Realizing he once again went down to that horrible memory lane, He Bai shook his head and forced himself to focus on the day. He took a deep breath and looked at Xing Shaofeng, “Shaofeng, I heard that grandpa had already asked Zengpeizhong’s lawyer to handle Qin Li, have you talked to Zengpeizhong’s? Any updates on that matter? That woman is dangerous, you’s better come up with a once-and-for-all plan, otherwise I’m sure she will somehow figure out a way to cause trouble.”
Xing Shaofeng pretended he had not seen He Bai had just zoned out, he replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, Qin Li now is barred from leaving the country due to her debt issues, we’ve got eyes on her. Plus now she is penniless, all her money was confiscated, we are just waiting for a perfect timing, when we have Di Xiasong on our side, then it’s time for her to go to the place where she belongs.”
“Di Xiasong?” asked He Bai with confusion, “Isn’t he in jail now? We are waiting for him to be on our side? About what?”
Hearing that, Xing Shaofeng felt confused too, he asked, “Didn’t Qiuhe tell you about this, we are planning on convincing Di Xiasong to… …”
“What are you talking about?” chimed in Di Qiuhe.
Di Qiuhe showed up from nowhere holding a plate of pumpkin pie, he and Xing Shaofeng exchanged a look then he walked to He Bai and stroked his hair, he coaxed He Bai, “Here, have a taste, I guarantee you it’s not greasy.”
Thinking about how he made a scene and tortured Di Qiuhe last night, He Bai felt so guilty, he left the topic that he was talking with Xing Shaofeng just now and looked at Di Qiuhe with gentleness rippled in his eyes, “Thanks, Qiuhe, I’m still full, do you mind me saving it for later?”
“Come on, puppy, just a bite, I need your opinion on this.” Di Qiuhe caught hold of He Bai’s hand, but seeing He Bai’s ears went blushed, he withdrew his hand and took a bite of the pumpkin pie himself. Then he bent down and kissed He Bai on the lips, yup, he fed He Bai the pumpkin pie through the kiss.
“Bai, in my opinion, this pumpkin pie is tasty.” said Di Qiuhe with a cheeky smile.
The aroma of the pumpkin pie pervaded the taste buds, He Bai realized what had just happened, he blushed crimson within a second. He didn’t dare to look at Xing Shaofeng or Di Qiuhe, he sprang from the sofa and lowered his head, “Hehe, Shaofeng, excuse me for a second, I gotta check on Junjie and the roast lamb.” with that he strode away.
Di Qiuhe chuckled softly, he took a candid shot of He Bai when he ran away. Then he looked at Xing Shaofeng who was snickering and asked, “Shaofeng, keen to help me out in the kitchen? Do dome tasting maybe?”
Xing Shaofeng knew Di Qiuhe must have something he’d like to say, “that would be my pleasure.”
They agreed to have hotpot, so the tasting was mainly desserts tasting, Xing Shaofeng indeed tasted all the sweets with pleasure.
Xing Shaofeng took another bite of the cake in his plate and put down the fork, “Qiuhe, you haven’t told Bai about our plan about Di Xiasong, have you? Why? You guys always share everything.”
Di Qiuhe who was checking the garnish raised his head, “Bai is not going great lately, it’s not like I’m hiding something or doing something sneaky behind his back, I just figured he would be better off not knowing all the dark business. I will tell him about the updates about our plans, but not necessarily all the tiny details, but for now I like to see his smile when he is doing what he enjoys.”
“Good thinking. Like photography?”
“And gathering with friends.”
Recalling how He Bai zoned out after hearing about An Xixi’s father, Xing Shaofeng nodded and appreciated what Di Qiuhe just said, he asked, “How is it going with Di Xiasong? Bai just said he hoped we could come up with a plan to handle Qin Li once and for all, it looks like Bai is really annoyed by that woman.”
Di Qiuhe found that a bit surprising, He Bai had always been so understanding and forgiving, he said he hoped there was a way to handle Qin Li once and for all, he must be really mad.
Di Qiuhe frowned, he collected his thoughts and said, “Di Xiasong is still a little hesitant, but don’t worry, it’s just a matter of time. As for Qin Li, let’s make it happen then, sending her to reunite with her daughter seems like a good way.
Xing Shaofeng felt Di Qiuhe’s aura had completely changed, he was a homey chef in the making just now, and now he was like a cold-hearted machine.
To return to He Bai, he and his roommates used a little help from Aunt Xu to roast the lamb, but it was a huge success.
The group had such a feast, they just chilled in the living room after the big lunch and waiting for a even bigger dinner.
Di Qiuhe just sat quietly next to He Bai who was having a heated contest with his roommates about some car racing game, he loved every second of this day.
After the game, He Bai turned back to look at Di Qiuhe, what came to his sight was Di Qiuhe with a doting smile on the face. He Bai felt a bit emotional, he leaned towards Di Qiuhe and left a kiss on Di Qiuhe’s cheek. Then he continued the second round with his roommates like nothing had happened.
