Chapter 60
When Miss Bai came to pick up Bai Yue in the evening, she looked pale and tired. Chen Shiman had no memory of Miss Bai, but the other party had a deep impression of him. She said that she had always wanted to meet Chen Shiman, but there were too many things to do, so she had been delayed until now.
Chen Shiman nodded implicitly, looking at his future sister-in-law with curiosity and novelty.
Standing next to Miss Bai, Chen Mocheng seemed much more reserved and gentle.
Before leaving, Bai Yue waved her cell phone at Chen Shiman, then put her index finger on her lips and made a zipper gesture.
Chen Shiman understood and watched the other party leave.
Two hours before Miss Bai arrived, Chen Shiman finally came out of the room and said carefully and confidently that he had just gone to replenish Gu Zhun's materials and found that he was a really nice person.
Bai Yue was an honest child with no ulterior motives. When he heard his master being praised, he was so happy that his tail was lifted up to the sky. He hurriedly took out the amazing pictures of Gu Zhun that he had collected in his mobile phone and handed them to Chen Shiman. He was very enthusiastic to explain everything about Gu Zhun over the years.
By the end of the story, Bai Yue couldn't control her voice anymore. She almost turned the whole room upside down and clapped her hands together.
She described it so vividly, as if she were there in person.
Chen Shiman was also a very supportive person and did not let Bai Yue's words fall on the ground. This evolved into a situation where in the end, Bai Yue felt that he had met Chen Shiman too late and wished he could stay here all day and talk to Chen Shiman about Gu Zhun.
After Bai Yue left, Chen Shiman chatted with Gu Zhun for a long time. Chen Shiman did not talk about Bai Yue as enthusiastically and fondly as he did with Gu Zhun. He only mentioned that he promised Bai Yue to give her a personal autograph. After that, Chen Shiman quickly put down his phone and sat on the sofa, thinking about nothing.
Chen Shiman held his phone, looking at the messages from Gu Zhun that kept popping up on the screen. He still couldn't really let go of everything about Gu Zhun.
We haven't been together for very long, but why do I feel like I've witnessed so much of him? I just can't bear to see all his efforts go to waste.
Chen Shiman often feels conflicted.
He longed for Gu Zhun's love ardently, hoping to receive all the blessings from him, but he was also aware that such a situation would never happen to the two of them. So he struggled painfully, sank into despair soberly, and finally cried out in despair.
Chen Shiman sighed heavily and fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Zhun's low-budget web drama was completed this Saturday at 10 a.m.
As usual, Chen Shiman followed Liu Weiwei's instructions and ordered some cakes to share with the teachers of the theater to thank them for their care for Gu Zhun. At the moment of wrapping up, Chen Shiman heard the staff around him whispering that Gu Zhun was gone, but they didn't know when they would see the handsome guy again.
"Alright, everyone, come take a photo with Teacher Gu. Our Teacher Gu has officially finished filming!"
The director sat in front of the camera, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand. His eyes were black and narrowed, revealing unspeakable fatigue.
The photo ends with Gu Zhun at the center, with assistants such as Chen Shiman and Liu Weiwei standing at the outside of the crowd. Gu Zhun is holding flowers in his hands, smiling at the corners of his eyes, and looking firmly at the camera, while Chen Shiman sticks his head out, not knowing what he is looking at, but it is definitely not the camera.
"Okay, we can rest for a week." Chen Shiman sighed, holding Gu Zhun's coat in his hand.
Liu Weiwei: "Not yet. Gu Zhun has to attend a party this weekend. After that, I can only say that I'm not that busy, but I'm not completely free."
"Okay, then at least it's okay today." Chen Shiman blinked, thinking that he would also attend a business meeting with his brother at the weekend.
"Okay, let's get in the car and take Gu Zhun back to the company first so he can practice dancing." Liu Weiwei was afraid that Gu Zhun would slack off and wished he would practice 24 hours a day.
Gu Zhun didn't say anything. He had been on the set recently and hadn't practiced in the dance studio for a long time.
Chen Shiman did not go with them. He wanted to go back to Jinshui Bay to catch up on his sleep. During this period, whenever Gu Zhun was filming, he, Liu Weiwei and Xiao Jiang had to stay on the set to take care of him, and they had not slept for long. Now that he finally had some free time, he naturally wanted to have a good sleep.
When Gu Zhun returned to the company, he saw Zhong Tianpei in the reception room. This man seemed to have not appeared for a long time but was always lingering around him.
Zhong Tianpei was sitting with his legs crossed, wearing sunglasses and dyed pink hair. He was leaning lazily on the chair, playing with a golden pen on his fingertips.
Gu Zhun was originally going to leave after just a quick glance, after all, he and Zhong Tianpei didn't have a particularly good relationship. But when he saw the pen, Gu Zhun stopped, his pupils shrank, leaving a whole area of white.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Zhun walked quickly into the reception room. He locked Liu Weiwei outside the door and looked at Zhong Tianpei with rage, his voice trembling: "How dare you take out this pen!"
