Chapter 65: Get beaten or pat on the back?
Jiang Shen interrupted gently and said, "It's not entirely like that. Okay, let's talk about something else."
Brother Jinsi was quiet for a while, thinking about Jiang Shen’s illness.
He has been in this business for a long time, but Jiang Shen has been in this business even longer.
He knew these things better than him.
Brother Jinsi has always thought that Jiang Shen is stupid. He should just treat fans as a tool to make money. If he just puts on a show and laughs with fans, fans will come and offer money to him. There is no need for him to be sincere. Look, if he wants to be sincere, he needs to see a psychiatrist.
Brother Jinsi had no choice but to change the subject and tell Jiang Shen about the current situation.
Jiang Shen listened quietly.
As he listened, his attention was drawn to a small figure running out from the entrance.
A figure like a little cannonball ran out kicking his cotton slippers, full of energy, not at all like the dazed and pitiful look of someone who had a fever in the middle of the night.
She looked around, immediately locked onto his direction, and then fixed her eyes on him.
Brother Jinsi was still saying something on the phone, but Jiang Shen no longer had the desire to listen.
The same words are repeated over and over again on the Internet.
Two years ago, he would be obsessed with these comments and would be sad because familiar fans spoke ill of him.
Many people took advantage of the topic, pieced together some of the things he had said and done, and added their personal interpretations to judge his behavior.
For example, he once said that he didn't like certain colors or foods, but because he later wore clothes of his disliked colors and ate foods he didn't like, he was labeled a liar who created a persona for himself.
For example, when he was playing with his teammates, he tapped the place where his teammate had been injured and was accused of secretly bullying his teammate.
But people change. Just because you once disliked a color or a taste doesn’t mean you won’t like it in the future.
When playing with teammates, no one thought too much. I hit you at the spot where you were injured before, and you also hit me at the spot where I was injured before, because you and I both know that those injuries have healed and will not have any impact.
Even if he could explain these malicious speculations one by one, he would doubt himself after a long time.
Is there really something wrong with him? Is his explanation just a subconscious defense of his own side?
Otherwise, why do so many people support these claims?
But now he doesn't want to doubt himself anymore, and he doesn't want to be hurt anymore.
Those who maliciously misinterpret him don't understand him at all, so why should he be hurt by these words?
He knew that he had not done anything to let down his fans, his career, or go against his previous promises.
That's enough.
He doesn't want to hear bad voices anymore.
He only has two ears and the sounds he can hear are very limited.
If you don't listen to the bad voices, those who support him will become blurred.
Jiang Shen interrupted Jinsi Ge and said, "Okay, Yuanyuan and I are going to have breakfast."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
"Hello? Hello? It's not you--" Brother Jinsi on the other end of the phone hadn't reacted yet, and the call was hung up halfway through his words.
He looked at his phone speechlessly, then couldn't help laughing.
The last time Jiang Shen was involved in a love scandal, he returned to China to participate in a variety show. He was the one who followed the whole process. He knew too well how much influence the fans' and outsiders' words had on Jiang Shen.
Originally, he was quite dissatisfied with the fact that Jiang Shen inexplicably raised a child who was not related to him by blood, and he had complained about it countless times behind his back.
But now it seems that having a child can distract him and keep him from being trapped by emotions, which may not be a bad thing.
On the balcony, Jiang Shen put away his phone and returned to the warm room.
"Are you okay?" Ren Fenghe looked up and asked.
"I'm fine, but you were sick, so shouldn't I be the one asking you this question? Are you okay?" Jiang Shen smiled.
Looking at Jiang Shen's smile, Ren Fenghe nodded vigorously and said affirmatively: "I'm very good!"
"Okay, let's go have some porridge."
After Jiang Shen finished speaking, he took Ren Fenghe's hand and the two walked towards the restaurant one after the other.
After dinner, Ren Fenghe began to hide in the room and search for information like he was fighting a guerrilla war.
She had just recovered from an illness, and Jiang Shen frowned when he saw her closing the door. Ren Fenghe, who decided to be a "three-good kid" for a while, could only keep the door open so as not to worry Jiang Shen.
What's even worse is that because her fever had just subsided, Jiang Shen would come into the room to check on her from time to time, and would touch her forehead from time to time to confirm whether her temperature had risen again.
This made it impossible for her to concentrate on reading the messages. She would always take a quick look and then quickly clear the message history.
But even so, Ren Fenghe still managed to figure out the ins and outs of this candid photo and roughly understood the fans' reactions.
Some new fans ran away, some fans of the group were tired, and some fans of other groups took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, spreading false statements everywhere, and even photoshopped a few ugly pictures of Jiang Shen and spread them everywhere.
But most of Jiang Shen’s fans, especially the die-hard fans who have experienced love scandals, online wars of words, and the company’s inaction, still stand firmly on his side and scoff at the so-called rumors that "Jiang Shen has a child."
"The person in the photo looks a lot like Jiang Shen, but there are so many similar people in the world, who dares to say that this is definitely him? Besides, Jiang Shen took his child to see a doctor, does that mean Jiang Shen has a child? Could it be that he took his little cousin to see a doctor? In short, I don't believe anything before Jiang Shen speaks in the company. Does the person who was slapped in the face last time want to be slapped in a different face this time?"
