Chapter 29
Chen Shiman sat upright in the chair, looking at the male model warmly and sincerely, his eyes no less eager for knowledge than when he was in middle school.
"Tell me, how do you know for sure that you like someone?"
When the male model heard this question, he was surprised for a moment. No one would come to the bar to ask such an innocent question. There was only hypocrisy here.
This is a really interesting customer.
"Do you like him? Maybe you miss him terribly when you can't see him and want to stay by his side all the time. Or maybe you want to know what he is doing all the time. When you see him being wronged, you want to stand up for him. You want all the good things in the world to be placed in front of him for him to choose from. You hope that all the good luck can happen to him - or maybe it's just that you can talk about everything with him and live a simple life." The male model's low voice came from the darkness.
Chen Shiman noticed that when he said this, it was as if he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth. His whole body was light and his voice was rising. His voice was gentle but lonely. Chen Shiman glanced over and saw that he seemed to be a little lonely again, his eyes were empty and his hands were tightly clasped together.
Even someone as slow-witted as Chen Shiman could sense the surge at this moment.
He asked tentatively: "Do you have someone you like?"
The male model looked at Chen Shiman seriously and nodded heavily, "I like him very much!" The man looked at Chen Shiman's innocent face and took a sip of the wine on the table, "But - hey."
He gripped the wine glass, his bony fingers shimmering in the light. He spread his legs, elbows propped up on his thighs, and slowly and gracefully poured himself a glass of wine. His unbuttoned shirt was now bulging with his chest muscles. He tilted his head back, his Adam's apple rolling down his throat, and a little liquid flowed from the corner of his mouth onto his white shirt.
Chen Shiman looked at the male model, thought again and again, and asked: "Then why did you come here?" Even if you don't sell your body, it is difficult to completely resist physical contact in such a place.
How painful and disgusting it would be to be touched by someone else when you have someone you like.
Chen Shiman suddenly felt a little sorry for this person.
The male model laughed dryly twice, as if squeezed out from the back of his throat. Finally, he wiped his face and said, "Yes, that's why I came here - sir, how old are you this year?"
"twenty three."
"You're so young! I'm already 27." He smiled and shook his head. "So, do you have someone you like? Then did you come here to prove that you really like him?"
Chen Shiman nodded, "But I don't feel anything like what you said."
He wouldn't want to know what Gu Zhun was doing all the time, nor would he say that he wanted to stay by his side forever... At most, if he saw someone scolding Gu Zhun on Weibo, he would scold back without hesitation.
But this…
Perhaps it was just because he had always been by Gu Zhun's side, saw his efforts and helplessness, and didn't want others to frame him for no reason.
The male model said, "Sir, not everyone has it as hard as I do. Because I can't always see him, I will always miss him. Because I can't stay by his side for long, my greatest wish is to be by his side as a friend... All these things I hope for are because I don't have them, so I want them. You said you don't feel anything for these things, maybe it's because you already have them: his company, his gaze, his tenderness."
This answer really shocked Chen Shiman.
Is it because he has it?
But this is only temporary. They will keep their distance after the contract ends. Gu Zhun was not very gentle to her. He almost cost her her life in bed. As for his gaze?
He only sees his own future, and it is a big deal if he can spare a little attention for him.
Chen Shiman felt that his ideas made sense, so he nodded first, then shook his head.
Seeing his expression, the male model continued, "The first kiss he and I had was a secret one, when we were 24. It's quite funny, isn't it?" The man nodded. "We were both drunk that day - but I can hold my liquor pretty well, otherwise I wouldn't be doing this now. I was the one who sent him home that day, and then I kissed him secretly in the taxi. Actually, apart from telling you today, no one else knows about it, and I haven't mentioned it to anyone else."
It was a stolen kiss, and he didn't even have the chance to show off. He could only take this opportunity today to vent his pent-up love.
Chen Shiman frowned and stared at the man intently, a little puzzled. "You are quite good-looking..."
"Some things cannot be defined by these superficial things - of course these are the premises."
That makes sense.
"So how did you feel at that time, huh? Were you so excited that you wanted to jump out of the car?" Chen Shiman was eager for success.
"If I had jumped out of the car, what you'd see now would be a ghost," the man joked. He poured himself another glass of wine, but this time he didn't drink it. Instead, he put it under his nose and sniffed it. "At that time—it was too long ago, but I remember that day. The weather was great, late at night, but the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. He and I were sitting in the back seat of a taxi, and he was leaning on my shoulder. I had rolled down the taxi window, and as the hot wind blew past, his hair kept tickling my neck. I felt really itchy, so I lowered my head to look at him, and I couldn't help it, so I held his head and kissed him. At that time, I don't know if it was because a big truck passed by, but I felt a very loud noise next to my ears, and then I was panicking—thinking what if he wasn't drunk, what if he was discovered."
The male model drank the glass of wine, "but he didn't notice, so we have been living in peace ever since."
When something is remembered for so long, it is truly unforgettable.
