Chapter 259: Say Yes (2)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

The crowd laughed as well, but the reporter who asked the question didn’t take that for an answer, he continued, “How do you define the relationship you are having with him? People say there is something going on between you two, is that true?”

He Bai’s smile disappeared, he stared at the reporter like he was going to burn the reporter alive with his stares, ‘Why are you asking all these annoying questions? That’s personal!’

“Not true.” Di Qiuhe was still smiling, he shrugged and answered, “He didn’t give me the chance to have something going on with him, he thinks I’m too tall and too slim, he also disapproved the way I watch horror movies, he says I look like an armature horror movie fan.”

The crowd laughed again, but the reporter was so determined to dig an answer, he continued, “People say you two are queer-baiting, the bromance you guys are showing is all staged to create hype, do you agree?”

“I’m not happy to see those comments.” Di Qiuhe frowned and sighed, “Me and Bai are both very genuine by nature, it’s nothing but an insult by saying we are staging something, I don’t appreciate that voice at all, and Bai neither.”

“So, pleas tell me how do you define the relationship you are having with Photographer He Bai.” the reporter asked the same question, again.

Di Qiuhe took a glimpse at the reporter and remained collected, “I owe him a lot, he was the one who recommended me to ‘Cheng’s Army’ crew, he gave me the opportunity to work with such an amazing crew. He has always been there for me, he is a great part of my progress, if there is any. He means a lot to me. Thank you so much for the question, but I think we are running out of time, I’d like to answer a few more questions related to my work, I thinks that shows great respect to the committee.”

That won a round of applause from other reporters who hadn’t got the chance to raise any questions yet, they rolled their eyes at the reporter and took the mic. The interview went on smoothly, Di Qiuhe answered a few more questions about the films and his following plans for next year, such great atmosphere.

He Bai watched the whole video and he felt so sorry for his Childish Di, and he was so proud of his Childish Di for not having throwing a tantrum when he had every right to when he was pestered with the same question over and over again. Di Qiuhe didn’t say anything inappropriate in front of the reporters just in case they would misinterpret it and say anything that Bai wouldn’t appreciate.

Di Qiuhe was being so careful because he didn’t want to upset Bai, otherwise he wouldn’t care whether the reporters would misinterpret him or not.

He Bai watched several other interview clips, without exception, Childish Di showed great respect to the reporters even though when he was pestered by the same annoying questions.

Comments like “queer-baiting” or “staged bromance” were becoming less and less, but the team wouldn’t erase them all because one day the love birds were going to make it public, if they tried so hard to act like there was nothing going on between the two, they would receive more criticism when the two made it public.

“Yes, Bai is such a great person to work with, anyone who had worked with him would like him. Next question, please.”

He Bai closed the video and was lost in thought.

All the clips he just watched kept flashing across his mind, he bit his lips and got out of the bed.

He walked downstairs and saw Hu Zhao who was reading the reports with Fan Da, Hu Zhao raised his head and asked, “Bai, what’s going on? Is everything okay, you look like you are in a rush or something, go back to your room and get some sleep.”

“I’m going to see Qiuhe.” He Bai replied and he grabbed a jacket, running towards the door.

Hu Zhao stopped him and said in a serious tone, “What nonsense are you talking about? You want to get sicker?”

He Bai relied hastily, “Uncle Hu…”

“Let him go.” Fan Da put away the reports in hand and looked at He Bai, “Bai, you can go see Qiuhe, that’s fine. But you cannot go like this, go put on more layers, and I will ask Xu Qing to drive you, promise me you will come back home once you are not feeling well, okay?”

“Uncle Fan…” chimed in Hu Zhao.

“Young kids should listen to their hearts, Bai and Qiuhe are both good kids and they know what they are doing, we should support them.” Fan Da called the bodyguards and told them to go with Bai.

The bodyguards nodded and went out to get ready.

He Bai looked at Fan Da with admiration in his eyes and he put on a fawning smile at Hu Zhao.

“Kids these days.. …” Hu Zhao sighed, but he didn’t stop He Bai, he handed Bai a scarf instead.

To return to Qiuhe.

Di Qiuhe was now sitting between Dong Ni and Director Jiang in the venue, he looked like he was enjoying the performance on stage.

“The next category is ‘The Best Actor’, are you nervous at all?” asked Jiang Guanshan.

Di Qiuhe was still staring at the stage.

Jiang Guanshan frowned and he took a closer look at Di Qiuhe, Di Qiuhe zoned out!

“Hi, Bai.”

Di Qiuhe turned around and asked, “Bai? Where are you? I told you you should get some rest at home.”

Jiang Guanshan looked at him with a meaningful smile.

Di Qiuhe realized something, the sparkle in his eyes disappeared, he slowly slumped into his seat. Then he looked at Jiang Guanshan and asked gently, “Uncle Jiang, you asked me a question, yeah? Sorry I didn’t sleep well last night, what’s the question again?”
