Chapter 7: Nodding in Repayment
"Here, take down your bathtub and shower head. This is the shower gel."
Ms. Miao cleaned the children's bathtub in the bathroom, prepared the bathing supplies for Ren Fenghe, and finally tested the water temperature. After making sure it was just right, she spoke to Ren Fenghe.
"Thank you, grandma." Ren Fenghe stretched out his voice and said sweetly, trying to calm the last bit of anger in Ms. Miao's heart.
After saying that, looking at Ms. Miao who was reluctant to turn around, Ren Fenghe pointed at the step stool and said, "Grandma, you can sit on this stool and turn around and wait for me."
It seemed that she was determined to wash it herself. Ms. Miao pulled the step stool over and sat down, mumbling something inaudibly.
"Call me if you need help." After sitting down, she said unwillingly.
"Yeah!" Ren Fenghe responded quickly.
It's okay. A person who has lived for more than ten years doesn't need help taking a bath.
In order to let Ms. Miao know clearly that she can take a bath independently, Ren Fenghe did not delay and did not learn from the child to take off his clothes slowly and clumsily. He quickly stripped himself naked and went to the children's bathtub.
As soon as she touched the water in the bathtub, she was scalded and reflexively pulled her hand back, causing a small splash.
Hearing the sound of water, Ms. Miao asked again: "Do you want me to help you?"
"No need!" Ren Fenghe endured the scalding pain and quickly got into the bathtub.
The water temperature that Ms. Miao tried was so hot that she grimaced. After becoming a child and having to adapt to her height again, Ren Fenghe discovered a new difference between adults and children - their perception of the outside world is different.
She once again imagined herself as a chicken to be plucked. Taking a bath in this water was equivalent to plucking her feathers in boiling water.
Ren Fenghe didn't want to stay any longer, so she quickly wet her body, applied shower gel, and quickly washed herself. Finally, she didn't use the shower head, but directly turned on the faucet that was taller than her to rinse away the remaining bubbles.
Ms. Miao couldn't understand why Jiang Shen allowed Zhang Tuanyuan to take a bath alone.
Her nephew called her to help the child bathe, but now she doesn't have to bathe the child, she just needs to sit.
Feeling guilty about taking the money, Ms. Miao rubbed her face and listened to the sound of water behind her.
In her opinion, even if a four-year-old child knows how to take a bath, he or she will be attracted by everything in the bathroom, such as blowing bubbles with shower gel and playing with water.
She finally gave in because she thought she could use the fact that Zhang Tuanyuan couldn't take a bath alone as a reason to help him take a bath.
"Grandma Miao, I'm done washing." Ren Fenghe pulled out a towel to dry himself, then put on his clothes and shouted.
Ms. Miao thought that Zhang Tuanyuan would call her for help, but she didn't expect that Zhang Tuanyuan would call her when he had finished taking a thorough shower.
She turned her head and saw that the other person had put on his clothes and was looking at her happily.
When she noticed that she had turned her head, she proudly opened her arms and shook them twice, like a little penguin, and turned around to prove that she could do it well alone.
It looked so cute that Ms. Miao couldn't help laughing.
The coffee battle between Ms. Miao and Jiang Shen ended in a draw with both sides taking a step back, while the bathing battle between Ms. Miao and Ren Fenghe ended in a great victory for Ren Fenghe.
Although Ren Fenghe didn't want to admit it, Jiang Shen did help in this bathing battle.
"Sure, wash it clean."
Ms. Miao hugged Ren Fenghe and sniffed her like a kitten. She also touched Ren Fenghe's arm to check if there was any shower gel that had not been rinsed off.
"Okay, I give in. I admit that you can take a bath very well by yourself. Just take a bath like this from now on. I will stay by your side and not look at you."
"As for washing your hair, I'll take you out to wash it as Xiao Shen said."
"You are just a little kid and you are already shy. We are all girls, what are you afraid of?"
Ms. Miao guessed that the reason Zhang Tuanyuan didn't let her help him take a bath was because he was shy.
Ren Fenghe couldn't explain the real reason, so he had to grin. This smile revealed his baby teeth, which softened Ms. Miao's heart.
Ms. Miao's pent-up anger suddenly dissipated, and she couldn't help but give Ren Fenghe an affectionate kiss on the face.
