Chapter 280: Side Story Two (2)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
He Bai’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, he thought for quite a while and compromised, “no sex scenes, kiss scenes... depends! Please ask for doubles for those scenes!”
Seeing how torn He Bai was, Di Qiuhe had a blast, he threw himself at He Bai and said, “Puppy the way you get jealous is just so adorable, don’t worry, I will ask for your permission for any of those scenes.” with that he began to get handsy.
He Bai felt a bit shy that Di Qiuhe had seen through him, he gave Di Qiuhe a kick on the shin and said, “go away, you playboy.”
“I only wanna play with one boy, you are my only boy,” Di Qiuhe kissed He Bai to interrupt him, “come on now, play with me.”
One week later He Bai decided the schedule for his exhibition, he was going to throw three in total, two in B City, one in D Country.
The first exhibition in B City was a big hit, He Bai won acclaim from the industry, and the charity auction was a huge success too.
The second exhibition took place in D Country, little did they expect it was even more popular than the first one. So many curators and collectors inquired He Bai on whether they had the honor to collect one or two of his works.
The works that the second exhibition displayed were mostly scenery, He Bai would very much like to spread beauty, he agreed with delight.
The last exhibition was held during Chinese Lunar New Year.
“Why are you holding his last exhibition on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve?” asked Di Qiuhe who just went back from a business trip and just found out this.
“Don’t worry, I’ve got Sister Li and Xu Qing who have been great help.” explained He Bai, he hugged Di Qiuhe tightly and whispered at his ear that how much he had been missing this Childish Di.
Such an direct express was very rare for He Bai, thus Di Qiuhe’s heart melted. He whispered back, “I miss you too, puppy. Sorry this trip took longer than I expected.”
“That’s okay, I ‘m just worried about you, I don’t want you over work.” He Bai kissed him on the cheek, “I’ve got you some new outfits, come check it out. Would you like to go to my exhibition on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve? Grandpa said we could have a lunch gathering instead, so we can have the night to our own.”
“Of course!” replied Di Qiuhe delightfully, “I won’t miss your exhibition for the world.”
He Bai smiled.
Di Qiuhe put on the new outfits that He Bai got him on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve, he found his outfits and He Bai’s were matching, he showed a goofy smile and hugged He Bai, “Puppy, why are you so nice to me today?”
“Buying you new outfits equals being so nice to you, good to know.” He Bai turned around and picked a tie for Di Qiuhe, “Behave yourself tonight, all right?”
“Of course!” smiled Di Qiuhe, “I am, after all, the man who has got your back ;)”
He Bai rolled his eyes and squeezed Di Qiuhe’s cheek with a smile.
They arrived at the venue at 8 p.m.
He Bai asked Di Qiuhe to get off the car first, then he closed the door promptly and asked Xu Qing to drive.
Di Qiuhe was completely dumbfounded, then he got a phone call from He Bai, “Bai?”
“You enter the venue first.” replied He Bai, he curled his lips and said slowly, “I’ve got a surprise for you.”
Di Qiuhe took a look at the gate and swept around the parking lot, hmm, it did seem a bit strange, there was no one around. It didn’t look like there was going to be an exhibition.
Di Qiuhe walked to the gate with great expectations, the parking lot was ablaze when he was about five meters away from the gate, then the gate was open and a red carpet unfolded in front of him.
Di Qiuhe looked at the red carpet for a little while and he walked on it.
As he walked in the venue, lights were on one by one, after the lights were all on from either side, they went off in unison.
And the next second, the spotlights on the wall were on, revealing the photos that He Bai selected for this exhibition.
“This is the first photo that I took for you, it was a pure accident and of no skill. But Professor Xu spoke highly of it, it took me a long time to appreciate its beauty, it captures a real you. And also, it marks the beginning of our story.” there came He Bai’s voice from upstairs.
Di Qiuhe looked up and walked to He Bai.
“Please stop walking.” He Bai looked at Di Qiuhe and smiled, “Welcome to my private exhibition, Mr. Di. Please don’t get distracted and keep listening to our story.”
Di Qiuhe listened to him and stopped, he chuckled and stepped back, he took a closer look at the photo and talked to himself, “Oh my, I look so cold and indifferent, I didn’t even show Bai a slight smile.”
“Well, you are forgiven.” laughed Di Qiuhe.
This spotlight was off, and the next spotlight shed light on the next photo.
“This is the second photo, I was taking a photo of someone else and you broke into it.”
Di Qiuhe apologized, “Is it too late to apologize now, Photographer He?”
He Bai laughed as a reply.
Then the third one, the fourth one, the fifth one... ... a selection of photos recorded how they met, how they got to know each other and how they fell in love with each other. Di Qiuhe’s eyes were getting red as he walked by the wall and looked at each photo, finally his emotions exploded seeing the photos of their honeymoon.
He spoke at upstairs, “Bai, I need to see you.”
“Keep walking straight, and open the door.” there came Bai’s voice.
Di Qiuhe strode to the door, soon he arrived at a wood door, he took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
Warm lighting and the aroma of food! Then he saw He Bai, who was standing right next to grandpa.
Di Qiuhe was transfixed on the spot.
“Qiuhe, we’ve been waiting for you, come take a family photo and let’s dive in this feast.” said Fan Da.
Family photo? That was an alien idea for Di Qiuhe, but he had to admit he got excited hearing it. He looked sideways and saw a camera, his heart was pounding.
“Come on over now, on three, two, one.” He Bai looked at him and raised his eyebrows, “Now, do you want to join us or not?”
Di Qiuhe came to his sense and he ran towards them.
He Bai hugged him tightly and said, “Happy New Year, my Childish Di.”
“Thank you so much.” Di Qiuhe’s eyes were so red, he kissed He Bai on his earlobe, “I mean it, thank you, puppy.”
Grandpa and Uncle Hu looked at them with a big smile.
The clock was striking midnight!
