The Long Aotian Cub Becomes the Pampered Darling of a Wealthy Family 38

Chapter 38

Shen Tiantian’s baby-fat cheeks were puffed out. He stomped his feet, almost blowing his mouth into a small balloon.

Hearing his brother guess wrong, he shook his head vigorously, waving his two small arms in the air, wishing he could transform into a stubborn fish.

Shen Xiuze found his anxious little appearance very amusing, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but lift.

Clearing his throat, Shen Xiuze stopped teasing him and said:

“Goldfish.”

Shen Tiantian let out a sharp breath. His little face was flushed, and a physiological tear even welled up in the corner of his eye, making it moist and bright.

“That’s right! It’s a goldfish!”

He had acted it out with so much effort!

The staff member at the side was waiting. Seeing that the question was answered correctly, he quickly went up to tell Shen Tiantian the next question.

Shen Xiuze discovered that Shen Tiantian really had some talent for acting.

Although the little one’s arms and legs were short, his expressions were very lively, especially his dark, moist, and bright eyes. When he looked over, it was as if he could directly convey his emotions.

For some of the questions about emotions, like crying or being happy, Shen Xiuze had guessed them almost the moment he saw Shen Tiantian’s eyes.

After all the questions were answered, as expected, Shen Tiantian’s group won.

Shen Tiantian received another small gem, carefully put it in his pocket, and patted his pocket in satisfaction.

Now he has two little gems.

Tiantian shook his little head, his whole body overflowing with a happy energy.

At the end of the recording, Shen Tiantian patted his brother’s arm, his little expression both cheeky and smug.

“Big brother, although you’re a little stupid, I… I won’t dislike you.”

For the sake of his brother accompanying him to the recording today, Tiantian wouldn’t hold it against him for guessing the questions wrong.

A question mark slowly appeared above Shen Xiuze’s forehead.

He smiled, the curve of his lips tinged with a chill. He went over, lifted the little one up, and ruffled his head hard.

“What did you say?”

He disliked him?

Shen Tiantian’s hairstyle was all messed up. He covered his head, his short little legs kicking in the air.

“Nothing, I didn’t say anything.”

Tiantian blinked his little eyes, pretending to be foolish.

Shen Xiuze’s lips curved, and his sharp, long, and narrow eyes twitched slightly. The original coldness was instantly washed away, leaving only a thick smile.

“Little fool.”

Shen Tiantian let out a soft hmph and secretly retorted in his heart.

He’s not a little fool.

He’s a smart egg, even smarter than his brother, hehe.

After the recording ended, Shen Tiantian and Shen Xiuze took a few promotional photos in front of a green screen and then went home by car.

As soon as he got into the car, Shen Tiantian tilted his little head and fell into a daze.

He slept so soundly that he didn’t even know when they got home. It was Shen Xiuze who carried him out of the car and put him back in his little bed in the bedroom.

Qin Ye was like a little tail, following closely behind Shen Xiuze, asking incessantly:

“Is Tiantian asleep? Did the other children bully him?”

Shen Xiuze saw Qin Ye circling around Shen Tiantian’s small bed like a little spinning top and inexplicably found him an eyesore.

If it were before, Shen Xiuze wouldn’t have paid any attention to Qin Ye.

He was just a relative who had come to seek refuge with Tiantian. The Shen family could afford to raise him. It was just a matter of adding another pair of chopsticks.

But at this moment, Shen Xiuze found the way Qin Ye was circling around Tiantian’s small bed very annoying.

“Go out first. Don’t disturb Tiantian’s sleep.”

Shen Xiuze said and was the first to walk out.

Qin Ye was not at ease. He poked Tiantian’s hot little bun face. The feel was still soft, and he couldn’t help but smile. He tiptoed out.

Shen Xiuze was waiting for him at the door. When he saw Qin Ye run out, his sharp eyes were mixed with a hint of coldness as he sized him up.

Qin Ye had a steady and calm demeanor that was not in line with his age.

If it wasn’t innate, then it was the result of a lot of effort in his upbringing.

Shen Xiuze said, “Qin Ye, I heard from Tiantian’s grandma that you were found?”

Qin Ye didn’t know why Shen Xiuze was bringing this up, but he still nodded.

“Yes, Grandpa Qin found me on the mountain.”

Shen Xiuze hummed indifferently, thought for a moment, and said:

“Shen Jinfeng asked a friend two days ago and said that the Qin family in Kyoto has a child with the same name as you who also went missing a while ago. Do you need me to ask for you?”

Both Shen brothers had extremely cold personalities. From the beginning, they had no intention of getting involved in helping Qin Ye find his family.

But Shen Xiuze didn’t know why he had suddenly changed his mind.

Qin Ye’s expression was stunned for a moment, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

He was happy that there was a lead in finding his family, but when he thought of his new good friend, Tiantian, he couldn’t help but hesitate.

He had thought that it would take a long, long time to find his family and was prepared to be Shen Tiantian’s little follower for a lifetime.

Qin Ye’s little mouth opened, but he didn’t answer immediately.

If he left, what would Tiantian do without a little follower?

But Shen Xiuze had already made the decision for him.

“I’ll call and ask this afternoon.”

After Shen Xiuze finished speaking, he ignored Qin Ye’s disappointed little expression and turned to leave.

After an afternoon nap, the sun was bright.

Shen Tiantian woke up in a golden, sparkling light. His lashes were shining in the light, and the fine hairs on his cheeks could be seen clearly at this moment.

He stretched. Before he could climb out of bed, he looked up and saw the dejected Qin Ye.

Shen Tiantian crawled to the side of the bed, tilted his little head to look at his little follower, and poked his cheek.

