55 The Scarf Was Hidden
Lin Wan was a little tired. She leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.
She dreamt about a large field where gardenias bloomed, and she stood in the middle of the flower field. Her grandma walked to her with a smile and touched her braids. âWanwan, did you fall down again? Does it hurt? Show me your wound and grandma will blow on it. If it hurts, just cry. You donât need to be so strong. Just cry it out.â
Lin Wanâs eyes started to tear up. She was only wearing all the thorns to protect herself!
The car shifted from light to dark to light again. Li yanchen noticed a small tear drop at the corner of Lin Wanâs eyes.
!!
He frowned. He reached out to wipe her tears away but was afraid of waking her. His hand hovered in the air, just out of reach, then dropped down
The car finally stopped at the village entrance. The live broadcast room opened again.
Lin Wan was woken up by Li Yanchen, and she got out of the car in a daze.
The production team announced that tonightâs activities would be delayed by an hour to let everyone spend time with their children to see what they had bought for their parents.
[Thatâs great! I really want to see the expressions on the parentsâ faces when they see the gifts from their little ones.]
[You guys just want to see Lin Wanâs expression when she doesnât get a gift, right?]
After getting out of the car, the children rushed to their parents, wanting to give them the gifts immediately.
Lin Wanâs face was expressionless as she followed Song Jing. She was glad she had agreed to livestream a makeover with Song Jing. She didnât want to go home and be disappointed knowing that her three stepsons wouldnât have bought her anything.
âSongJing, letâs do the livestream early,â said Lin Wan.
âDonât you want to go back and look at the gift first?â Song Jing asked despite knowing the answer.
âAre you broadcasting or not? If not, then I am going to go back and rest. I sleep at nine at night,â Lin Wan tried to change the topic.
âBroadcast?â asked Li Yanchen.
âI promised Song Jing that I would be her model. You guys can go back first.â
Li Yanchen didnât want Lin Wan to go to Song Jingâs house. But he understood that his three sons might not have bought her anything, so it was better if she found something else to do to get her mind off it.
âCome back early.â The man put his hands in his pockets and nodded.
Li Zexuan was speechless. He tightened his grip on the gift bag that had the scarf. Fortunately, he had a back-up plan.
Back home, Li Zexin proudly gave his father the cup he had bought. âDad, you donât need to drink tea from a bowl anymore. I bought you a cup.â
Li Yanchen had not expected his most rebellious child to have such a soft heart. He took the cup. âThe green frog certainly looks⦠unique. But the cup is big and very practical.â
Li Zexin narrowed his eyes. âBest if you hadnât said the first sentence. I am going to go find Xiao Yi.â
Li Yanchen put the cup away and turned to his other two sons.
Li Zexuan touched his nose. âI didnât buy you anything. Iâm going to sleep.â He got up, took the bag and went to his room. He hid the bag with the scarf.
[What does he mean by that? Did he buy the scarf for Lin Wan?]
[Thatâs impossible! Maybe he is saving the scarf for himself.]
[Xuanxuan really knows how to live. He bought it because there was a discount.]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Top class but wearing a scarf thatâs less than a hundred Yuan. Xuanxuan is really thrifty.]
âDaddy, I bought some sour candy. Do you want some? â Li Zekai asked.
Li Yanchen saw that his youngest sonâs bag was filled with sour candies. âDo you want to share one with Auntie Lin?â
âSure. I bought a lot. Everyone can have one each. Just one, though.â Li Zekai patted his bulging bag.
Although it was a present for everyone, Lin Wan would probably be happy to receive it.
In the live-stream room of Wheatleyâs house, Wheatley put the hairpin on Nannaâs hair. Nannan kissed Wheatleyâs cheek.
At Xiao Yiâs house, Xiao Yi was holding two books. His fans cheered. They knew a top student would definitely buy books.
In Tutuâs house, Tutu had spent all his money on himself. Su Wei and Xu Xiaoxiao didnât get anything. Su Wei felt that it was better this way. If they both didnât get anything, Xu Xiaoxiao didnât need to feel embarrassed alone.
Anan held a big cup of milk tea in her hands. âMom, you always say that you crave milk tea. So, I bought you a super big cup. Are you happy?â
Song Jing didnât know whether to laugh or cry. Yang smiled and touched her daughterâs head. âYour mother is on a diet. She only said that because she wanted to drink it but couldnât.â
âOh no! Mommy, please, just a little sip.â Anan pushed the milk tea in front of Song Jing.
Song Jing looked at the cup full of milk tea and almost drooled. She loved milk tea. Before her diet, she used to drink it every time. After she decided to lose some weight, she hadnât drunk it for almost a year. She closed her eyes and took a sip. After she drank it, she began running around the house.
[Song Jing is so cute, is she trying to burn the calories on the spot?]
[Youâre just like me when Iâm trying to lose weight. Itâs so unbearable to see something I love but to be unable to eat it.]
[Thatâs why only ruthless people can successfully lose weight.]
[Is Lin Wan envious? I think sheâs been staring at that cup from the beginning.]
[Maybe. She didnât receive anything.]
âAlright, Anan, go and play with daddy for a while. Mommy and Auntie are going to start the livestream.â Song Jing knew that this interaction might make Lin Wan feel awkward, so she deliberately sent her daughter away.
[Songsongâs EQ is so high. Sheâs so considerate.]
[I believe that she and Lin Wan were good friends in the past.]
[Sisters, is your makeup box ready? Follow Songsongâs steps and learn.]
Song Jing had Lin Wan lie down on the recliner while the camera zoomed in on Lin Wanâs face.
[Lin Wanâs skin is so good under the HD camera.]
[Whatâs so good about that? Songsong helped her put on makeup this afternoon.]
[Donât be jealous. Lin Wan is a model now. Letâs see Songsongâs face-changing skills. Sheâs doing a live broadcast of European makeup tonight.]
[Lin Wan has a kind of classical beauty. European makeup is the complete opposite.]
...
âItâs starting.â Song Jing whispered into Lin Wanâs ear as he began to remove her makeup in the afternoon.
After applying layer after layer of makeup remover, face wash, and cleansing gel, Lin Wanâs skin appeared in its most authentic state.
In front of the camera, the pores on Lin Wanâs face could be seen, but she closed her eyes and did not seem to care.
[Did you do semi-permanent makeup? Why do you still look so good without makeup?]
Lin Wanâs eyes were closed. She looked like Sleeping Beauty from the fairy tale.
[Her eyebrows are thin, but they donât look like theyâre tattooed. Her eye sockets are deep, and her nose bridge is high. Sheâs really beautiful.]
[What a waste of a face! If she was a good person, she wouldnât have attracted so much hate.]
[What kind of skin care product does Lin Wan use? Her skin is so well maintained.]
It was clearly Song Jingâs stream, but everyone seemed to be more concerned about Lin Wanâs face.
