152 Too Exhausted to Even Open His Eyes in The Morning

This was the longest Li Yanchen had ever talked to someone in the show. They were talking about his personal life!

He used to periodically discuss topics unrelated to work with Secretary Han and Assistant Qin in the past. However, they would only talk about life and their ideals. They never talked about such intimate and personal things.

As if he had found a kindred spirit, Xiao Tianlin continued, “Our families have become very close. My son is your son’s mentor. And your wife is a mentor to my wife. I am about the same age as you so we can definitely talk like brothers. I have never told this to anyone, but you can only improve if you communicate with others more.”

“I don’t need to improve,” said Li Yanchen in disdain.

!!

“It’s all about maintaining one’s health. Take this.” Xiao Tianlin stuffed the small jar of goji berries into Li Yanchen’s pocket.

Li Yanchen was too dumbfounded to say anything.

“Hush now. Let’s go. We can’t leave the live stream empty for too long.” Xiao Tianlin zipped up his luggage and put it in the corner. He then walked out to the courtyard with Li Yanchen.

Li Yanchen’s heart was filled with complex emotions, and he did not say a single word in front of the camera.

[Li Yanchen and Xiao Tianlin are out again!]

Comments finally poured into the bullet screen in twos and threes.

[Two people who don’t talk much… I am anxious.]

[They are either found whispering or very silent.]

[Although Mr. Li is very handsome, I’m tired of staring at him.]

[I’m not tired of it. I can watch him all day.]

[Let’s go. I’m going to see the children.]

The two men felt awkward sitting there. They went to the pond to catch some fish.

Li Yanchen obliged. As long as they avoided talking about the goji berries, he wouldn’t mind doing anything.

In the reeds, the children were playing hide-and-seek. Li Zexuan had found a shady place to lay down. Xiao Yi sat beside Li Zexuan. Li Zexin picked a huge lotus leaf to fan Xiao Yi.

“Whose brother are you actually?” Li Zexuan looked at Li Zexin with disdain.

“Yours, of course!” Li Zexin smirked. He turned to Xiao Yi. “Is this okay? Does it feel a bit cooler?”

“You’re not tired?” Xiao Yi asked with his eyes closed.

“My hands need to be trained so that they can be more flexible when playing games,” said Li Zexin with determination. “I want to work for you as soon as possible.”

Li Zexuan couldn’t listen to it anymore. “Li Zexin, you shameless flatterer!”

“When do you think I can join in and play with you?” asked Li Zexin.

Xiao Yi turned the other way and ignored him. “You are blocking the wind.”

Li Zexin begged, “Please!”

“If you don’t go away, I’m going to get angry.”

“Alright, alright. I am going.” Li Zexin resentfully went to Li Zexuan’s side.

In the reeds, the young children were still playing hide-and-seek.

Wheatley was the oldest among the five kids, so she asked to be in the same team as Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan. She felt that it was her responsibility to look after them as an older sister. Meanwhile, Li Zekai, who was the second oldest, looked after Feifei.

The camera was mounted on a tree branch close to the reeds and was able to capture images of the entire reed patch.

Tao Jingyuan, who was worried about Feifei, went to check on him in the reeds. The place was much smaller than she had imagined. Li Zekai held Feifei’s hands, and they were playing happily. Tao Jinyuan believed she was still overly anxious. She looked at the children playing joyfully and sat down under a shade to watch them.

In the wilderness north of the village, Ji Hanzhi met Lin Wan once again. She pretended to be digging for purslane and got closer to where Lin Wan was.

“Lin Wan, I just wanted to say that you don’t need to misunderstand anything. I know this is a very awkward situation for both of us. That night, he only took me to the hospital and stayed there with me. But nothing happened. What could even happen in a hospital except anxiety and medicines,” said Ji Hanzhi as she chuckled. In her heart, she wanted to create conflict between Lin Wan and Li Yanchen. “It was a surprise to me too that we were in the same show. I have already let go of the past and all the rumors people spread about me and him. It seems he is still unable to forget it. I have no thoughts about him.”

