Chapter 113
Not a single trace of light could be seen in the pitch-black night, and the howling cold wind was blocked by the window.
In the bedroom, a warm light illuminated a small area by the head of the bed.
Shen Xiuze was leaning against the bed, flipping through the data report for the next two days on his tablet.
He was looking at it with full concentration for a while when suddenly, his ears twitched, and he heard the sound of the bedroom door opening.
At first, Shen Xiuze thought it was Shen Yuanchuan or Shen Jinfeng.
After all, if it were Shen Tiantian, the little one’s noisy voice would have come from outside the door before he even arrived.
But unexpectedly, after the door opened, a fluffy little head poked in from outside, revealing a pair of round, dark eyes.
It was really Shen Tiantian.
Shen Tiantian seemed much more shy than usual. He took small, shuffling steps, his eyes sparkling.
“Big brother, are you not sleeping yet?”
His voice was as soft as a marshmallow.
Shen Xiuze put down his tablet, glanced at the particularly well-behaved little one, and let out a light laugh.
“I’ll sleep after I’ve read the report for a while. What about you? Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and coming to find me?”
Tiantian giggled, lay on the side of his brother’s bed, and propped up his little face to look at his brother.
“Big brother, was it you who picked up the toy cars?”
Shen Xiuze paused at these words. He hadn’t expected Shen Tiantian to find out so quickly and coughed in embarrassment.
He rarely did things for his family, and he didn’t like to talk about it even if he did.
Shen Xiuze pressed his lips together and didn’t answer directly:
“Hurry up and go back to sleep. Don’t you have to record a show tomorrow?”
Tiantian, however, was a little relentless. He climbed onto his brother’s bed with his hands and feet and brought his little head closer.
Like a rolling little kitten, Tiantian rubbed his little face hard against his brother’s and smiled obediently and softly.
“You’re so nice, big brother. Thank you, big brother~”
After rubbing against his brother, Shen Tiantian jumped down from the bed and bounced out.
In that moment, Shen Xiuze felt that his heart had melted into a pool of water.
The corners of his lips lifted, and until he went to bed, Shen Xiuze was still thinking that having a little brother was really quite nice.
Before the winter vacation was completely over, the variety show had another outdoor recording.
This time, the recording location was set in the city next door.
Tiantian woke up early in the morning, and in the foggy morning, he pushed his huge suitcase and got into the car that the production team had sent to pick them up.
Shen Jinfeng hadn’t started school yet and accompanied the little one to the recording.
The fixed live camera in the car had already been turned on at this time, and comments were quickly pouring out.
I’m here, I’m here!
Wow, it’s a pink Tiantian!
It’s rare for him to dress so pink and tender. Let’s take a picture to commemorate it!
Because of the recording, Tiantian had specially worn a pink and blue pullover sweater and a light pink fluffy coat today.
His whole person was like a small peach blossom that had just bloomed in early spring. When he smiled, his cheeks were also rosy, and he was particularly beautiful.
Shen Jinfeng sat with Shen Tiantian and felt that although the tail of winter had not completely gone, spring seemed to have already arrived.
Shen Tiantian was still humming a song on the side, happily shaking his little head.
Extremely cheerful.
All the way, Shen Jinfeng’s ears were not idle.
The car drove for nearly two hours. Just before they got off, Tiantian tugged on his brother’s clothes and pointed to the amusement park outside the window in surprise.
“Big brother, big brother! Look, there’s a big amusement park outside!”
The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the amusement park. Shen Jinfeng glanced outside and probably had an idea.
Today’s recording should be related to the amusement park.
Shen Jinfeng took the little brat out of the car and greeted the other guests who had arrived at about the same time.
Today was a nice day. After the sun came out, the shallow white mist faded, revealing a whole clear and bright world.
In front of the open space of the amusement park square, the director tapped the microphone, cleared his throat, and said:
“Let me see, which little friend is still making a fuss and not listening to the director?”
Shen Tiantian had been called out by the director uncle before. At this moment, he quickly placed his small hands by his sides, stood straight and tall, craned his neck, and his little face was extremely serious.
Seeing this, the other children also stood at attention one by one, like they were in a military posture, and looked up at the director in unison.
The scene instantly quieted down.
The director stood in front, saw the children’s actions clearly, and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Good! Everyone has performed very well. I praise you! Now, the director uncle is going to announce today’s recording rules!”
“There are many amusement park rides in the amusement park. Your task today is very simple! The group of guests who play the most rides will win!”
“However, the funds for the amusement park rides need to be earned by the guests themselves.”
This amusement park was a key amusement project that had just been built in the city next door. It had just opened after the New Year, and its fame had not yet spread.
The group of them had been standing at the entrance for so long, and they hadn’t met a few people who had come to the amusement park to play.
The huge amusement park was empty and seemed a little desolate.
This time, cooperating with this variety show was also to enhance the amusement park’s popularity and attract more people to come and play.
The production team had already set up many small “amusement fund stations” in the amusement park in advance.
