"But why did you reject his adoption in the first place?" Yin Chang wondered, "Aren't you father and son?"
Shao Junling was silent.
Yin Chang asked eagerly: "Or is it because he wants to give you as a 'gift' to me, and you don't want to?"
"No." Shao Junling lowered his head and answered softly, and immediately said, "I am willing."
Shao Junling has never resisted the reason of "gift", because in his opinion, only precious things can be called gifts. Likewise, he thinks his brother is also a gift from Uncle Yin.
Yin Chang thought that Shao Junling's "no" refuted his second question, and asked again, "Why?"
"At that time, I didn't know you, and I didn't know how you were." Shao Junling said.
"Why did you accept it later?" Yin Chang asked.
"Dad showed me your video." Shao Junling said.
"Video?" Yin Chang immediately remembered the childhood video clips he had accidentally opened before, "The ones when I was young?"
"Hmm..." Shao Junling thought of his elder brother in the video. At that time, his elder brother was still very young and very cute.
Yin Chang's face became hot: "Daddy even showed you that?"
Shao Junling lay on Yin Chang's body, recalling what Uncle Yin said when he watched the video with him.
- "If I give you to Xiao Chang as a 'gift', he must be very happy, you see, he has always wanted a younger brother... He will definitely treat you very well." Yin Dong's gentle expression and tone at that time, Shao Junling I haven't forgotten it until now.
It was at that moment that he decided to accept Yoon Dong for adoption.
He believed that such a gentle Uncle Yin would not be a bad person, so his brother must be very good.
Shao Junling stumbled and repeated these words to Yin Chang. It seemed that it took Yin Chang a century to digest the meaning of those words.
He had no doubts about Shao Junling's explanation.
At that moment, Yin Chang's body and mind seemed to be enveloped by a warm current, and all the grievances, resentments and sorrows were washed away that night...
It turned out that Yin Dong didn't deliberately conceal himself, he still loved him, even when he wanted to restore the parent-child relationship with Shao Junling, he always remembered that he wanted a younger brother, and tried his best to fulfill his wish.
It was him who had been mistaken for so long.
Yin Chang had mixed feelings in his heart, and by the time he realized it, Yin Chang had pressed Shao Junling's head to his heart again with moist eyes, and hugged him tightly with the other hand.
Although Shao Junling's identity is a mystery, it doesn't matter anymore.
This is... a present from his father.
And Shao Junling also knew this, no wonder he would angrily say that he didn't want him when he quarreled; no wonder Shao Junling would say "always be with him" in front of Yin Dong's grave when he went to visit Yin Dong's grave.
Thinking about it now, there seems to be a reasonable explanation for Shao Junling's childish and inexplicable words and deeds.
"Brother," Shao Junling rubbed his chest, muffled, "Happy birthday."
Shao Junling's tone was neither sad nor happy, but Yin Chang could hear the smell of attachment like never before.
Thanks, I'm happy now.
— Yin Chang held this "birthday gift" that was a year late, and said to Yin Dong in his heart.
***
Early the next morning, Yin Chang got up and went to the place designated by the program group to pick up breakfast.
On the road, I ran into a sleepy Huang Han, and Yin Chang greeted him warmly: "Hi~! Are you sleeping well?"
"That's it." Seeing Yin Chang's radiant face, Huang Han asked, "You seem to have slept well."
"No," Yin Chang smiled and said energetically, "I was a little sleepless last night."
Huang Han: "..." How can you tell that you have insomnia like this!
Yin Chang really suffered from insomnia. After chatting with Shao Junling last night, the little guy slept soundly next to him, but his heart was fluctuating and he couldn't sleep for a long time.
Wang Chen also appeared yawning, with hair like a chicken coop, he seemed to have completely given up image management.
"Wang Chen." Yin Chang called him.
As soon as Wang Chen raised his head, he saw Yin Chang smiling at himself, the smile was like a warm spring.
"Why?" He was a little confused by Yin Chang's appearance.
"The necklace you gave me is beautiful." Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, Yin Chang unwrapped all the presents from everyone and looked at them. "Huang Han, the teacup you gave is also very nice, thank you!"
Wang Chen & Huang Han: "..."
Yin Chang smiled and waved to them after receiving breakfast: "See you later."
Wang Chen asked Huang Han in a low voice: "Hey, do you feel that Yin Chang is different today?"
