Then he covered half of He Bai’s face with the blanket, took a selfie of them both lying next to each other.

Click.

Way to wake up in the morning.

Di Qiuhe stared at He Bai who was still sound asleep right next to him and cracked a goofy smile, then he logged in Weibo and clicked the create button.

“I dare you Childish Di, do you want me to run away from home?”

The hand on the phone went stiff, Di Qiuhe quickly logged off Weibo and put the phone under the pillow, the next second he acted nothing had happened and leaned towards He Bai, “What do you feel like for breakfast? I learned chow mien from Uncle Hu, I also brought his signature sauce back home, you want some?”

He Bai squinted hie eyes and looked Di Qiuhe up and down, he bent his knee and stroked Di Qiuhe, “You look like you are still in high spirit, hmm, I guess I didn’t exhaust you last night.”

Di Qiuhe felt excited and leaned towards at He Bai, he actually had the best time last night. He Bai, who claimed that Di Qiuhe needed some punishments didn’t end up giving him any.

“Puppy, you are such a cute puppy.” Di Qiuhe cuddled He Bai tight in his arms and kissed him all over, then he became handsy.

He Bai gave him warm reactions, but he stopped when Di Qiuhe was fully turned on and said, “Stop, I have such a sore throat.”

Di Qiuhe stopped as well, he tucked He Bai in and felt his forehead, asking with concern, “Are you having a cold? Do you have a runny nose or feel headache?”

“No, I want some warm water, with some honey.” He Bai cringed under the blanket, he looked at Di Qiuhe with those innocent puppy eyes.

Di Qiuhe’s heart was melting, he gave He Bai a kiss on the forehead, “Just one second, I will get you some.” with that he put on his pajamas and walked downstairs.

He Bai jumped out of the bed as soon as he saw Di Qiuhe left the room, he grabbed a jacket and collected his phone, cameras in a bag, left a note and sneaked to the garage, yep, he was hatching a runaway from home plan.

What met Qiuhe’s eyes were an empty bed and a note when he came back with a glass of warm water, the note said: I said I’d give you some punishment, I’m running away from home for a few days, don’t worry, I’ll be back after the ceremony of “Cheng’s Army”! If you say anything stupid on the ceremony, see you after the spring festival!

Ouch!

Di Qiuhe’s heart was broken.

“What you are telling me is, He Bai was mad at you that he ran away from home? And you have no clue where he could be?”

“Yes.” answered Di Qiuhe listlessly, he continued, “He is not at grandpa’s, I called his roommates as well, he is not at school. I called him so many times, but he turned his phone off so I didn’t reach him… … he was not wearing enough layers when he left home, and he might be sick at the moment… …”

Jiang Xiuwen who was on the other side of the phone took a glimpse at He Bai who was snuggling at the sofa, took a deep breath and said, “Have you asked all of his roommates, what if he is hiding at his roommate’s home?”

Di Qiuhe scratched his hair and said, “Yeah, he didn’t contact his roommates, they didn’t even know Bai ran away.” Di Qiuhe trusted He Bai’s roommates, if He Bai was really hiding with them, they would definitely give him some hints.

“How about Professor Xu? And that creepy Second Senior Disciple named Xu Ying?” Jiang Xiuwen continued to mislead Di Qiuhe, he was actually enjoying seeing Di Qiuhe getting some punishment.

“I did, but he isn’t with them. Professor Xu now is in the south with his family, that creepy Second Senior Disciple Xu Ying, he went to G City with Jun Chen… …” Di Qiuhe sounded more and more crestfallen, he continued after a little while, “I shouldn’t make him mad… …”

Jiang Xiuwen looked at He Bai who was blowing his nose on the sofa, thought for a little while and said, “Qiuhe, you were indeed wrong this time, but are you sure you know where you did wrong? He Bai is mad at you, we know that, but do you really know the reason? He is mad because you didn’t take his words seriously, again and again. He specifically told you he’s like to make it public after the ceremony of ‘Cheng’s Army’, but you kept trying him and saying silly stuff. He ran away from home to make sure you behave yourself at the ceremony of ‘Cheng’s Army’, he didn’t want the public to pay more attention to your private life than your work.”

Hearing that, He Bai looked at Jiang Xiuwen with appreciation.

Jiang Xiuwen smiled as a reply, giving him a look of ‘I got you, gal.’

He Bai smiled with satisfaction and snuggled back to the sofa.

Di Qiuhe, who was on the other side of the phone went silent, and said in a low voice after a little while, “I know I did wrong… …”

“But you just couldn’t control yourself?” chimed in Jiang Xiuwen, he heaved a sigh and said in an earnest way, “Qiuhe, I don’t get it, it’s just a matter of time, Bai just said a specific time, I don’t see any difference, and he wouldn’t lie to you about that.”

He Bai gave Jiang Xiuwen a thumbs up.

Di Qiuhe was still silent.

“Qiuhe, I’m your best friend, I know… I know what you have gone through, growing up in a family like that, you are living in constant fear, fear of loss. You just couldn’t wait to let the whole world know you and Bai are a loving couple, sometimes you fear Bai would just abandon you and keep you in the dark? But you know Bai better than anyone, he is not like that. Qiuhe, just try to think this through.”

He Bai went silent as well hearing what Jiang Xiuwen had said.

Di Qiuhe explained, “Xiuwen, I do fear sometimes, but never had I doubted about little puppy, I know him, it’s just… …”

“Qiuhe, don’t worry, Bai knows what he is doing. You just behave yourself and wait for him to come back, I’m sure he will be back home soon, I have a client coming soon, talk to you later.” Jiang Xiuwen hang up the phone and looked at He Bai, “I’m afraid what Qiuhe has gone through in Di Family is affecting him now… …”

He Bai was lost in thought.

“Yeah, Qiuhe deserves this punishment, sometimes he can be so silly.” Jiang Xiuwen looked at He Bai who was suffering the flu and asked, “Do you want to go to the hospital? You don’t look very well.”

He Bai nodded and said, “I will go to the doctor’s soon, thank you so much.”
