Chapter 479: Learning as the Main Focus
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Meijun saw her grandson gobbling down cake and immediately dialed her son’s number.
Su Wei went to the backyard to answer the call.
“Xiaowei, Tutu has gained a bit of weight, but he’s growing taller. Did you not feed him enough? Let me tell you, don’t start with the ‘adding weight’ talk. What’s wrong with being a little chubby?” Huo Meijun scolded her son as soon as she got on the call.
“Mom, the lunch was arranged by the program team. I don’t control how much
Tutu could eat. In the afternoon, we were on a task. He was just playing with
Jiejie. It’s normal for them to be hungry. Don’t worry so much.”
“No control? Did you think I wouldn’t notice that you put the two packs of snacks I prepared back in the storage room? If I hadn’t gone looking for the ladder this morning, I wouldn’t have known. I bought healthy snacks.”
“There are healthy snacks? Mom, Tutu won’t go hungry after eating three meals a day. It’s almost dinner time.” Su Wei had just discussed with Tutu that they needed to lose weight for this show. But before they even started, his mother was already interfering.
“You didn’t see it. The little one picked up the cake and stuffed it in his mouth. Chocolate was all over his hands and face.” The more Huo Meijun spoke, the more distressed she sounded.
“Tutu always eats like that. Don’t worry, Mom. I’m hanging up now. Yanchen and I are livestreaming. Fans are asking me if there’s a future for media outlets.” Su Wei ended the call.
He returned to the livestream.
[Mr. Li, will your focus still be on Chenxin in the future? Will you consider participating in more variety shows?]
[President Su, now that you’re back, could you repeat your answer? Can college students become media influencers?]
Su Wei borrowed paper and a pen from Li Yanchen and wrote while analyzing the prospects of the media.
[Thank you, President Su. That was very detailed.]
[President Su, earlier we asked Mr. Li if he would continue with livestreaming in the future. We’d like to ask you the same question. I really like to see Tutu.]
“Probably not. Tutu is still young. Learning is the main focus at this stage. I haven’t thought about making him a public figure,” Su Wei said.
“Us too. Xinxin is in his last year of junior high, and Xuanxuan is in his second year. Even though Jiejie is in elementary school, a solid foundation is still important.” Li Yanchen shared the same viewpoint as Su Wei.
[Alright. Will Mr. Li and Ms. Lin participate in romance-themed variety shows?
Without the children, of course.]
[This variety show has quite a lot of traffic. I think there will be other variety show directors who will invite you.]
Li Yanchen hadn’t received any invitations like that, but if there were romance-themed shows, he wouldn’t participate.
He had discussed it with Lin Wan and hoped to focus more on ecology in the future, as Lin Wan suggested. They wanted to go to the countryside to farm. “Probably not. Wanwan and I have other plans. We have our own aspirations.”
[What a pity. Both of you have such strong variety show appeal, and you always bring your own topics. It’s a loss if you don’t continue.]
[Mr. Li, are you considering retiring?]
[Huh? Traveling the world with Miss Wan?]
“That won’t happen. We hope to do something meaningful in the future.” Li Yanchen didn’t state it explicitly.
[At first, we only knew about Xuanxuan. But Xuanxuan brought his family, and we witnessed everyone’s transformations. Having come this far is enough.
Sister Wan said she doesn’t belong to this industry. Bless them.]
[Actually, if they keep doing variety shows, we might not find it so special.] [Right. Mr. Li, I will always remember you.]
[President Su, we’ve also seen the changes in you and Tutu. Tutu is a good kid.
Wishing happiness for your family.]
“It’s only been a day of livestreaming, and everyone’s talking about sentimental topics. Be happy, and think about what to eat tonight, and what to do tomorrow. It’s the weekend tomorrow.” Su Wei raised his voice to hide his sadness.
[Alright, what are you planning to do tonight?]
“Mr. Li, how about we catch some fish? Let’s have a meal at your place tonight. I can make my signature dish: tofu and fish” Su Wei said.
“Sure. I’ll pick some vegetables.”
“We’ll be leaving for a moment. See you all.” The two said together in front of the camera.
Off-camera, Su Wei and Li Yanchen opened up to each other.
“Every time I cook, I feel like I still need a woman around.”
Li Yanchen chuckled. “Do you think only women can cook? Look at my wife.”
“Lin Wan is an exception. What I mean is that a household feels complete with a woman. Brother Li, I envy you.” Both were divorced and remarried, but Su Wei couldn’t find a reliable partner, while Li Yanchen’s current wife and him were as close as could be.
“Is a woman that hard to find?”
“You don’t understand. I have trauma. I feel like everyone has ulterior motives after what happened last time.” Su Wei had been betrayed by Xu Xiaoxiao.
“Why not let Wanwan introduce someone to you? She knows a lot of women.
Some single, some widowed.”
“Maybe Wanwan’s recommendations would be reliable,” said Su Wei.
Li Yanchen chuckled. “I was just joking. Your family is affluent. Listen to your mother and go on a date with someone she chooses.”
“Are you kidding me? The women my mom introduced me to are all daughters of her friends or relatives. I know them fairly well, but none of them are good-looking,” said Su Wei.
“Among the wives that Wanwan knows, not all of them are beautiful. Besides, can beauty fill your stomach? Women can be smart and virtuous. That’s the best kind of beauty. You’re choosing a wife, not models for a beauty pageant,” said Li Yanchen.
Su Wei lowered his gaze, “Fine. Forget I said anything.”
At Feifei’s house, Tao Jingyuan and Zheng Kuo were preparing a simple rice bowl.
The vegetables were picked from the backyard, and the sliced meat was brought from home.
“Honey, should we call Feifei back?” Zheng Kuo asked while picking vegetables.
“Let’s call him for dinner. It’s the last episode. Let Feifei spend more time with his friends.”
“I never thought he’d be able to Dlav with others so soon. Honev. our son is getting better and better,” Zheng Kuo said sentimentally.
“Yeah, the biggest achievement this time is seeing how Feifei can do many things on his own.” Tao Jingyuan looked up. “Feifei even talks like a little adult. When he went back to school last year, even the teachers praised him. They said he was actually taking care of other kids.”
After finishing his cake, Feifei returned home. As soon as he entered the yard, he overheard his parents talking about him.
“Mom, are you complimenting me?” The little boy leaned against his mother.
“My baby.” Tao Jingyuan pulled her son in front of her and then noticed the chocolate at the corner of his mouth.
She couldn’t help but smile. “How did you become a little chocolate kitten?”
Feifei looked at his face in the mirror. “Oh, so much chocolate! This chocolate cake tasted so good. I can’t let it go to waste.” He stuck out his tongue and licked it.
[Feifei, with that lick, you look even more like a little kitten.]
[After licking, wipe it off with your hands. Your face is all covered in chocolate. ]
Feifei couldn’t read yet, but he looked at the camera and saw that his face was even more smeared.
“Oh! Mom, I need to wash my face.” He got off the stool..
