Lin Wan spoke very slowly and in detail. Even Chubby Jiang, who was bad at understanding anything in English, listened to her talk about subjects, and verbs. He understood a little of the subject-verb-object order in sentences.

On the way back to school, Preserved Egg looked at Li Zexin. “Your stepmother is so good! She is not as cold and aloof as your father.”

Li Zexin looked very proud. “Isn’t that so? Fortunately, Ms. Lin is here. Otherwise, my father would be even more cold and aloof.”

“But what does Sister Lin like about your father?” asked Big Mouth. “Your father doesn’t seem like someone who likes to talk to people at all. How did

Sister Lin end up with him? She is so warm and kind.”

Big Mouth was very puzzled. It was definitely because of money. He had watched Lin Wan’s livestream. She was so popular that she could earn her own money. So, why did she like Li Zexin’s father so much?

Big Mouth’s mother had told him that livestreamers could earn a lot of money if they did things right. Lin Wan obviously knew how to livestream. She had more than one channel, too!

Li Zexin patted Big Mouth’s head. “Other than being cold and aloof, Mr. Li is actually very good. He is very humble with Ms. Lin and treats her with respect. No matter how much of a big shot he is outside, he is always modest at home, especially with Ms. Lin. You know, he even gets jealous when Ms. Lin ignores him and spends time with us instead?”

“Your family is so interesting,” said Chubby Jiang. He was a little envious.

Cubby Jiang’s parents were old when they had him. Although his family doted on him, his life wasn’t like Li Zexin’s at all.

“It’s good to have a young mother.” The four of them chatted along the way to school.

At the house, Lin Wan finally sat down at the table with Li Yanchen to eat her dinner. They sat facing each other.

“It’s one thing to take your time away from me for his lessons,” said Li Yanchen bitterly. “But now he has his friends over to do the same as well.”

“Mr. Li, I am appalled at you,” said Lin Wan. “You are getting more and more jealous of your sons these days.” She smiled.

“Auntie Huang,” said Li Yanchen. “Please tell me, do you think I look terribly old? Is it true that Lin Wan looks like an older sister while I look like an uncle?”

Auntie Huang did think that Lin Wan looked like a college student, while Li Yanchen looked a little more mature enough to be a full-fledged adult in society. However, she didn’t want to risk his wrath by telling him the truth. “Sir, you have… an extraordinary temperament, that might make you come off as a little bit more mature and intimidating,” said Auntie Huang.

Li Yanchen was speechless. Lin Wan chuckled.

“That’s right, Mr. Li,” she said. “You have this aura of an intimidating boss.

Auntie Huang, thank you. You can go and continue with your chores.”

Lin Wan was giving Auntie Huang an opening for escape. Auntie Huang turned and slipped away. She heaved a sigh of relief.

She remembered that the house help of Mrs. Zhou had mentioned something about Chinese medicine. Mrs. Zhou was apparently learning about Chinese medicine to help people keep young and fit. The secret was in the food. After taking three courses in that field, Mrs. Zhou had come up with a recipe that could keep people young.

Auntie Huang wished she could nip back to Royal Water Bay and get the recipe, so she could help out poor Li Yanchen.

Lin Wan scooped the soup into a bowl for him. “I still have the Night Talk

Livestream to do. You should sleep if you are tired.”

“Sleep?” said Li Yanchen with a smirk. “I am not tired. I will wait for you. I must prove that I can be an older brother instead of an uncle.”

“Well, there is nothing to prove. I know it. You are young and I am old. I am basically an Auntie at this point.”

Lin Wan was still flustered by his words. She couldn’t even eat properly and headed double quick to the live broadcast room.

After three days in Pyongyang, the living room, balcony, room, sofa, and all the places that she could stand on had been left with subtle traces. Lin Wan only wanted to rest after her stream ended tonight.

At Yun Xi High School, Li Zexuan was thinking about an excuse to go home. He had already used the excuse of wanting to change his blanket. Twice.

He was deep in thought.

Sun Mingtao handed him a bottle of water. “Have you finished your homework?” he asked. “It’s so rare to see you this free. Do you want to go to the stadium?”

Li Zexuan was so focused on his thoughts that he didn’t even hear Sun Mingtao call him.

Sun Mingtao tugged at his sleeve. “What are you thinking so hard about? Do you want to go and play basketball with me?”

“I don’t want to,” said Li Zexuan.

“You have to strike a balance between work and rest, you know. If you use your brain all day, you will be mentally exhausted. You need some form of recreation,” said Sun Mingtao.

In fact, Lu Wenqian had already agreed with Sun Mingtao to meet at the basketball court this evening. To make Sun Mingtao more willing to help her, she even gave him a pair of limited edition AJMS.

Li Zexuan thought about it. He was quite bored staying in the room, and he had nothing else to do. He decided to follow Sun Mingtao.

“Alright,” he said.

“Okay. Go change your clothes.”

Sun Mingtao sent a message secretly to Lu Wenqian informing her of his success in getting Li Zexuan to come with him.

In the dormitory, Lu Wenqian, who was waiting for a reply, was so happy that she twirled around in circles. She packed a towel and two bottles of water in a bag.

The basketball court of Yun Xi High School was packed with people.

Wherever Li Zexuan went, he created a commotion. It was at least better inside the school.

Lu Wenqian stood at the entrance of the court, waiting for Li Zexuan to arrive.

About ten minutes later, she saw Sun Mingtao and Li Zexuan walking in.

She walked to them. “Li Zexuan!”

Li Zexuan ignored her as though she didn’t exist. However, others at the court whispered, “Li Zexuan and Lu Wenqian?”

A few people pulled Lu Wenqian and Li Zexuan together and surrounded them. Li Zexuan pushed the crowd aside in annoyance and dodged to the side.

“Ah!” Xie Wanyu was coming back from the computer room when she suddenly bumped into someone. Her glasses fell. Several people stepped on it.

Xie Wanyu crouched down and fumbled for her broken glasses. She was knocked aside by the crowd.

Li Zexuan had been so focused on getting away from the crowd that he hadn’t noticed the girl in front of him. He accidentally bumped into her. The impact was so strong that it hurt his shoulders. He saw a girl crouching on the ground, looking for something. He also saw a broken pair of glasses a few steps away.

“I’m so sorry,” said Li Zexuan as he knelt down to help her.

His eyes met hers. Xie Wanyu’s eyes were as clear and sharp as a mountain spring. She was very fair. Her hair was in a ponytail. She wore a dark blue

uniform.

She was still holding the book tightly in front of her. She saw someone in front of her. She lowered her head and snatched up the broken glasses from the ground. She covered her face with her book and ran away.

“I am sorry,” said Li Zexuan again. “What is your name? What class are you in? I will compensate you for your glasses.” He was genuinely apologetic.

Xie Wanyu did not respond. She quietly ran away.

Li Zexuan rubbed his sore shoulder and looked at the girl who ran away in a panic.

“Xuanxuan, what’s wrong?” Lu Wenqian emerged from the crowd.

“I am heading back. I have something I need to do.” Li Zexuan ran toward the direction where the girl had disappeared..
