One Useless Rebirth

Di Qiuhe was so confused, he had got a haircut, he just scrubbed up and made sure he smelt nice, but why his Bai refused to talk to him.

“Hey, puppy, I bought some steamed bun for you.”

He Bai shot Di Qiuhe a glimpse and turned his head.

Di Qiuhe straightened up his collar and leaned towards He Bai, he coaxed gently, “I made those buns myself,would you like to try some?”

He Bai turned his head back to look at Di Qiuhe, Di Qiuhe was holding a tupperware full of buns, God, it smelt so nice. Di Qiuhe was smiling at He Bai in a fawning way, and He Bai felt so touched, but he refused to show.

“Yeah, thank you.” said He Bai.

Di Qiuhe’s eyes were sparkled, he handed the tupperware and set up the little bed table, “I cleaned the house the other day, and I asked the doctor about your hospital discharge, they told me that as long as we keep a close eye on you and make sure you get plenty of rest, you can leave hospital today.”

That light He Bai’s mood, he didn’t like the idea of coming to hospital in the first place. He held one bun from the tupperware and stuffed it to his mouth... ‘it actually tastes very good.’

Di Qiuhe who had been staring at He Bai now cracked a subtle smile, he wish he could squeeze He Bai’s cheek, but thinking about He Bai’s attitude towards him just now, he decided he better not try his luck.

Di Qiuhe put the tissue box on the bed table and started a new conversation, “Your roommates have been worried sick about you, how about inviting them to ours after you r hospital discharge. For hotpot? Seafood? Or roasted lamb? I can invite a good chef to ours too.”

That suggestion really got He Bai, he felt so touched in his dream the way that Niu Junjie and Chen Jie acted after his death, the way Wang Hu kept calling and checking on him. He replied, “that’s so great, let’s not forget Shaofeng, he has been working so hard.” He Bai wished he could invite Zhao Tianhu, but they were not good friends in this life yet, he didn’t have a good reason to invite Zhao Tianhu. Shame.

“Of course, Shaofeng indeed has been working hard for us.” replied Di Qiuhe. Seeing the way He Bai stuffed the buns, Di Qiuhe finally felt better, he continued, “Any thoughts on food? You know Junjie better than me, what do they like more?”

“Hot pot, it’s such a perfect season for hot pot.” He Bai took a tissue to wipe his mouth, “Roasted lamb sounds good too, but let’s not invite a chef over, Junjie tends to be a bit conservative when there’s other guest. And also our bodyguards, they are very hard workers, let’s invite them too.”

“Yeah, don’t worry, consider it done.” replied Di Qiuhe, with that he sat closer to He Bai, “is there anything else you have in mind in particular?”

Hmm, yummy buns, doting lover, He Bai felt much better. He pretended to roll his eyes and said, “Why are you asking me all these questions? I am technically a patient now, what I need is rest.”

“I’m sorry.” said Di Qiuhe apologetically, but he definitely had seen through He Bai, he knew He Bai was just being sassy. He said with a doting smile on the face, “All right then, I will take charge from now on.”

He Bai enjoyed being sassy and he planned to continue the sassy attitude, “Great, how about some video games and a movie list, we can just chill after hot pot. And do you feel like sending some photos on my laptop to a contact named Zhao Tianhu in my email? Don’t ask who Zhao Tianhu is, and don’t get jealous.”

Di Qiuhe looked at He Bai with a doting smile, he caught hold of He Bai’s hand and said, “Sure, I can do that for you, and also, puppy, I’m not the jealous type.”

He Bai withdrew his hand and gave a light sneer, “You are not the jealous type, hey?”

“Well... there’s a difference of being jealous and being caring.” said Di Qiuhe brazenly, and he reached out his arms trying to hug He Bai.

He Bai took a glimpse at him and didn’t avoid the hug, he knew he shouldn’t blame Di Qiuhe for his own death in the previous life.

“Do you like the buns?” Di Qiuhe was over the moon now, he kissed He Bai on the forehead and presented He Bai a bottle of juice, what were the odds, the exact same bottled juice brand he and Di Qiuhe got mixed up in the previous life, ‘good job, Childish Di, right at the second when I’m about to forgive you, and you are here reminding me how I died because of you in my previous life.’

He Bai stared at the juice and looked at Di Qiuhe, “Childish Di, a little investment suggestion, go get some stock from this juice company, this juice will be popular for at least another decade or so.”

“Yeah?” asked Di Qiuhe, he didn’t think too much, he was just glad that He Bai liked the juice.

He Bai rubbed Di Qiuhe’s head in a violent way, he was done with this juice for the rest of his life.

Di Qiuhe took his puppy back home that night and jumped directly into the party planning.

“Puppy, do you want to take a look at the menu that I just wrote down?”

Silence was the response.

“Puppy, do you want to take a look at the grill I just bought?”

Still no reaction.
