Chapter 51: A Clap (2)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
Jiang Xiuwen texted back: kill him and eat him.
Di Qiuhe raised his eyebrows, then powered his cellphone off and picked up his chopsticks. Such a valuable time for him to cultivate brotherhood with the pup shouldn’t be disturbed.
The bathroom’s door opened when he had eaten half bowl of the noodles. He Bai, in a singlet and underpants, full of smell of soap, walked out while wiping his hairs dry. Di Qiuhe was stunned as shown in the way he held the chopsticks, but soon he recovered and ate the noodles faster.
“Are you full?” He Bai came up to Di and looked at the bowl. He frowned at Di’s devouring appetite, then took and opened a pack of noodles served with soy sauce out of his shopping bag, and poured some hot water and said, “It’s all my fault. You have to eat more than usual as you’re training every day. I would have stewed more noodles if I knew better. The noodle is pretty good. You can have a taste. And it doesn’t matter if you can’t finish it. I’ll finish the rest.”
Watching He’s proficient movement in dealing with instant noodles, Di Qiuhe wandered his eyes over He’s singlet.
With He Bai stooping to put down the water bottle, his broad singlet collar loosed, revealing almost half of his chest and two delicate nipples.
Crash.
The chopsticks in Di Qiuhe’s hand fell to the ground.
“You brat...” He Bai couldn’t help looking up at him, then picking up the chopsticks on the ground and threw them into the garbage can, and getting a new one for Di and telling him, “Don’t lose this one. We are running out our disposable chopsticks saved in dormitory.”
“In, in fact, it can be used if it is washed.” Di Qiuhe turned his head to avoid Di’s eyes, took over the new chopsticks and rubbed, fixed his eyes on the noodles’ bowl as he dared not turn around and stuttered, “Pup, even, even if there are only two of us, you’re still supposed to behave yourself.”
He Bai was confused. “What are you talking about?” He then reached his hands out and pulled out a sausage from the shopping bag. He unwrapped the package, took a bite and chewed, half leaning on the table and looking at Di Qiuhe.
The singlet was really loose that Di could even see the waist from the cuff once He’ hands reaching out, by the way, the thin hand holding sausage were really pretty, as well as the lips...
Di Qiuhe was engrossed in eating noodles at once, and his heart was burning again, but he was still dim about what was it for. What he only knew was that he didn’t know how to describe today’s pup, somewhere was wrong...
“You are not pup!” His eyes lit up all of a sudden, then he put down the chopsticks and put his hand on He Bai’s face, turning the face around and pinching the side of the face. “Tell me, are you wearing a mask? Where is the genuine pup? What have you done to him?”
What the hell?
He Bai rolled his eyes to him and pulled his hand away, then sliced the sausage into two halves which had bitten twice, stuffed the half bit one in mouth and the other half in Di Qiuhe’s mouth. And finally He Bai patted Di and asked, “When will your father come home?” It’s too late to find a ride here. Watch your time.” Di was afraid to look after the mischievous Childish Di. It was better to send Di away.
Di Qiuhe was stunned just like a bucket of cold water poured down on him, then he raised his hand pulling out the sausage from his mouth, looking at He in disbelief, “Are you chasing me away?”
He Bai gave him a gentle smile and said, “How could I? It’s just a reminder: you should go back early so as can have a ride. By the way, don’t forget your plan of evoking sympathy.”
The underwear, the singlet, the pleasant smell of soap, the heart-burning...all the manifold feelings faded away. Di Qiuhe calmed down right away, moved his eyes away from He’s dimple, and bowed his head and looked at the noodles in the bowl. Then his voice lowered, “You don’t want me to stay at all.”
“...” What was the matter with such a sudden chagrin?
“I had sold the downtown apartment.” Di Qiuhe put the sausage in the bowl, picked up the chopsticks again and stirred the noodle soup. “I know that my father is in City B, but he doesn’t want to see me. After all, he has to rely on the Qin family to stabilize Huangdu. To do this, he must first stabilize my stepmother, and that’s why he can’t meet me--the eldest son, who is hated by the stepmother...”
He Bai dedicated to watch his performance.
“I have to stay in the villa where I met with you last time if I go back to City B, but it’s empty and dirty, I
” He took a soft sigh, managed to smile at He Bai, followed by a bitter curl of his mouth. “I’m so miserable, right? I could only talk to you even if I come back.”
