Chapter 94: Surprise
The paper-cut sign placed on the ground pointed to Jiang Shen's cloakroom.
Ren Fenghe scratched her head, not understanding how such a thing could appear in her house when she was just taking a nap.
She followed the sign and pushed open the cloakroom door.
There was an extra chair in the middle of the cloakroom with a mobile phone on it, but other than that there was nothing different.
Ren Fenghe looked around, wondering if Jiang Shen was hiding in the cloakroom, secretly conducting some hidden camera test.
Aren’t there a lot of these on the Internet?
For example, put a cake in front of a child, then the adult tells the child that he or she is leaving and asks the child to wait for the adult to come back before eating the cake together, in order to test the child's self-control.
Maybe Jiang Shen just gave her a test on a whim to see if she would touch his things randomly, so as to measure her quality.
Ren Fenghe walked to the chair and sat down facing it.
She was not well-educated, so she tried to push the chair.
As the chair moved, the phone screen lit up.
The moment she saw the wallpaper on her phone, Ren Fenghe knew that this was not the aptitude test she had imagined.
On the chair was the mobile phone that Jiang Shen bought for her, and she picked it up.
After swiping the screen, a music player software appears.
There are two songs in it.
There were no song titles for either song, just numbers.
Seeing that there were two songs in the list and thinking about the sign she saw when she got up, Ren Fenghe began to doubt Jiang Shen's intention of taking her to buy a cake.
They said they bought a cake to celebrate Grandma Miao's new life, but the cake was the one she liked and she couldn't see the other blessings on the cake. The sign was something she would find when she woke up and went out, and the phone on the chair was hers.
Moreover, Jiang Shen wrote two songs for her while she was living in Zhang Tuanyuan's body.
Ren Fenghe clicked on the first song.
The song that she and Jiang Shen recorded in the music studio some time ago was saved in her mobile phone after post-production.
Ren Fenghe listened to the song which lasted more than three minutes attentively, with a slight smile on his face.
After three minutes, it automatically jumps to the next song.
The song begins with the sound of rain, and after the sound of rain, Jiang Shen's voice naturally blends in.
Ren Fenghe was stunned.
When she listened to this song in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, there was only the accompaniment, no vocals in it.
She had no idea when Jiang Shen wrote the lyrics or when he recorded the audio.
Is this a parting gift?
In order to record this song that would desensitize her to rain as a gift to her at this moment, he mustered up the courage to step into the recording studio again.
Ren Fenghe sat cross-legged on the ground with his hands folded on the chair, his cheek resting on his hands, looking at the phone playing music in front of him, slowly closing his eyes and concentrating on listening to the lyrics.
Jiang Shen is very good at writing this kind of quiet lyrical music, and he sings it as if it were a whisper.
This feeling was like a gentle hand soothing her back, making her feel peaceful inside.
After listening to the two songs, Ren Fenghe made a decision.
Jiang Shen might not publish these two songs. After she left, these two songs would never be heard again, so she had to keep them secretly.
Anyway, it was written for her and she won’t tell anyone else!
Ren Fenghe looked around guiltily, confirming that there was really no one and no camera, then quickly downloaded a network disk to his phone and saved the song.
Then uninstall the network disk, perfect!
She picked up her phone and walked out again.
When she passed the mysterious room, she found a picture on the door.
In the painting, a little girl is pushing the door hard.
Ren Fenghe looked at the painting and chuckled twice. One could tell at a glance that the style of the painting was from Miao Qingqing's hand.
Now she understood completely that everything she saw now was a surprise prepared for her by everyone, or a farewell gift.
Ren Fenghe carefully took down the painting and removed the masking tape on it.
With a phone in one hand and a drawing in the other, she walked into the mysterious room.
The smell of letters mixed with perfume hit me again.
There was still a chair there, with something on it.
Looking at the wrapped gift on the chair, Ren Fenghe pursed her lips, and the clock of separation was clearly counting down in her mind.
She didn't rush to open the presents, but looked around.
Looking at the letter after letter in the drawer, she thought for a moment, ran back to her room, came back with paper and pen, and remembered to close the door vigilantly.
