Chapter 92
Tiantian sat on the stone pier, lazily stretching, like a little cat about to be melted by the sun.
His full little belly was very round, and through his thick clothes, it puffed out into a full arc.
Shen Jinfeng reached out his hand, his movements light as he rubbed the little one’s belly for a while.
It felt like kneading a fluffy dough.
It was similar to the feel of kneading dough in the morning.
Shen Tiantian was very comfortable being rubbed. He squinted his little eyes and commanded:
“Rub the left side too. It’s not comfortable there either.”
Shen Jinfeng’s teeth itched, and he really wanted to knock the little brat’s head.
He let out a cold hmph. Seeing that Shen Tiantian was indeed uncomfortable from being too full, he didn’t argue with the little brat.
After rubbing his belly, Shen Jinfeng took Shen Tiantian for a walk on the street to digest his food and also bought some specialty small gifts.
When they were almost rested, the afternoon recording began.
The director held a small megaphone, deliberately bent down, and stared at the several children.
“Whose little eyes are not looking at the director yet?”
Shen Tiantian, who was dozing off, suddenly jolted, startled. His eyes widened, and he quickly looked up at the director in front of him.
The director said “oh” and deliberately cued Tiantian:
“Alright, I caught you! Tiantian fell asleep and didn’t look at the director, and didn’t listen to me either!”
Tiantian shook his head, waved his small hands vigorously, his voice soft:
“No, I was dreaming of the director’s voice just now.”
He didn’t miss a single word of what the director was saying.
The director was amused and didn’t deliberately hold on to Tiantian. He said with a smile:
“Alright then. Since Tiantian also listened seriously, I’ll explain the activity for a while.”
“After a morning of hard work, I believe everyone has a new understanding of the word ‘craftsman.’ We won’t waste any more time. In the afternoon, we will help the master craftsmen set up their stalls and sell things!”
“The group that sells the most and has the highest turnover will win this event!”
“Little friends, hurry up and set off!”
After the director finished speaking, the guests dispersed.
Tiantian followed the old master back to the small stall at the entrance and prepared to sell the small dough figurines he had made.
The old master leisurely sat back in his rocking chair, drank hot tea, and seemed not in a hurry at all, waiting for the customers to come to him.
Tiantian had long since taken a fancy to the master’s rocking chair. He ran to the master’s side on his little steps and said softly:
“Master, do you think Tiantian is heavy?”
The master glanced at the little one, estimated his weight, and said:
“It’s okay. He’s round and plump, so he can’t be that light.”
Tiantian lay next to him, his eyes bright and beautiful, and he smiled like a beautiful little fox.
“Master, I’m not heavy, and I don’t take up much space. Can I lie on the chair with you?”
After beating around the bush for so long, this is what he was waiting for.
The master laughed out loud, thinking that this little tyke was quite interesting.
He was also a little bored from lying down, so he simply stood up and gave the rocking chair to Shen Tiantian.
“Come and lie down for a while. It’s just a little cold today.”
Tiantian didn’t feel cold. He hadn’t woken up when he went out this morning, and it was Auntie Mu and Shen Jinfeng who had helped him get dressed.
Auntie Mu was afraid of Tiantian getting cold, so she had put on a thermal shirt, a sweater, a thick coat, a hat, and gloves for him, layer after layer. When he went to the bathroom, he couldn’t even take off his pants.
Shen Tiantian lay down as he wished. He was a little fat ball, and when he moved, the rocking chair would sway slightly.
This made Tiantian very happy. He closed his eyes and was just short of letting out a small snore.
Shen Jinfeng was afraid that he would catch a cold if he fell asleep and quickly woke him up.
At this time, the director popped out from somewhere, bent down, and appeared directly above Shen Tiantian.
Tiantian, who was lying down, opened his eyes, and instead of a beautiful blue sky and white clouds, it was the director’s ugly big face.
“Ah!”
Tiantian was so scared that he rolled over and almost fell off the rocking chair. Fortunately, Shen Jinfeng, on the side, held him and didn’t let him kneel on the ground.
“Director uncle, can you not just pop out and scare children?”
Shen Tiantian stood up, patted his pants, and glared.
The director chuckled, looked at this little friend who was being lazy but was still righteous, and poked his forehead twice.
“The other children are all seriously helping to sell things. Why are you almost asleep?”
Tiantian was like a deflating little balloon and quickly deflated.
“I… I wasn’t sleeping. I was just thinking of a way.”
He picked at his small hands, his eyes darting around. He secretly glanced at the director, then quickly looked away and ran to the master’s side.
“Master, master, I’m here to help you sell things!”
The director saw the little one get into the state of selling things, laughed and shook his head, and turned to inspect the other groups.
The master’s stall was not big. The table was only a little over a meter long when opened, square, and the bottom was covered with a special material on which the small dough figurines could be stuck.
In the afternoon, the weather was sunny, and large patches of white clouds were piled up in the sky, with a few scattered beams of light from the clouds.
The atmosphere of the ancient city street became more and more lively, and young people who couldn’t get up early also appeared in pairs and groups.
Some of the older brothers and sisters who were fast at surfing the internet, as soon as they walked into the street, they saw this small stall in the corner.
“Hey, you look a bit like a star.”
An older sister pulled her little sister’s hand, ran over, and looked at the red-lipped, white-toothed Shen Tiantian for a while, her tone a little excited.
“You really do! It’s the little prince who’s been very popular recently!”
“Is it that very popular historical drama? I haven’t had time to watch it yet.”
