The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them - Chapter 202
202 Comprehension Ability Has Been Bad Since He Was Young
Luo Xi saw the confessions on the bullet screen and made an excuse to leave.
“The meal might be ready. I have to go and check. See you all later.” He got up and went to the kitchen.
Luo Xi opened the lid of the pot and used chopsticks to separate the bamboo tube. He put in the chopped vegetables and mixed them evenly with the rice and diced meat. Then, he closed the bamboo tube again. The fragrance of the bamboo, rice, and meat mixed together wafted up in the air.
Jian Jia sniffed the air. “It smells so good!” he exclaimed.
!!
Luo Xi placed the bamboo tube on the enamel bowl and placed it on the square table in the courtyard.
The rice that was just out of the tube was steaming.
“The bamboo tube is very hot. Let them cool for a while, alright? I will go and boil some soup. It’ll be quick.” Luo Xi smiled and ruffled Jian Jia’s hair.
[Luo Xi is so gentle. He’s not even married, how can he be so patient with a child?]
[Luo Xi must really like children to have decided to adopt Jian Jia.]
[To be honest, I don’t want to give birth to babies either, but I do want to raise a child. So, brother, please accept me. I promise to be good to Jian Jia.]
[Today, Lin Wan is also going to live broadcast another dessert tutorial. What should I do? I want to watch Luo Xi making coffee, but I also want to watch Wanwan making dessert. It’s so hard to choose.]
[Don’t you think that someone who knows how to make coffee and another who knows how to make dessert make a perfect match?]
[Don’t spout nonsense. Lin Wan and Mr. Li are a match made in heaven. I ship this couple.]
[Luo Xi will meet someone better. Fans, please be rational. Don’t always find petty ways to put together Luo Xi and Lin Wan.]
Luo Xi was in the kitchen and did not know that the comments were talking about him and Lin Wan.
Jian Jia looked at the camera curiously. He saw many words flash by, but he couldn’t understand them. The child raised his hand to greet the viewers then went back to his drawing.
Luo Xi made beef tofu soup. He marinated the beef first while boiling water in a pot. He then added the tofu, beef and cornstarch. He then sprinkled a handful of coriander after putting the soup in a bowl. The bowl of soup was ready.
[Is this the standard simple meal of the family?]
[I think so too. The dishes are pretty balanced. There is rice, veggies, and meat.]
[Brother, you’re so good. You’ll definitely be a good family man in the future.]
“It’s not hot anymore. You can eat now,” said Luo Xi. He separated the two halves of the bamboo.
Jian Jia picked up a small spoon and poked at the steaming rice in one half of the bamboo shoot.
“Daddy, the rice smells so good,” said Jian Jia with a smile.
Luo Xi wiped the little boy’s face with a wet tissue. “Eat slowly. What did you do? You look like a cat that rolled around in the dirt.”
Jian Jia reached out a hand and placed it on Luo Xi’s cheek. “Daddy’s cooking is so delicious. I want to finish it all. Daddy, you eat too.”
“Alright,” he said.
At the Li family’s courtyard, Lin Wan prepared the equipment for the live broadcast in the afternoon. In order not to delay the four o ‘clock mission, she discussed with Xia Mo and changed the live broadcast time to half past one.
At the Festival Group office, the staff members discussed the five families.
“Sister Tian, it was a wise decision to invite Luo Xi and Jian Jia for this episode. We were criticized very badly last time because of Ji Hanzhi.” The Director was mentally exhausted. The second episode reviews had all been very negative.
“Luo Xi and Jian Jia’s relationship is very positive. It’s something that should be encouraged, and people want to see it, too.”
“That family is almost as popular as the Li family.”
“Aren’t you worried that if Lin Wan and Luo Xi win this afternoon, they’ll have to endorse the product together?”
“That is the joke. Do you think Lin Wan will win?”
“Hahahaha!”
At the Li family’s house, Lin Wan sneezed hard. The flour that she had just opened was all over her face.
Lin Wan ran to the well and washed her face.
[What’s wrong with Lin Wan? Why is she covered in flour?]
