Lin Wan rolled her eyes at Li Zexin. “You’re overthinking things.”
“Auntie Bai Xue is indeed beautiful. I’ve never seen big brother stare at anyone for so long. I felt like his eyeballs were about to fall out.” Li Zexin nudged Li Zexuan. “Right, brother?”
Li Zexuan hadn’t fully recovered from his excitement. He was participating in a variety show with his idol and senior for the first time. And she lived next door!
The senior had just told him that she had watched his performance, and it was pretty good.
“Didn’t you see Xiao Yi’s face?” Li Zexuan blurted out.
Li Zexin was at a loss for words.
“Brother, let’s not argue. Let’s walk faster,” said Li Zekai as he urged them from behind.
The house was the same as before, but the decorations had changed. In addition to the window decorations and couplets set up by the New Year guests, the production team hung many small lanterns.
Everyone placed their belongings in their rooms.
After dropping off his suitcase, Li Zexin went to Xiao Yi’s house.
As soon as he left the courtyard, the broadcast started with the first announcement for the mission: “At noon, the production team has arranged lunchboxes for everyone. The staff will deliver the meals to you shortly. Please gather at the western end of the village at one o’clock.”
Li Zexin’s pace quickened as he heard about the food. He had felt a bit embarrassed about going to Xiao Yi’s place for a meal, but now it turned out that the production team was providing lunch boxes. It didn’t matter where they ate.
Xiao Yi was assembling his computer in the study. When he heard Li Zexin’s familiar voice, he said, “I’m in the study.”
[Xinxin, why not just stay at Xiao Yi’s place and save yourself the trouble of running back and forth?]
[I’ve set his voice as my ringtone. I’m afraid I can’t handle it if I don’t hear it in the future.]
[Same here. The Wind God’s voice is too magical.]
[This is the last episode. I haven’t seen their happy ending yet. Can we expect to see it this time?]
[The outcome that many people are hoping for probably won’t happen. I think it’s just a variety show speculation. In reality, they’re just a mentor and mentee.
Li Zexin is only in ninth grade, after all.]
[It’s definitely because of the variety show. Are people really going crazy for this couple?]
Li Zexin walked into the study. “Need any help?”
He reached out to grab some parts.
“Don’t move. Step back… further back.” Xiao Yi stopped him. “You don’t understand this structure. It’ll be ready soon.”
Li Zexin held his head with both hands. “Wow, you can even assemble computers. ”
Without looking up, Xiao Yi said, “It’s quite simple, okay? You can see the new system this afternoon.”
In the yard, Xia MO was livestreaming in front of the camera. She patiently responded to the comments.
“The kids don’t have such thoughts.”
[Xia Teacher, are you an open-minded parent?]
[@Previous Poster, that question was really diplomatic.]
[Exactly, Xia Teacher, would you support it if it was the reality?]
“I don’t object to it. They’re all grown-up children. They have their own thoughts and opinions. As long as it’s not against our morals and law, it’s up to them to decide.”
[Why don’t I have parents like this?]
[I’m thirty years old and still controlled by my parents. I have to be home before nine every day, report who I eat with, can’t stay out overnight, can’t stay up late, have to eat all three meals at home, and even my friendships are scrutinized…]
[Oh my, that sounds tough.]
[I’ve got similar types of parents. I’m forty and my parents still treat me like a child.]
[I’m a mom of an eighteen-year-old kid myself. Like Xia Teacher, I’ve become friends with my child. I respect their decisions.]
[Parents should gradually let go and allow their children to grow independently because we can’t stay with them forever.]
[Agreed. Parents can only accompany their children for a part of their journey. When we’re not there, they’ll need to walk the rest of the path on their own. If we try to control them too much, how can they become independent when we are no longer with them?]
[I have an overprotective mom and husband. I can’t complain. It’s exhausting being a daughter-in-law.]
“In a mother’s eyes, no matter how old the children are, they will always be little kids. They might not be able to adapt to their children becoming independent.”
[True… I even had to take my mom to see a psychologist.]
In Xiao Yi’s livestream room, discussions were all about whether parents should let go of their children and let them grow.
At Tutu’s house, he was out of breath by the time he reached the village courtyard.
Tutu seemed to have gained a bit of weight after the New Year celebrations.
Halfway through, he had wanted to take a break. But when he saw that Feifei was almost at his house, which was further than Tutu’s, he gritted his teeth and soldiered on.
Su Wei noticed this and deliberately slowed down so that his son could catch a breath.
Upon reaching the house, he patted his son’s head. “Tutu, you have improved so much! You carried your suitcase quite a distance all by yourself without a moment of rest. Good job, young man.”
Tutu took a few deep breaths. “Dad, I really need to lose weight. You were right. I can’t even walk properly when I’m chubby. Feifei, who’s younger than me, walks faster than me and isn’t even out of breath.”
“Tutu, let’s do this. We’ll eat fewer snacks and exercise more from now on.” Su Wei extended his hand for a pinky promise with his son.
“Pinky promise! Can’t break it even after a hundred years. Brothers and sisters in the livestream, please supervise me. If I don’t keep my word, you can call me bad Tutu.”
[Tutu, excess obesity could lead to health problems.]
[Exactly. Obesity not only affects appearance but also has a significant impact on health.]
[We won’t call you a bad child, but if you don’t keep your word, we can’t trust you anymore.]
[Tutu is becoming more responsible.]
Huo Meijun, who was watching the livestream, heard her grandson’s words and quickly made a call. “Xiao Wei, put Tutu on the call.”
“Hello, Grandma.’
“Baby, remember that you still need to eat even if you want to lose weight. You are still growing, so you need your nutrients. Also, I’m so proud of you. You did so well today! Your grandpa and I watched you together in the livestream.” “Grandma, I know. I’m going to play at Jiejie’s house now. Goodbye.” Tutu hung

- He couldn’t walt to go ancl Play witn Ll zeKa1.
Huo Meijun sighed. “As expected, they forget about us as soon as they arrive at Lan Village.”
Su Mingsheng took off his glasses and pinched his nose. ‘You worry too much. With Su Wei there, why are you still glued to the livestream? Let them do their thing, and we should focus on our own matters. No need to keep calling them every few seconds.”
“Got it. You’re even more long-winded than me. I’m going to play Mahjong in the afternoon. I need to find something to distract myself.”
At the L family’s house, Tutu shouted for Jiejie as he took out an Ultraman figure from his pocket.
“Tutu!” Li Zekai ran to him.
“Jiejie, we meet again! This Ultraman is for you. No one else has it yet. Hide it quickly. It’s a limited edition. Only two exist for now. We have each. Don’t let anyone know.”
[Hahaha, we all heard that, Tutu. Did you forget this is a livestream?]
[Tutu really likes Jiejie.]
[Don’t worry. We won’t say anything either. Jiejie’s Ultraman wasn’t from you, as far as we know.]
[Exactly, I can vouch for that too. Tutu has another identical one hidden in his pocket. Anyone can tell..]
