Chapter 57: What, Trying to Compensate Me?
When Zhou Sijin arrived at the garage holding the box, Chen Wei was already waiting there.
Looking at the ordinary white BMW 5 Series next to him, Zhou Sijin frowned slightly.
Previously, he had never paid attention to Chen Wei’s personal life.
But Chen Wei was at least a celebrity. With endorsement fees and acting salaries as his income, his life shouldn’t be too bad.
Yet, the apartment upstairs was less than 200 square meters, and this car in front of him couldn’t even compare to a small accessory on the cars in his own garage.
For the first time, Zhou Sijin began to doubt himself.
Chen Wei had no idea about his internal monologue.
Seeing him walking over and knowing he had spotted him, Chen Wei opened the door and got into the car.
Zhou Sijin had never sat in the passenger seat.
But today, Chen Wei was driving.
Driven by some strange impulse, he took the box, walked over to the passenger side, and opened the door.
He sat down in the passenger seat.
Watching Chen Wei turn the ignition and start the car.
Zhou Sijin had a stomach full of questions but didn’t know where to start.
Chen Wei glanced at him knowingly: “What do you want to ask?”
Using the car door as an armrest, Zhou Sijin leaned halfway and asked him with a smile:
“Do you like sports cars?”
“No.” Chen Wei’s answer was crisp and decisive.
“…”
The smile on Zhou Sijin’s face froze at his overly quick response.
He had been thinking the Ferrari LaFerrari in his garage would suit him and was planning to give it to him.
“Anything else you want to ask?”
With the initiative in Chen Wei’s hands, Zhou Sijin had never been this passive before.
Putting away his smile and lowering his arm, Zhou Sijin sat up straight and asked:
“Where are you taking me?”
“A hotel,” Chen Wei answered truthfully.
Zhou Sijin decided to ask all his questions at once. Holding up the box in his hand, he asked:
“And what about these little toys in here?”
Chen Wei said bluntly:
“If you don’t like them, you can throw them out the window right now.”
“Tsk.”
Zhou Sijin clicked his tongue lightly.
Throw them out?
He would have to be out of his mind to ungratefully toss these away.
No wonder Chen Wei took such a big detour to say he was taking him to a hotel.
But compared to a hotel, he actually had a much better place in mind.
Shifting his gaze back to Chen Wei, who was driving, Zhou Sijin asked:
“Which area in Beicheng do you like?”
Chen Wei cast a side glance at him.
Zhou Sijin continued on his own:
“Do you like the city center?”
“…”
Chen Wei couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.
From asking about sports cars to asking about preferred locations, by this point, he finally understood what Zhou Sijin was up to.
At the red light, Chen Wei slowly stopped the car and turned to look at him:
“What, trying to compensate me?”
“…”
The reason Zhou Sijin had stayed with Chen Wei all this time was precisely because of his unique cleverness that others lacked.
But sometimes, this cleverness could be quite annoying.
Like right now.
With one airy sentence, Chen Wei completely exposed his little hidden thoughts.
He did indeed want to compensate him through this method.
Putting everything else aside.
Just the fact that Chen Wei was his, Zhou Sijin’s, bed partner.
And hadn’t his treatment of Chen Wei been a bit too stingy?
In the past, because of Chen Wei’s status as his underground lover, he had never brought him to any major events, so very few people in their circle knew Chen Wei belonged to him.
Back then, how Chen Wei lived naturally had absolutely nothing to do with him.
Now, since he was no longer deliberately hiding their relationship, Chen Wei’s identity would be exposed sooner or later.
When the time came, if Chen Wei showed up in his circle with this current standard of living, he would definitely be mocked behind his back for being a stingy miser who didn’t give a dime to his lover.
The red light at the intersection turned green at some point, and the honking from the car behind them pierced through the glass.
Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Wei released the brake pedal.
The car slowly started moving.
Not on the same wavelength, the two men, each with their own thoughts, remained silent.
The compensation Chen Wei imagined and the compensation Zhou Sijin intended were completely different.
He thought Zhou Sijin was compensating him because of the Ji Can incident.
In reality, Zhou Sijin had just remembered his neglect and treatment of Chen Wei over the years, felt guilty, and wanted to use houses and cars to make up for it.
At the very least, when others saw him, they would say with envy, “Look, that’s Zhou Sijin’s person.”
Instead of making sarcastic remarks to add insult to injury, “So what if he’s with Zhou Sijin? It’s nothing special.”
While Zhou Sijin’s state of mind was quietly changing, Chen Wei’s mood also went through complex shifts.
Originally, he had thought that even if he had to leave one day, he should at least finish filming the movie he had agreed to with Zhang Quan.
But Ji Can’s appearance and today’s encounter with him had completely derailed all his plans.
With Ji Can there, he couldn’t stay by Zhou Sijin’s side without feeling burdened anymore.
Chen Wei also thought of the night Zhou Sijin forcefully pinned his half-naked body against the window.
Given Zhou Sijin’s temper and methods, if he knew he wanted to leave, he definitely wouldn’t let him go easily.
Chen Wei could feel Zhou Sijin looking at him.
But the traffic on Beicheng’s evening streets was still terrifyingly heavy.
Chen Wei had to focus seventy percent of his attention on the cars passing on both sides.
Fortunately, Zhou Sijin was just purely looking at him and didn’t ask any further questions.
The car stopped in front of a five-star hotel.
Turning off the engine, Chen Wei turned to look at Zhou Sijin in the passenger seat:
“Do you still remember this place?”
Following his question, Zhou Sijin looked out the window.
As the familiar hotel name entered his vision, Zhou Sijin suddenly understood why Chen Wei had brought him here.
Nodding, Zhou Sijin said:
“I remember, it’s the place where we officially met for the first time.”
Chen Wei smiled, quite satisfied with his answer.
Taking out the sunglasses and mask he kept handy in the car, he bundled himself up tightly before opening the door and stepping out.
Zhou Sijin grabbed the box and followed closely behind.
Chen Wei walked straight inside without stopping, forcing Zhou Sijin to quicken his pace to keep up.
The hotel attendants, who had been waiting, parked the car in the underground garage after they left.
Zhou Sijin held the box in one hand and wrapped the other around Chen Wei’s waist.
There were many people coming and going in the hotel. Most of those who stayed here were wealthy or noble, accustomed to grand scenes.
Chen Wei’s full disguise didn’t really attract much attention.
However, someone with sharp eyes instantly recognized Zhou Sijin beside him.
Hesitating and intending to come over and say hello, they were scared off right in their tracks by a light, sweeping glance from Zhou Sijin.
Looking at Chen Wei next to him, they felt shocked but also incredibly confused.
Zhou Sijin’s clean reputation was famous in their circle.
Anyone who tried to climb into his bed never ended up well.
Over time, rumors spread in the circle that he was frigid.
There were also rumors saying he was keeping himself pure for the little boy he raised by his side.
But now, what was the deal with the man he had his arm around?
