Chapter 51
51
Wang Zhi had just completely forgotten about Xu Youyi and was just surprised by Gao Bocong's sudden arrival.
Hearing Gao Bochong ask this, Wang Zhi smiled sheepishly: "This is my senior from high school. I didn't expect to meet him on the set."
Wang Zhi wasn't a local; he came here after college and stayed there. Gao Bochong had read about all of this in his profile, but this was the first time he'd run into one of Wang Zhi's former friends.
He gave Xu Youyi an extra look.
When his eyes passed over Xu Youyi's face, he paused slightly.
Xu Youyi has an extremely gentle and elegant face. He wears a pair of tortoise-shell glasses, which makes him look gentle and refined. He became a university professor in his twenties, which undoubtedly made him very satisfied with his life. This satisfaction gave rise to a pride that was not arrogant. He was truly a child of destiny.
That's all.
At least in front of me, that's all.
Gao Bochong has seen too many gifted people, and only the best one can appear in front of him and talk freely, just to get a chance.
But... he is Wang Zhi's senior.
Oh.
Gao Bochong smiled coldly in his heart.
There are thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in a high school. I wonder how many people can be called seniors? Does that mean they have a close relationship with you?
Gao Bochong extended his hand. The iris ring on his little finger gleamed with a cold light that symbolized power and status. "Gao Bochong. My childish husband."
Xu Youyi had long been aware of Gao Bochong's scrutinizing gaze, and he also sensed the contempt of someone in power beneath it. However, his usual good manners prevented him from showing any dissatisfaction. He simply smiled and said, "Xu Youyi. Mr. Gao, you are a lucky man."
Only with good luck can you marry Wang Zhi.
This sounded like a compliment, but it didn't really have any compliment in it. Instead, it seemed like a subtle criticism of Gao Bochong, saying that he married Wang Zhi only out of luck, not because of Wang Zhi's love.
Gao Bochong said calmly: "Luck is also a part of strength."
There was a hidden current between the two of them as their eyes met. Gao Bochong looked away first, but he did not admit defeat. Instead, he took Wang Zhi into his arms and kissed him lightly on the forehead. Wang Zhi felt a little uncomfortable with being so close in front of outsiders, but he still cooperated and raised his head and smiled at Gao Bochong.
Gao Bochong was satisfied and said, "I have something to talk to Ning Ruji about, so I'll excuse myself first."
He hugged Wang Zhi with his broad palms, almost covering most of Wang Zhi's waist. Wang Zhi's slender and tall figure seemed even smaller than a hand in his arms.
Xu Youyi frowned and stared at the backs of the two people leaving.
Wang Zhi suddenly turned around, waved at him, and mouthed, "Goodbye, senior."
Xu Youyi couldn't help laughing and waved his hand. Only then did Wang Zhi turn his head away contentedly.
When he was out of sight, the smile on Xu Youyi's face faded, and his expression became even colder and more gloomy than before.
Ning Ruji was discussing the camera arrangement with the cameraman and was a little surprised to hear that Gao Bochong had arrived: "What is he doing here?"
But Gao Bochong had invested a lot personally and was the well-deserved biggest boss of their film, so Ning Ruji still put down her work and came to greet him.
Is it that he wants to add more scenes for Wang Zhi?
Ning Ruji's mind works very quickly.
He grew up abroad and was influenced by capital. Although he photographed art, art was made with money. Ning Ruji did not have the consciousness of being an artist, but rather was more like a businessman.
Isn't it just adding drama?
Yes, but it costs extra!
Ning Ruji, feeling like "the God of Wealth has arrived," went to greet Gao Bochong with a smile: "Old Gao, why are you here so often?"
Gao Bochong smiled slightly: "I'm free today, so I came to see Zhizhi."
"Haha, you're so happy after a short separation." Ning Ruji said caringly, "Stay here tonight. I'll treat you to grilled snake meat."
Gao Bochong said, "Okay. But I have a small request."
Here it comes, Ning Ruji thought to himself, the God of Wealth is about to add to the drama.
Ning Ruji said: "Don't worry, Xiao Wang's role..."
Gao Bochong said, "I'll probably come here more often in the future and bother you guys."
…
Ning Ruji asked, "What?"
Gao Bochong came here in a helicopter just to see his wife?
Ning Ruji suspected that Gao Bochong was joking with her, but when she looked at Gao Bochong, she found that he was really not joking!