She used the chair as a table and leaned over to write what she wanted to say on the paper.
She was afraid of being exposed when using a pencil, so she took a black pen and controlled her soft child's hands. She wrote the letter carefully, stroke by stroke, trying to make the handwriting as close to that of an adult as possible.
I quickly finished writing what I wanted to write. In fact, they were all the words that fans often say, expressing their gratitude and wishes.
Ren Fenghe focused on the last line.
"Thank you for your company during this period. Your presence fills a lot of gaps in my life and gives me great strength."
This is a sentence that fans often say, but for Ren Fenghe, it has a different meaning.
She folded the letter, found a drawer, and put it among countless other letters.
When she pushed the drawer back, her letter disappeared like a drop of water in the ocean.
And she will also change from being "Yuanyuan" in Jiang Shen's mouth to being "fans" in Jiang Shen's mouth.
Ren Fenghe stood there in a daze, feeling her mood at the moment with all his heart.
It’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad, it seems a bit empty, but that kind of emptiness can also be called calm and relaxed, like a gust of wind blowing into a plastic bag, inflating the bag and then running away.
Ren Fenghe sighed heavily, relaxed his shoulders and thoracic spine, and walked to the gift.
She unwrapped the gift and opened the box.
Inside was a glass ball as big as her face and a few wishing tickets.
Ren Fenghe looked at the glass ball with amusement.
It seems that boys think that girls will find things like glass balls and music boxes beautiful and dreamy, and that girls will definitely like them, so they give them to girls as gifts.
As an adult, Ren Fenghe is not very interested in these things. However, she is a child now, so it’s not that she can’t like them a little.
She picked up the huge glass ball and shook it twice.
As it shook, the crystal ball where a city was located became different. A sky full of white fluttering clouds appeared in the entire glass ball. It was snow.
Looking at the heavy snow and snowflakes flying all over the sky, Ren Fenghe realized why Jiang Shen gave her the crystal ball.
She thought back to the first time she saw snow.
She waited until the snowflakes fell gently back to the ground and the world in the glass ball returned to its original state before she picked up the wishing ticket next to it.
There are five wishing tickets in total, two of which are meeting wishing tickets. The dates on them are left blank, as if once the person filling out the ticket writes down the date, he will overcome all difficulties and appear in front of the person filling out the ticket on the agreed date.
The other three are gift wishing coupons.
Ren Fenghe took Miao Qingqing's painting, crystal ball and wishing ticket back to his room.
She couldn't take these things away, so she left them to Zhang Tuanyuan.
There shouldn't be any other surprises next, right?
Ren Fenghe walked out again with anticipation.
The corridor was still quiet, without any sound, which made people wonder if they had gone out.
There are many more balloons in the living room. There are balloons with the number "5" written on the wall, colorful balloons on the ground, and helium balloons on the ceiling. There were a lot of snacks piled on the coffee table that Ren Fenghe had to beg for, almost as high as a small mountain.
Is today Yuanyuan’s birthday? Looking at the number balloon, Ren Fenghe glanced at the date on the clock.
Yuanyuan’s birthday is so close to her birthday.
Ren Fenghe was a little surprised because her birthday was exactly a week later.
There was no one in the living room, only the kitchen was left.
Ren Fenghe walked to the kitchen.
The kitchen door is as soundproof as ever, and you can't hear anything from outside.
She quietly opened the kitchen door a little, and the sound instantly came out.
"The last dish, done!" Ms. Miao said with full energy.
She peered through the small slit.
She seemed to have gotten up at just the right time. Ms. Miao was plating the last dish and said, "Qingqing will probably be here soon."
Jiang Shen was squatting in front of a white double-decker cart, decorating the cart with beautiful and realistic artificial flowers and bows.
There is also a gift box on the lower level of the cart.
"I'll be ready soon. I'll wake Yuanyuan up when I'm done," Jiang Shen said.
"Thank goodness she fell asleep, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get so many things in that short time." Ms. Miao said, looking at the cart he decorated.
