027. Former and Current
To celebrate Xie Xiaojiang's return to school, Wei Yuhuan specially arranged a short trip and took Xie Xiaojiang to France two weeks before he started school.
Xie Xiaojiang, who had never been abroad, was extremely excited when he heard about this. He felt that being with Wei Yuhuan was like riding a roller coaster, full of surprises at all times.
On the day of the trip, the driver took them to the international airport in City S. This was also the first time Xie Xiaojiang had ever taken a plane.
The airport was particularly busy that day. Some celebrity was coming. There were several layers of people surrounding the entrance. Those people were holding large photos and glowing name tags. Xie Xiaojiang also wanted to join in the fun, but was dragged by Wei Yuhuan to check in.
After passing the security check, there was a large commercial area inside. Xie Xiaojiang was dazzled by the sight. Wei Yuhuan was not in a hurry at this moment. He patiently accompanied Xie Xiaojiang around.
When boarding the plane, Xie Xiaojiang asked Wei Yuhuan a lot of stupid questions, such as whether it is possible to use the toilet on the plane, where to put the checked luggage, and whether babies can get on the plane... He was like a curious baby, full of questions about everything, and did not hide his ignorance in front of Wei Yuhuan at all.
Wei Yuhuan sometimes felt as if he was really taking a "son" abroad, not a lover. He couldn't help but hold Xie Xiaojiang's hand and told him, "Okay, follow me obediently, silly boy, don't get lost and don't know where to find me."
Xie Xiaojiang: “…”
After getting on the plane, Wei Yuhuan and Xie Xiaojiang walked directly to the front of the plane under the guidance of the flight attendant.
Wei Yuhuan usually buys business class tickets when he travels on business, but in order to give Xie Xiaojiang the best flying experience, he chose first class this time since the price was not much different anyway.
But Xie Xiaojiang didn't know that. He thought all the seats on the plane were large and comfortable sofa seats, with their own small coffee table and exclusive TV. When he saw it, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is too cool!"
The first-class cabin of International Airlines was quite large, with about thirty seats in total, but only a small half of them were occupied. When Xie Xiaojiang and Wei Yuhuan sat down, the seats next to them were empty.
A quarter of an hour later, when the plane was about to take off, a young man wearing sunglasses finally arrived. Coincidentally, he was sitting next to Xie Xiaojiang.
Xie Xiaojiang thought he looked familiar, stared at him for a while, and quickly realized - wasn't this the male star on the fan sign at the airport entrance
"Look, look!" Xie Xiaojiang, who had never seen the world, pulled Wei Yuhuan's sleeve with interest.
When the male star heard Xie Xiaojiang's voice, he also looked over and met Wei Yuhuan's eyes. They were both stunned.
"Wei..." The man paused and called out "Mr. Wei".
That’s right, this male star is none other than the popular young actor of Dongjing Entertainment, Lou Ze.
Just now, when he saw those fans holding up photos of Lou Ze downstairs, Wei Yuhuan subconsciously led Xie Xiaojiang away. The international airport is so big, and there are so many planes leaving the airport every day. He really didn't expect that Lou Ze would also be on this plane and sit next to them.
Wei Yuhuan was reluctant in his heart, but nodded to Lou Ze calmly: "Are you going to France too?" Their flight was heading directly to Paris.
"Yeah, we're going there to shoot the MV for the new album." Lou Ze explained and glanced at Xie Xiaojiang beside him with a strange expression.
"It turns out that Wei Yuhuan also knows big stars, how amazing!" Xie Xiaojiang looked at Lou Ze's exquisite and beautiful profile and said admiringly, "You are so handsome, can you sign an autograph for me?"
Xie Xiaojiang is not a fan of celebrities and has never met Lou Ze before, but "asking for autographs when seeing a celebrity" is the consensus of most ordinary people. Who cares who this person is or what his name is? After getting an autograph, you can still brag to others that you have met a celebrity.
Lou Ze: “…”
If he guessed correctly, this person was probably Wei Yuhuan's "current girlfriend"? The other person's appearance and temperament made people inexplicably fond of him, but also made Lou Ze a little jealous and wary. Having seen the intrigues in the entertainment industry, he didn't think Xie Xiaojiang was that simple.
Only Wei Yuhuan could hear that Xie Xiaojiang's words came from the heart. His baby was so pure and unpretentious...
But what does "knowing a big star is great" mean? Wei Yuhuan narrowed his eyes unhappily. Lou Ze's success today is inseparable from his own contribution, and the other party's cheating was also because he was too generous to care about it, otherwise he could easily cut off Lou Ze's path forward with just one word.
"It seems that you have developed quite well in the past two years." Wei Yuhuan intervened in the conversation calmly.
Lou Zejiang smiled and said, "Not bad, thanks to President Wei's appreciation and promotion back then."
Hearing this, Xie Xiaojiang was stunned. He looked at Wei Yuhuan with surprise—Wei Yuhuan could also promote a big star
Wei Yuhuan once again established his "tall and mighty" image in front of his lover. Wei was finally happy and didn't want to reminisce about the "old times" with Lou Ze anymore.
However, Xie Xiaojiang still pestered Lou Ze for an autograph, which made Wei Yuhuan want to sigh. It seemed that he would have to take this little thing out to see the world more often in the future, or simply take it to his brother's Global International for a tour, so that he would know that "stars" are not that rare.
After the plane took off, Xie Xiaojiang's attention was focused on the scenery outside the window. He and Wei Yuhuan exchanged window seats and looked outside in amazement.
Wei Yuhuan was also intrigued by his reaction. After taking countless flights, this was the first time he and Xie Xiaojiang admired the clouds outside the window.
After entering the stratosphere, Wei Yuhuan ordered a glass of brandy for Xie Xiaojiang, and also ordered a lot of snacks and fruits.
