96 Just Listening to It Makes Me Feel Like an Emo

No matter how frustrated she had been, Lin Wan had always been careful in front of the camera. That was the first and most basic rule Lin Wan followed even in her original world.

She adjusted the camera to a suitable angle and started the live broadcast.

[The Sweet Little Circle is finally live streaming. I have only watched it for two days but why do I feel like I have loved it forever?]

[The Qifeng cake made using your method was very delicious.]

!!

[Sweet Little Circle, do you have a physical store?]

“Yes,” replied Xia Mo on her behalf. “There is a physical store but it is not yet convenient to reveal its location.”

[I get it. Do you take commissions?]

[Smart. That’s why she doesn’t show her face.]

[Xiao Huan, go solo. I think you’ll be very popular. ]

[Double income is even better.]

“Nothing like that. We don’t want to reveal the physical store location just yet because we don’t want people to rush here. But if you want to place an order, we deliver throughout the city.” Lin Wan’s livestream was getting popular and people rushing to her shop would boom her business, but she had promised Lin Wan that she wouldn’t take a cent for herself. And she had meant it.

[I’m very low-key, so don’t ask too much. I’ll show my face when I am ready to do it. Let’s start. I’ve prepared all the materials. ]

Lin Wan was making a Fire Ice Cream Cake today. She had made this cake countless times in her original world and it was very popular with the customers.

When Lin Wan was introducing the dessert, she had only mentioned the names of the ingredients. It had already made it to the hot search. Most people in the comments were curious to find out what exactly the dessert was. They wondered if flame and ice cream could really be used together.

Xia Mo was also looking forward to it. It was her first time hearing about it.

In the camera, only the woman’s pink lips were visible. She stood by the table, beating the eggs while explaining the process. The netizens took note of the steps.

[Oh my God, just listening to it makes me feel like an emo. A full 40 steps!]

[This dessert really takes a lot of effort.]

[Who’s like me? My mouth is wide open the entire time. I just find it unbelievable.]

[This cake needs to be quickly frozen and stored. It definitely can’t be distributed throughout the city. I really want to eat it.]

[Is there a dessert shop that makes a copy of it? I can’t do it on my own. I wonder who will be the first to copy this recipe. I would definitely buy it.]

“Did everyone learn the steps? This is the streamer’s own recipe.” Xia Mo looked at the comments and replied.

[Is Xiao Huan a dessert chef from abroad? We have never seen her before.]

“Sweet Little Circle just likes to research new ways and create our own recipes. This is all for today’s livestream. If you have any questions, do DM us. Remember to subscribe and share. We will be signing off now. See you all tomorrow!” Xia Mo turned off the live broadcast.

Lin Wan took off her hat, washed her hands, and sat down. “I’ve been standing for more than two hours. My back is so sore.”

“Lin Wan, where did you learn all this?” Xia Mo asked as she cleaned up the table.

“You just said it yourself. Research. The cake seems to be liked by many. You can make it and sell it. The process is very detailed so you can make it easily.” Lin Wan knew that Xia Mo wasn’t doing the livestream to raise the popularity of her own shop. But she hoped Xia Mo would make these cakes and sell them through her shop anyway.

Xia Mo was surprised. “Can I really?” she asked happily.

“Of course. Delicious cakes are meant to be shared.” Lin Wan was sincere. In her original world, she just had to search the recipe on the internet and the results would show her so many varieties. It wasn’t really an original recipe of hers, after all.

Xia Mo hugged Lin Wan. “Thank you. I will treat you and Mr. Li to dinner tonight. I will call Tianlin and ask him to come back early today.”

“No, no. That’s alright. I still have some things I need to do today. Let’s do that next time.” Lin Wan packed her bag.

Li Yanchen arrived at The Sweetheart Inn right on time. He parked the car and walked into the shop.

The staff arranged for him to rest in the waiting area and then knocked on the door of the live broadcast room.

When they were informed of Li Yanchen’s arrival, Xia Mo and Lin Wan walked out of the live broadcast room together.

“You really came to pick her up? No wonder Wanwan wouldn’t let me treat you guys to a meal. She wants to spend some alone time with you,” Xia Mo teased.

“Shouldn’t I be the one treating you? I’ll arrange it in two days,” said Li Yanchen. “Today, we have something to do. We should get going. Wanwan?”

“Alright. I won’t hold you up. See you tomorrow.” Xia Mo winked at Lin Wan.

In the car, Lin Wan sat in the back and closed her eyes to rest.

“Home or dinner?” asked Li Yanchen.

“Let’s go home.” Lin Wan’s heart was still heavy.

The car drove slowly towards Royal Water Bay Villas. On the way, Li Yanchen looked at her in the rearview mirror from time to time. Lin Wan looked exhausted. She even smelled of butter. ‘Is she really helping out Xia Mo at the shop?’

Li Yanchen was in a dilemma. In the past, seeing Lin Wan always isolated at home, he wished that she would go out more. Now that she was really going out more, his heart ached to see her so tired. “Wanwan, if you feel so tired. You can choose not to go tomorrow.”

“No, no. I am alright. When are the kids coming home?” Lin Wan was surprised at herself. She wondered if she was a masochist. It had been a few peaceful days without her stepsons’ shenanigans, and she was already asking for them. ‘Why do I suddenly care?’

Li Yanchen was also shocked. “Uh… still a few days left till the holidays start. Xuanxuan and Xinxin will arrive early. Do you… miss them?”

“No, I don’t. I was just asking.” Lin Wan lied but it made Li Yanchen secretly happy that she missed them.

…

In Yun Xi Primary School, Li Zekai had already packed his luggage. His bedding was also neatly folded. He was just waiting for Assistant Qin to pick him up on the weekend.

He checked his bag of candies, making sure they had not melted.

At Mumu Time Café, Luo Xi decided to stay back for the month of June at Yun City. After bidding farewell to Lin Wan, he and Yang Youyou both promised never to tell anyone that they had already met Lin Wan.

Luo Xi thought that he would be the first to apologize to Lin Wan at the reunion. It didn’t matter how that would damage his image.

Yang Youyou also mustered her courage and added Lin Wan on WeChat. She had sent a few photos of the two of them in an encrypted photo album. Lin Wan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart when she saw them.

After a week of live streaming, the number of fans in Sweet Little had exceeded 500,000 viewers. Almost every joke segment would become a hot topic. As soon as Lin Wan went online, the bullet screen would be filled with praises. Lin Wan could only be free of distractions when she was streaming.

When the Director of the Planning Department of Lan Shan Shui company called Li Yanchen, he was on a business trip. Considering the children’s studies, Li Yanchen set the filming for July.

On the weekend, Lin Wan went to The Sweetheart Inn as usual to do her live broadcast. A car arrived at the Royal Water Bay Villa. Assistant Qin got out and opened the car door. Li Zekai hopped out of the car and ran into his house.

He saw Auntie Huang and hopped into her arms with a happy cry of, “Grandma Huang!”

He then ran upstairs to the second floor to look for Lin Wan. However, when he reached her bedroom door, he saw that it was empty. The smile on his face disappeared. He had thought that he would see her at home but she wasn’t there.
