One Useless Rebirth

Being stared by He Bai’s vicious eyes, Di Qiuhe dried his hair and then crawled to his bed.

“Just sleep.” He Bai drew the curtains and the room suddenly went dark.

After a whole night up and a relentless day, Di Qiuhe’ nerves had already calmed down after the shower. And the moment he touched the soft and cozy bed, his brain immediately sent out the signal of sleep.

“Bai.” His eyes were a bit dried out and he really wanted to close them. Yet looking at He Bai who was standing by the bed, he just was loath to take the short time being together with him to sleep. He forced himself to stay awake and said, “It’s still early, shall we watch a horror movie together? We can have dinner right after it.”

“No! Just go to sleep!” He Bai stared at him in a serious face, and he looked quite unhappy as his eyebrows tightly knitted, “I will just send you back if you keep staying up.”

His serious face made Di Qiuhe laughed, so he stopped teasing him and moved to the other side. He tapped the other pillow and asked, “Are you tired? Wanna join?”

He Bai didn’t reply and dragged the quilt to cover his face. Later on, he tapped his body as if he was babysitting a baby, and then threatened, “Close your eyes and mouth or I knock you out.”

Now he couldn’t see anything at all, but he could feel that his chest got tapped over the quilt. That was really something new and peculiar.

Di Qiuhe slowly lifted up his mouth and turned over his body. He then dragged down a bit of the quilt and held He Bai’s waist all of a sudden. He curled up himself and snuggled his face against his waist with his eyes closed.

“Hey!” He Bai lost his balance because of the cuddle that he wanted to kick the ass of this naughty boy who refused to sleep. But the moment he raised his hand, he realized that the brat had already loosed up his arm and put one arm on his leg, the other on the bed.

Was he asleep now?

He Bai’s lips twitched and he pushed the head on his waist slightly. There he saw a totally relaxed sleeping face.

Falling asleep so fast…he rubbed his face and surrendered after all. He took Di Qiuhe’s arm off and walked to his backpack and took out an album. He hesitated for a second then put the album back, walking to the bed to tuck the quilt for Di Qiuhe.

What a tight sleep with not even one single dream.

Di Qiuhe unconsciously rubbed against the soft pillow. His eyelids moved a bit and then his eyes opened slowly.

His eyesight got gradually clear and he saw a familiar figure sitting on the armchair by the window reading a book. Beside him stood a lamp set with the dimmest light.

His tense body gradually relaxed after sleep and he looked at Bai who was reading  under the light. His eyes softened and his face were covered with a smile.

The dear puppy was still here and he didn’t run away.

He blinked and slowly moved his eyes.

Puppy’s hair looked so furry under the light. He had a full forehead and round eyes, with a nicely-carved nose and a chubby nose tip. His lip line was so plump that you want to rub them. His face was a little bit chubby and if he smiled his eyes would curl up and you could see a dimple on his face.

‘How come I didn’t find out that puppy’s face was so delicate?’

His slender fingers turned the page and made some rustling sound.

His move on the arm stretched out his shoulders, and his cotton shirt turned into a soft curve. His white T-shirt popped out from the shirt, and you could see part of the line of his collarbone. Going upward, you could also see his beautiful neck. Even his Adam’s apple looked much adorable than the others’.

The room was very quiet and curtained that no views from the outside could be seen. The spot where puppy was sitting was the only place with light in this room, so it looked quite warm and made you want to get closer.

He moved his body and put his arm back under his head to look it up, and then he lifted the other arm to outline his shape. He really wished that time could go slower so that he could stay longer quietly with this man.

Maybe now he was dreaming, he thought. Would there be any better dream other than waking up seeing your lover staying by your side?

Another page turned, finally the book was read. The man on the armchair suddenly raised his arm up, massaging his bending neck.

As if struck awake from a lost dream, Di Qiuhe put his numb arm down and slid back to the quilt. He closed his eyes and counted to three, then he stretched himself and opened the quilt to sit up. He then smiled at the one who looked towards him and said, “Morning, puppy.”

The one sitting on the armchair was struck for a second and rolled his eyes and said ironically, “Save it and get up for food. I’m starving.”

There went the sweet dream. Di Qiuhe got up immediately and jumped to the man who was just about to get up with the book. Following his desire from his heart, he rubbed his head against his shoulder and cling on him like a koala. He murmured, “I’m still sleepy.”

“Me as well! Then sleep more after we get food. It’s almost midnight and I don’t know if the hotel still serves food.” He Bai pressed his belly and complained while trying to get away from his intimacy.

Di Qiuhe was struck and got off his arm on him and said with his eyebrows frown, “It’s already midnight? Why didn’t you wake me up for dinner?”

He Bai looked at him in a poker face and put the album back to the bag without speaking a word.

Di Qiuhe looked at his unconsciously tense lips and his heart was gradually filled with joy. He raised up his eyebrows and jumped on him again. He grabbed his neck and said, “Little puppy, was it because you just love me so much that you didn’t want to wake me up?”

“I’d rather love a pig than you! Go brush your teeth and wash your face. Don’t you ever rub your eye gums on me?” He Bai was pissed off and tried to pull his arm off himself, “Hurry up! Just be quick cause I don’t wanna die of starvation.”

Di Qiuhe cracked a smile and pinched his face. He then let him go to the bathroom and said, “Little puppy, you don’t need to hide your affection towards me. I won’t laugh at you as I am very generous…um, what do you want to eat later?”

“I want to eat your flesh and drink your blood!” He Bai replied angrily. He thought he was just so stupid to not go back just for this childish dumb-ass, and he hoped that no dorm checking tonight.

The two of them went back to the room after having some random food. He Bai went directly to the shower and Di Qiuhe took out his phone to send messages to Jiang Xiuwen.