There are also some sarcastic comments under these supportive comments - "Did anyone really believe what the company said about the sister-in-law incident last time? My sister-in-law admitted it herself. Leave your name, and I will sell you health products when you are old."
Ren Fenghe ignored these sarcastic people and focused on the comments of supportive fans. The more he read, the more guilty he felt.
I’m sorry, my fellow fans, the person in the photo is really Jiang Shen, and she is really Jiang Shen’s daughter.
A deep sense of guilt pressed down on Ren Fenghe's shoulders like a heavy mountain.
Ren Fenghe felt that she had betrayed the organization. She knew the whole truth, but planned to help Jiang Shen hide it.
She was even prepared that if someone really came to her for confirmation and asked her "Who is your father", she would definitely not say it was Jiang Shen's.
Ren Fenghe, feeling restless, decided not to listen to the die-hard fan's speech.
Sorry, fellow bearers.
She continued with other speeches, and many comments about quitting being a fan were forced into her eyes.
The more she read these words, the more familiar they seemed to her. She knew that she had said similar words when she was reborn as Jiang Shen's daughter.
But now, she no longer has the original idea.
Although only two months had passed, Jiang Shen was no longer just an idol for her to admire.
During these two months, Jiang Shen tolerated all her tempers, big or small, and did many things that she had imagined her parents doing countless times when she was a child.
He is still an idol, but he is also her family.
Moreover, although she didn't want to admit it, she seemed to be the type of person who had low moral standards and only helped her relatives but not others.
Damn Jiang Shen, he lowered her moral bottom line!
Ren Fenghe decided to go out and punch Jiang Shen a few times to vent the anger on behalf of his fans!
After carefully clearing all her search history, she put on her shoes and went to the living room.
As soon as she arrived in the living room, she saw Jiang Shen sitting cross-legged on the floor, his face supported by his left hand, and colored pencils in his right hand, concentrating on coloring the picture book.
His cell phone was casually thrown on the sofa
There was no trace of sadness between Jiang Shen's brows as he carefully colored the picture. Only peace and tranquility could be seen.
Ren Fenghe was stunned for a moment.
She thought he would be overwhelmed or depressed because of this matter, but unexpectedly, he was so calm as if nothing had happened.
But she also knew that people who were truly peaceful inside would not relax by painting.
No matter what he thought in his heart——
In short! Avenge my comrades first!
Ren Fenghe suddenly rushed to Jiang Shen's back, raised his fist mercilessly, and hit him hard on the back several times.
A few times on the left, a few times on the right, a few times above and below.
By the way, pinch his shoulders hard twice.
Well, my friends, I have avenged you!
Well, Jiang Shen has a thick skin, so he would probably feel quite comfortable if he was beaten like this.
Jiang Shen was stunned by the sudden "attack from behind". Surprised and puzzled, he wanted to turn his head to look at her, but she held his face and pushed his head back.
"You can't turn around!" Ren Fenghe ordered.
Even and rhythmic fists hit his back, and Jiang Shen couldn't help but curl his lips.
He thought again of the child who was giving him a back massage and who, out of arrogance or shyness, refused to turn his head to look at him. The curve of his mouth deepened, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he laughed with his fist in front of his mouth.
"Are you massaging my back?" Jiang Shen tried his best to hold back his laughter. Otherwise, as he knew, the kids behind him would definitely get angry.
"No, I'm beating you." Ren Fenghe muttered.
Jiang Shen pretended to be pitiful and said, "I took care of you all day yesterday, and I took you to the hospital before dawn today. Do you still want to beat me up?"
Ah, familiar tone, familiar taste, Ren Fenghe punched Jiang Shen twice more.
Jiang Shen put down the colored pencils and lay down on the coffee table leisurely.
This makes it easier for Ren Fenghe to take action.
She slowed down her movements and said as she massaged his back: "You know, letting a sick child massage an adult's back is strongly condemned."
Jiang Shen laughed again, and his shoulders, which had been shaking non-stop, relaxed unconsciously, no longer showing the initial slightly raised defensive posture.
Jiang Shen said: "So that's how it is, then you better beat me up."
"I'm going to beat you a hundred times," Ren Fenghe added, "and just close your eyes and take the beating."
Jiang Shen cooperated by closing his eyes, feeling the force evenly falling on his back. Before he knew it, he fell asleep while lying on the coffee table.
Ren Fenghe did not stop immediately. She continued to hit Jiang Shen's back very slowly for a while before stopping.
She walked lightly to Jiang Shen's side and looked at the picture book on the table.
The lush flowers were painted a misty color.
Ren Fenghe doesn't understand psychology, but she knows that paintings can reveal a person's true psychological state.
She turned her head to look at Jiang Shen. His lovable appearance, which gave people a sense of delicate and broken, was made even more fragile by the dark circles under his eyes and light eyebrows from staying up all night.
Ren Fenghe couldn't help but think: Even though Jiang Shen acted nonchalant this time, threw his phone aside and didn't read the messages, and acted like he didn't care about anything, it still had an impact on Jiang Shen.
Ever since the love scandal two years ago, he has been trapped by outside voices.
After thinking about it, Ren Fenghe suddenly paused, as if the pause button was pressed.
Doesn't she also care about the outside world's eyes?
She thinks Jiang Shen should ignore the negative voices from the outside world and stay firm in being himself. What about her?
