The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them

208 Are You an Octopus?

“Whoever has done the most weeding will win. If you can’t complete all the weeding, then the one left with the least grass in the area will be the winner.”

The match had entered the countdown.

Xiao Tianlin and Zheng Kuo were so tired that they couldn’t even raise their arms. However, in order to set an example and not embarrass the children, they still persisted until the end.

With his extraordinary physical strength, Michael weeded the grass. He had even dug ten centimeters below the roots. However, he still had the most grass left except when compared to Xiao Tianlin.

!!

Luo Xi and Li Yanchen had both finished at the same time, so they could ot see who had cleared the field first.

As for the women, Xia Mo had won. When Lin Wan looked at Li Yanchen and realized both him and Luo Xi were at the same speed, she couldn’t decide what to do. She had grabbed a handful of grass and dawdled for a long time.

Nannan was physically weak and had already given up on the task before she even reached halfway.

In the children’s area, the five children sat down in the field and started singing a children’s song after they were halfway done weeding.

The director announced the result of the match:

“1st place in the father’s category goes to Li Yanchen. First place in the mother’s category goes to Xia Mo.”

“See?” Xiao Tianlin said happily, “Although I didn’t win, my wife did! If she gets the endorsement, then I will get it too.”

Lin Wan was confused. ‘Didn’t Xiao Tianlin know that the winners in the mother and father category were different?’

It meant that Xia Mowould be endorsing the product with Li Yanchen.

“Brother Xiao, Sister Xia got the endorsement, but that doesn’t mean you got the endorsement too. The winner from the father’s category is Mr. Li. Which means, Sister Xia and Mr. Li will be the ones endorsing Aihua Sportswear,” explained Michael.

Xiao Tianlin’s face was lit up with a smile. “I know. Brother Li is practically family. So, I am not worried about them endorsing the product together. Besides, Xia’s win is still a win for me in my heart.”

Li Yanchen was speechless.

[Xiao Tianlin is silly and sweet? He clearly is a father to a top student like Xiao Yi.]

[Why do you say that? He is a good person and knows how to be happy for his wife. Teacher Xia and Mr. Li are good friends anyway.]

[Everyone in the Xiao family is very simple and direct. Don’t misinterpret it.]

[That’s right. So, what if he sincerely wishes the other winning father the best?]

“The winners are Li Yanchen and Xia Mo. They will be endorsing the products together. The other guests also performed very well. The children, especially, worked very hard. They all insisted on staying within the competition area.”

“Let’s give a round of applause to the winning parents. Everyone is free to do whatever they want and will end the broadcast at seven at night.”

“Daddy, you won!” Li Zekai hugged Li Yanchen.

“Mr. Li, I didn’t expect you to have such skill.” Li Zexuan looked at his father with admiration. “I thought you only knew how to do business. You can actually do such a good job of weeding, too.”

Li Yanchen straightened his back and raised his chin, pretending to be nonchalant. “What’s so difficult about that? It’s just a competition to see who has more strength and stamina.”

[Mr. Li’s words are annoying, but I like how confident he is.]

[The knot in Li Yanchen’s heart about being older than Lin Wan will never be untied no matter what. He’s only focused on proving that he’s young and energetic.]

[Everyone, don’t expose him. This is Mr. Li’s last stubbornness.]

[Mr. Li’s conclusion is so incorrect. Michael is a fitness coach. Just because he didn’t win, does it mean that he isn’t strong?]

[Hahaha. I like Mr. Li’s smug expression.]

[Mr. Li really loves Sister Wan so much. He was so desperate even when pulling grass.]

[Sob, sob. Brother Luo Xi lost.]

[Brother is still young. He will have plenty of opportunities. Besides, Xia Mo won in the mother’s category. Brother Luo Xi and Xia Mo wouldn’t match. Mr. Li and Xia Mo would look more suitable endorsing the product.]

