Chapter 289: Side Story Seven (1)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
Di Qiuhe was dumbfounded, he didn’t know what to say, he averted his gaze from He Bai to the drink, he checked the bottle and asked, “So is this the drink you are talking about? What exactly are the symptoms? Why are you so sure it’s poisonous?”
“I don’t know the exact symptoms, but I accidentally spilled some by a pond, a frog had some and died.” He Bai lied about the frog to make it sound more convincing. And he continued, “I’m sure it’s the drink, then I thought about you, so I rushed here to save your life, so, yeah, you owe me a thanks for saving your life.” with that he took a look at the porridge on the carpet, “maybe two lives.” well, to be accurate, maybe a lot of lives.
Di Qiuhe also took a glimpse at the porridge, he lowered his head and thought for a while, “But why didn’t you just call the police ans ask them to check on the drink? You come to my hotel and harass my bodyguards instead?”
“Harass”?
He Bai frowned, he swore he would have given this Childish Di a good beating if he dared to talk to him like this in the other life, but for now, he had to take a deep breath and said, “I’m afraid you will be poisoned before the police check the drink.”
“How do you know who I am and my address? This is a private trip, and I’ve been very cautious and low key the whole time, but you have come directly to the hotel and came to my suite?” Di Qiuhe kept throwing questions at He Bai.
He Bai was getting so impatient, he didn’t want to scare Di Qiuhe by saying the truth, ‘hey, I’m from the other life.’ so he kept silent.
Di Qiuhe wasn’t annoyed by the silence, he changed the subject, “It looks like you are very hostile to Assistant An?” then he looked at He Bai to see his reaction, “Don’t deny it, I saw it when you ‘accidentally’ knocked over the porridge.”
He Bai took a deep breath and rolled his eyes at Di Qiuhe, “Isn’t it common sense that you know someone is trying to poison you, you better not eat anything from anyone before you find out who it is?”
Di Qiuhe somehow found the way He Bai rolled his eyes at him pretty cute, and he wanted to poke at He Bai’s dimple, but his sense told him not to.
This was the first time that he was so tolerant to someone, just think about it, he didn’t know anything about this man who seemed to be rude to his subordinates and failed to justify himself. With that in mind, Di Qiuhe went to the bathroom.
Seeing Di Qiuhe’s receding figure, He Bai flipped off at his back.
The police arrived soon, the whole team of bodyguards were called out to cooperate with the police, Wang Boyi who had fallen asleep also walked out from his room to check what was going on, he didn’t see An Xixi in the hallway and he frowned slightly.
The police took the drink that He Bai said was poisonous, and they took a sample of the porridge from the carpet, they also asked He Bai and An Xixi a few questions. With that they took their leave saying they would inform He Bai and Di Qiuhe the results as soon as possible.
Di Qiuhe walked the police away and he told Wang Boyi to keep an eye on An Xixi and take away her phone before he gets the results.
Wang Boyi nodded, he clenched his fists and sighed. Di Qiuhe wouldn’t just give him this order, An Xixi must have done something horrible.
Wang Boyi took a deep breath, he felt he was overwhelmed by a surge exhaustion.
Di Qiuhe thought about that guy in his room, he walked back to his room with a spring in his steps, the bodyguards were all at a loss.
Someone was going to poison Mr. Di, but how come he looked … pretty cheerful?
Di Qiuhe put on a poker face when he entered his room, seeing He Bai still nestling in the sofa, he said, “The police has left, and I called a few people, chances are we will get the results tomorrow.”
Silence was the reply.
Di Qiuhe walked towards the guy on the sofa only to find he had already fallen asleep.
Di Qiuhe smiled, he stared at He Bai for quite a while and he tried to put him in a comfortable position.
“Qiuhe… …”
Di Qiuhe just touched He Bai’s shoulder when He Bai felt the familiar aura and murmured Di Qiuhe’s name, He Bai reached out his arms and wrapped his arms around Di Qiuhe’s neck. Di Qiuhe was too dumbfounded to move.
“Cuddle me, Childish Di.” demanded He Bai with dissatisfaction.
“Childish Di?” Di Qiuhe opened his eyes wide, “Is he calling me?”
Di Qiuhe’s heart was pounding, he tried to withdraw his arms but He Bai refused to let go, he even left a bite on Di Qiuhe’s arm. Di Qiuhe raised his hand, he touched He Bai’s cheek and finally he poked at He Bai’s dimple.
He Bai made a snort, it seemed like he wasn’t happy that he was pestered in his sleep, he rolled to the other side, geez, and the boy almost fell on the floor. Di Qiuhe acted promptly, he reached his arms and caught hold of He Bai.
He Bai was resting in Di Qiuhe’s arms, he could feel He Bai’s warm breath on his forearm, his heart was pounding, he looked at the young man who was sleeping like a baby, and he decided he might as well be a good pillow tonight. So he squatted on the floor and relaxed his body, letting He Bai sleep on his arms comfortably.
Seeing the man in his arms, Di Qiuhe felt like he had known this man for a long time, why would he have this feeling?
The bodyguards who were still standing outside waiting for taking He Bai to a different room were all confused, “Are they still talking?”