A seven-hour flight is not a comfortable experience for any "frequent flyer", and Lou Ze, who travels back and forth for work, has experienced it many times.
He wore an eye mask and closed his eyes to rest, but his mind couldn't help but recall the experience he had with Wei Yuhuan.
Wei Yuhuan was indeed a rare financial sponsor. Lou Ze regretted breaking up with him. Without a background, his life was very difficult. If he hadn't accumulated some popularity before and hadn't worked hard and obeyed the rules in the company, he would never be where he is today.
Now thinking back, it is normal for a rich and powerful man to have several lovers at the same time. If I had only regarded Wei Yuhuan as a pure "financial sponsor" at the beginning, maybe the situation would be different now.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world. When he received the photos sent by Wei Yuhuan's secretary, he was really unwilling to accept it - why did Wei Yuhuan party every night in the United States while he had to stay alone in an empty room in China
If he had the chance to do it again, he would probably make the same choice. This is his fate.
From time to time, there were whispers and laughter around me, which made my ears itchy.
Lou Ze was extremely sensitive to Wei Yuhuan's voice. He was really curious about what they were talking about, so he quietly pulled down his blindfold and took a peek.
I saw Wei Yuhuan and his little lover, their heads leaning against each other, reading a book together.
Lou Ze frowned. When he and Wei Yuhuan were together, there was only sex. Apart from those discs, they had never even watched a movie together.
Not long after, the young man seemed a little sleepy, tilting his head and drowsy. Wei Yuhuan pulled the air-conditioning blanket for him, put his left hand on the back of his right hand, and tilted his head to look at him. The expression on the man's face was gentle, which Lou Ze had never seen before.
Lou Ze felt sad, so he looked away and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I heard that faint, magnetic whisper in my ears again.
Lou Ze shook his stiff neck and looked over involuntarily, only to see Wei Yuhuan stretching out his arm to pinch the back of his lover's neck while saying something. The young man squinted his eyes and enjoyed Wei Yuhuan's service, with the corners of his mouth raised, and mumbled back something, probably asking for a kiss. Wei Yuhuan smiled and leaned over to kiss him.
Lou Ze was unexpectedly fed a mouthful of dog food, feeling both envious and angry.
Before the plane landed, Wei Yuhuan went to the bathroom and exchanged seats with Xie Xiaojiang.
Lou Ze turned his head impulsively to look at Xie Xiaojiang, and asked knowingly, "You are Wei Yuhuan's lover, right?"
Xie Xiaojiang blushed suddenly. He felt that Lou Ze's description was a little inaccurate, but he didn't know how to introduce the relationship between himself and Wei Yuhuan more naturally and appropriately, so he could only say "hmm" in panic.
Lou Ze smiled and said, "Haha, I used to be like that too."
Hearing this, Xie Xiaojiang was stunned for a moment.
Lou Ze was very satisfied with Xie Xiaojiang's reaction: "Don't be too nervous, we have broken up."
Xie Xiaojiang: “…”
"Boss Wei has had many lovers, I'm just one of them," Lou Ze curled the corners of his lips and raised his beautiful eyes, "I remember when I was with him, he also had a secretary named Li, and we were in the same relationship."
Lou Ze was really curious whether Xie Xiaojiang would mind sharing a man with others.
After getting off the plane, Wei Yuhuan realized that Xie Xiaojiang was a little bit abnormal. Just now on the plane, the little guy was still very excited about the upcoming journey, but now he was too silent.
"What's wrong?" Wei Yuhuan caringly put his arm around Xie Xiaojiang's shoulders and let him lean towards him.
Xie Xiaojiang shook his head, chewing over and over what Lou Ze had just said, his mind in a mess.
Yes, Wei Yuhuan never mentioned how many lovers he had, and he himself had never thought about this question.
At this moment, he suddenly recalled the meaning of the two sentences Li Xiuya said to him at the company's annual meeting last year.
—Mr. Wei is nice to everyone.
—Don't get too deep.
Looking back on his love affair with Wei Yuhuan, Xie Xiaojiang found that he was like an ignorant moth, who had stumbled into Wei Yuhuan's trap without knowing what was happening. The first taste of love, the intoxicating sweetness almost paralyzed all his nerves.
But what could he say? Wei Yuhuan was such a charming man, so gentle and considerate, and he was a magnet for women wherever he went. If he said that his relationship with her was innocent before they started dating, Xie Xiaojiang himself would not believe it.
When Wei Yuhuan saw Xie Xiaojiang shaking his head, he thought he was just tired, so he quickly picked up his luggage and took a taxi to take them to the hotel.
The hotel was carefully selected by Wei Yuhuan when he was in China. It is located on Boulevard Haussmann, the most prosperous area in Paris. It is lively and exotic.
But Xie Xiaojiang didn't say a word all the way here, and when he looked out the window in the taxi, he wasn't as excited as he was on the plane. Even after checking in, he still looked depressed.
Wei Yuhuan was puzzled: "What's the matter?" There were only two of them in the hotel room. He pulled Xie Xiaojiang to sit on him and touched his forehead: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Xie Xiaojiang was a straightforward person. He was not the kind of person who would hide his thoughts. Apart from physical discomfort, Wei Yuhuan could not think of any other reasons. "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?" He asked one question after another with concern.
Xie Xiaojiang pursed his lips, snorted lightly, and said honestly: "Yes, I feel uncomfortable."
Wei Yuhuan was very nervous: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xie Xiaojiang looked at Wei Yuhuan, pointed to his heart and frowned, "Here."
Wei Yuhuan: “…”
Xie Xiaojiang looked depressed, but his tone was particularly serious: "Wei Yuhuan, I think I'm jealous."