Huang Han: "Hmm! Yin Chang seems to be glowing today!"
Wang Chen said in his heart, that guy is shining every day, okay? ... Of course, he didn't want to admit it.
"I feel that he seems very happy and satisfied today!" Wang Chen emphasized.
Huang Han nodded: "Yes! He just told me that he had insomnia last night."
Wang Chen smiled and said, "We just celebrated his birthday together, why is he so touched?"
"Isn't his father something like that? Maybe he... lacks love?" Huang Han touched his chin and said with emotion, "I feel that we have done something very meaningful."
"Yes, is that so?" Wang Chen thought about it in a trance, and felt ecstatic.
When Yin Chang returned to his residence, Shao Junling was still sleeping.
In the past, Yin Chang regarded Shao Junling as his responsibility, and often found it troublesome to take care of this guy.
But because the words last night opened Yin Chang's heart knot, Yin Chang looked at Shao Junling differently.
Look at the way the little guy is sleeping on his back... so cute.
Seeing the painting that he threw at the foot of the bed last night, Yin Chang picked it up and looked at it again.
Shao Junling opened his eyes in a daze, and saw his brother sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the picture he had drawn for him and giggling.
Shao Junling: "..."
Seeing that he was awake, Yin Chang coughed lightly, put away the painting cherishingly, and greeted him, "It's breakfast."
Shao Junling got out of bed, went to the bathroom to wipe his face under Yin Chang's gaze, and when he came out, Yin Chang still looked at him with a half-smile.
Shao Junling got goose bumps all over his body, he moved to his brother's side, took a steamed bun from the table, turned and ran away.
Yin Chang: "...???"
Same as last time, I did some light tasks on the morning of the third day, and after eating, the shooting ended.
But before the end of this time, the program team called them one by one to the temporary recording studio, saying that they would conduct some supplementary interviews with them.
"What type of interview?" Yin Chang asked while sitting on a high chair.
"It's a supplementary question related to the previous episode." The staff laughed.
"Has the last issue been cut?"
"Well, just add a few short question interviews and the production will be finished. The show will start broadcasting on the third day after you go back, and you can watch the first episode at home then." After explaining the details, the staff said, "Then I'm going to start asking, some questions may come out of the blue, we'll film your reactions, please watch the camera."
Yin Chang smiled, thinking that it's not just that little thing, what else could be unexpected.
He faced the camera, calmly waiting for the staff to ask questions.
The staff flipped through the script and asked the first question: "The next morning in Shanding Village, you went to Huang Han's house to cook a bunch of corn. Do you know where those corns came from?"
Yin Chang was taken aback: "Didn't you give it to me?"
Seeing that he didn't know about it, the staff explained with a smile: "No, Shao Junling went out in the middle of the night to find it for you."
Yin Chang: "..."
Yin Chang raised his hand to block the camera: "Wait, let me take it easy!" He was a little uneasy, "Is this the task you gave him?"
Worker: "No, he went out to find it by himself. He was afraid that you would not have enough to eat, so he walked two miles while you were asleep, and went to the field to break ten stalks of corn."
Yin Chang frowned: "Why didn't he tell me?"
Staff member: "We will ask him this question later to see if he is willing to answer... I would like to know how you feel after learning about this incident."
"I..." Yin Chang held his forehead, "I'm shocked."
Staff: "Moved?"
Yin Chang: "...um."
That morning, he even divided the corn into Huang Han on his own initiative, remembering Shao Junling's expression at that time... Ah, no wonder Shao Junling called him "wasting" the day before yesterday.
The staff gestured to the photographer: "OK, this question is over, and the next question is ready."
The first question was so explosive that it made Yin Chang nervous. Could it be that there are so many things he doesn't know about
The staff continued: "You and Shao Junling took a lot of meal cards for the event that afternoon. Why did you invite Huang Han and You Luming to dinner instead of Qin Jingshan and the others?"
Yin Chang thought for a while before remembering this scene, and replied: "Wang Chen has already invited them."
Fortunately, the types of questions that followed were similar to what Yin Chang thought at first...
After he came out, Shao Junling went in instead. Yin Chang gave Shao Junling a complicated look at the door.
... Forget it, let's talk about it when we go back and watch the show.
At ten o'clock that night, Yin Chang and Shao Junling returned to Haicheng.
