The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them

198 The Pendant on Your Thigh Is Gone

“Is there anything else? If not, go back and rest.” Luo Xi put away the report and returned it to Dou Fei.

“Alright,” said Dou Fei as he left the old street.

After drinking a few cups of tea, his thoughts became clearer.

He held the teacup in his hand and was deep in thought. He knew that since he was going on the show, he had to deal with his relationship with Lin Wan.

!!

…

In September, the third live broadcast of “We Are Also Very Ordinary” began.

The original four families remained the same, but there were rumors on the internet that the members had changed. To be exact, only the Li family had one less person, because Li Zexin was already in the third year of junior high and it was not feasible for him to miss school.

The staff members were already at the village entrance to welcome the guests.

The Li family drove to Lan Village. Li Zexuan was silent all the way. The three brothers always quarreled when they were together but without Li Zexin, it wasn’t the same.

“Daddy, I miss my brother.” Li Zekai pouted.

“Xinxin has too much to do. There are still a few months left. We have to race against time.” The moment Li Yanchen got into the car; he noticed his sons’ low mood.

“But how will we be a whole family without one brother? The Festival Group is so annoying. Why can’t we broadcast it on National Day?” Li Zekai’s small hands were on his hips as he complained about the Festival Group.

Li Zexuan still didn’t say a word, but his mind was filled with thoughts of his brother. If he was here, the car would be so noisy. He always complained that Li Zexin talked too much but now he missed his useless talks. He wasn’t used to this kind of peace.

“Li Zexin isn’t here so it’s peaceful. Otherwise, it will be too noisy.” Li Zexuan didn’t mean what he said.

“You were saying last night that this episode would be so boring because brother Xinxin isn’t here.,” said Li Zekai.

“Did I say that? I didn’t say anything.” Li Zexuan continued to deny it.

Lin Wan sat in the front passenger seat. “Xuanxuan, you’re so cold. If there’s no Xinxin for this episode, who’s going to chop firewood in our house?”

“Me. I will do it,” said Li Yanchen.

Li Yanchen tried his best to liven things up along the way, but nobody was in high spirits.

At ten, the Li family was the first to arrive at Lan Village. They waited with the staff for the other families to arrive.

The second to arrive was Xiao Yi and his family. Xiao Yi, who was about to enter his second year of university, would start university in October, so the live stream did not affect his studies at all.

After he got out of the car, he followed behind his parents.

“Wanwan!” greeted Xia Mo.

The two families greeted each other. Xiao Yi looked around for Li Zexin.

“Brother, are you looking for Brother Xinxin?” asked Li Zekai.

“Yes. Where is he?” Xiao Yi thought Li Zexin had gone to the washroom.

“Brother Xinxin didn’t come. He has exams,” said Li Zekai sadly.

Xiao Yi was a little disappointed too. But he pretended to not care. “That’s good. He has to review all the lessons before exams. He has to do well.”

Li Zexin would always follow him everywhere and annoy him. Without him here, it felt empty.

“Xinxin has done well. I hope he gets good grades,” Xia Mo said with a smile.

Feifei’s family and Wheatley’s family arrived next.

Everyone noticed that the Li family was missing one person. They all asked about it and then returned to their houses after greeting each other.

All the live streams at the houses were on. The fans swarmed in.

[Sister Wan, I’m here!]

[Xiao Huan, I saw a picture of you in a helmet the other day. You were so cute.]

[Hahaha. Lin Wan looked heroic riding the electric scooter.]

Unlike the previous time when the entire screen was filled with comments about Li Zexuan, this time, the comments were mostly about Lin Wan.

[Id Mr. Li stingy? He didn’t even give Lin Wan a car?]

[Xiao Huan, where did you buy your helmet? There’s a bamboo dragonfly on it.]

Li Yanchen took a look at the bullet screen. “I bought her a car but she won’t drive it.”

[Mr. Li replied?!]

“It’s very comfortable to ride a scooter in this season.” Lin Wan also sat in front of the camera.

[The couple replied together?]

[Oh my god!]

[Xuanxuan is here. Mommy loves you, baby.]

[Jiejie is here too. The children don’t look happy.]

[Where’s Xinxin?]

The fans waited for a long time, but they still didn’t see li Zexin appear on the screen.

[Could the rumors be true? Xinxin will not be participating in this episode?]

“Xinxin won’t be here for this episode. He is already in third year of junior high and doesn’t have the time. He is very busy. He told me to tell you all not to miss him too much. He said he will meet everyone when he gets into high school,” Li Yanchen explained.

[No! I only watch this variety show for Xinxin!]

[Funny Li Zexin is absent? The show will be dull.]

[Although I watched the show for Xuanxuan, I have become a fan of Xinxin too. I feel like something is missing here without him in it.]

After the fans expressed their regret in the Li family’s live broadcast room, they all ran to Xiao Yi’s live broadcast room.

...

[Xiao Yi, the pendant on your thigh is gone.]

[Xinxin didn’t come for this episode. You didn’t like him when he was here. Now that he is not here, do you miss him?]

[Xiao Yi, can you contact Xinxin? Tell him to study hard and tell him we will wait for him.]

[Did Li Zexin stop playing games?]

Xiao Yi was also in a low mood as he looked at the scrolling comments without saying a word.

At Wheatley’s house, Nannan carried a book and sat in the courtyard. Wheatley was also doing her homework.

[I’ve discovered that Wheatley is the only girl among this episode’s little guests.]

[Yes. I quite liked Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan until Ji Hanzhi embarrassed herself publicly.]

[Did Ji Hanzhi really do something like that?]

[Yes. My friend saw her going to the Roal Water Bay with her own eyes.]

[She won’t seek revenge in the future, right?]

...

[I don’t think so. She’s just an ordinary person now. If her manager terminated her contract, a certain station would directly publish an article to ban her.]

[There must be something hateful about the pitiful person.]

[Don’t discuss it on the bullet screen. Show some positive energy.]

Nanan had seen the news about Ji Hanzhi and was shocked. She had tried to befriend Ji Hanzhi in the second episode. She had not expected her image to fall apart like this.

If Lin Wan hadn’t given up her endorsement, she might have been in the same boat as Ji Hanzhi. Fortunately, she managed to turn back the tides in her favor.

As a regular guest, after witnessing Xu Xiaoxiao and Ji Hanzhi’s behavior, Nannan swore that she would never do something so despicable and cause others trouble.

At Feifei’s house, Tao Jingyuan was preparing lunch, while Zheng Kuo was playing on the swing with the child in the courtyard. The little boy laughed heartily.

[It’s only been a month, but I feel like Feifei has grown.]

[Feifei’s laugh is so heartwarming. I’ve recorded it. I’m going to set it as my ringtone.]

[Recording a laugh as a ringtone? Isn’t it scary when the phone rings?]

[I heard that this episode’s flying guest is about the same age as Feifei.]

[I think it’s Luo Xi. The little guest is from an orphanage. Luo Xi is going through the adoption procedures.]

[Is Luo Xi the class monitor from Lin Wan’s high school?]

[I heard about it during the last livestream. I don’t know if it’s true or not. If it is, it’ll be quite interesting to watch.]

Everyone discussed the flying guest.

“All families, please gather at the village entrance in half an hour. Our flying guest will be arriving soon.”

[So fast? The flying guest only arrived on the second day last time.]

[Who is it? I know it is a man.]

[Sisters, quickly go to the Li family’s livestream room.]
