Chapter 23: Preparing Gifts
Even the director of the command room was taken aback by Jiang Chen.
No matter how early He Tian was, he was just a child, and tears suddenly fell from his eyes. Soon she began to whimper quietly, her big eyes closed, but she couldn't hold back her crying.
Jiang Chen's purpose was obviously achieved, but he didn't expect little Lori to cry.
In his impression, little Lori is bold, and the first ghost story didn't scare little Lori, so there's no reason to be scared by the second ghost story.
Jiang Chen looked at He Tian and sobbed in a low voice, and a sense of guilt surged in his heart.
Is he going too far?
Jiang Chen is very small, and adults only treat him as a child. He also thinks that children are naΓ―ve and can't fit into the world of children. The only one who can get along is He Tian.
Subconsciously, Jiang Chen didn't treat He Tian as a normal child, and when he was bored, he teased He Tian with a game mentality. Jiang Chen seemed to have forgotten that He Tian was just a child.
"He Tian, don't cry."
Jiang Chen felt that he was a little excessive.
He Tian pursed his lips and stared at Jiang Chen, his eyelashes like butterfly wings were filled with teardrops, and his slender fingers wiped the tears on his face. She was terrified, her legs were weak, her hands were shaking, and the darkness around her and the wind of the night frightened her, as if she had swallowed everything.
"I promise not to scare you with ghost stories anymore."
Jiang Chen looked at He Tian very seriously, and decided in his heart that he would try to provoke children as little as possible, focus his energy on other places, and wait for them to grow up with peace of mind.
He Tian ignored Jiang Chen, puffed out his cheeks, and turned away with sparkling eyes.
At this moment, Mr. Huo Zi'an came here with a photographer, and when he saw He Tian crying, he was slightly startled, hugged Xiao He Tian, and said with concern: "Why is Xiao Tian crying?" β
He Tian hugged Huo Zi'an's neck, but didn't say anything about Jiang Chen, just whispered, "I miss my mother." β
"I'll call your mom later, okay?" Huo Zi'an comforted.
"Hmm."
He Tian's eyes shone and nodded slightly.
Jiang Chen was a little relieved to see that He Tian was not crying, and there was a trace of helplessness in his heart, he didn't expect the bold little Lori to have such a timid and weak side. However, there are other girls in the dormitory with her, and she should not be overly afraid at night, which causes her to be unable to sleep.
He no longer dared to tell ghost stories to children.
There was no way, he spoke so well that he casually talked about children until they cried.
β¦β¦
In the next few days, thanks to the credit of the ghost story, He Tian did not talk to Jiang Chen again.
The relationship between the two is naturally frozen.
Regarding He Tian, Jiang Chen was most impressed by the fact that her bright smiling face was like sunshine, as if exuding the fragrance of campus milk tea.
But in the past few days, He Tian's smile has disappeared. She no longer dared to be alone at night, apparently already having a shadow over the ghost. But little Lori didn't say a word, refusing to tell anyone that she was afraid of ghosts, and as a result, it became quieter and quieter.
Sure enough, little Lori needs to be cared for in order to bloom a beautiful smile.
Although Jiang Chen hoped that Lori had nothing to do with him at first, this kind of thing really happened, especially when he saw that He Tian, who was originally lively and cute, became quiet, and he still felt a little guilty in his heart.
That night, the scene of He Tian crying into tears was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Jiang Chen's purpose is just to be pure, not to make He Tian unhappy, but now that he is free, he spends a lot of time thinking about songs and reading, but is thinking about how to get He Tian out of the shadow of ghost stories.
Never mind.
Count him owing little Lori and find a way to help little Lori return to normal.
Time passed, Jiang Chen read books in the library every day, and Huo Zi'an came over on time to accompany him. Of course, it's better to say that it's companionship, but it's better to read books together.
Other children are learning games in the classroom, He Tian is still very active when there are many people, many people in the class like her and are elected as the class president, and the show is still being filmed in an orderly manner. The children are cute and cute, and most of the videos taken by the camera are useless clips, so the work is very tedious.
