Chapter 73: Apprenticing (2)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Di, “Puppy just went showering!”

Jiang, “What?!”

Di, “Shall I wait for him naked on the bed?”

Jiang, “WTF, you two are an item now?”

Di, “No. I haven’t confessed yet.”

Jiang, “...well then you will only get one result if you go naked. You will be blacklisted.”

Di, “You are just jealous.”

Jiang, “Yeah, of course. :)”

Di Qiuhe turned off his message after subtly showing off him being with his lover in the same room. He then looked at the bathroom door feeling very excited yet uncertain.

Ten minutes later, He Bai went out in the white hotel robe and was wiping his hair. He yawned and said, “Go wash yourself up and sleep. We gotta get up early tomorrow.”

Di Qiuhe said in dismay, “Okay...” Puppy didn’t wear the pajama he left in the bathroom. That was just so disappointing!

The matching pajama plan failed.

However, more disappointing was waiting. He Bai had already fell asleep when he finally finished his carefully cleaning. The “lying-on-the-same-bed-and-romantic-talks “ scene he was dreaming of ended without even a beginning.

He looked at the quilt pile and turned off the light silently. He then pulled the quilt and lay carefully next to his lover, reaching out his hand secretly.

Right after He Bai fell asleep he got woken up by his move. He turned over unconsciously and went right under his stretching arm.

Di Qiuhe’s body was frozen and he could feel the warmth in his arm. He relaxed his body carefully and turned his head to take a deep breath. Then he moved a bit forward more cautiously and laid his arm under that one’s waist. He kissed his head buried in the pillow and closed his eyes after some breaths.

That was expected to be a sleepless night, yet he went asleep so fast, and he even dreamed of one trace of warm white light.

“Qiu, morning with kisses.”

Di Qiuhe opened his eyes on the first beep of the alarm. He immediately took his phone and turned it off. Seeing the one next to him still in a sound dream, he relieved and got up carefully.

Not wanting to wake up anyone, he didn’t even turn on any light when he was packing the bag and doing the washing. He was like a thief for the whole time.

After everything was packed, he put his luggage to the doorstep first and then walked back to the bed with his socks on. He squatted down to look at He Bai’s sound sleeping face and left a soft kiss on his left dimple carefully.

Sweet dreams, Bai.

He said silently and touched He Bai’s soft hair on his forehead softly, and then he stood up and left.

“Click.” The door was closed.

He Bai knitted his eyebrows and he looked as if he was barely awake. In the end, he surrendered to the sleepiness and fell into the dark again.

He slept until the next morning. He Bai looked at the greeting message sent by Di Qiuhe 30 minutes ago, massaging his forehead with eyebrows tightly knitted.

He didn’t even notice that Di Qiuhe got up. He didn’t really sleep so tight usually.

He put off his hand and called back, but only heard a turned-off notice.

Maybe he had already started the shooting at that time. He put down the phone and took a deep exhale. He then pushed back the quilt and got off the bed.

“Padak.” A little box was swept by the quilt and fell down to the ground.

He stopped for a second from getting off the bed and bent down to pick up that box.

Seeing the familiar ethnic style, he didn’t even need to wonder who had left it.

“This guy...” He sighed but couldn’t help smiling, and then opened the lid gently.

There stood an adorable golden dog in the middle of the box, who was smirking at him. A tip was stuck on the neck of the dog, and there was an ugly camera drawn on it. So, that was a dog with a camera on his neck.

Bang!

He Bai’s smile was replaced by grievance, he clenched his teeth and said, “Childish Di, you asked for it!”

He handed in the photography assignment for the new week, and Xu Yinrong gave him a nice score of 90 in satisfaction.

“Well done.” He closed the name book and took off his reading glasses. Then he smiled and shook his head, looking at He Bai who sat there and just took an obviously relieved breath and said, “You’ve made great progress, and I can tell that you are making a lot of effort. So you don’t need to do any assignments for the next two weeks.”

He Bai’s smile was frozen for a second and he asked doubtfully, “No assignments? Then what about my daily performance...”

“Just make up the assignments in the future.” Xu Yinrong put the name book back and explained to him, “I know you have got a new job and you must be really occupied. Then I am not giving you more pressure as working in the field is the best assignment for you.”

He Bai was so touched and he stood up to fill his teacup and then served the tea to his teacher. He said sincerely, “Thank you so much, Mr. Xu. Once I finish my work I will definitely make up my assignments as fast as possible.” The official Weibo account of Little Mermaid had just announced its cooperation with Jun Chen and Mr. Xu already knew it today. He even suspended his assignments. It seemed that Mr. Xu had always been following his career development, which was so diligent of him.

Xu Yinrong was dumbstruck by his tea serving gesture and looked up to get the tea. He sat up and sipped the tea, then took out a red packet from his drawer to him. Xu tapped his hand and said, “Keep going.”

He Bai looked at the red packet in his hand and was dumbstruck, “Mr. Xu, what do you mean...”

“Just take it as a gift for apprenticing.” Xu Yinrong looked at his dumb stricken face, turning his serious look into a smile and said, “Go to your class. I will introduce two seniors to you when we have time. When I am not available in the future, you can just go to ask them if you have any questions.”

Listening to his words, He Bai’s heart was beating faster. His eyes were filled with incredible surprises and he asked carefully after a deep breath, “Mr. Xu, so you mean...you want to have me for your official apprentice?” As far as he knew, Xu Yinrong had said a few years ago that he would never have any more apprentices. But look what was going on now...

Xu Yinrong stopped smiling and looked at him with his eyebrows frowned, saying deliberately, “What? I’ve given you the apprentice gift and you think I’m joking? Or...you don’t want an old guy who has not many years left to live like me as your master? Fine, give me my red packet back. ”

“No!” He Bai immediately put the red packet into his bag and took a deep bow to Xu Yinrong. He prepared another cup of tea and kneeled down abruptly, and then raised the teacup above his head and said respectfully to Xu Yinrong, “Master, please have the tea.”

A teacher and a master were just different on the term, but their relationship was totally changed by this transition.

Xu Yinrong smiled with satisfaction and drank up the tea. He then helped him get up and tapped his shoulder, saying benignly, “I am old and I didn’t really want to have an apprentice. But you are truly a good student and I don’t want to give you to someone else. Just keep studying with all of your efforts as I don’t have many years left to teach you. And I might be a bit more strict to you, so please don’t blame me for that.”

Looking at his grey hair and the wrinkles on his face, He Bai felt a little bit sad yet he smiled even brighter and nodded vigorously, “No worries, master. I will devote myself to it and always be with you in your long-live life.”
