One Useless Rebirth

“What?” Di Qiuhe stiffened at his look. He suddenly felt that his hand-picked shirt was a little bit burning. Di Qiuhe’s expression was frozen unconsciously and he was a little bit flurried. Did he behave too obviously just now? Had his little puppy noticed his secret love? If he had noticed, should he tell…

“Are you under a spell or something?” He Bai punched his right palm with the left hand and showed a mysterious smile as if he had discovered some truth, “Or you want to thank me for sending away that Dong Ni? Don’t bother. We are good brothers; I have the responsibility to block the girls that are not suitable for you. Of course, that Dong Ni has a good figure and beautiful face, but girls like her are ubiquitous in art college, so, why does director Jiang choose her? By the way, you just became another person in front of Dong Ni. I almost applauded for your acting skill.”

“…” Bai…

He Bai looked at him with sparkling eyes. Even the headache after hangover could not stop him from gossiping, “Why do you think director Jiang choose her?”

He Bai raised his hand and wiped his face. He turned back to He Bai and wanted to be alone for a while.

They got into the car and fastened the safe belt. He Bai was eating the pan cake bought on a stall. He glanced at Di Qiuhe again and again.

“What?” Di Qiuhe turned his head sideways and couldn’t resist asking.

“You are handsome.”

Di Qiuhe pressed the accelerator hard.

He Bai was attached to the back of the seat due to inertia. He didn’t swallow the pancake in his mouth until the car drove smoothly. He was almost choked. He Bai stared at Di Qiuhe beside him, “How did you get your driving license? I have never seen a driver worse than you.”

Di Qiuhe reached up to loosen his tie and suddenly wanted to perform a drift trick to prove his driving skill.

“The accelerator is a little loose. I was not used to it just now.” He explained with a serious face.

“Sure, I buy it.” He Bai rolled his eyes. When the car was truly at normal speed, he lowered his head and ate his pan cake again, saying vaguely, “But you are really handsome today. This suit is not too formal or too frivolous. It suits you well, thanks.” Di Qiuhe usually wore comfortable clothes, but today he wore suit for accompanying him to sweep graves, which made He Bai felt warm.

This time, Di Qiuhe didn’t press the accelerator but spun the wheel sharply, and the car took an S-shaped turn.

He Bai hurriedly clenched the handrail and put his pan cake aside. He said urgently, “You stop at the next junction, and let me drive. Your driving skill will get me heart disease sooner or later.”

Di Qiuhe had been pleased by He Bai’s praise, but now this pleasure disappeared. He frowned and said with anger, “I can drive well as long as you keep silent. You said you didn’t sleep well last night, then get some sleep now.”

“How can you blame me?” He Bai couldn’t help raising his voice, but given that Di Qiuhe was driving, he restrained his anger and said with worry, “I am afraid that if I fall asleep, your terrible driving skill will send me to see my parents.”

Di Qiuhe turned his head sideways and stared at him, “Stop the nonsense!”

“Watch out! Please keep your eyes on road!” He Bai fastened his seat belt tight and thought that it was a total mistake to let Di Qiuhe drive him home. He stopped chatting with him and slammed down the chair hopelessly. He Bai covered his face with the blanket from the back seat and said with a shaking voice: “I have set the navigation for you, just follow it. I’ll keep quiet, so just focus on driving. Don’t let me down.”

Hearing this, Di Qiuhe couldn’t help rubbing He Bai’s waist.

Di Qiuhe twitched on the seat like a dead fish. He threw the blanket and stared at Di Qiuhe, “You wanna die?”

Di Qiuhe felt better and gave an oblique look to He Bai with a smile on his lips. He gave a snort and pressed the contributor.

He Bai leaned back. He looked at Di Qiuhe, who was even more handsome when he put on some swagger. He dared not to scold him nor beat him now, so he could only keep this hatred in his heart and covered his face with the blanket again. ‘Out of mind, out of sight, after all.’

The person on the front seat gradually relaxed. He fell asleep with his head tilted.

Di Qiuhe pulled the blanket for him at the red light, and jabbed at his left dimple, smiling, “naughty little puppy.”

He stopped the car at a cemetery in the suburban area in the neighbor city in D district. He awakened He Bai, and then entered the cemetery with some relative items with him.

“When did you prepare these.” With flower in his arms, He Bai didn’t have any sense of heaviness. He just looked at the joss paper and other items in Di Qiuhe’s hands curiously.

Di Qiuhe smoothed his tie and cuffs, replying, “I told assistant Wang to prepare these last night.”

Following the sequence of his movements, He Bai glanced at his delicate dark-stripe suit. He raised his hand and bent his arm around Di Qiuhe’s shoulder with a smile, saying, “My parents will like you.”

Di Qiuhe was touched. He hurriedly held He Bai’s back to keep balance and tried to ask in a calm manner, “Why…”

“Because you’re handsome.” He Bai patted his shoulder and released him. He looked at the deepest side of the cemetery, with eyes full of memories. “Maybe my parents had seen too many ugly things, so they particularly like things that can please people, such as beautiful flowers, good-looking people and fine paintings…You are good-looking and handsome today. They will definitely like you.”

Di Qiuhe didn’t expect that answer. He wore a smile and turned his head to He Bai. His face gradually relaxed and said mildly, “It’s my pleasure.”

He Bai also smiled and gave him a “you-behave-well” look. He led Di Qiuhe in front of a joint grave.”

“That’s it.” He Bai bent to put the flower in front of the grave, and then sat down quickly. He waved at the grave with a smile as if he had been an old friend of them, “Mum, dad, I come to visit you. How are you there? I bring a friend here this time. Isn’t he very handsome? So, when you bless me, just also bless him.”

Di Qiuhe was baffled by his words. He looked at He Bai with deep emotions and also stepped forward. He put down the flower and joss paper, tidied up himself and bowed to the grave solemnly. He said in a serious manner, “Nice to meet you, I’m Di Qiuhe.”

Di Qiuhe squatted down and helped him. He promised to He Bai’s parents in the heart that he would take care of him well. They stay there for an hour, and He Bai finished everything he wanted to say. He stood up and patted the dust off on his trousers. He picked up a joss stick and worshiped his parents, “Mum, dad, I will visit you next time. Don’t forget to wish me a fortune.

Di Qiuhe also burnt a joss stick and said silently, “Please be assured to entrust He Bai to me. I will try my best to take care of him.”

After worshiping, He Bai sank the joss stick in front of the grave.

Di Qiuhe also followed him.

Suddenly, the roaring and rumbling of thunder came with a lightning. It began to rain without any signs.

The burning joss sticks were extinguished immediately.

He Bai: “Mum, dad, don’t you want me to get rich?”

Di Qiuhe: “…” No, it must be a coincidence.
