Chapter 274: Childhood Days

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ning Xiaoxiao was known as the Nation’s Daughter in the entertainment industry. She was loved by children and the elderly alike. Almost everyone knew her from “Mengmeng’s Records”.

Her father, Ning Jiangyuan, was the chairman of Jiangyuan Trading. Her mother, Zhou Pei, was Ning Xiaoxiao’s manager. She ran an advertising company. Ning Xiaoxiao’s parents had significant power and influence.

Ning Xiaoxiao had a strict upbringing. She was a top student in her school.

Lin Wan recalled Ning Xiaoxiao’s background. She was worried about Xie Wanyu.

In the Li family’s live broadcast room, the four of them sat in front of the camera and greeted their fans.

[Xuanxuan, you’re here!]

[It’s been so long since the last episode. I’ve missed you so much, my baby.]

[Xuanxuan, long time no see. Have you lost weight?]

[Xiaoxiao is here too! I want to see Xiaoxiao and Xuanxuan together!]

[Xuanxuan and Xiaoxiao are a perfect match. They’ve both been raised well.]

[Xiaoxiao is only in her first year of high school, okay? Don’t complicate things. Xuanxuan belongs to all of us!]

[Xiaoxiao and Xuanxuan are both children right now. Everyone, stop talking nonsense.]

Wheatley’s popularity had decreased a lot compared to the last episode. In the past, she had almost a hundred thousand fans. Now, there were only 10,000 of them. Most of them had gone to the Li family and the Ning family’s live broadcast channel.

[Wheatley, we’re here for you!]

[It’s been too long. Hello, Sister Nannan and Michael!]

[Wheatley doesn’t look so happy. Is she feeling unwell?]

[Is it because the popularity has gone down? Don’t be disappointed. We are still here for you.]

[Ning Xiaoxiao and Li Zexuan are both top celebrities, so the others might have switched to their live broadcast channels. It’s to be expected.]

Nannan put her arm around Wheatley’s shoulder. “I see… No one is allowed to leave this live broadcast room today. If you do, I might break your legs,” said Nannan jokingly.

[I am definitely not leaving! If I do, I’ll break my own legs.]

[Nannan is so cute. Don’t worry. We are all hardcore fans of Wheatley. We won’t leave no matter what.]

[Wheatley, I heard that you won a prize for your violin playing. You’re so great! ]

[That’s right. Wheatley won! You are so great! In a few years, you will surpass everyone.]

[Good luck, Wheatley! You can do it!]

[You are already so good, Wheatley. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.]

Wheatley looked at the bullet screen. “Thank you, everyone!”

At Xiao Yi’s house, he placed his laptop on the stone table to play his game.

[Ooh! The Wind God is going to play the King live on camera!]

[Are ordinary people like us allowed to see this?]

[Bah! If the Wind God livestreams while playing his game, I will livestream

myself eating sh*t.]

[I am taking a screenshot of the above comment as proof.]

[No way! Please don’t give us hope. We’ll be disappointed again.]

[He moved the laptop to the courtyard with the screen facing away from us.

People are just blowing this out of proportion.]

[Can’t we at least dream about it? I have long since wanted to see the Wind God in his element while gaming.]

[Right? We can wish for things. What if it comes true?]

Xiao Yi had rarely appeared in the livestream in the previous episodes. The staff specifically asked him to at least show his face on the camera for a few hours every day. That was the reason he brought his laptop out into the courtyard.

Feifei had brought along a box of Bucky Balls along with the clay. It was his new favorite.

After his family greeted the fans, they did what they most liked. Zheng Kuo played the flute. Tao Jingyuan read a book and Feifei played with the BuckyBalls. They didn’t disturb one another.

[Feifei, you are finally here!]

[Hello, Teacher Zheng and Lawyer Tao. I haven’t seen you for so long. I missed your family.]

[Lawyer Tao, I’m here to thank you. I used your method to get back the money that my husband spent on that vixen.]

[I also got the child’s custody.]

[Alright, let’s not talk about the lawsuits for now. Let’s focus on Feifei.]

[He uses his hands so fast. Look, he has already made a few models and a vegetable basket! ]

[Feifei is really talented!]

[My son is in junior high. He also loves playing with BuckyBalls.]

The first mission was announced over the radio. They were all required to gather in the field at one in the afternoon. The first task was a game. Everyone would participate in Cockfighting.

The parents knew about the game, but the children were confused.

“Daddy, is Cockfighting the same as Cricket Fighting?” asked Li Zekai. He had seen the latter on TV.

Li Zexuan knew about Cockfighting because he had acted in period dramas before.

“That’s not what Cockfighting is,” said Li Zexuan. “Also, I hardly think this Cockfighting has anything to do with roosters. It’s a game where two people or more draw one of their legs up and try to push each other so that the only remaining one is the winner.” Li Zexuan drew up one of his legs and folded his hands behind his back to show his brother. “Just like this. You try to balance on just one leg and try to tackle the other person. Whoever places the raised leg down on the ground first will lose.”

“Xuanxuan is right,” said Li Yanchen. “We used to play that when we were young.” He recalled that he used to play that game with his friends in elementary school.

Lin Wan had played it before, too.

“Auntie Lin, do you know about this too?” asked Li Zekai. “Of course,” said Lin Wan. “I used to play it all the time when I was young.” “Will we be divided into two groups?” asked Li Zekai.

“I am not sure,” said Li Yanchen. “It depends on how the Festival Group has prepared it. It can be played with just two players or even more. No matter how it is arranged, I will win.”

Li Zexuan was skeptical of his father. “Oh please! Ms. Lin boasted about being the captain of the cheerleading team and did so badly in that game in the last episode. Are you sure you aren’t the same?”

Lin Wan patted him on the shoulder. “Hey! What do you mean by that? I still won in the end, didn’t I?”

[The first episode was Lin Wan’s nightmare. Does she wish for everyone to forget about that?]

[Lin Wan had become smarter. Now, she knows how to save face.] [Mr. Li and her reaction is the same. I feel like they even look similar.]

[Can you respect Sister Lin a bit more? She is no less than a celebrity now. She has a lot of burden on her shoulders.]

[This is so funny. Lin Wan never cared about her image when she was slandered so badly in the first episode. Why is she so self-conscious now?]

[You will have to ask Lin Wan herself.]

[Let’s ask Lin Wan what made her change.]

Lin Wan saw the comments. “I like to live in the present. The past is the past. I am going to get angry at whoever brings up the past.” She glared at Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan gasped. ‘Ms. Lin is the best! Ms. Lin is the strongest! She can never fail!” He mocked her.

Lin Wan stuffed a ball of tissue into his mouth. “Shut up, you ugly thing!”

[I am once again begging for everyone to make a separate group for Lin Wan and Xuanxuan. They are so funny. It will be so popular.]

[I like how they are with each other. They are so carefree and close.]

[Me too! I like how Lin Wan is with the children. She always talks to them and listens to them. She is more like an elder sister than a parent.]

[Mr. Li, on the contrary, is always so uptight and serious. Just like a parent should be.]

[That’s why the children don’t like him. I feel like parents and children should be like friends. Open and honest.]

[I agree with that. If you use your power as a parent to suppress children, it never ends well. Children should be treated as equals..]
