Chapter 156
The afternoon autumn light was far less dazzling than in summer. It shone on people’s bodies, soft and gentle, making them sleepy. The dappled tree shadows swayed and fell in front of the elementary school classroom window.
In the afternoon class, the class teacher had a straight face and began to check the homework from front to back. After a chaotic morning of doing homework, most of the children’s homework books were filled.
Tiantian took out his two homework books and specially placed the arithmetic book at the bottom, hoping that the teacher would not look at it carefully. The teacher came over, gave Tiantian his new book, and then picked up his homework book.
The characters that Shen Tiantian had written were very large, without any sharp strokes, and were exceptionally round. Each character occupied most of the space in the grid, like a series of round and bulging large lanterns, conspicuous and cute.
The teacher flipped through it. The Chinese was very neat, and he couldn’t help but nod. “See, you can finish it, can’t you?”
Tiantian was a little afraid of this class teacher. His little back was straight, and he was so nervous that he didn’t dare to look at the teacher directly. His shrinking appearance was like a little chipmunk huddled in a hole. He only dared to secretly glance at the teacher with his little eyes.
“Ye… yes.”
For a good-looking child, the teacher would also be subconsciously a little biased. “Let me see how your arithmetic is. If you’ve finished it, you don’t have to call your parents today.”
Hearing this, Tiantian’s little eyes lit up, and his eyes were filled with a hopeful light. The other children in the class also tilted their heads and looked over.
The world of children was relatively simple. They had no special understanding of stars and didn’t know much about Tiantian’s identity as a little star. But children were more looks-supremacist than adults! The little girl in the front row had looked up at Tiantian several times in that short time, and once, she had even reached out her small hand, wanting to touch Shen Tiantian’s face.
But Shen Tiantian’s deskmate, this little boy, had slapped the girl’s hand away and glared at her. “This is my deskmate. Don’t touch him! What if you break him?” This made the little girl so wronged that her eye sockets were red.
While the teacher was flipping through Tiantian’s homework, the little girl turned her head again, smiled, and reached out her hand, successfully poking Shen Tiantian’s face. Tiantian was nervously staring at the teacher and didn’t even notice that his face had been poked.
On the contrary, Shen Tiantian’s little deskmate was so angry. The little boy directly slapped the table and stood up angrily. “Teacher, Xu Huiguo poked Tiantian’s face!”
The teacher, who was checking the homework, let out an “ah” and looked up with a slightly puzzled expression. Shen Tiantian was even more dazed. The teacher paused in checking the homework, saw the little girl crying with anger, comforted this one, and then scolded that one.
Fortunately, Shen Tiantian didn’t mind. He dazedly and considerately soothed the two little friends. “Don’t be angry. We’re all well-behaved little children. I’ll give you some small snacks to eat.”
Xu Huiguo and his deskmate, Li Size, took the small snacks that Tiantian had given them, and only then did they calm down. The teacher sighed. He didn’t check Shen Tiantian’s arithmetic problems in detail anymore and turned to flip through the next child’s homework.
Shen Tiantian, who had gotten away with it, saw this and slumped on his small chair. He wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh.
That was close. The teacher didn’t find out.
In fact, when Qin Ye was doing the math homework, he had imitated Tiantian’s handwriting, and it was big and round, enough to pass for the real thing. After a thrilling day of class, when Tiantian went home from school, he was so tired that his little feet couldn’t even swing.
Shen Jinfeng had no class today. He had recently become obsessed with motorcycle racing and had gone for a few laps, and only came back in the evening. “Shen Tiantian, take off your shoes before you get on the sofa.”
Tiantian let out a slow “oh,” took off his small shoes, and lay on the sofa like a little sloth, his little face pressed flat. Shen Jinfeng came over and looked at Shen Tiantian, who was slumped on the sofa like a small meat patty.
“What’s wrong with you?”
It’s just school. How did it suck all the energy out of the little one?
Tiantian just sighed and slowly sat up on his knees. “Elementary school is so hard.” He had to get up at seven in the morning for class and would only be dismissed at six in the afternoon.
Tiantian thought of the six years of elementary school he still had to go through, and a wave of sadness came over him. He wiped away the overflowing tears and said sadly: “Big brother, I want to go to kindergarten.”
Elementary school didn’t have a long lunch break, no morning and afternoon tea, and no teacher to lead the children to play games. It was not at all like the elementary school that Tiantian had imagined!
It’s not even as good as kindergarten!
Hearing this, Shen Jinfeng’s shoulders shook, and he couldn’t stop laughing. “Who was the little brat who was so smug yesterday, saying that going to elementary school was nothing and wouldn’t delay him from managing the company? What’s going on now? You’re giving up on the first day of school?”
Hearing his brother’s mocking laughter, Tiantian sadly pressed his little lips together and let out a heavy huff at him. “Tiantian is not playing the drum! I only play the piano!”
After Shen Tiantian finished his rebuttal, he climbed down from the sofa and ran upstairs in a huff, stepping on his slippers. After half an hour, Shen Jinfeng came in with a glass of milk.
“Oh, is the elementary school student going to start working hard now?”
Shen Tiantian sat at his desk, flipping through his newly issued textbook, his expression extremely serious. “Big brother, don’t disturb my reading! I will prove to everyone today that Tiantian is also very serious about going to elementary school!”
Shen Jinfeng put down the milk, and a smile overflowed from his eyes. “Alright, then I won’t disturb you.”
