Xiao Yi was so engrossed in the game that he didn’t even notice Li Zexuan standing behind him.
Li Zexuan remained standing for a few minutes until he was tired of waiting. He dragged a stool and sat down beside Xiao Yi.
Ning Xiaoxiao had just reached home when she heard Wheatley’s voice in the front yard.
“Hello, Uncle. Hello, Auntie. Is Sister Xiaoxiao around?” asked Wheatley.
Ning Jingyuan and Zhou Pei were in the front yard. They smiled at Wheatley. “Yes. Ning Xiaoxiao is inside. You can go in and meet her,” said Zhou Pei.
Ning Xiaoxiao was reading her script in the living room.
“Sister Xiaoxiao, hello,” said Wheatley as she walked in. She had brought along some candied fruits.
“Wheatley, hi!” Ning Xiaoxiao offered a seat to her.
Even though Wheatley wasn’t as famous as her, Ning Xiaoxiao still expressed her admiration. “I have seen your concerts. You are super good!”
Wheatley was ecstatic that a celebrity like Ning Xiaoxiao had watched her concert. ‘You are so great! I wonder if I can ever get to star in a children’s drama like you, Sister Xiaoxiao! I like you so much. My whole family is your fan! We always watch you on “Mengmeng’s Records” during summer break.”
Wheatley offered her the candied fruits. “Auntie Nannan made these herself.
There is no sugar or any preservatives. Try it. Auntie Nannan is also your fan. She says that the models she hires for her children’s clothing store can’t compare to you at all.”
Ning Xiaoxiao wasn’t new to compliments directed her way. So, she wasn’t really surprised. She politely accepted a piece of candied fruit. “This is delicious. Thank you!”
“Sister Xiaoxiao, I never thought I would get to be in a show with you. I am so happy!”
Wheatley gazed at Ning Xiaoxiao with admiration. She found her to be very beautiful and successful. She was everything Wheatley wanted to be.
“We are all ordinary at the end of the day,” said Ning Xiaoxiao. “Believe me when I say that you might even turn out to be more popular than me in the future. You are still so young. Just wait and see.”
Wheatley was a little shy. “Sister, you are just saying that. Have you ever worked with Brother Li Zexuan? He is a celebrity too!”
“Uh… no. Not yet anyway. But my manager always talks about him. Maybe in the future, we will have a chance to work together.”
Wheatley sat beside Ning Xiaoxiao. “Do you want to meet him? Maybe you can livestream together!” Wheatley didn’t know that Ning Xiaoxiao had already met Li Zexuan in the backyard of his house.
“Can I?” asked Ning Xiaoxiao.
“Of course! Are you embarrassed to look for Brother Xuanxuan? I visit his house often to play with Li Zekai. Don’t mind his cold exterior. He is alright. I am also friends with Li Zexin.” Wheatley had been a regular guest on the show from the first episode. She knew a lot about the other guests.
“Li Zexuan seems to be quite difficult to get along with,” said Ning Xiaoxiao.
“I can take you along to meet him. You just need to get to know him for a while.
We can livestream together!”
‘Should I tell her that Li Zexuan went to Xiao Yi’s house?’ wondered Ning Xiaoxiao. ‘But if I do, she will know I went to visit him!’
Ning Xiaoxiao hesitated. She decided not to say anything. Wheatley took her along to the Li family’s front yard.
[Is that Xiaoxiao? Is she here for Li Zexuan?]
“Hello, Uncle Li and Auntie Lin.” Ning Xiaoxiao greeted them with a smile.
“Auntie Lin, is Brother Xuanxuan home?” asked Wheatley.
Lin Wan forced herself to smile. She had to maintain basic courtesy in front of the camera. “He might be in the backyard with Jiejie.”
[Xiaoxiao, are you here for Xuanxuan?]
[Xuanxuan is at Xiao Yi’s place. Go there directly. We also want to see two celebrities together!]
[Lin Wan, Xuanxuan isn’t in the backyard. He is at Xiao Yi’s house watching him play games on his laptop.]
Lin Wan saw the comments. “Oh… it seems Xuanxuan went to Xiao Yi’s house.”
Ning Xiaoxiao and Wheatley stopped in their tracks. “Oh okay. Let’s go to
Brother Xiao Yi’s house,” said Wheatley. “Thank you, Auntie Lin!”
Li Zexuan was already feeling the pain of his cramped legs from sitting on the stool too long. He really admired people who played esports and could sit for hours on end.
He stood up and stretched.
Xiao Tianlin went to the kitchen to cook lunch.
Xia MO saw that her son was so focused on his games that he completely ignored Li Zexuan. She walked over to him. “Son, after his round, spend some time with Xuanxuan, alright?”
Xiao Yi was wearing his earphones so he couldn’t hear his mother at all.
When Ning Xiaoxiao and Wheatley appeared on Xiao Yi’s livestream channel, the fans almost went crazy.
[Xiaoxiao is here! Two top celebrities and an esports expert! I really want to know what they have in common.]
[This will garner so much popularity. The Festival Group must be euphoric.]
[Xiaoxiao looks good with Xuanxuan.]
The two girls greeted Xia Mo.
Xia MO dragged a bench over. “Here. Sit down.”
Now there were three people near Xiao Yi. Ning Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded by the speed at which Xiao Yi used his hands. She had watched esports drama before, but all that couldn’t even compare with Xiao Yi and how he played his game.
Li Zexuan was tired from sitting so long that he decided to stand and wait for Xiao Yi to be done. When it was almost eleven in the afternoon, Xiao Yi finished a round and took off his earphones.
Xiao Yi was surprised to see three people near him.
“Wow… so that is what they mean when they call you the Wind God!” said Ning Xiaoxiao. “I have never seen someone use their hands so quickly. I feel like I didn’t get to see enough. You let some people go.”
[Xiaoxiao is exaggerating. She is so good at talking to people.]
[Xiaoxiao doesn’t look down on others, even if she is a top celebrity. She sees the talent in everybody.]
[Today, Xiao Yi’s house is so lively!]
[Right now, Xiao Yi’s livestream room is the most popular.]
[That is to be expected. Two celebrities are here.]
“Were you all waiting for me for a long time?” Xiao Yi turned off his laptop. “I am so sorry.”
“That’s alright. We just got here. Can I ask you to mentor me in the future if I
ever film an esports drama?”
“Sure. If I am free, I can help you,” said Xiao Yi without hesitation.
“The four of you can talk inside. I will stay in the livestream to give you guys a break,” said Xia Mo. She was happy to see Xiao Yi getting along with other children.
[Let them talk in front of the camera. I want to hear what they talk about.]
[How can you make them leave?]
[Has someone taken a screenshot? It’s rare to have two celebrities and an esport expert in the same frame.]
[The Festival Group definitely overspent their budget in this episode. I am sure getting Xiaoxiao on the show must have been really expensive.]
[Xiaoxiao is so down to earth. She is willing to interact with anyone!]
[The Wind God isn’t simple, either. Has he ever agreed to guide anyone before this?]
“Let’s go in,” said Xiao Yi. “I have some good news I want to share with you.” He didn’t want to talk in front of the camera, either. So, he led them all into his house.
[What’s this good news? Tell us too!]
[I beg you. Stay here!]
[You don’t even need to tell us. Just stay! For us, seeing your faces is enough..]