When Gu Zhun saw the pen, he knew that it was a deliberate provocation.
Zhong Tianpei chewed gum and shrugged. "Isn't the purpose of buying a pen to be used? Do you know what I'm going to use it for? Huh?"
Zhong Tianpei stood up. He was about the same height as Gu Zhun. He was smiling playfully, but he didn't look happy at all. Instead, he looked eerie and cold, as if to freeze all the blood in a person's body.
Gu Zhun didn't say anything and waited quietly for the other party to continue.
"In ten minutes, I will sign the contract here and become an artist under your company. Gu Zhun, don't you think we are really destined to be together? After all these years, we are still working in the same company. Gu Zhun, I am really happy to become colleagues, senior?"
Zhong Tianpei smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, but his other hand was nimbly turning the heavy pen.
Gu Zhun looked at the increasingly dazzling gold and even had the urge to rush up and break the pen.
That pen shouldn't have existed. It was clearly full of beautiful expectations and love, but at this moment it was a huge and blatant irony, endlessly hitting Gu Zhun's sore spot.
"You are worthy?" Gu Zhun sneered.
"Hasn't anyone told you to avoid saying things that could lead to misunderstandings? Believe it or not, if I release this recording, you'll be cursed by everyone online. But I'm a person who cherishes old times, so of course I'll cover it up for you, just like—" Zhong Tianpei suddenly lowered his voice, "just like you covered it up for me back then."
"Hahahaha!" Zhong Tianpei held his forehead and laughed. He laughed so recklessly and happily. Only Gu Zhun stood there alone. His expression could not be seen, only the deep sorrow emanating from head to toe.
"What's wrong? Does it remind you of your sad past? But back then, I was very happy, at least - happy." Zhong Tianpei was stubborn and kept jumping on Gu Zhun's sore spot, and even tapped the table with his pen in a cocky manner.
Gu Zhun's fists were clenched tightly and hung beside his legs. He looked at the person in front of him. Such an ugly expression had appeared on his face many years ago. Even at that time, because of his youthful arrogance, it was more ostentatious and profound.
Zhong Tianpei at that time was much more unrestrained than he is now, but his fans said that was his true nature that no one else had.
Gu Zhun sneered, is this his true nature?
This true nature is built on the lives of others!
"Zhong Tianpei, take care of yourself."
This was Gu Zhun’s final advice.
"And this pen, Zhong Tianpei, no one understands the bloodshed behind it better than you do. Next time you take it out and wave it in front of me, don't blame me for not keeping my promise."
Gu Zhun left the reception room with a gloomy face after saying these words.
"Why is Zhong Tianpei here? Has his contract with the previous company expired?" As soon as he went out, Gu Zhun immediately asked Liu Weiwei about this matter.
Liu Weiwei was also puzzled. "No, I think there's still two or three years left. I'll ask him later. Don't let him affect your mood. Go practice and leave the rest to me. Don't be impulsive."
Liu Weiwei didn't know much about the relationship between Zhong Tianpei and Gu Zhun. She had noticed something strange when she first took over Gu Zhun.
Even if there were conflicts in the group's ideas and behaviors, there wouldn't be such resentment - as if there was some deep blood feud.
Since Gu Zhun was unwilling to talk, she didn't bother to ask. Until now, Liu Weiwei no longer had much interest in those old things.
Gu Zhun returned to the practice room, changed into loose clothes, and stood in the huge dance studio. However, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable all over his body, as if he was covered with fleas and was extremely itchy.
Zhong Tianpei...
How dare he come so bluntly in front of me? Did he really think that after all these years, those things would not be brought up again?
Gu Zhun turned his resentment into motivation and sweated in the training room. Every movement he made was full of power, as if countless Zhong Tianpeis were floating in the air, and every attack could beat the opponent to a pulp.
The loose clothes flew up and down with Gu Zhun's movements, and the clothes soaked with sweat stuck to his body. One could vaguely see his wheat-colored abdominal muscles and every blue vein on his body. Gu Zhun let the sweat wet his entire hair and back. He didn't care how uncomfortable his body was. But when he landed and stood firmly on the ground in the last movement, he suddenly thought of spinning in the air. Obviously, the youngest child was the best at it.
"You're still as good as ever."
The sound of crows came from behind.
"But I think you're still a little short of that, you know—" Zhong Tianpei was about to continue when he was punched away by Gu Zhun who quickly jumped over. He groaned with effort, his face tilted to one side, revealing his jaw, which was covered with a strange red color.
"Zhong Tianpei, I always think people shouldn't go too far. You've been provoking me time and time again. Haven't you ever thought about this day? Aren't you really afraid in your dreams all these years?"
When Gu Zhun said this, his whole body was shaking, and the tail end of his voice was even about to disappear.
Compared to Zhong Tianpei, he is the one who is most afraid.
Why can people who have done something wrong be so nonchalant and live a normal life, while making the victim's relatives and friends nervous and treading on thin ice?
Until now, Gu Zhun has not figured this matter out.