"Sir, you are a very good person. In fact, whether you like someone or not can be felt at the moment of kissing. If you don't like someone, it will only feel disgusting. You are a good person. Maybe you can be braver. After all, love makes people brave. I believe that the other person is also a very good person and worthy of your love."
Chen Shiman looked at him suspiciously. He said that bravery is about love, so why did he have to linger on for so many years without seeing the light of day?
But now Chen Shiman didn't want to stab the other person's wound, he could only say:
"Thank you, you too."
The male model shook his head, still not saying what was in his heart - what should he say? Did he come here and do all this for his sweetheart? It was too ridiculous.
The male model smiled bitterly. Chen Shiman felt in his pocket and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't have much money on me."
"No, it's rare that you can listen to me. Well, I won't bother you anymore. Think about it yourself. I wish you and your sweetheart all the best."
It’s too difficult to grow old together, so let’s just hope everything goes well.
"Thanks."

"So what on earth did you do?"
After the filming was over, Liu Weiwei came to question him.
When she saw that Gu Zhun didn't come to the company in the morning, she made several phone calls, wondering if he hadn't fully recovered from his susceptible period. She thought about greeting him and then talking about the afternoon work.
But she sent several WeChat messages and no one replied, and she made two phone calls but no one answered, and then she realized something was wrong.
She was afraid that something might happen to Gu Zhun during his susceptible period, so she didn't even have time to change her high heels and ran straight to his house. However, she pressed the doorbell for a long time, but no one came.
At this moment, Gu Zhun suddenly called back and said that he was not in City A and would go back immediately.
Maybe it was her sixth sense, but she had a hunch that it wasn't a good thing.
As expected, Gu Zhun looked listless, as if he had not slept well. His lips seemed to be broken and there was a small scar.
"Why don't you say something? Your fans found out that your schedule for this month doesn't match. Do you know what kind of storm this will cause?" Liu Weiwei said earnestly with a worried look on her face.
Gu Zhun closed his eyes and seemed not to want to talk more.
"Where is Chen Shiman? Why isn't he with you?" Seeing that Gu Zhun was unwilling to talk more, Liu Weiwei changed the subject.
According to Chen Shiman's temper and obvious love of watching the fun, if he knew that Gu Zhun had an announcement, he would want to stay with him 24 hours a day. But today is rare, he is not here!
Hearing Chen Shiman's name, Gu Zhun moved his arms, which was rare. He slowly rolled his eyes a few times and opened them. "Give him a day off."
"Holiday?" Liu Weiwei was stunned. What a joke! This guy would travel across several cities to eat melons on weekends, and now he doesn't even come to this city?
Liu Weiwei looked at Gu Zhun suspiciously, hesitant and a little worried at the fact that his complexion looked a little better after putting on makeup.
"Gu Zhun——"
"Sister Weiwei, I'm going back first. I haven't slept well these past two days."
Gu Zhun stood up and interrupted him, "Just send the itinerary as it is."
Liu Weiwei watched Gu Zhun leave and thought to herself: Post it as it is? I'm too lazy to interfere in your private life, but seeing how you've been these past few days, I'm afraid your illegitimate activities are turning you upside down!
Gu Zhun got on the car and went straight home. He took a nap on the way - at least it was true that he hadn't slept much in the past two days.
Gu Zhun got on the elevator and took out his cell phone. He looked at Chen Shiman’s WeChat and hesitantly clicked on the dialog box.
Most of the conversations between the two of them were conducted by Chen Shiman.
Chen Shiman is a chatterbox. He always talks to Gu Zhun about everything, especially during this period. So Gu Zhun set Chen Shiman's messages to do not disturb, otherwise the ding-dong sound of WeChat notifications would always be annoying.
And now, there has been no new message in the dialog box for several days, and it finally stopped at Gu Zhun's cold "hmm".
He slowly slid open the dialog box with Chen Shiman. Ten days ago, Chen Shiman sent a very long message, mainly asking whether a popular Beta had cheated on his girlfriend. Gu Zhun knew that person, and the news of cheating was actually no secret in the circle. It was just that Gu Zhun was too busy that day and didn't want to reply to Chen Shiman.
He could almost guess that if he replied with an affirmative answer, he would continue endlessly. So on that day, Gu Zhun, who was eager to rest, chose to ignore this message.
Now, since returning from City B this morning, the two hadn't spoken a word. He knew Chen Shiman must be awake, and he also knew that the other party just didn't want to talk to him.
Gu Zhun opened the door, sat on the sofa, looked at the interface, and didn't know how to describe his mood.
He remembered that inexplicable kiss. At that moment, he really wanted to kiss the chattering and even noisy person in front of him.
Gu Zhun sighed lightly. Although he still didn't understand why he couldn't help but kiss Chen Shiman, he knew that he had to give himself this opportunity.
So Gu Zhun tapped the screen:
Are you back?
He clicked send with trembling hands, but found a big exclamation mark appeared on the screen!
What?
He was deleted by Chen Shiman!