The hidden cameraman was in the crowd, fixed in a corner, and filmed this scene.
After a while, a few others who were obsessed with the drama also gathered around.
“Holy crap! I met a star!”
“He looks like the little prince! What is he doing? Filming?”
“Ahhh, it really is! I love this character so much!”
In the highly developed modern society of information, variety shows and TV series were endless, and Shen Tiantian’s variety show was far from reaching the level of a national hit.
But the drama that Shen Tiantian had acted in was now very popular.
Even if you hadn’t seen this drama, you would have been bombarded by various short videos or posts on Little Red Book, and you would have heard of it more or less.
Now, seeing Shen Tiantian, who played the male lead as a child, appear, the onlookers were extremely excited and asked him if he was the child actor who played the little prince.
The small stall quickly gathered a group of people.
Tiantian stood behind the stall. Seeing so many older brothers and sisters, he was not at all stage-frightened. His eyes darted around, and he directly started to do business, starting to promote the small dough figurines.
“Selling small dough figurines, five yuan for a small one, ten for these, and those beautiful ones are thirty and fifty yuan!”
Some of the small dough figurines of anime characters were almost a one-to-one restoration, which was time-consuming and laborious. Selling them for thirty or fifty yuan was just to earn some money for the craftsmanship.
When there were more people, there would naturally be people who took a fancy to the small dough figurines.
The crowd was noisy, and many people took out their phones to take pictures. Some even started a live stream on the spot, trying to gain some fame.
Fortunately, the production team quickly came out to maintain order, and the security guards dispersed the crowd to ensure the safety of the scene.
Tiantian was also taken back to the car by his brother.
However, in just half an hour, twenty or thirty small dough figurines had been sold, and the small stall was almost sold out.
This time, Shen Tiantian was really tired. He sat in the car and chugged water from his small water bottle.
Shen Jinfeng sat in the driver’s seat and couldn’t help but sigh.
It was the first time he had so directly felt the popularity of his little brother.
He would be surrounded and photographed when he walked on the street, which was a treatment that only popular stars had.
The key was that Shen Tiantian had only played a likable small role in the drama.
One could imagine how terrifying the fame of the real male lead of this drama, Lu Wei, had reached.
Shen Jinfeng had once thought that this drama was going to flop. With the attitude of supporting his little brother, he had invested several million in this drama.
But now, it had become his most profitable investment in the past six months.
Shen Jinfeng couldn’t help but let out a light sigh.
No wonder Shen Yuanchuan had said before that Tiantian had brought a sure-win business to the company.
Indeed, anything that the little one was involved in would always bring unexpected surprises.
Shen Jinfeng couldn’t help but smile and reached out to pinch Tiantian’s little face.
His face was round and plump, a very lucky look.
Shen Tiantian had drunk most of the water in his bottle, wiped his little mouth, and looked at his brother with a wary little gaze.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Shen Jinfeng shook his head. His attitude towards the little god of wealth had become much gentler, and his tone was soft.
“It’s nothing. Have you finished your water? Do you need your big brother to get you some more?”
Shen Tiantian felt that his brother was being very strange.
He craned his little neck away from his brother, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in a panic.
“Jinfeng, Jinfeng, are you silly?”
Shen Jinfeng heard this little one call him by his name, without any respect for his older brother. He folded his arms and let out a “heh heh.”
“Who are you calling? I’m your big brother. You dare to call me by my name again?”
Tiantian heard his brother’s familiar threatening tone and was finally relieved. He patted his chest and let out a small sigh.
“You scared me.”
He thought his brother’s brain had suddenly broken.
Tiantian can’t have a drooling, silly big brother. He still needs someone to work for him after he inherits the company.
Shen Jinfeng saw the little brat’s thoughts and gritted his teeth speechlessly.
It was getting late. Shen Jinfeng looked at the time and called the director to check on the situation of the other groups.
Because of a small accident on Shen Tiantian’s side, he was surrounded by too many passersby, and he had already sold out his things and finished work early.
The director estimated the progress of the other guests and said to Shen Jinfeng:
“It will probably be another half an hour before we can finish here. You and Tiantian don’t leave yet. We’ll record a collective closing segment at the exit later.”
Shen Jinfeng hummed in acknowledgment, drove the car around, and came to the end of the street.
Winter nights came particularly early. Tiantian felt that in the time it took him to eat an orange, it had already turned pitch black outside.
The lights were just lit, and all the ancient-style lanterns in the specialty town were instantly lit up, one after another, bright and splendid.
The lanterns in the street were even connected into a long dragon, and the tourists were like a weaving shuttle, very lively.
The production team found an empty space, gathered the guests, and quickly recorded an ending segment, ending the day’s recording.
The children were very tired, and several of them had their eyes closed, and were carried to the car by their parents in a daze.
Shen Tiantian’s energy was still quite good, and he didn’t doze off until he got home.
However, his eyes were also red from staying up, and his steps were very unsteady.
As soon as he got home, Tiantian lay on the sofa, his little hands and feet hanging down, and he couldn’t lift them at all.
He didn’t even have the strength to wash up. Tiantian, who was usually very capable of taking care of himself, tilted his head to look at Shen Jinfeng, who was taking off his coat, and struggled to lift his little finger.
“Big brother, big brother, come here.”
Shen Jinfeng saw Shen Tiantian’s half-crippled appearance and knew what he wanted to say without even guessing.
Sure enough, in the next second—
“Big brother, can you help me wipe my face and put on fragrance?”
