208 Are You an Octopus?
âWhoever has done the most weeding will win. If you canât complete all the weeding, then the one left with the least grass in the area will be the winner.â
The match had entered the countdown.
Xiao Tianlin and Zheng Kuo were so tired that they couldnât even raise their arms. However, in order to set an example and not embarrass the children, they still persisted until the end.
With his extraordinary physical strength, Michael weeded the grass. He had even dug ten centimeters below the roots. However, he still had the most grass left except when compared to Xiao Tianlin.
!!
Luo Xi and Li Yanchen had both finished at the same time, so they could ot see who had cleared the field first.
As for the women, Xia Mo had won. When Lin Wan looked at Li Yanchen and realized both him and Luo Xi were at the same speed, she couldnât decide what to do. She had grabbed a handful of grass and dawdled for a long time.
Nannan was physically weak and had already given up on the task before she even reached halfway.
In the childrenâs area, the five children sat down in the field and started singing a childrenâs song after they were halfway done weeding.
The director announced the result of the match:
â1st place in the fatherâs category goes to Li Yanchen. First place in the motherâs category goes to Xia Mo.â
âSee?â Xiao Tianlin said happily, âAlthough I didnât win, my wife did! If she gets the endorsement, then I will get it too.â
Lin Wan was confused. âDidnât Xiao Tianlin know that the winners in the mother and father category were different?â
It meant that Xia Mowould be endorsing the product with Li Yanchen.
âBrother Xiao, Sister Xia got the endorsement, but that doesnât mean you got the endorsement too. The winner from the fatherâs category is Mr. Li. Which means, Sister Xia and Mr. Li will be the ones endorsing Aihua Sportswear,â explained Michael.
Xiao Tianlinâs face was lit up with a smile. âI know. Brother Li is practically family. So, I am not worried about them endorsing the product together. Besides, Xiaâs win is still a win for me in my heart.â
Li Yanchen was speechless.
[Xiao Tianlin is silly and sweet? He clearly is a father to a top student like Xiao Yi.]
[Why do you say that? He is a good person and knows how to be happy for his wife. Teacher Xia and Mr. Li are good friends anyway.]
[Everyone in the Xiao family is very simple and direct. Donât misinterpret it.]
[Thatâs right. So, what if he sincerely wishes the other winning father the best?]
âThe winners are Li Yanchen and Xia Mo. They will be endorsing the products together. The other guests also performed very well. The children, especially, worked very hard. They all insisted on staying within the competition area.â
âLetâs give a round of applause to the winning parents. Everyone is free to do whatever they want and will end the broadcast at seven at night.â
âDaddy, you won!â Li Zekai hugged Li Yanchen.
âMr. Li, I didnât expect you to have such skill.â Li Zexuan looked at his father with admiration. âI thought you only knew how to do business. You can actually do such a good job of weeding, too.â
Li Yanchen straightened his back and raised his chin, pretending to be nonchalant. âWhatâs so difficult about that? Itâs just a competition to see who has more strength and stamina.â
[Mr. Liâs words are annoying, but I like how confident he is.]
[The knot in Li Yanchenâs heart about being older than Lin Wan will never be untied no matter what. Heâs only focused on proving that heâs young and energetic.]
[Everyone, donât expose him. This is Mr. Liâs last stubbornness.]
[Mr. Liâs conclusion is so incorrect. Michael is a fitness coach. Just because he didnât win, does it mean that he isnât strong?]
[Hahaha. I like Mr. Liâs smug expression.]
[Mr. Li really loves Sister Wan so much. He was so desperate even when pulling grass.]
[Sob, sob. Brother Luo Xi lost.]
[Brother is still young. He will have plenty of opportunities. Besides, Xia Mo won in the motherâs category. Brother Luo Xi and Xia Mo wouldnât match. Mr. Li and Xia Mo would look more suitable endorsing the product.]
[Who is this? How has Xia Mo offended you?]