Clap.
He Bai raised hand and slapped on Di’s cheek.
Di Qiuhe was stunned in his sad expression.
“A mosquito.” He Bai withdrew his hand, showed the mosquito’s body in his palm and blew it off. He looked at Di up and down, and turned to find some electric mosquito repellent.
“You...” Di Qiuhe was exasperated once again and then the feeling moved to his hand. His itchy hand was intended to hold and beat the pup.
“Congratulations. I’ll let you stay for you put on a genuine performance.” Then He Bai plugged in the electric mosquito repellent, turned around and climbed onto Niu Junjie’s bed, rolled up and held down the mattress. And next he dragged the chair over to the window below the balcony, laid down the mattress to have it a sunbath, and returned to the wardrobe to get out a clean sheet and quilt cover and threw them on his bed. Finally, he climbed up and changed the sheet and quilt cover in a skilled manner.
Di Qiuhe looked up at his thin legs stretching out of the bed. He had a little expectation as well as fear, and he finally asked, “What are you doing?”
“Make your bed.” He Bai changed the clean sheet and quilt cover, took up the old ones and put them out of bed. He then went to the washstand and put them in a bucket and said to Di Qiuhe who followed him, “You can stay in my bed, and I in Lao San’s. Such a sunny day should dry up the sheet and quilt.”
Di Qiuhe nodded in amazement and looked at him arranging everything in a systematic manner. He was filled with an inexplicable mood little by little, and then he came up to He and apple-polished, “What can I do for you?” Actually, we can sleep in a bed so that you don’t need to wash these sheets.” It’s well for brothers to sleep together and talk through the night.
“Are you sure the single bed can fit us two?” He Bai started pouring washing powder into the bucket and looked back at Di. “Do you want to help me?”
Di Qiuhe was suspecting the possibility of them sleeping together, then he nodded without any hesitation.
“Then you shall finish the noodles, then pour out the water in the bowl, and finally add some seasonings to keep eating.” He Bai splashed the water on hands to Di’s face, pressed his shoulder and turned him around when he closed his eyes, and pushed him into the dormitory. “Shut up and keep quiet until you’re full.”
Di Qiuhe obeyed, raised his hand to wipe off the water on his face. Di looked back at He Bai after he took two steps, who was focusing on washing. He couldn’t help smiling and humming back to the dormitory, going on eating noodles in a good appetite.
He Bai heard the gibbering tune and rolled his eyes with a laugh. Di seemed like a child as expected as Di always did whatever he liked. A naive Childish Di.
Ten minutes later, Di Qiuhe came with the noodles.
“Finished?” He Bai threw the washed sheet into the basin and continued to wash pillowcase and quilt cover.
“No.” Di Qiuhe showed He the bowl, then scooped some noodles with chopsticks and fed He in an upright look, he then said, “It was you said that you’ll finish it if I cannot. Here you are.”
Nevertheless, He overestimated the mental age of Di Qiuhe.
He Bai tilted his head back and said, “Put it on the table, please, I’ll eat it after washing these.”
“Then it may be cold.” Di frowned.
He Bai explained, “It doesn’t matter as it is dry mixed noodles.”
“But you’re sick. That’s not good for you.” Di Qiuhe did not give in, and stretched forward the chopsticks.
“...”
They stalemated for half a minute, then He Bai made a compromise and opened his mouth to eat the noodles. He was regretting that he had taken such a childish guy in his dormitory.
Di Qiuhe looked at He’s cheeks while He chewing the noodles, and he was flirted once again. Although the chopsticks were new, the noodles were half eaten by him. Now the pup had not loathed to eat the noodles that he had eaten without hesitation...the pup admired himself as expected! To such an extent that didn’t mind his saliva at all!
Being in a delighted mood, his IQ, which was suppressed by EQ, was finally went back to normal level, then he said, “Don’t worry, I had heard the gossips online. Jia family will then issue a statement, explaining those birthday photos. I will never allow the Saint Elephant Studio and online gossip to impact your work.”
He Bai stunned, then he asked after swallowing the noodles, “Did you call Jia family again?”
“Yeah.” Di Qiuhe rolled up another bite of noodles and fed it to He, telling He in an unintentional manner, “I called Elder Jia. Besides, Miss Jia has just grown up. It is too young to marry her off in Jia family’s view.”