[Yes. What’s going on?]
[It must be because she sneezed on the flour, and it got all over her face.]
[My god! Are you even analyzing this?]
[Is someone talking bad about Lin Wan?]
[Lin Wan is so unbothered about the camera. When she came out with a face full of flour, she looked directly at the camera. Does she think we won’t take a screenshot?]
[I’ve taken a screenshot. Do you want to share it with everyone?]
[Yes.]
…
While Lin Wan and Xia Mo were streaming, Li Yanchen sat in the courtyard. He browsed through the Festival Group channel, then the Sweet Little Circle channel and even Luo Xi’s channel secretly.
He turned his back to the camera and muttered to himself. “It’s just a simple thing to cook. What’s so great about it? All the viewers are drooling over him. It’s so cringey!”
Li Yanchen imagined the way in which the fans would mutter it stupidly. He got goosebumps all over his body because he thought it was so cringey. He looked at the comments in disgust.
In Luo Xi’s live broadcast room, after lunch, he prepared the tools for weeding. He took Jian Jia to the backyard to help him recognize some vegetables and fruits. When it was almost two in the afternoon, he started a live broadcast and made coffee while Jian Jia played with his toys.
The fans were in an uproar.
[Big brother’s fingers are so long and so beautiful.]
[How can his hands be so white and delicate?]
[Brother is so handsome when he makes coffee. There’s no blind spot at all.]
[He is handsome, talented and kind at heart.]
[Watching him make coffee is so satisfying.]
[Lin Wan’s hands and Luo Xi’s hands are both so beautiful. It is no wonder one is a dessert chef and the other is a barista.]
[Prince of Coffee, you don’t have to marry me. Please just let me work at Mumu Time Café with you.]
…
Li Yanchen left Luo Xi’s live stream. ‘Why does no one call me Brother?’ he wondered.
“Li Zexuan,” he called to his eldest son.
Li Zexuan was practicing his guitar.
[Xuaxuan came out. Xuanxuan, why aren’t you playing the guitar in the live broadcast room today?]
[Xuanxuan playing the guitar will reduce the traffic of the Sweet Little Circle’s live broadcast room, so he doesn’t appear on camera after lunch. He even requested everyone to switch to the Sweet Little Circle and support Lin Wan.]
[Everyone supports Lin Wan, and she supports everyone in the family. They are all so mutually supportive of each other.]
[Mr. Li doesn’t look very happy today.]
[Is it because of Luo Xi? Hahaha. Mr. Li, you must be confident about your relationship. Lin Wan only has you in her heart.]
“What’s wrong?” Li Zexuan sat beside his father.
“What if I change my name? In the name list, my name will appear as Brother Yanchen, instead.” Li Yanchen whispered in his eldest son’s ear in a low voice, trying to be as quiet as possible.
“Brother Yanchen? But why?” Li Zexuan raised his voice and asked with a smile.
Li Yanchen hurriedly covered his son’s mouth and glanced at the camera. “Lower your voice. Why can’t someone in their thirties be a brother?” he looked at his son. “It’s your fault, you know. You always call me Mr. Li in front of the camera. Now everybody calls me that. Look at Luo Xi’s live stream. Everyone calls him Brother.”
Li Zexuan was speechless.
“Tell them not to call me Mr. Li in the future,” said Li Yanchen as he pushed his son in front of the camera.
Li Zexuan looked at the bullet screen.
[Xuanxuan, what’s wrong?]
“Mr. Li told me to tell every one of you not to call him Mr. Li anymore. Please call him Big Brother. If Luo Xi can be “Brother”, then so can Mr. Li,” said Li Zexuan.
Li Yanchen furrowed his brows. ‘That brat! Couldn’t he have said it in a different way?’
He faced the camera. “Don’t listen to Xuanxuan’s nonsense. You can call me whatever you want. This child’s comprehension ability has been bad since he was young. He often doesn’t understand what I’m saying.”
Li Zexuan was perplexed.
“What are you doing? Read more books to improve your comprehension.” Li Yanchen pulled his eldest son over to the other side.
