Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the afternoon in Lan Village, the temperature dropped to around four or five degrees Celsius, but because of the sun and lack of wind, it didn’t feel too cold.
Bai Xue stood between the two women. They talked as they walked.
As a regular guest of the show, Xia MO showed her around Lan Village.
“Bai Xue, have you ever lived in the countryside?” Xia MO asked. “Of course! I grew up in a village, but I moved to the city at a young age.” The three of them found a place to sit and talked about random things.
In Bai Xue’s live stream room, only Qi Ming was visible.
[Teacher Qi, when will you come to Xiangbei for a concert? My best friend and I made plans. If you can come to Xiangbei, we’ll come to your concert.]
[Same question… When will you go on a nationwide tour? A true star should hold concerts!]
[We still owe you a concert ticket. When will you give us the chance to pay it back, Teacher Qi?]
Qi Ming had released an album quite fast. He was considered a senior figure in the entertainment industry. He had numerous fans, yet he had never held a concert, and not many people had seen him in person.
Qi Ming smiled. “That day will come, I believe.”
At Wheatley’s house, Qi Yue and Wheatley were playing a game in front of the camera.
[I think this is called Pushing Music.]
[The toys only cost 9-90 yuan. I have one too!]
“Wheatley, you’re really good at this. I usually just match colors when playing. I don’t think so much about it. You have tactics for every move.” Qi Yue had brought the game here to kill time, but Wheatley was surprisingly engrossed in it.
“It’s not really a tactic. I just push the row with the most tiles of the same color,” said Wheatley modestly.
Michael sat on the side watching the game. He was surprised to see his daughter playing the game with such serious strategy.
At the Li family’s house, the camera showed an empty room. Li Zekai, Tutu, and Feifei were playing Ultraman in the study. The three of them were engaged in role-playing, with Tutu acting as the monster. Occasional roars could be heard in the livestream.
[Who’s imitating a monster?]
[I heard it too. I thought I misheard, but it must be Jiejie and the others playing
Ultraman and fighting monsters.]
[Come to the yard to play!]
[Does “free activity” mean being off-camera? They’re not showing us anything.
It’s so dull.]
[@Program Team, this is the last episode. Why isn’t everyone showing their faces? Can you set a rule that the guests have to be in front of the camera for at least a few hours? Everyone’s just doing their own thing. It might as well not be considered a livestream.]
[Agreed.]
The private messages started flooding into the program team’s inbox.
It wasn’t just the audience. Even the staff members were starting to have some opinions about the guests. Wasn’t this just slacking off at work?
An announcement blared from the loudspeaker. “Attention, everyone. Considering this is the final episode, the audience wants to see more of all of you. Please try to be active in the livestream rooms. It’s okay even if it’s not in your own livestream room. You can livestream together with other families, but no one should be completely off-camera.”
Everyone returned to their livestream rooms after the announcement.
“Even if we talk, it seems we have to do it in front of the camera.” Xia MO shrugged.
“The production team pays us to perform. They don’t pay us for a vacation,” Lin Wan said.
“How about coming to my house?” Bai Xue asked. “Taste some of my family’s delicious snacks. They won’t make you gain weight.’ “Really?” Xia MO was flattered by the invitation.
“Yes, I’ve been eating them all the time.”
When Bai Xue and Lin Wan appeared in the livestream room together, the comments were in an uproar.
[Is Teacher Bai Xue going to be with Lin Wan all the time?]
[Seems like it. My two favorite guests, Bai Xue and Lin Wan… Are they going to livestream together? This is great!]
[My top three favorite guests have arrived.]
Bai Xue brought out some sugar-free buckwheat slices. “If you feel like munching on something, you can try these. Paired with digestive tea, even people prone to gaining weight won’t have to worry.”
These buckwheat slices were Bai Xue’s go-to snack whenever she went out. Due to her irregular schedule, she always carried these to have a quick bite when she got hungry.
Bai Xue had changed the packaging to a plain bag because she didn’t want it to seem like she was promoting her family’s food.
[What’s this? Did Teacher Bai intentionally change the packaging?]
[Definitely, unless it’s a collaboration with a brand, stars won’t show the labels of the product to their fans.] [Looks like buckwheat slices. What brand is it?]
[They look so delicious!]
[The taste varies from person to person. I’m not used to them, nor do I like buckwheat noodles, but my mom and grandma love them.] [Are they really not fattening? I want to try them too.]
[If it is recommended by Teacher Bai, it must be good.]
“Very crunchy… gets even tastier as you chew,” Xia MO said after finishing one.
“It tastes completely different from what I’ve had before. What brand is this?” Lin Wan asked.
[Lin Wan asked for us. I’m waiting for Teacher Bails response.]
[Tell us, Teacher Bai!]
“This is from my family,” Bai Xue said. She kept her answer brief.
“Does the Qi family also sell snacks?” When Lin Wan learned about Bai Xue’s family background that morning and found out about Qi Family Food, she saw products like self-heating meals on their website. She hadn’t expected that there would be snacks as well.
“Yes.” Bai Xue nodded. She grabbed two packs from the shelf and handed them to the others. “These are for you.”
[I searched for “Qi Family Buckwheat Slices.” I found the exact same ones. Bai Xue probably changed the packaging to avoid any suspicion of promoting her own products using the show’s audience.]
[Order placed!]
“It’s a bit much for us to eat here and take some at the same time.” Xia MO hesitated.
“I brought plenty. Please, take them. I’m thinking of giving them to a couple of other moms later.”
Xia MO took the buckwheat slices. “Thank you.”
[It’s out of stock! It hasn’t even been that long. Oh my, you can imagine how much traffic Teacher Bai Xue brought with her.] She just casually offered them to her guest. and now. it’s sold out! It is no
wonder she said her family’s products don’t need her to promote them. The factory can’t keep up with the demand once she mentions them.]
“Don’t blindly place orders, everyone. Choose what you genuinely like,” Bai Xue said to the barrage of comments.
[Teacher Bai, we’re not blindly placing orders. We genuinely need this snack.]
[Exactly! Who doesn’t like to satisfy their cravings for snacks and not gain weight at the same time?]
[Teacher Bai Xue, do you have any other good things to recommend to us?] “This isn’t really a recommendation for you all. It’s just something I eat.” [Then what other snacks do you usually eat?]
“I can teach everyone how to choose low-calorie snacks, but honestly, I don’t know which brands are good.”
[Alright, I’ll go to the Qi Family Food store and take a look myself.]
[Everyone, just keep an eye on Teacher Bails livestream room, and you’ll know what she eats every day.]
“Would you like to bake a cake with us?” Xia MO asked.
Lin Wan glanced at the time. It was already three o’clock. “Let’s go..”
