Chapter 111



When Jian Shiwu heard this answer, his heart grew slightly complicated.

But Gu Duan looked very calm, he didn't seem to take this to heart, as the waves lapped by, the man stretched his back and walked towards the front: "What are you staring at, move fast, or else all the good stuff will be taken."

This beach not only had invited guests, the recording of the program was over, so the staff also came to play.

Many people were carrying small nets, wearing gloves and walking around on sandals, and if they got lucky and found some valuable seafood, there would be a loud cheer.

Not far away, Jin Zhe was still standing on a rock and shouted to Jian Shiwu, "Hey, we caught 2 crabs."

Jian Shiwu received the provocation.

Jin Zhe was a childish bastard who essentially liked to compete with him on every silly thing, and as a result of his smug provocation, Jian Shiwu cleared his throat and his strange desire to win turned over: "We picked up a lot of oysters!"

Jin Zhe grunted lightly, "Crabs sell for a high price!"

Jian made a face at him, "What's the big deal, I'll go catch a crab later too."

But in fact he was just bluffing, he had just been pinched by a crab and was screaming, now he was following Gu Duan like a prop.

Gu Duan was snapping a conch under a rock.

Jian Shiwu came over from the side, with a look of joy on his face, the young man ran towards him and said joyfully, "Director, guess what I've got."

Gu Duan was working on the task at hand and didn't look back: "What, did you get caught by a crab again?"

"......"

Can't you ever be nice?

Jian Shiwu didn't care about his attitude, stretched out his palm in front of him, and took advantage of the last rays of the sunset to show off an azure blue shell, not too small, half the size of a hand, and quite translucent in color that made it look better in the sunlight.

Gu Duan was frozen for a rare moment, he looked at the smug little Jian and snorted: "Where did you pick it up?"

Jian Shiwu pointed to the beach not far away, "I picked it up there, isn't it pretty."

"Not bad."

Jian Shiwu was happy, holding the shell and said, "Here you go."

Gu Duan looked away, "Go play with it yourself, little brat."

Jian Shiwu scratched his head: "Because I haven’t done much, so this shell is as a thank you gift, if you give it back to me, then I’ll give you all the money we earn."

Gu Duan glared at him, "I don't need that much money from you."

"......"

Jian Shiwu was stunned, innocently holding the shell, and said softly, "If you don't want it forget it, then I'll take it back to Shen Cheng."

?

The red hair on Gu Duan's head was about to explode, and he reached out in a vicious manner, "Give it to me!"

The shell was then snatched away, and Jian Shiwu looked at the man and said, "Even if I'm not short of that kind of money, I can't let you wear yourself out for nothing."

"......"



The following day




Business at the seafood market was doing well, because of the high popularity of the live broadcast room, it was inevitable that a group of customers would come to cheer. Jian Shiwu and Gu Duan sold out of their seafood buckets very quickly, their stuff was of good quality and they unsurprisingly got the first place in the group.

The director cheerfully said, "Come, come, here are your award certificates, you two come and sign here and then take a photo together as a souvenir."

It was like a wedding registration.

Jian Shiwu blushed and said, "Director, don't be so grand."

The director said, "Jian, the most important thing in life is the ceremony, these are all good memories, people are not always happy in life, in the lonely days of unhappiness, these good memories and objects, are gifts that accompany you for a lifetime."

Jian Shiwu thought about it. It was just signing his name and taking a photo, no big deal. So he stepped forward and stood at the table, glancing at Gu Duan next to him. The man also looked reluctant, but he picked up the pen before he did and signed his name at the end.

Before, when Jian Shiwu was his assistant and had asked him to sign the document many times, he’d do it in a hurry, but this time the signature was very serious.

The two words, Gu Duan, were in perfect order.

Jian Shiwu glanced at him with a smile: "Didn't expect that your idol baggage is heavy."

Knowing that in front of the camera, he wanted to write better.

Gu Duan: "Sign your name."

Jian Shiwu bent down to sign, his handwriting was originally a schoolboy font, and he also signed down next to it with a flourish, two names appeared on the same piece of paper, nestled together, in black and white.

The director smiled from a short distance away and said, "Come and have your picture taken."

The midday sun was warm, the sea breeze salty on the beach, the coconut trees shaking their leaves a few times in the wind, the fair-skinned youth stood next to the tall man, giving a wave to the camera.

The photographer said, "Lean in a little closer."

Gu Duan didn't move.

The cameraman then shouted, "It looks too stiff!"

Jian Shiwu posed for awhile, he did not expect Director Gu to had have never taken any photos. He was at least a star and has taken a lot of cover photos, as an experienced person, he could help him, finally having an area of expertise over the man.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, not far away, Jin Zhe and his group came running over.

Jin Zhe said, "Damn it, we are just one yuan away from you guys, we want to shoot too."

Sun Liman also laughed and coaxed next to him, "And you're obviously lying to win!"

The group of people ran over and jostled, Jian Shiwu subconsciously took a few steps back as Jin Zhe pounced on him in a hurry, and he fell backwards. Gu Duan behind him caught the man with one arm and was furious: "Watch your feet!"

