Chapter 39
Chen Mocheng walked over and sat beside the bed. He looked at his most beloved brother, who was actually looking at him with a pleading look, his eyes rippling, his black pupils deep and unfathomable, and even the most beautiful little red mole between his eyebrows was eclipsed.
But none of this was what Chen Mocheng wanted.
Chen Shiman looked at his brother and opened his mouth slightly, "Brother, I——"
"It's up to you." Chen Mocheng interrupted Chen Shiman. The moment Chen Shiman fainted under the scorching sun, he decided to let him go completely - no, perhaps it was the moment he returned home last night and found Chen Shiman escaping over the wall that he knew some things were no longer under his control.
And my younger brother has already made his own choice.
Chen Mocheng suddenly thought of what his father had said to him privately two days ago. It was late one night, Chen Mocheng was drinking in the kitchen and was seen by his father who got up to go to the bathroom.
My sleepy father sat on a high stool. Regardless of his age or the lateness of the night, he actually added a lot of ice to the wine and then clinked glasses with me lightly.
Chen Mocheng immediately stopped his father from drinking the next cup. As the pillar of the Chen family, he has the obligation to take care of everyone's health.
But his father just waved his hand and smiled indifferently, "It's okay to drink less, huh? You, you're just too tense. Have you been unable to sleep all night these past two days because of Shiman's matter? I know all about it, but Mo Cheng, you have to know that everyone has their own things and choices. Manman usually seems to be extravagant and unruly, but he knows the proper etiquette, integrity, and right and wrong. You can't use your own way of dealing with people and your own thoughts to speculate on his thoughts. You are not him. Do you understand? I haven't asked about what happened between you and Shiman these past two days. After all, you are the head of the family now. But now, let's just talk privately. I don't know what Manman did to make you so angry - but it shouldn't be something like murder or arson, otherwise you would definitely tell me, and it wouldn't be a simple punishment like confinement. So, since there is no principled matter, just let him do it. He has the ability to judge right from wrong, and you should trust him."
Chen Mocheng and his father drank for a long time that day, during which they only talked about this short matter of Chen Shiman. Afterwards, Chen's father talked about some things about Chen Mocheng's childhood. It was also during this conversation that Chen Mocheng truly realized that it was indeed true that during his growth process, his parents had never forced him to do anything or make any choices. Even the change of his name that time was his own choice.
"So, let him do what he wants. At worst, I'll still be there for you. Of course, the children of our Chen family can do whatever they want. Otherwise, why would I make so much money?"
After saying this, Mr. Chen went upstairs with a smile on his face and a smell of alcohol.
Chen Mocheng looked at the last sip of wine in the glass, and his father's words before going upstairs kept lingering in his ears.
Indeed, he had once sworn that as long as he, Chen Mocheng, was there, Chen Shiman could always be a child and do whatever he wanted. Even if the sky fell, he, as his brother, would be there to support him.
So, now Chen Mocheng looked at Chen Shiman. This was the first time that his younger brother was so stubborn and opposed him. Chen Mocheng thought that he should be happy, at least his younger brother knew what he wanted.
Chen Mocheng exhaled deeply, and covered Chen Shiman's hand with his cold hand, comforting him: "You should rest first, I will take care of it."
After saying that, Chen Mocheng prepared to leave. He felt that he needed a little time to digest his feelings. After all, it really took a lot of courage to let go of his brother's hand.
But as he was leaving, Chen Shiman suddenly grabbed his wrist and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, I've really liked a star recently."
Chen Mocheng's heart sank, and he asked dully, "Who is it?"
"Gu Zhun." Chen Shiman didn't say anything more. He knew that with his brother's temper, he would do the next thing himself.
As expected, Chen Mocheng squeezed out a very intriguing smile. He squatted down again and touched Chen Shiman's head. "Okay, brother got it, ok? You stay here obediently. And before, it was because brother was too anxious. You know, brother just cares about you too much."
Chen Shiman tilted his face and placed the right half of his face in Chen Mocheng's large, dry palm. "I know, brother. I know you are doing this for my own good. Okay, brother, go and take care of other things."
No one knows better than Chen Shiman how much his brother cares about him, and nothing can change Chen Shiman's trust in his brother.
They may argue and fight, but they will never abandon each other.
This is the belief that Chen Shiman has engraved in his heart.
Chen Mocheng walked out of the room, stood at the stairs, looked out the window at the bright sunshine and the singing birds and fragrant flowers, and finally took out his mobile phone and made a call.

Meanwhile, Gu Zhun had just arrived at the company when Liu Weiwei rushed over and asked, "What were you doing last night?"
Gu Zhun felt a little guilty and was just about to say a few words to get it over with when he saw Liu Weiwei's eyes were as sharp as knives, as if she wanted to slice him into Peking duck.