Lin Wan put more strength into her digging. She looked around. “Is there no camera here? Seeing as how hard you have been trying to clarify things, you should let everyone know.”

Lin Wan really wanted to dig a hole and bury Ji Hanzhi in it. Lin Wan was aware of what she was trying to do. On the surface, she looked like she was assuring her, but her words tried to imply otherwise. Lin Wan wondered how she couldn’t see this woman’s intentions before.

“I’ve already said it in the live broadcast room. I won’t give in to you for the sake of Yanchen in today’s competition. Even though he accompanied me to watch the morning sunrise that day at the hospital, how can Chongzhou’s sunrise be compared to that of Lan Mountain?” Now, Ji Hanzhi was just trying to piss Lin Wan off.

Meanwhile, Lin Wan remained calm. “Really? Except for that one mission where we were required to climb the Lan Mountain to watch the sunrise, I have never before gone to watch a sunrise with him before.”

Ji Hanzhi smiled smugly. But Lin Wan continued, “Li Yanchen is such a dog at night. He will be too exhausted to even open his eyes in the morning to watch the sunrise. Even if we win, we won’t really be watching the sunrise in the Lanshan Sungazing Homestay, we probably won’t even get enough sleep and will be exhausted in the morning.”

Xia Mo heard the conversation and was walking toward Lin Wan to help her out of the situation but as she got closer, she heard Lin Wan’s scathing words. Xia Mo laughed. “I know you two have a good relationship. Others will probably be jealous of you Lin Wan. It’s said that the Lanshan Sungazing Homestay can enhance the relationship between husband and wife even more. If we actually win, please keep it down at night. You can hold back until the sunrise. It will make the scene even more romantic.”

Ji Hanzhi’s face turned green. Lin Wan wasn’t flustered at all. But Hanzhi was about to explode from rage.

Three years ago, she had sought out the hotel where Li Yanchen was staying in. Ji Hanzhi had requested to meet him, but Li Yanchen had refused. She had insisted on waiting at the hotel lobby until late that night when Li Yanchen finally made his way downstairs.

At that time, Ji Hanzhi had wished that Li Yanchen would hug her, but he didn’t. He kept his hands in his pockets and didn’t move from where he stood a little away from her.

For the past three years, no one had ever appeared at Li Yanchen’s side. In fact, there weren’t even rumors about anyone else in his life. Ji Hanzhi had even thought that Li Yanchen was a naturally cold and aloof person who didn’t like women at all. However, when she arrived at Lan Village yesterday, she had seen how close Li Yanchen and Lin Wan were. They didn’t even let go of each other’s hands.

The little comfort she had was about to be destroyed. Ji Hanzhi dug into the vegetable patch with her shovel.

Lin Wan carried her basket. “I think this is enough. Let’s go.”

Xia Mo shook off the mud on the small shovel and gave Lin Wan a thumbs up with her back facing Ji Hanzhi. “Ji Hanzhi is going to explode in anger because of you. Even I feel good looking at her being like that,” whispered Xia Mo.

“It’s bad luck to go home now,” Lin Wan said as she quickened her pace.

Nannan saw Ji Hanzhi sitting on the ground in a daze. She walked over to her. “What’s wrong?”

Ji Hanzhi, who felt insulted, could only swallow her words and squeeze out a smile. “I just spoke to Lin Wan. She is so different from the first episode. Did she really not reply to people when they were stacking her before?”

“You two talked?” Nannan asked.

“Just exchanged a few words,” said Ji Hanzhi. “So, one of the families will win the competition today. Are you ready for it?” Ji Hanzhi felt that her fighting spirit was restored. She had heard the legend of Lanshan Sungazing Homestay. Even if she didn’t have anyone to enjoy the sunrise with, she definitely would not let Lin Wan and Li Yanchen win.

“You’ll definitely have no problem. Let’s hurry up and prepare two sets of ingredients. That way, we can handle it.” As Nannan spoke, her hands moved fast.
