Translator: Sissy That Walk

Di Qiuhe walked back to the sofa after he opened the door, he poured He Bai a glass of water and asked, “You said the drink was poisoned, how do you know? Have you had some?”

He Bai was dumbfounded, he didn’t realize the drink was still sealed in the bottle. He was just trying to find way to catch Di Qiuhe’s attention and have an excuse to talk to him, he rushed to the hotel as soon as he woke up. He hadn’t touch the drink yet, now he took a glimpse at the drink and was at a loss.

“Is this the drink?” Di Qiuhe noticed He Bai looked at the bottle so he reached for it.

He Bai’s eyes were wide open, he subconsciously reached out to stop Di Qiuhe, but he was slower than Di Qiuhe, his hand ended up landing on Di Qiuhe’s hand.

Di Qiuhe slightly frowned, he raised his head and looked at He Bai.

He Bai was transfixed, ‘Sigh, this hand, I used to hold this hand every day and night, look at me now, I accidentally touched this hand, and he was staring at me like I’m a pervert.’

An Xixi’s footsteps broke the silence.

Di Qiuhe withdrew his hand and looked at An Xixi who was carrying a tray, “Thank you, Assistant An, good night.”

An Xixi took a look at He Bai with alert, she put the tray on the table and said, “No worried, Mr. Di, here are the meds, but the doctor says it’s bad to have them on an empty stomach, so I ordered this porridge for you, it’s nice and hearty, and this gentleman over there... it’s getting late now, you have a long day tomorrow, this gentleman can leave with me.”

It indeed was getting late, Di Qiuhe took a glimpse at He Bai and frowned.

He Bai was still nestling in the sofa, he, of course, was not going to listen to An Xixi. The meds and porridge on the tray caught his attention, thinking about how easily An Xixi could push Di Qiuhe out from the balcony, He Bai was almost certain that the meds and porridge were questionable.

He Bai rolled his eyes and he suddenly stood up and walked to the bathroom, with that he “accidentally” knocked over the meds and porridge.

An Xixi was infuriated, she cursed He Bai in her heart then she turned around and said in a demanding tone, “Mr. Di, look at this man, you need to throw him out!”

“Throwing him out or not, it’s my decision to make.” said Di Qiuhe with indifference, he didn’t appreciate the tone that An Xixi just talked to him.

“As you just said, it’s getting late, you may leave now.”

An Xixi was choked, she left the suite with regret.

He Bai opened the lid on the bottle and spilled some to the toilet, he needed to convince Di Qiuhe that this drink was poisonous, so he needed to make it look at least plausible, Di Qiuhe would not buy a word if he saw the bottle was still sealed.

After that being done, He Bai walked out of the bathroom, he let a sigh of relief seeing Di Qiuhe sitting on the couch safe and sound. He walked to the balcony and locked the window, he double checked a few times on the lock, not giving An Xixi any chance to murder Di Qiuhe.

“What are you doing?” asked Di Qiuhe with interest.

“I’m protecting... ...”

There came another knock on the door, it was An Xixi carrying a tray again, she brought two bodyguards with her this time.

He Bai took a glimpse at the tray, he was more certain the porridge was questionable. This An Xixi in this life, so stubborn.

“Mr. Di, I ordered a new porridge for you. As for the guest, I can arrange him a room tonight, it’s getting too late now, probably not the best timing to have a talk.” An Xixi put the tray on the table and suggested in a gentle voice.

He Bai snorted, he took a seat right next to Di Qiuhe and handed him a bag of chips, “You can have this before you take your meds, DON’T have that porridge.”

Di Qiuhe was so confused right now, this man, obviously had no concept of “personal space.”

“What are you staring at? Just eat, the police will be here soon, no one is getting any sleep tonight I’m sure.”

“Police?” An Xixi and Di Qiuhe asked in unison, one asked with shock and fear, while the other one asked with confusion.

‘This Childish Di, such an idiot! How can he employ An Xixi as his assistant, look at the way she has been talking to him.’ thought He Bai.

The way An Xixi reacted caught Di Qiuhe’s attention, he squinted his eyes and looked at An Xixi, “Assistant An, are you afraid of the police?”

An Xixi lowered her head to hide her emotions, she stammered, “No... I’m not... Mr. Di, I just think this guest is very suspicious... ...”

“Assistant An, mind your language.” Di Qiuhe chimed in, “Do you think I need an assistant who makes decision for me? You have been asking this guest to leave, what are you up to?”

An Xixi was startled, she raised her head and her face turned pale, she faltered, “No, I have not, Mr. Di, no... ...”

“Take her out.” Di Qiuhe had enough, he signaled at the twp bodyguards who came with her and said intentionally, “It looks like my bodyguards are not just taking orders from me.”

The two bodyguards lowered their head and took An Xixi out.

Silence resumed in this room.

He Bai let out a sigh of relief, An Xixi now was taken away from Di Qiuhe, he opened the snack and dived in, he was exhausted.

“Before the police came,” He Bai’s snack was taken away, “Tell me who are you, I have to say the way you came to me is very original, let me guess, you are a fan? A paparazzo? The way you look at me, I see affection and care... ... you have a crush on me? Who are you?”

“No.” He Bai shook his head, “I’m your life-savor.”

For two lives!