"There are photos on Weibo saying that they saw you buying flowers in a flower shop last night. Tell me, what are you up to?" Liu Weiwei is really scared now. She is afraid that one day when she opens her eyes, she will see a trending search on Weibo saying that Gu Zhun has a child - if it is more explosive, it will say that Gu Zhun gave birth to a child himself!
Gu Zhun licked his lips. Yesterday he was really impulsive and only wanted to please Chen Shiman. He suddenly forgot that he was also a public figure.
"Nothing else?" Gu Zhun asked tentatively. If the photo only showed him buying a bouquet of flowers, it would be easy to explain. But if the photo showed him going somewhere, it would be difficult to explain.
Liu Weiwei glanced at him suddenly, her tone unpleasant and helpless. "Nothing else, who knows. But I have to tell you, you'd better behave yourself. The team has already started to refute the rumors. Go on Weibo to appease the fans, okay? Say something nice."
Sometimes Liu Weiwei really had the urge to no longer take care of Gu Zhun.
It’s because he is not a truly qualified idol.
He doesn't often please his fans, but he always makes things that become trending topics for no apparent reason.
Fortunately, other things happened today that overshadowed the hot search, so that Gu Zhun's flowers were only spread within the fan circle. Otherwise, it would be another expense to remove him from the hot search.
Liu Weiwei was really afraid that the company would find Gu Zhun too troublesome and not renew his contract.
After all, Gu Zhun is not irreplaceable. There are many idols and there are plenty of people to take over his position.
"By the way, Chen Shiman's vacation is too long. How can he work like this? Let me tell you, your money didn't come from the wind. Don't indulge him just because he has good photography skills and is handsome. Only by treating your subordinates strictly can you achieve long-term development." Liu Weiwei couldn't help but mention it.
Chen Shiman has been away for the past few days, and although it's a little dull without someone by her side, she has thought about this matter seriously. If Chen Shiman had been a little more attentive and kept a closer eye on Gu Zhun, he would have reported to her at the slightest sign of trouble, and Gu Zhun would not have been photographed all the time.
A life assistant is so careless. She originally agreed to Gu Zhun because she wanted to have one more person to look after him, not to let him cause unnecessary trouble.
Gu Zhun didn't say much, but he also explained a few words on behalf of Chen Shiman, saying that he really had something going on at home and couldn't get away. He had originally said that he would come to work today, but he disagreed.
His words were sincere and his tone was genuine, but Liu Weiwei was skeptical.
Only after seeing Liu Weiwei off did Gu Zhun feel relieved.
He really didn't expect that such a small incident last night was captured on camera. It seems that he needs to be more careful in the future.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhun suddenly realized that he had not been on Weibo to interact with fans for a long time.
He did what he said. He opened Weibo and took a look at his private messages first. They were just asking why he hadn't updated yet, or asking for an explanation about buying flowers last night.
Gu Zhun read all the private messages, then edited a Weibo post and sent it out.
In fact, what he posted was not something very exquisite, and there was not even his face in it. It was just the simplest breakfast he made for Chen Shiman in the morning. He suddenly took a photo at that time. Fortunately, he only took a photo of breakfast, otherwise he would have been questioned by sharp-eyed fans again.
As soon as he posted this Weibo, fans responded within a second.
[Zhun Yuge: Honey, you even know your Weibo password. I thought it was always Weiwei who posted on my behalf. Sure enough, every time you post something, it's this uninteresting. I give up.]
[Zhun Yuge: Where's that photographer from before? Brother Junzi, I suggest you quickly recruit him back. That's what we grown women should see!]
【LeLe just wants to eat oranges: Good morning, brother! 】
[What do you say about love: Good morning, brother. I had the same meal as you this morning.]
[I just want to play mahjong with you: This is hilarious! Our Ge Jie is so outspoken, she's a real fan! Brother Junzi, I suggest you get the photographer back! Five minutes! We want to have the old state banquet!]
…
In fact, Gu Zhun didn't quite understand. In the past, he had posted so many photos for business and received a lot of praise and requests for more, but no fans had ever said that the photographer had captured their specific spot. On the contrary, he only posted a few photos taken by Chen Shiman on Weibo, but the responses were very good. They said that they were the perfect girlfriend's perspective and revealed a full sense of being a husband. These were the kind of life photos that they liked to see.
Gu Zhun didn't understand. Chen Shiman was not a professional photographer, so how could he receive such high praise?
But fans said that he should quickly coax the photographer back, which is what he must do.
Yu Guzhun is typing away on his phone. [Reply to Zhun Yuge: Haha, I'm busy lately.]
Then he [replied: I just want to play mahjong with you: I'll be back soon, everyone wait]
After flipping through these two signs, Gu Zhun stopped playing Weibo. He suddenly thought of Chen Shiman, and how shy and happy he was when he received the flowers last night. He suddenly felt that if it could make him happy, being photographed would not be a bad thing - at least, everyone in the world witnessed the process of him holding flowers to meet Chen Shiman.