Jiang Shen smiled and said, "I've thought about this. Originally, I was going to ask you to take her around the neighborhood. I lied to her and said I had to buy some time to prepare a surprise for you."
Ms. Miao's eyes almost slit from laughing. She said, "Children are so easy to fool."
Looking at the two people in the kitchen who were preparing a surprise for her with sweat on their foreheads, Ren Fenghe was so moved that her mouth pursed. She closed the kitchen door again, ran back to her room and pretended to sleep.
This was a surprise, and she had to pretend she didn't know.
But Ren Fenghe, who was pretending to be asleep, forgot one very important thing.
She took the phone and the gift back to her room, and anyone could guess that she was awake and pretending to be asleep.
When Jiang Shen walked towards Ren Fenghe's room, he looked at the two rooms with open doors and the empty chairs in the rooms, and suddenly laughed out loud.
He came to Ren Fenghe's room, knocked on the door twice symbolically and said, "Yuanyuan, come out when you wake up?"
When Ren Fenghe heard Jiang Shen's words, he knew that he had been exposed.
She got up awkwardly and saw something on the bedside. Then she remembered that although she was ready for her acting, the props on the set were not put back in place!
She pretended not to be asleep, pretended nothing had happened, opened the door very naturally, and waved her hand and said "Hi".
Jiang Shen looked at her like this, holding back his laughter, and said, "It seems you know everything."
Ren Fenghe stated his position: "I understand, but we have to follow the process!"
Jiang Shen made an "OK" gesture: "Then go back to your room and wait for me to call you."
Jiang Shen returned to the kitchen and put the cake on the cart. After pushing the cart to the living room, he knocked on Ren Fenghe's door again, poked his head in, and said, still trying not to laugh, "Yuanyuan, are you awake?"
Ren Fenghe didn't even go back to bed, but stood behind the door.
She and Jiang Shen made eye contact, and both couldn't hold back their laughter.
Ms. Miao also came out and looked at the two people laughing foolishly. She also laughed: "What are you two doing? Come out quickly, or the food will get cold."
The two nodded repeatedly, and Ms. Miao said, "Yuanyuan, let us wish you a happy birthday in advance."
Jiang Shen also said: "Although it's a week early, happy birthday."
A week early?
It is normal for children not to know when their birthday is, so Ren Fenghe asked openly, "When is my birthday?"
Jiang Shen mentioned a date.
What a coincidence! She and Yuanyuan have the same birthday!
"Open the gift box." Jiang Shen said.
Ren Fenghe's eyes were still fixed on the blessing on the cake.
She picked a cream chocolate cake with black and white stripes and a panda fondant on it. The greeting card was placed right next to the panda, making it look like the panda was holding a billboard.
The greeting was written very simply, and in very Jiang Shen’s style. It only said - Let’s play together in the future!
It’s more of a promise than a blessing.
Ren Fenghe withdrew his gaze from the blessing and looked at the gift box below.
She squatted in front of the gift box and opened it. It was a princess jewelry set, including a small crown, ear clips, a necklace and a fairy wand. Each item was inlaid with pink gems, which were sparkling and shining brightly under the light.
Ren Fenghe immediately opened his mouth and exclaimed "Wow".
She loves cute sparkly things like this!
This can be seen from the fact that the clothes she chose are all colors like sky blue and light yellow.
Ren Fenghe couldn't help but say, "Your aesthetic taste is finally normal for once!"
Jiang Shen scratched his face and muttered, "Is your aesthetic different from that of normal children?"
Ren Fenghe ignored his mumbling. She asked Ms. Miao next to her to help her put on the three-piece suit. Then she raised her fairy wand, waved it at the dining table, jumped twice excitedly and said, "Let's clean the table quickly, wait for Aunt Qingqing to come, and then we'll have dinner and cake!"
"Not bad. You know you have to eat before you can eat cake." Jiang Shen rubbed Ren Fenghe's head.
Soon, Miao Qingqing also arrived. As soon as she arrived, she started rubbing the baby fat cheeks of Ren Fenghe, who had transformed into a little princess, until her cheeks became rosy.
