Chapter 27 Jiang Qian?

Ever since he heard the song composed by Jiang Shen that day, Ren Fenghe always looked forward to hearing the song come out. Every time he followed Jiang Shen to the studio, when Jiang Shen wanted to go to the dance studio, a hand would grab his clothes and pull him to the composing workbench.

Before we knew it, Christmas had passed and the new year had quietly arrived.

The first day of 2026, New Year’s Day.

Ren Fenghe was not woken up by the alarm clock nor woken up naturally today. The ringing doorbell at home forced her out of her sleep.

Last night she and Jiang Shen agreed to give each other a day off and sleep in, but in the end they didn't get to sleep in at all.

Ren Fenghe, who was woken up, came to Jiang Shen's room in a bad mood and shook him frantically.

Anyway, she can't be the only one woken up.

Ren Fenghe shook him mercilessly, with resentment on his face for being woken up.

"Get up! Get up, get up, get up!" Ren Fenghe almost shouted into Jiang Shen's ear.

"Didn't we agree to sleep in..." Jiang Shen, who was not woken up by the doorbell but was woken up by Ren Fenghe, said weakly.

"There's someone at the door!" Ren Fenghe shouted into his ear.

Jiang Shen's ears were buzzing because of her noise. He slowly turned over the quilt and stood up, rubbing his ears as he walked out, muttering, "You are so obedient in front of Aunt Miao, why are you so naughty in front of me?"

Ren Fenghe, who was following behind him, smiled proudly. This was a special treatment given to Zidan.

Jiang Shen couldn't see Ren Fenghe's expression, but he felt inexplicably cold on his back and arms. He rubbed his arms and put on his coat.

As the saying goes, children are half angel and half devil.

Sometimes what Yuanyuan said and did could make him feel warm inside and full of motivation, and sometimes he couldn't help but want to pinch her face.

The kind that you have to pinch and twist.

Jiang Shen walked out and opened the door. Ren Fenghe, who was not interested in who came, ran back to the room, fell back into the bed, rolled around in the quilt, and was about to close his eyes and continue sleeping after rolling himself into a cocoon.

Before she fell asleep, the door was suddenly opened again.

The little girl who opened the door looked curiously at the cocoon made of cartoon quilt and asked, "Can I come in and play with you?"

Um? !

The unfamiliar child's voice made Ren Fenghe's eyes open instantly. She wanted to break free from the cocoon and see who was coming, but she couldn't. She could only flap her arms and legs like a worm, then raised her head and looked outside.

There was a pretty little girl standing at the door.

The little girl had a sweet smile on her face, as if honey could come out if she poked her cheeks. Her eyes were lively and bright, like round glass beads. She had a princess hairstyle, a small crown on her head, and a beautiful yellow princess dress with a white faux fur jacket over it.

"Can I help you?"

The little girl came in with a questioning tone, but it was not easy for her, who was also a child, to pull off the heavy quilt.

She simply climbed onto the bed and used her hands and feet to untie the cocoon. After she was done, the princess crown on her head was crooked.

"Where are you from, little kid?" the little girl asked curiously.

Isn't it her turn to ask this question? Ren Fenghe, who had successfully freed himself, reached out and put the little girl's princess crown back on her while thinking.

Feeling Ren Fenghe's kindness, the little girl smiled even brighter. She introduced herself, "My name is Jiang Qian, my nickname is Yangyang, and I'm my uncle's cousin."

My uncle’s cousin, this generation system is really messed up.

One river is deep and the other is shallow, and you can tell they are related by blood just by listening.

After hearing Jiang Qian's self-introduction, Ren Fenghe looked at her again.

As the name suggests, Jiang Qian is like a shining little sun. She takes the initiative to say hello, help, introduce herself, and actively approach Ren Fenghe.

Ever since she found out that Jiang Shen didn't know about Zhang Tuanyuan's existence before, she denied the speculation that the little cousin Jiang Shen always mentioned was Zhang Tuanyuan.

