Chapter 47
Chen Shiman felt no different staying at Wang Yanyue's place than at his own home, so he got up in a daze the next day and skillfully looked for a new toothbrush and towel in the cabinet. When he came out after washing, he saw Mike coming out of the bedroom impatiently with a messy hair, and he didn't even glance at him.
Chen Shiman was too lazy to talk to this guy, so he chose to sit on the sofa and play with his phone, waiting for Wang Yanyue to order takeout.
As a result, before Wang Yanyue came out, he saw Mike walk to the balcony, put on a short-sleeved shirt, and then rushed into the bedroom. Then, there was a quarrel that resounded through the sky.
"Why are you always like this? I told you not to look at my phone all the time, didn't you promise?" Mike's Chinese was not standard and he spoke with a heavy accent, which sounded very funny in such an occasion.
"You didn't turn off your phone, and you're blaming me for accidentally seeing it? Mike, didn't I tell you at the beginning not to quarrel with us over these unreasonable little things?" Wang Yanyue seemed very impatient, and his speech speed became much faster, and his mouth even fired bullets like a machine gun.
"What do you mean? Are you blaming me? I haven't even mentioned your friend yet, but he acts like a big shot the moment he shows up—"
"Why are you talking about others? You are in the wrong but you want to blame others, right? You said he is my friend, he can do whatever he wants. It's your family, and you are not giving orders here. I tell you, don't use your disgusting thoughts to speculate about the people around me. Next time you say something bad, check if there is anyone watching you! And Mike, you are always so unreasonable! If you continue like this, get out of my house!" Wang Yanyue became more and more excited as he spoke, and smashed a glass. The glass fell to the ground with a bang and broke into pieces.
Chen Shiman had been sitting leisurely in the living room, playing with his phone. Just as he was watching a video, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the bedroom. He pricked up his ears, keenly catching some information related to him. This made him feel a little guilty, so he stopped playing with his phone and sat up straight.
Chen Shiman wondered if he should not have come last night. He just acted on a whim and really didn't think too much about it, which was a bit out of line.
But then again, aren't friends meant to cause trouble?
Forget it, forget it!
So Chen Shiman thought that he would talk to Wang Yanyue when he came out and leave the battlefield as soon as possible - even if he didn't like Mike, but now Wang Yanyue was a new person and the two of them were very affectionate, it would be better not to cause any disputes between them.
After all, good friends definitely hope that the two of them have a good sex life.
But soon, the quarrel in the house disappeared and gradually calmed down.
Chen Shiman waited and waited, but there was no sign of the two people coming out.
Finally, after Chen Shiman had been waiting for ten minutes, Wang Yan jumped out and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." He looked normal, as if what happened just now had no longer happened.
"Did I come at the wrong time?" Chen Shiman said guiltily, sweating profusely.
Wang Yanyue said: "No, we are just like this. We will quarrel for no reason, whether you come or not. It has nothing to do with you. Look, we have made up now and we are used to it." As he said that, Mike came out wearing a long-sleeved shirt, with a sad face, and walked to the kitchen without saying a word to get busy.
"But I heard him say--" Chen Shiman shut up instantly when he saw Mike.
Wang Yanyue didn't seem to notice the other person and continued, "Mike is like this, nagging and always bringing up old things when we have an argument. This time you just happened to be here, so he wanted to use you as a fuss. Okay, don't take it too seriously."
Chen Shiman swallowed the words in his mouth, and Wang Yanyue continued, "Okay, stay for dinner. Mike is cooking, you can try his cooking skills."
Since Wang Yanyue had spoken, Chen Shiman had nothing to say. He just sat obediently at the dining table and stared at Wang Yanyue.
At this time, Chen Shiman had to admit that Wang Yanyue's way of controlling her husband was indeed very effective.
After the meal, Chen Shiman immediately left Wang Yanyue's house.
Wang Yanyue tried to persuade him to stay, but Chen Shiman saw that Mike's face was not very good, and he looked at Wang Yanyue's back with resentment, so Chen Shiman left quickly.
After Chen Shiman left, Gu Zhun sent a message, saying that he didn't need to go to the company today and gave him a day off. Chen Shiman smiled happily, but before he could reply, Gu Zhun immediately sent another message, asking him to take Xu Wei out to play, either for a picnic or at an amusement park.
Chen Shiman sneered. It would be better for him to go to work. Taking care of children is very hard.
But since Chen Shiman didn't want to see Gu Zhun, he decided to take Xu Wei with him.
"You really treat me as a nanny. As a young master, my hands are full of ambitions. Damn it, if it weren't for this or that, how could I listen to you so much!" Chen Shiman muttered as he looked at his hands, with a lot to say.
In the end, Chen Shiman and Xu Wei went camping. They brought a lot of things to a camping base, including a lot of snacks and fried chicken.
Chen Shiman sent it to Gu Zhun, who told them to eat less junk food.
But in fact, Xu Wei didn't seem to be that interested in camping, otherwise he wouldn't have sat in the tent all the time and not gone out to play with the people around him.
When Chen Shiman asked her, Xu Wei said, "No, my grandparents told me not to run around. My big brother and I will just bask in the sun."
"Okay, then I'll join you." Chen Shiman couldn't agree with the old man's way of teaching, nor could he directly preach to Xu Wei. In this case, he decided to stay with Xu Wei and bask in the sun with him.
The two of them lay on the lawn. The sunlight was too glaring, so both of them closed their eyes.
"Big brother, don't you like my uncle?" Xu Wei was a smart little boy. He spoke out of the blue. He was obviously a child, but he acted like an adult.
