After half an hour, they took a break. The other fathers were panting, but Michael was fine.
Everyone couldnât help but sigh enviously. A professional fitness coach was indeed something else.
Xiao Tianlin tried his best to keep up with the exercises, but he found that he was heavier than the rest of them. He couldnât move as nimbly as the others.
The fathers wiped away their sweat and drank some water.
Xiao Tianlin sat on the ground. He didnât know how many of the viewers had chosen to participate.
The mothers practiced yoga for an hour and a half and then took a break.
They sweated profusely, but they all felt that the day had been utilized well.
Lin Wan drank from her thermos.
âLin Wan, youâre an all-rounder.â Xia MO had known Lin Wan for a few months now, but she had never realized that Lin Wan knew so much about yoga. âNo, I am not,â said Lin Wan. âI just know a little about yoga, thatâs all.â
âSheâs right,â said Nannan. âLin Wan, you are very skilled at this.â
âLin Wanâs talent is like Doraemonâs pocket. If you reach in, you will keep finding new skills.â Xia MO held Lin Wanâs hands.
Lin Wan was embarrassed by the compliments. She rolled up her bedsheet. âWell⦠thatâs all for today. Letâs go home and see if the seafood meals have been delivered.â
They all headed home.
When Lin Wan reached home, she looked around and realized that Li Yanchen and the children werenât there.
sne was contused. âwnatâs gomg onc wnere IS everyone(â sne Knew tnat Ll Yanchen didnât like visiting other people. âDid he go out for a walk?â
When Xia MO arrived at her house, she saw the children in the courtyard doing their experiments, but she didnât see Xiao Tianlin anywhere.
Zhou Pei and Tao Jingyuan also couldnât find their husbands at home. They went out to look for them.
When the two passed by Wheatleyâs house, they saw the fathers working out in the courtyard. Nannan was standing at the gate as she watched them. Xia MO asked the children in her courtyard if they had seen Xiao Tianlin anywhere.
They told her that he had gone with the other fathers to Wheatleyâs house. Lin Wan saw that the mothers had gathered at the gate of Nannanâs house, so she made her way to them.
The mothers stood at the gate and whispered to each other as they watched their husbands work out.
âThey are working out⦠When did they start?â
âI donât know.â
Nannan turned to them. âWhen I got home, I saw them like thisâ¦â
âYou donât know how this happened, either?â
âI have no ideaâ¦
âDid they see us doing yoga and decided to work out as a group too?â
âThey were probably bored, so they agreed to it. I think itâs a good idea.â Xia MO watched Xiao Tianlin struggle. This workout would be especially useful for him.
âLin Wan, your Mr. Li has a nice figure. Look, his muscles arenât any smaller than Michaelâs,â Nannan whispered to Lin Wan.
Lin Wanâs face was red. Although only a bit of his arms and legs were exposed, she knew how much muscle he had from her experience.
The naked image of Li Yanchen flitted through her mind. She remembered the feeling when he pulled her close, lifted her hand, and placed it on his chest.
âThis is evil and sinful!â Lin Wan closed her eyes.
The five fathers were too engrossed in working out to notice the crowd at the gate outside the courtyard.
After another round of exercise, the fathers finally stopped to drink some water and take a break.
Michael walked to the camera.
[Coach Michael, how long are we going to practice today?]
[Itâs been almost an hour. My legs are sore.]
[The mothers have dispersed. I just saw Sister Lin in the Li familyâs live broadcast room for a while before she headed out.]
[Are the mothers peeking from the gate? I donât see them anywhere.]
[Thatâs possible.]
Michael saw the crowd outside the courtyard. The other men also saw their wives there.
Xiao Tianlin was out of breath. He approached Xia MO without a word.
Li Yanchen was pleased with himself. âWanwan, I havenât caused any trouble, have I? Am I not handsome while working out?â âTsk, â said Xia Mo. âCould you two be any more explicit?â
âYour relationship is very enviable,â said Nannan.
âI am so jealous. Mr. Li, could you please give a lesson to the other old men there on how to coax their wives with sweet words?â asked Tao Jingyuan. âI want Zheng to talk to me like that too, but he never gets the hint.â
âI agree,â said Zhou Pei. âMy Ning isnât any better. If people didnât know better, they would think we were brothers, instead of husband and wife. He doesnât ever talk sweetly with me. Never flirts. I should send him to Mr. Liâs place to learn a thing or two.â
Lin Wan was embarrassed. âMr. Li only does that occasionally. He doesnât do it every time, I swear.â
âDonât be so humble. Mr. Li, can vou teach them?â
âSure,â Li Yanchen replied.
Lin Wan was speechless. The other men assembled there were also at a loss for words.
The staff was stunned, too. They whispered backstage. They wondered what had driven the guests to do things like these. Each one of them had become so inspirational.
The guests had come up with the idea of yoga and workout sessions all on their own.
The director made a last-minute decision to give each family two more seafood dishes. They had burned so many calories today that the food was well-deserved. They needed to replenish their strength for tomorrowâs task.
At four in the evening, the seafood was delivered to every house.
Steamed swimming crab, steamed abalone, boiled oysters, and boiled spotted shrimp were the four dishes offered to every family.
The Festival Group also delivered small packages of soy sauce and mustard to go with the food. The parents called the children home.
The families were just about to unwrap the food and take a bite when an announcement rang through the loudspeaker. âEveryone, enjoy your food.
Please gather at Feifeiâs house at 7 p.m. for a new mission.â
âWhat?!â Xia Moâs hands paused over the oysters. âWhat kind of mission do we have now?
âWhat could it be? It might not be a competition. Feifeiâs house is too small for a competition,â said Xiao Tianlin.
Xiao Yi only cared about the food in front of him. After eating, he wanted to go and play basketball with Li Zexuan.
Lin Wan was in the process of pounding the fruits to make some fruit tea when the announcement blared through the loudspeaker. She couldnât hear the announcement properly.
âIsnât it dark at seven? What will we do at Feifeiâs house at night? Maybe itâs a clay modeling competition!â said Li Zekai in excitement.
âThat sounds possible,â said Li Zexuan. âI am sure I am not very good at that.
Mr. Li will be even worse at it. He isnât a very good craftsman.â
âI am good at it! I can win!â Li Zekai was full of confidence. âAuntie Lin is so good at making cakes. I am sure she will be great at clay modeling, too. I want to compete with Auntie Lin.â
âYou go and have fun,â said Li Zexuan. He didnât want to compete with his little brother. Besides, the childish activity of clay modeling was simply beneath him.
[They have another mission?]
[If the mission is happening at 7 p.m. then we can watch them longer. This is great!]
[Is Jiejie correct? Is it a clay modeling competition?]
[Finally, a mission that Feifei is good at! The Festival Group is playing fair this time.]
[Donât be happy so early. We donât know if it really is a clay modeling competition. Besides, itâs not like you will get to model clay with Feifei anyway.]
[What if itâs a cooking competition?]
[Let them eat first. Perhaps something exciting is waiting for us all.]
[Yes..]
