Di Qiuhe gave He Bai a kiss on the lips, then he fished around in his pocket, then he produced a bracelet with lucky beads. With a big smile, Di Qiuhe put this bracelet on He Bai’s wrist, “this bracelet is with great auspicious blessing, may you a healthy and happy life,” then he kissed He Bai on his hand.
This bracelet surely looked familiar, He Bai had sent him a similar one before.
“So original, you are copying my present idea.” With a sham snort, He Bai rolled the lucky beads in the bracelet, then he reached his pocket and produced a platinum necklace. He untied Di Qiuhe’s tie and unbottoned his collar button, put it on for Di Qiuhe, he looked at Di Qiuhe, “look at us, it was like the pot calling the kettle back, Merry Christmas, my Childish Di,” then he groomed Di Qiuhe’s tie and collar.
Di Qiuhe couldn’t wait to have a look at the necklace, he stripped his tie and found there was a ring pendent on the necklace, he lifted the ring to have a closer look then he shot He Bai a meaningful look, and he kissed the ring hard, reached out to He Bai and pulled him in his arms, “Puppy, I’ll make you so happy.”
“Staying away from trouble is all I’m asking from you.” He Bai patted his back and he couldn’t help laughing, he asked in whisper, “you silly silly Childish Di, I don’t know when you can really grow up.”
He Bai gave Di Qiuhe a kiss on the ear as a response.
Di Qiuhe thought he could be a mature adult in front of other people for sure, but he only wanted to be a Childish Di for puppy, getting all the doting and kisses from Di Qiuhe, trying every trick to make He Bai smile and laugh, that was all he looked for.
Ms. Yu Hui’s party took place in a holiday villa in the suburb area in B City, it was dawn when Di Qiuhe and He Bai arrived, the villa was ablaze with lights, and numerous fancy cars were already parked in the yard.
“Are we late?” He Bai straightened up his tie while looking outside the car.
He Bai checked the time and shook his head, he reached out and straightened up the tie for He Bai, “No, we are not, this is a private party, maybe some close friends came early.”
He Bai nodded. They followed the servants to the party soon after the got off the car.
It was so festive in the hall, Christmas-themed decorations everywhere, with such fancy and well-organized catering on the table, guests were all seemed to having a blast, they were talking in twos and threes while enjoying the finger food, laughter could be heard all the time.
He Bai, who was a stranger to occasions like this, he tried so hard to not look like a bumpkin.
Jesus Christ! So many tycoon in show business were here, not to mention the first-tire producers and actors! Any paparazzo would be over the moon seeing what He Bai was seeing right now, any snap of this hall would make the headline for sure!
Yu Hui noticed this loving couple’s appearance, she paused her engaging conversation with her friends and walked towards them, she gave He Bai a big hug and kissed him on the cheek, “Bai, you did such an amazing job for the cover, you made me look so good! Thanks to you, C magazine Christmas issue was sold out everywhere, now they are printing additional copies, I love you so much!”
Seeing this, He Bai shammed jealousy and put on a poker face, he pulled He Bai back into his arms and wiped off the lipstick on He Bai’s cheek, looked at Yu Hui and said, “Sister Hui, Bai is mine.”
Yu Hui was amused by He Bai’s reaction.
He Bai, on the other hand, wanted to break free of Di Qiuhe’s arms and smooth things over by throwing a light joke, but before he came up with any good line, Ms. Yu Hui gave them a meaningful look with a touch of bantering, “look at you love birds, I’m fully aware Bai is yours, look at you, acting all protective and jealous, all right, I’ll leave you kids to it, have fun, I’ll make myself scarce, any questions, fell free come to me.”
Then she winked at He Bai and turned around, walking back to her friends.
He Bai was frozen on the spot.
He turned around and looked at Di Qiuhe.
Di Qiuhe wiped his cheek again, he didn’t stop until the lipstick was completely gone, and he explained, “as I said earlier, this is a private party thrown by Sister Hui, as a hostess, she is well aware of our relationship, she has figured out our relationship on the shooting set last time. Please rest assured, she knows what to say and what not to.”
Hearing this, He Bai recalled the meaningful smile Yu Hui gave him on the shooting set of C studio, he exclaimed in his heart, “Woman, this creature is born with incredible instinct, better not mess around with woman!”
Neither of these two was party animal, they showed up merely to say hi to Ms. Yu Hui, so they found a corner themselves to enjoy food and the atmosphere, they planned on leaving the party early and have some good rest for the night.
Yet they were joined by others several times while they took refuge at the corner themselves.
A famous actress came over and invited Di Qiuhe for a dance, Di Qiuhe turned her down politely, and another actress joined them, wanting to have a talk with Di Qiuhe, Di Qiuhe came up with an excuse and turned her down. A well-known scriptwriter brought over a glass of wine for Di Qiuhe, Di Qiuhe said he gotta drive and turned him down as well.
Seeing so many people came looking for this Mr. Popular, He Bai stepped back and looked Di Qiuhe up and down.
Di Qiuhe said in a hurry, “I don’t know them, I’m a nobody in this business, no way I know these big A-list celebrities.”
“How come they all came over to talk to you, is it because you are so pretty that they all wanna know you better? Look at that man, the way he talked to you.” He Bai said indifferently.
Di Qiuhe’s eyes were shining brightly, “Bai, just say you are jealous.”
