Chapter 54: Children's Disco
Ren Fenghe stared at his hat eagerly, curiously wanting to know where he was going to take her.
Jiang Shen held her cautiously as he walked, keeping an eye on her hands at all times.
Knowing her, he knew she would probably just reach out and knock his hat off.
Ren Fenghe noticed his gaze and curled his lips.
Things are different now. After entering the mysterious room, she has changed her mind and no longer seeks revenge.
If she would provoke Jiang Shen again, it was purely because Jiang Shen provoked her first.
Ren Fenghe put his eager hands into his pockets, looked around, and asked, "Are we going to your workplace?"
Isn’t this familiar road that I walk almost every day the only way to get to the studio?
"Yes, go to the practice room." Jiang Shen gave the answer.
When she arrived at Jiang Shen’s studio, she put Ren Fenghe down.
At this time, Ren Fenghe's eyes and nose were no longer red, and they returned to normal.
She changed her shoes and walked to the practice room as if she knew the way.
When I pushed open the door of the practice room, what came into view was the camera fixed on a tripod.
This camera has always had its display screen facing the practice room and its camera facing the wall.
The only time the camera was pointed at the practice room was when Ren Fenghe was doing the first jump and Jiang Shen was teaching her the basic moves.
She still remembered that Jiang Shen was hiding behind the camera and laughing wildly.
The camera was never turned on again after that, and was pointed back at the wall.
Ren Fenghe walked to the camera and guessed how Jiang Shen wanted to verify whether his panic disorder had improved.
In addition to recording songs in the studio, Jiang Shen also said that he would feel uncomfortable when the camera was pointed at him.
During this period, Ren Fenghe used Jiang Shen's tablet to search for many stories about artists with panic disorders and how they felt when facing the camera.
They are afraid of the camera. The camera is like a pair of sharp eyes, staring at them closely, capturing any little moment of their misconduct and magnifying their small, insignificant mistakes.
Jiang Shen also came to the camera, turned it on and said, "There's still power."
Then he took a deep breath and slowly turned the camera around.
The camera, like a gun muzzle, was pointed at his lowered face.
He pressed the record button and a small red dot lit up in the camera, like a laser aimed at him.
His breathing became disordered for a moment and he licked his lips subconsciously.
Ren Fenghe felt her palms were sweating. She rubbed her hands on the crotch of her pants twice, ready to turn the camera back at any time.
Jiang Shen took two steps back and stood in the middle of the practice room.
His figure fits completely into the frame of the camera screen.
This ability to skillfully control the distance between oneself and the camera is amazing.
He lowered his head, and it was unclear what he was thinking, and he seemed to be avoiding looking into the camera's eyes.
After a while, he took out his cell phone from his pocket.
The live broadcast with the sound turned off was still playing. He glanced at the time and soon it was time for his teammates to go on stage.
He didn't want to miss his teammate's performance, so without hesitation, he controlled his phone to connect to the speaker and slid his finger across the screen, looking for the song he wanted to play.
The rhythmic music echoed in the practice room.
Jiang Shen was listening to the music. If it were usual, he could dance along at any time.
However, when he thought of the red dot in the camera, which was smaller than a grain of rice but could not be ignored, he felt like he was petrified, unable to raise his hands or legs.
Completely frozen.
He always felt that the camera was staring at him with a scrutinizing, critical eye.
This gaze split into two, then four, and multiplied instantly. Almost instantly, thousands of eyes were staring at him.
He yelled in his mind, “Stop looking!”
But what was reflected in reality was his pale face.
Ren Fenghe looked at his face which turned pale in an instant and her heart was in her throat.
He stood in the middle of the practice room. The practice room was not big, but it seemed particularly empty at this moment.
He was all alone and lonely.
But Ren Fenghe slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene of him looking up as if drowning on a snowy night and him at this moment appeared in her mind alternately.
His condition doesn't look good, but compared to that time, he has made great progress.
Therefore, he will definitely be able to return to the stage he loves.
Ren Fenghe was so sure.
Ren Fenghe stood next to the tripod, staring at the stiff Jiang Shen.
She walked over, her small figure filling the empty space around him.
She grasped his fingers.
"Can I dance with you?"
She clenched her hands and shook his arm vigorously.
Jiang Shen looked at her in a daze.
Ren Fenghe looked straight at him.
There were no other eyes around, only hers.
No scrutiny, no malice.
The look she gave him was calm and natural.
Seeing that he hadn't reacted yet, Ren Fenghe decided to be a little naughty. At this moment, even a speechless and depressed reaction would be a good reaction.
She grabbed his hands with each hand, used the force to jump, and her whole body was suspended in the air, like a swing.
The sudden weight forcibly pulled Jiang Shen out of the world full of gazes.
The weight caused some discomfort in his shoulders, but the discomfort reassured him.
"Take me with you to dance?" Ren Fenghe saw him come back to his senses and asked again with a grin.
Jiang Shen pulled her up and down like he was pulling a dumbbell, which made her giggle.
"What kind of dance requires your partner to hang on you like this?" Jiang Shen said.
Ren Fenghe straightened his curled legs, dropped his feet back to the ground, and loosened his hands.
Then, like the little princess in the movie, she raised one hand and looked up at Jiang Shen, her meaning was very clear.
Jiang Shen looked at her proud little expression which she had learned from somewhere, and suddenly he smiled, and his tense muscles relaxed.