After I got home, I rested for a night. The next day, the staff in the group called everyone to go to Weibo to promote the launch of "Super Star Life".
Qin Jingshan noticed with sharp eyes: "Hey, Yin Chang, why did you change your WeChat avatar?"
Huang Han: "What have you changed?"
Wang Chen: "Graffiti? Who drew it?"
Yin Chang: "My brother painted a portrait for me. ^_^"
Wang Chen: "The painting is so ugly..."
Huang Han: "It's better than Xiaolu's painting! [like]"
Everyone: "..."
After Yin Chang retweeted the official V's promotion, the online response was fierce. Most of the fans and netizens expressed their support and expectation for him to bring Shao Junling to the variety show.
Of course, as expected, some vitriolic voices also appeared. They questioned the real purpose of him and Shao Junling participating in the variety show, thinking that they were only for fame and money.
Seeing such remarks before, Yin Chang would feel uncomfortable, because he was worried that Shao Junling would be criticized, and he was worried that he and Shao Junling would not get along well, so he looked forward and backward for this. But since the night of his birthday, he felt as if there had been a magical chemistry between them, something had changed.
This change further affected Yin Chang's mood and mentality, and gave him a lot of strength and courage.
He now even feels that it doesn't matter what outsiders say, as long as he and Shao Junling get along well.
Moreover, whenever Yin Chang sees Shao Junling recently, he will think "he is a gift", and his heart is full of joy.
Going to bed at night, he also began to enjoy the feeling of Shao Junling clinging to him... After all, the house is different from the countryside. There is an air conditioner in the house, so no matter how much Shao Junling pesters him, he won't feel hot.
Yin Chang even wanted to find an opportunity to chat and talk with Shao Junling more, to get to know him better.
It's a pity that he is still very busy with work, and once he returns to the city, he rushes around to make announcements without touching the ground.
It wasn't until the day when the variety show was about to start that he was free, went home early, had dinner, and stayed in front of the TV with Shao Junling.
At 8:00 p.m., the first episode of "Super Star Life" will start broadcasting on time on Xingyao TV.
The guests also registered and checked in in the WeChat group, saying that they wanted to watch and discuss together.
The opening interview first appeared. The five groups of guests were asked several questions one by one, and they were broadcast in order. Yin Chang remembered that this was filmed after the theme song was recorded.
When it was Yin Chang's turn, the host asked, "Do you feel nervous when you bring your brother to a variety show?"
Yin Chang smiled and said, "A little bit."
Host: "What do you expect from the show?"
Yin Chang: "I hope he will like it."
The screen cut to Shao Junling in a flash, and the host asked him, "What kind of person do you think my brother is?"
Shao Junling lowered his head and said, "Handsome." "Cool." "Very busy." "Lonely."...
This string of answers is obviously stuck, and it looks like it was cut out and put together. Yin Chang could guess that it might be that Shao Junling didn't speak fluently enough during the interview, and only answered one word when asked like squeezing toothpaste, so he did it later to save time.
It's okay, Yin Chang just wondered why Shao Junling kept his head down when he answered.
Then, the host asked another question: "Then do you want to hang out with your brother?"
Only then did Shao Junling raise his head, and said to the camera, "Think."
After the interview, the cheerful prelude of the theme song sounded.
"Brother~I want to eat Tangtang~" The first sentence is the narration of You Luming's milky voice.
"Ah, open your mouth~" Huang Han from the animation MV dotingly stuffed candy into You Luming's mouth.
Immediately afterwards, Shao Junling's singing voice appeared: "Brother, hug me, hold me high!"
Yin Chang: "Arguing and bickering, every day!"
Qin Xifeng: "Sister, smile, let's dance together!"
Qin Jingshan: "My sister, the best in the world!"
…
Yin Chang who was outside the screen said in surprise: "Hey, it sounds pretty good."
When going to record the song, Yin Chang felt that he and Shao Junling sang very stiffly, but it seemed a lot more natural to listen to the singing of a group of people.
Of course, the sound repairer must have put in a lot of effort.
After the theme song was played, the first screen that popped up was... Yin Chang's house
The author has something to say: [Interlude]
Yin Chang pushed Shao Junling back.
Shao Junling got up.
Yin Chang pressed back: Don't get up, you are a gift, let me hug you for a while!
Shao Junling: Damn why are you so strong! I'm going to be breathless!
