Chapter 82
The snowflakes quickly melted into water on the ground. When the sky was slightly bright, a gust of wind blew, and the snowflakes gradually turned into rain, dripping on the ground.
The whole world was filled with the clear and cold smell of snow water.
Because Shen Yuanchuan and the others were all woken up by Shen Tiantian in the middle of the night to see the snow, they all had a throbbing headache when they woke up the next morning.
Shen Jinfeng woke up the earliest. He had an exam today and didn’t even have time to eat breakfast. He wrapped himself in a scarf, held an umbrella, and walked out of the rainy world.
Shen Xiuze and Shen Yuanchuan had to go to the company to clock in. They simply ate a bun and left by car.
The only one who didn’t have to go to school or work, Shen Tiantian, was wrapped in a small quilt, lying on his small bed, his little feet kicking out of the quilt, his face warm from sleep.
Around ten o’clock, Auntie Mu reported Shen Tiantian’s situation to Shen Yuanchuan and sent a picture of Tiantian sleeping soundly.
Shen Yuanchuan looked at the picture of the little tyke sleeping so soundly, beckoned, and let Shen Xiuze come over.
“Look at your little brother. The whole family was harassed by him in the middle of the night, and he’s sleeping like a little pig during the day.”
Shen Xiuze turned his head to look at the picture. The whole picture became fluffy because of Shen Tiantian’s presence, and his heart couldn’t help but soften.
“Tiantian is very cute.”
Shen Xiuze said from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Yuanchuan, who had never thought that his eldest son had a fetish for cute things, just thought that he was speaking up for Shen Tiantian.
“That’s his only advantage. He can eat, drink, and sleep. If he wasn’t a little cuter, he would be no different from a little pig.”
Shen Xiuze didn’t say anything else, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, and after putting down the documents, he turned and left.
Shen Tiantian woke up from a long sleep and found that he had missed breakfast again. He yawned, with his pajama hood on his head, and ate two small snacks and fruits to fill his stomach.
He let out an “ai” and took a bite of the mung bean cake, saying indistinctly:
“Big brother and Daddy will definitely buy me a gift today.”
Their obedient and cute little brother/son had missed a very important breakfast to call them up to see the snow.
It’s time to give Tiantian a small gift as compensation.
Thinking this, Shen Tiantian ran to the butler uncle to apply for the use of the tablet.
He was usually very strictly managed by the butler uncle and was not allowed to have a phone or a tablet. If he wanted to use them, he had to apply to the butler uncle or his daddy and brothers.
Fortunately, Shen Tiantian didn’t like to play with electronic products much. He only used them for a while occasionally to watch his variety show clips online.
The butler uncle took out the tablet and asked:
“Do you want to watch the variety show clips edited by the netizens? I’ll search for them for Tiantian to watch.”
Tiantian was a rather narcissistic little friend. Even if he couldn’t understand the praises from the fans in the comments, he could still giggle just by watching the video clips on the tablet.
“No, Butler Uncle. I want to pick a gift.”
Tiantian was afraid that he wouldn’t like the gifts his brother and his daddy bought, so he prepared to pick them in advance and send them over.
There was nothing he could do. He was just such a considerate little baby.
The butler uncle felt that the reason was very justified and approved Tiantian’s application to use the tablet.
Tiantian bounced and held the tablet back to the living room, sat cross-legged on the carpet, and began to scroll through the shopping website’s interface.
After flipping through for a long time, the greedy little cat was finally attracted by various small snacks.
Tiantian chose the three snack pictures that looked the biggest and most numerous and sent them to his daddy and his brother one by one.
He couldn’t type, so he could only hold the tablet, press the voice button, and say in a milky voice:
“Big brother, I just want this gift~”
He sent the same message three times.
The fastest to reply was Shen Jinfeng, who had just finished his exam.
He sent a huge emoji question mark.
Then, he sent a text message: [What’s up? Are you trying to get money from me?]
Shen Jinfeng then remembered that Shen Tiantian couldn’t read at all. The text message was quickly retracted, and he sent the same message again in a voice message.
After listening, Shen Tiantian’s little brows furrowed deeply. He unhappily opened the video call and called his brother.
Shen Jinfeng had just come out of the examination room, with a backpack on his shoulder, an umbrella in one hand to block the drizzling rain, and a phone in the other, his brows furrowed.
“What’s wrong? I’m not buying it for you.”
His tone was mixed with the cold and clear rain, and his voice was a little distorted at this moment.
As soon as Shen Tiantian heard this, his little belly puffed up, and he angrily smashed his small fist on the tablet.
“You should thank Tiantian. Otherwise, how could you have seen such beautiful snowflakes? This is a thank-you gift for a good little baby!”
As soon as Shen Jinfeng thought of last night’s events, his head couldn’t help but throb with pain.
“You still have the nerve to say that! Which good child wakes people up in the middle of the night by falling on them like a free-falling object?!”
He had almost been killed by Shen Jinfeng on the spot.
“I still have a red mark on my shoulder from being hit by you, and you still want snacks? No way.”
Hearing his brother mention this, Tiantian picked at his small hands, feeling a little guilty.
But he never dwelled on it and quickly argued:
“But isn’t it Tiantian’s credit that you saw the snowflakes at night?”
He muttered, pouting unhappily:
“Other children wouldn’t care if you see the snowflakes or not. Only the good Tiantian would think of you and miss you.”
Shen Jinfeng listened to him praise himself in various ways and almost gave him a thumbs-up.
“Awesome!”
He had rendered Shen Jinfeng speechless, as if it were his fault for not buying him a snack to thank him.
Tiantian’s little tuft of hair was swaying happily. He shook his head and hummed twice.
“That’s right. I’m very amazing. Don’t forget to buy it, big brother!”
