Chapter 4: Meet Mom
Yeah, the tone is perfect, it sounds like a child missing his mother.
Jiang Shen suddenly walked to Ren Fenghe, bent his knees slightly to look at her at eye level, and gently held Ren Fenghe's hand with a hand that had cold fingertips.
"Yuanyuan, I'll take you to see your mother in a while, okay?"
"Or should we send a voice message to mom first?"
Ren Fenghe didn't understand why Jiang Shen was so serious, as if taking the little girl to see her mother was a serious and difficult matter.
She didn't want to be touched by Jiang Shen, so she pulled her hand back.
Jiang Shen’s hand, which had just shaken Bing Meishi’s, was too cold.
Ren Fenghe shook his head and said, "No need."
Just sending voice messages still means you don’t know who the other person is.
Jiang Shen was stunned for a moment, a trace of worry flashed across his face, he quickly controlled his expression so as not to let the sensible little girl in front of him see anything.
"I promise you, I will take you to see your mother," he said.
After dinner, Jiang Shen went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Ren Fenghe sat on the sofa.
She kept thinking about Jiang Shen's words and always felt strange.
Just listening to those few sentences, it's a bit like the parents divorcing, the child was awarded to the father, and the child has a better relationship with the mother.
But getting married and divorced is impossible. If Jiang Shen gets married and divorced, it will be exposed in minutes.
Does that mean we broke up?
After the breakup, the mother left the child to be taken care of by the father during this period?
Ren Fenghe thought her analysis was extremely reasonable.
Yes, it would be wisest to break up with a boyfriend as soon as possible if he is busy in Korea all day and has no time to spend with me, and also holds hands and says sweet words to different girls at book signing events.
She was still thinking when she heard the sound of a door opening outside the entrance.
The person outside walked in and shouted, "Jiang Shen, I've set up the studio for you. When are you going?"
As soon as Brother Jinsi came in, he saw Ren Fenghe sitting on the sofa.
The two men met eyes and stared at each other.
The person who was speaking was a familiar face to Ren Fenghe.
He is the agent responsible for Jiang Shen's domestic schedule. Fans generally call him Brother Jinsi because every time he appears in the photos taken by the fans of Jiang Shen, he wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
Knowing that his fans call him that, he naturally accepted it. Sometimes when fans pick him up at domestic airports and see him, they call him "Brother Jinsi" and he will respond.
Brother Jinsi pointed at Ren Fenghe and asked suspiciously: "You...?"
Ren Fenghe was very worried. No way, no way, didn’t Brother Jinsi know that Jiang Shen had a child?
Should she hide or pretend to be Jiang Shen's cousin?
Although she hates Jiang Shen now, she still likes other members very much. She doesn't want the fact that Jiang Shen has a child to affect other members, so the fewer people know that Jiang Shen has a child, the better!
Ren Fenghe held his breath.
She admitted that she felt sorry for helping Jiang Shen hide the matter from his colleagues.
In the past, when she saw other groups revealing scandals and their offline fans saying they already knew about it, she could never understand why they helped to conceal it. But when such a thing happened to her, she subconsciously chose to put the development of her team first.
Ren Fenghe looked up at Brother Jinsi nervously, waiting for the verdict.
Brother Jinsi looked at Ren Fenghe strangely with a frown on his face, and Ren Fenghe's fear completely dropped to the bottom.
It’s over, I really don’t know him, I’m going to be exposed.
At this time, Jiang Shen just came out of the kitchen and saw Brother Jinsi and Ren Fenghe looking at each other from a distance. He said to Brother Jinsi: "I told you."
Brother Jinsi instantly regained his lost memory, but he still frowned, as if he wanted to stop Jiang Shen's behavior, but he also seemed to think of something else, and waved his hand helplessly and said, "I know, what's her name?"
Ren Fenghe pricked up her ears, she also wanted to know what the little girl's name was. Jiang Shen kept calling her "Yuanyuan", which was just a nickname at most.
"Zhang Tuanyuan, four years old this year."
Ren Fenghe remembered these two important pieces of information.
It seems that Jiang Shen’s girlfriend or ex-girlfriend’s surname is Zhang.
Brother Jinsi looked back at Ren Fenghe, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Ren Fenghe understood this look. If she was Jiang Shen’s agent or assistant, her reaction when seeing Jiang Shen’s daughter would only be more exaggerated than his.
But Ren Fenghe hated this kind of scrutinizing look. She lowered her head silently and avoided this kind of gaze.
Ren Fenghe was pulling at Xiao Suisui on both sides of the sofa pillows, and didn't notice that Jiang Shen had walked between them, blocking Jinsi Ge's sight with his tall body.
Brother Jinsi took advantage of Zhang Tuanyuan's young age and thought that she couldn't understand, so he wanted to say bad things about Zhang Tuanyuan in front of Ren Fenghe.
"Take her over, then..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Shen took over.
Jiang Shen answered Brother Jinsi in Korean.
Ren Fenghe could understand what Jiang Shen said in Korean. Jiang Shen said, "It doesn't matter."
But Ren Fenghe couldn't understand the following conversation.
In order to judge what they were talking about, Ren Fenghe looked up again and tried to guess the meaning from their expressions.
Ren Fenghe was very familiar with Jiang Shen's micro-expressions, and she thought that after the surgery, her ability to read expressions had become very strong. Maybe she could judge the meaning of their conversation through their expressions.