Judging from the fact that Zhao Jiangshen mentioned his little cousin from time to time during his live broadcast, Ren Fenghe had thought about meeting her little cousin.

I didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Ren Fenghe also introduced herself: "My name is Zhang Tuanyuan, and I'm Jiang Shen's daughter."

Jiang Shen, who was worried that the children would be shy during their first meeting, sneaked over and saw two little girls chatting together.

Jiang Qian heard this, her dark eyes widened, and her red mouth opened, "Ah? Really?"

As expected of Jiang Shen's family, Jiang Qian was extremely pretty and cute, like an exquisite doll. Ren Fenghe couldn't control his love for beauty and kept staring at Jiang Qian.

Surprised, Jiang Qian digested this shocking news. She frowned, her thumb stuck to her chin, and made the number seven with her fingers as if thinking. She said, "But why haven't I seen you before?"

Ren Fenghe said: "I haven't seen you before, isn't it normal that you haven't seen me?"

Jiang Qian nodded thoughtfully and agreed: "Yes, this is normal!"

Jiang Shen behind the door couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. Yang Yang was about to be fooled by Yuan Yuan.

Obviously Yangyang is two years older than Yuanyuan.

He did not rush in to disturb the children's interaction, but continued to observe from outside.

He was worried that the scene described by Ms. Miao where Zhang Tuanyuan avoided the children in the community would happen again.

But Ren Fenghe just didn't want to play with the kids in the neighborhood, not that he didn't want to play with Jiang Qian.

She said, "I haven't brushed my teeth or washed my face yet. I'll help you comb your hair into a princess style after I finish washing. There are stickers in the toy box. I'll put them on your nails. They will definitely make you look beautiful."

Jiang Qian's eyes lit up again and again, she nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you in the living room, I'll also help you comb your hair, I'll also paint with you!"

After saying that, Jiang Qian took the initiative to walk out with Ren Fenghe holding hands, and Jiang Shen hurried out and came to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, his aunt Jiang Tangxia was stuffing large and small bags of food into the kitchen. As she stuffed them, she said, "It's not like you at all. There are so many dishes in the refrigerator. Are you finally willing to eat properly?"

Jiang Shen followed Jiang Tangxia's hand and looked towards the refrigerator.

Ever since Ms. Miao started cooking lunch and dinner, the empty refrigerator that originally only contained instant chicken breast and eggs, and ice cubes and iced coffee liquid, has become full. Jiang Tangxia has to be very picky about where to put the things she bought.

I don’t know how Jiang Tangxia found space in the already full refrigerator to make it even fuller.

Jiang Shen said vaguely: "Compared to before, I eat a little more."

Jiang Tangxia turned around, glanced at Jiang Shen up and down, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, you are a little fatter than before, not bad, keep up the good work."

Jiang Shen pinched his face and arms in disbelief and said, "I only ate a little more, is it so obvious?"

Although Jiang Tangxia is Jiang Shen's aunt, she is the daughter of Jiang Shen's grandparents in their old age. Although she is older in generation, she is not very old, only in her thirties now. She is more like a peer to Jiang Shen than an elder.

Also because they were of similar age, when Jiang Shen went to Korea to be a trainee, Jiang Tangxia was the only relative who supported him.

Jiang Tangxia pinched a small distance between her thumb and index finger, "Don't worry, it's just a little bit, it looks better this way."

Jiang Shen said solemnly: "Reality and being on camera are two different things."

"Just wait until you are ready to appear on camera before losing weight. It's no big deal," said Jiang Tangxia.

Jiang Shen thought about Ms. Miao's meal and agreed with this statement.

He asked: "Why are you flying to my place instead of having a reunion on New Year's Day?"

Jiang Tangxia glanced at him and said, "Can I reunite with you?"

