Chapter 71
In the following time, Chen Shiman always spent a lot of time accompanying the skinny puppy. Chen Shiman took the puppy home and received a lot of love from his family. Not long after, the poor skinny puppy became a naughty chubby little boy.
Chen Shiman spent the whole day teaching it simple commands such as shaking hands and sitting down. Occasionally, when Gu Zhun was free, he would come to accompany Zhunzi, and the two would run on the lawn. At this time, Chen Shiman would sit on a chair far away. He always liked to take pictures, but he never showed the pictures he took to Gu Zhun.
The campus drama selected by Gu Zhun is about to start filming, and the location is set at the university, which is local.
"Then do I need to go that day?" Chen Shiman asked while holding the puppy.
Gu Zhun nodded. "Of course. You can bring the puppy with you when the time comes. There are a lot of places to play in college anyway. I remember there is a dog cafe next to the school."
"OK."
Chen Shiman was sucking the dog's milk, and his heart softened.
The day the new drama started filming happened to coincide with the university’s military training.
Chen Shiman followed the crew holding the puppy, looking around curiously.
There was no way around it. Chen Shiman went to the most ordinary university and managed to graduate with great difficulty. He was always inexplicably full of admiration for people who went to such a prestigious institution.
Perhaps it was the high IQ of such people, perhaps it was the scholarly air they exuded, or perhaps it was their talent. In short, Chen Shiman felt that every time he passed by someone, he might be rubbing shoulders with a future expert in a certain field.
"I brought this puppy here." Liu Weiwei looked at the puppy. Its snow-white fur was combed smooth and soft. Lying in Chen Shiman's arms, it really looked like a newborn baby. Liu Weiwei stretched out her hand, "Come, let me hold the puppy."
Chen Shiman handed it over, "Sister Weiwei, please be careful."
"How could I possibly hurt it? I'm telling you, don't bring it next time. It's only because Gu Zhun has a good temper that you bring a pet to work."
Although Liu Weiwei said this, she still couldn't help teasing the puppy. She looked like she was just about to put the puppy in her pocket and take it home.
"I've already talked to Brother Gu. Okay, okay, I won't bring him anymore."
In this way, Liu Weiwei didn't say anything else and continued to hold the puppy in her arms.
Chen Shichang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Liu Weiwei did not ask the puppy's name.
At that time, I was thinking of teasing Gu Zhun on a whim, but now that it was brought out, I feel embarrassed.
Chen Shiman was having a lot of fun playing with the puppy on the lawn, while Gu Zhun was filming in full swing over there.
Gu Zhun stood in a cool place, holding a small fan in his hand. The makeup artist stood beside him to touch up his makeup. Gu Zhun was still concentrating on reading the script. He seemed to be isolated from the outside world and could not hear the noise at all.
"Okay, Teacher Gu." The little assistant looked at Gu Zhun with starry eyes, his heart pounding.
Gu Zhun nodded, still muttering his lines.
By the time Gu Zhun started filming and got into the mood, the entire scene was silent.
This time the crew wanted to save trouble by recording the lines on the spot, so Gu Zhun memorized the lines privately and simulated them several times by himself to ensure that there would be no NGs except for acting problems.
After a scene ended, Gu Zhun was resting on the side. He looked at his phone while drinking water. There was no message from Chen Shiman. In that case, Gu Zhun took the initiative to send him a message, telling him which drink was the best.
This time Chen Shiman replied quickly and sent a photo of the puppy playing with other puppies, and another photo of Chen Shiman and the puppy. Gu Zhun saved all the photos, then put his phone away and continued reading the script.
Gu Zhun's scenes on this day were quite concentrated, as they were reminiscent of his college days, and the crew wanted to film them all in one go, saving him from running back and forth and arguing with school officials. This was precisely why the demands on an actor's state of mind were exceptionally high.
Throughout the day, Gu Zhun only sent a message to Chen Shiman during a break, and spent the rest of the time chatting with the actors and director on the scene. Fortunately, all the actors were in good condition today, and most of the scenes were passed in one go, which saved a lot of time.
The handicraft was done at five in the afternoon. Gu Zhun did not expect it to end so early. He looked at the fans who came to watch and greeted them. After that, the fans who had been following him offline for a day were tired and left. A small number of them followed Gu Zhun, but they kept a good distance so as not to make people feel bored.
"Let's go back now. I'll go get Chen Shiman." Liu Weiwei saw that Gu Zhun looked refreshed, not at all tired from a long day's work. "You're really full of energy. It's so hot, I'm dying just standing there."
"Sister Weiwei, can you have a little self-awareness as an alpha? How can you show your fatigue in front of others?" Gu Zhun said this, straightening his back even more.
"My partner isn't here, why should I pretend? Besides, I'm already very tired, and I don't know why you're pretending."
What are you pretending for?
Gu Zhun just smiled and said nothing.
When we found Chen Shiman, he was sitting on a swing. The puppy was sitting obediently next to Chen Shiman, with his little paws and face dirty from playing.
Liu Weiwei pinched the puppy's cheek and said, "Oh my, you've become a really dirty little dog. Call your dad to come home and wash you."