“What’s wrong with you? Did you cry, Yezi?”

Qin Ye shook his head. Although his eye sockets were a little sore, he hadn’t cried.

“No. Are we still playing with building blocks this afternoon, Tiantian?”

Qin Ye decided not to think about those things for now.

Maybe he wasn’t the little son that the Qin family had lost?

Shen Tiantian, on the other hand, scratched his chin, hummed, and shook his head.

“No, Auntie Mu-Mu said I have class this afternoon.”

Two days ago, Shen Xiuze had already communicated with several teachers and confirmed the several tutoring classes that Shen Tiantian would be taking.

The little one’s talent was in art. After comprehensive consideration, Shen Xiuze decided to focus on the piano, with the others being secondary.

This afternoon, Shen Tiantian would officially start his piano lessons.

The piano teacher was the same gentle and fashionable female teacher from before, with golden, fluffy curly hair and long, black eyeliner at the corners of her eyes. If it weren’t for the wrinkles that appeared when she smiled, it would be hard to tell that she was already in her forties or fifties.

In the first lesson, the teacher didn’t start teaching knowledge directly but taught Shen Tiantian the correct sitting posture and hand shape.

The piano teacher’s hands were slender and beautiful, like scallion whites. In contrast, Shen Tiantian’s five little fingers were short and chubby, with five small, round dimples on the back of his hand.

Shen Tiantian looked at his own hands, then at the teacher’s hands.

He giggled and shyly swung his little feet.

“Teacher, my hands are short.”

The teacher covered her mouth and laughed, ruffling the little one’s head and saying it was okay.

“When Tiantian grows up, they will also be very beautiful.”

Qin Ye, on the side, also pressed his lips into a smile, his eyes curving, a hint of light in his light gray pupils.

Qin Ye really liked to follow Tiantian around.

Following a small cluster of light, it was as if he could also be illuminated by the light.

After teaching Tiantian, the teacher played a very simple “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” to help Tiantian build a perception of piano music.

After the performance, Shen Tiantian excitedly clapped his hands on the side.

Qin Ye also clapped along. He looked up and heard the teacher say:

“Does Qin Ye want to try too?”

Qin Ye was stunned for a moment, turned his head to see Shen Tiantian’s sparkling eyes looking over, and nodded lightly.

Although he had forgotten many things after hitting his head, when Qin Ye sat on the piano bench, the muscle memory in his fingers allowed him to play the piece very smoothly.

The teacher was slightly surprised and couldn’t help but say:

“Has Qin Ye learned before?”

Qin Ye sat on the bench and glanced at Tiantian’s shocked and adoring little eyes. He pressed his lips together, but the corners of his mouth still couldn’t help but lift.

“I probably have.”

Qin Ye only had a few scattered learning fragments in his mind and couldn’t be sure if he had learned the piano before.

But Tiantian was still shocked and let out a “wow.” He turned his little face and asked:

“Teacher, is Yezi… a little genius?”

The teacher was very gentle. She touched the little one’s head and didn’t answer directly.

“Whether he’s a little genius or not, Qin Ye plays very well. If Tiantian studies hard in the future, he will also play very well.”

Tiantian hummed in acknowledgment and began to look forward to sitting on the piano bench and playing a smooth and perfect piano piece.

It would directly stun his two brothers and his father!

At that time, his father would definitely be surprised at how amazing he was, touch his head, and announce on the spot that he would hand over the company to him!

Tiantian would naturally become the most outstanding little president.

Hehe.

Thinking this, Tiantian secretly laughed for a while.

Following the piano teacher, Tiantian stumbled through learning to play the piano for several days.

During this period, Shen Xiuze and Shen Jinfeng would come back from time to time, but Shen Yuanchuan seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, not showing his face for three or four days.

It wasn’t until the official content of the first episode of the variety show was released that Shen Yuanchuan finally showed up.

At this time, Shen Tiantian was sitting on the sofa in the living room, asking the butler uncle to turn on the TV, and was waiting in front of it to watch his first episode of the variety show.

The animated opening theme was cheerful and light. Each little cub had their own animated image, running and jumping around on the screen.

Shen Tiantian was holding a bag of potato chips, staring at the opening of the variety show without blinking, trying to identify which animated little cub was him.

Shen Yuanchuan walked in, handed his coat to Zhou Shu, and saw his little son staring at the TV, completely ignoring his existence. He couldn’t help but cough heavily.

Shen Tiantian still didn’t react and just took out some potato chips with his small hand and started to eat them with a crunch.

Shen Jinfeng, who had seen Shen Yuanchuan long ago, had a smile on his lips, but a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Shen Jinfeng had no intention of reminding him and just quietly watched as Shen Yuanchuan tried to attract the little one’s attention.

Shen Yuanchuan coughed again, his throat hoarse, but he still couldn’t call back the little one who was engrossed in the variety show.

“Tiantian.”

In the end, Shen Yuanchuan had no choice but to call him.

Tiantian blinked his eyes, and his action of eating potato chips paused. He asked his brother Shen Jinfeng, who was sitting next to him:

“Big brother, did someone call me?”

Shen Yuanchuan was helpless. He sighed and spoke again:

“You’ll see me if you turn around.”

Only then did Shen Tiantian turn his little face and look back.

This look was a big deal. It scared Shen Tiantian so much that he jumped off the sofa, his eyes as wide as little copper bells.

“Big brother, Daddy has been resurrected!”

Shen Yuanchuan: “???”

Wait, when did he die?

Shen Jinfeng laughed without giving him any face, his laughter joyful, the corners of his eyes slightly lifted, completely disregarding the thin father-son relationship.
