He Bai actually felt sick early that morning, he felt dizzy and he knew that didn’t bode well. Normally he would just have a runny nose when he caught a cold, but this time he felt dizzy and nauseous.

That was actually why he had this running away plan, he knew Di Qiuhe would leave everything behind for him. Most importantly, the ceremony of “Cheng’s Army” was just days away, he didn’t want Di Qiuhe to get sick.

He couldn’t think of a better way than running away from home to help Di Qiuhe focus on his work.

“No problem at all, you know you are always welcomed here.” Jiang Xiuwen poured He Bai some warm water, he then frowned slightly, “But are you sure you don’t want to tell Qiuhe that you are sick, you need someone to take care of you.”

“Yeah, I’m fine, I’ll go the the doctor’s soon.” He Bai took the water and asked with hesitation, “Qiuhe… … was he used to… … never mind, thank you so much for today.”

Jiang Xiuwen heard that hesitation but he didn’t ask He Bai, he just smiled and said, “That’s all right, I will ask my assistant to go to the doctor’s with you after lunch, how about that?”

“Thank you, Xiuwen.” smiled He Bai, but he kept thinking what Jiang Xiuwen had said over the phone.

‘Is this a right decision? Qiuhe grew up in Di Family, he had trust issues already, would I freak him out by just running away?’

‘I must comfort him somehow.’

Seeing how worried He Bai was, Jiang Xiuwen felt kind of jealous, his silly friend, Di Qiuhe, had such a loving life-long partner.

But all jokes aside, he prayed his best friend and He Bai would go back to normal soon.

He Bai went to the hospital after lunch and everything was fine.

Then he called Wang Boyi and checked in a hotel near Wang Boyi’s house, “the most dangerous place is just the safest one”, no way would Di Qiuhe expect He Bai would be hiding in a hotel near Wang Boyi’s house.

After he checked in the hotel he called Xing Shaofeng briefly to let him know what was going on, then he logged on his Wechat and messaged Di Qiuhe.

White and Whiter: I’m not abandoning you, you just behave yourself and I will be back soon. I will come home with your favorite treats.

He got a reply within seconds.

A Bird Born in Autumn: Where are you? How are you feeling? Are you still having a sore throat?

He Bai could almost see how fast Di Qiuhe typed, a smile flashed across his face and soon he typed: I’m fine, everything is fine, my throat is all better now. But I’m not telling you where am I just in case you prioritize me over your work. Are you going to say silly stuff again?

A Bird Born in Autumn: I’m so sorry, I won’t do it again.

He Bai smiled with satisfaction, he even felt his cold was better now, he said: That’s my good boy, I owe you an apology too, I won’t run away like this ever again.

White and Whiter: P.S. I love you.

Di Qiuhe stared at the screen for so long and he pressed his head, replied: I love you too, I’m waiting for you at home.

Di Qiuhe sat on the sofa and looked around the house, he could almost smell He Bai’s aroma in the air and he looked at the messages again and again.

Thinking about what Jiang Xiuwen had said on the phone, Di Qiuhe felt ever more sorry. He Bai told him specifically they needed to keep each other updated on making it public, puppy had forgiven him right away the first time he said something silly on an award ceremony, then the second time… the third time…

The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt.

A Bird Born in Autumn: This time I really know what I have done wrong, it won’t happen again.

White and Whiter: That’s fine, don’t think about that any more. Wait for me get home, I will cook you a steak dinner.

A Bird Born in Autumn: Yay.

Di Qiuhe snuggled on the sofa and cuddled He Bai’s favorite cushion, he went silent for a little while and called Xing Shaofeng, he said, “I changed my mind, I will go to the events I told you to turn down for me.”

He got a phone call from Hu Zhao after he hang up, Hu said something unpleasant happened.

He went to Fan Mansion right away.

Hu Zhao gave him a report as soon as he walked in the living room, “Here, these are Di Chunhua’s medical bills, the hospital abroad somehow finds out you are his brother and they couldn’t reach Qin Li, so they mailed the bills to you and they require us to pick her up from the hospital soon.”

Di Qiuhe thumbed through the bills and looked at Fan Da who was sitting across him, “Grandpa, what do you think about this?”

“We can do that.” replied Fan Da with a meaningful smile.

“We can send her to Di Bian, they have been apart for a while now.”

“Sure.” Answered Di Qiuhe, with that he called his lawyer to get it done then he asked Hu Zhao, “Uncle Hu, you also mentioned something about Qin Li’s coming back?”

“Yeah, she was back yesterday.” answered Hu Zhao, he then presented a report, “She paid some hacker to hack into Zeng Peizhong and Zeng Peizhong’s lawyers e-mail, trying to find out the whereabouts of Zeng Peizhong’s daughter, then she came back yesterday.”

Hearing that, Di Qiuhe’s forehead unknitted, “She wouldn’t get anything, only me and Zeng Peizhong know about the whereabouts of his daughter, the couple that adopts the little girl was from M Country. Keep having a close eye on her, ask Zeng Peizhong’s lawyer to find her when it’s necessary.”

Hu Zhao nodded in agreement.

“Qiuhe,” chimed in Fan Da, “I heard Bai ran away from home, because of you?”

Di Qiuhe lowered his head and tried to act normal.

Fan Da squinted his eyes and sneered, “Transfer Da Ze under Bai’s name, cars, houses, everything.”

Di Qiuhe stuck his tongue out .
