NOVEL WEB Di Qiuhe walked up to the stage with a polite smile, he shook hands with Liu Lange and hugged Yu Hui before he walked to the Mic. Then he looked at He Bai who was sitting in the audience holding the award in hand.
He Bai shook his head and he was like, ‘I told you to be subtle!’
“First all of, I’m so humbled to be here, thanks to the committee for presenting me this award.” hmm, a good opening remarks for an acceptance speech.
Di Qiuhe averted the gaze from He Bai and swept the peer actors, then he delivered the speech that Xing Shaofeng wrote for him, everything went smoothly.
He Bai now heaved a sigh, the killing intent in his eyes disappeared, ‘Childish Di knows what he is doing after all.’
This ceremony tonight was the first among all the ceremonies that they need to attend, if Di Qiuhe said or did something stupid, surely they would be harassed for the rest ceremonies.
Di Qiuhe gave his acceptance successfully with a touch of humor and self-evident gratitude, then he paused a bit and looked at He Bai again, “Back in the days, I see life as a joke due to some personal reasons, I was just waiting for death day by day. I didn’t find the value of life until I met that special one in my life.”
He Bai’s smile disappeared, he glared at Di Qiuhe and kept shooting him warning looks while sweat beads oozing on his forehead.
‘Childish Di, you promised me you would be subtle and won’t say anything stupid!’
“Again, thanks to the committed and the judge panel, this means a lot to me” Di Qiuhe wrapped up his speech and bowed to the audience, then he walked off the stage amid the applause and the curious looks of the audience.
He Bai felt like that wrap up was too rushed, quite a cliffhanger that Di Qiuhe had set.
‘It is done? Just like that? A special one in my life? Who is that special person?’
‘Are you kidding me?’
He Bai refused to admit he actually feel a little bit disappointed in his heart, just a touch.
Di Qiuhe sat back on his seat and leaned towards He Bai, “Hey, puppy, how was my speech? Awesome, yeah?”
“Yes.” He Bai avoided making eye contact with this goofy goose, he just said yes in a casual way.
Di Qiuhe found that amusing, he smiled seeing the way He Bai pretended nothing had happened and everything was fine, he leveled up a bit and asked, “I didn’t say anything stupid on stage, I deserve a medal.”
He Bai pretended he was drawn to the performance on stage and didn’t hear what Di Qiuhe just said.
Di Qiuhe raised his eyebrows and leaned even closer to He Bai, “Puppy, just tell me, are you feeling a bit disappointed that I didn’t say you are that special person in my life?”
He Bai took a deep breath and kept silent.
“If that’s the case, I’ll pop the question next time I’m on stage.”
‘Hmm, for late night snack, I’ll have grilled goose (Qiuhe).’
“Do you remember the matching suits we tried the other day, they are pretty good, I’ve prepared matching ties as well, one blue one red, you pick a color. Wait, this year is my Chinese zodiac anniversary year, grandpa says I’d better have some red for auspicious blessings.”
‘Goose (Qiuhe) satay sounds good too.’
“Grandpa said this year I should wear some red jocks and socks, and they need to be purchased by my significant other or my close family member, puppy, when are you going shopping for me?”
Director Lin Mo who was sitting next to Di Qiuhe slightly coughed.
He Bai blushed crimson!
“Shut up, Childish Di!” he clapped his hand on He Bai’s mouth and whispered, “From this moment on, you say one word, I will take off one piece of clothes, two words, two pieces. Feel free to continue.”
“No way!”
“Two words, two pieces.” said He Bai with a poker face.
He untied his tie and took off his suit, then he put his hand on the shirt, like a threat, ‘Go on, I’m ready to take off this piece too.’
Seeing that, Di Qiuhe covered his mouth and caught He Bai’s suit.
He Bai turned sideways and gave Di Qiuhe the cold treatment.
The person sat next to He Bai felt the air had frozen somehow.
The two went back to the car after the ceremony, Xing Shaofeng was waiting for them in the car.
“I know you guys are going to make it public soon.” Xing Shaofeng put his laptop away and said slowly, “I hope I could get a clear message before you actually do it, thus I could have more time to prepare.”
Di Qiuhe looked at He Bai who refused to make eye contact with him and cleared his throat.
He Bai still was wearing a poker face.
Di Qiuhe looked at Xing Shaofeng and apologized, “I’m sorry for what I have said on stage, leaving you and your team working overtime for me.”
“No problem, we are quite experienced now.” Xing Shaofeng had sensed something was going on between the two, he tried to comforted them instead of venting, “It’s completely fine, this is a big moment for you and your career, people would understand.”
Di Qiuhe nodded and he kept staring at He Bai.
Seeing that, Xing Shaofeng got off the car and left the love birds some space knowingly.
Di Qiuhe sat next to He Bai and wrapped a blanket on him, “I’m sorry, puppy, I shouldn’t have teased you like that.”
He Bai looked at him and asked, “What have you done wrong?”
“I shouldn’t tease you, especially on such an occasion.” said Di Qiuhe apologetically with those innocent puppy eyes sparkling.