No, she was more like a little knight than a little princess, protecting him with her little strength and little heart.
Then he also stretched out a hand and held this hand like the old king in the movie.
Their starting movements were well-organized, but when they started dancing, it was a mess. It didn't feel like dancing at all. They were just moving her around aimlessly without any rules.
The music on the phone switched to the next song, which was an electronic dance music with a strong sense of rhythm.
This made the little girl who wanted to dance with him even crazier.
She let go of Jiang Shen's hand, jumped up and down in place to the music, her head swaying to the rhythm, her hair flying all over the place, covering her face.
"Are you dancing?" Jiang Shen felt helpless.
Ren Fenghe would not answer this question. She is a child, how would she know what disco dancing is, right?
"Jump up! Jump up!" said Ren Fenghe.
Jiang Shen was forced to dance along, but how could he have ever danced to such a "children's version of disco"? At first she was a little hesitant to let go, but as she danced, the curve of her mouth unconsciously deepened, and a bright smile appeared in her eyes.
"Jump up! Jump higher!" Ren Fenghe was dissatisfied with his perfunctory actions. He could jump three feet high at the concert, so why was he so stingy now?
Jiang Shen was even more helpless. He said, "If you jump again, people downstairs will complain."
As soon as the words fell, fireworks outside the window to welcome the New Year exploded again. Strings of flames soared into the sky, dazzling and blooming with dazzling colors in the night sky. Looking out from the long horizontal windows of the practice room, the entire sky is rendered in incredibly gorgeous colors.
Ren Fenghe looked at the fireworks outside the window, her eyes full of colorful lights. She raised her voice excitedly and said, "Now we can dance to our heart's content!"
Jiang Shen had no choice but to cooperate and dance along with her.
The moment he jumped up, his peripheral vision swept across the camera on the tripod.
He took a deep breath and turned to look directly at the camera.
The round camera that originally resisted him now seemed to have turned into the barrel of a firework, and the red indicator light was the firework that was about to rush into the night sky.
When he looked directly into the camera, he still felt a little uncomfortable, but holding his hand gave him the courage to look straight ahead.
The owner of this hand was tired of dancing and finally stopped.
She panted and said, "We have to stop for a while. It's a waste of time to jump out of the sweat bath."
Jiang Shen pointed out the window and said, "Do you want to see the fireworks closer?"
Ren Fenghe nodded.
They walked to the window, but Ren Fenghe was too short, and when he stood in front of the window his view was blocked by the wall.
Jiang Shen bent down, picked her up, and gently placed her on the training bar against the wall.
After sitting down, her height was just level with the window, and she could finally see the fireworks outside clearly.
She knew that Jiang Shen would protect her and would not let her fall, so she sat on the bar with peace of mind, swinging her legs slightly, and immersed in the gorgeous night.
The colorful light of the fireworks reflected on her face, giving her expression a hint of color.
The camera in the corner was still on, quietly recording the two people standing, sitting, and resting while watching the fireworks.
Beneath the noisy fireworks, there is an extremely peaceful heart.
Suddenly, Jiang Shen said, "Do you remember that I promised to take you out to play?"
Ren Fenghe was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him.
Of course she remembered that the night before she and Jiang Qian went to the amusement park, he saw that she was very excited and took the initiative to promise to take her out to play in the future.
But she didn't really believe that this promise could be fulfilled, so she didn't take it seriously and had long forgotten about it.
Now that he mentioned it, I remembered it again.
She nodded: "Remember."
Jiang Shen smiled softly and said, "Tomorrow is the first day of the Chinese New Year. Let's go out and play."
Ren Fenghe was stunned.
Are you really going out to play? When taking his children out, isn’t he afraid of being photographed by passers-by or fans?
Seeing that Ren Fenghe was not as excited as he expected, Jiang Shen thought that she didn't want to go out, so he hesitated and said, "Don't you want to go out and play?"
Ren Fenghe quickly shook his head and said, "Yes!"
"But...where are we going to play?" she paused and continued.
Jiang Shen said, "I can't take you to the amusement park, how about we go to the beach?"
Ren Fenghe analyzed quickly.
During the Chinese New Year, there are fewer people in the city, and most people go back to their hometowns. Most people who stay here will visit relatives and friends or watch Spring Festival movies on the first day of the new year. Although the weather is getting warmer, it is still chilly, and generally no one would choose to go to the beach at this time.
She concluded that there was a risk, but it was not significant.
So he nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
She had gone out to play only a few times since she came here, and when she thought about going to the beach tomorrow, she immediately became excited and started chattering about it.
"Can I bring snacks? I want to eat in the car!"
"Is it a beach with a sandy beach? Can you build a sandcastle? Can you help me build a castle?"
Jiang Shen couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he listened to her excited voice. He agreed to everything she said.
As they were talking excitedly, Ren Fenghe suddenly caught a glimpse of his woolen hat.
When he was dancing wildly with her just now, his hat had unconsciously slipped up a little due to the violent movements, revealing his hair that had been covered all day.
She stared at the top of his head and suddenly burst out laughing.
Jiang Shen was still thinking about what to do for tomorrow when he heard Ren Fenghe's laughter.
He asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
Ren Fenghe didn't answer, just shook his head.
Jiang Shen is actually very easy to understand, Ren Fenghe thought.
