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

207 There Is Something Wrong With You

The Auntie placed the phone on the glass counter and got the toothpaste for Big Mouth.

Li Zexin saw the children in the vegetable field. He stared at the screen without moving.

“Your toothpaste. 16 yuan,” said the Auntie.

“Li Zexin? I was wondering why you looked so familiar. I finally remember. I watched your live broadcast before. Aiyo, your little brother is so obedient and sweet,” the Auntie complimented him and his brother.

!!

“Auntie, can I watch it for a while?” Li Zexin pointed at the phone screen.

“Sure, if you’re not in a hurry.” The Auntie immediately turned the phone around. “They are in the middle of a weeding competition. The winner gets the Aihua Sportswear endorsement.”

“Xinxin, I am done,” said Big Mouth. “Let’s go play basketball for a while.” He pulled at Li Zexin’s sleeve.

Li Zexin paused. He really wanted to know the results of the competition, but the teacher had warned them not to watch TV in the store while pretending to buy things. Besides, the livestream wouldn’t end any time soon.

“Let’s go,” he said. Li Zexin reluctantly walked out of the small store.

“Big Mouth, was my brother in the same team as the Wind God? I saw them in the first row,” he said.

“Yes. I think I saw your elder brother and the Wind God in the first row. Your younger brother was in the second row. There were two little kids in the third row. I didn’t recognize them,” said Big Mouth.

Li Zexin felt very disappointed. When Li Zexin had found out that Xiao Yi was the Wind God in the second episode, he had stuck close to him and pestered him a lot. The Wind God despised him but was close friends with his elder brother.

They were about the same age and were both straight-A students. Xiao Yi could definitely relate more with his elder brother.

Li Zexin sighed. “After this episode, will the Wind God even recognize me?”

“Are you jealous?” asked Big Mouth.

“If it were me, I’d want to be friends with someone with good grades and a cool personality too. I am not very good in academics, and I am very talkative. I am not as likable,” said Li Zexin. “Alright! I will study even harder, and the Wind God will finally see me in a different light.”

“I like you. Brother Xuan is too pretentious for me. I don’t like tsunderes,” said Big Mouth, as he put his arm around Li Zexin’s shoulders.

Li Zexin wanted to say that other than the Wind God, he didn’t want anyone else to like him. But when the words reached his mouth, he remembered that Big Mouth was just trying to help him feel better. So, he swallowed his words.

At Chenxin, the mood of the few female employees who had a crush on Li Yanchen was fluctuating with the live broadcast.

The Human Resources Department received their leave request. It was fine that the boss doted on his wife, but now he was becoming more and more brazen in the live broadcast room. His actions immediately became a hot search. Although it was a war of words, they were still very sad.

Lin Wan’s Circle of Madams group chat was also in uproar.

However, Lin Wan had been busy from the time the Sweet Little Circle live stream ended in the afternoon. She had no time to check her WeChat messages.

There were hundreds of messages from the ladies.

[Wanwan, Mr. Li is really getting more and more indecent.]

[Mrs. Li, I’m so jealous of you. When are you coming back to the Royal Water Bay? We will come to your house for a gathering.]

[I’ll show my husband the recording tonight so that he will think twice about being busy the whole day. I don’t know what he’s busy with. Isn’t Mr. Li busy too? In terms of family business, no one’s family is bigger than his, but he still makes time to accompany his wife and son on shows.]

[That’s right. I want to broadcast it directly on the screen and enlarge it.]

The ladies expressed their envy of Lin Wan and their dissatisfaction with their own husbands.

At Lan Village, where the competition was still going on, everyone was drenched in sweat.

Li Yanchen’s hair stuck to his face. It didn’t matter if Lin Wan won or lost, but he couldn’t lose to Luo Xi. Luo Xi had his own methods. He took his time, but half of the grass in the area had already been removed.

Lin Wan, Nannan, Xia Mo, and Tao Jingyuan. One of them would also have to compete for the winning spot to partner with the male winner to shoot the advertisement.

Lin Wan looked at Li Yanchen as she dug at the grass. She had thought it through. If Li Yanchen could win, she would work harder. If he couldn’t, she would leave some grass behind so she couldn’t win. She would deliberately not dig the grass so that she could avoid working with the other male guests.

Nanan and Xia Mo did not have any concerns. They just wanted to cooperate in filming an advertisement, and it did not matter who won.

Xia Mo’s movements were very swift and in a short while, she had already removed a third of the grass in the area. She looked at Xiao Tianlin. He was the slowest among the five men. It was probably impossible for him to win the championship.

Xia Mo was prepared. If either she or Xiao Tianlin won, they would get to endorse Aihua Sportswear and they would be happy with each other’s success. She thought that they had twice the chance of winning it since Luo Xi was alone.

Nannan was in the children’s clothing industry and had originally planned to add sports attire into her collection. She happened to be an endorser for a clothing line. This mission was tailor-made for her. Therefore, she dug the grass roots with all her might, her speed comparable to Xia Mo’s.

Lin Wan was falling slightly behind, but she believed that she had not exerted her full strength yet. She was conserving her energy and observing the situation. In the last twenty minutes of the game, she would make a move.

Xiao Tianlin didn’t know if it was the wrong method or that the shovel was too dull, but he couldn’t move fast enough. He looked at the others who were catching up with him and decided not to struggle anymore. He would slowly persist until the end of the competition.

Michael was a muscular man. He had thought that he would lose for sure. After all, he didn’t even know how to recognize weeds. When he arrived at the mission venue, he found that he only needed to separate the green beans and shovel the rest away.

His arm was tied with a black embroidered cover, and he was shouting, “Aiyo… aiyo…”

[The daddies are so intense.]

[The mothers are working hard too. Xiaxia only got up once.]

[Lin Wan has been watching Mr. Li.]

Yes. Sister Wan looks at him every two minutes. She doesn’t seem to have a strong desire to win. The Li family has already had an endorsement once and was chosen for the second time. They gave it to Wheatley’s family, so Sister Wan might not have really cared about winning this time.]

[But Mr. Li wants to win. He has been so focused. He hasn’t even looked up.]

[Mr. Li is under a lot of pressure. What if Luo Xi wins?]

[It’s a win. Luo Xi is young after all. Young people are strong.]

[@Previous Poster, Are you Luo Xi’s internet army? You’re touching on a sore spot. Don’t you know that our Mr. Li is most afraid of people comparing his age with Luo Xi? Mr. Li is just not willing to accept his age, that’s why he wants to win.]

[From my perspective, Mr. Li is indeed faster.]

[Sisters, it’s the last 20 minutes. everyone, let’s start sprinting!]

[My god! The camera’s starting to zoom in.]

[Is it because the camera is too close or is it just supposed to be like this? The grass roots are so thick, and many of them are growing together.]

[It looks like it is hard to shovel.]

The staff zoomed in on the guests’ faces and hands.

...

Li Yanchen wanted to get first place, not for the endorsement, but to prove to himself that he could do this kind of physical labor as well.

If Lin Wan lost, he would give the endorsement to another family. If Lin Wan won, he would keep his endorsement rights and shoot the advertisement with her. With this thought in mind, he pulled out the grass with increased vigor.
