Chapter 203 - 203 He’s The Best

203 He’s The Best

Li Zexuan felt like he had been reduced to a pawn in his father’s games. His father was quite good at shifting the blame to him. He even said that his comprehension ability was bad.

“But I—” Li Zexuan tried to clarify.

“Hurry up! Two hours a day from today,” Li Yanchen urged.

Li Zexuan rolled his eyes at his father as he walked to the backyard.

In Feifei’s broadcast room, Tao Jinguan had downloaded an image recognition software that identified types of grass and weeds. She then explained it to Feifei.

“Mom, don’t they look different?” Feifei looked at the grass on the table.

After teaching him for a while, Tao Jingyuan realized that her son couldn’t differentiate between different types of grass. “Feifei, you just need to know that these are all grass. If you can’t remember, I can stick it on the bag for you to compare.”

“Okay, mom. Can I play with Jiejie?” Feifei was impatient.

“Okay. I will call you when it’s time to gather.” Tao Jingyuan touched her son’s forehead.

Feifei went to Li family’s house with toys to play in the sand. When he passed by Luo Xi’s house, Jian Jia saw him. “Feifei, where are you going?” he asked.

“Hi! Hello Brother Luo Xi,” Feifei greeted them.

“I am going to Jiejie’s house to play in the sand pit. It’s fun! You should come, too.” Feifei held up his toy beach set.

“Daddy, can I go play with Feifei and Jiejie?” asked Jian Jia.

“Sure. But be careful.” Luo Xi touched Jian Jia’s face.

“Thank you, dad. I am leaving, then.” Jian Jia jumped down from the stool, ran outside the courtyard gate and skipped over to Li Zekai’s house with Feifei.

[Jian Jia went with Feifei to Jiejie’s house.]

[Is this the first interaction between Jian Jia and Jiejie?]

[As expected, everyone loves Jiejie.]

[The children are all very warm and kind. Who wouldn’t like them?]

[Jian Jia’s voice is so innocent. He is also so obedient.]

[Did you guys hear Feifei call Luo Xi “brother”? It’s the first time Feifei called someone’s parents “brother”. I notice he calls everyone Uncle or Auntie. Feifei knows Luo Xi is young.]

[Brother is very young. It’s not appropriate to call him Uncle.]

Luo Xi finished making his coffee and looked at the bullet screen. “Thank you, everyone, for liking our family.”

[Brother, I really want to drink the coffee that you made.]

[Brother, Jian Jia went to Jiejie’s house. Do you want to go check in on him?]

“There’s no need. Our houses are not very far, after all. I can just call him when we go and gather for the mission later,” said Luo Xi. “Jian Jia is very independent. He likes his space.”

[Brother dotes on Jian Jia so much. Every word you say is related to Jian Jia. In brother’s eyes, Jian Jia is the best!]

[I noticed that too. Luo Xi really loves Jian Jia.]

[Brother, I hope you can take Jian Jia home soon.]

[Brother, Jian Jia reached Jiejie’s house. Don’t worry.]

In the Li family’s backyard, Li Zekai was busy playing in the sand pit. Although it was his favorite thing to do, playing alone in the sand pit by himself was boring. Li Zexin used to accompany him occasionally.

He had asked Li Zexuan to come with him, but his older brother had refused. Li Zekai was just about to finish building the sand wall and leave but he saw his friend approaching unexpectedly.

Feifei walked to the sand pit holding Jian Jia’s hands. They passed by the courtyard of the Li family’s house. When they saw Li Yanchen, they greeted him. It was Jian Jia’s first time visiting the Li family house, so he was a little shy.

“Uncle,” he asked. “Can I play with Jiejie for a while?”

“Yes, of course,” said Li Yanchen.

[Mr. Li looks so serious. Is it because he is jealous of Luo Xi?]

[Don’t talk nonsense. Mr. Li is always like that. He rarely smiles. He isn’t being biased.]

[That’s right. What nonsense are you blabbering?]

[Don’t spread rumors. Mr. Li is quite good. He just doesn’t have too many emotions, but he’s not targeting Jian Jia.]

“Thank you, Uncle.” Jian Jia and Feifei continued to the backyard.

“Jiejie!” when Feifei saw Li Zekai, he ran to him.

Jian Jia had never played with Jiejie before, so he didn’t rush. He walked slowly. “Brother Jiejie, can I play with you too? I drew your picture, but I forgot to bring it. I will go get it when we have to gather for the weeding competition.”

“You can always play with Feifei and me!” Li Zekai smiled warmly.

“Brother Jiejie, you are so nice. I was afraid you might not want to play with me.”

“Of course, Jiejie will play with you. He is very kind. He will be your friend too,” said Feifei happily.

Li Zekai had them sit on his left and right side and they built the wall together.

In the Sweet Little Circle live stream, Lin Wan named the dessert Mr. Soft-hearted. She specifically chose the name for Li Yanchen.

When the live stream started, Lin Wan did not heat up the oven immediately. Instead, she explained the origins of Mr. Soft-hearted dessert.

“This dessert has cheese in the middle and crispy bread slices on the outside. The bread slices are wrapped with a layer of milk powder. You may feel it breaks a little when you take the first bite, but when you take the second bite, you will taste the soft and gooey inside. There’s also caramel separating the crispy bread and cheese.”

Lin Wan raised her eyebrows. “It’s like my husband. I know you all felt that he was so cold and unapproachable at first. But once you get to know him, he is actually very soft-hearted.”

Xia Mo had not guessed the origins of the dessert’s name. After listening to Lin Wan explain, Xia Mo decided to save a piece of the cake for Xiao Tianlin.

She felt that Xiao Tianlin was the same. At first glance, he looked like he was indifferent to romance and sometimes didn’t know what to say to her. But he always expressed his love in actions.

[Is Lin Wan confessing her feelings for Mr. Li in the live stream?]

[This is the first time I heard Lin Wan talking about Mr. Li so openly.

[I like their relationship. I don’t say it out loud, but they always seem so full of love for each other.]

[I also feel that Lin Wan knows Mr. Li has been feeling insecure so she deliberately mentioned him to give him a boost of confidence.]

[She wants him to know that she only has eyes for him.]

[I want to learn to do that too. My husband isn’t very romantic, but he is always so good to me.]

After Lin Wan introduced the origin of Mr. Soft-hearted dessert’s name, she worked together with Xia Mo to make the cake. The viewers switched to the Li family’s broadcast room to leave comments there.

[Mr. Li, did you see the Sweet Little Circle live stream? Lin Wan is baking a cake and she named it after you.]

Mr. Li, look at the comments! Lin Wan has praised you.]

Li Yanchen’s another phone was still logged in to the Sweet Little Circle live stream. Even though he had not turned the volume up, he knew Lin Wan was talking about him when he read the comments. His lips curled up into a warm smile.

“I saw it.” Li Yanchen only intended to peek at the live stream in the beginning. But seeing the comments from the viewers, he decided to watch it.

He turned the volume up. Lin Wan had already started with the first step of the process.
