CH 26

When Gu Wei woke up, the plane just landed. Dazed from a peaceful sleep, he found himself still comfortably pillowed on Jiang Xun’s lap. The lack of sleep yesterday was finally made up for a little bit. He felt fresher and more alive.

Gu Wei rubbed his bleary eyes. Outside the window was the noon sun in H City, shining bright as always. He packed his luggage, only to realize that Jiang Xun had been staring at him.

Making the reaction meme’s lap his pillow for the whole morning made Gu Wei feel quite apologetic. So he reached out and rubbed Jiang Xun’s thigh, as if to soothe it.

“Ge, are you leaving?” Gu Wei asked.

The youth who just woke up looked much better, and his eyes were a little dewy with tears. Jiang Xun temporarily put aside his confusion and helped Gu Wei to smooth his hair that was messed up from sleep.

At the airport, there were quite a few fans who picked up Gu Wei. Each little hedgehog held up their signs and banners as a way to support him. When Gu Wei and Jiang Xun came out together, they were wearing the same type of masks. Despite that, they were quickly recognized. Seeing their idol arrive, they cheered happily to welcome him.

Gu Wei waved at his fans, and was still the first to tell them to be safe.

“Our nanny car didn’t come?” Gu Wei was a little surprised.

The new assistant Mu Yue was a little nervous, and apologized repeatedly: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Mr. Chen asked me to cover him because he took a leave, and I haven’t scheduled another driver.” 

Mu Yue was a newcomer, and this was her first job after graduation. She was unfamiliar with the intricacies of this job, it was no wonder she made such a big mistake when she first took office. The young lady was so nervous that her voice cracked, it looked like she was close to tears.

She had heard from her friends that many artists had bad tempers, and it was indeed her fault that Gu Wei stayed at the airport today.

“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it,” Gu Wei took off his mask, and smiled at Mu Yue to comfort her, “if you don’t tell anyone, I won’t tell either; the company won’t know.”

When Mu Yue was in college, she had seen a lot of scandalous stories about Gu Wei. It made her biased towards him, thinking that he was a fussy brat. Apart from daily work, she didn’t dare to talk to Gu Wei. Only now did she realize that her previous impression might be all wrong.

There were still many fans around, so Jiang Xun helped Gu Wei put on his mask properly. The little idol was much more charismatic and alluring when he’s on the stage, but he had a very warm smile when off-stage. This duality always fascinated Jiang Xun.

Mu Yue was comforted by Gu Wei. She was not so nervous, and then she remembered that there was Jiang Xun here, and the car on Jiang Xun’s side seemed to be waiting for a long time.

“God Xun,” Mu Yue asked, “can I trouble you to give our Weiwei a ride?”

“Of course,” Jiang Xun turned around and asked Gu Wei, “does Weiwei have any objections?”

Gu Wei naturally had no objections, but—

Although Jiang Xun had only echoed Mu Yue’s words, it was the first time Gu Wei heard Jiang Xun referred to him as “Weiwei”.

He felt that when that appellation came from Jiang Xun’s mouth, it had a different feeling from others. 

Gu Wei sat in the back seat of Jiang Xun’s SUV, and brushed1checked/played with up his phone as he sat next to Jiang Xun.

The low battery notification sounded, but the screen was still able to be turned on. Gu Wei saw the unread message notification from Chi Yunkai.

After he read Chi Yunkai’s message, he sneaked a glance at Jiang Xun, back to WeChat, back to Jiang Xun again, and finally, settling down at the WeChat messages. He had this subtle look at his face. 

“…is there anything you want to say to me?” Jiang Xun asked as he felt Gu Wei’s burning gaze.

Gu Wei glanced at the driver in the front row, and then at Mu Yue, the assistant in the passenger seat. The driver was concentrating on driving, while Mu Yue was listening to music with her earphones. Gu Wei put away his phone and moved closer to Jiang Xun’s seat.

Gu Wei leaned close to Jiang Xun’s ear, and whispered, “Ge, what type…  do you like…?”

Jiang Xun: “…”

Gu Wei deliberately lowered his voice. Jiang Xun felt the warm air brushed against the side of his neck.

If he hadn’t seen the messages Gu Wei had received just now, this scene would have looked like the youth was deliberately seducing him. 

But—

Jiang Xun felt rather complicated when he remembered those suspicious messages.

He was stuck between wanting to know the context, or blissful ignorance.

Seeing that Jiang Xun didn’t reply for a long time, Gu Wei nodded thoughtfully.

This reaction meme should have a lot of special “hobbies”, so he must be confused to pick his favorite ones. Tch, typical of a rogue.

It didn’t matter, Gu Wei was a patient man. He could wait for an answer.

Gu Wei stuck even closer, his lips almost brushing against Jiang Xun’s ear. He continued to ask the questions Chi Yunkai provided.

“Ge, then.. how do you usually like to play?”

Jiang Xun: “……”

Gu Wei gritted his teeth and looked at his phone. He took a deep breath, summoned up all of his courage, and squeezed even closer to Jiang Xun’s side again. His body was now all pressed up against the older man. He covered his mouth with his hand as he whispered again. This naughty brat’s lips asked the last question, tickling Jiang Xun’s ears– 

“Ge, what is… your… uhhh, size?”