Then, as if she remembered something, she raised her leg and kicked him and said, "I am speechless. You hid your illness from me and didn't tell me the first time you returned to China."

Jiang Shen said: "Even if I told you right away, you wouldn't be able to come."

Jiang Tangxia and Jiang Qian live far away, so they have to take a plane to come to his place.

Jiang Tangxia pinched him again, "Okay, talking to your aunt like this doesn't look like a junior."

Jiang Shen knew that she was worried about him, so he let her pinch him.

Jiang Tangxia felt that it was meaningless when he acted like this, so she took her hand back and asked, "How is Jingchun?"

"She is still in hospital for treatment. She refused to tell me the details, but it may not be good."

"She's really willing to leave such a young child to you to take care of?"

"It's not that I'm throwing it to you. It's that I'm taking care of it temporarily."

Jiang Qian and Ren Fenghe separated in the corridor, one went to the bathroom and the other went to the living room.

Ren Fenghe finished washing up quickly and went to the living room. She took out stickers and wanted to play with Jiang Qian. Just as she was helping Jiang Shen take care of the child, her stomach started to growl.

He was indeed a little hungry. Ren Fenghe touched his stomach as he selected the gems on the stickers to do a manicure for Jiang Qian.

This touch revealed Jiang Qian's sense of responsibility.

In Jiang Qian's eyes, the person opposite her was a little sister younger than her. She had to take good care of her. She immediately pulled Ren Fenghe up and went to the kitchen to find her mother and uncle.

"Mom! Uncle! Yuanyuan's stomach is growling!" Jiang Qian said as she threw herself into Jiang Tangxia's arms.

Jiang Tangxia hugged Jiang Qian, letting Jiang Qian's face touch hers, and she looked at Ren Fenghe.

"Nice to meet you. I am Jiang Shen's aunt. Normally you should call me aunt, but that always feels a bit strange. So just call me Aunt Jiang. Is there anything you want to eat? Auntie will cook it for you." Jiang Tangxia said softly.

The blood connection made Ren Fenghe identify Jiang Shen's shadow in Jiang Qian's face the first time he saw her, and Jiang Tangxia looked even more like Jiang Shen, with those cat-like eyes with slightly upturned corners, which were exactly the same.

Not only was Ren Fenghe observing Jiang Tangxia, but Jiang Tangxia was also paying attention to Ren Fenghe.

As a mother of a child, she felt that Ren Fenghe was too thin as soon as she saw him. Jiang Tangxia sighed inwardly, and her resentment towards Zhang Jingchun dissipated a lot when she saw Ren Fenghe's appearance.

Of course, she cares more about her nephew than her childhood playmates and strangers.

It seemed outrageous to her that her eldest nephew was sick but was still taking care of a child he didn't even know out of some inexplicable sense of responsibility.

But the child is innocent.

In Jiang Tangxia's eyes, Zhang Tuanyuan had a little more flesh on his body compared to Zhang Tuanyuan when Ren Fenghe first came. This was all the result of Ren Fenghe taking good care of his body, not being picky about food, and eating more meat, vegetables, and rice.

But Ren Fenghe has only been in this body for a short time, so the results are not yet obvious.

Ren Fenghe lacks experience in getting along with this type of female elders.

Ms. Miao is different from Jiang Tangxia. To Ren Fenghe, Ms. Miao is like Aunt Wang at home. Although she is also an elder who can be relied on and trusted, because they are bound together by an employment relationship, Ren Fenghe can treat Ms. Miao and Aunt Wang naturally and relaxedly.

Jiang Tangxia is different. To be honest, Jiang Tangxia's existence is similar to that of a relative like a mother or an aunt.

Since she was a child, her parents were busy with work and other relatives lived far away in other cities, so she had a very weak relationship with her family.

Subconsciously, Ren Fenghe leaned towards Jiang Shen, pulled Jiang Shen, and asked Jiang Shen to answer for her.