After saying this, the butler uncle came over and reminded him:
“There are still ten minutes left for the tablet.”
Tiantian hurriedly hung up the phone with his brother, not even saying a considerate goodbye, for fear that his brother would waste his time on the tablet.
For the remaining ten minutes, Tiantian watched a few variety show clips and then the tablet was taken away.
However, he had conveyed his intention to buy small snacks very well. He sat at home, eagerly waiting for today’s small snack gift bag.
At noon, the rain finally stopped.
The ground was wet, and a biting cold filled the air, making people shrink their necks from the cold when they went out.
Shen Tiantian was wearing a pair of snow boots, standing at the door with his hands tucked in, looking at the wet lawn, and couldn’t help but sigh.
The butler uncle said that the weather was too cold. If he dared to go out and jump in the puddles, his only after-dinner dessert tonight would be canceled.
Today’s little dessert was the chef uncle’s specialty, double-skin milk.
But Shen Tiantian still couldn’t suppress the urge to bounce and jump in the puddles. He was eager to move and was constantly observing the movements of the butler uncle and Auntie Mu.
Seeing that the two of them had temporarily returned to the house because of a problem with the refrigerator, Shen Tiantian was like a little chick that had just been let out of its nest. He looked left and right, his little eyes darting around a few times, and then he quickly stuck out his little foot.
The moment his little foot landed in the puddle, Shen Jinfeng’s voice came from a distance.
“Shen Tiantian? Don’t step in the puddles!”
Shen Jinfeng had seen Shen Tiantian standing under the eaves from a distance.
Seeing him stick out his foot, he knew what this little brat was up to without even guessing.
Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and Shen Tiantian pretended not to hear. In the end, he still stepped his little foot into the puddle.
Shen Tiantian’s eyes lit up. He covered his mouth and giggled secretly, as if stepping in a puddle under the watchful eyes of his parents was the most fun thing in the world.
Shen Jinfeng took three steps at a time and walked under the eaves.
He quickly reached out and caught this child who had stepped in a puddle and was trying to get away with it by being cute.
Shen Tiantian looked up, his round eyes looking at his brother obediently, his voice sweet, so soft and sweet that it didn’t seem to belong to this cold winter.
“Big brother, why are you back so early?”
Shen Jinfeng let out a cold hmph, took Shen Tiantian, who was splashed with snow water from stepping in the puddle, and directly sent him to the butler uncle.
“Uncle Zhou, look at this.”
The butler uncle had just solved the problem with the refrigerator. He turned his head and saw Shen Tiantian’s shrinking little appearance. What else was there to be unclear about?
“I knew I couldn’t keep an eye on you. Tonight’s dessert is canceled. You can’t eat it.”
This time, Shen Tiantian was completely honest.
Tiantian was desperate and wronged. He lost most of his strength, his hands and feet hanging down, and he sighed.
He was carried upstairs by Shen Jinfeng and had his hair and muddy face wiped frantically with a large towel.
After being wiped clean, Shen Tiantian was as dazed and messy as a spiky little chick. He was wearing a clean, single-layer fleece-lined pajama and sat on the bed with a plop.
His head was hurting from being wiped. Shen Tiantian took a breath and couldn’t help but touch his head.
“Big brother, my head hurts.”
Shen Jinfeng looked at Shen Tiantian’s unique spiky hairstyle, suppressed a laugh, and coughed.
“It’s fine, it’s normal. It’s cold outside now. It’s easy to get a headache when it’s suddenly cold and suddenly hot.”
At this moment, Shen Tiantian’s brain was a little slow. He said “oh” and nodded in belief.
“Big brother, where’s my snack gift? Why didn’t you bring it back?”
Shen Jinfeng threw the towel into the dirty clothes basket, let out a “heh,” and poked Shen Tiantian’s head.
“You sent me a screenshot from online shopping. When you buy things online, it’s not same-day delivery. It will take at least a day or two to arrive.”
Shen Tiantian had never shopped online before. Of course, the biggest reason was that he had no money.
The tens of thousands of yuan he had earned as a child actor had been entrusted to the butler uncle a few days ago to be exchanged for various household appliances and sent to his grandma.
The one hundred yuan from selling the small bread had also been temporarily taken away by Shen Xiuze for some reason.
Now, Tiantian’s hands were empty, and his pockets were cleaner than his face.
The little poor ghost, Tiantian, said “oh,” stood up from the bed, barely reaching his brother’s shoulder, and reached out his small hand to give his brother a back massage.
“Thank you, big brother. I’ll call you up to see the snowflakes again next time.”
Shen Jinfeng quickly refused, reached out to poke Shen Tiantian’s head, and pushed him away.
“Don’t. Don’t ever call me!”
He really didn’t want to be smashed by a little pig in his sleep. It hurt so much.
The thick clouds covered the entire sky. The transition from day to night seemed to happen in an instant, and the day had already turned into night.
Unbeknownst to Shen Tiantian, the first TV series he had acted in had quietly started broadcasting.
Perhaps because it was a serious drama, the promotion of the entire production team was very weak.
Only a few of the young celebrities in the drama had posted on Weibo to attract traffic, and then there was no more splash.
Shen Tiantian’s Weibo account was still in Shen Jinfeng’s hands.
Shen Jinfeng helped Tiantian post a promotional Weibo post, frowned at the dismal data traffic of the TV series, and couldn’t help but sigh softly.
It seemed that this was an even bigger loss than his investment in the variety show.
But after all, Shen Jinfeng was not the producer of this drama, and his studio was not an entertainment company. He couldn’t cooperate with the film crew for drama promotion and could only temporarily put the matter to the back of his mind.
But unexpectedly, in just a few days, the reputation of this drama had fermented to an incredible degree.
