Chapter 61: Farewell (2)

He Bai raised his head.

While Di Qiuhe looked down.

They looked at each other.

“Well…nice body.” He Bai said calmly in a dumbfounded and objective tone.

Di Qiuhe was frozen. He noticed that He Bai was gazing at his intimate area and didn’t know what to do. Neither covering this private part nor displaying like nothing happened was appropriate. His ears and neck all turned read, “Glad you like it…”

He Bai: “…” God, what had I said…

Di Qiuhe: “…” Oh no, I poured my heart out.

“…”

“…”

The facial cleanser stood on the edge of the shelf finally fell with a clatter.

It seemed that the dead time began to run again. Both finally moved. He Bai turned around and went out while Di Qiuhe covered his body with curtain.

“Just get washed…This curtain is really of poor quality, isn’t it?” He Bai stammered.

Di Qiuhe turned his head sideways with a red face, “Yeah, yeah, it is…I need to change a new one.”

They washed up respectively quietly and came to the canteen courteously to have breakfast. They dared not to have any eye contacts, forgetting the cheating mess for now.

“Have a walk outside?” After the breakfast, Di Qiuhe took a car key and invited him cautiously.

He Bai, who was pretending drinking water, was baffled. He nodded, “Well…of course. You are the boss today.”

So, they got into the car awkwardly. They drove to see some famous spots around the training base and took many photos. He Bai also posted a happy-birthday message on Weibo before Di Qiuhe, attached was Di Qiuhe’s photo with his new style-brush cut.

Near the sunset, Di Qiuhe took He Bai to the airport.

“Call me when you arrive.”

“Yep.”

“Thank you, for celebrating my birthday with me.”

“It’s all right.”

“I had a very nice day.”

“Me too.”

“The bath…”

“Never mind! It’s just a little accident.”

“…”

“I am going to the security check. See…see you.”

“Wait!” Di Qiuhe stopped him and stretched his arms, giving him a nervous and expectant smile, “Can you hug me?” He Bai looked at him. This was the first eye contact after the morning mess. He paused and stepped forward to hug him. He Bai patted his shoulder, “Happy birthday. And wish you a successful filming.”

Di Qiuhe tightened his arms with satisfaction and buried his face into He Bai’s neck, rubbing against him. His eyes were full of tenderness and of course, sadness. He said in a low voice: “Filming will start soon, so I will be quite busy then. I may not have much time to visit you…”

“It’s OK. This film is important for you.” He Bai patted him again, like a mild senior comforting and encouraging a young man, “True friendship will last, no matter we meet or not. You can make it.”

“Not just friends.” He rebutted.

He Bai turned into a serious face, “I will never call you big brother.”

“…”

Di Qiuhe laughed slightly and rubbed his lips against He Bai’s hair. He closed his eyes and allowed his body to completely fall on He Bai, sighing, “I know…This film will be shot on many locations, and this is just the first one. Then there will be country K, J, district D…and at last, city B. If everything goes on fine, it may take me at least 3 months to go back to B. My little puppy, don’t miss me too much.”

He Bai rolled his eyes and pushed him away, laughing, “Don’t worry, it’s just 3 months. I will not miss you at all.”

“You are such a heartless person.” Di Qiuhe also let him go. He stood straight and jabbed at He Bai’s dimple, also laughing, “I will mail you special local products whenever I get to a new place. I may inform you or not, so remember to sign for them.”

“Not fruit again.” He Bai teased like a good brother. But the embarrassment was finally gone. He told Di Qiuhe, “Don’t skip meals, and looking forward to your new film.”

Di Qiuhe nodded. He was so desperate to hold his hand and kiss him, but he didn’t. He said, “I heard that your Little Mermaid collection photos have been published on international magazines, congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

They looked each other but didn’t know what to say. The atmosphere was subtle.

He Bai pulled his bag and said, “I’m just gonna go.”

Di Qiuhe was nodded reluctantly, with hands in his pockets, clenching. However, he still wore a mild and cool smile, “Just go, don’t miss your plane.”

The plane took off. He Bai browsed the magazine on the plane and scratched his head. It seemed that he forgot something very important. That’s wired.

A couple of hours later, the plane landed. He Bai turned on his phone and saw dozens of messages of Di Qiuhe.

He raised the eyebrows, smiling delightfully.

Di Qiuhe: Thank you for celebrating my birthday with me. I am very happy.

How many times he had thanked me…? He Bai thought.

Di Qiuhe: I’m sorry to cheat you with my WeChat alt.

He Bai’s smile suddenly frozen.

Di Qiuhe: Thank you for forgiving me so quickly. You are truly my cutest little puppy^-^

He stared at the “^-^” on the end of the sentence for a while and then moved to the next message.

Di Qiuhe: I will not lie to you again.

Di Qiuhe: I promise to make you happy in the future, not make you angry.

Diu Qiuhe: Mua~

That familiar “Mua” again.

He narrowed his eyes and looked up at the dark sky with no stars. He had decided to forget it at first, but finally, he chose to strike back and began to type.

Di Qiuhe was now full of bashfulness, pleasance, waiting his beloved to reply his messages. And then his phone vibrated. He quickly opened the message interface.

He Bai: No thanks.

He Bai: And thanks for your reminding, I haven’t forgiven you yet.

He Bai: Is it funny to wield my sympathy and trick me to send you a shameful voice message?

He Bai: And set that voice message as your alarm?

He Bai: Do you think this ^-^ is cute?

He Bai: I begin to regret that I didn’t kick your ass now.

He Bai: Farewell, film emperor^-^.

Di Qiuhe, who just had his first serious crush, was heartbroken.
