Chapter 66

The meal was eventually disbanded on the pretext that Chen Mocheng was drunk. The activities outside were still going on vigorously. They only went out for a while and then came here to drink. Everyone smiled and flattered them. Chen Shiman followed behind the group of people, only responsible for nodding and bowing.

This process lasted for more than half an hour, and then everyone came back. The Chen couple was busy visiting Miss Bai, and they were chatting happily.

"Teacher Gu, I'll ask someone to take you back later. Please wait here." After the meal, Miss Bai supported Chen Mocheng and spoke to Gu Zhun with some difficulty.

Chen Mocheng didn't know what was going on. He usually drank a lot, and although he drank quite a bit of wine this evening, most of the time he just took a sip and was not at all unable to take care of himself like he was now.

Miss Bai felt Chen Mocheng's head pressing hard on her shoulders, and suddenly she seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking in her shoulders.

Gu Zhun stood in the depths of the night, the evening breeze lifting the hem of his suit. His entire body was enveloped in the soft moonlight, and his stern facial features seemed to soften considerably.

"Okay, Miss Bai."

"Sister, sister!" Chen Shiman jumped out from the corner, her beautiful eyes eager to speak, "I'll take Teacher Gu home. I don't have anything to do anyway."

Miss Bai seemed to have not expected Chen Shiman to say this. She was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to refuse, she felt someone next to her scratching her palm lightly. However, Miss Bai ignored it and asked, "Didn't you drink?" She saw with her own eyes that Chen Shiman drank a full glass.

Chen Shiman scratched his head embarrassedly, "No, that's a drink."

Chen Mocheng was afraid that Chen Shiman couldn't handle the alcohol, so he secretly replaced the drinks in Chen Shiman and Bai Yue's glasses with grape drinks. It looked no different from red wine, so no one would bother to check their drinks.

"Sister, please take our brother home. He really drank too much tonight." Chen Shiman kindly reminded her brother when she saw that his legs seemed to be weak.

After hearing what was said, Miss Bai had no intention of refusing anymore. She obediently handed the car keys to Chen Shiman and told him to be careful on the road.

Gu Zhun didn't say anything until Chen Shiman waved the key before moving his feet.

Miss Bai waited until Chen Shiman and Gu Zhun disappeared without a trace before she shook her shoulders and pushed the people off. "You're still pretending even after everyone's left! Come on, hold on to me, my feet are bleeding." Miss Bai complained.

Chen Mocheng nodded and bowed in front of his lover, "Okay, okay, don't be angry."

"Okay, let's go back." Miss Bai was really tired today and didn't want to talk about anything with Chen Mocheng. She didn't care about Chen Mocheng's real purpose for tonight, but she could guess roughly.

Chen Mocheng looked into the darkness of the night and remained silent for a long time.

Chen Shiman took Gu Zhun into the car. The other party sat in the passenger seat and did not say a word on the way. He was as quiet as a stone pillar standing in a museum. He was only silent and did not care about the visitors.

Chen Shiman held the steering wheel tightly with both hands. Several times when he stopped at a red light, he wanted to say something but stopped himself. However, when he saw Gu Zhun's sinister face, he held his words back.

This went on and on until they arrived at Gu Zhun's home, and Chen Shiman didn't say a word to him.

The car stopped downstairs, but Gu Zhun did not get out and did not show any intention of speaking.

Finally, Chen Shiman spoke helplessly, "We're here, Teacher Gu."

Chen Shiman clasped his palms, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Gu Zhun stroking his chin, but his eyes were looking at Chen Shiman nakedly, as if he wanted to expose his true colors on the spot.

For a long time, Chen Shiman thought that the two would continue to stalemate like this, but Gu Zhun said coldly: "Let's go to Jinshui Bay."

Jinshui Bay?

Chen Shiman thought he had misheard. If he was going to Jinshui Bay, why didn't he go to bed early? What was wrong with him?

It takes a while to drive from here. Chen Shiman was already exhausted after this night. This guy is deliberately torturing him.

It was his fault for hiding his identity, but wasn't that a white lie? Otherwise, did he really think he could sleep with me?

The more Chen Shiman thought about it, the angrier he became. He took a deep breath and prepared to explode, but when he turned around, he saw that Gu Zhun's eyes were filled with tears, which had been rolling in his eyes for a long time without falling.

Such a scene really shocked Chen Shiman. His heart suddenly stopped and his brain went blank. He didn't know what to do and just stared at Gu Zhun blankly.

"drive."

Gu Zhun's voice was calm and distant, tearing a hole in the dark night and coming to Chen Shiman's side.

Chen Shiman's thoughts were pulled back by the other party, and he hurriedly shifted gears and started the car.

Along the way, Chen Shiman felt less nervous.

Both of them knew exactly what Jinshui Bay represented, but now, on the day their identities were revealed, neither of them explained anything, and Gu Zhun proposed to go to Jinshui Bay.

Chen Shiman was confused, but he knew that this was not the right development.

So no matter what Gu Zhun wanted to do, when he didn't know the final development, he was still willing to stay by Gu Zhun's side.

He knew clearly that Gu Zhun would not hurt him. Indeed, the two of them needed a chance to talk things out and straighten out these three confusing months.

