Chapter 153
In the car, Lu Wei was so angry he smashed his phone twice. “That Qi Huan. I ran into him on the set yesterday, and he said something like ‘I’m more popular recently, and it’s hard to manage so many fans.’”
Lu Wei was a silly and big-hearted person. His private personality was a bit of a fun-lover, a little childish, which was why he could get along so well with Shen Tiantian.
Lu Wei continued to say angrily: “I didn’t understand what he meant at first. I thought, if you have a lot of fans, then you have a lot of fans. What does it have to do with me?”
At this point, his voice couldn’t help but carry a hint of a sob: “I’m really impressed. It wasn’t until I got back that my assistant told me that Qi Huan was being sarcastic to me, wuwu.” Otherwise, this silly big fool would not have noticed at all.
Tiantian was listening on the side. He couldn’t help but let out an “ai” and patted his big brother Lu Wei’s shoulder comfortingly. “Big brother Qi Huan likes to say some strange things. We children shouldn’t bother with him and not play with him.”
The two of them, one big and one small, put their heads together and began to think about how to retort the next time they met Qi Huan.
Tiantian: “You lift your chin high and give him a fierce glare.”
Lu Wei: “That’s right! Then I’ll let out a ‘hmph’ and not give him a good face!”
Tiantian clapped his hands. “Yay! Let big brother Qi Huan know how amazing you are!”
Lu Wei clapped his hands. “That’s right. I’m not someone to be trifled with!”
The two of them had a sneaky plan. Lu Wei’s heart was finally at ease. Lu Wei took out his phone and took a few selfies with Shen Tiantian with a brilliant smile. “I’ll post a nine-square grid of our pictures and let Qi Huan know that we’re the best friends in the industry!”
Tiantian nodded and then unceremoniously held out his hand. “Then you have to give Tiantian a reward. I want to eat takoyaki.”
Lu Wei was so angry he slapped his little paw. “I know!”
Lu Wei hadn’t brought his assistant, so he had to put on his mask and hat again and get out of the car to buy takoyaki on the street. After the nine-square grid of their photos was posted, Lu Wei’s fans’ morale soared.
[See! People who have a really good relationship will meet up privately!]
[Hey, I found that a certain two-character star with the surname Qi has never posted a picture of a private dinner with a little actor! Why is that?]
[They’re not close. What else can it be?]
The fan circle war between the two families had been going on for a long time. Qi Huan naturally also saw this Weibo post and the comments below, and his heart, liver, and lungs were all hurting from anger.
But he had had an unpleasant encounter with Shen Tiantian in the film crew before, and at this moment, he couldn’t bring himself to go and find Shen Tiantian for a meal. He could only let Lu Wei’s fans step on him!
When he arrived at the set the next day, just as Qi Huan was about to get on his nanny van, he looked up and saw Lu Wei walk over. Qi Huan complained a few times in his heart. Before he could greet him with an awkward smile, he saw Lu Wei with a straight face, letting out a heavy huff at him.
Then he turned his face and walked away without looking back. Qi Huan: Ahhh! Is this person sick!
After letting out a breath of foul air, Lu Wei’s mood was extremely cheerful for several days. He was also generous and ordered a few small snack takeouts for his good friend, Tiantian.
In the small park of the villa area. Tiantian was carrying a bag of snacks and was sitting in a shady spot by the flower bed with Gu Nanqi, sharing the food. Gu Nanqi’s height had grown very fast. The eight- or nine-year-old child was already almost one meter five.
When he walked out, Tiantian, this short and stout five-headed figure, looked at least five or six years younger than him. Shen Tiantian was gnawing on a sour and spicy chicken claw, and he looked at Gu Nanqi’s tall stature with envy. His mouth was red from the spiciness, and he was hissing and sucking in air.
“When will I be very tall too?” Tiantian’s height seemed to always be a bit shorter than his good friends.
Gu Nanqi was also very satisfied with his tall stature. When he walked out, his momentum was fierce, and he was very cool! “It’s okay. What’s wrong with you being short? You’re also very cute!”
This sentence directly poked at Shen Tiantian’s wound. His little face puffed up into a pufferfish, and he put his hands on his hips as if his fur were on end. “Of course not. I drink milk every day now, and I’ve already grown very tall!”
Gu Nanqi scratched his head, not understanding why Tiantian had suddenly gotten angry. After all, in Gu Nanqi’s heart, Tiantian had always been like this, a short little ball, and he had to look down to see him. But Tiantian was exquisitely good-looking, and being a little shorter made him even cuter.
“It’s okay, Tiantian. It’s okay if you don’t grow tall. My mom said that I’ll definitely be able to grow to one meter eight in the future. I’ll just have to protect you then.”
Tiantian took the half-eaten jelly from Gu Nanqi’s hand, his little face straight, and put it back in his snack bag. “I’m breaking up with you!”
Tiantian held his snack bag and ran home in a huff. Leaving Gu Nanqi stunned on the spot. The two little friends’ cold war lasted for a full day.
In the end, it was Auntie Yueli who made a small mousse cake and invited Tiantian to play at their house, and the two greedy ghosts finally made up. The summer weather was hot. Tiantian was wearing a cool short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and his favorite little pink pig slippers.
He sat cross-legged on the carpet and ate a spoonful of the small mousse cake at a time. Gu Nanqi was digging into a chilled watermelon on the side, and his dark face and Shen Tiantian’s fair and tender skin formed a sharp contrast.
After gnawing on half a chilled watermelon, Gu Nanqi wiped his mouth. “It’s a good thing you’re here. Otherwise, my mom wouldn’t have taken out the small cake and the watermelon for me to eat.”