"Why is the hair tangled?" Gu Zhun only took a glance and noticed the yellow dirt and dried hair on Zhunzi's back.
Chen Shiman sighed, feeling very disappointed. "He was fighting with another puppy for something and ended up spilling the juice on the lawn."
At this point, Chen Shiman seemed to be thinking of the mischievous scene just now. He gritted his teeth, pinched the puppy's neck and hugged it to his legs. He hit the puppy's body very hard and scolded it: "You are so real! You want to grab everything and eat everything! Didn't I give you anything to eat?"
Chen Shiman bought the girl a new drink and apologized several times. Fortunately, the liquid didn't spill on anyone else's clothes.
"Alright, you should tie him up next time. I think you're a naughty little dog. Don't bring him to the set next time. You'll be unable to do your job if you do."
"Sister Weiwei, this is the reason." Chen Shiman pouted and looked at Gu Zhun pitifully.
Liu Weiwei blocked Gu Zhun and said, "Don't look at him. I have the final say on this matter."
Gu Zhun, who was hiding behind Liu Weiwei, shrugged and said that he had no other choice.
Although this result was indeed in line with Gu Zhun's wishes, after all, Chen Shiman had been around the puppy all day and did not come to see him.
"Okay, let's go back."
Chen Shiman said, "I'll go back by myself in a while, you guys go now."
Liu Weiwei glanced at the puppy and did not try to keep him. Just as she was about to pull Gu Zhun away, he received a phone call and went somewhere else.
When Gu Zhun came back, he was in a hurry and only said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave later. Sister Weiwei, you go ahead. When I'm done, Chen Shiman can take you off."
Then, without waiting for anyone to speak, Gu Zhun ran away. He looked really urgent, a state that Chen Shiman had never seen before.
"He--" Chen Shiman hesitated to speak.
Liu Weiwei reacted immediately, "Then Manman, please contact Gu Zhun yourself when the time comes. If he hasn't left yet, ask him to send you off. I'll be leaving first. If you have anything, just call me. My phone is always on."
After Liu Weiwei left, Chen Shiman stroked the puppy thoughtfully.

Gu Zhun just went to find his mother.
My mother called me just now and said that since I'm at school, I should meet him and not say that she, as a mother, doesn't care about anything.
Gu Zhun tidied up his appearance in the bathroom before knocking on the door of his mother's office.
"Come in." It was a very flat and trembling voice.
When Gu Zhun entered, his mother was wearing glasses and looking at the computer, completely unfocused.
"Mom." Gu Zhun shouted.
Chen Shujin said "hmm" but didn't say anything, still concentrating on looking at the computer.
Gu Zhun just sat there. Perhaps it was because of the enclosed space that he felt a little cramped. He felt a little difficulty breathing.
After waiting for a long time, Chen Shujin finally turned his gaze to Gu Zhun.
Gu Zhun's gaze remained on the other person, and almost in an instant, he could sense the change in his mother's expression.
Chen Shujin was a very outstanding woman, and Gu Zhun never doubted this.
After Gu Zhun was born and began to understand things, he often heard his sister talk about how great his mother was. When Gu Zhun was ten years old, he remembered that his mother started to teach graduate students. Every day she would spend some time communicating with her students and answering their questions. Her students also told Gu Zhun that being her mother's student was a very happy thing, at least there was no need to worry about graduation.
These subtle influences made Gu Zhun know from a young age that his mother was a capable person, but was trapped in this deformed family because of her emotions and children.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming? As your mother, I could treat you to a meal." Chen Shujin's tone of voice was much gentler than when she was at home, and she was less prickly, as if she had really become a gentle and virtuous mother.
Gu Zhun picked at his nails and said, "I was too busy at work, so I didn't bother Mom."
Chen Shujin lowered his eyelids and said, "I haven't had anything to do recently. Since you're here, let's have a meal together later."
Today, Chen Shujin was teaching a class of sophomores and noticed that the class was much smaller. After asking around, she learned that a celebrity was filming there. She didn't know why, but she subconsciously asked about it, and someone mentioned Gu Zhun.
So after class, Chen Shujin thought about it, looked at the busy crew in the distance from the high-rise building, and finally called Gu Zhun after they finished work.
Fortunately it’s not too late.
Gu Zhun was stunned. "A moment?"
Chen Shujin took off his glasses and turned off the computer. "Okay. And your friend, call him along too."
Chen Shujin rarely speaks at home, but when he does say something, it's bound to be shocking.
The same is true this time.
Gu Zhun suddenly felt his mother's sharp gaze.
I can't tell whether I'm happy or scared. I'm happy that my mother cares about me secretly, but I'm scared whether she knows how much I and Chen Shiman care about her.
Gu Zhun didn't know how to tell his mother the deeper issues at hand, but his mother didn't seem to care and just picked up the expensive bag.
When Chen Shujin left the house, he saw Gu Zhun still sitting on the sofa. He asked with a playful look in his eyes, "What's wrong? Don't keep me waiting."
At this time, Gu Zhun finally realized what was happening and followed his mother with weak legs.
