One Useless Rebirth Chapter 71

Chapter 71 - Why does the Bird Go Missing? (4)

Di Qiuhe paused to consider He Bai’s words, his eyes sparkling, and felt him out, “Why? A much-reported romance among the costars can facilitate the movie promotion. It’s a usual tactic of the entertainment world.”

‘However, it’s not a tactic but a trap.’

“Qiuhe, you’d best have loft aspirations and prove yourself via your ability instead of a romance.” He Bai said in all sincerity. Thinking of those actors who had an affair with Dong Ni and was fixed good by the big shot, he felt genuine compassion for Di Qiuhe and explained it to him, “As you said, Dong Ni was someone’s mistress. If you have a romance with her, the man may be irritated and can sort you out… Now that you’re no staffer of Huangdu, you have to proceed with extreme caution. Do you understand?”

In the last life, if the big shot hadn’t been brought to justice, those dark secrets about Dong Ni wouldn’t have been made to public, and Di Qiuhe could have been down on his luck. After all, the news had hit the headlines on political columns rather than entertainment ones, and people who had close contact with Dong Ni, without exception, were interrogated, so was Di Qiuhe. Having suffered from an unexpected misfortune, Di Qiuhe got heartfelt sympathy from a number of netizens, who shed tears of compassion for him.

It never occurred to He Bai that his rebirth actually led to an earlier encounter of Di Qiuhe and that scourge. He was at fault.

Di Qiuhe was kind of disappointed to hear He Bai’s explanation and to see his sympathetic look. He couldn’t help but fork another blueberry away from his plate and replied, “Don’t worry, I have a sense of propriety. You may rest assured that, with my step-mother keeping her eye on me, I daren’t have any romance.” In addition, since he fell in love with Little Puppy, it’s necessary for him to draw the line at romance.

He Bai’s attention was immediately diverted away from his behavior of snatching the blueberry. He asked, “Your step-mother? Why?”

“I am the eldest son of Di family.” Di Qiuhe deliberately forked a piece of shrimp meat and flashed it in front of He Bai’s eyes. He didn’t had it until the act gave rise to He Bai’s discontent and answered in a satirical way, “This identity itself is of great value. In addition to inheriting Huangdu Company, I can also choose to form a matrimonial alliance with another wealthy and influential clan. Taking the power of my future wife’s family into consideration, my father would be more likely to be on my side, which runs counter to my stepmother’s wishes. In order to prevent this from happening, she will ruin my reputation by hook or by crook so that ladies of noble birth would despise me and disdain to marry me. To that ends, what do you think my stepmother will do?” said Di Qiuhe when he forked another piece of shrimp meat to flash it before He Bai.

He Bai rolled his eyes at Di Qiuhe, forked a piece of shrimp meat into his mouth from Di’s plate and swallowed it smilingly in reprisal for his former act, replying, “It’s quite easy to guess. If I were her, I would definitely make up innumerable romances about you and find ways to convince the crowd that you have a bunch of notorious gossips girlfriends.”

When He Bai spoke of this, a long list of Di Qiuhe’s gossip girlfriends in the last life sprang to mind. He couldn’t help but sigh with contempt for strife occurred in those rich families. Glancing at shrimp meat in his dish, He Bai readily cut Di Qiuhe the other half of the cake and said gently to the guy who maintained a good name, “Help yourself to it.” Poor kid, he must be full up before he could score a triumph over adversity.

Di Qiuhe raised his eyebrows and stared at He Bai for a while when he reached one hand out to pinch He Bai’s cheek, “You are so cute, Little Puppy.”

“Cute, cute your ass.” He Bai pushed his hand away and smeared cream over his face.

When Di Qiuhe filled up, He Bai took him straight to the airport and booked a room in a nearby hotel.

Di Qiuhe’s face darkened, “How could you drive me away, Little Puppy?” Be that as it may, he didn’t like being a burden on his sweetheart and followed He Bai obediently into the hotel.