"Oh, so cute." The anger came and went quickly. The more Ms. Miao looked at the little girl, the more she liked her.
The bathing incident ended here. Ms. Miao opened the bathroom door, let Ren Fenghe out, and took the vegetables into the kitchen.
Jiang Shen remembered something and walked to the kitchen and said to Ms. Miao, "Auntie, you don't have to cook for me."
Ms. Miao remembered that this person was a celebrity, "You have to eat a celebrity diet, right?"
Jiang Shen thought about this statement for a while, then said hesitantly, "To some extent, I guess so."
Ms. Miao asked: "What recipes do you have? I can just make them, or do you have a special chef?"
Jiang Shen said: "That's not the case. I plan to do it myself."
Ms. Miao said: "It's too much trouble for you to do it after I finish it. Okay, just tell me what you want to eat and I will make it for you."
So Jiang Shen said, "I eat boiled vegetables and boiled chicken breast."
Ms. Miao looked at Jiang Shen in an indescribable way, with her eyebrows raised as if to say "that's it".
"Okay, I get it, isn't this a diet meal?"
She turned on the range hood, which made a rumbling sound. She turned around, gestured to Jiang Shen to "get out", and closed the kitchen door.
The noise from the kitchen disappeared instantly.
Jiang Shen returned to the living room and Ren Fenghe was there too.
It was so awkward to be alone with Jiang Shen again. Ren Fenghe quickly raised his eyes to glance at Jiang Shen.
She once again grabbed the small spike of the pillow, sincerely hoping that Ms. Miao could prepare dinner in one second and not give her and Jiang Shen the chance to be alone.
Especially since she had just received help from Jiang Shen.
Although Jiang Shen betrayed his fans, one thing is for sure, she has to thank Jiang Shen for this.
Ren Fenghe was thinking about how to open his mouth in a natural and unobtrusive way.
The tantrum she just threw completely destroyed the image she had established.
Although his character setting has come to an end, Ren Fenghe is no longer as afraid of being exposed as he was at the beginning.
After spending a day together, Ren Fenghe discovered that Jiang Shen and Zhang Tuanyuan didn't seem to be very familiar with each other.
This conclusion had already taken shape when she, Jiang Shen, and Brother Jinsi were waiting for Ms. Miao to arrive.
Getting up, eating, going to the studio, things happened one after another and it was hard to notice, but when everyone was free, it became particularly obvious that Jiang Shen and Zhang Tuanyuan were not familiar with each other.
Just imagine, how could a father and daughter with a good relationship not say a word to each other for a long time, but just do their own things on the sofa.
They say everyone should do their own thing, but what can a child do without TV, mobile phone, books or snacks? I can only stare blankly.
Jiang Shen always stole glances at her, as if he wanted to get closer to her but didn't know how.
That’s right, Jiang Shen is in Korea all year round, so he has no chance to see his daughter.
Since you are not familiar with each other, you can just be yourself in front of Jiang Shen.
Anyway, he didn't know what kind of personality Zhang Tuanyuan should have.
Ren Fenghe relaxed a little, and then began to think about how to thank Jiang Shen.
She grabbed Xiao Suisui and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window. She wanted to glance at Jiang Shen to confirm what Jiang Shen was doing and then naturally turned her face back.
But as soon as she took a glance, her heart skipped a beat.
For some unknown reason, Jiang Shen happened to look at her.
Ren Fenghe's intuition told her that what was about to happen would most likely be the scene she least wanted to face.
She breathed lightly so that she could listen carefully in all directions and judge the situation through the scattered small sounds.
There was only the sound of friction coming from the leather sofa. Along with the sound, the sofa towards Jiang Shen bulged a little. Then, the light in Ren Fenghe's eyes gradually dimmed.
A tall figure came and sat down beside her.
They went from sitting in separate corners of the sofa to sitting together in one corner of the sofa.
Ren Fenghe closed his eyes tightly, and the imagined scene came true.
She knew this scene would definitely happen.
Jiang Shen took his daughter to live with him, he must want to develop a relationship with her, how could he keep his distance from her?
Ren Fenghe didn’t know how long she would stay in this body, but after avoiding it for a day, she should face the problem.
She put the pillow aside and faced Jiang Shen with the determination to die.
After turning around, she didn't know what to say to start her speech, so she could only stare at Jiang Shen.