He just came to see his wife!
Ning Ruji began to doubt herself, wondering if she had forgotten her original intention and had actually tainted pure love with money.
Wang Zhi also asked in a low voice: "Will you come here often in the future?"
Gao Bochong smiled and said, "Not welcome?"
"no……"
Wang Zhi took a quick look and saw that all the staff around him had their ears perked up, peeking in as if inadvertently. It was really because Gao Bo Chong was so famous that people couldn't help but be curious.
I don't want to be the focus like this.
Wang Zhi doesn't like to be in the spotlight.
Helicopters and the like are really a bit too much.
But Gao Bochong always came to see me with good intentions, and it would be unreasonable for me to show too much resistance.
Wang Zhi adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "I'm just worried that you'll be too tired."
Gao Bochong didn't know if he could tell from his insincerity, so he just smiled without saying anything. Wang Zhi thought that his agreement to let Ning Ruji stay was just a polite remark, but that night, Li Yun actually sent over an extra set of quilts and pillows.
Wang Zhi: ...
Wang Zhi looked at Gao Bochong suspiciously: "Do you really want to stay?"
"Didn't your director say that a short separation is better than a new marriage?" Gao Bochong had already changed into his pajamas and sat down on the edge of the bed, patting his knees. "Come here."
Is the sound insulation here good?
Wang Zhi felt a little guilty, but also a little expectant. He walked over slowly, sat on Gao Bocong's lap, and put his arms around Gao Bocong's neck.
Gao Bochong raised his eyebrows, kissed him and said, "Don't be impatient, let's not do that now, go down first."
…
Why is he patting his legs if he doesn't do anything, and he's kissing himself!
I seem like a little pervert.
Wang Zhi's face turned red. She jumped up from Gao Bochong's legs and sat down aside angrily.
Seeing that he was angry, Gao Bo Chong smiled, bent down, grabbed his ankle, pulled Wang Zhi's legs up, and placed them on his knees.
Wang Zhi struggled for a moment, tilting his head to look at Gao Bochong: "What? I'm very tired today, I don't want to do it."
He had just finished taking a shower, and his body temperature was higher than usual. A clear and subtle fragrance floated in the air, mixed with the cold and biting air in the mountains, like a flower blooming in the cold night, fragrant and silent.
Gao Bochong held his ankle, feeling his fingers sinking slightly into the smooth and soft skin, and the fragrance also drifted along the skin.
"I know." Gao Bochong ran his fingers across his calf. "Did you get bit by a mosquito?"
Wang Zhi hummed and shuddered, "Itchy."
Why is Gao Bochong touching his mosquito bite?
"The mosquitoes in the mountains are poisonous. I told Li Yun to remember to bring medicine. Didn't he give it to you?"
Wang Zhi tried to hide, but Gao Bochong's grip was firm, so he couldn't dodge. He had no choice but to support himself on the bed, biting his lip and saying, "I gave it to you..."
"Then why didn't you paint it?"
"Oh, I forgot." Wang Zhi was afraid that Gao Bochong would blame Li Yun and put the blame on himself, so he reached for the medicine on the bedside and said, "I'll apply it now."
But Gao Bochong easily held him down and took the medicine: "I'll do it."
The slightly bitter medicinal scent was extremely refreshing, and once opened, it instantly suppressed the sweet aroma in the room. Wang Zhi's calves were slender, his bones were sleek, and his snow-white skin was dotted with red marks. He had unconsciously scratched a few of them while sleeping last night, and now they were scabs, making him look a little pitiful.
Gao Bochong applied the ointment to the mosquito bite. The cool touch immediately dispelled the uncomfortable itching. Wang Zhi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and heard Gao Bochong ask him, "Are you close to your senior?"
Wang Zhi didn't suspect anything and replied lazily, "Not bad. My senior is popular and seems to have a good relationship with everyone. He even left me his phone number and told me to look for him after I got into university."
"Why didn't you go?"
The emotional fluctuations he had felt today when he met Xu Youyi had subsided. Wang Zhi said calmly, "I didn't pass the entrance exam. You went to Peking University, and I only got into an ordinary university. How could I have the nerve to go?"
Gao Bochong said: "I remember you got a fever while trying to save someone in the water. Did you fail the college entrance examination?"
Wang Zhi didn't expect that he even knew this. He was silent for a moment, then said casually, "Good deeds don't always go unrewarded. If I had known this, I wouldn't have gone down to save him."
