Chapter 58
Shen Xiuze was wearing sportswear. The ice and snow in his dark brows and eyes seemed to have melted in an instant, and a wisp of warmth floated into his eyes, his smile thick.
“Your second brother didn’t sleep all night yesterday. Although he’s alive, it’s no different from being dead.”
Although Shen Jinfeng was usually mean-mouthed, when Shen Xiuze started to mock, he was no less.
Shen Jinfeng’s leg was hurting from being bumped by the little one. He closed his eyes, his expression slightly ferocious as he dragged his leg into the room.
“I’m not going to die. Your little body can’t kill me in a short while. I’m completely fine.”
Shen Xiuze glanced at Shen Jinfeng’s grimacing expression and let out a cold scoff.
His mouth is as hard as a duck’s.
Shen Tiantian was wearing a pink and white rabbit pajama, the round ball tail on his little bottom wiggling. He pattered his little legs and circled around Shen Jinfeng.
“Really?”
He tilted his little face up, held onto Shen Jinfeng’s leg, and seemed to want to see if his second brother was lying.
Shen Jinfeng felt that he was really sick.
He couldn’t sleep at night and drove for several hours to get here. Was he crazy?
“Stop wandering around in front of me. I’m fine.” Shen Jinfeng sighed helplessly.
Shen Jinfeng pinched the nose of Shen Tiantian, who was trying to climb up his leg, lifted him up, and placed him a little further away.
He didn’t want to see Shen Tiantian right now. Just looking at him made his leg hurt.
But Shen Tiantian was like an automatic treasure-hunting mouse. As soon as his little feet touched the ground, he pattered towards his target, Shen Jinfeng.
Shen Jinfeng hadn’t slept all night, and his brain was a little slow. He reached out again, lifted Shen Tiantian, and placed him aside.
Shen “Treasure-Hunting Mouse” Tiantian ran back again, Shen Jinfeng threw him again, Tiantian ran again…
The two of them were in a stalemate for a while. Shen Jinfeng’s outstretched hand suddenly froze in mid-air, and he suddenly reacted.
What is he doing?
This is too childish.
Shen Jinfeng slapped his forehead and fell silent with a sigh.
Shen Xiuze, who was rehydrating on the side, looked up and let out a cold scoff, it was unclear who he was talking about:
“So stupid.”
Shen Tiantian nodded his head vigorously, his little face beaming with a colorful joy. He bounced over like a little frog and pointed at his second brother.
“Second brother is stupid today.”
Shen Jinfeng was helpless. He was about to speak when he saw Shen Tiantian climb onto the sofa and sit next to him.
Shen Tiantian brought his little face closer, and his soft little baby fat pressed against Shen Jinfeng’s neck. A fruity scent mixed with a sweet fragrance wafted over, and he even tugged on Shen Jinfeng’s ear with his small hand.
“Big brother, you’re so silly. You can’t fight with me for the company.”
How can a little fool inherit the company?
Shen Jinfeng: “…Get lost.”
Shen Tiantian looked at his angry second brother, quickly jumped down, and muttered.
“Grumpy second brother.”
He huffed and, still a little angry, put his hands on his hips.
“It must be second brother who stole my little wooden fish and little Taoist robe today.”
Shen Jinfeng thought that this morning, not only had he been diagnosed with being alive but barely and having a brain problem, but now he was also being accused of being a thief.
He rolled up his sleeves, took a deep breath, and wished he could give Shen Tiantian’s little head a good whack.
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Shen Xiuze came out with a change of clothes, his eyes cold and stern as he glanced at the two of them.
“Shen Jinfeng, hurry up and go to sleep. Don’t make me say it a second time.”
As soon as Shen Xiuze’s face turned cold, the aura of a superior on him became particularly strong. His features were handsome and cold, and it made people not even dare to breathe.
Shen Tiantian was about to poke his head out and stick his tongue out at his second brother when he was caught by the scruff of his neck by Shen Xiuze and had his little head tapped.
