On the first of May, Di Qiuhe took He Bai to the grand premiere of ’s Army>.
He Bai of course got the front seat row, he also took his camera with him, other reporters trying so hard to secure their spots in the back all exclaimed how unfair life could be in their hearts. He Bai’s presence had Di Qiuhe peek at his row fairly often, the hardcore fans who bought front row tickets all thought he was having interactions with them.
He Bai aimed his camera directly at Di Qiuhe when he shot another affectionate look at him, and he secretly flipped Di Qiuhe off.
Di Qiuhe’s smile got bigger, he was well aware puppy flared up due to his non stop stare, hence he averted his gaze and suppressed his laughter, looking at Jiang Guanshan who was giving a speech on the stage attentively.
“OMG, OMG, Qiuqiu was making eye contact with me, wasn’t he? He must have seen the merch toy in my hand. How cute is he when he suppressed his laughter just now!”
“Hush hush, quiet, we spent big money for these front row tickets, let’s behave ourselves.”
Hearing what the fans were talking about, He Bai frowned, he glared at Di Qiuhe who was in the spotlight, he cringed, trying to make himself invisible.
The pre-press conference finished after half an hour, the crew members all took their seats and were ready to watch the movie. Di Qiuhe sat next to He Bai and he grabbed his hand after the venue’s lights were off.
Di Qiuhe smirked and grabbed He Bai harder, he leaned closer and was about to give him a kiss.
He Bai’s eyes were wide open, he withdrew his hands yet he failed, he had no other option but to kick him on the foot.
The movie started and it lighted up the front row, He Bai withdrew his hand again, Di Qiuhe pretended he was letting go of him, then he promptly grabbed He Bai by the arm, now He Bai was nestling in his arm.
“Humph.”
Cheeky Di Qiuhe breathed in He Bai’s ear.
He Bai shook his body and pushed him away, then he turned around and whispered to Dong Ni who was sitting next to him.
Poor Dong Ni felt the “death stare” from Di Qiuhe, she was screaming in her heart, she was a changed innocent young actress now, she was not interested in provoking Di Qiuhe in any possible way. And look at the love birds, Jesus Christ! What were they thinking! He Bai, the so-called reporter, was sitting between the male lead Di Qiuhe and the female lead herself, was that a practical arrangement? Surely people could sense something! If she knew better, she would have listened to her sugar daddy and stayed away from show business.
The movie officially started after a gunshot sound.
Silence reigned the whole venue after the gunshot in the scene, people were absorbed in the movie and could not take their eyes off the screen.
He Bai was drawn to the screen too, he had read the scripts before, but it was so exciting to finally see the adaption in another form, and this was the hard work of Di Qiuhe, which practically marked the beginning of an era for Di Qiuhe. Di Qiuhe died while he was still shooting this film in the previous life, while in this life, he finished this movie and everyone got to watch it.
This boded well, it surely was the beginning of Di Qiuhe’s era, he clenched his fists.
Di Qiuhe looked sideways at his puppy, seeing puppy’s sparkling eyes amid the lighting from the screen, he caught hold of He Bai’s fists and played with his fingers, then he held He Bai’s hand with their fingers interlaced.
On the screen, rookie police officer Cheng Jun lost his master who had nurtured him in a shoot-out with the drug dealers. That was the third time he had to say goodbye to people he loved, the first time was to his grandpa, the second time was to his dad, now it was his master.
Cheng Jun stood at the gravestone of his master’s, he saluted to the gravestone, the he left resolutely for yet another fight.
Three months later, the rookie police officer Cheng Jun also became a martyr, while a new drug dealer called Lil Cheng emerged along the territorial boundaries. Lil Cheng looked like a strong manly man, yet he was an absolute pushover, an easy prey to anyone in the game.
He was beaten up, he was bullied, he was robbed… … he thoroughly reformed himself when he was on the verge of starving to death. Then he joined a drug trafficking group, he became a gambler, a whore master, then he finally was reduced to a drug user to earn the trust from his leader.
A classic Jiang Guanshan film, clean cut and fast-paced plot, the audience all felt like they were all there witnessing how Cheng Jun successfully became an undercover agent, how he earned the trust from the drug dealers.
He Bai felt as if there were a lump in his throat seeing how Cheng Jun struggled to punch himself to pull himself together, and on the other hand how he had to fawn upon the drug dealers, how he cut his own skin to overcome drug addiction.
Everyone was in dismay, then the plot paced up, Cheng Jun had made remarkable character growth after he gained the drug dealers’ trust, he became a leader in that group soon. Internal strife between the drug dealers, the fights between the drug dealers and police officers, the struggle between desire and conscience were all unfolding as Cheng Jun grew, while Cheng Jun maintained to keep his spine straight the whole time.
While his soul aged after seeing so many aspects of humanity, he had seen how drug eroded a righteous person’s body and heart, he had seen how a bad guy regretted his life choices, he had let down a good girl… … but he knew what he was looking for and never had he lost hope!
It was like someone had pressed fast forward to advance the plot, the audience were all desperately to know the ending, all of a sudden, the scene went silent, it was a view of Cheng Jun’s back…
Cheng Jun’s three years’ of undercover life turned out to be a great success, with that it was all over the news, the campaign of counter attacking drug dealers the territorial boundaries gained some remarkable progress. While a new gravestone appeared in the martyr graveyard.
The female lead was saluting Cheng Jun in front of his gravestone, she was kept in the dark of Cheng Jun’s undercover life, she gave way to a storm of weeping thinking about their conflicts due to misunderstanding……
