The building next to the tower was a five-star hotel, when He Bai arrived there is was approaching midnight, he was so anxious to just rush upstairs and check on Di Qiuhe.
According to his memory and the layout of the hotel, he was fairly sure Di Qiuhe’s suite was on the 37th floor, so he pressed the button on the lift.
To his surprise, he was stopped by some bodyguards when he arrived at the 37th floor, “Excuse me, sir, this whole floor is reserved.” said the bodyguards impatiently, He Bai knew they had misunderstood him seeing the camera in his hands.
“Gentleman, listen, I’m not paparazzo, I’m a photographer, Mr. Di bumped into me this afternoon, and our drink got mixed, I need to talk to him as soon as possible… …”
“You are the worst liar I have ever seen.” retorted the bodyguard, “Please leave, or I will call the police.”
Fuxx!
He Bai was furious.
Why did people keep mistaking him as a paparazzo, just because he had a camera in hand?
In that life, Di Qiuhe thought he was a paparazzo who was stalking him, and now he was back in his previous life, Di Qiuhe’s bodyguards accused him of being a paparazzo.
However, it was not time to over think that, he had more important thing to do.
“Gentleman, please, I am a photographer, I can show you my ID and I can leave my camera with you, I really need to talk to Di Qiuhe! This is urgent!”
“Wow, you are really not taking no for an answer.” two bodyguards lost their patience, they cornered He Bai back to the lift.
Little did He Bai expect his big plan would get delayed by two bodyguards, he was getting more and more anxious as time was ticking, soon he was going to lose the chance to save Di Qiuhe’s life.
Right at that moment, the other lift arrived.
“Mr. Di.” other bodyguards greeted Di Qiuhe.
Hearing that, He Bai’s eyes sparkled and he came up with an idea, “Di Qiuhe!” shouted He Bai, “I’m the person bumped into you at the restaurant, and our drinks got mixed up, I found your drink was poisoned, I need to talk to you!”
The two bodyguards were provoked by He Bai, they were about to tackle him.
He Bai dodged, but it was of no avail.
“Let go of him.”
Di Qiuhe walked towards them, He Bai raised his head, but what met his eyes were Di Qiuhe’s cold and inquiring eyes, He Bai’s heart sank, soon he collected his thoughts and continued, “Di Qiuhe, your drink is right here, feel free to have it checked.”
Di Qiuhe looked He Bai up and down, then he stared at He Bai’s left cheek, “Now, smile for me.” He Bai squinted his eyes and asked “pardon” with disbelief. His dimple was showing as he asked that question.
Seeing the dimple, Di Qiuhe withdrew his gaze and smiled, he signaled the bodyguards to let go of He Bai, “Yeah, right, I remember you, come follow me.”
The two bodyguards exchanged a look, they were both confused what on earth was going on, but they obeyed what Di Qiuhe just said.
He Bai walked out of the elevator and followed Di Qiuhe, Wang Boyi and An Xixi were walking towards them, seeing that woman, he frowned and picked up his pace, he needed to protect Qiuhe from that An Xixi.
Di Qiuhe entered his suite first, He Bai followed, then he turned around and looked at An Xixi, “Excuse me, I need to have a private conversation with Di Qiuhe, please wait outside.”
An Xixi was dumbfounded, how brazen this paparazzo was! Wang Boyi also frowned as he didn’t appreciate the way Di Qiuhe talked to his girlfriend.
An Xixi looked at Di Qiuhe who just turned around, “Mr. Di, this man is so suspicious, do you really want to have a private conversation with him? Please think twice.”
Di Qiuhe’s eyes travelled among the three, “You… …”
Bang!
He Bai closed the door!
He pushed Di Qiuhe back into the suite and he followed promptly, the two stared at each other in the dark for a few seconds, Di Qiuhe coughed, “Ahem, the room key is in my assistant’s hand, but we need some light. I’ll ask him to come in.”
Wang Boyi was knocking on the door and tried to swipe the room key from outside, He Bai opened the door, he smiled at Wang Boyi and grabbed the room key from his hand. With that he closed the door, again.
Beep.
He Bai inserted the room key, and the room was ablaze. He looked at Di Qiuhe and said, “Here, here’s the light you asked for.”
Di Qiuhe had never seen anyone who treated someone else’s room as his own home court.
The two were both silent, He Bai was at a loss of words seeing a mature version of Childish Di standing in front of him, and Di Qiuhe was just looking at He Bai with a meaningful smile, he was now intrigued to see what this young man was up to.
He Bai thought he had now isolated Di Qiuhe from An Xixi, Di Qiuhe should be safe now.
Soon Di Qiuhe’s phone rang, so he withdrew his gaze from He Bai, “Yeah, I’m fine, you guys had a long day, we might as well call it a night then. Yeah, all right, bring me the meds then.” then he hung up the phone.
“Take a seat.” Di Qiuhe signaled the sofa at He Bai.
“Okay.”
Seeing the cold attitude from Di Qiuhe, He Bai tried hard to suppress the sadness surging in his heart, ‘It’s fine, he doesn’t know me in this life.’
After He Bai was seated, Di Qiuhe went to open the door for An Xixi would bring Di Qiuhe’s meds soon. He Bai’s eyes were like glued on Di Qiuhe’s back, he stared at Di Qiuhe as he took every step.
Di Qiuhe noticed He Bai’s hot stare, somehow he found this young man very interesting and he didn’t mind the rude behaviour from shouting in the hallway to pushing him into the suite.