The program team was surprised that so far, the most interesting clip was the interaction between Jiang Chen and He Tian, but now He Tian is not playing with Jiang Chen, which makes the program team a little anxious.
A few days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the weekend, and the parents came to pick up their children home, and the filming of the show came to an end for the time being.
Jiang Chen also said goodbye to school, was led by Chi Haidong and walked home, thinking secretly in his heart, taking advantage of the weekend to buy some gifts for He Tian.
Really, he regretted instilling ghosts in He Tian.
Many people were scared by adults when they were young, and they didn't dare to sleep alone in junior high school, and they were afraid of the dark when they grew up. In order to make children well-behaved, it is not advisable for the previous generation to scare the next generation with ghost stories.
Now, Jiang Chen also realized this, worried that He Tian had depression or autism. A child's fear will be difficult to cure for a while, and it is necessary to find a way.
However, Jiang Chen was full of confidence, and he didn't think it was difficult, didn't he just want to make little Lori laugh?
Of course, this is definitely not to like Lori.
β¦β¦
When he arrived at home, the first thing Jiang Chen did was to check He Tian's information on the Internet, and found that there was very little information about He Tian's family on the Internet, the news of his parents was hidden, and the only thing he knew was that he was born in a single-parent family.
What is particularly worth paying attention to is that He Tian's information shows that he was born on September 9 and is a Virgo who pursues perfection.
"Wait a minute, it's He Tian's birthday in two days?"
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he just bought a doll as a birthday gift for He Tian. However, the dolls sold on the street are a bit expensive, and his pocket money is not enough to spend, so he has to find an opportunity to discuss with his mother.
Jiang Chen continued to browse the news.
The trailer of "First Grade" has been broadcast on TV stations, which has aroused the curiosity of many viewers, and the topic has become more and more hot on the Internet, most of whom are looking forward to the new show.
Jiang Chen found that he was on a hot topic, and he actually had some fans. However, the first episode will not be available until next Sunday's weekend.
Jiang Chen glanced at it casually and closed the webpage, not caring very much about what netizens thought.
β¦β¦
Most of the weekend, Jiang Chen spent most of his time with the piano, and Chi Haidong was particularly strict and did not complete the amount of practice, so Jiang Chen was not allowed to rest.
Every weekend afternoon, Chi Haidong would spend an hour or two taking the two brothers Jiang Hai and Jiang Chen to visit the bookstore to cultivate children's awareness of reading. Of course, the effect is still there, my brother Jiang Hai has successfully become obsessed with children's books, his imagination is getting richer and richer, and aliens rule the earth at every turn.
Jiang Chen was not interested in children's books, so he asked Chi Haidong to buy some famous books that only exist in this time and space, and prepared to take them to school to read.
Leaving the bookstore, Jiang Chen dragged Chi Haidong to the children's store and asked Chi Haidong to help him buy dolls.
Chi Haidong couldn't cry or laugh, and told Jiang Chen very patiently: "Dolls are played with by girls!" β
"It's not me playing, I'm giving it away. Mom, it's like overdrawing my pocket money. Jiang Chen explained.
When he went to elementary school, Chi Haidong began to give Jiang Chen pocket money, so Jiang Chen had a good reason.
Chi Haidong looked at his youngest son, his tone was full of curiosity, "Who do you want to give it to?" It can't be He Tian's child, right? β
"Hmm." Jiang Chen nodded helplessly.
"Good son, come on, you must become good friends with Xiao Tiantian, and find an opportunity to bring her to play at home." Chi Haidongte likes He Tian, he doesn't object at all, his face is full of bright light, "A doll is not enough, you have to take the initiative to talk to her, make her happy, and make her really like you." β
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes when he heard this, how could it be like, Chi Haidong couldn't wait to ask He Tian to be his daughter-in-law?
Mom also likes little Lori?
So, Chi Haidong happily agreed to buy the doll, and still bought the best one for Jiang Chen to give to He Tian.
ps: cough cough, I went to watch the party on New Year's Day~ Happy New Year.
