Chapter 23
"What are you doing here?" Gu Zhun's hand was tightly gripping the door handle, without even sticking his head out, but he used his peripheral vision to identify people in the room.
He thought this was really dirtying his eyes.
Zhong Tianpei touched his nose, seeming a little embarrassed, "Gu Zhun, you are susceptible to infection."
Nothing could have made him more certain than the tone of the statement.
He turned his wrist and spoke to Gu Zhun in an almost stubborn and sinister tone, "I find that even when you are in such a mess, you are very much to my liking."
With a feeling of secret joy and excitement, Zhong Tianpei took a step forward.
Because of his action, Gu Zhun had to take a step back and push the door forward a little to leave a smaller gap.
Seeing his action, Zhong Tianpei laughed self-deprecatingly and took a step back. "Why are you so defensive against me? I won't eat you. You know, Gu Zhun, I've always respected you. Otherwise, why would I tamper with your fragrance?"
After saying this, Zhong Tianpei tilted his head slightly, revealing a pitiful and innocent expression. "You should thank me. At least I didn't do it myself."
Gu Zhun's stern gaze pierced Zhong Tianpei, and his fingertips turned white from exerting too much force.
No wonder this happened. Although Gu Zhun had some glandular issues, it rarely flared up inexplicably like this. No wonder, it turned out to be Zhong Tianpei's doing. Such despicable means were indeed what he would do.
"After so many years, your methods are still so despicable." Gu Zhun sneered without mercy.
He still remembered the first time he met Zhong Tianpei. He had a guitar on his back, dyed red hair, and lip and brow studs jingling on his face. His whole gait was like that of a second-generation rich kid, as if everyone owed him money.
At first sight, Gu Zhun didn't like this person very much. Zhang Yang was not wrong, but the thorns on Zhong Tianpei's body at that time would hurt everyone.
Later they formed a group together, and Gu Zhun put aside these prejudices and worked diligently.
But some people will not stop at the right time and will only make things worse.
Zhong Tianpei looked at Gu Zhun's face. It was the same as before, except that his cheeks were a little red and his eyes were blurry. Despite this, Zhong Tianpei felt that Gu Zhun was undoubtedly handsome. His narrow eyes narrowed, like a predatory cat, ready to scratch someone at any time.
And he likes to play this kind of cat and mouse game or the game of the oriole behind the scenes the most.
"Tell me why, every time I hear you scold me, I get extremely excited."
Zhong Tianpei touched his face and licked his dry lips with his flexible tongue.
His tongue was too red and the way he licked was too wanton.
"Gu Zhun, you're always like this, so high and mighty, but I really like you like this. But your performance today disappointed me. I thought you would cause a scene with that fool Bai Sisi on the set. It seems that you are a little more tactful and clever than before."
Zhong Tianpei's tone sounded very cheerful, as if he was happy about the victory.
He thought, Gu Zhun finally bowed his head, that was all.
Gu Zhun glanced at the person in front of him coldly, "You are sick."
The heat in the glands seemed to be gradually increasing, and Gu Zhun felt tired all over. He forced himself to use all his strength to try to close the door.
But a person in a susceptible period is incomparable to a normal Alpha.
Just as Gu Zhun's door was about to close, Zhong Tianpei, who was outside, easily held it against him and pushed it back, saying contemptuously, "Do you think I came here just to sing a song with that bitch Xu Ming? Gu Zhun, you underestimate me. Today, you can't escape from my grasp, just like he did back then."
Zhong Tianpei lowered his voice to a low and deep level. He took a slow step forward, almost pressing on Gu Zhun's shoulder, and continued to speak that voice from hell directly into Gu Zhun's ear: "What do you think? Didn't you see it with your own eyes?"
As Zhong Tianpei's deep, devilish laughter echoed, Gu Zhun's skin crawled with goosebumps. His pupils suddenly shrank, his hands suddenly went numb, and distant memories seemed to rush towards him from every corner.
"Zhong Tianpei, did I ever tell you not to mention this again?" Gu Zhun suddenly raised his head. "Did I ever tell you that if you mention this again, you'll die a miserable death?"
"Oh my God, look at yourself now, what can you do? I can do it. You are almost there." Zhong Tianpei was determined to win. He had waited for this day for too long.
Gu Zhun frowned and looked at Zhong Tianpei. The facial features of the man in front of him began to distort. Gu Zhun straightened his back and looked at the crazy man with distance and indifference.

Chen Shiman sat up. He had just hung up the phone, still a little dazed and in a trance. He sat stiffly on the bed for three full minutes, and Gu Zhun's words echoed in his mind again: "Chen Shiman, I'm susceptible to infection. Come here."
Chen Shiman almost jumped out of bed, "Oh my god, I was so sleepy, brother Junzi, if you hit me again I'll be there!"
So Chen Shiman quickly washed and dressed, and his feet seemed to be wearing a pair of Hot Wheels. He looked at the room number sent by Gu Zhun and ran straight there.
Chen Shiman arrived in the afternoon.
After all, today is the weekend, so he returned home as agreed and had dinner with his brother. His parents, who were traveling, also came back, and the four of them had a sumptuous lunch - all made by Chen Mocheng.
During this time, several people were chatting and laughing. Chen Shiman listened to what his parents saw and heard along the way. They described it vividly, and Chen Shiman felt as if he was there himself.
By the end of the meal, the food on the table was cold and a small mountain of bones had piled up in the bone dish.