Shen Tiantian was so engrossed in eating that he nodded. Gu Nanqi, however, suddenly asked a question: “By the way, has Qin Ye contacted you recently?”
Qin Ye and Gu Nanqi had not exchanged phone numbers, and their only interaction was through QQ space. But for a long time, Qin Ye had not posted on QQ space. He was even often not online.
Tiantian’s ears twitched when he heard someone mention Qin Ye. He sighed and looked up. “No. Did something happen to Yezi?”
Tiantian actually knew that the friendship between children was very fragile and would completely disappear with a series of problems such as moving or changing schools. There was a whole ocean between him and Qin Ye. And they hadn’t seen each other for more than two years.
Maybe Qin Ye has already made better friends abroad?
The reason why Qin Ye had had such a good relationship with Tiantian at the beginning was also somewhat due to imprinting. Tiantian was the first little friend who had been good to him after he had lost his memory.
At that time, Qin Ye was living under someone else’s roof, so he naturally wanted to hold on to this only friendship. But Qin Ye had been living abroad for so long and might have slowly gotten used to life outside and no longer needed to maintain his old relationships. Tiantian felt that this was also good.
He had a very open-minded personality, was bright, and was never short of good friends. So he was also very willing to see others have a better life. This summer, Tiantian was busy filming, and his little face was almost peeling from the sun.
In early September, in order not to miss the school registration for elementary school, Tiantian followed his assistant, Little Zhou, and rushed back from the film crew by plane. When he got home, the orange-red afterglow was slowly turning into a deep blue, and the light in the sky was gradually dissipating.
Tiantian was dragging his big little pink pig suitcase. He looked up and saw a little teenager standing at the door of his house. In the dim light, Tiantian’s eyes narrowed slightly. Against the light, he couldn’t see this person’s face clearly.
“Who are you?”
The familiar, tender little milky voice was still as lively and energetic as ever. The little teenager looked up. His tall and straight figure was like a green and thriving poplar tree, and a hint of light was in his lead-gray eyes.
His expression was cold, and the baby fat on his cheeks had also faded, but his expression still showed a hint of a child’s childishness. “Tiantian, it’s me, Qin Ye.”
Tiantian got a little closer, saw Qin Ye’s face clearly, and couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise. “Qin Ye?” Shen Tiantian was surprised. “You’ve grown so tall!”
Qin Ye’s overall appearance had not changed much, but after not seeing him for two or three years, he had grown a lot. His usually straight-faced, serious little appearance now looked a little more like an adult.
Qin Ye’s lips lifted slightly. After not seeing each other for so long, Tiantian was still a little distant with Qin Ye. The two children had a simple conversation and talked about their recent situation.
Qin Ye said that his mother’s work focus was gradually shifting to China, so she had been busy with the final work for the past period of time. Qin Ye had been sent to a foreign boarding institution before, which was very strict, and he was not allowed to use his phone much.
Qin Bailan couldn’t come back for the time being, so she could only let Qin Ye return to the country first and start the fourth grade with the domestic school in September. When he talked about returning to the country for school, the light in his eyes was even brighter, and his gray eyes were full of brilliance.
“From now on, I can go to school with Tiantian.”
Tiantian also talked about his filming. He was waving his hands and feet, and when he spoke, he couldn’t help but happily shake his head twice. “I’ve almost finished filming my little villain’s scenes this summer. Big sister Zheng Wei said that she won’t be getting me any roles for the next two years and wants me to settle down.”
Because Tiantian often read scripts, his literacy was very high, and his Chinese scores were not bad, but his math scores were always a bit behind. Zheng Wei was afraid that his learning foundation was not solid, and in addition, there were really no good scripts in the industry recently, so she wanted Shen Tiantian to go to school for two years first.
Qin Ye listened to Tiantian’s chirping, sparrow-like talk, and felt that his dull and uninteresting life had finally welcomed a different kind of lively atmosphere. He listened quietly and had no intention of interrupting. His heart also became more and more calm.
It wasn’t until the sky was completely dark that Tiantian finally waved his small hand and said goodbye to him. “I have to go. I have to go to elementary school for registration tomorrow!”
His brother had said that when Shen Tiantian had first gone to kindergarten, he had been late for the school registration. Tiantian was young, and he couldn’t remember such a small thing at all. So he firmly denied this. And at dinner, Tiantian loudly announced:
“The Tiantian who is going to elementary school is already a different Tiantian!”
He’s the Tiantian who has a kindergarten diploma and has stepped into a higher level of authority—elementary school, an incredibly amazing Tiantian!
The family was all gathered tonight. Shen Yuanchuan sat in the main seat, nodded lightly, and waited for him to continue. If he wasn’t mistaken, the six-year-old Shen Tiantian was about to give his succession speech.
Sure enough. In the next second, Shen Tiantian swallowed the fish ball, took a sip of the light fish soup, and cleared his throat. “Since Tiantian has already graduated from kindergarten, shouldn’t Daddy consider giving the company’s shares to Tiantian?”
On the table. Shen Xiuze lowered his eyes, served himself some fish soup, and his cold and indifferent face did not show the slightest ripple. Shen Jinfeng took a bite of the crispy fried chicken cutlet, propped up his chin, and didn’t even lift his eyelids.
The two of them were completely immune to Shen Tiantian’s words. Shen Yuanchuan also couldn’t help but sigh. “With a kindergarten diploma, if you were to apply to our company, you wouldn’t even be able to get in the door.”
The HR who was interviewing would probably even have to give him a bottle of Wangzai milk. And yet, he still fantasized about being a little president with a kindergarten diploma?
Qin ye is finally back. I almost forgot of his existence hahaha 😅
