Chapter 38
"Master, the young master is back."
Seeing that Chen Mocheng didn't move, the housekeeper kindly reminded him.
Someone had already reported it, but he didn't hear anything at the door and thought the young master didn't hear it.
But even now, Chen Mocheng just nodded and continued reading.
After just a brief glance, he put the book down and said to the housekeeper, "Let Chen Shiman stand at the door first."
After saying that, Chen Mocheng turned around and continued to read attentively.
When the butler heard this, he felt a sweat dripping down his back even in the air-conditioned room at 23 degrees. He now understood that the young master was timing things.
In such hot weather, standing outside for even a minute would make you sweat profusely, not to mention that the young master has a physique that sweats easily, so this might even cost him his life.
So the housekeeper kindly asked how long he would have to stand there. Chen Mocheng didn't hesitate: "Wait until I finish my reading assignment for today, then let him in. He should sweat a little, so he doesn't have to stay in this air-conditioned room. I don't know how hot it is outside."
Only after the housekeeper left did Chen Mocheng put down the book and stared at the sun outside the window in a daze.
Manman hates such a strong sun the most.
Well, it's time for him to suffer a little - since he made that choice.
Chen Mocheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The housekeeper went to the kitchen to get a bottle of ice water, grabbed a parasol and went out, saying to Chen Shiman who was about to come in, "Young Master, the eldest master said that you should wait outside first."
Chen Shiman was stunned for a moment, somewhat incredulous, "Outside? Now?"
It's almost ten o'clock now. The sun is not as scorching as in the afternoon, but it is still unbearable. In such weather, if he stands outside, he will probably get heatstroke.
Seeing Chen Shiman's face turn pale, the butler sighed as well, handed the water out, and sighed, "The young master said that he'll let you in after he finishes reading. You wait outside first. I brought this water from the kitchen. The eldest young master doesn't know. Drink it when you're thirsty. And that place," the butler stretched out his finger and pointed to the right front corner of the eaves, "there, you see where the car is parked. It won't be exposed to the sun for a while. You stand there and I'll let you in when the eldest young master says so."
Chen Shiman turned his head and took a look, which was exactly the place where he had just gotten off the bus.
Chen Shiman knew that nothing good would happen to him after he came back, so he let his brother beat or scold him. However, he didn't expect that he would actually leave him exposed to the sun.
Forget it, since he chose to come back, he is ready to be punished.
Chen Shiman nodded and returned the water to the housekeeper. "You don't need the water. What if my brother finds out and gets involved with you? And you can take this umbrella back too. I really need to sterilize it."
After saying this, Chen Shiman turned around and left.
The butler looked at the bottle in his hand, which was already beginning to melt with dew, and shook his head helplessly.
Then, he saw the young master, who was always afraid of heat, standing in the sun with his head facing the scorching sun above.
So he went back and told Chen Mocheng about this matter. The young master just said "hmm" casually, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
As for Chen Shiman, he was wearing the same light sportswear from last night, long pants and short sleeves, with his back straight, standing under the scorching sun.
Chen Shiman cannot tolerate heat, which is a well-known fact in the entire Chen family. Now, Chen Shiman is being punished in this way, which is a more severe measure than solitary confinement.
But as Chen Shiman himself said, he really needs to kill the bacteria in his brain and think carefully about the extraordinary things he has done in the past two days.
Chen Shiman looked ahead, but his mind was lingering with the past events between him and Gu Zhun last night.
I tossed and turned last night but couldn't figure it out. It seems that in this environment, it will be easier to figure it out.
For example, when facing Gu Zhun's questioning last night, saying that he was so impatient, I just felt angry at the time, but now, I suddenly felt wronged.
After knowing each other for such a while, he didn't think he had done anything out of the ordinary. Why did Gu Zhun start to make such assumptions when he saw him with an omega? Was he just that image in Gu Zhun's mind, or was he just showing such desire?
Chen Shiman didn't understand.
But in fact, at that moment when Chen Shiman was standing under the sun, he suddenly thought that he had never cared about other people's opinions, so why did he care so much about Gu Zhun?
He has been a thorn in the eyes of his teachers since he was a child. He has his own strange ideas. Even if no one understands him, he will still stick to his way and never think about changing. He just acts according to his heart and lets people around him say whatever they want.
But why did he feel wronged this time just because he was misunderstood by Gu Zhun?
Is this what it means to care and be nervous?
Chen Shiman muttered to himself. The sudden thought made him tremble all over. Even in such a furnace on earth, he felt the coldness of ice and snow.
Chen Shiman clenched his palms, his eyes still as firm.
But I don’t care about Gu Zhun as much as that cowherd said.
