Chapter 71 - 71 Group’s Favorite
When the Li family reappeared on the live broadcast screen, they were back in their courtyard.
[Xuanxuan, what are you doing? Washing vegetables?]
[Li Zexin is chopping wood. Li Yanchen is cutting vegetables. The little cub is fanning Lin Wan.]
[What the hell? Did Lin Wan suddenly become the female lead? She is now the group’s favorite!]
[Lin Wan is holding a book in her hand. She looks like an Emperor. Are they trying their best to impress her?]
[It’s just because of the song. Kids, let me be your stepmother. I can sing and dance, and I can even do crosstalk.]
[Today’s point has been taken over by the Iron Men in the live broadcast room again. I realized that it’s fine not to see Xuanxuan for a day, but it’s strange when Iron Men doesn’t comment for a day.]
[So, I’m not the only one who likes to read bullet comments]
[I am split. I hope that Xuanxuan will be loved by his parents, but I don’t want that love to come from Lin Wan.]
[Does it matter who loves him as long as Xuanxuan is loved? The important thing is that Xuanxuan must be happy.]
[If Lin Wan continues to cooperate, I want to give her a chance.]
[Previous poster, who are you? I want you to give me a chance.]
Lin Wan was lying on the recliner and looking at the comments in the Li family’s livestream. There were not many people criticizing her like before. She had originally planned to have some fun. How did she develop feelings for them? She didn’t care anymore. She would withdraw from the next episode.
Li Zexin finished chopping the firewood, washed his hands, and went to Xiao Yi’s house with the math test paper.
After eating the cake his mother had made for the talent show, Xiao Yi had no desire to eat dinner. He took a piece of paper and started drawing in the courtyard.
Li Zexin greeted Xiao Yi’s parents and then sat down in front of Xiao Yi.
“I did this test last night. There’s a question I don’t know how to answer. Can you teach me?” Li Zexin spread out the paper and pointed at a question.
[Li Zexin is here again. He’s here with the test papers.]
[Li Zexin is doing homework!]
[Why do I feel that the test paper is so crumpled? Don’t tell me he just took it out of the trash can?]
[My daughter is also in her second year of middle school. She does her homework until midnight every day. Originally, she was envious that Li Zexin could participate in variety shows in junior high school. She was even hiding her homework.]
“Is that the legendary skill of a topper? Damn, I can’t even solve math.” Li Zexin looked at Xiao Yi’s paper where he was sketching.
Xiao Yi flipped the paper in his hand. “Please go away.”
Li Zexin threw the paper in front of Xiao Yi. “I am not asking you to make me your disciple again. I am just asking for help with one question. Just one.”
Xiao Yi took the test paper unwillingly and wrote on the back of the draft paper while explaining the solution to the problem.
Li Zexin admitted that he initially took the test paper to make his presence known in front of Xiao Yi but seeing the straight-A student explain the solution so patiently to him, Li Zexin felt a little bad. He actually knew how to solve the problem.
“Do you understand now?” Xiao Yi was like a teacher.
Li Zexin nodded, and then quickly wrote down the answer on the test paper. “Thank you. My performance today was not bad, right?” Li Zexin looked expectantly at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi picked up his paper and continued sketching. “If there is nothing else, please go away and leave me alone.”
“Oh, is studying in college so stressful? The people from Yun City’s four-star high school don’t even work as hard as me.” It was said that being admitted to university was equivalent to entering an ivory tower and that one could graduate on equal footing in four years.
‘How was Xiao Yi excelling at everything?’ Li Zexin didn’t understand.
Xiao Yi moved away from the paper and glared at Li Zexin.
“Okay, okay. I’ll go home. Don’t forget our deal.” Li Zexin knew that if he stayed any longer, Xiao Yi would get angry with him, so he carried the test papers back home.
[It’s just another day of Li Zexin being despised.]
[Our top student is the proudest.]
After Li Zexin left, Xia Mo pulled her son to the side. “Son, did you completely forget what you promised me? He took the initiative to come to your door, but you didn’t talk about the proper business and just drove him away?”
Only then did Xiao Yi remember that he had promised his mother in the morning to ask Li Zexin to convince Lin Wan to join the next episode.
Xiao Yi did not know what his mother was up to. Although Lin Wan was very popular, she was also someone who the fans hated. ‘Why did my mother want her to come? How does she know for sure that Lin Wan wasn’t joining the next episode?’
“Tomorrow is the last day. I heard from Lin Wan that she won’t be coming for the next episode. It’s up to you to convince her.” When Xia Mo saw Lin Wan, her lips trembled.
“I’ll tell him, okay?” Xiao Yi sighed.
[What is Xiao Yi and his mom discussing? They’re so quiet.]
[It’s not appropriate for us to hear their whispers, right?]
[I’m guessing that Xia Mo thinks that Xiao Yi’s attitude towards Li Zexin was harsh.]
[Li Zexin doesn’t care about it. He went back happily.]
[Sisters, I’m going to pick up my baby. See you tonight.]
[I’m going to prepare dinner too. Goodbye.]
The number of people in the live broadcast room suddenly decreased.
Xiao Tianlin was still studying his new magic trick in the backyard. He prepared it as the final gift for this episode. He wanted to perform it for his fans in the live broadcast room.
Each family was working hard in their own way.
…
At Tutu’s house, after the talent show, Xu Xiaoxiao removed her makeup and hid in her room to wipe her tears again.
Su Wei noticed the change in Xu Xiaoxiao’s face and followed her in. He stood behind the woman and put a hand on her shoulder. “Xiaoxiao, I know Tutu is too stubborn. Just bear with it for one more day.”
Xu Xiaoxiao wiped her tears away. “I really don’t want to criticize him, but he made such a face at a special performance that meant so much to me. It’s fine to hate me. But by doing this, people will question Tutu’s upbringing. What about the Su family?”
...
“I know, but I couldn’t say anything in front of so many people. I’ll definitely teach him a lesson when I get back” Su Wei pulled her into his arms.
Tutu was leaning against the window. He heard the conversation between his father and Xu Xiaoxiao. He knocked on the glass. “Xu Xiaoxiao, you are such a bad woman. You actually asked my father to beat me up! Everyone in the livestream room! This evil stepmother is trying to bully me!”
Su Wei hadn’t expected his son to eavesdrop on them. He walked outside and lifted Tutu from the window. “You aren’t allowed to say such things to Auntie Xu, Tutu.”
Tutu burst into tears. “Daddy is scolding me. Daddy is scolding me for this evil stepmother. Grandma, please save Tutu!”
The child’s cries were deafening, and Su Wei was annoyed. He could only compromise for now. “Tutu, don’t cry. It’s my fault this time. I dragged you into this program. We will go back home tomorrow night. We don’t have to do this again.”
When Tutu heard that, he stopped crying. “Really?” he asked with tearful eyes.
