Chapter 16
"Then I'll take Xu Wei to the convenience store at the entrance of the community?" Chen Shiman asked tentatively, eager to make a move.
Gu Zhun thought about it, and seeing that Chen Shiman was reluctantly being honest, and seeing Xu Wei's determined face, he suddenly felt that he really owed these two ancestors.
Later, he thought, forget about Xu Wei, but what about Chen Shiman? He was clearly the financial sponsor, so why was Chen Shiman still bossing him around?
But Gu Zhun had a good temper and didn't bother with Chen Shiman.
"Then I'll go to the parking lot and drive up." Gu Zhun took Xu Wei's hand, "Xu Wei, do you want to go down with your uncle?"
Although he asked this, Gu Zhun seemed to be sure that she would follow him down, and he took the initiative to hold the child in his arms.
But unfortunately, Xu Wei was making a fuss, patting Gu Zhun's chest with his little hands. "Uncle, I and big brother are waiting for you here."
The child's voice was just loud enough for the two of them to hear clearly in the dark night, but Gu Zhun suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing, and his heart went cold.
"Okay, but you have to listen to your brother."
Gu Zhun had no choice but to hand the child to Chen Shiman and then hurried to the parking lot.
On the way, Gu Zhun was thinking, this little girl Xu Wei is really interesting, she calls him uncle, and Chen Shiman is not much younger than her, but she actually calls him brother!
At night, the moon is round, bright and transparent, and the moonlight on the ground looks like a layer of silver frost.
Chen Shiman sat on the cold stone block with his hands clasped between his legs.
In fact, he is not good at getting along with children, and he doesn't like children very much - at least those in his family, who always stay away from him every time they see him; and Chen Shiman is also very self-aware and knows that he is not liked by children, otherwise why would a newborn baby burst into tears every time he went to see it.
But Xu Wei was quite strange. This child was very pleasing to Chen Shiman. He had a sweet smile and a pair of eyes that twinkled like stars. Chen Shiman suddenly thought of the child's father. In her impression, he was not a very handsome man. She thought that the child's mother must have good genes.
Gu Zhun acted quickly, and Chen Shiman suspected that the other party thought he was a human trafficker who wanted to kidnap Xu Wei.
Chen Shiman took the child into the car, he sat in the passenger seat and the child in the back seat.
After leaving the community, there was a convenience store next to the gate. It was inconvenient for Gu Zhun to get out of the car, so he parked it on the side of the road. Chen Shiman took Xu Wei to buy something. Before leaving, Gu Zhun advised: "Hurry up." He was afraid that there would be illegitimate children in such a crowded place.
Chen Shiman seemed to be aware of Gu Zhun's concerns and nodded.
Chen Shiman took Xu Wei in, took two bottles of mineral water, and then went to see Xu Wei.
Xu Wei was hesitating between Alps and Youha, so Chen Shiman picked up both. "It's okay, brother has money. If you want to eat, take it. It's your uncle's money anyway."
Chen Shiman smiled and said, "Do you want to eat anything else? Brother will pay for it today, okay?"
Xu Wei put his two small hands in front of him and moved them back and forth, as if he was wondering whether he could do it.
Chen Shiman took one glance and understood what the child was thinking - after all, everyone has been a child, but he was much more shameless when he was a child.
"Brother wants to eat, so go buy it with him, but we have to make it quick." Chen Shiman thought, it wouldn't be a big deal to let Gu Zhun wait for five more minutes.
So Chen Shiman took Xu Wei's hand and went shopping crazily in the store with a basket.
Chen Shiman loves cucumber-flavored potato chips, so he bought all the potato chips in the store, including the biscuits and spicy strips. Xu Wei followed behind him, his eyes shining and swallowing his saliva.
Chen Shiman murmured in his heart, doesn't Gu Zhun want to give it to the child? Although it is junk food, there is no big problem if he eats it occasionally.
Chen Shiman thought that if he had children in the future, he would definitely not be able to control them, and he would even have to snatch snacks from the children!
The two settled the bill. Chen Shiman carried the heavy snacks in one hand and held Xu Wei's hand with the other. Xu Wei, the little girl, had a lollipop in her mouth and said to Chen Shiman in a slurred voice, "Big brother, let me help you!"
Chen Shiman glanced at the weak child and said, "No need, just finish your lollipop and you'll be helping me!"
The two of them ran to the car in small steps. Chen Shiman put the snacks on the back seat and opened a bag of potato chips to share with Xu Wei.
Xu Wei's mouth was full of crumbs. Gu Zhun glanced at the full snack box through the rearview mirror, then looked at Chen Shiman, whose eyes were shining as he ate in the passenger seat, and couldn't help but start to teach him a lesson: "You've eaten too much—"
Chen Shiman knew what he was going to say, so she picked up a piece of potato chips and stuffed it into Gu Zhun's mouth without saying anything. Fortunately, the car had not started yet, so no big mistake was made.
The fresh fragrance of cucumber bloomed between his lips and teeth. Gu Zhun hadn't eaten these puffed foods for a long time.
As idols, body management is a compulsory course for them, and he has been prepared for a week of exercise for the meal he had at home today, not to mention these snacks he once liked.
"How much is it? I'll transfer it to you." Gu Zhun asked about the bag of snacks. He certainly knew that Chen Shiman bought it for Xu Wei on purpose.
"It's not like I don't have much money to spend." Chen Shiman suddenly had an idea. "But the other day in the entertainment industry, there was this rumor that a big director was having affairs with her. Is that true? I don't think it's likely. I grew up watching his movies. If he has character problems, it wouldn't have taken all these years for them to be exposed."
