“…Fine.” Jiang Xiuwen replied indifferently and told him the harsh truth, “Then did you bare your heart? Did you confirm his orientation? Did you hold his hand, kiss him and have sex?”
Di Qiuhe quickly calmed down. After a short silence, he said with a serious face, “Xiuwen, you are turning less and less lovely.”
“Better than you. You have never been lovely.” Jiang Xiuwen ridiculed him.
“You just envy me.”
“Envy you what? You are still a single man who is having a crush on a man.” Knowing each other for long, he had known exactly how Di Qiuhe played his card. He scolded, “Qiuhe, it’s not the right time for daydream now, wake up.”
“…”
“You little virgin.”
Di Qiuhe hung up immediately and decided to break off with Jiang Xiuwen for 72 hours.
Friday after class, He Bai packed up and went to the airport with luggage.
The passengers on red-eye flight were all tired. He Bai sat down and took out a picture album to kill time. Suddenly, he was distracted by the noise behind.
“That’s gross. I don’t want to sit with him. Where is the attendant? I have to change a seat!”
“I am afraid the pustules on his head would burst when the plane takes off. Ugh…I’m gonna vomit.”
“How did the airport conduct the security check? How could they allow a patient like him to get aboard? That’s a neglect to the lives of other passengers! I am afraid that he may carry some kind of infectious virus. I have to change the seat!”
Another couple also began to shout some bad words, making people uncomfortable. He Bai frowned and turned to them. A middle-age couple blocked the passenger way and pointed to a passenger behind him, crying for attendant to change a seat from him.
Other passengers were alarmed by him and gathered around him, watching the man behind him. They all frowned and looked away from him, as if they saw something terrible.
“See? No one can stand that. How could a man like him get on the plane? It’s better for him to be confined in his home. That’s immoral, how many children will be frightened by him?”
Seeing others also avoided that man, the couple said with stronger tone as if they had gained support from others.
He Bai frowned deeply and couldn’t help untying his safe belt, stood up with his album and walked to check that man.
The man also got irratated with the couple’s words and took off his mask, unveiling a face that was almost filled with scars, pustules, half bald. Frowning, he said, “Enough is enough. You got my hat off and keep attacking me, which makes me very uncomfortable. This is discrimination.”
He Bai goggled at him with shock.
This voice, this tone, this portrait…Xing Shaofeng?!
The middle-age woman stepped back bombastically, and cried, “Holy shit! You must have done something awful and punished by God! You face is even more disgusting than your head! Call the police, please call the police now! He may be some murderer at large and destroyed his face deliberately to avoid police!” The middle-age man pushed the woman behind and picked up the hat on the floor, throwing it to the man rudely with cruel attitude, “Disgusting crap! You deserve being discriminated. Your face just…”
“Enough!” He Bai suddenly came to himself and realized that he was an old friend. He seized the hat and interrupted that man unpleasantly with a low voice, “Since he passed security check, he is clean. And he is healthy enough for a flight! Your words are pure slander, even the police will not support you! I’ll change the seat with you, move!” Then he took his bag and sat next to that passenger.
People around him fixed their eyes on He Bai, but he ignored that. He flickered around the hat and gave it to the person next him. Then he opened his album again, reading.
The passenger protected by him took the hat and thanked him. He measured He Bai secretly and a light smile flashed into his eyes. He suddenly raised his head and smiled to the couple. They were frightened to step back and almost fell. He wore his hat and mask again pleasantly, then also began reading.
The couple felt ashamed, but before they could say something, the attendants came by comforted them and brought them away.
The plane took off, but He Bai had little mood to read his album. He turned sideways to measure that man. He was so excited that he almost burst into tears. He was Xing Shaofeng! His all-round assistant in his previous incarnation! The strong support for his care-free and comfortable life!
That was a miracle. But who could imagine the bloody awesome Xing Zhaodeng in the previous incarnation should have been so ugly now! And that’s absolutely not his self-depreciatory words, but the truth!
That was indeed a timely help. Just a few days ago Yan Meng advised him to hire an assistant, now Xing Shaofeng showed up. Wasn’t it their destiny?
“It seems you know me.” The disfigured Xing Shaofeng looked at him sideways. The mask made his voice quite low, but it was obvious that he was smiling, “Your eyes tell me that you need me now. But above all, I only work, never sell myself; Second, I have no interest in man; Last, my salary must be no less than 1 million yuan a year, no ceiling. But I don’t think you can hire me.”
“…” He Bai’s exciting face stiffened. He was chocked by Xing Shaofeng’s words.
Of course, he was not the He Bai who hit the jackpot and could even sleep on cashes.
The reality was too cruel.
He lowered his eyes. After few-seconds disappointment, he recalled the destination of his trip, so he cheered up soon and asked with shining eyes, “Yes, I don’t have money to hire you, but my friend can! If you intend to find a new job now, how about trying one in showbiz, the manager?”
Anyway, he could not be hired by someone else. He had to attract this genius to his own side!