“Tiantian, stop messing around. Let your second brother rest, or he’ll really kill himself from exhaustion.”
Shen Tiantian was very good at judging the situation. He secretly glanced at his big brother’s face, his eyes curved, and he obediently nodded, his eyes sparkling like a sea of silver.
“Okay, I’m a good little baby. I won’t make second brother angry.”
Shen Jinfeng looked at Shen Tiantian’s obedient and soft little appearance, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
But inexplicably, after being messed with by Shen Tiantian, the irritability in Shen Jinfeng’s heart had dissipated a lot.
Waves of sleepiness washed over him. Shen Jinfeng directly borrowed Shen Tiantian’s bed and lay down to sleep.
The day was bright.
The sun had risen to its highest point, and golden red light scattered across the land, but it still couldn’t save the severe cold of winter.
Shen Jinfeng woke up from a long sleep. He opened his eyes and saw Shen Tiantian sitting on the side of the bed, his small hand pressing a calculator.
The mechanical female voice of the calculator echoed in the bedroom:
[One thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.]
Although Shen Jinfeng had slept, his head still had a throbbing pain from staying up all night. His temples were throbbing, and he struggled to sit up.
Shen Tiantian saw his second brother sit up and pressed the number again.
[One thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.]
Shen Jinfeng leaned against the bed, confused. He looked at the little cub who was looking up at him with expectant eyes and said, puzzled:
“What are you randomly pressing? Have you started to learn four-digit addition and subtraction with your teacher recently?”
Shen Tiantian didn’t say anything and just kept pressing the calculator.
After pressing for a long time and seeing that his stupid second brother still couldn’t react, Tiantian had to sigh and let out an “ai.”
“Big brother, you slept in my bed. To let you sleep well, I was good all morning and didn’t disturb you.”
Shen Jinfeng said “oh” and said:
“Then… thank you?”
Shen Tiantian giggled, looked up with his little face, pressed the number again, and said obediently:
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome. Big brother, you can give me the bed fee.”
Shen Tiantian rubbed his little hands, giggled, shook the little tuft of hair on his head, and looked at Shen Jinfeng with eager anticipation.
Shen Jinfeng was both angry and amused. He slapped the little hand that was held out, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed.
“No.”
Asking his brother for a bed fee. Only this little cub could think of that.
And, “You’re charging one thousand nine for your bed fee? Shen Tiantian, you’re a lion with a big mouth!”
This hotel was invested in by the Shen family, so they didn’t have to pay for the room at all.
And Shen Jinfeng remembered that this suite, at the normal price, only cost nine hundred and ninety-nine a day.
“What’s with the extra thousand? You’re a middleman making a profit, aren’t you?” Shen Jinfeng said angrily.
Shen Tiantian huffed twice, unhappily jumped off the bed, craned his little neck, and was righteous.
“I already said it. I was good all morning and didn’t disturb you. This is the tip that big brother should give to a good baby!”
Shen Jinfeng almost reached out to smash Shen Tiantian’s head.
“I’m giving you a tip? Am I that full and have nothing better to do? Or do I have too much money and nowhere to spend it?”
The tip is more expensive than the room fee. Even the best baby is not worth it!
Shen Tiantian ran fast and was not caught by Shen Jinfeng. He ran outside in a huff.
He didn’t get the tip, and he didn’t even get the room fee!
Second brother is so annoying.
Shen Tiantian puffed out his little cheeks and secretly made a note of it in his heart.
Now, not only did his second brother owe him a set of riding clothes, but he also owed him five thousand yuan in room fees!
After secretly raising the price for his second brother, Shen Tiantian was happy again after settling this account. He bounced and took the elevator downstairs with the butler uncle to the film crew.
At this moment, the film crew was busy setting up the scene for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
A big scene was going to be filmed here tonight, and it was also Shen Tiantian’s final scene in this drama.
