Chapter 149
To comfort the sad Gu Nanqi, Shen Tiantian took out the last three yuan from his pocket and bought a starch sausage. “Don’t cry. You can have the sausage.”
Gu Nanqi held the sausage and cried even harder. “Thank you, Tiantian. I haven’t had a sausage in half a month.”
Tiantian let out an “ah” and patted Gu Nanqi’s shoulder with pity. “You’re so pitiful, Gu Xiaoqi. I’ll treat you to the sausage.”
Gu Nanqi also felt that he was very pitiful. He wiped his tears, a bubble of snot on his nose, his voice choked. “My daddy is going to beat me, and he’s also taken all my pocket money!”
Gu Nanqi was indignant and took a bite of the starch sausage. “Isn’t it just that I broke the vase he bought at an auction? Why does he have to beat my butt until it’s black and blue?”
Gu Nanqi finished the sausage, took a deep breath, and tried to keep the fragrance in his lungs. “I have to take a few deep breaths every time I walk past this street these past few days.”
Smelling is equivalent to eating.
Tiantian listened and felt that Gu Xiaoqi was even more pitiful. “My pocket money is also very little.” Pocket money couldn’t survive for two days in Shen Tiantian’s hands.
Shen Xiuze had described Shen Tiantian’s hands as a sieve. No matter how much money was in his hands, it would quickly leak out. The two poor brothers sighed at the same time.
Gu Nanqi had a new ambition. “In the future, I’m going to be a boss who sells sausages!”
That way, he would have endless sausages to eat!
Gu Nanqi even changed this sentence into his QQ signature. Qin Ye, who was in a foreign country, had been paying attention to Gu Nanqi’s movements. When he saw his updated QQ signature, he was silent for a long time.
Qin Ye took a screenshot, planning to take it out and laugh at him when Gu Nanqi grew up. At night, Qin Ye posted a set of pictures in his space. It was a screenshot of him booking a theater to treat people to the movie that Tiantian had starred in with a competition prize money.
Tiantian, who didn’t know how to use QQ, rarely went online and posted a series of cupped-face small flowers below.
[IsLongTiantianAow: Thank you, Yezi!

Gu Nanqi was also online. When he saw it, he silently took down his signature of selling sausages. He didn’t know why, but he inexplicably felt a little inferior to Qin Ye.
They’re both seven years old. Why does Qin Ye have so much money?
Gu Nanqi was extremely indignant. However… Wouldn’t Qin Ye be able to live a luxurious life of eating one sausage and throwing one away?
In late November, the movie that Tiantian had starred in was taken off the theaters. Under the promotion of a group of stars such as Lu Wei and Song Xinxue, the box office barely exceeded one hundred million.
Compared to the New Year’s film that was released during the National Day holiday, it was really not enough. But Ye Jiabao, who liked to compete with Shen Tiantian in everything, was not very happy. The box office of the movie that Shen Tiantian had acted in was not high, but many movie explanations and entertainment marketing videos were praising Shen Tiantian.
A mean-mouthed account that liked to dig deep into the acting skills of various stars had even praised Shen Tiantian’s acting for the first time.
[Putting aside his looks, Shen Tiantian’s acting has given me a great surprise. In his previous historical drama, he had too few scenes, so I couldn’t see much, but in this movie, he has almost shown his spiritual energy to the fullest!]
[When he first went on a variety show, I was not optimistic about him. I thought he was like other second-generation stars and rich second generations, coming to the entertainment industry with a young master’s persona.]
[But the deaf and mute role he played in this drama directly made me abandon this idea.]
[I’ll bet a big one. As long as Shen Tiantian can maintain this acting level, he will definitely be nominated for the three major film awards when he grows up!]
Many passersby and netizens below also commented:
[I went to see it. He acted very well! It’s just that the movie’s content is indeed too heavy. Several of my friends said it was average after watching it.]
[In terms of acting alone, this little actor is indeed better than many traffic stars in the entertainment industry.]
[Tiantian is really so cute! I can’t get over his looks. I was staring at his face the whole time I was watching the movie!]
[I’ll also bet one. As long as he doesn’t grow up ugly, he will definitely be the next top-tier star!]
There were a lot of comments under the video.
Ye Jiabao was about to suffocate from watching it. He took a few deep breaths, but no matter what, he couldn’t suppress the jealousy that had accumulated for two lifetimes. The sourness even blurred Ye Jiabao’s vision, making his eyes show a terrifying scarlet red when he looked at the world.
He still didn’t believe it! In his previous life, Shen Tiantian had no special performance in acting at all. He was just a pretty face in the entertainment industry!
Ye Jiabao didn’t believe that he, who had been cultivating his acting skills since he was a child and had been accumulating fans, would still be no match for Shen Tiantian when he grew up!
The turmoil of the movie and the internet did not affect Shen Tiantian at all. His life was a straight line between home and school. Sometimes, if he watched too much cartoon, his time on the tablet would be deducted, and he had no idea what was happening outside.
Because Shen Tiantian was young, Zheng Wei had pushed aside ninety percent of his entertainment industry activities for him. But there was one that could not be pushed aside. Zheng Wei explained on the phone:
“This is a very important film award ceremony at the end of the year. The movie you acted in, although the box office is not good, it has been nominated for several awards.” This kind of film award was particularly fond of giving awards to this kind of art film.