Seeing this, Jiang Shen also turned around and sat cross-legged on the sofa, facing Ren Fenghe.
Oh, I have to speak up, Ren Fenghe thought.
Her mouth moved and short syllables were about to come out of her throat, but before she could speak, Jiang Shen opposite her suddenly stretched out his right hand towards her.
Do you want a handshake? Ren Fenghe held her hand uncertainly.
As soon as she put her hand on it, it was completely wrapped by Jiang Shen's hand. Children's hands are small to begin with, and Jiang Shen's hands are slightly longer than those of ordinary people, so holding Ren Fenghe's hand was like holding an egg.
He wrapped Ren Fenghe's hand around his and shook it up and down twice, like greeting someone he met for the first time in the workplace.
After saying hello, Jiang Shen inexplicably got down from the sofa, squatted on the ground, and changed from looking down at Ren Fenghe to looking up slightly.
Ren Fenghe realized that what Jiang Shen was going to say next was probably not simple.
She focused, her breathing becoming lighter.
“Round.”
Jiang Shen looked at Ren Fenghe intently, still holding her hand, but he hooked his index finger around hers, and now it was Ren Fenghe's hand that wrapped around his index finger.
"I know we've only known each other for a few days and we're not that familiar with each other yet. You can't see your mother anymore and you must be missing her and scared when you're away from her."
"But don't worry, mom will definitely take you back."
"Just stay here with me for the time being. You can tell me anything you want to say or do."
"Let's trust each other and love each other, because we are also family, right?"
After Jiang Shen finished speaking, he looked at Ren Fenghe with smiling eyes, his bright and sparkling eyes shining like stars.
He shook their hands again. He wanted to tell Zhang Tuanyuan what was in his heart seriously, but he was worried that the atmosphere was too heavy, so he simply used this playful way to ease the atmosphere.
He was looking forward to the answer from the little girl.
Just like when they first met, the little girl didn't like to talk. She just stared at him quietly with her dark eyes. But she had the curiosity of all children. Her eyes were always looking at the person who was talking, at the stranger, and at the person she wanted to know.
He hoped that the little girl could open up to him and trust him, and that they could really get along like family.
Jiang Shen, who was waiting for an answer, didn't know that what he said directly overturned all the guesses that Ren Fenghe had made today.
Ren Fenghe was in a brainstorm again.
They had only known each other for a few days, which meant that Jiang Shen didn't know that he had a daughter.
Zhang Tuanyuan's mother had been hiding the fact that she had a daughter from them, but for some unknown reason she was temporarily unable to take care of Zhang Tuanyuan, so she handed Zhang Tuanyuan over to Jiang Shen until he returned to China.
This may also explain why Jiang Shen did not take her to meet Zhang Tuanyuan's mother, but only let her send voice messages.
It sounds like Zhang Tuanyuan's mother will take Zhang Tuanyuan back after the matter is resolved.
Ren Fenghe's eyebrows slowly frowned, his expression solemn.
In short, Jiang Shen had a daughter without knowing it and decided to take over the responsibility of taking care of the girl. It is not yet certain whether Jiang Shen will return to his family and work behind the scenes, return to his idol career, or remain active on the screen but be forced to transform.
She pondered her latest speculation over and over again, and now it all made sense.
Would not knowing about his daughter's existence before reduce the sense of betrayal that Jiang Shen brought to her loyal fan?
no!
Having a child without telling his fans and his girlfriend and having a child without anyone knowing, these two things are essentially the same!
They all can't control their lower bodies! I’m sorry to the fans!
Ren Fenghe was still angry, gritting his teeth and trying to pull his hand back.
But when she thought about how the bathing incident was all thanks to Jiang Shen’s help, she looked at Jiang Shen’s expectant eyes.
She still held back her anger and nodded forcedly.
That's it! After nodding this head, the favor of taking a bath is complete!
She is going to take revenge on the person who betrayed her fans!
Jiang Shen didn’t know what Ren Fenghe was thinking. In his eyes, she was just an introverted and reserved little girl. After he finished speaking, her cheeks turned red (because she was angry), her eyes became bright (because she was angry), and then she nodded.
Jiang Shen rubbed Ren Fenghe's head and said, "The range hood has been turned off, the meal should be ready, let's go, I'll carry you to the chair."
