Tao Jingyuan looked at her sonâs face.
âYouâve completely smeared it. You little foodie, did you eat at Jiejieâs house?â
âI ate at Brother Xiao Yiâs house. I wasnât sneaking. Auntie Lin let us eat. Mom, please help me wipe it off quickly. I donât look handsome anymore.â Feifei handed a small towel to Tao Jingyuan.
âWipe your mouth first, then your face, and finally your hands. There you go, Feifei still looks handsome.â
[Tao Lawyer is so gentle. Sheâs totally different from when sheâs arguing as a lawyer.]
[Feifei is so young, but he knows what looking handsome means. Did Jiejie teach him?]
[Exactly! Jiejie is so full of himself. He said he styled his hair with wax today.]
[Jiejie learned it from Xuanxuan. Xuanxuan is the most image-conscious in that family.]
[Everyone likes looking beautiful or handsome. Itâs good.]
[Exactly! Whatâs wrong with paying attention to oneâs appearance? Taking care of yourself is the basic respect you offer to others who look upon you.]
[Feifei is so cute when he asks if he looks handsome.]
Feifei walked up to the camera again to make sure his face was clean. He looked left and right, and then at his own face. He mumbled to himself. âHmm, Mom didnât lie.â
âMom, could you also help me get the 3D printing pen? I want to print little butterflies for Jiejie and the others.â [So, Feifei went home to get toys.]
[Whatâs a 3D printing pen?]
[I donât know either. I just looked it up, and I canât believe such a thing exists. Well, Iâm behind the times.]
[Iâm the uncultured one here. Itâs my first time hearing about this too.] [Iâve seen it in jokes before, but I didnât expect it to be real.]
Suddenly, the 3D printing pen became a hot topic in the comments.
Tao Jingyuan took out a blue magic wand-like printing pen from the storage cabinet. âThe materials are inside.â
âThanks, Mom.â Feifei grabbed the bag and quickly ran to Jiejieâs house. âWeâll draw here.â Feifei poured the materials and pen onto the table.
âSure, this can also help Uncle Su with his livestream.â The three boys sat together.
âCan this really print things?â Jiejie hadnât tried it before.
Feifei pressed the power button. A red light blinked, and he touched the penâs tip with his hand. âItâs preheating. Letâs print a butterfly for Jiejie first, then a pagoda.â
From the small hole at the tip, the material melted, and Feifei started drawing on a mat. Soon, the butterfly was complete. He turned off the button.
Waiting for the material to cool down, he used a spatula to scrape the mat a few times. An actual three-dimensional butterfly emerged.
âItâs done.â
âWow, you can really print butterflies, and theyâre also three-dimensional!â Jiejie carefully held the wings of the butterfly.
[Feifei is so amazing. With just a few strokes, he created a lifelike butterfly.]
[I have a pen like that, and the things I print look similar, but not as much as Feifeiâs.]
[Feifei must be skilled in drawing, thatâs why heâs so good with clay too. Art skills really interconnect.]
[I want to buy this for my child too. It looks like so much fun.]
[Ordered.]
After that, Feifei printed a pagoda for Li Zekai.
[Are the little ones deliberately staying here because thereâs no one streaming?]
[Yes, Jiejie said that Dad isnât at home streaming, so maybe his salary will be deducted. They thought they might as well stream here.]
[Exactly, I heard that too. Jiejie is getting more and more sensible.]
Huo Meijunâs phone screen flickered in front of her close friends. âMy grandson is growing up.â
âYes, yes. Can you finally relax and play Mahjong now?â
Huo Meijun was grinning. She seemed to have forgotten that she was angry with her son about her grandsonâs eating habits not too long ago.
âMeijun, Xiaowei is all grown up now. You should let him be. Weâre already grandparents. Itâs better to take care of yourself and not cause trouble for others.â
âI agree with Fangfang. Iâve already kicked out my kids. After raising my son and daughter and seeing them get married, my task is done. They have their own little families to manage now. Iâm now only responsible for enjoying my life.â
âYou two are great. My own son is worse than Xiaowei. At least Xiaowei has his own career. My son just keeps asking his father for money. Itâs been years since they got married, and heâs out early and back late every day. I donât know what heâs up to. I feel tired worrying about him.â
Huo Meijun nodded. âSu Wei keeps saying that Iâm overly anxious. There are so many cameras in the show. I shouldnât worry. I mean, what could happen to Tutu anyway?
âItâs good that you can think that way.â
âKeep going, keep going.â
At Lan Village, Tutu half-knelt on a stool and looked at the barrage of comments.
[Tutu, are you reading our comments?]
[Tutu, youâre in third grade now, right? You should be able to understand.]
âHello, brothers and sisters. Iâm in fourth grade now, and I can recognize most of the words youâre writing.â
[Tutu is livestreaming! Sweetie, I really like you.]
[Tutu, did you bring your homework? Why havenât we seen you doing it?]
[Sweetie, are you cold? Button up your clothes.]
âIâm not cold. Iâm fat. Iâve finished all my homework. Dad made me finish it during the winter break. Now I can play every day.â
Seeing Tutu interacting with everyone, Li Zekai also joined in.
[Tutu, youâre really hardworking. You finished all your homework already!]
[He is so adorable and funny. Youâre so thick-skinned. Not afraid of the cold, huh? Hahahaâ¦]
âTutu, are you chatting with the brothers and sisters in the comments?â Li Zekai asked.
âYes, Jiejie. Letâs talk to everyone together. I canât manage it alone.â âSure, Iâm the vocabulary expert in our class,â Li Zekai said confidently. [Jiejie, did you put hair wax on today?]
âI donât have bugs on my hair. Iâm very clean. I wash my hair every day. I definitely wouldnât put bugs on myself.â
âJiejie, they said hair wax, not worms,â said Tutu.
Li Zekai hadnât expected to be corrected so quickly. He touched his nose in embarrassment. âI misunderstood.â
âTutu, can you read to me? I donât recognize as many characters as you do.â [Jiejie, Feifei, itâs even funnier when you recognize the wrong characters.]
âThis sister says Itâs okay to make mistakes, and itâs cute when you read it wrongly,â said Tutu.
So, Feifei and Li Zekai started to guess the characters in the comments. [Jiejie, between you and your brother, whoâs the most handsome?]
âI recognize all these characters. Of course, Iâm the most handsome,â Li Zekai said without hesitation.
[Which part of you is more handsome than your brother?]
âEvery part of me is more handsome than my brother.â
âJiejie, youâre so narcissistic.â Tutu was embarrassed for him. [Jiejie, do you have a girl you like? Maybe a crush?]
âHuh? I only like pretty little girls.â
[Hahaha, Iâm dying of laughter. Did Jiejie mistake the word âcrushâ for âuglyâ?]
[Everyone, quickly ask something personal about Mr. Li and Lin Wan. Maybe
Jiejie will reveal something.]
âI donât understand this sentence. What does it mean?â
Tutu whispered in Li Zekaiâs ear, âJiejie, you can ask me if you donât understand some words. Donât say random things..â