It was not until they reached the underground parking lot of Jinshui Bay that Chen Shiman's tension was finally relieved.

He turned off the engine, unbuckled his seatbelt, and just sat in the car. Neither of them wanted to talk.

Chen Shiman was conflicted, wondering where to start.

Obviously not much has happened during this period of time, but now I don’t know where to start.

Chen Shiman still doesn't understand the complex emotional changes and when they started.

Perhaps it was the first time he saw Gu Zhun. Otherwise, with his personality, how could a young master like him become someone else's lover and receive a pitiful salary of 500,000 yuan a month, which was not even enough to fill his teeth.

If it weren't for the special feeling at first sight, Chen Shiman thought, he would have slapped Gu Zhun in the face that day, and angrily cried to his brother that someone was bullying him. Then, Gu Zhun might have disappeared from the entertainment circle that day, and how could he have the resources offered to him now.

For so long, Chen Shiman has been trying to blur out what happened between him and Gu Zhun and was unwilling to face it, but now there is finally an opportunity for the two to be honest with each other.

Even though the scene was so embarrassing and terrible.

"Gu Zhun——"

"Bang--"

As soon as Chen Shiman said a word, the other party immediately opened the car door and slammed it shut.

But Chen Shiman could feel that Gu Zhun didn't use any force at all. He just felt that it was too noisy in this empty and quiet parking lot.

Chen Shiman was sitting in the car and saw Gu Zhun walking quickly to the elevator. The elevator door did not close for a long time. The two of them looked at each other in the air. Chen Shiman saw infinite sadness in Gu Zhun's eyes.

In just a moment, Chen Shiman rushed out of the car without a care in the world and ran to the elevator door with all his strength. But he didn't step into the elevator. He just stood at the door, panting, "I'm not kidding you."

"I just didn't know how to tell you at the time."

Chen Shiman pressed the up button of the elevator and continued to look at Gu Zhun seriously and sincerely. Now, his entire eyes were filled with his own small shadow.

"Are you angry?" Chen Shiman tried to ask, "Speak up, or I'll leave."

He has already shown weakness. If the other party insists on being so stubborn and giving him a cold shoulder, he really doesn't know what to do.

Chen Shiman withdrew his hand from the elevator button and let it hang beside his thigh. He looked at Gu Zhun calmly and stubbornly, watching his chest rise and fall, his bottomless eyes, his hypocrisy and disguise just now, and his alienation and indifference.

Among these complex emotions, Chen Shiman did not see the retention and demands he wanted.

So Chen Shiman turned and left to protect his pitiful self-esteem.

Suddenly, Chen Shiman felt that his whole body was being pulled by an inexplicable force that prevented him from leaving. Then, Chen Shiman felt an even hotter heat source on his back, which spread from his back to his chest. Then, the person behind him quickly lowered his head and buried his head in his shoulder, with his entire cheek pressed tightly against his skin.

Chen Shiman held his breath for a moment, and then he saw a hand reaching out from behind him, slowly pressing a floor button.

Gu Zhun buried his face in the other's shoulder. The elevator began to rise. Chen Shiman could clearly feel the weightlessness of his body, and the sudden extra force in his body seemed to crush him.

Neither of them spoke until they got out of the elevator and Gu Zhun let go of Chen Shiman.

"Chen Shiman, I didn't expect that."

Gu Zhun said this.

Chen Shiman leaned against the door of the house he bought, "What haven't you thought of?"

"I didn't expect that my family is so good, and at that moment, you were thinking about how to use me?" Chen Shiman really couldn't stand Gu Zhun's current appearance, a kind of madness that was about to die.

Gu Zhun didn't say anything. He just felt as if his heart was being pierced by many needles and he couldn't breathe.

When he first saw Chen Shiman, Gu Zhun didn't react.

Or rather, at that time, he was thinking about why this person was here. Was he going to kick him out to climb a higher branch? After all, that was how the two of them started.

But that was only a minute when Chen Shiman's brain froze. Soon, his brain started working again and figured it all out.

From the beginning to the end, Gu Zhun talked about supporting the man the first time he met him. He arrogantly thought that he was just an ordinary office worker and it was a blessing for him to be noticed by him. He didn't consider anything else at all.

Moreover, during their long time together, Chen Shiman had always been wearing expensive clothes, and he had never considered hiding his identity. He had only preconceived notions, thinking that Chen Shiman had spent his money on the clothes.

But now I think about it, how could the little money he gave me be enough to buy those expensive haute couture items? It was obviously my own fault for being stupid, but I still blamed Chen Shiman for it all.

He never said that he was poor and lacked money. On the contrary, Gu Zhun now felt that he should kowtow to his ancestors and gods because Chen Shiman liked him.

Gu Zhun figured all this out after just a glass of wine at the banquet. What made him silent and twisted for so long was Chen Shiman's status. How could he ever be worthy of him?

Gu Zhun was puzzled.

I am just an ordinary working-class kid who accidentally entered the entertainment industry and made some extra money. But now I am facing a transformation. My career is uncertain. Whether it will be good or bad depends entirely on luck. The money I earn in a year may be just a drop in the bucket for others. With such an identity, how can I match Chen Shiman?

He wanted to give Chen Shiman the best life, but found that without him, he would have already stood at the top, while he was still at the foot of the mountain.
