Xiao Yi explained the question very carefully, using several different methods to find the solution.
When he finished explaining, Li Zexin couldn’t wait to grab his test paper and show it to the viewers.
‘Wow! A top student is indeed something else! I was trying so hard to solve the question. But you came up with three methods on the spot. And they are simpler than my method!” said Li Zexin, praising Xiao Yi endlessly.
[Xinxin, you’re also remarkable. You solved so many questions without help. I Imow how difficult the math questions are. My son leaves the last few questions blank on his exam paper!]
[Same here. None of my kids have ever finished all the questions within the given time.]
[Are Xinxin’s grades good now? I remember in the first livestream, he joked about being a college loser.]
[Xinxin is in the top ten rankings in the ninth grade.]
[The power of having an idol. It’s so great to have someone you admire who is excellent in their studies. That’s what gives you motivation.]
Xiao Yi blushed at the praise. He walked behind the camera and silently told Li Zexin to keep it low-key.
“I can hear you being cocky from far away.” Li Zexuan leaned against the door frame with his hands crossed in front of him.
He looked at Xiao Yi. “Do you want to play basketball?”
“Brother Xuanxuan, how is it that you never ask me for a basketball match when I finish my studies, but you always ask him?”
[Xinxin is jealous!]
[Xinxin, it’s called tough love. Your big brother is tough on you because he wants to see you succeed.]
[Hoping for your success, it feels like the relationship between an old father and his son.]
[That’s right… It’s like how fathers are tough on their sons because they want them to succeed.]
Li Zexin sighed. “Wind God treats me better than my own brother.”
Li Zexuan didn’t bother arguing with him and just rolled his eyes at his younger brother.
“Let’s all play together,” said Xiao Yi.
The three of them headed to the basketball court.
On the basketball court, Michael and Pei Lingfeng were having a one-on-one match. It was an interesting match. One was a swimming coach, while the other was a fitness coach.
“Uncle Michael, Uncle Pei, hello!” Li Zexin waved from a distance.
The two adults stopped and drank some water.
“You guys want to play basketball too?” Pei Lingfeng asked. “Yeah. Can we play together with you?” asked Xiao Yi.
“Sure.” Michael nodded.
“Uncle Michael, Uncle Pei, hello!” Li Zexin waved from a distance.
The two adults stopped and drank some water.
“You guys want to play basketball too?” Pei Lingfeng asked. “Yeah. Can we play together with you?” asked Xiao Yi.
“Sure.” Michael nodded.
The five of them started a match.
Xia MO was bored and wanted to talk with Lin Wan. However, she found out from the comments that Lin Wan was cooped up in her room under a blanket. She didn’t want to disturb her.
Nannan was also bored. She headed to Xia Mo t s house with some fruits.
The gate to Xiao Yi’s house was open. Nannan called for Xia Mo.
“Come in. The gate is open!” said Xia Mo.
The light blue crystal fruit tray was filled with sliced oranges and pineapples.
“Teacher Xia.” Nannan wore a red down jacket.
“Nannan, hello.”
“I was just thinking about visiting you.”
“I was also bored at home. Michael went to play basketball.” Nannan put the fruit tray down. “Here. Have some. It’s fresh.”
The two women ate and talked in front of the camera.
Doudou had gone off to play with Wheatley. Pei Lingfeng was off to the basketball court. Li Meng was at home alone. She opened her computer and checked the comments from her readers.
Last night, she took the time to learn about Lin Wan and Li Yanchen’s lives. She had made some notes. Their love story was truly enviable.
In the latest chapter of the serialized novel, Li Meng typed in her author’s note:
“No matter how old you are, you can still find love.”
The simple sentence garnered a thousand comments overnight.
Most of the comments mentioned that they had gone through a terrible breakup and were seeking solace in Li Meng’s book.
Li Meng chose the longest comment and replied, “Although the novel is fictional, it is based on true events. Some critics have said that the romance I write about is too unrealistic. However, this one exists in real life.”
[Meng Meng is alive!]
[Meng Meng is online! I’m watching your livestream.]
[Meng Meng, add more of your own thoughts in the author’s notes.]
Li Meng didn’t expect there to be so many people online on a weekday.
“Okay. I will regularly share some insights in the author’s notes from now on,” she said. “Also, I’m going to write a new story. Everyone, please leave more comments to increase engagement among the readers.”
She opened her laptop, and the screen displayed the draft of her latest novel. Her slender fingers tapped the keyboard.
At Feifei’s home, Tao Jingyuan and Zheng Kuo were livestreaming together, while Feifei was focused on his drawing.
[Lawyer Tao, my daughter told me she saw you at school. She said you were there to promote legal awareness among the public.]
[Huh? What school? I really want to meet Lavvyer Tao.]
[My daughter is also studying law and says Lawyer Tao has a great personality.]
[Lawyer Tao, can you come to our village someday and promote legal awareness? The legal awareness of the villagers in our village is nonexistent.
Even though they work without rest throughout the year without overtime pay, no one has ever questioned it. My father is one of those people.]
“I have already started promoting legal awareness for public welfare. It was in Yun City this year. I’m hoping to visit other places next year. You can send me private messages, and I will prioritize cities with high demand.” Tao Jingyuan knew that many villagers didn’t know about legal processes. Some migrant workers worked without a wage and didn’t even know it was their human right to demand the minimum wage.
After her first livestream ended, she organized a trip to the countryside with her assistants to provide on-site assistance to the villagers.
[Lawyer Tao is amazing!]
[Sixian County.]
[He County.]
[Liuhe District, Jin Jia Village, Anyang City. Fellow villagers, send private messages!]
[Lawyer Tao, you can consider doing regular livestreams and connecting with the parties involved.]
[Yes. Traveling everywhere is quite tiring.]
[Lawyer Tao is already very busy. With so many places in the country, it’s hard to keep up. I also agree with livestreaming. Nowadays, the internet is widely available, and everyone can watch and learn.]
“I will consider everyone’s suggestions.” Tao Jingyuan even took notes.
At Xiao Yi’s home, Nannan and Xia MO were having a lively talk.
The two of them faced the camera and snacked on fruits and peanuts.
“I’ve thought about it. When I get old, I’ll return to the countryside and become a farmer. I want to raise chickens,” said Nannan.
Has this program changed everyone’s thinking? I also think country life is more peaceful.”
[Sister, if you really go back to the countryside, you will find that it’s not as peaceful as you think. I was born and raised in the countryside. Most children my age have gone to big cities, but I’m still here with my parents. Life is difficult here.]
[That’s true. Fortunately, the internet has developed rapidly in recent years. I started livestreaming to help my family out of poverty. They couldn’t even eat the vegetables they grew for themselves because everything had to be sold. Life is indeed difficult in the countryside.]
[That’s true! They can’t keep the things they grow for themselves and cannot sell them for a good price either..]
