He Bai sat straight and looked at Di Qiuhe, “Will it happen again?”
Di Qiuhe shook his head, then he squeezed He Bai’s earlobe and kissed him on the forehead.
“You Childish Di, that was so naughty of you. I told you specifically at the moment we need to prioritize ‘Immortal Way’ for all the hard working crew members, they deserve the attention for something they worked hard for. It’s just a couple of days, we will make it public, one day soon.” said He Bai in a soothing tone.
With that he reached out to cuddle Di Qiuhe and stroked his hair, “I’ll give you a good beating if you tease me like this again.”
“I know I did wrong.” Di Qiuhe apologized again, “I’m so sorry.”
He Bai kissed him and rested his head on Di Qiuhe’s broad shoulder, “All right, I forgive you this time, time to eat. I’ll get you some red socks and jocks.”
Hearing that, Di Qiuhe chuckled and cuddled He Bai harder. The fact that his puppy was so understanding and considerate melted his heart. He murmured “I’m sorry.”
“I forgive you already, baby.” He Bai bumped Di Qiuhe’s head with his head, “I do see people who are celebrating the big year use a lot of red, I will get you a red scarf as well.”
“How about some red condoms?” asked Di Qiuhe cheekily.
He Bai rolled his eyes at Di Qiuhe.
Di Qiuhe giggled and cuddled him tighter.
The two had some late night snacks and went back home, both were exhausted when they got back home.
“I’m so sorry.”
He Bai heard Di Qiuhe was still apologizing in his dream, He Bai frowned, “This Childish Di, I said I had forgiven you, no need to keep apologizing.”
Di Qiuhe smiled and opened his eyes, he poked He Bai on his dimple and rolled closer to him.
He Bai knew why Di Qiuhe kept apologizing days later, because this Childish Di wasn’t actually planning on changing the way he carried on.
On the other ceremony they went to days later, Di Qiuhe said something like “I enjoy every single day after I met you” in his acceptance speech while he kept staring at He Bai in the audience.
He Bai knew Xing Shaofeng would give them a piece of his mind after this.
That night after the ceremony, Di Qiuhe was thrown into the study as a punishment.
Two days later, Di Qiuhe won the “Best Rising Star of the Year” at another ceremony, he said “Thank you so much for always standing my side, my special you.”
He Bai lowered his head and texted Xing Shaofeng to apologize, poor Xing Shaofeng.
The next day when Xing Shaofeng gave them the invitations to another ceremony, He Bai returned it to Xing Shaofeng and shook his head, “I’m not going, he is your problem now.”
Di Qiuhe walked to He Bai cheekily and kissed him on the head, “All righty then, be good, I will take you to dinner after I come back.”
He Bai kicked Di Qiuhe on the shin, since when had this goose became so cheeky?
Di Qiuhe smiled and tickled He Bai on his foot.
Xing Shaofeng shook his head after that ceremony.
“My hands are tied, Bai, really, there’s nothing I can do now.” sighed Xing Shaofeng on the other side of the phone, “The netizens ani’t buying what I said on the internet anymore, they demand the truth. Just pick a day and make it public, if we do this for long, it may end up backfiring, people may think this bromance thing is staged to create hype.” with that He Bai hung up the phone.
“Who is that?” asked Di Qiuhe who was walking out from the kitchen holding a glass of milk in hand.
“Xing Shaofeng, he asked us to pick a day and make it public.”
Di Qiuhe’e eyes sparkled, he hugged He Bai tight and tried his best to act normal, “Why? Is everything all right?”
“Yeah, it’s just the netizens demand the truth, and Xing Shaofeng doesn’t want this to backfire.” answered He Bai and he rubbed Di Qiuhe on the neck, “I’m so sleepy Childish Di, let’s go to bed.”
Di Qiuhe was overjoyed, ‘puppy agrees? Is it that easy? What happened? Anyway, yay!’
He carried He Bai in his arms and ran to the bedroom upstairs, he was imagining the beautiful life after they made it public.
Di Qiuhe was woken up midnight, he opened his eyes with efforts, only yo find his limbs were tied and he couldn’t move.
“Bai?”
He saw He Bai who was sitting at the bedside and asked with concern, “Are you okay? Why are you awake?”
He Bai smiled and shook his head, “Yeah, I’m okay, it’s just I’m a man of my word.” then he continued after a pause, “Qiuhe, do you think I was kidding when I said I would give you a good beating if you say silly things in public again?”
Di Qiuhe somehow was so turned on recalling the last “good beating” he got in bed, hmm, he didn’t mind a “good beating” like that every night.
Well, this time seemed to be a bit different, because He Bai produced an ice pack from under the bed.
“… Are you sure?” Di Qiuhe tried to save himself.
He Bai put the ice pack on little Qiuhe, “Yeah, if anything happens, I don’t mind us going Platonic.”
Di Qiuhe’s eyes were wide open, ‘Puppy, I won’t do it again… …”
