Chapter 26

Bring It On

It was the last day for Guoguo’s family. Guoguo was a little reluctant to leave. Even though she was a regular at the ‘We Are Also Very Ordinary’ show, Shen Man could see the reluctance in her daughter’s eyes for the first time.

She stroked the child’s head. “Guoguo, it’s alright. You can always add them on WeChat. Although the show will be over, you can always keep your friendship and contact them.”

Guoguo picked up her smartwatch and prepared to add them to her social media.

In the live broadcast room, the number of viewers in the morning was much fewer than the previous night, but the screen was still full of discussions about Li Zexuan’s family.

[Who made this pot of porridge?]

[Who cares? Xuanxuan just needs to eat his fill.]

[Tearing their name tags at ten, the five people from the Xuanxuan family will definitely win.]

[Isn’t this unfair to other families? There are three people or more in the other families, but Tutu’s family only has two.]

[Tutu is not up yet. Xu Xiaoxiao is eating breakfast alone]

[As expected, without daddy’s support, the little tyrant has become more obedient.]

At Li Zexuan’s house, Lin Wan looked at everyone seriously. “Our family has the most members. So, it will look like bullying. So, I will not participate.”

“Ms. Lin, you are an adult! How can you hide from the game? Besides, the Festival group had already made the name tags. The most important thing is participation,” said Li Zexin.

“With you and Jiejie ignored, we have the only three competent members in our family anyway, same as always,” said Li zexuan.

[Xuanxuan, I’m dying of laughter.]

[This sarcasm is on fleek.]

[Hahahaha]

[Xuanxuan, if you know how to talk, then say more.]

Lin Wan was speechless. Li Yanchen wanted to laugh but he tried his best to hold it in. Meanwhile Li Zexin sniggered.

“I am competent!” said Li Zekai.

“How dare you? I was the captain of the track and field team of my school,” said Lin Wan, provoked by Li Zexuan’s words. ‘Did he just call me incompetent?’ She decided to participate and prove him wrong.

[Did it strike a nerve in Lin Wan?]

[Why do I feel that she will drag everyone down if she participates? I keep feeling that she will tear off her family’s name tag instead of others.]

[She can’t be that stupid, right? I think she’ll, at most, block her family’s way.]

[What a waste! I hope Xuanxuan wins, but I hope Lin Wan gets ruthlessly defeated.]

[Let’s wait for her to go on stage first. Maybe she’ll run away.]

The discussion about the game became more and more intense, and the fans all supported different teams.

Everyone decided to go to Lin Guoguo’s house to help wash vegetables and prepare for lunch. This way, once the match was over, Lin Tong could just put the vegetables into a pot and cook quickly.

There was still an hour before the match, so everyone gathered in a circle and talked to each other.

“Why isn’t Xu Xiaoxiao here yet?” Nannan asked.

“I went to her house. Tutu is still sleeping. She said she would wake him up at nine.” When Shen Man invited Xu Xiaoxiao over for breakfast in the morning, Xu Xiaoxiao looked helpless. She had said that Tutu was the quietest when he was asleep, so she was letting him sleep longer.

“That’s a lot of trouble. Alright, since Su Wei isn’t here today, we’ll help Xu Xiaoxiao with Tutu after the match,” Xia Mo suggested. Everyone agreed.

At Tutu’s House, Xu Xiaoxiao took a picture of him sleeping and sent it to Su Wei. “Don’t worry. Tutu is being very obedient.”

Su Wei replied with a kiss emoji.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the sleeping child with a fierce look in her eyes. ‘You little brat. Su Wei isn’t here anymore. Maybe you can be taught a lesson.’

Xiao Yi led the other children to the empty space where the competition was supposed to be held in the east of the village. The space was huge. Almost as big as three football fields combined. If the families had to run around to tear the name tags, they would get a good amount of exercise today.

Xiao Yi was very confident. He had been good at sports from a very young age.

…

At 9:30 am, the broadcast system informed the families to gather.

It took Xu Xiaoxiao a lot of effort to wake Tutu up.

The little boy opened his eyes and saw Xu Xiaoxiao. He threw a pillow at her and cried, “I want daddy. I want daddy!”

Xu Xiaoxiao had already confirmed that there was no camera in the bedroom. She lowered her voice. “Your dad is not here anymore. He won’t be here today. If you cry and humiliate me again, I will throw you into the jungle. There are big, fat bugs there.”

“You bad woman! I’m going to call grandma and tell her everything,” shouted Tutu with determination.

“Fine. If you do that, I will take you to the jungle and leave you there alone at night when you are asleep.” Xu Xiaoxiao had tried to be kind and loving but she had only received humiliation in return. She was like an entirely different person today.

She gritted her teeth and looked fierce. “If you want to see your father, don’t even think of calling anyone. It’s up to you to decide if you want to be obedient or want to cause trouble. But if you make trouble for me, I will make trouble for you too.”

Xu Xiaoxiao really wanted to teach this brat a lesson. Tutu stopped crying.

“Put on your clothes and come with me.” Xu Xiaoxiao threw the clothes at him.

Tutu had been pampered so much that he didn’t even know how to wear clothes on his own. He looked at the clothes for a long time.

Xu Xiaoxiao leaned down and helped him dress. She pulled the shirt down roughly.

The little boy was scared. His stepmother had suddenly become evil like the one in Snow White. He didn’t want to make her angry.

Xu Xiaoxiao had finally won.

In the empty space in the east of the village, everyone was on full alert after gathering there. Six cameras pointed at them.

Wheatley’s family, as always, had their attire ready. Nannan had put in a lot of effort for this show. They all wore a parent-child set of outfits which matched each other.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Tutu were like two resentful magnets trying to push each other away. If the director hadn’t asked them to stand closer, the distance between them would have increased to fit a whole football field.

Lin Guoguo sat on her father’s shoulder, while Shen Man stood beside Lin Tong and held his arm. Although they were not wearing matching outfits, they had both chosen dark-colored sportswear.

Xiao Yi stood between Xiao Tianlin and Xia Mo. The three of them were all wearing red hats. They all were similar in their heights, so they looked like siblings instead of parents and children.

Li Zexuan’s family members all had their own sense of dressing style. None of them matched each other at all. The three brothers wore either black, white, or gray. Lin Wan wore a bright red T-shirt with a pair of light-colored jeans, while Li Yanchen wore a black T-shirt with sweatpants. When they walked out of their house, they had already been questioned, especially Lin Wan on how she intended to run around in jeans.

Although the Li family members had different styles, they looked quite comfortable.

The fans looked forward to the competition.

[Other than Tutu and Xu Xiaoxiao, the other families are full of fighting spirit.]

[Sisters, start calling.]

[The Xuanxuan family flies bravely, and the Xuanxuan fans will always follow.]

[A group of heroes fighting for a deer.]

[Nannan is the most beautiful.]

[The all-purpose top student is not human. He is indeed suspected to be a deity.]

[I’m crazy for you, I’m crazy for you. I’m banging my head against a wall for you]

[With six cameras facing them from every direction, there is no blind spot at all.]

[Li Yanchen looks so handsome. I’ll die with no regrets if I can be family with someone like him.]

[I’m starting to get jealous of Lin Wan.]