[Who is this? How has Xia Mo offended you?]

All the fans started to argue with each other.

[They’ve already left. Stop arguing. Let’s go back to the house.]

[Luo Xi’s group of brainless fans.]

[It’s fine to support your own idol, but why step on others?]

[That’s right. The Xiao family has always stood away from the world, and Ms. Xia is a super nice person. Ms. Xia is an internet celebrity. Just looks don’t make a person anyway. There is no need to insult her based on her age and her looks. In our hearts, Xia Mo will always be the most beautiful.]

[Your brother is not worthy of anyone, okay? He’s beautiful alone.]

Xia Mo’s and Lin Wan’s fans united and fought against Luo Xi’s fans. In the end, Luo Xi’s live broadcast room lost the war of words.

On the way back, Xia Mo held Lin Wan’s hand. “Will you take the endorsement, please?”

Lin Wan shook her head. “No. I told Mr. Li as well. None of you are allowed to give in. You both look good together.”

“But Wanwan…” Xia Mo was hesitant.

“Xiaxia, this is your chance! Besides, this is something fresh. I am sure the viewers are already fed up of seeing me and Li Yanchen together every time. You two can do it!” Lin Wan sincerely congratulated her friend.

“Okay. Wanwan, you’re the best!” Xia Mo leaned on Lin Wan’s shoulder.

Li Yanchen and Xiao Tianlin also talked among themselves. “Brother Li, are you an octopus? When you were weeding, your hands moved so fast. I got dizzy looking at you. Do you want to learn to play games from my son? With your speed, I can guarantee you will be the King of gaming in a month.”

Li Yanchen didn’t know what to say.

“Brother Li, I am happy you were selected to work with Xia Mo. Our families will get closer.” Xiao Tianlin was genuinely happy. He wrapped his arm around Li Yanchen’s shoulder.

Li Yanchen felt extremely uncomfortable. Every time he tried to push Xiao Tianlin’s hands away, he would grab on even tighter than before. After a while, Li Yanchen gave up on struggling to break free.

Not far away, Michael followed Luo Xi and Zheng Kuo.

“Luo Xi, Teacher Zheng, let’s walk together.”

“Hello, Wheatley’s father, you did very well today. And Luo Xi, you almost won!”

“Teacher Zheng, you were also very good, but your shovel is too dull.”

...

The three people, who lost the game, praised each other.

Tao Jingyuan held Feifei’s hand and walked to Zheng Kuo’s side. ” Hubby, what are we having for dinner? I’ll go home and make it.”

“Anything is fine. By the way, make some extra portions. I’m afraid that Jiejie and the others won’t have enough again, so we will ask them to come to our house tonight.”

“Aright. I will invite Lin Wan,” said Tao Jingyuan.

“Teacher zheng, can we freeload a meal too?” asked Michael jokingly.

“Sure. Everyone, come to my house for dinner tonight.” Zheng Kuo shouted.

“Jiejie! Jian Jia! My father wants you all to come to my house for dinner today,” said Feifei when he heard his father’s words.

“I’ll have to ask my father,” Li Zekai said hesitantly.

“No need to ask,” said Li Zexuan. “Mr. Li told me to tell you that we are going to Feifei’s house for dinner tonight. Auntie Tao invited us.”

“Yay! Jiejie, let’s play clay together!” Feifei jumped for joy.

“Jian Jia, your dad and my dad are walking together. They must have agreed on it. Let’s go to my house directly,” said Feifei, holding ZJian Jia’s hands.

...

“Okay, but I need to go home first to get my paintings. I’ll give them to you guys later.”

“Sister Wheatley, your father is also in the front. Let’s go together,” said Jian Jia as he glanced at Wheatley, who was walking alone.

“Alright!” said Wheatley happily. She had just been wondering why no one invited her and thought maybe it was because she was the only girl in the children’s group. She was happy that Jian Jia took the initiative to ask her to accompany him.