All the fans started to argue with each other.
[Theyâve already left. Stop arguing. Letâs go back to the house.]
[Luo Xiâs group of brainless fans.]
[Itâs fine to support your own idol, but why step on others?]
[Thatâs right. The Xiao family has always stood away from the world, and Ms. Xia is a super nice person. Ms. Xia is an internet celebrity. Just looks donât make a person anyway. There is no need to insult her based on her age and her looks. In our hearts, Xia Mo will always be the most beautiful.]
[Your brother is not worthy of anyone, okay? Heâs beautiful alone.]
Xia Moâs and Lin Wanâs fans united and fought against Luo Xiâs fans. In the end, Luo Xiâs live broadcast room lost the war of words.
On the way back, Xia Mo held Lin Wanâs hand. âWill you take the endorsement, please?â
Lin Wan shook her head. âNo. I told Mr. Li as well. None of you are allowed to give in. You both look good together.â
âBut Wanwanâ¦â Xia Mo was hesitant.
âXiaxia, this is your chance! Besides, this is something fresh. I am sure the viewers are already fed up of seeing me and Li Yanchen together every time. You two can do it!â Lin Wan sincerely congratulated her friend.
âOkay. Wanwan, youâre the best!â Xia Mo leaned on Lin Wanâs shoulder.
Li Yanchen and Xiao Tianlin also talked among themselves. âBrother Li, are you an octopus? When you were weeding, your hands moved so fast. I got dizzy looking at you. Do you want to learn to play games from my son? With your speed, I can guarantee you will be the King of gaming in a month.â
Li Yanchen didnât know what to say.
âBrother Li, I am happy you were selected to work with Xia Mo. Our families will get closer.â Xiao Tianlin was genuinely happy. He wrapped his arm around Li Yanchenâs shoulder.
Li Yanchen felt extremely uncomfortable. Every time he tried to push Xiao Tianlinâs hands away, he would grab on even tighter than before. After a while, Li Yanchen gave up on struggling to break free.
Not far away, Michael followed Luo Xi and Zheng Kuo.
âLuo Xi, Teacher Zheng, letâs walk together.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHello, Wheatleyâs father, you did very well today. And Luo Xi, you almost won!â
âTeacher Zheng, you were also very good, but your shovel is too dull.â
...
The three people, who lost the game, praised each other.
Tao Jingyuan held Feifeiâs hand and walked to Zheng Kuoâs side. â Hubby, what are we having for dinner? Iâll go home and make it.â
âAnything is fine. By the way, make some extra portions. Iâm afraid that Jiejie and the others wonât have enough again, so we will ask them to come to our house tonight.â
âAright. I will invite Lin Wan,â said Tao Jingyuan.
âTeacher zheng, can we freeload a meal too?â asked Michael jokingly.
âSure. Everyone, come to my house for dinner tonight.â Zheng Kuo shouted.
âJiejie! Jian Jia! My father wants you all to come to my house for dinner today,â said Feifei when he heard his fatherâs words.
âIâll have to ask my father,â Li Zekai said hesitantly.
âNo need to ask,â said Li Zexuan. âMr. Li told me to tell you that we are going to Feifeiâs house for dinner tonight. Auntie Tao invited us.â
âYay! Jiejie, letâs play clay together!â Feifei jumped for joy.
âJian Jia, your dad and my dad are walking together. They must have agreed on it. Letâs go to my house directly,â said Feifei, holding ZJian Jiaâs hands.
...
âOkay, but I need to go home first to get my paintings. Iâll give them to you guys later.â
âSister Wheatley, your father is also in the front. Letâs go together,â said Jian Jia as he glanced at Wheatley, who was walking alone.
âAlright!â said Wheatley happily. She had just been wondering why no one invited her and thought maybe it was because she was the only girl in the childrenâs group. She was happy that Jian Jia took the initiative to ask her to accompany him.