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Tiantian’s little ears twitched. He secretly turned his little face and glanced at the back like a thief. After confirming that his brother had left, Tiantian’s tense body relaxed.
He held his milk glass, swung his feet, and drank all the milk in one go. He still has to grow taller!
He pretended to study for almost an hour, and Tiantian even almost fell asleep in the middle. He wiped his saliva and went downstairs to eat in a daze. Shen Yuanchuan, who had been in a meeting all day, was in the living room, chatting with his assistant and Shen Xiuze about the company’s economic situation.
Seeing his little son run down in a daze, Shen Yuanchuan subconsciously looked over. “How was your first day of school? Are you still adapting?”
Tiantian puffed out his little chest and waved his small hand with a nonchalant air. “I’m adapting. Tiantian is doing well in school! You can rest assured, Daddy.”
The old father was very pleased. He was about to say a few words of encouragement when his phone rang. “Hello?” “Is this Tiantian’s daddy? I want to talk to you about Tiantian. As a child actor, Tiantian’s situation is a bit special, but he can’t not do his homework. You should pay more attention to the child’s studies in the future.”
The old father’s old face suddenly flushed. Tiantian didn’t hear what was being said on the other end. His eyes curved into little crescent moons, and he looked at his daddy with a sparkle. “Tiantian is so well-behaved. Daddy’s face is red with happiness.”
The assistant and Shen Xiuze, who were sitting on the side, had the corners of their mouths lift at the same time. Shen Xiuze’s originally furrowed brows softened, and a hint of a smile flowed from the corners of his eyes as he patted Shen Tiantian’s head.
“You little foolish egg. You’re still happy when you’re about to be beaten.”
Tiantian pouted unhappily and looked up. “Of course not. How could Tiantian be beaten?”
A minute later. Tiantian held his little bottom, rubbed his wet little eyes, his shoulders heaving, and he stood in the corner with his head against the wall, pitifully.
Shen Yuanchuan, after beating the little cub, held his forehead and sat down, angry. “You didn’t do any of your summer homework. You’ve really grown up, Shen Tiantian.”
Shen Tiantian sobbed a few times and retorted in a low voice. “I haven’t grown up. Tiantian doesn’t grow these strange things.”
Shen Yuanchuan glared at him. “Stand in the corner properly. You even told me this morning that you wouldn’t be late today and that the teacher wouldn’t call to criticize you. And then I received a call from the teacher.” He had no face to put anywhere.
Tiantian was so wronged that he leaned his head against the wall and obediently stood in the corner. He had only stood for two minutes when Shen Yuanchuan heard a small snoring sound from the corner.
Shen Yuanchuan looked up and saw Shen Tiantian leaning against the wall, sleeping more soundly than a little pig! Shen Xiuze saw this, lifted one side of his lips, and reached out to block Shen Yuanchuan.
“Tiantian was also busy during the summer vacation. Filming is not easy. It’s understandable that he didn’t do his homework this time. It’s too late. I’ll take him upstairs to sleep first.”
Shen Yuanchuan frowned and glanced at Shen Xiuze. “Alright, I know.”
Every time Shen Yuanchuan wanted to educate Shen Tiantian, it was either Shen Xiuze who jumped out to refute with reason, or Shen Jinfeng who would mock him. It made Shen Yuanchuan unable to do anything at all. He could only watch as this little brat was arrogant at home.
He was about to ride on his biological father’s head! The whole family was openly and secretly spoiling Shen Tiantian. Shen Yuanchuan let out a series of cold laughs.
Before going to bed at night, Shen Yuanchuan was thinking about the company’s current situation and calmly analyzing the personalities and abilities of his three sons. He thought about it again and again. In the end, Shen Yuanchuan still silently increased Shen Tiantian’s shares a little.
Forget it. I’ll give him a little more. Shen Tiantian is such a foolish little egg. It’s good for him to have some shares in the future.
The autumn night was lonely, and the morning wind was cool and refreshing. It came through the window and gently caressed the little cub’s face on the bed. Shen Tiantian sneezed from the cold, rubbed his head, and sat up in a daze.
His brain had not yet thought about who he was and where he was. He looked up and saw Shen Jinfeng open the door and walk in. “Eh, you’re so well-behaved today? You didn’t sleep in?”
Tiantian shook his head, which had a head of fluffy hair, and subconsciously lifted his little chin first. “That’s right. I’m a very well-behaved child.”
No matter what his brother was praising, he would admit it first!
Shen Jinfeng let out a “che.” “Maybe you just woke up in a daze and I happened to see you.” Shen Jinfeng, who had guessed the truth, came over and resignedly packed Shen Tiantian’s schoolbag.
“It’s really a hard life. I was born to clean up after you.” In the past, when he went to kindergarten, Shen Tiantian would either forget his water bottle or his stationery box. The most Shen Jinfeng had done was to run to the kindergarten three times a day to send him things.
From morning to night. For this, Shen Jinfeng had been forced to develop the good habit of packing Shen Tiantian’s schoolbag. Shen Tiantian was also very self-aware.
While his brother was working, he would obediently not go forward and leave his brother a quiet space to pack. He sat on the bed, and after his head was completely clear, Tiantian climbed down from the small bed and chose an outfit for school today.
Tiantian preened in front of the mirror, combed his hair that was always sticking up, and held his brother’s hand to go to school.