Chen Shiman had expected that Xu Wei was more mature than other children and was always particularly concerned about his uncle's affairs.
"Why do you say that?" Chen Shiman asked. He didn't think he was showing any dislike for Gu Zhun; he was clearly just flustered and bewildered—of course, a child wouldn't be able to read these hidden expressions.
"Big brother, what do you think of my uncle?" Instead of answering Chen Shiman's question, Xu Wei asked a new question.
"Okay, who would say he's not good?" He's a popular idol with good looks and talent, no one would say he's not good.
"Big brother, uncle is not good at all." Xu Wei shook his head, sat up and hugged his knees.
Chen Shiman was puzzled and asked the reason.
"Mom passed away early, but she left me many letters, one every year on my birthday. Dad once told me that my grandparents didn't like my uncle, and I knew that."
Chen Shiman was stunned, and suddenly understood what the child was talking about.
He actually didn't want to know about Gu Zhun's family affairs, but when Xu Wei brought it up, he couldn't help but be curious, so he didn't say anything to stop her and waited for the little girl to continue talking about the Gu family.
"Big brother, if you want to know, you can go ask uncle, he will tell you." Xu Wei kept it a secret.
Chen Shiman didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Did your uncle ask you to say that?"
"No, but I hope my uncle is happy. My uncle will be very happy when you are around, big brother."
Xu Wei spoke so seriously that Chen Shiman felt that he was really falling for his words.
"Okay, let's continue basking in the sun." Chen Shiman lay down again, put out his hand to cover Xu Wei's face, and no longer looked at the pair of eyes that looked like Gu Zhun.
The camping trip ended with a sudden downpour. Chen Shiman and Xu Wei were both drenched. However, Xu Wei was better off as he was held in Chen Shiman's arms and was not exposed to too much rain.
But Chen Shiman was soaked all over, and returned to Gu Zhun's home with Xu Wei in a mess.
Gu Zhun finished work early that day and had been planning to play outside with the two of them for a while after work, but it started to rain, so he hurried home and made ginger soup for them.
When Gu Zhun's ginger soup was ready, the two of them just arrived home.
Chen Shiman put Xu Wei down and just met Gu Zhun's worried eyes.
Chen Shiman was wearing Wang Yanyue's clothes today, a white T-shirt and black pants. It rained and the shirt was soaked and visible.
Gu Zhun could see the two bright red spots on Chen Shiman's body and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"I, I'm going to take a shower." Chen Shiman was embarrassed. He was about to squeeze out a three-bedroom apartment.
"Okay, I'll get you some clean clothes." Gu Zhun looked away, "Xu Wei, go take a shower too, and come out and drink some ginger soup."
Then Gu Zhun sat on the sofa and daydreamed.
That day, while working, Gu Zhun was thinking that he really liked Chen Shiman.
I like the things in him that I don't have, the passion and enthusiasm, the vitality in him, the way Chen Shiman looks at me...
He decided to make the transition very early on.
Chen Shiman always says that if they are together, what will the fans do, but when he transforms into an actor and makes a living by his ability, can he talk about love?
He didn't want to wait that long, so he mentioned it to Liu Weiwei today and said that he hoped to start getting involved in acting.
Liu Weiwei did not stop her and said that there had indeed been a low-budget web drama that had extended an olive branch to her recently, but the cast was not very good. Liu Weiwei was afraid of being criticized after filming it, so she refused.
So Gu Zhun told Liu Weiwei that she could pay more attention to it, even to the romance variety show.
As soon as these words came out, the whole world seemed to freeze.
Liu Weiwei clutched the phone until her fingers turned white.
After a long while, Liu Weiwei asked, "Are you kidding? What are you doing?"
"I just said it. It's all work. There's nothing else to do." Gu Zhun explained. He knew that it was simply a fantasy to expect Liu Weiwei to accept it in a short time.
As expected, Liu Weiwei immediately put her phone on the table, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "You better be joking. I know you want to change, but you're an idol yourself. Aren't you afraid of being drowned in spit if you take on a dating variety show? Gu Zhun, tell me honestly, do you have someone you like?"
Gu Zhun was silent.
"You..." Liu Weiwei seemed to realize something, but her mind was confused for a moment.
"I'll be more careful." Gu Zhun said.
Liu Weiwei sneered, "You're not a kid anymore, but I'm telling you, while you're still an idol, don't expose yourself, understand? I'll show you some scripts soon and give you some opportunities for transformation—but you also know that you're an idol after all, and no one would be willing to give an idol this kind of opportunity, so you have to be prepared to play supporting roles."
Liu Weiwei simply didn't want to say anything more and walked out angrily.
Gu Zhun stayed in the lounge, looking at the half-written dance score on the piano, his eyes empty.
At this moment, Gu Zhun listened to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom of his master bedroom. This was the first time that Gu Zhun felt that his house, which was so big, had a little more vitality. It was not that Xu Wei had never brought vitality to his house before, but Xu Wei's existence replaced his sister's position. Now the frequency of Gu Zhun's heartbeat truly belonged to Chen Shiman.
Gu Zhun noticed that the noise in the bathroom had become a little quieter, so he went to the kitchen to get some ginger soup and put it on the table. When Chen Shiman came out, he saw Gu Zhun sitting on the gaming chair, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Gu Zhun."
Chen Shiman spoke. He was wearing Gu Zhun's clothes. The height difference between the two was not too big, so Gu Zhun's clothes did not look unusually exaggerated on him.
"Come and have a drink."
"Gu Zhun, I want to talk to you." Chen Shiman grabbed the wall, his voice hoarse.
"Okay." Gu Zhun changed his chair and sat face to face with Chen Shiman.