Chen Shiman ate until his stomach was bloated and his mouth was covered in grease, which earned him several scoldings from Chen Mocheng. Later, he picked up his phone, which was charging nearby, and saw a missed call from Xiao Jiang, along with several messages. He instantly jumped off the stool and yelled, "Brother! I need to go out for a minute!"
Chen Mocheng was washing dishes at the time. Seeing his brother dancing around, he knew it was not a good thing. But considering that the other party had been behaving well during this period, Chen Mocheng let Chen Shiman out and told him not to play outside too late.
Chen Shiman answered with "hmm" and "ah", not really taking it seriously at all.
On the way, Chen Shiman was thinking about Xiao Jiang’s last words: Brother Gu said you shouldn’t come.
Chen Shiman didn't know if he was too fond of speculation, but he always felt that Xiao Jiang's words, in Gu Zhun's mouth, should be like this:
"Tell him he doesn't have to come!"
A stern face, serious and expressionless, cold, or with a hint of anger in the tone.
Chen Shiman thought, Gu Zhun forbade him to go, but he insisted on going. So, in order to prevent Gu Zhun from doing something, he specially chose to contact Liu Weiwei after arriving in City B.
It’s just that Gu Zhun didn’t see it because he fell asleep first due to the fatigue from the journey.
I slept until dark and there was lightning and thunder outside.
Chen Shiman thought that in such weather, he would definitely have to stay here tonight. Coincidentally, Gu Zhun was sensitive to the weather, so it wouldn't be a waste of time to go and keep him company.
Chen Shiman hummed a song, his legs moving at a moderate pace. It suddenly occurred to him that Gu Zhun had something to ask of him, and he decided to take advantage of it.
I haven't heard any gossip or any groundless rumors during this period of time, so today I must force something out of the other party.
With this idea in mind, Chen Shiman felt that it would be a good idea to let Gu Zhun endure the torture of being susceptible for a while longer. He had been through it for so many years, so this time wouldn't be a big deal.
So Chen Shiman met Xiao Jiang on the road and chatted with him for a while.
He had just woken up and hadn't heard anything about what happened at the recording site. Now that he had heard about it from Xiao Jiang, he kept asking him questions.
"Are you kidding me? Why is this show like this?"
"There are Zhong Tianpei and Xu Ming here? This is a massive Shura field."
"I feel sorry for Gu Zhun for a second, but then again, he makes so much money."
"Hey, Xiao Jiang, what was Bai Sisi's reaction? When the show airs, I'll have to see what the director is going to edit it into."
Chen Shiman's little thoughts began to stir.
If he knew so much had happened in one afternoon, he definitely wouldn't have gone to sleep. Any question about anyone at the scene would be a big piece of gossip. Now that it's been so long, those people must have been silenced.
Chen Shiman felt a little sorry.
"Brother Chen, where are you going? Let's go eat." Xiao Jiang suggested.
Chen Shiman came back to his senses, as if he was pulled up by a string, "Damn it, I forgot! Xiao Jiang doesn't want to talk to you, I'm leaving first!"
Chen Shiman started running.
He lingered in the elevator, thinking of giving Gu Zhun a little warning, but he didn't expect to meet Xiao Jiang on the way. Now he was late beyond Chen Shiman's estimation.
He hoped that Gu Zhun could hold on a little longer, or that he could ask fewer questions, be gentler to him, and try to meet his demands as much as possible.
Chen Shiman's idea was perfect, but he didn't expect that Gu Zhun's door couldn't be knocked open and his cell phone couldn't be reached.
At first, Chen Shiman called Liu Weiwei and asked in a roundabout way about Gu Zhun's whereabouts. As a result, Liu Weiwei seemed to be busy with socializing, and finally quickly told him that Gu Zhun was in the room and not to disturb his rest.
So the clever Chen Shiman immediately hung up the phone and looked at the closed door and fell into deep thought.
Gu Zhun's previous call had sounded urgent and his thoughts were not confused. Chen Shiman did not think that a person who had endured susceptibility for several years would be unconscious and unable to answer the phone at this time - and would not open the door for a long time even though he knew someone was coming.
So Chen Shiman thought for a moment and called Wang Yanyue, who was far away in City A. "I'm at your hotel in City B. Please help me check the surveillance. Gu Zhun is missing."
Chen Shiman thought that he just looked stupid, but as Chen Mocheng's younger brother, many things were just him pretending to be stupid, not that he didn't understand.
Gu Zhun was in a susceptible period, and Zhong Tianpei happened to be here. He remembered that he heard the persistent doorbell ringing when he was talking to Gu Zhun on the phone.
Chen Shiman's heart sank to the bottom, and he said to Wang Yanyue, "Find a few people who can talk big and come to 15025 to find me."
Wang Yanyue rarely heard Chen Shiman speak in such a serious and anxious tone. Naturally, he stopped smiling and quickly contacted the hotel manager to retrieve the surveillance footage from the 15th floor.
Wang Yanyue didn't care too much. He sent the retrieved surveillance video first, and then slowly pulled the progress bar to see what was happening at the door of the corresponding room, until he saw a tall man standing at the door of 15025. Then the door was opened and Gu Zhun came out. The two seemed to be arguing. Not long after, the man at the door seemed to attack Gu Zhun. Then, the man carried Gu Zhun on his back with a triumphant smile.
After watching this video, Wang Yanyue felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly messaged Chen Shiman, but he didn't get a single reply. Suddenly, Wang Yanyue felt something was amiss, and his heart raced. He once again requested more bodyguards for Chen Shiman.
Wang Yanyue thought that his hotel was destined to be in turmoil that night, so it seemed that he had to make preparations for the aftermath in advance.
