The children gathered together and spread out white paper on the table. Peeled peanuts and roasted peas were placed on it.
It was Tutu’s suggestion to have a pea-shooting contest.
The peas and peanuts were placed alternately, with a marble placed at the corner of the table. Whoever could hit a pea with the marble would win a cheese stick.
They didn’t care much about the reward. They were more interested in the fun. The children had borrowed marbles from Li Zexin.
[There are so few people in the livestream room. Is it because it’s a working day?]
[Probably. I’m going to work too. See you later!]
[My child went to school today, so I have some free time. I watched the replay.
Lin Wan was sick yesterday, and there was an emergency.]
[You missed a lot. Last night, Sister Wan treated everyone to dinner.] [I watched it. The food was great, and everyone helped to prepare it.]
[Lin Wan said good morning. She was wrapped in a blanket. I don’t think she is planning to livestream today.]
[See you tonight!]
The viewers were relieved that Lin Wan wasn’t intending to livestream today. They didn’t want to miss out.
Li Yanchen also wanted to get into the blanket. However, he couldn’t vouch for what would happen if he stayed so close to Lin Wan all day.
So, Lin Wan kicked Li Yanchen out of bed.
Xie Wanyu returned to school. Xie Xiang dropped her off at school on a motorcycle.
She only said goodbye to her father.
Luan Rongrong was waiting at the school gate. “Wanyu, here!” She waved. “Is that your father?”
Xie Wanyu nodded. “He doesn’t look like a bad person.”
“Rongrong, let’s go.”
An hour ago, Xie Wanyu was getting ready to leave. Xie Xiang was wiping her bag. He didn’t ask her directly if he could drop her off at school but kept asking her how far the bus stop was and how she could carry all the books by herself.
Xie Wanyu understood that her father wanted to drop her off, so she asked him instead.
The man on the motorcycle wiped away a tear as he watched his daughter walk into her school.
The last time he dropped his daughter off at school was ten years ago when she was in elementary school. Little Xie Wanyu was chubby and talkative. Most children were afraid of going to school, but Xie Wanyu was always excited for school. She woke up on time every day, put on her uniform, packed her bag, and sat in front of the car.
At that time, his daughter was only as tall as his waist. She was now almost as tall as him.
He thought that his daughter would resent him for the rest of her life. He hadn’t expected her to be so mature and forgiving.
Back in her dormitory, Xie Wanyu opened up to Luan Rongrong about her father. Although she didn’t tell her friend about his undercover mission, she did tell her that he hadn’t been arrested.
“I know, I figured it out. My dad is the same,” said Luan Rongrong.
They became closer because of their shared experiences.
Yun Xi High School wasn’t as peaceful in the coming days.
During lunchtime, two girls passed by Xie Wanyu. “Top student, your dad dropped you off today, right? He looks fierce. Everyone, you should all stay away from Xie Wanyu. Her dad is back!”
Luan Rongrong got up from her chair. “If you dare to irritate us, believe me, I will…” She waved her fist at them.
The girl who had provoked them shrank back a little. “Did you hear that? Stay away!
“It’s not only Wanyu’s dad who is back. Mine too! You do know they were arrested, right? They are both out now. So, don’t mess with us!” said Luan Rongrong.
The girl who was trying to rile them up looked scared at the prospect that two supposed criminals were out of jail. She quickly shut her mouth.
Xie Wanyu felt that Luan Rongrong was quite clever. She implied that their fathers were dangerous. The information didn’t reveal their identities, but it would protect them from bullies at the school.
Li Zexin took out a notebook and decided to practice a set of test papers. If he had any doubts, he could always ask Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi was alone at home. He didn’t see the Li brothers appear at his house today. He wondered what they were up to.
At noon, he couldn’t take it anymore and headed to the Li family house.
There was only Li Yanchen in the courtyard. Xiao Yi asked him where the Li brothers were. Li Yanchen led him to their rooms.
Both brothers were working on their test papers.
Li Zexin was the first to notice Xiao Yi. “Wind God, you’re here!” He was surprised.
Usually, he was the one who always went to Xiao Yi’s house. This was the first time Xiao Yi had come looking for him!
“Oh, you’re doing your homework. I won’t disturb you then.” Xiao Yi turned to leave.
“Don’t go! We’re almost done. There are two questions I am having some trouble with. I was thinking of finding you to solve them anyway,” said Li Zexin. “We didn’t expect you to visit.”
“Alright. I’ll wait outside.”
“Okay. I’ll be right there!” Li Zexin turned to his test paper.
Li Zexuan watched the interaction between the two and felt a little envious. He then shook his head and brushed the thought aside.
Li Zexin spent a full twenty minutes solving the final math question.
In the courtyard, Xiao Yi and Li Yanchen sat on the bench.
Both of them weren’t very talkative. They sat in silence until Li Yanchen couldn’t take it anymore.
“When is your winter break?” asked Li Yanchen.
“Soon. The Spring Festival came early this year, so we’ll have it at the end of the month.”
“Oh… okay.”
“When is Li Zexin’s winter break?” Although Xiao Yi didn’t really want to know, he found the silence very awkward.
“Probably at the end of the month, too.”
After a minute of awkward silence, the two of them spoke at the same time.
“You can go first,” said Xiao Yi.
“Do you have any plans for the winter break?” Li Yanchen asked. “I’ll be at home preparing for the spring tournament. ”
“Hm… ”
“What about Li Zexin and the others?” Xiao Yi asked.
“Well…” Li Yanchen couldn’t think of anything. Usually, he let Assistant Qin plan out their activities during the break. He had never been present.
Li Yanchen felt guilty.
“I want to take them to the south for the winter,” he said after a while.
“That’s great. The south is warm. It’s a good place to be in the winter. I have been to the west during the winter. It was too cold,” said Xiao Yi.
[Why does this conversation sound like something between two retired, old professors drinking tea in the sun?]
[Hahaha… Yeah. It’s so awkward.]
[Is Mr. Li really going to take the kids to the south for the winter? I took a screenshot. Adults shouldn’t lie to children.]
[I’m in the south. I’ll wait for Mr. Li and his family to visit. I run a homestay in
Mount Yao. I can provide free rooms for your family, Mr. Li!]
[Xuanxuan mentioned in an interview that they haven’t traveled together as a family since their mother passed away.]
[I hope Mr. Li is telling the truth..]
