The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them - Chapter 211

211 I See You Before I Sleep, And I Still See You When I Wake Up

It suddenly rained heavily in the middle of the night in Lan Village, and the temperature dropped abruptly.

The withered yellow leaves fell to the ground with the force of the rain, where a thin layer of leaves were already on the ground.

When Lin Wan woke up in the morning, the cool breeze entered the room through the window. Lin Wan finally felt that autumn had arrived. Before she knew it, she had already spent a season here.

Li Yanchen was still sound asleep. She turned to her side, her hand propped up her chin, and looked at him.

!!
Li Yanchen was curled up, his eyelashes fluttering occasionally. His hair stuck to his forehead and his nose was high. He was wearing the pajamas that Lin Wan had given him.

Lin Wan moved closer to him and smelled the faint scent of shower gel on his body. She instinctively reached out and stroked his face.

He slowly opened his eyes. “Wanwan.”

He pulled her into his arms. “When I close my eyes, the last face I see is yours. When I open my eyes, I see you again. I hope life remains like this.”

Lin Wan was like a docile kitten in the arms of Li Yanchen.

After Li Zekai woke up, he waited for Li Yanchen for a long time. Seeing that his father wasn’t out yet, the little boy knocked on the door of his father’s bedroom.

“Dad? Auntie Lin? Are you awake?”

“Jiejie is here.” Lin Wan quickly got up.

Li Yanchen did not let go of her. “You are so adorable. Let me hold you for a while longer. The door is locked,” he said coyly.

Li Zekai knocked again, but he didn’t get a reply. So, he knocked repeatedly.

“Daddy, I am hungry! Brother Xuanxuan doesn’t know how to cook.”

“Jiejie said he’s hungry. Get up and make some breakfast!” Lin Wan pushed him away but he didn’t move an inch.

A while after, Li Yanchen finally let go of her and got up to open the door.

Li Zexuan had gone to Xiao Yi’s house. They seemed to get along because both were about the same age.

Xuanxuan had left a note on the stone table. “I am going to Xi. Don’t wait for me. Call me if there is a mission.”

After Li Zekai woke up, he saw the note and knew that he wouldn’t be able to eat breakfast. After enduring for half an hour, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and went to wake his father.

“Daddy, I’m hungry.” He passed the note to his father.

“I will cook you some porridge.” Li Yanchen washed his hands and prepared the rice. He then washed his face and brushed his teeth.

Lin Wan was wearing a long-sleeved dress. It was a white silk dress with blue flowers, which was also one of the outfits bought by her three stepsons.

When Li Zekai saw Lin Wan come out of the room, he clapped his little hands. “Auntie! I chose this dress. There are many flowers on it. I think it’s very cute!”

Li Zekai didn’t know much about brands. He had just bought the dress because he liked the patterns on it.

“The two dresses that my brothers chose are not pretty at all. Little flowers and animals are the cutest.” With his two older brothers not around, Li Zekai could complain to his heart’s content.

Lin Wan patted his head. “Yes, Jiejie has the best taste. This dress is suitable for today. Thank you for choosing it.”

“Auntie, this dress is very fairy-like. If anyone in your live stream says that the dress is beautiful, please mention that I chose it.” Li Zekai said as he hugged Lin Wan’s arm.

“Alright.”

“Auntie, I’m going to play in the yard.” The little boy walked to the yard happily.

After washing up, Li Yanchen returned to his room to change his clothes. He chose a black shirt and black jeans. This was the first time Lin Wan had seen him in black. She was stunned.

The overbearing CEOs in television dramas didn’t look better than him. Li Yanchen was truly a living clothes hanger. He could look out for any color or style, and it suited him just fine.

“The Big Boss is indeed the Big Boss.” Lin Wan praised. “You look so elegant. Aiyo, hubby, if you dress like this, won’t the women in the company fall for you?”

Lin Wan had never asked about his work relationships. She hadn’t even asked him about his sister-in-law. But she knew that there were many female employees in the company.

“You just discovered my charm?” said Li Yanchen. “Are you afraid I will be snatched away?”

Lin Wan poked at Li Yanchen’s chest. “You used to be a very cold person, but under my tutelage, you’re now as passionate as fire. How stressful is it for someone else to take advantage of the cabbage I raised?”

“Don’t worry. This cabbage only likes the pig that you are.”

“You’re the pig,” Lin Wan said.

“The story goes that the good cabbage was stolen by the pig. If I am the cabbage, then you are the pig,” said Li Yanchen.

At half past eight in the morning, the live stream started. Li Zekai ate porridge in the courtyard. Unlike before, when the side dishes were mostly preserved egg and salted duck eggs, Li Yanchen had prepared some scrumptious meat this time.

There was meat and porridge. Li Zekai was satisfied with the food. This was the first breakfast of the third episode.

The fans were also very surprised that the Li family had prepared something else. Otherwise, it had been the same breakfast for two consecutive episodes.

[Looking at the steam over Jiejie’s head, I know it’s porridge or congee again.]

[Why can’t it be noodles?]

[Jiejie is eating with a spoon. Who eats noodles with a spoon?]

[We are all Sherlock Holmes, now?]

Li Zekai drank the steaming hot congee. From time to time, he would use a spoon to scoop a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. He was very happy.

Lin Wan and Li Yanchen came out with their bowls as well, each of them holding a piece of meat.

[Guys, there’s been an improvement in Xuanxuan’s breakfast this time. It’s no longer pickled vegetables with salted duck eggs, there’s real meat.]

[I quite like this combination.]

[Me too. Congee is really something I can never get tired of.]

[Where’s Xuanxuan?]

[Xuanxuan is eating at Xiao Xiao’s house.]

[My god! Is this for real? Is baby Xuan trying to take the second brother’s place while he’s not around?]

The three members of the Li family gave Xiao Tianlin a call. When they found out that Li Zexuan was already having breakfast, they let him be.

At Xiao Yi’s house, Xia Mo got up early in the morning and made some noodles. She also made a Shaobing, which was golden in color and matched with soy milk. The four people immediately started devouring the food.

[Xuanxuan, you’re actually at Xiao Yi’s house!]

[Is this a paste cake? It’s a dialect name from where I come from. This cake is super delicious. I remember when my grandmother was alive, she often made this. I haven’t had it in a long time. Teacher Xia actually knows how to make it!]

[@Previous Poster, it seems that we are from the same place. my mother can make it too.]

[Paste cake? I have never seen it before. Is it delicious? I thought it was scallion cake.]

[It’s much richer than scallion pancakes and the texture is completely different.]

[This cake goes well with porridge.]

[We sell them in our market. We even add sugar, but it’s not as soft as the ones my grandma makes.]

…

The breakfast at Xiao Yi’s house triggered nostalgic memories in the viewers.

Li Zexuan had never eaten this before. At first, he thought it was a beef pie or something similar. However, after taking a few bites, he found that it wasn’t. There were many holes in the middle. It was very delicious.

After finishing one cake, the boy wanted to eat another one, but he retracted his hand with difficulty. He had eaten so well this morning. He dreaded what Mr. Li and Ms. Lin would prepare for lunch in the afternoon.