The cameraman originally wanted to capture a beautiful scene, but the sudden intrusion of several people disrupted the original atmosphere, watching Jian Shiwu fall on top of Gu Duan in embarrassment, Gu Duan glaring at him in anger, Jin Zhe tickling him in front, and Sun Liman covering her lips as she laughed, a group of people in a mess.

"Click!"

The cameraman pressed the shutter.

The afternoon sea breeze blew across the beach, and this lively summer, this show, this group of young people in their prime had this memory come to an end in a blaze of laughter.



Evening

The show was over, and everyone went back to their respective homes.

Lui Heng even gave him a special reception, because in a few days they had to take on new notices, so the meal was a bit unrestrained, they even drank a little wine. At the end of the meal two drunk people began to think of the bright future, and finally went back together, the driver drove to the gate of Jian’s house and they got out to walk.

Lui Heng said, "Now that we're rich, the landlord won't dare to yell at me anymore."

Jian Shiwu smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, our good days are still ahead of us, and in the future, I'll be a big star for sure! Make you a lot of money too."

"Hahaha."

Lui Heng said, "You'll be rich even if you don't become a big star, when are you and Shen Cheng getting married?"

Marriage?

It was as if Jian Shiwu had been poked in the nail.

When he thought of marriage, his mind kept recalling his previous marriage, which was a failure, or rather, the marriage that killed him, and a wave of fear hit him uncontrollably, sending chills all over his body. This was a question that he subconsciously did not want to think about and he cowardly continued to drink wine.

Then the wine got the better of him and Jian muttered, "It's too early to get married, let's talk about it later."

Lui Heng burped: "Where is it too early? You and Shen Cheng have been together for how many years now, it's time to get it done. Are you afraid that Shen Cheng won't want to marry you?"

“I'm not afraid."

Jian Shiwu stubbornly said, "Marriage is a big matter of, you have to consider it carefully. Well, I haven't been dating him for a long time, and the future may be uncertain."

Lui Heng glanced at him disapprovingly: "What? Don't say that you've never considered marrying him?"

Jian subconsciously wanted to retort to him.

But he didn't know what to say about the concerns in his heart. Just as he was frowning and thinking hard, the slightly cool evening breeze blew past, and on the path by the forest was a man standing straight, not knowing how long he had been standing there, and was now looking straight at him, his figure looking a little lonely under the streetlight.

Shen Cheng

After Shen Cheng met his eyes, the alcoholism seemed to dissipate suddenly and disappeared without a trace. The evening wind was a little cold, making his whole body icy cold, and Jian Shiwu's face instantly turned pale.

Lui Heng also saw, even though he obviously had nothing to do with the matter, he was also little scared: "Brother Shi..."

Jian Shiwu's scalp also tingled, and he could only say stiffly to Lui Heng, "You go first."

Lui He g also knew he should not stay any longer, so he walked quickly towards the inside, Jian Shiwu house was only about 20 meters away. As he walked past Shen Cheng, he peeked at him, the man was standing straight, in a black suit that made him look serious and deep, cold faced and not smiling, making the heart fearful.

Damn, he hoped he didn’t hear what he and Jian Shiwu were talking about.

Lui Heng in front of him was apprehensive, and Jian Shiwu behind him was even more so. He stood stunned, his mind spinning rapidly, thinking wild thoughts.

Finally Shen Cheng spoke up, his voice extraordinarily clear in the autumn night: "Come here."

Jian Shiwu froze for a while, hesitating, but still took a step towards him, he looked up at Shen Cheng's face, he didn't realize it in the past two days, but he actually felt empty in his heart, and now that he was seeing him, he was extraordinarily satisfied. He had really missed him.

Shen Cheng: "Drinking."

Jian Shiwu nodded lightly: "When did you come?"

"Before you." Shen Cheng opened his lips: "Knowing that your show was ending today, I came to see you."

Jian Shiwu felt warmth in his heart, and was just about to speak when Shen Cheng's next words sent chills throughout his body: "Unfortunately, it seems to be a bad time to come."

He was angry.

He said softly, "You heard me, I didn't actually mean that, listen to my explanation."

"Good." Shen Cheng lowered his head and looked at him in a condescending manner, "Talk."

Jian Shiwu's heart was so confused that he didn't even know what he was saying: "I just think it's better to be more serious, let's get to know each other, get in touch with each other for a few years, and then consider marriage when we feel it's right."

"Mm."

Shen Cheng lowered his head, he was solemn and serious, his eyes were a bit meaningful, then he said: In a few years, you will be willing, right?"

Jian Shiwu was like an ant crawling on a hot pot over fire, he opened his mouth, fragmented images of his past life floated in his mind, and hesitated for several seconds not ready to reply.

The corners of Shen Cheng's mouth curled into a sarcastic smile as he said, "I know."

He turned around and prepared to leave, showing Jian Shiwu with a somewhat indifferent back. Although the young man in front of him hadn't yet figured out how to express it, he subconsciously knew that he could not let Shen Cheng walk away like this. So before Shen Cheng could take a few steps away, the corner of his coat was clutched in a death grip.

Jian Shiwu's hand was pulling at him to prevent him from leaving.

Shen Cheng frowned slightly and chilled his voice: "Let go."

"Not letting go."