But Gao Bochong looked at him and seemed to be able to see through what he was thinking.
Wang Zhi lowered his eyes and didn't look at Gao Bochong. In his sight, he saw Gao Bochong's fingers, with thick knuckles and slender fingers, full of distinct masculine characteristics.
Wang Zhi was a little afraid of such people because he had been thin and delicate since he was a child. He was called a little girl when he was young. After going to school, he always had trouble getting along with such overly tall men.
So he was very afraid of Gao Bochong from the very beginning. It was probably a nature engraved in his bones and it was not something he could change when he grew up.
But just before the college entrance examination, at the most important moment in his life, he jumped into the water and saved the man he feared and hated the most.
If only I hadn't jumped into the water.
Wang Zhi tilted his head back, thinking aimlessly.
But I really can't bear to watch someone die in front of me.
"hiss--"
Wang Zhi suddenly gasped.
Gao Bochong's hands were rubbing his calves vigorously. Hearing the sound of pain, Gao Bochong said, "Did you go hiking with Ning Ruji today? Your muscles are so stiff. If you don't stretch them, they will hurt even more tomorrow."
Wang Zhi grimaced in pain and said with difficulty, "Be gentle..."
"Does it hurt here?" Gao Bochong said with even greater force, "Bear with it."
Wang Zhi couldn't stand it any longer, and just as he stood up and was about to resist, Gao Bochong suddenly stuffed something into his hand. Wang Zhi subconsciously took a look and saw that it was a jewelry box. When he opened it, it revealed a mechanical watch full of diamonds. The rose gold case shone brightly under the light, making people's eyes hurt.
…
Wang Zhi softened again.
Gao Bochong asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"
Wang Zhi held the watch and answered elegantly, "Not bad."
Nothing Gao Bochong gave was cheap. Judging from Wang Zhi's daily study of luxury goods, this watch must be worth more than one million.
Holding a million-dollar treasure in his arms, his heart feels sweeter than honey. No matter if it hurts, he just has to bear it.
He held the watch in his hand, the smile on his face was very sincere, much more sincere than the one he showed to Gao Bochong. Gao Bochong should have been displeased, but looking at his smile, his heart softened, as if as long as he was happy, he would be happy too.
After applying the medicine and stretching Wang Zhi, Gao Bochong stood up and said, "I'm going to wash my hands."
Wang Zhi admired her new watch again, followed Gao Bochong in her slippers, and hugged his waist from behind. "Honey, thank you for your gift. I like it very much."
In front of the sink, the faucet was running, and the sound of water splashing into the marble sink made a crisp sound. Wang Zhi covered his mouth, half leaning there, his fingers grasping Gao Bochong's hair like a spasm.
Gao Bochong half-knelt in front of him, pinching his waist with both hands, as if picking ripe grapes from the tree.
Wang Zhi raised his head weakly, his neck and jaw forming an alluring and erotic curve. His voice sounded like crying, but with indescribable joy. A blush appeared on his snow-white face, and together with the falling sweat, it blended into a mist.
A moment of pleasure.
At dawn, the sound of helicopters rang out very early, but Wang Zhi slept until the alarm clock rang, and then he woke up reluctantly, rubbing his eyes.
There is still no filming today. Ning Ruji said that he wanted to take everyone to have an immersive experience in nature. Now he is wandering around the mountain looking for inspiration. When he returns to the residence in the evening, he will take everyone to the yard to absorb the essence of heaven and earth.
…
Is Ning Ruji really an overseas Chinese?
Why do they seem more superstitious than these native Chinese people?
But Wang Zhi was very lucky. Fortunately, Gao Bochong gave him a massage and stretching last night, otherwise he would definitely not be able to keep up with Ning Ruji today.
He kept following her. Ning Ruji was still surprised, but her eyes towards him also became much hotter. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with his good physical strength.
This was Wang Zhi's first time filming with Ning Ruji, and he had heard about his habit of only having an outline of the script, with all the inspiration in his head, which he would not tell the actors until filming began.
So Wang Zhi only knew that he was going to play a mute boy, but he knew nothing about the specific background and story content, and he didn't even know which male role he was. When Ning Ruji edited it into a film, he might only have one or two shots.
That's fine too.
Being able to eat braised noodles in Director Ning's movie is a rare honor for a young actor like him. A little more or a little is all experience.
But maybe if I can make Ning Ruji more satisfied, I can edit more shots?