“Do you honestly think I’ll drive you away?” He Bai turned his head and rolled his eyes at Di Qiuhe, pushing him into the room. Then he ran a bath for Di Qiuhe, snatched his luggage, searched his pajamas out and pushed him into the bathroom, “Go take a bath and then have a sound sleep. You’ve had dark circles under your eyes.”

Di Qiuhe was taken aback.

“I’ll wake you up when it’s time for dinner. What time are you leaving?”

“Four o’clock in the morning. I have to reach the set by eight.” answered Di Qiuhe in front of the bathtub when he was pushed into the bathroom.

On hearing what Di Qiuhe said, He Bai gave him a pat on the head and said unhappily, “Since you’re going to act at eight o’clock tomorrow, you shouldn’t have taken me to watch a movie or play games and left in the small hours. Don’t you know it’s detrimental to your health? Tell me, when did you knock off yesterday?”

Di Qiuhe was about to speak.

“You said you wouldn’t lie to me again.”

Di Qiuhe bit his tongue.

“Ten o’clock?” He Bai made a conservative guess.

Di Qiuhe laid his clothes down and pushed He Bai out, “I’m going to take a bath. Please go out.”

He Bai clung on the door case and replied, his teeth clenched, “Don’t tell me you finished your work at midnight and just slept for a few hours before you got on the plane!”

Di Qiuhe tried to pull his hand away and kept avoiding eye contact with him.

… A thought crossed He Bai’s mind. He roared, “You must have had a long night! You told me in the video that you were acting the movie and thus missed my call, but I called you at about 10 p.m. and you obviously talked to me on video at dawn! Besides, you wore a vest and pajama bottoms then, and your hair was still wet. No doubt that you just finished a bath and were ready to sleep!”

Speechless, Di Qiuhe stepped forward, carried He Bai in his arms as though he was a child and took him out of the bathroom. After that, he loosened his grip, ran back to the bathroom and closed the door, shouting in a seemingly guilty voice, “I’m bathing. It’s too loud to catch your words!”

What the hell!

He Bai was driven up the wall and returned the roar immediately, “Be quick! Then go to bed! Staying up for acting and fatigued by the journey, you is very likely to die young!”

There was a brief silence inside, and then a small voice came.

“I’ll try my best to outlive you.”

“Don’t wish me evil!” He Bai answered back and yelled, “If you dare talk nonsense again, I’ll cut your bird off!”

Di Qiuhe who was taking off his pants immediately caught hold of his belt and whispered after a hesitation, “You have nothing to use when it’s cut off…”

“What did you say?” He Bai was all ears.

“Nothing. I say I would like a poached chicken for dinner.” answered Di Qiuhe. He took his clothes off, headed for the bathtub and put his head into the water to hide his blushes. After that, Di Qiuhe gave a sudden bellow of laughter.

He had He Bai’s forgiveness… What a nice thing!

He Bai won the lottery, became rich, and reached the pinnacle of life. Then, he inadvertently took a picture of the Film Emperor Di Qiuhe being killed. And after reporting this case to the police, he was reborn in a midst of confusion. He Bai: I don’t have any horrible relatives to abuse. Why was I reborn? Di Qiuhe: But I do. He Bai: I also haven’t been betrayed or harmed by anyone. Why was I reborn? Di Qiuhe: But I have. He Bai: I just want to have some money to live freely and eat well. I already achieved that goal, so why was I reborn? Di Qiuhe: I have money, but don’t live freely or well. He Bai angrily flips the table: So what’s the use of my rebirth! Just to make me suffer again?! Di Qiuhe (Holding and Touching He Bai): Be my lover, you’re only responsible for eating “lollipops,” you won’t eat any bitterness. He Bai: Leave! So basically, this is a sweet story of a naive and cute person who goes back to the past, flaps his little butterfly wings, and helps the man who used to be last life’s big Film Emperor, but in this life, is still a miserable Great Devil King, to walk towards the pinnacle of life (while also dragging someone home)!
