Chapter 32: Being Haunted (1)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

White and Whiter: Why do you stop talking? Are you angry?

White and Whiter: Sorry, I was too self-assertive before. I shouldn't have gone to Red Guest to look for you.

Having received another two messages, Di Qiuhe calmed down quickly and looked over all the messages He Bai had sent in complete earnest as if he was doing the reading comprehension section in the college entrance examination. Finally, he came to a conclusion that He Bai had paid a visit to Red Guest to look for him, the “buyer” in his eyes!

Red Guest, cousin... Jiang-Xiu-wen! How come He Bai considered Jiang Xiuwen more reliable than him?!

Diu Qiuhe’s brow furrowed. He typed angrily, and his eyes swept across the French window before sending the message over. Seeing the much thinner figure of him, Di Qiuhe paused for a moment and quickly deleted the text that was already edited. Rubbing his forehead and keeping silent for a few seconds, he switched to another mode and typed slowly.

A Bird Born in Autumn: It doesn't matter. I know you care about me. ^-^

A Bird Born in Autumn: Please don’t stand on ceremony with me. If you feel embarrassed to accept my present, we can exchange gifts.

A Bird Born in Autumn: Wait a minute, I have something pressing.

On convincing He Bai, Diu Qiuhe dialed Jiang Xiuwen's number immediately and asked as soon as he got through, “What did you say to He Bai?”

Jiang Xiuwen: “... hmm.”

Di Qiuhe: “?”

Ten minutes later, Di Qiuhe who got a good scolding put down the mobile phone indifferently and cast a look at the darkening sky outside. It’s quite thrilling to have ups and downs in life. As social practice declined day by day, people as kind and civilized as He Bai were hard to find.

Drawing a long sigh, Di Qiuhe picked up the phone again and made a call to the greengrocer, telling him to prepare one more box of fruit and send it to Red Guest Photography in B City. After that, he turned off the mobile phone reluctantly and slumped down in a chair listlessly. In view of the fact that his sockpuppet was likely to be revealed, Diu Qiuhe found that he couldn’t contact He Bai at will ... it could only be done when the time comes!

He Bai waited for a long while but received no words like “I'm back” from the buyer, only to be in receipt of another box of fruit by express delivery next afternoon. He Bai’s mouth twitched slightly when he looked at the seemingly larger box. He took the cell phone out to call Di Qiuhe.

“Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off.”

“......”

So when he went to discuss cooperation matters with Yi Ka, its staffers were all taken aback by the “bribe” fruit in heaps the young photographer took with him with effort.

“It’s really kind of you.” Lin Xia was at a loss how to react. She had never seen one who gave fruit to his cooperative partner on their first meeting before. If you called it ingratiation, it didn’t make sense for this cooperation was proposed by Yi Ka and the party which needed to fawn was nobody but Yi Ka’s members. As to bribery, it’s quite unnecessary for He Bai to offer bribes, and such amount was far from enough. In addition, no way he just brought the fruits as a gesture of appreciation. After all, it was obviously not cheap, and this seemed way too generous for a gesture.

“My friend sent me a lot of fruit, but I can't finish it by myself. So could you do me a favor and take some?” He Bai looked embarrassed and raised his hands in a requesting gesture, “I know peeps in fashion design industry pay much attention to your diet, so my request may put you in an awkward position. But it’s a pity to let such fresh fruit go to waste, so... Sorry to trouble you. I really appreciate it.”