At these stations, the guests could earn today’s amusement funds by playing games or completing tasks.
The director specially emphasized:
“The play time ends at six in the afternoon. Everyone must arrange their time reasonably! Experience as many amusement park rides as you can!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the children shouted “okay” in their milky voices.
Tiantian held his second brother’s hand, his head down, and rushed into the amusement park.
As soon as he rushed into the amusement park, Tiantian looked up and was dazzled by the various amusement park rides.
He stood in front of a bumper car ride, let out a “wow,” and his little feet were completely unable to move.
“Shen Tiantian? What are you doing?”
Shen Jinfeng had walked two steps forward and, seeing that the little one had not followed, he turned his head and asked.
Tiantian pointed to the bumper cars, made a gesture of holding a steering wheel with both hands, and mimicked the sound of bumping.
“So fun. Big brother, can we go and play this?”
Shen Jinfeng sighed, held the back of Shen Tiantian’s collar, and dragged the little one, whose eyes were sparkling, away.
“We’ll come and play later. We don’t have any money in our pockets. We have to go and earn money first.”
The director uncle’s explanation just now was too complicated, and Tiantian didn’t quite understand. Hearing this, his eyes lit up.
“I have money, I have money!”
He took out a pink banknote from his pocket, shook it, and said very magnanimously:
“Big brother, I’ll treat you.”
Shen Jinfeng sighed again and helplessly tapped Shen Tiantian’s forehead.
“I told you you’re stupid. This money can’t be used in the park today. You obviously didn’t listen carefully just now.”
As he was speaking, Shen Jinfeng turned his head and found a hidden camera from the production team.
A small stall with a shed was set up there, and an older sister was standing in front of the table, smiling.
“This is a fund station. But to earn amusement funds, you have to win against me in a competition.”
Shen Tiantian couldn’t wait to run over, held onto the table, and poked his little round head out.
“What are we competing in? I’m very amazing at playing games.”
The older sister pointed to the chessboard on the side.
“We’re playing Gomoku. One game determines the winner. Do you want to play?”
Before Shen Jinfeng could speak, Tiantian was the first to say:
“Yes, yes! I know how to play!”
The older sister smiled and gently touched Tiantian’s head.
“Okay, then I’ll take the white pieces, and Tiantian will take the black pieces.”
Shen Jinfeng didn’t stop him and silently watched as Shen Tiantian played Gomoku.
As expected, Shen Tiantian, who didn’t quite understand the rules, was quickly defeated in just half a minute.
Looking at the row of white pieces, Tiantian rubbed his little eyes in disbelief.
“How can this be!”
Tiantian was shocked.
He had been staring at the chessboard without blinking!
How did the white pieces form a line in the blink of an eye?
Tiantian was hit. His little body was swaying, and he took two steps back in a daze.
“There’s something wrong with this chessboard!” he shouted.
Shen Jinfeng held back his laughter and took the little one, who couldn’t accept defeat, to the side.
“Let me do it.”
The older sister timely made a “please” gesture.
Shen Jinfeng’s IQ was online. He held the black pieces and took a few steps with great care.
The staff member’s older sister was also very good at playing. The two of them fought for a full five minutes, and the whole chessboard was almost full.
Tiantian was watching on the side, very anxious.
He counted the black pieces with his poor math skills and found that none of them could form a line.
As anxious as a headless little fly, Tiantian circled around his brother and the older sister’s legs, as anxious as if he were the one playing.
Fortunately, Shen Jinfeng had specially left a way out for himself. Just as they were about to have a draw, he successfully connected the black pieces into a line.
The older sister, as a Gomoku master, cupped her fists at him in admiration.
“You won. Your Gomoku skills are very high. I’ve rarely been beaten when I played this before.”
Shen Jinfeng’s palms were slightly sweaty, and his rapidly spinning brain suddenly relaxed. He couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh of relief.
“It’s okay. I’m very interested in Go and have studied it for a while.”
The principles of chess are all the same, and Shen Jinfeng was also very good at Gomoku.
However, Shen Jinfeng said with confusion:
“Are the fund stations set up by the production team so difficult to complete?”
The older sister laughed out loud and handed the funds that Shen Jinfeng had earned to him.
“Of course. Otherwise, where would the highlights be? This is the fund for winning the Gomoku game.”
It was two hundred yuan with the amusement park’s main gate and a cartoon little yellow duck printed on it!
Tiantian leaned his little head over, and his eyes were as if they had fallen into fine, crushed diamonds, sparkling and shining.
He looked at his usually mean-mouthed and annoying second brother and decided to temporarily put aside their internal conflicts and praise his second brother.
“Big brother, you’re the best big brother! You’re more amazing than any other big brother in the world! And you even won the Gomoku game. It’s simply amazing!”
The little one clapped like a seal, his tone cheerful, and he circled around Shen Jinfeng, praising him until his ears were burning.
“Alright, I know.”
Shen Jinfeng lifted his eyes and glanced at the little one, but the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but lift wildly.
