“It’s unlikely we’ll be able to run for two hours. Maybe it’s just hiking,” said Li Zexin. “We’ll be fine. Maybe it’ll be difficult for Mr. Li. He is getting old, after all.

“I can run for half a day, nonstop. You worry about yourself,” said Li Yanchen.

“Two hours is indeed impossible to continue running,” said Xiao Tianlin. “Half an hour is the limit. I have been jogging every morning. I can only push myself for an hour at most. Xinxin is right. It can’t be a race.”

Xia MO felt nervous too.

“Just try to hold on as long as you can. We can take breaks in between,” said Xia Mo.

“These kids will run and win without any worries. They are young and nimble,” said Xiao Tianlin. He had full confidence in Xiao Yi.

[The guests think it’s a running race.]

[Magician Xiao could apply to be a referee if he doesn’t want to run and ride a bike behind everyone.]

[That’s possible.]

[The pressure to win is on the kids.]

[No. Mr. Li is full of energy and vitality.]

[Mr. Li is not old. There are people older than him among the guests.]

Li Yanchen was lucky that he didn’t see the comments.

At Feifei’s house, the adults looked at one another.

Although Tao Jingyuan had participated in two episodes, she still couldn’t figure out the Festival Group’s pattern. Li Meng was participating for the first time. Although she had watched the replays, she had no clue what the mission would be.

Zheng Kuo sighed. He always lost in these competitions. He had become old and slow.

Pei Lingfeng was different. He was a swimming coach. He was okay with physical activities.

‘We need to stick together,’ thought Zheng Kuo.

Li Meng was a writer and usually enjoyed staying at home. She didn’t like sports and exercise.

“It’s impossible for everyone to be athletic. It would be nice if a family can send just one athletic person to do these tasks,” said Li Meng.

“My family doesn’t have anyone like that.” Tao Jingyuan frowned.

“It doesn’t matter. Just being an audience is also great. I love to just sit and watch, ” said Li Meng.

Doudou recalled that Tao Jingyuan was a lawyer. ‘Mom said she is a great lawyer. She even shares her knowledge with the public.’

Doudou admired Tao Jingyuan so much that she didn’t even go with the other kids to play in the afternoon. Instead, she sat near Tao Jingyuan and listened to her speak the whole time.

[Doudou is so cute. A little debater sitting next to a great lawyer.]

[I also admire Lawyer Tao. Actually, I admire anyone who can speak well. I’m so awkward when making conversation.]

[Who isn’t? In addition to teaching about the law, maybe Lawyer Tao could give us tips on making conversation.] [That sounds great! Effective communication is so important.]

[Words are a sharp weapon.]

Tao Jingyuan glanced at the comments. “Sure.”

[She agreed!]

[Communication skills are so important. As a lawyer, it’s important not only to communicate with ordinary people but also criminals.]

[Especially in court, it’s important to know which words to choose while making a case.]

“I recommend everyone to read the book “Communication Skills.” It will not only improve your social interaction but also your relationship with people.

Communication is a very important aspect of being human,” said Tao Jingyuan.

[Thank you, Lawyer Tao. I’ll go buy it.]

“There’s an audiobook too. If you’re busy, you can listen to it on the go.”

[Lawyer Tao has thought of everything for us. That’s great!]

[You can be my teacher from now on, Lawyer Tao.]

“Auntie Tao, can I also read the book you mentioned?” Doudou asked.

“Doudou, you are a bit young to understand that book. Maybe when you’re a bit older, you can give it a try.”

“Doudou, come and play with us!” said Li Zekai. “Wheatley is teaching us how to make bullet journals. They look so beautiful when we decorate them with stickers.”

“Auntie Tao, I’m going to go now. Bye!”

Wheatley had brought bullet journals and stickers with her. She wanted to make bullet journals in her free time. When they were busy drawing before, she thought that she could teach everyone how to make a journal.

“Is this called a bullet journal?” asked Doudou as she joined them.

“Yes,” said Wheatley. “You can write about what happened today and decorate it with stickers and drawings. It’s a bit like keeping a diary.”

Tutu had seen bullet journals before but hadn’t found them fascinating. However, when Wheatley had shown them hers, Tutu realized that they were really pretty and easy to make.

Wheatley gave each child a notebook filled with colorful papers.

Li Zekai rarely went to stationery stores. The pens and notebooks he needed were all purchased in bulk by Assistant Qin.

“Wheatley, can we stick these stickers anywhere?” Li Zekai asked.

“You can, but it looks better when they are placed next to written paragraphs,” said Wheatley.

“Wow, it looks so beautiful!” Doudou exclaimed.

[Do elementary school kids know about bullet journals? I only started doing bullet journals in college.]

[It’s quite common in elementary and middle school.]

[I’m in my thirties and just learned what bullet journals are. Back in my school days, we didn’t have this kind of thing. The most we did was stick some pictures in our books.]

[There are so many different trends now.]

[There are also plenty of bullet journal materials. They’re gorgeous.]

[Wheatley, show us your bullet journal. Are you brave enough to show it to the camera?]

[I love looking at other people’s bullet journals. I want to see how they make theirs..]
