Translator: Sissy That Walk
He Bai pulled Yi Jie’s manager aside and they whispered, Yi Jie’s manager looked at He Bai and looked at Yi Jie, he kept shaking his head.
He Bai did not give up.
Seeing what was happening aside the set, Yi Jie was confused and was curious to see what trick He Bai had got under his sleeves. Di Qiuhe looked at them and kept undressing He Bai in his mind.
The conversation went on, and finally the manager nodded his head, he shot a look at Yi Jie and he got a board from a staff member, he started writing on the board.
He Bai also shot a look at Di Qiuhe, and started writing on his board.
After they finished writing, He Bai signaled Di Qiuhe and Yi Jie to look at them, then he poked at the manager.
The note on the boards was the same.
“Actually I’m sitting on a secret, which is I adore you.”
Yi Jie’s eyes were wide open, she looked at the board and she looked at her manager, all of a sudden her eyes turned red-rimmed. The manager who was unsure about this move now looked at her affectionately.
Di Qiuhe, on the other hand, was confused at first and soon he smiled.
The camera captured it all.
He Bai signaled the manager again, they showed the second note, which was “Let’s get married.”
Di Qiuhe and Yi Jie were almost jumped out of their skins, seeing that, He Bai screamed, “Stay still, both of you!”
Di Qiuhe soon collected his thoughts and Yi Jie fought back the tears in her eyes, they soon were in the right mood of shooting this love themed cover.
“Great!” He Bai now was overjoyed, he said, “Smile for me now.”
The manager now showed a goofy smiling face on the board.
Di Qiuhe recognized the sketch was from his puppy, he gave a generous big smile, while Yi Jie was surprised to see this side of her manager, she showed a big smile too.
Click.
Such a sweet shot that was! A handsome man and a gorgeous women looked at the camera, beaming, and they were about to drink “cross-cupped wine” from each other’s glasses, perfect on every level.
“That’s a wrap, everybody, well done.”
He Bai waved and shouted at the whole crew. Soon they burst into laughter seeing the notes on the boards.
“Mr. He, how clever you are, coming up with tricks and ideas like that, if my close friends do this to me, surely, I would laugh out loud, like an idiot.” A staff member come and asked He Bai the question.
He Bai played along and said, “Look at them, gorgeous people like those two will never look like an idiot, they are having a goofy moment, that’s it.”
“Yeah yeah, that is so true.” Realizing He Bai was helping him out, otherwise the two celebrities might take his bantering the wrong way, the staff member left for wrapping up work after He Bai said that.
In the corner, Yi Jie’s manager was talking to the staff member and Yi Jie was standing by his side, she looked perfectly collected, yet the way she looked at her manager revealed her true feelings for her manager.
On the other hand, Wang Boyi was busy sending snacks and drinks to the crew, and joking about the tricks that He Bai had just pulled up.
He Bai looked around, and he didn’t see Di Qiuhe. He then lowered his head to check the photos he just snapped.
A staff member suddenly asked, “Has anyone seen the boards written by Mr. He? They seemed to have gone missing.”
The team leader of the crew walked to He Bai and he was so excited after seeing what He Bai had done for a perfect cover, and he invited He Bai for future cooperation with a pay rise.
Last time when He Bai shot the cover for Yu Hui, he was quite green in the business, but now things had changed, a pay rise was natural on the table.
He Bai thanked the team leader, yet he didn’t take the invitation on the spot, he told the team leader he needed to check his manager Li Ru first.
The team leader was a bit surprised, yet he didn’t show it on the face. Alas, now the table had turned, it was not going to be that easy to book He Bai any more.
He Bai returned to the dressing room, he still had not seen Di Qiuhe. He saw Yi Jie who was waiting for him, he bumped into Yi Jie’s open arms.
“Sister Yi, what is going on?”
And Yi Jie’s manager just watched Yi Jie with a big smile.
“Thank you!” Yi Jie whispered by his ear, “If it weren’t you, me and my manager, Wei, might play the game for a very long time. He thinks I’m out of his league, yet I think it’s just a one-sided crush. Thank you for pushing Wei just now, may you find your happiness soon.”
He Bai now let out a long sigh of relief, he felt so happy for Yi Jie, “What a pleasant outcome!”
Yi Jie smiled, then she looked back at her manager, together, they left the dressing room.
He Bai watched their receding figures, he couldn’t help but curling up his lips. He had sensed something was going on between Yi Jie and her manager, Wei, yet they were both too careful and reserved. As chance might have it just now, he came up with that trick, hopefully, they could step forward.
It was such a great timing, Yi Jie was now in the limelight, if her manager still kept hesitating, Yi Jie might end up being someone else’s girlfriend.
