Can You Not Give the Cake to Lin Wan

“Madam was made to participate in it because of me. As you can see, the comments are so negative. They are as nasty as they can ever get. The young masters arent enjoying themselves either,” said Assistant Qin, worriedly. “Its hard to say if she will participate in the next few episodes.”

“Wow, look! Is Mr. Li fanning Madam” Secretary Han saw Li Yanchen on the screen, holding a fan and pretending to fan himself. However, the man deliberately sat beside Lin Wan and fanned himself in a wide arc so the wind could reach her, too.

“Itll be good if he can find love again,” said Assistant Qin, looking at the screen. “But I cant tell if he still loves the young masters.”

Li Yanchen was indeed fanning Lin Wan. He saw that her forehead was beaded with sweat. But he didnt want anyone thinking he was doing it only for her. So, he pretended to fan himself while directing the breeze towards Lin Wan. However, he was so obvious that anyone watching the livestream could guess what he exactly intended.

Lin Wan was the only one who couldnt guess that Li Yanchen was actually pretending to fan himself but doing it for her. She had simply walked over and sat beside him.

She felt the sweat drip down her forehead, but she was too lazy to do anything about it. Without the pesky children badmouthing her, she finally had some peace and cooled down soon with the air from the fan and got ready to do something.

But she felt too sluggish, so she laid down on the recliner and directed Li Yanchen to wash two bowls of loquats instead.

After the loquats were washed, Lin Wan got up and stretched her arms and legs. She then took the loquats and soaked them in water. She gently lowered the bowl into the well.

When she was young, there was no refrigerator at her grandmas place. The well water had to do. The water in the well was warm in winter and very chilly in the summer. Her grandma would always soak the watermelons in the well water to make them cold and refreshing to eat in the summer. Lin Wan thought that the well water was a natures refrigerator to some extent.

She left the bowl of loquats in the well. She decided to pull them up at night when they were nice and cold.

She had planned to prepare only a bowl. But Li Zexuan had taught her to play guitar in the afternoon, so she decided to prepare two bowls of loquats. She didnt like owing favors to anyone. As for the others, she could forget about it, peeling loquat was quite troublesome, anyway.

Li Yanchen was someone who had lived in the 1990s as well. He understood why Lin Wan was lowering the bowls of loquats in the well. The fruits were warm and fresh, and the weather was warm. If she placed them inside the well water, they would be ice-cold later. He thought Lin Wan was smart.

Li Yanchen was also tired from having barely slept last night. He took his leave and went inside to rest.

He did not go to Lin Wans room. Instead, he walked straight into his youngest sons room and squeezed together with him on his bed. Lin Wan was under the big banyan tree in the courtyard and had no idea that Li Yanchen had gone to his sons room to sleep.

The live broadcast only showed Lin Wan now, resting under the tree, with her eyes closed.

[Everyone in the Xuanxuan family is taking a nap. I dont have to keep watching anymore.]

[Did Lin Wan just put something into the well Your requirements are quite high. Why cant you just eat freshly picked fruits]

[Could it be that shes trying to cool them down so the cubs can eat it when they wake up It will be nice and cold.]

[Thats nonsense.]

The bullet screen scrolled again and slowly fewer and fewer comments appeared.

At three in the afternoon, almost all families were taking a nap because of the heat and exhaustion. The staff issued a notice to inform them that the show could be back at five.

At Tutus House, while Tutu slept, the camera was finally cut off from the house.

Xu Xiaoxiao wept in front of Su Wei. She had been holding it in too long. “Su Wei, lets break up,” she sobbed. “You are a good man and I love you. But I dont think the Su family will ever accept me. I cant live up to your familys expectations no matter what I do. Tomorrow, iwill leave the variety show with Tutu.”

Su Wei placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her. “I am so sorry I made you suffer so much,” he said sadly.When we go back, I can drop Tutu off at his grandmas. We can still build our own little world. I cannot even think of living my life without you.”

Su Wei loved her too much and he wasnt ready to let her go.

Xu Xiaoxiao was still hesitant. “But what about Tutu and me after you leave tomorrow”

“Dont worry. Ill tell Tutu tonight that if he behaves well, we will go back. If he keeps making trouble, I will tell him we will stay here forever,” said Su Wei.

Su Wei felt dejected. He had convinced Tutu to sign up for the show in exchange for his favorite Ultraman cards. He had done it to help Xu Xiaoxiao increase her popularity. He had also done to show to his mother that he loved this woman, and he was going to marry her.

“Tutu wont listen.” In fact, Xu Xiaoxiao didnt want to go back. This variety show was ranked in the third place in the viewership ratings among other shows. No other show could give her as much exposure as this show would.

Besides, unlike yesterdays harsh comments, people actually sympathized with her today. She was unwilling to throw all that away.

“Leave it to me,” said Su Wei firmly. “He will cooperate from tomorrow. I promise you that even if I am not here physically, I will keep a close watch on the live broadcast. If Tutu causes trouble, I will call the director and his team and authorize them to teach him a lesson.”

“But dont break up with me,” he said. “Without you, my life has no meaning.”

“Alright,” sniffled Xu Xiaoxiao. “I will promise to try my best but if I cant take it anymore and my emotion slips in the livestream, dont hate me for it.”

“I could never hate you,” said Su Wei gently and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

...

After more than two hours of rest, the five families regained their energy.

It was not yet five, but smoke already rose from Xiao Xiaos house.

Xia Mo found that the noodles were very good today and she borrowed an oven from the Festival Groups logistics team, deciding to treat everyone to some cake tonight.

The straight-A student took the initiative to go out. This was undoubtedly a highlight to increase the ratings for the show. The staff did not hesitate to give them the oven from the kitchen and even asked if they had enough ingredients.

Without the decorative bag and turntable, Xia Mo could only make a few simple shapes. Fortunately, there were still many fruits in the village, more than enough to make a few fruit cakes.

When the cake was baked, Xiao Yi couldnt wait to eat it, but his hand was slapped away by his mother.

[Its on, its on!]

[I like the Festival Group for being flexible with the time. Its fine if youre a few minutes early. Theres always a surprise.]

[Is mommy Xiao baking a cake]

[Didnt you guys see the guest introduction Mommy Xiao is a dessert chef and has her own dessert shop.]

[Ah! Does she do online classes on baking I always wanted to learn baking.]

[Who wouldnt like a dessert chef]

[Did Brainiac Xiao just try to eat the cake but was slapped away by mom He is also very naughty.]

[Were all mortals, we all have emotions and desires.]

[Shes done a lot. Is she planning to make one for each family]

[F * ck, Im thinking about Lin Wans selfish ham sausage again. Can you not give the cake to Lin Wan]

The last comment got a thumbs up from a few people watching.
