One Useless Rebirth

The netizens went to Liu Lange’s account and appreciated his street snaps in February, then they found He Bai’s work shared the same background and date with Liu Lange’s street snaps, while Liu Lange’s street snaps were shot on Valentine’s Day.

Then the netizens drew a conclusion with delight, Di Qiuhe and He Bai spent Valentine’s Day together, the fans who had been shipping them were ravished with joy. Before they went on, Liu Lange posted it was great working with He Bai for his street snaps, and he spoke highly of how professional He Bai’s work attitude was, he mentioned how he bumped into Di Qiuhe in M Country and he found that Di Qiuhe was a young actor with huge potential.

Di Qiuhe went to M Country and came back all by himself, He Bai was not by his side, so the assumption the two had spent Valentine’s Day turned out to be invalid. The fans who had been shipping them felt down, it looked like that photo was taken by chance, and most likely that photo was staged by Di Qiuhe, not a snap.

The netizens went to another round of rejoice, if that photo were really staged by Di Qiuhe, it only proved how awesome Di Qiuhe’s acting skills were! His expression in that photo showed so many layers of emotions, Di Qiuhe was a true treasure on the film market which were inundated with eye-candy actors. A true gem!

Therefore, everyone’s focus had shifted form the two’s romance life to Di Qiuhe’s acting skills, his previous works were discussed, which for sure would attract more audience for his new movie ’s Army>.

Seeing how the direction of public opinion, after quite a twist and turn, now was favoring Di Qiuhe, He Bai was dumbfounded, he wiped his face and exclaimed in his heart how awesome Xing Shaofeng was, he acted as a one-man army basically.

He Bai was satisfied about how the situation turned out to be, he logged out of Weibo and went to “International Art Festival for Uni Students” website, he was in a daze staring at the page of submitting the work for the finals, then he clicked open a retouching software, thinking about working on the photo where Di Qiuhe held an umbrella before the gravestone. Then he was lost in thought for one or two hours, he did not came to his senses until Niu Junjie called him. He looked at the photo, the lighting and the colors complete each other so well, then he lingered on the brooch Di Qiuhe was wearing, the next second he decided to submit the original version of the photo and he named it .

The notification of “submission approved” popped out, he let out a sigh of relief subconsciously, then he turned off the laptop. He relaxed on his chair for a few seconds and pulled himself together, then he treated his roommates for dinner.

No one’s five-minute fame online lasted forever, lost its charm after about a week, it was replaced by the publicity of the drama .

He Bai on the other hand, had got the working invitations from two other big magazines as well as the invitation from for shooting for their posters.

“I don’t mind taking them all, can always cut private invitations.” He Bai said this to Li Ru while he browsed his emails, then he added, “If there’s any schedule clashes, prioritize , other invitations need to give way to no matter how great it is.”

“Ah~ I see.” Li Ru replied with a big smile, then she bantered, “Look at you two love birds, just watch out in front of single AFs like me, maybe one day I’ll be mad jealous of you guys and post about you two online.”

He Bai turned off his laptop and smiled, “That’s great, I will make it official after you post, I don’t care anyone’s opinion, it’s me who had decided to spend the rest of my life with Qiuhe, none of their business.”

Li Ru was surprised by how straightforward He Bai was, she asked, “Aren’t you worried it may affect Qiuhe’s career?”

“No.” He Bai thought about Di Qiuhe’s attitude all along and how Qiuhe used his Weibo account to post his own updates and stuff, his smile got bigger, “He is not worried himself, why would I?”

Childish Di wished he could make it public, his little game and tricks did not escape He Bai.

What was more reassuring was now he had got Xing Shaofeng, the one-man army guy. He had not make it public yet just because he refused his relationship with Qiuhe became tabloid fodder, it was not because he was afraid of anything or anyone.

Listening to He Bai, Li Ru was impressed by his attitude, she shook her head with a smile, “Aww, I wish I could have a relationship like yours, I lost my hope long ago, I started to believe in love seeing you and Qiuhe.”

“My beautiful and considerate Sister Li, please go back to the dating market.” He Bai said genuinely, Li Ru did not refuse his suggestion and they hung up after a few more bantering.

A week had passed, the curator of the museum who allegedly would reach out to He Bai had finally showed up, He Bai hosted him with great manners, and he refused the invitation in a polite way. To everyone’s surprise, that person did not take it well at all.

“Don’t get so cocky yet, it was pure luck, a photographer entered a contest showing no retouching skill at all, I don’t think you can go very far, probably this Art Festival is your highlight in your career, enjoy your moment, because it’s not gonna last long.” Then he stormed out.

He Bai was speechless, how arrogant that person was!

Was that person all right? Shouldn’t it be like how the saying went, “Friendship should remain if even we can’t reach a cooperation agreement this time”. Plus, the museum he was working for had long term cooperation relationship with his university, was he going to abandon all that? He was Xu Yinrong’s student, what the curator had done was nothing different than being disrespectful to Xu Yinrong.

Zhengya, who came to their dormitory to return Niu Junjie’s book, explained to them, “The curator’s daughter also took part in the Art Festival, the girl also made it to the quarter-final and she ranked the fifth, she would have been the best player from Q University if not for He Bai.”

To put in a nutshell, He Bai had stolen the thunder of his daughter, hence the curator’s attitude was not necessarily nice.

He Bai was dumbfounded, he was like “What have I done? This is a horrible society! I don’t ask for trouble, but trouble just knocks on my door.”
