Chapter 253: The Worst Nightmare (1)Translator: Sissy That Walk
On the first day of He Bai’s running away from home, he felt so guilty and he was so worried for Di Qiuhe.
On the second day of He Bai’s running away from home, his fever was gone and he was feeling better in general. And Di Qiuhe really took a turn for the better, not only had he behaved himself on the award ceremony, but also he had worked with Xing Shaofeng on posting a well-phrased Weibo.
On the third day of He Bai’s running away from home, Di Qiuhe was scheduled to attend another live event. He Bai snuggled in the sofa and watched the event on TV while having some chips, hmm, “C’est la vie”.
On the fourth day of He Bai’s running away from home, he felt he could have a couple of more free days like this.
White and Whiter: do you mind going to the award ceremony of “Cheng’s Army” by yourself? I don’t really feel like going, may go out for some dinner.
The next second he got a video call request from A Bird Born in Autumn.
He Bai rejected.
Then he typed: It’s going to snow soon, I’m so attempted to just grab my cameras and have fun in the snow. It’s been so long since I have the chance to take snaps in the snow.
A Bird Born in Autumn: I’ll come with you after the ceremony, I will be worried if you are going by yourself.
He Bai beamed at the screen and typed: Don’t worry, I’m not going by myself, grandpa had asked two bodyguards to come with me.
This time He Bai didn’t get a reply until a few minutes had passed.
It was a complaint rather than a reply, A Bird Born in Autumn: You’d prefer taking a bodyguard?
Di Qiuhe cracked a wicked smile, and typed: of course, grandpa’s bodyguards are all professional fighters, and you are not much of a fighter I believe.
Di Qiuhe put down his phone and pressed his forehead, then he called Hu Zhao, “Hey, Uncle Hu, you and grandpa know where Bai is the whole time?
“Yes, a thoughtful and considerate kid like Bai doesn’t have the heart to worry me and your grandpa, he contacts us every day to check on us and let us know he is doing well.” answered Hu Zhao, then he realized something and comforted Di Qiuhe, “Qiuhe, good boy, don’t worry too much about Bai, he is fine and he is well taken care of.”
“Uncle Hu, please tell me where is… …”
“Whoops, look at the time, I’m cooking a soup for Bai in the kitchen and it almost slipped my mind, please excuse me. I need to ask the driver to send it to Bai, a nice warm soup is the best cure for his cold.” with that Hu Zhao hang up the phone.
Beep beep beep… …
Di Qiuhe shook his head and put down the phone, he stared at the screen for such a long time, then he typed slowly: Bai, I miss you.
Soon he got a reply.
White and Whiter: Sweet talk isn’t working on me today, I’m not going back home today, and I’m not going to “Cheng’s Army” award ceremony. I have seen through you, you are gonna be just like the previous ceremonies, you invited me over and you say something silly, Childish Di, I’m not falling for that today.
Pouty face for Di Qiuhe.
This winter… … hmm, such a rough winter.
It indeed snowed the next day, He Bai went out with the bodyguards in high spirits. He was so excited he finally got the chance to do some snow photography.
“Guys, let’s go get some chocolates and heating pads before we head to the mountains, it’s gonna be so cold, we need to get prepared.”
He Bai asked one bodyguard to park the car, and he took the other one to the supermarket.
Seeing the two bodyguards were not wearing enough layers, He Bai bought them gloves and scarfs. He even bought three hot chocolates at the cafe.
“Guys, thank you so much for keeping me company on such a cold day, here, have a hot drink.”
When they were about to finish the drink and leave, a familiar figure suddenly flashed by, He Bai held his camera high and took a few snaps instinctively.
One bodyguards turned back and looked around, there was no one suspicious, so he asked He Bai with concern, “Mr. He, is everything all right?”
He Bai checked the photos he just took, he didn’t quite catch the familiar figure, there were only some pedestrians and shops in the photo. He Bai frowned and shook his head, he put down the camera and answered, “I thought I saw someone, never mind. Anyways, are we ready?”
As soon as the three left, a woman who was hiding behind a giant billboard showed up and sighed, she dialed a number, “Where are you, madam?”
“Where the hell are you, you are late.”
“Boyi just left the house, that’s why I’m running late today, and I just bumped into… …”
“Enough, I have no time for excuses. I’ve got a tail today, not a good day to see you anyways, bye, let’s rearrange.”
“Please wait, how about my father? And those photos?”
“I will talk to you later.”
Beep beep beep.
The woman bit her lip and frowned, she took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She put her phone in her pocket and looked around, then she left in a hurry after making sure she was safe.
To return to our little He Bai, he was now back in the hotel and enjoying his hard work — all those spectacular snow photos he just took in the mountain.
He was now a little bit slow at retouching due to lack of practise, it was approaching midnight when he finished. He yawned and stretched, nodded in appreciation looking at the screen.
He replied Di Qiuhe’s message after he finished the last photo, a photo caught his attention when he was about to turn off the laptop, it was a photo he just deleted.
He took that photo when he thought he saw someone after he bought the drink, he zoomed the photo and looked at it over and over, but he got nothing. He shook his head and turned off the laptop, time for bed.
He heard the tick tock from a giant pendulum clock on the top of a building, it was late at night. Suddenly a familiar figure leapt down from the building.