Chen Shiman ate potato chips and talked about it with relish.
Gu Zhun knew the director Chen Shiman was talking about. He was nearly 55 years old and had been making movies his entire life. He had spent the first half of his life making art films, pursuing so-called artistry. However, art didn't make money, and he was destitute. In the second half of his life, he took on commercial films one after another, relying on the profits from commercial films to support his art.
As for whether there are any unspoken rules, Gu Zhun doesn’t know. In essence, they are not in the same circle, and their film circle may not look down on the idol circle.
Gu Zhun told the truth and told everything he knew.
"Since I'm already in the car with you, please give me a ride." Chen Shiman's tone was not one of negotiation.
Gu Zhun glanced at the big bag of snacks and asked, "Where are you staying?"
This is simply the opposite of Tiangang.
"Jinshui Bay." Chen Shiman said without hesitation.
Hearing this, Gu Zhun was surprised.
This guy really lived there, and he didn't see any obvious signs of life there.
"What? You didn't expect it? What's the big deal?" Chen Shiman's tone was too relaxed, and no emotion could be seen at all.
Chen Shiman was thinking that after breaking up with Gu Zhun, he would connect the two houses together, which would be so cool.
Who would complain about having too many houses?
Gu Zhun closed his eyelids and said nothing more. The journey was smooth and it took less than half an hour to drive there.
"Goodbye, Boss~"
Chen Shiman opened the door and went downstairs, Xu Wei also ran downstairs, but Gu Zhun ignored him. The child had privacy and he could not control it.
The little guy pulled Chen Shiman to a street lamp, and Chen Shiman squatted down, "What's wrong, Xu Wei?"
Xu Wei pinched the corner of Chen Shiman's clothes and said, "Big brother, I have seen you before."
Chen Shiman was actually a bit surprised by this statement. He'd seen it before? How could that be possible? Could it be that Gu Zhun had shown it to him? This possibility was quickly dismissed. He guessed that with Gu Zhun's narcissism, it was more likely that his house was filled with photos of himself.
Xu Wei quickly spoke: "That day, my uncle picked me up from school and I saw you and took a picture."
Chen Shiman: “…”
It's not that this matter can't be overcome, right? Chen Shiman swore that he would never take photos anywhere again next time. Of course, this is impossible.
"Big brother looked very good that day too." Xu Wei continued to flatter him.
Chen Shiman wondered if he was that close that day. How could a seven-year-old see it so clearly? This didn't make sense. He was clearly hiding behind a telephone pole when he took the photo.
"Big brother, your technique is not very good. I didn't see any of the other candid photos."
This sentence broke Chen Shiman's heart in two. He wondered how a mouth with a temperature of 37 degrees could say such cold words. And Xu Wei, this girl, knew a lot at such a young age. Why didn't she take care of his self-esteem?
Chen Shiman finally raised his head and spoke earnestly, "Xu Wei, don't do this again next time, or your brother will be sad."
Xu Wei poked Chen Shiman's face and said, "Brother won't do that!"
Chen Shiman: “…”
"Brother, can you grant me a wish?" Xu Wei suddenly spoke, sincerely and seriously.
"you say."
Xu Wei came forward, covered his mouth with one hand, and whispered in Chen Shiman's ear.
After saying this, she looked at Chen Shiman stubbornly, fearing that he would not agree.
Chen Shiman was helpless. This requirement was actually a bit excessive, and it couldn't even be guaranteed to be completed 100%.
"Xiao Wei, are you sure?" He didn't understand why a child had to worry so much. Shouldn't children grow up happily and carefree?
"Yeah, big brother!"
Xu Wei stretched out his hand and made a pinky promise gesture.
Chen Shiman looked at the child, feeling hesitant. This was really asking too much.
In the end, Chen Shiman was lost in the child's eager eyes and completed the pinky promise.
"Okay, Xiaowei, go back to the car and don't keep your uncle waiting too long."
"Goodbye, big brother!"
Xu Wei waved his hand, "Good night, big brother!"
Chen Shiman watched Xu Wei get into the car before turning around and going back with peace of mind.
Gu Zhun, who had been waiting in the car for a long time, was instantly intrigued by Xu Wei's satisfied expression. He asked in an almost deceitful tone, "What did you say to big brother that makes you look so happy?"
He really wanted to know why Xu Weiyi was so happy when he saw Chen Shiman. This kid was not the type to get along well with others, and was even a little slow to warm up.
Xu Wei was laughing at first, but now she stopped laughing: "I won't tell you!" She seemed to have thought of something, "Uncle, why don't we invite big brother to sleep over at our house?"
"Why? Of course not." Gu Zhun felt puzzled.
Xu Wei brought out his own theory, "Big Brother and I are good friends, so why not? And I think Big Brother will be very happy."
Gu Zhun said nothing more and stepped on the accelerator to return home. He thought that this matter would end here, but unexpectedly, when he went to read a story to Xu Wei before going to bed, the girl said again: "Uncle, that big brother..."
"Big brother is not a good person." Gu Zhun blocked her mouth.
Xu Wei turned around and faced Gu Zhun with his back: "But uncle, that big brother is good-looking, and I have already made an agreement with him."
"What did you say?"
"It's a secret. I can't tell you. Uncle, please go out. I want to go to bed."
Even when Gu Zhun returned to his bed, he was still confused. What happened to the small one instead of the big one?