Wang Zhi had a good attitude. He mingled with the crowd, closed his eyes, and pretended to be experiencing nature and absorbing energy.
Someone suddenly stood next to him. Wang Zhi quietly opened half of his eye and saw Xu Youyi looking at him.
Perhaps because he didn't expect Wang Zhi to suddenly open his eyes, Xu Youyi had a strange expression on his face. He looked at him with a concentration that was a little scary.
But in just a split second, Xu Youyi quickly adjusted his expression and became the gentle and considerate senior Wang Zhi was familiar with, teasing, "Are you being lazy?"
Got caught.
Wang Zhi felt like he was caught red-handed in class for not paying attention. He blinked and whispered, "Senior, don't tell on me."
Xu Youyi laughed: "Then you have to bribe me."
When the group was about to disperse, Wang Zhi ran to buy two cans of Coke and gave one to Xu Youyi: "Is one bottle of Coke enough for a bribe?"
Xu Youyi doesn't usually drink this kind of carbonated drink, but when Wang Zhi handed it to him with a smile on his face, he subconsciously reached out to take it. Wang Zhi had already opened his own can and took a sip with his head tilted back. His delicate Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his face, which was a little red from the sun, had a very bright smile.
Xu Youyi suddenly remembered last night.
He lived next door to Wang Zhi, and could vaguely hear sounds like the wind blowing through flower petals, brushing against fragrant and ethereal shadows, and a little bit of crying, which made people's hearts itch.
It was Wang Zhi's voice.
It was Wang Zhi who was under her husband, in perfect harmony, enjoying the pleasure.
They were so close now, but he could no longer say what he wanted to say.
Xu Youyi turned his head and poured the cold cola into his throat.
Wang Zhi looked at the time and then looked up at the sky.
I don’t know if Gao Bo Chong will come today.
Xu Youyi asked, "What are you looking at?"
Wang Zhi said casually: "The weather is good today, suitable for flying."
If he comes, Gao Bochong should still take his helicopter.
Xu Youyi sensed the anticipation in his words, and felt a bitterness in her heart. She forced herself to maintain a smile, "Yeah, the weather has been nice lately. Xiaozhi..."
He hesitated, "You and your husband seem to have a good relationship."
"Of course." Wang Zhi said affirmatively, "How can we get married if our relationship is not good?"
His relationship with Gao Bochong is like Gao Bochong's wealth.
Xu Youyi said, "But weren't you in love with his younger brother before?"
Although Xu Youyi was not in this circle, he was in college and was well-informed about the news among the intellectuals. It was not a secret that Wang Zhi was with Gao Fengming before, and Gao Bo Chong did not order it to be covered up afterwards, so Xu Youyi could find out by just asking around.
Wang Zhi was a little surprised that Xu Youyi would go out of her way to inquire about her personal affairs: "...Well, if it's not suitable, we broke up."
"Little Zhi." Xu Youyi said, "I thought you had changed, but in fact, you are still exactly the same as before. You keep everything in your heart."
Is there?
In fact, Wang Zhi no longer remembers what he was like in the past. He only remembers that he was not very popular and was even ostracized and bullied at the beginning. Fortunately, he was smart and quickly found the person who led the bullying. He then gave advice to his mortal enemy and got that person kicked out of the school.
How old was I then? To be able to do something like this, I must have been born smart.
Wang Zhi said, "It's okay, senior, I think my life is pretty good."
"You and Gao Bochong...you and your husband, was your marriage really voluntary?" Xu Youyi stared into his eyes, as if trying to find clues from his eyes. "Did he threaten you?"
Wang Zhi frowned, his smile slowly disappearing. He looked at Xu Youyi, his tone no longer as light and gentle as before, and said with a bit of caution: "Senior, why do you ask such a question? It's my husband, how did he offend you?"
Xu Youyi said: "I just care about you."
"Thank you for your concern, but I don't need it," Wang Zhi said politely but coldly. "Besides, I find your question offensive and makes me a little unhappy. Bo Chong and I made a vow before God, witnessed by our family and friends, that our marriage is based on love, not what you call threats. Even if we're not suitable, we don't need outsiders to interfere."
Xu Youyi didn't expect Wang Zhi to react so strongly, and was at a loss for a moment: "That's not what I meant..."
"Whatever it means, I hope I don't have to hear these words again." Wang Zhi smiled and said without emotion, "Senior, I'm a little tired. I'll go back first."