“This event is a good opportunity to show your face. It just so happens that that day is a Saturday, so it won’t affect your classes.”
“I’ve already contacted the film crew. You can just walk the red carpet with the film crew then.”
Tiantian had never participated in such an important red carpet event! His excited little eyes lit up, and he nodded his head vigorously. “Okay, okay. I’ll walk the red carpet well!”
For this, Tiantian even went to his brother to apply for the use of the tablet to watch the red carpet videos of other stars. Shen Xiuze had just been transferred to a quiet department. He didn’t have to work overtime at night and came to the living room to watch with him.
Tiantian sat cross-legged on the carpet, his little neck craned, and he stared at the video without blinking. He would also let out “wow” and “so good-looking” sounds from time to time. Shen Xiuze, however, found it extremely boring. “What’s there to learn from this?” Isn’t it just a group of people walking around?
Tiantian was so impressed by some of the unfamiliar star brothers and sisters in the video that he couldn’t help but fantasize about himself walking on the red carpet. His little eyes lit up a little, and the whole cub was so happy that he covered his lips and giggled. “I’m so handsome!”
Shen Xiuze: “…Come back to your senses. You haven’t walked on the red carpet yet.”
Tiantian was immersed in his excitement and couldn’t extricate himself. He found a pair of round-toed black small leather shoes from his cabinet and put them on his feet, which were wearing cartoon fluffy socks. Then he walked around the living room, imitating the walking posture in the video.
“Big brother! Look at me. Don’t I look like a big star?!”
Shen Xiuze was bored and opened his work documents. He looked up and saw Shen Tiantian’s mismatched leather shoes and cartoon socks, and a laugh couldn’t help but escape from his lips. “Not really.”
Instead, he looked like a little brat who had secretly worn adult clothes.
Tiantian frowned, paced on the spot, and tried to figure out where the problem was. He ran to the mirror again and practiced several times. Finally, he nodded in satisfaction. “It’s handsome.”
It seems that his brother’s taste is problematic!
He looked in the mirror, and Tiantian practiced hard for several days. Every night, he would randomly pick a lucky audience to watch him walk the red carpet. Not to mention Shen Xiuze, he had plenty of time recently and had been watching Shen Tiantian walk on the carpet like a little penguin for three days in a row.
Every day, it was all kinds of small leather shoes with cartoon socks. As for Shen Jinfeng, he had his eyes closed and was constantly rubbing the bridge of his nose. He seemed to have a headache and didn’t want to open his eyes at all.
And Shen Yuanchuan was even more outrageous. As soon as Shen Tiantian walked towards him with a sweet smile, he would immediately take out his phone. “Hello? Alright, alright. I’ll deal with it right away.” Shen Yuanchuan had successfully dodged a bullet.
When he really couldn’t dodge it, Shen Yuanchuan would push Shen Jinfeng or Shen Xiuze out.
Sons are for this kind of thing.
In the anticipation of the whole family, the day of Shen Tiantian’s red carpet walk finally arrived. A very faint light came through the sky. The sun and the moon appeared in the same sky, and the air was filled with a chill that seeped into the bones.
Tiantian got up very early. He was wearing a light beige fleece-lined coat, a round hat, and a pair of gray small leather shoes with pom-poms, all dressed up. Zheng Wei came to the Shen family early in the morning to pick him up.
Seeing the little one’s fluffy and warm outfit, Zheng Wei’s features instantly softened. “In the morning, I’ll take you to do your makeup and styling. In the afternoon, before we walk the red carpet, there’s also a short interview.”
Tiantian nodded, his soft and sweet little face lifted, his eyes dark, bright, and round. “Okay, I’ll listen to big sister Zheng.”
Zheng Wei’s heart was so charmed that it trembled. She almost clutched her chest and fiercely rubbed Shen Tiantian’s face on the spot. Tiantian did not let his brother or his daddy go with him today. Instead, he carried a big white dog-style backpack, with his small water bottle hanging on his chest, and got into the car with nervousness.
Zheng Wei knew that it was the little one’s first time walking the red carpet and comforted him a few times. “You’ll get experience after a few more times. When you act more in the future, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to walk the red carpet.”
Tiantian took a deep breath. He puffed out his cheeks and then let it out with a poof. After inhaling and exhaling several times, Tiantian slowly adjusted his mentality. The group of them drove to a large building.
Zheng Wei had booked a very famous makeup artist team in the industry for him. A child didn’t need much makeup and styling. The main focus was on the clothes and the hairstyle. The makeup artist carefully looked at Shen Tiantian’s face for a long time.
“A child’s skin is tender. There’s no need for makeup. It will be counterproductive. But we can style his hair.”
Tonight, Shen Tiantian’s style had to match the others in the film crew. The clothes chosen were a pure white suit. The makeup artist had paired it with a round polka-dot bow tie and a small bear brooch. It perfectly highlighted the child’s childishness and cuteness.
The fine bangs on Tiantian’s forehead were also gently swept up, revealing his exquisite and dark features. His hair was fluffy, and the slightly longer ends were cut off, making the whole cub look particularly fresh and natural.
