Cannon Fodder Fake Master Was Stunned After Being Reborn - CH 61.2

In the evening, everyone finally finished their farewell dinner. Since many of them have busy schedules, their planes were basically only a few hours away. The crew was kind enough to lend them the staff’s car to escort them all to the airport.

Shen Xingsui was checking his luggage when he happened to see Fu Jinxiao coming from the direction of the manor, followed by his assistant. He greeted both of them from afar. Despite the distance, Fu Jinxiao seemed to have noticed him.

This wasn’t at all different from their usual interaction.

But then, Fu Jinxiao walked towards him.

Shen Xingsui didn’t know what to do. His heart was painfully tightened up, and he had to scrape every bit of courage he had to say, “T-teacher Fu.”

Fu Jinxiao stopped in his tracks, and the night covered up his slight fond smile. He looked handsome as usual as he lightly responded, “What’s the matter?”

Shen Xingsui became even more nervous. He held the handle of his suitcase, lowered his head, and faltered, “It’s okay, I just want to say, uhm… be careful on the road.”

Fu Jinxiao replied, “Well, you should also be careful. Have you booked your flight ticket? If not, I will ask my assistant to book it for you.”

Shen Xingsui quickly said, “Okay, okay, everything is okay.”

Shen Xingchen leaned over from the side, “Fu-ge, why don’t you ask me if I have ordered it, and ask your assistant to give me one too?”

“You?” Fu Jinxiao glanced at him, and coolly deflected the young master, “Is there any need to worry about you? Even if the flight tickets are sold out today, you can just go back with the overnight train.”

Shen Xingchen, who had been bothered by the evil mosquitoes for a week, was unable to refute.

The car just arrived, Shen Xingchen got into the car quickly, and Shen Xingsui was left standing outside. He looked at Fu Jinxiao, hesitating to speak. After this… could he easily meet Fu Jinxiao again?

He wanted to take another look. He was very reluctant to leave.

Fu Jinxiao glanced at him and said, “Why don’t you get in the car?”

Shen Xingsui came back to his senses, and he hurriedly nodded. Then, he slowly climbed into the car.

As he sat, he lowered his window. After staring at Fu Jinxiao, he finally said, “When are you leaving?”

Fu Jinxiao was in the mood to tease this little rabbit. “Why? Do you want me to leave immediately?”

Shen Xingsui blushed and shook his head, “No, I just want to ask.”

Fu Jinxiao saw this very cute flustered appearance. He had to squashed down his smile. “I’ll leave later. Don’t worry about my flight being late. Is there anything else you want to tell me?”

Shen Xingsui thought for a while, and shook his head slightly as if there was nothing wrong.

Fu Jinxiao curled his lips, “But I have.”

Shen Xingsui was taken aback.

The actor took two steps forward, inching closer, but also making Shen Xingsui’s sanity go under. Somehow, Shen Xingsui felt he couldn’t run away. Fu Jinxiao deliberately leaned over, his face only a hair’s breadth away from the youth. With his low and magnetic voice, he gave the youth a parting word:

“When you go back, remember to open the gift that the director sent you.”

Jian Xingsui: “?!”

After throwing this sentence, Movie Emperor Fu turned around and left in a snappy manner, leaving behind the dumbfounded youth in the car.

His mind has been blank ever since. Now he’s boarding on his flight. During the flight, he couldn’t sleep very well. His mind was filled with the thoughts of the gift.

‘Did Fu Jinxiao choose me? Was it really me? Could it be me? The selection criteria for this gift is… your most favorite person or the person you’re closest with.’

Shen Xingsui felt that he couldn’t restrain his joy. While rationally reminding himself not to be delusional, he couldn’t help but wonder if the actor might be interested in him. In the end, he was almost bewildered.

Shen Xingchen complained from the side, “What the hell have you been possessed with?”

Shen Xingsui: “…Nothing.”

“You laugh, then you frown, and then you giggled. All within the span of five minutes,” Then, something hit Shen Xingchen. With a note of disbelief, he mumbled, “C-could it be that, you…”

Shen Xingsui became a little shy. “I…”

Shen Xingchen clapped his hands, “Aha! Your stomach must be hurt!”

“…”

Let’s stop here.

After the plane arrived at the airport, the sky had already brightened up. After getting off the plane with the people in front, they crossed the corridor to the outside. Originally, Shen Xingsui wanted to ask Shen Xingchen on how they’re going to home. But at the exit, he saw three familiar people waiting for them.

Xu Enzhen stood in the middle, sandwiched by the tall and looming Shen Yong and Shen Minglang.

Shen Xingsui opened his eyes in surprise, and subconsciously called out, “Mom?”

Xu Enzhen also saw her youngest son. She opened her arms wide and happily rushed over, “Suisui!”

Shen Xingsui returned her hug. He said with joy and surprise coloring his voice, “Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be working now? You all… aren’t busy?”

“No matter how busy we are, we will come to pick you up.” Xu Enzhen reached out and touched her son’s head. She gently ruffled the sleep-mussed hair, “You two must be tired. Let’s go home.”

Shen Xingchen said from his brother’s side, “Mom, didn’t you watch the broadcast? Fu-ge and I made sure Suisui won’t be bullied! We made sure he ate all his meals and did not lose any weight. No need to worry!”

After hearing this, Xu Enzhen was very touched. “Xiao Fu is really reliable.”

“?”

Then, the young master shouted, “Hey! It’s also thanks to my care, okay?”

“…It’s good if you don’t make trouble for everyone.” Xu Enzhen sighed. “But, I really have to thank you, Xingchen. You have worked hard.”

Shen Xingchen hugged Shen Minglang tightly. He whined to his own older brother, “Dage! Look, Mom is cruel to me!!”

