Chapter 269: I’m Sorry (3)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

He Bai buried his face even deeper, the more nice and gentle Di Qiuhe was, the more he wanted to cry out loud. And he ended up dandling on Di Qiuhe’s shoulders and wailing, “This is all because of you, you Childish Di!”

“Yeah, it’s all my fault, I’m sorry.” Di Qiuhe was at a loss, he didn’t see this breakdown coming, Bai had always been a “happy go lucky” person. Di Qiuhe just cuddled He Bai tight and comforted him, “Everything is going to be okay, don’t worry, I’m right here for you.”

He Bai somehow cried even louder and harder.

It turned out to be a nice healing process for He Bai, he fell asleep slowly after this venting.

“Not so fast, your eyes will get so swollen tomorrow morning.” said Di Qiuhe gently. It was of no avail, He Bai was sound asleep.

Di Qiuhe quit trying to wake He Bai up, he put He Bai back into the bed and tucked him in, then he went to get a warm towel to wipe He Bai’s tears and some ice in case He Bai woke up with his eyes swollen.

The ice had sent some chills on He Bai’s eyes, he slowly woke up and stared at Di Qiuhe’s back for a while. Then he wrapped his arms around Di Qiuhe’s neck and cuddled Di Qiuhe tightly.

“Did I woke you up? Sorry was trying to help.” Di Qiuhe turned back to look at He Bai, he gently stroked He Bai’s hair and asked, “Second round of crying? Could you please gimme some time to get changed first? This pajama is wet with your teardrops now.”

He Bai chuckled, he gave Di Qiuhe a gentle bite on the shoulder.

“Help, help, I’m under attack.” smiled Di Qiuhe, he lied down right next to He Bai and asked gently, “Bai, can you please tell me what’s going on? I’ve been meaning to ask you this question for days now, we are partners, I’m more than willing to face whatever life throws at us together with you, thick or thin.”

Hearing this and thinking about what a handful he had been to Di Qiuhe these past a few days, He Bai clenched his arms around Di Qiuhe’s body and said in a low voice, “Qiuhe, do you remember when we first met each other, I told you that I’m a fortune-teller?”

“Yeah, I told me I need to stay away from women and I have an inexorable doom that I need to work hard to fight against in my thirties or so… …” replied Di Qiuhe in a half-jokingly manner, “And I guess you are right, I do need to stay away from women now that I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

“Cut it off, I’m serious here.” He Bai gave Di Qiuhe another bite on his shoulder an continued, “Well, I’m not a fortune-teller, but I didn’t make that shit up, what I’ve told you was all in my dreams, in fragments though, the dream became complete recently.”

Thinking about all those prompt warnings He Bai had given him, Di Qiuhe frowned and he knew this was no joking matter, he asked in a gentle manner, “What dream? It looks like the dream is about me, hmm, let me guess, is it about our grand gay wedding?”

“Yeah you wish.” He Bai rolled his eyes on Di Qiuhe, “The first fragment is about you are pushed out of a building when you are in your thirties, and you are already a big shot, you have won several big awards and you have established Huading.”

“And you? What are you gonna do if I die?” Di Qiuhe clenched his arms around He Bai, he was more interested in finding out whether He Bai was going to be okay than his own death.

“Me?” He Bai asked in surprise. He tapped Di Qiuhe on his forehead and replied, “I don’t know you in my dream, I’m a photographer who happen to capture the moment of you being pushed out from a building and I’ve filed a police report for you, you know, justice has to be served.”

Di Qiuhe retorted, “We don’t know each other?”

“No, we don’t.” He Bai touched Di Qiuhe’s chin gently, he once again exclaimed how miraculous life could be, “You haven’t played the role of Cheng Jun in ‘Cheng’s Army’, and I’ve never worked in Saint Elephant, we are like… we are like two parallel lines who are working hard on his own. You, of course, are a big success, but karma has never found Di Bian and Qin Li, and you and grandpa have never got a chance to meet each other… …”

Di Qiuhe found that hard to accept, a life without Bai? No!

However, life had treated him well, he had Bai in real life, thank God he had Bai in real life.

He Bai didn’t know Di Qiuhe well in the previous life, so he summed up the story real quick, and he felt like a ton of weight had been lifted up as he shared this with Di Qiuhe.

“How about…” asked Di Qiuhe in hesitation, “How about you, what has happened after the police report? Have you found the one who you spend the rest of your life with?”

“I died, too.” complained He Bai, “Di Chunhua put poison in your drink, but we happen to bump into each other and got our drinks mixed up, I died right after I filed a police report… yep, it’s all your fault. I died to save you but you died as well, I died for nothing… …”

Di Qiuhe’s heard sunk, no way could he combine the word “death” with the person nestling in his arms, he asked again, “You… you also died?”

“Yep,” He Bai’s voice got lower and he yawned, “Childish Di, you owe me a lifetime, you know that? You better live long and pay me back with a real long lifetime.”

With that He Bai fell asleep in Di Qiuhe’s arms.

Di Qiuhe was in thought, he couldn’t imagine his life without He Bai, he couldn’t imagine what his life or He Bai’s life would be if they hadn’t met each other or fell in love with each other… …