Lin Chen’an was so busy he couldn’t even touch the ground, running around and directing.
As it got dark, Lin Chen’an’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Shen Tiantian, who had already changed his clothes and was standing in a corner. He smiled and said:
“Hey, our little star Tiantian is here.”
Shen Tiantian was facing the wall, silently memorizing his lines. Hearing Director Lin’s words, he turned his little face, his ears red.
“What little star.”
Although he didn’t admit it, the corners of Shen Tiantian’s mouth lifted, and the little tuft of hair on his head also swayed happily with its owner.
Lin Chen’an laughed out loud and ruffled the little one’s fluffy hair.
“You went to someone else’s film crew to be an extra yesterday and even got on the trending topics. I also watched your live stream. It was quite interesting.”
Lin Chen’an had a broad and optimistic personality and didn’t mind that Shen Tiantian was working as an extra.
Many of the small roles in the film crew were played by actors who were running around in various film crews, on the one hand to make a living, and on the other hand to increase their exposure.
However, “Next time Tiantian is on the trending topics, you should also mention our film crew’s name.”
Traffic, no one minds having more.
Shen Tiantian nodded, wearing his little prince robe, tucked his little hands in, and asked:
“Director uncle, when am I filming?”
Lin Chen’an looked at the arrangement of the scene, rubbed his chin, and said:
“Soon. This scene is very important, and the scene can’t be wasted. We have to film several important nodes together.”
It was a big night scene, and it was estimated that it wouldn’t be over until the latter half of the night.
As he spoke, he looked at the little one’s soft and tender little face, which was like a freshly baked, fluffy little cake. If you pinched it, you could even smell the fragrance.
In the end, he was still partial to this little cake… no, Shen Tiantian. Lin Chen’an thought for a moment and said:
“I’ll move your scene forward later. Have you memorized your lines?”
He couldn’t bear to see the little one freezing here at night. After asking a few questions, Lin Chen’an turned his head and called for the camera crew and props team to start work.
“Adjust the sound equipment, ministers remember your positions, and we’ll start with the little prince’s scene first.”
Everyone acknowledged and busily got to work.
Shen Tiantian also mixed in, walked around here and there, helped the maid’s older sister carry a vase, ran a couple of steps there, and held a wine pot and handed it to the actor playing the emperor.
By the time everyone was ready, Shen Tiantian’s forehead was also covered in sweat.
He was so tired.
Lin Chen’an sat behind the camera, couldn’t help but laugh, and said with a suppressed smile:
“Tiantian, go back to your position. We’re starting.”
The little prince, Tiantian, quickly found his seat and sat there with his head down obediently.
Mid-Autumn Festival, the lights were just lit.
Outside the palace, the candlelight flickered slightly, and the slender and graceful figures of the maids could be seen through the candlelight, swaying gently like water waves.
The emperor sat on a high platform, and the tassels of his crown swayed gently, covering the expression in his eyes.
He was the emperor of a dynasty in its last years, who liked extravagance and luxury, and favored treacherous and sycophantic people. There was no integrity in the court or the harem.
But at the banquet, it was all sycophants. The other ministers and concubines did not dare to speak up.
Because of his status, the little prince sat in a corner of the banquet.
He had just had a serious illness in early spring and had not recovered by summer. There was not a trace of blood on his fair little face, and his lips were still pale.
Looking at his father on the dragon throne, the little prince heard the shouts of “long live” like a tsunami, and his heart was deeply touched.
Especially in the next moment, a minister who was upright and dared to speak frankly stood up and listed the emperor’s mistakes as a ruler.
But the emperor just laughed, his expression disdainful, and with a wave of his hand, he had him dragged away.
There was not even the process of being sent to prison. He was dragged out and killed outside the palace.
Deep red blood slowly spread on the steps.
The little prince was shocked and terrified. For the first time, he had a clear perception of the corruption of this dynasty and also developed an incomparable desire for power.
He wanted to live, to sit in a position that people looked up to.