Chen Shiman once again doubted himself.
It can't be that I don't like people.
The thought flashed through his mind, but Chen Shiman quickly shook his head.
What a joke! Everyone in his family said he was born with the ability to love.
Chen Shiman licked his lips. In such hot weather, he could almost hear the sound of sweat beads sizzling from his scalp, like oil coming out of barbecue, flowing down his forehead and temples, then gently flowing to the corners of his mouth and wetting his shirt.
Now, Chen Shiman could feel that his entire back was covered in sweat, and the soft cotton T-shirt was tightly stuck to his body. A small gust of hot wind blew past, even bringing a slight chill.
Chen Shiman saw the housekeeper standing at the door, looking anxious. He thought his brother must be standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the lush green grass in the yard, with his brows furrowed, his hands in his pockets, and a worried look on his face.
He must have been wondering if he had punished his brother too harshly, feeling tormented and angry at the same time.
Chen Shiman felt that his eyes were a little tired, and there were even some tiny spots of light flickering in front of his eyes.
No, I haven’t thought things through yet!
Chen Shiman pinched his palms fiercely, which was rare for him. He had to think these things through before he passed out.
He did not regret escaping from home last night, although the process was a little difficult, but he met Gu Zhun and received the bouquet of flowers.
Even now, Chen Shiman still feels both amused and confused when he thinks of that bouquet of flowers.
He must have been happy when he received the bouquet of flowers. After all, this was the first person other than his family who gave him flowers. Although the bouquet was a little withered, Chen Shiman still saw the nervousness and caution in Gu Zhun's eyes when he took it.
Gu Zhun was not an actor, and Chen Shiman felt that his acting skills had not reached that pinnacle level, so the tension and anticipation at that moment must have come from his heart.
Chen Shiman could see that Gu Zhun cared about him a little, otherwise, if an idol went to a flower shop and bought a bouquet of flowers, who knows how it would be reported the next day.
That’s right—
Report!
Chen Shiman shook his head. What if he was photographed? Wouldn't that give those haters another chance to spread rumors?
At this moment, Chen Shiman found that he could not think of anything else. He only cared about whether he would be attacked again if he was photographed.
Chen Shiman took a deep breath. His legs had lost all feeling and he could only rely on instinct to lift his legs and move forward stiffly, like a robot. He guessed it must be ridiculous.
The housekeeper, standing far away, was trembling with anxiety. He knew the eldest young master's character and loved the youngest the most. Now, he was talking about punishment, but he was also worried at home.
Those working there didn't know what was happening at home, but he had worked in the Chen family for many years. Now they just needed a step so that people on both sides could step down.
So when the housekeeper saw the young master taking a difficult step forward, he immediately opened the door and shouted inside: "Master, the young master has fainted!"
It doesn't matter whether he is dizzy or not. The young master will give this step sooner or later. It is just a matter of time. I will go with the flow and make both brothers look better.
The butler was just making it up, but he didn't expect that when he said this, he turned his head and saw that Chen Shiman's whole body began to shake uncontrollably, as if he couldn't stand steadily. Then, the moment the butler took a step, Chen Shiman fainted.
"Young Master!"
The butler was an old man, and he ran towards Chen Shiman with a hoarse voice and slow steps. While running, he felt a cool breeze beside him, which made him feel a little cold. Then, he saw Chen Mocheng in home clothes, running over with an anxious look on his face, hugging Chen Shiman and calling his name.
housekeeper:"……"
If I had known this earlier, I would have stopped.
But his worker still didn't say it out loud. He just added fuel to the fire and said when Chen Mocheng passed by: "The young master almost cried just now. I guess he really knows he is wrong."
Chen Mocheng was skeptical, "Really?"
Butler: "Really."
No matter whether it is true or not, he just wants to say it. It is for the good of both of them anyway.
Chen Mocheng looked at the butler and said nothing more.
He knows his brother better than anyone else. He is a strong man, so how could he cry?
never mind……
As he walked into the house, Chen Mocheng casually said, "I'll double your bonus this month."
Guan Jiale couldn't close his mouth. Who can resist money?
So Chen Mocheng carried his brother to his room and called a doctor.
During this short moment, he was thinking that his younger brother was obviously a person who could not endure hardship. He had been standing outside for less than twenty minutes. As long as he begged for mercy during this period, he would definitely welcome him back in person.
But Chen Shiman didn't. Instead, he stood there, enduring the scorching sun, like a stone tablet with broad shoulders.
Chen Mocheng thought that his younger brother finally had his own ideas.
"Brother, I want to tell you something."
Chen Mocheng turned around and saw Chen Shiman with a pale mouth. The other party spoke impatiently without even opening his eyes.
