Join In the Fun
In the few days that she had spent here after transmigrating, Lin Wan felt fortunate that her grandparents were no longer alive. If they had been, they wouldn’t have been able to bear her disappearance from her world. As for her parents, both of them had remarried and had their own families. It wouldn’t matter to them. In fact, they might not even have noticed her absence.
She felt her eyes prick with tears. ‘Why did children have such an experience irrespective of the kind of families they came from?’
“I want a birthday cake too,” said Lin Wan. In her original world, she used to be a famous dessert chef, but she had never eaten a birthday cake that was specially made for her by someone else.
[Did you guys hear what Lin Wan said?]
[She said she wanted a birthday cake too. What’s she doing? She’s joining the fun with the kids.]
Lin Wan realized that she had said something wrong. ‘What if the original owner of her body did not suffer such a miserable fate and it would seem odd for her to say that?’
“I mean, if we ask for the same thing, it might be convenient for sister Xia Mo,” she explained.
“Ha, it’s all the same. You can choose what you like.” For Xia Mo, the most cumbersome thing was to make the cake base. After the base was done, it was simple to embellish it with cream.
“I think I’ll pass.” Lin Wan thought about it and decided not to trouble them. It was already troublesome enough because the Li family had more children to make cakes for than other families.
“Okay, then I’ll make a birthday cake for everyone. We’ll just treat it as a birthday together.” Xia Mo could tell that Lin Wan was being polite. “What about you guys?”
“Then, I’ll have the peach-flavored one.” Lin Guoguo spotted a peach tree in the yard.
“Forget about us. Look at my weight. I’m going to be 120 soon. Right, honey?” Shen Man pinched her husband’s love handles on his waist.
Lin Tong laughed. “This is the standard figure for a chef,” he joked.
The atmosphere became a bit more relaxed.
“Brother Xiao Yi, it must feel so lucky to have a mother who bakes you cake every time! Do you always eat cake?” Li Zekai propped his chin on his hands and stared at Xiao Yi with envy. “If Jiejie had a mother like that, Jiejie would wake up happy every day.”
[The little one’s words are so sad. Although I want to say that most mothers don’t know how to bake, it feels so miserable coming from the little one’s mouth.]
[Little kid is so pitiful. His stepmother doesn’t even know how to cook, let alone bake.]
[Now I miss my mother.]
[The cub is so sad. Can’t Lin Wan make an effort and learn to cook?]
[The commenter above is overestimating Lin Wan. I suspect that not only will she not do anything, but she will also push all the housework to the three children.]
For the next two days, Lin Wan garnered very negative comments.
After dinner, everyone went back to their own houses. The director’s crew had an idea. Since Lin Guoguo’s family was leaving tomorrow, the live broadcast would cut to the bedroom just this once. They wanted to show the audience how the families spent their night together.
Wheatley and Nannan came to an agreement when they saw the show’s plan for that night.
The moon was bright, and the sky was very clear. Nannan had already decided that the whole family would sit together and watch the moon.
At Tutu’s House, the little boy had fallen asleep, probably because he had cried for the whole day. Xu Xiaoxiao and Su Wei were the only ones doing the remaining task. This kind of quiet time was what Xu Xiaoxiao had been looking for. She was glad that the little tyrant had fallen asleep, otherwise he would have come up with new ways to humiliate her in the live broadcast.
Since Tutu was asleep, they could not leave. Hence, like Nannan, they decided to watch the moon sitting on the swing in the courtyard.
At Lin Guoguo’s house, Lin Tong decided to take his family for a stroll through the village since it was their last day. He wanted his child to remember this place. He wanted her to remember that such a place existed just 300 kilometers from the city.
At Xiao Yi’s house, Xia Mo had decided to make the cake for everyone and include her son and her husband in the task. It was the first time she had shown her baking skills in the live broadcast.
At Li Zexuan’s house, Lin Wan was startled when she saw the show’s schedule for tonight. ‘Isn’t it enough for them to chase after them the whole day? Do they have to come inside our bedrooms now?’
She had been trying to find an excuse to ask Li Yanchen to sleep in a different room for tonight.
When Li Zekai found out about the show’s plan for tonight, he tugged at his father’s hand. “Daddy, I told Auntie a story this afternoon and she said she was going to tell me a story in return. Can I sleep with her tonight?”
Li Yanchen was put in a difficult position. He had promised that he and Lin Wan would have nothing between them beyond the marriage contract. He had agreed to give her the title of Mrs. Li, but that was it. She wasn’t obligated to take care of his children and would not have to worry about their relationship. But now, his youngest son wanted her company, and he didn’t want to burden her.
Lin Wan saw Li Yanchen hesitating. Lin Wan had been trying to find an excuse so that she didn’t have to spend a night in the same room with the man. “Sure,” she said hurriedly. “I know a lot of stories.”
“I want to hear them too!” said Li Zexin. “But I have a request. I don’t want dad to participate/ he should go to bed early. You can take my bed if you want.”
Lin Wan could tell that her stepson didn’t want her to be with his father. She agreed with him on that.
“It’s decided then!” said Lin Wan.
Li Zexuan was a high school student. He wasn’t interested in children’s stories. It was better to take advantage of the fact that his younger brothers were keeping Lin Wan busy. He could spend some time alone with his father.
“Then, dad, shall we take a walk together?” asked Li Zexuan.
“A walk in the middle of the night? Let’s just drink some tea in the courtyard,” said Li Yanchen.
“That would be fine too,” agreed Li Zexuan. He just wanted to spend some time with him, after all.
When they talked about tea, Lin Wan remembered the loquats in the well. She didn’t want to let them see how she made her special tea.
“Great! Then while you stay in the courtyard, peel the loquats for me,” said Lin Wan. “I have a use for it so don’t eat it.”
Li Yanchen recalled the loquats in the well.
“Why? If you aren’t going to let me eat it, why should I peel it anyway?” said Li Zexuan. “Besides, I can’t eat fruits at night! I will gain weight!”
“Sure.” Li Yanchen agreed without any hesitation.
Li Zexuan was stunned and angry. ‘Who orders a child to work in the middle of the night?’
Li Zekai thought Lin Wan had asked his father and his father to peel the loquats because she wanted to eat it later, alone. She had given him an extra sausage last time, so he didn’t object.
Li Zexin rolled his eyes and snorted. “You’re still the best when it comes to eating alone. ”
At eight at night, the camera in the live broadcast room cut to the room. As Lin Wan’s house was divided into two places for the task, there was an additional camera in the courtyard.