He threw the Coke into the trash can and walked away without any regrets.
Xu Youyi looked at his back and realized what he had done wrong——
Wang Zhi was not forced to get married!
He thought that Gao Bocong had used some powerful means to snatch Wang Zhi from his brother, but now it seems that the relationship between Wang Zhi and him is much closer than he imagined.
...I was too impulsive.
But when he thought of the vague yet unforgettable voice last night, Xu Youyi felt that he could no longer think rationally.
Wang Zhi was also very angry after turning around.
Why did you say that, senior?
Yes... Did he realize that there was something wrong with his relationship with Gao Bochong?
Yes, Wang Zhi actually knew that her marriage with Gao Bochong was not normal.
If others get together because of love, then what they enter into is an exchange of interests.
Wang Zhi felt a little guilty and irritated, but he didn't know why he reacted so strongly.
Xu Youyi was right. Why should I be angry with him?
It's like... it's like someone said something right and I got angry out of shame...
Aren’t my feelings towards Gao Bo Chong more than just treating him as a financial sponsor?
The sunset glow gradually fell into the valley, and the night slowly enveloped the entire earth. Wang Zhi did not eat and went straight back to his room. He opened the door with a lot on his mind and turned on the light.
Then I was startled.
Gao Bochong was sitting on the sofa, looking at him quietly.
Wang Zhi hadn't expected anyone to be in the room. His heart was beating very fast. He covered his chest and said, "You scared me to death."
Gao Bochong didn't say anything, but just stood up and walked over.
He was so tall that even in the slightly cramped room, he seemed even more imposing, almost suffocating. Wang Zhi subconsciously stepped back, his back hitting the wall, and with a "click", the light that had been on was turned off again.
The lights flickered on and off, leaving Gao Bo Chong's tall figure in his sight. Wang Zhi felt that Gao Bo Chong had finally walked in front of him and stopped one step away from him.
This is an extremely intimidating distance, an invasion of private boundaries, like a ferocious beast that has leaped in front of you, sizing up where to bite.
In the dark room, Gao Bochong's voice was low and carried a casual smile, as if he was just chatting: "Why are you back so late?"
Wang Zhi felt inexplicably nervous. He hadn't done anything, but subconsciously, he didn't want Gao Bochong to know about his conversation with Xu Youyi: "... I chatted with the director for a few minutes and was delayed."
Gao Bochong on the opposite side took another half step forward.
The distance between them is so close that it can be ignored.
It seemed as if even the air had been cleared out, leaving only the man's cold and restrained aura, which domineeringly took away all of Wang Zhi's breath.
Gao Bochong seemed to laugh: "So it's with the director?"
Wang Zhi felt a chill down his spine. He realized that he had said something wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. He could only bite the bullet and say, "Well...husband, didn't you come by plane?"
"Don't you dislike it?" Gao Bochong lowered his head and kissed his earlobe, his tone cold yet intimate, "Why would I do something that my baby doesn't like?"
Wang Zhi didn't expect that Gao Bochong could even notice such a small emotion of his. His heart warmed up. Although he was still very nervous, he still raised his hands and hugged Gao Bochong's neck and rubbed it: "I just think it attracts too much attention. It's not that I don't like you to come to see me."
His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of being heard, so when he spoke, his lips were very close, almost touching Gao Bochong's ear.
Gao Bochong paused, feeling his smooth cheek rubbing against his neck, bringing a touch that was both cool and hot.
The surging anger in my heart was replaced by another even hotter heat.
He didn't tell Wang Zhi that he had arrived a long time ago.
Because Wang Zhi didn't like the attention-grabbing effect of airplanes, he changed cars and asked the driver to drive halfway up the mountain in advance, hoping to give Wang Zhi a surprise.
But he saw Wang Zhi and Xu Youyi talking and laughing happily.
It was also evening, and everyone had a bottle of soda. Just like the day of the race, it was a beautiful day with no clouds in the sky and bright red clouds all over.
Wang Zhi's smile was bright and charming, and seemed to be no different from when he looked at herself.
Gao Bochong was unwilling to admit it, but the jealous anger did not disappear because of his denial.
At that moment, he looked at Xu Youyi, and what he was thinking in his mind was extremely terrible. If even a little bit of it was leaked, his wife would be shocked and frightened, and she would never forgive him in her life.
So he wouldn't let him know.
Never.