It was a pity that she was faced with a language she had never learned. All she could hear were "yo" and "smecta" from the two people's conversation. She really couldn't guess what they were saying.
But she found that after Jiang Shen said the last sentence, there was a layer of gloom on his face, and Brother Jinsi also sighed.
Then he switched back to Chinese and said, "The contract is about to expire. You should think carefully about what to do next."
He spoke again in Korean. This time, Ren Fenghe understood a few individual words through her experience of watching group variety shows, such as "holiday" and "half a year". She naturally came to the conclusion that Jiang Shen had taken sick leave for half a year.
Because the contract is about to expire, she decided to take a six-month leave to come back and take care of the children. In the end, she thought about whether to put the children first and transform her career and stop being an idol, or should she continue to shine on the stage without telling her fans as usual?
Ren Fenghe sympathizes with Zhang Tuanyuan.
Brother Jinsi brought the topic back to the beginning, and said: "The studio has been cleaned up for you, go take a look, and if you are not satisfied, do it again."
Jiang Shen turned his head to look at Ren Fenghe.
"Yuanyuan, I'm going out for a while. Do you want to go out with me?"
Ren Fenghe silently got up from the sofa, walked to Jiang Shen, and nodded vigorously.
She was a little curious.
The curious Ren Fenghe was dressed up as a strange ball.
It was chilly in mid-December, and she didn't have many clothes in her closet, so Jiang Shen simply took out all his clothes for her to wear.
The four-year-old child can dress himself. Ren Fenghe complains that the messy dressing is ugly while he slowly puts on his clothes, trying to match the time it would take a clumsy child to put on his clothes.
After she finished dressing and walked out of the room, Jiang Shen still felt that she was not warm enough, so he wrapped her in his down jacket and picked her up.
"It's cold outside. I'll carry you and we can walk faster."
Ren Fenghe looked at this camouflaged idol with a black hat, black mask, and black sunglasses, and wanted to tell Jiang Shen that this outfit was suitable for the airport, but when she was wrapped in a down jacket, she really looked like a human trafficker.
Ren Fenghe was helpless, but in order to prevent Jiang Shen from attracting suspicion from passers-by, he took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally, then put his arms around Jiang Shen's neck.
What a picture of a close father and daughter.
Ren Fenghe instigated psychological activities on the passers-by around him.
Jiang Shen's home is in a well-hidden high-end community.
Although it is a residential area, the buildings are not tall, with each building having a maximum of twelve floors and one household per floor. The buildings are separated by special gardens, water features and other landscapes, and there are also leisure spaces to ensure privacy between buildings.
Brother Jinsi led the way and said, "Your building is full, so I'll set up my studio in the building next to it. That building happens to have a floor for rent, but it can't be rented for a short period of time, so I'll rent it to you for a year."
Jiang Shen nodded and said, "It's fine as long as it's close. Money is not a problem."
It seems that we have made a lot of money in recent years.
That’s good. It’s worth it for her to buy box after box of albums, Ren Fenghe thought.
The documentary that Ren Fenghe watched when she first started to like Amanecer was an old one from three years ago, which means that when she fell in love with Amanecer, they had already debuted for six years.
In their sixth year since their debut, they are no longer the poor little guys in the documentary, their fans have spread all over the world, and every time they release a song it lands in the top five of the Melon daily chart and quickly climbs to the top of the annual chart. The money earned by such a group is already among the top among K-pop groups.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, they arrived at the studio.
The large and small living rooms still remain as resting areas as before. Brother Jinsi bought some decorations that Jiang Shen liked and decorated them, but the focus is still on the rooms inside.
"It just so happens that the original resident of this household has a daughter who studies ballet, so he renovated a dance studio specifically for her. Now you have a practice room as well."
Brother Jinsi is quite good at keeping people in suspense. He deliberately closed all the doors and now pushed open a door while introducing one.
"I've replaced the floor covering for you."
Ren Fenghe leaned her head to look inside. The newly replaced floor mat still had a slight smell. She looked at the familiar handle and silently retracted her head.
"This is the music room. All the instruments you can play are in there."
Ren Fenghe leaned inside again and saw a guitar, piano, and drum set in the room covered with soundproof cotton.
"This last one, your real studio, see if the workbench works."
The last room besides the bathroom opened and everyone walked in.
The room was very dark, with only ambient lights around the computer. There were quite a few devices next to the computer, including headphones, speakers, microphones, something that looked like piano keys but was connected with wires, and other high-end-looking devices that Ren Fenghe couldn't name.
“Here, this is the blind creative space you like.” Brother Jinsi commented sharply on Jiang Shen’s habit of creating in a darker environment.
It’s amazing that Jiang Shen wrote “with me” in such an environment.
Ren Fenghe walked to the table curiously, stood on tiptoe, raised his head, and looked around carefully.
Can you write a song using these things? Don’t you need to use the instruments in the music room?
A completely unfamiliar area, completely unfamiliar equipment, everything here made Ren Fenghe feel magical.
Jiang Shen glanced at the workbench, which was almost an 1:1 replica of the one he had in Korea. His agent had indeed prepared it carefully for him.
He sincerely thanked Jinsi Ge and said, "Thank you, I like it here very much."
Brother Jinsi did not respond because his attention was on Ren Fenghe, who was standing next to the computer but was well-behaved and did not touch anyone.
He suddenly pointed at Ren Fenghe.
