Chap 279
: Side Story Two (1)Translator: Sissy That Walk
Half a year later, Di Qiuhe’s movie “Wolf Venom” was released and He Bai’s studio was established. He Bai decided to hold a photography exhibition to celebrate.
“Let’s make it an international tour, shall we? We can take advantage of this opportunity to visit the countries where we spent our honeymoon.” suggested Di Qiuhe with a cheeky smile.
He Bai squinted at Di Qiuhe, “Have you read the screenplays Xing Shaofeng just sent you?”
“Yeah,” answered Di Qiuhe, then he sighed, “What a shame none of them looks interesting, it looks like I’ll be free… …”
He Bai produced a screenplay from a pile of photo frames and threw it to Di Qiuhe, “Here, this one is a gem, just prepare well, it starts shooting in one month or so.”
Di Qiuhe stared at the screenplay in his hands with disbelief, “Why is this one here? I have… …”
“Yeah, you have given this screenplay to your colleague.” said He Bai in a cold tone, “Good job, Childish Di, how dare you, rejecting such a good play behind Shaofeng’s back! You are too rich to work? Is that why? Don’t get ahead of yourself, I have all your cards, and you are living on allowance from me!”
Di Qiuhe raised his hand, “Puppy, I can explain.”
“Shoot.”
Di Qiuhe rolled his eyes, trying to come up with a good one, but he gave up. “Ahem, I mean, you are absolutely right and I love you.”
He Bai raised his eyebrows and went, “Quit your sweet talk, it ani’t working for me!”
Di Qiuhe decided to solve this with body language, he bent down and gave He Bai a kiss shower.
Ten minutes later, He Bai finally managed to push Di Qiuhe away and he went upstairs to get some work done.
“Shaofeng, Bai just bit me on my upper lip, I cannot shoot anything recently, I remember there’s a talk show that you want me to go, I’m afraid I have to take a rain check about that one.”
“No problem,” replied Xing Shaofeng, he was not surprised about Di Qiuhe’s decision.
“How about the movie we’ve talked about?”
“Wait till Bai’s exhibition finishes.” replied Di Qiuhe, then he genuinely apologized, “I’m sorry if I have bored you, Shaofeng.”
“No worries,” Xing Shaofeng nestled in his chair and played with his pen, “Trust me, I love working with you and Bai, I enjoy what I’m doing.”
“Thank you so much Shaofeng, we will definitely make sure you will always enjoy it.” replied Di Qiuhe with a smile, then he hung up after some bantering.
After the call, Di Qiuhe made He Bai a milkshake and went upstairs.
“Are you really not going to shoot this film?” asked He Bai, there was a touch of shame in his tone, you could tell he really liked this screenplay.
In the previous life, this movie was also a huge success in Di Qiuhe’s career and won him great recognition home and abroad.
It would be such a shame if… …
“In all honesty, I don’t think it’s a great idea, sure, this movie will win me acclaim, but at the moment what I need is some diversity rather than some acclaim.” Di Qiuhe took the milkshake from He Bai’s hand and finished the last sip.
He grabbed He Bai’s hand and coaxed, “I used to take every opportunity that I’ve got, because I can’t afford to wait for a better one, Qin Li and Di Bian had their eyes on me all the time, and I had to overwork. But now, I see it differently, I need to balance work and life.”
He Bai found it so convincing, yeah, why hadn’t he seen it from that perspective?
“Plus, ‘Wolf Venom’ just hit the cinema, I just got some fame internationally, what I want for myself is a masterpiece to top that. The screenplay you picked for me, don’t get me wrong, I love it, but it’s not the best choice for me at the moment.” explained Di Qiuhe gently, “And don’t worry, puppy, I’m not going to be a slacker, I love my career.”
He Bai was totally persuaded, he took a look at Di Qiuhe’s upper lip and felt more sorry, he threw himself at Di Qiuhe and apologized, “I’m sorry Qiuhe, I wasn’t thinking it that way.”
He Bai kept forgetting Di Qiuhe now had a different life from his previous life, he was a huge success in both show business and business circles. And Di Qiuhe could afford to pick a movie that really interest him.
“No no, that’s all right, that’s why we are communicating.” Di Qiuhe hugged He Bai back and kissed him on his earlobe and cheek as a comfort, then he continued, “but I feel a little bit sad.”
He Bai felt more guilty, he kissed Di Qiuhe and apologized again, “I’m sorry Qiuhe, I won’t just bossing you around ever again.”
“No, it’s not because of that.” Di Qiuhe lowered his head and showed him a page of the screenplay, “Look, look at these intimate scenes!”
He Bai took a glimpse at the pages and his face darkened.
“No! I changed my mind! I must check all the screenplays that you like!” he gritted his teeth and said, “No intimate scene! If you have to, you need to have doubles!”
A touch of smirk flashed across Di Qiuhe’s eyes, he asked deliberately, “But you said you won’t just bossing me around ever again.”
“I’m not just bossing you around, I’m seriously bossing you around!” He Bai knew he was getting more and more jealous, but he didn’t feel bad about it, Di Qiuhe asked for it.
Di Qiuhe cupped He Bai’s face and said in an earnest manner, “Puppy, if I’m not doing any intimate scene or even making out scene, that basically rules out ninety percent of all the movies.”
Yeah, what Di Qiuhe said was absolutely right.
