One Useless Rebirth

Chapter 140: Theft in the Dorm (2)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

When He Bai finally picked up his phone again after he had finished his delivery food, Di Qiuhe had already texted heaps, such as caring about why he had food so late till now, which room he should stay during his stay in the Fan house for the Spring Festival, and then he decided they should live in the same room, plus many details like bathtub, pajamas preference, bed sheet, duvet and so on. He was bubbling just like a grandma.

He Bai was quite unimpressed, thinking, this man was definitely not that elegant gentleman Di Qiuhe who he met in the very beginning trying to build a soft and caring image to the public. And this chatterbox was definitely not shining his true colors because of his influence.

While he was thinking, more messages were sent. Childish Di was so daring that he said two quilts were too heavy, so they could just do it like before, sharing the same quilt and be cuddling sleepers.

Without the temptation of beauty in person, He Bai became quite more calm as Di now was in distance. So he typed slowly to reply to him.

White and Whiter: Does Mr. Fan know that you try to seduce me to your home?

White and Whiter: And before all of your plans, did you forget that we are just friends who know each other is into guys?

Silence came from the other side.

He Bai sneered and put down his phone to open his delivery food. How dare he tried to mess around with me before we were committed to a serious relationship? Was he just daydreaming or what?

Di Qiuhe stared at the two messages carefully for a few times as he couldn’t even feel his legs. So he sat on the floor and typed with a serious face.

A Bird Born in Autumn: I understood.

He Bai stopped gulping and replied, “What did you understand then?”

A Bird Born in Autumn: Wait for me.

White and Whiter: ???

A Bird Born in Autumn: The break is over, I need to turn off my phone.

A Bird Born in Autumn: I will keep working hard to make money and feed you well until you become a big puppy ^-^

White and Whiter: The door is that way...

He Bai put down his phone in a poker face and focused on his food again. Until today, he still couldn’t figure out what was in his mind even if he had already blindly fallen in love with this childish bird.

K Country, the shooting scene.

Di Qiuhe dialed Jiang Xiuwen’s number. He asked directly when the phone was put through, “I’m gonna come out to my grandpa. But this is not a problem cause I’ve got a plan. The thing is, how should I do to make it romantic if I want to propose to Bai?”

“...”

“Xiuwen?”

“...have you confessed?”

Di Qiuhe was struck and replied with some hesitation, “Well, I think so...”

“Have you told He Bai face to face that you love him?”

“...no.”

Jiang Xiuwen took a deep breath and shouted at him, “Then why would you want to propose! You are not even his official boyfriend! How come you have the confidence to propose! Wake up! It’s only in your dream!” Then he hung up the phone and took a breath to calm down.

With such a retarded friend, it was just so difficult to not kick him every single day!

It was still very hard to find an assistant, yet the moment when He Bai considered taking off that recruiting advertisement on Weibo and asked Xing Shaofeng for a favor to find one, a resume from an old friend came into his mailbox.

He Bai stared at the name on that resume for quite a few seconds and took out his phone to find a number to call after he had made sure his eyes didn’t blur. He stuttered, “Sis...Sis Li, did you just send it wrong? I just saw your resume in my mailbox.”

Li Ru walked into the front gate of Q university. She had her hair permed so that she became more soft and carefree looking. Looking at those students coming back and forth with their young and bright faces, Li smiled and said, “No, I didn’t. He Bai, I need a job instantly, so I wonder if you have time to have a talk with me. I will be waiting for you just outside the front gate of Q university.”

He Bai said, “Ah?”

He Bai rushed to the front gate after a quarter and took Li Ru to a tea bar and booked a booth outside the university.

When they were both seated, Li Ru took a look at He Bai who was sitting in front of him without the shyness he used to have and had become more mature. She smiled with comfort and said, “I’ve heard that you shot the cover for C Magazine? Congratulations, He Bai. You are way better than I have imagined.”

He Bai took a close look at her as well and felt relieved seeing her in a good condition. He answered with embarrassment, “No, I was just a bit lucky...Sis Li, you could easily find a job as an executive in any photography studio. And it is just a waste if you come here and be my assistant. Also, I can never give you a better salary than what you can get from Saint Elephant before.”

As he mentioned Saint Elephant, Li Ru’s smile faded a bit. She answered after taking a sip of the tea, “I am old and I am no longer that vigorous like when I was young. So now I only want to do something easy and enjoy my new life. I am just a normal job seeker and you don’t have to worry too much. And I believe that you have the ability to build your own team, it is just a matter of time. Now I am just your assistant, but I might become your senior employee in your own studio in the future. I would be much more proud of myself than being a director at Saint Elephant.”

“I don’t even dare to think about my own studio at the moment...” He Bai got more and more embarrassed by her compliments, but he understood her for some reason. So he took out his phone and deleted that recruiting advertisement and reached out a hand to her with a smile, “Thanks for your appreciation, Sis Li. And wish we have a great collaboration.” Given that Li Ru had her working experience and qualifications, she was the best choice to be his assistant other than Xing Shaofeng. He seemed to be quite lucky in finding a good assistant. Li Ru showed up right when he was struggling with this problem.

Li Ru liked his straightforward way of handling things, so she shook his hand and replied with a bright smile again, “Great collaboration.”

Since they had made a verbal collaboration deal, both of them felt a lot at ease as they could finally have the energy to chat.

After chatting for a while, He Bai found out that Li Ru had become brighter after leaving Saint Elephant for a period of time. She used to be very serious, but now she was always smiling as if she became a few years younger.

Exchanging the updates of their current life, Li Ru rolled her tea cup and asked, “How is...Saint Elephant doing right now?” Although she forced herself to not care about the old boss’s news, she still couldn’t help thinking about it when she returned to B city, as it was a place where she had spent years to work for.
