Chapter 204 - 204 I Thought You Were a Tsundere

204 I Thought You Were a Tsundere

Li Yanchen watched Lin Wan being very focused in the live stream.

An evil thought emerged in his mind. Li Yanchen thought that only a child would make their relationship permanent. If they had a daughter, she would definitely side with Lin Wan. But if they had a son, maybe Lin Wan would hold on to him forever.

The corners of his mouth turned up into an imperceptible smile. ‘How will I convince her?’ he thought. His face darkened at the thought.

He rested his chin on one hand and seemed to be deep in thought.

At Wheatley’s house., she played with her dollhouse for a while after lunch. She felt very bored, so she told Nannan that she was going to Li Zekai’s house.

The sandpit in the Li family’s backyard became more and more lively.

Li Zexuan, who was playing guitar in his bedroom, heard the noise and couldn’t help but walk to the backyard to join his brother.

After Lin Wan’s live stream ended, Xia Mo hid a few slices of the cake and gave the remaining to the Festival Group. When the staff walked via the small path, they saw Li Zexuan in the sand pit and took out their phone to click a few pictures.

“I am stunned. Li Zexuan is playing in the sand pit!”

“What kind of show is this? Does he not think of himself as an idol anymore?”

“Xuanxuan is smiling so happily. This is the first time I’ve seen him so carefree.”

“Happiness is contagious. Quickly inform the camera crew to add a camera to the Li family’s backyard.”

A few minutes later, when the staff emerged with cameras to set them up near the sand pit, all the children were confused. They knew by now that these cameras were for the live broadcast.

Li Zexuan turned around. His back faced the camera. He patted off the sand from his clothes.

[Did the Festival Group add another camera to the Li family’s house?]

[It seems so. Xuanxuan is actually playing in the sand pit.]

[Xuanxuan, I thought you were a tsundere. Why are you digging sand with little children?]

[I like seeing Xuanxuan like this. He doesn’t seem so cold and aloof like before.]

[Me too! Xuanxuan, don’t be embarrassed. We like to watch you being like this.]

[Xuanxuan got out of the sand pit. He is standing at the side. He looks so serious. Does he think people would laugh at him if he played with sand?]

[The Festival Group must have been in disbelief when they saw Xuanxuan digging the sand, so they added a camera at the last minute. But Xuanxuan is embarrassed now. Although we want to see Xuanxuan playing in the sand, I think it’s better if he is left alone since having cameras makes him uncomfortable. I am okay with not being able to see as long as Xuanxuan enjoys himself.]

Beside the sandpit, Li Zexuan placed his hands on his knees and looked at the children building a sandcastle. He had hurriedly gotten out of the sand pit. He hoped no one had seen him because he didn’t want to ruin his “cold and aloof” image.

“Wheatley, help me hold this up. Why did this side collapse again?” Li Zekai kept adding sand to the walls of the castle, but no matter how much he added, the walls still couldn’t hold upright.

Wheatley’s pressed down on the sand to harden it as Li Zekai poured more of it. However, when she let go, the walls collapsed again.

Feifei also came to help using the small cart he had brought with him. But it wasn’t working.

Jian Jia tried to help too. The four of them pressed down on the sand to harden it but it still wasn’t working.

Li Zexuan couldn’t take it anymore. He glanced at the camera. “This triggers my obsessive-compulsive disorder. Somebody should help these poor children”

“Get out of the way,” he said as he jumped back into the sandpit.

“Brother, you have a way?” Li Zekai moved to the side.

Li Zexuan dug out some sand from the darker areas and replaced the sand on the walls. He then pressed down on the sand till the walls were upright.

“Brother Xuanxuan, you are amazing!” said Jian Jia, clapping his hands. “Did you use magic?”

Feifei placed both its hands in the sandpit and looked at the wall. “Brother, how did you do it?”

Li Zexuan sat among the children.

“The darker the color, the more damp the sand is, which means it has moisture,” explained Li Zexuan. “Feifei, it’s just like your clay. When you make things from clay, you have to wet them first, right? And then you put them together and it stays in the way you make them even when it dries.”

“I get it! The sand is too dry so it collapses when we pile them up!” Feifei understood when he related it with clay.

Li Zekai hugged his brother. “Big brother, you are so smart!”

“Brother Xuanxuan, play with us. We want to make a small boat next.” Jian Jia grabbed Li Zexuan’s hand.

“Brother Xuanxuan, let’s play together!” Wheatley said as she handed Li Zexuan a small shovel.

All of a sudden, Li Zexuan became the core figure among the children. His heart was filled with joy.

An idol was also a human. Besides, the young children needed him.

Li Zexuan thought to himself, ‘Why does image matter so much anyway? I want to play with sand. It’s alright. As for the cameras, I will just ignore them.’

Seeing their idol join the team of children again, the fans were relieved.

[Xuanxuan, don’t be so conflicted. We like the real you.]

[My baby is becoming more and more cheerful. That’s great!]

[Lin Wan really changed this family.]

[A family with a dull environment needs someone like Lin Wan to drive it.]

[I feel the same way. Only people who complement each other can grow together. Lin Wan’s cleverness has changed the Li family.]

[When did the Li family change so much? It’s as if everyone has changed without knowing about it.]

In the courtyard of the Li family house, Xia Mo and Lin Wan appeared in the live stream at the same time.

When Li Yanchen saw his wife, he smiled. He handed Lin Wan a cup of yogurt. “Here. Honey, you’ve worked hard.”

“Are you guys going to showcase your love in front of everyone again? I better go then,” said Xia Mo and left.

Lin Wan unwrapped a slice of cake and gave it to Li Yanchen. “I saved a piece for you, Mr. Soft-hearted.”

[Cake made by Xiao Huan herself. Mr. Soft-hearted, this is a double-edged sword.]

[Would Mr. Li be touched enough to hug and kiss her in front of everyone?]

...

[Waiting online for Mr. Li’s bashful actions…]

To Lin Wan’s surprise, Li Yanchen pretended not to know the meaning. “Mr. Soft-hearted? What’s that?’

[What?]

[When Lin Wan explained the name of the dessert, did no one alert him to watch it? Didn’t Mr. Li look at the comments?]

[He must be pretending. He just wants to hear it from Lin Wan in person.]

“Yea. It means it’s hard on the outside but soft on the inside. Like you.” Lin Wan didn’t know that Li Yanchen had watched the live stream and he was deliberately making her repeat it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I am “hard” when I need to be hard and “soft” when I need to be. It’s very important to know this if I want a certain “trick” to succeed.” Li Yanchen smirked.

Lin Wan was baffled. She stuffed the slice of cake into his mouth. “Eat more and talk less,” she said.

[What did I just hear? Did I misunderstand?]

[Although I don’t want to admit it, Mr. Li knows exactly what he said.]

[Mr. Li is so daring. Even if people understood what he said, he did it so subtly that nobody can accuse him.]

...

[I can prove that Mr. Li didn’t mean anything bad. It’s just your imaginations getting the better of you. Mr. Li, you can continue.]

“You do have to eat more,” said Lin Wan. “You’ll only have the strength to do the weeding after you’re full.”