Shen Minglang quietly commented, “I think Mom is right.”

Shen Xingchen immediately threw himself on Shen Yong instead, “Dad, look at them!”

Shen Yong pushed his glasses, then turned his head sideways, pointing on the car. “Everyone, let’s get into the car first. We’ll talk about this later.”

“…?”

Along the way, Xu Enzhen sat in the back seat and dragged Shen Xingsui and Shen Xingchen to chat about family affairs. After a while, she asked how life was in the program group, did they suffer any grievances, and basically, being a concerned mother worrying about her sons who just came back from a boarding school.

This was something that Shen Xingsui had always envied others before.

When he was in school, the Jian patriarch never picked him up. Even that time when it rained hard, the family driver’s car broke down, and it was difficult to get a taxi. He came home in the rain, but the man didn’t ask any more questions.

He never longed for overwhelming wealth and power.

He only wanted to have a warm harbor, the kind that could shelter a weary ship with care.

After returning home, Shen Xingsui was even more shocked when he entered the door.

There was actually a red banner hanging in the living room, which read: [Congratulations to Xingshen and Suisui for the successful completion of their first reality show since debut! Wishing for the brothers to have a bright future!]

When she entered the door, Auntie Wu even put up a colorful flower in cooperation. The myriad festive petals fluttered all over the room. Some other servants – the gardener and the driver – also applauded and even put on a party hat.

Shen Xingsui was stunned.

Shen Xingchen next to him pinched his waist and smiled triumphantly, “The banner is well written this time. But of course, how could the reality show we participated in not go well?”

Xu Enzhen chuckled as she applauded. “Yes yes, you and Suisui are both amazing. Your first-ever reality show is a smashing success.”

Shen Xingsui was a little embarrassed by this excessive praise. “It’s all thanks to everyone’s hard work.”

“You’re a huge part of its success.” Xu Enzhen patted Shen Xingsui’s back. “You’re great. You even won first place several times in games. Suisui, you are amazing.”

Shen Xingchen cheerfully fished for praise, “Mom, Mom. Did you see how handsome I was when chopping firewoods? Hey, even the canteen aunties praised me, saying that I have talent and style.”

Shen Minglang interjected immediately, “You sure it’s because of you? If you’re swapped with Wang-ge1not really someone with the surname Wang, but more “if you are swapped with random-ass person”, who butchers pigs and chops firewood, I bet that auntie will say the same.”

Shen Xingchen complained, “You’re just jealous of me.”

Shen Minglang snorted.

Then, they fought, as usual. At least it only liven things up further.

Looking at the banners and ribbons, this was the first time that Shen Xingsui felt such a feeling of being recognized by his family. In the past, every tiny mistake would be magnified until he was beyond ashamed of himself. But now, he was loved even if he was very ordinary. If anything, they were always proud of him.

Slowly, Shen Xingsui suddenly understood why Shen Xingchen had such a good personality.

Because he grew up in such a healthy and affirmed environment since he was a child. This was what he once dreamed of, but at this moment, it has come true like this. The dream is so beautiful that he can’t even believe it.

Xu Enzhen even showed him a mysterious smile, “Suisui, come with me.”

Shen Xingsui didn’t expect there to be something else.

He followed his mother from the dining room to the first floor, then entering a room there. The room was spacious, with wide, floor-length windows that let sunlight in. The elegant white curtains fluttered gently as the wind passed by.

In the center of the room, a black grand piano majestically stood. It was huge, and Shen Xingsui recognized the brand. This beautiful musical instrument was beyond expensive.

Xu Enzhen walked in with a smile and said, “We have all seen the broadcast. Chenchen likes to dance since he was a child, so there are not many musical instruments at home. But we all saw you playing the piano on the show, and we all thought it was very, very nice. Your Dad, Minglang, and I have discussed it, and we all support you in your pursuit of music. We didn’t know anything about it however, so we can only help you by buying you what you need. I… chose this piano for you, I hope you like it, my dear.”

The piano was bathed in the sunlight, and the reflection looked like a glimmering crystal.

Shen Xingsui stared blankly as his heart was overwhelmed. He took a deep breath, trying to cool down his burning heart.

With trembling lips, he tried to speak steadily. He looked at Xu Enzhen and said, “Thank you Mom. I, I like it very much, really, really like it! “

Only then did Xu Enzhen show a reassuring smile, and came over to give the child a hug.

Shen Yong, who actually was trailing from behind, glanced at the mother and son pair. He added, “I have already contacted someone to help you with your composition. It is a relatively reliable and well-known music team. If you release an album in the future, you can use this channel to help you with the distribution or arrangement or such.”

Shen Xingsui almost couldn’t believe it. He looked at his father in shock, and stammered, “R-really? It’s possible…. Album, my album?”

Shen Yong nodded. “Of course.”

Shen Xingsui has been writing songs since before his rebirth. He had a dream of releasing his own album. But now… that dream could be realized soon. Not only that, he would have an excellent music team to help him with the production process.

Looking at his father, Shen Xingsui was so excited that he didn’t know what to say, so he took a few deep breaths, and then said softly in front of the man: “Thank you…Dad, I will definitely work hard!”

Shen Yong looked at his well-behaved little son, a smile appeared on his usually serious face. “No need to put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best.”

Shen Xingsui showed a shy smile.

Shen Minglang next to Shen Yong was short of breath.

The moment he saw his parents taking Suisui somewhere, he ditched Xingchen and followed them.

Never in his life he thought that his parents were insidious.

He was the one who bought the piano! He was the one who searched and contacted the music team! His parents might have thought the original idea, but this was all his hard work!! They just stole his credit like that??

Damn it, it’s hard to guard against the thieves who lived in the same house!!
