âWhen you go back, donât expect to stay in one room,â Li Zexin said.
âI mean, it will be fun at home.â
âYou can ask Brother Xuanxuan. I donât care anyway.â
âBrother Xinxin, does that mean you agree? Great!â said Li Zekai.
Li Zekai turned to Li Zexuan, only to see Li Zexuan burying himself in the blankets and pretending to be asleep.
âBig brother, youâre pretending to sleep again. If you donât want to, just say no. Why act like this?â Li Zexin complained.
Li Zexuan slowly poked his head out from the blanket. âDo you even need to ask? Iâm already an adult, and adults need their own private space.â
âAlright. When we get back, Li Zekai and Iâll be living together. Donât you be jealous.â
âBrother Xinxin, Iâve thought about it. We should each have our own rooms. I also need privacy now.â Li Zekai suddenly changed his mind.
âWhy does a little kid like you need privacy?â
âI canât tell you about it. Goodnight, Iâm going to sleep,â Li Zekai said as he lay on the bed and covered himself with the blanket.
After muttering to himself for a moment and getting no response, Li Zexin had no choice but to go to sleep as well.
The next day, everyone woke up early.
Bai Xue and her family distributed the food they had brought to each household.
Amidst the thanks from everyone, Bai Xue said, âI should be thanking you for being willing to taste the food from my home.â
Xia MO and Tao Jingyuan, who were Bai Xueâs biggest fans, opened the packages and enjoyed the food with relish.
The livestream started at eight oâclock, and the broadcast first played a song, followed by an announcement that there were no tasks in the morning. However, all the guests were required to be in their own yards at one oâclock in the afternoon.
The guests started talking with each other after the announcement.
Lin Wan whispered, âDoes this mean we canât visit each other in the afternoon?â
âHmm, do you think theyâre going to give us something? Maybe we have to collect it ourselves,â Li Yanchen said without much thought.
âItâs possible.â
At Wheatleyâs house.
âDo the kids have to stay home too?â Wheatley asked as she ate the whole wheat bread.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âEveryone, including the kids,â Nannan said gently.
âOkay.â
At Xiao Yiâs house, Xiao Yi didnât usually like to visit others, so the announcement didnât really matter to him. He had planned to stay at home all day anyway.
At Feifeiâs house, Feifei wasnât too happy.
âMom, canât I go out to play in the afternoon?â he asked.
âIt should only be for a little while.â
âAlright, I made plans with my brother and sister to go fight some imaginary monsters today,â Feifei grumbled.
âDonât worry, Feifei, there will definitely be time for you to play,â Zheng Kuo said to his son as he patted his shoulder.
âOkay, Dad.â
At Tutuâs house, the first thing the boy thought of was that he couldnât go out to play.
He lowered his head sadly. âDad, itâs just the two of us at home. Wonât it be boring if we canât go out?â
Su Wei patted his sonâs head. âYou and I can play games together.â
âOkay.â
At Bai Xueâs house, Qi Yue nodded in agreement when she heard the announcement.
âMom, can you guess why we have to stay home in the afternoon?â
âI guess itâs to test everyoneâs self-control⦠to see if they will follow orders seriously.â
âMakes sense! Then, I definitely wonât go out.â
In the production office, the staff had already coordinated and were preparing to welcome the owner of Lan Village in the afternoon.
Many villagers from Lan Village who had watched the livestream in the hotel had a lot to say to the guests from the city.
They also wanted to thank these people for bringing Lan Village back to life.
During this time, with the care of the butler, over twenty elderly people learned to use smartphones. They had never imagined that their hometown could be so beautiful.
âDirector, we discussed with the hotelâs butler. Can the elderly villagers return to the village at noon and then go home at one oâclock?â
âYes.â
âGreat.â âAlso, let them finish their lunch early, so they wonât go hungry.â
âOkay.â
At the hotel, the elderly villagers were sunbathing together in the courtyard on the first floor.
âThis Zekai kid is quite something,â the village chief said.
âHeâs indeed not bad, but I prefer that chubby kid who always plays with him,â Grandma Zhang said.
âI like Xinxin. Heâs the one who stayed at my house,â Auntie Wang said.
âGrandpa Liu, are you saying you had a high IQwhen you were young? How is that related to Xiao Yi?â
âIsnât it all about games? One on the computer and the other in real life,â said Grandpa Liu.
âI think Wheatley is the most charming of them all. She speaks so sweetly.â
âYes. Wheatley is very eloquent.â
The elderly villagers talked about their favorites.
âWeâll be meeting them in the afternoon. I want to take the sunflowers I personally picked and give them to the guests.â
âAuntie Wang, I didnât prepare anything. What should I do?â Auntie Qin asked.
âIâm going to do my own thing. You do your own.â Auntie Wang didnât care if others had prepared anything or not.
âOur family has local specialties, right? Weâll see what they like at that time and give it to them, â Grandpa Song suggested.
âThatâs true. They all say they like rural specialties.â
âThat being said, we really need to thank them for bringing attention to Lan
Village. Otherwise, we would just be forgotten.â
âIf you want to express your gratitude, do it in person.â
In Lan Village in the morning, everyone had free time. After visiting each otherâs houses, the first thing everyone talked about was which house they would go to for lunch.
Only after the meal arrangements were settled did they begin to think about why the production team had asked everyone to stay at home in the afternoon.
Children always seem to forget. A few of them gathered together and played with marbles.
The adults sat together and talked while basking in the sun.
Their voices were not loud, but the people in the livestream room could faintly hear them.
[Donât the guests know whatâs happening in the afternoon?]
[Wasnât there a script? Could it really be all live? Nothing was planned?]
[@Previous Poster, is this your first time watching the show? There was never really a script. Many tasks are arranged by the production team on the spot.] [Could a mysterious person be arriving?]
[Itâs impossible! If a mysterious person was joining the show, the guests would all be gathering at the village entrance, not at their own homes.]
[Stop guessing. Listen to what Xuanxuan is saying. Why do I hear him say that he doesnât want to share a room with Xinxin? Did they fight?]
[@Previous Poster, you must have really good ears to hear all that.]
[Xuanxuan and his brothers are on very good terms. They couldnât be fighting.] Li Zexuan and Xiao Yi talked.
âLi Zexin is becoming more and more dependent. He said last night that he wanted to share a room with me when we go back as if I would want that.â âYes. That kid is getting out of hand. Should I kick him out of the team?â
âThatâs not necessary. Although heâs immature, heâs not a bad person. He is also very hardworking. â
âBig brother, why are you saying bad things about me behind my back?â âWhat did I say?â Li Zexuan feigned innocence.
âWind God, you said it, didnât you? You said you wanted to kick me out of the team! Iâm your mentee, but you didnât even protect me. Hmph..
Li Zexin crossed his arms in a huff. âCan he be kicked out?â
Li Zexin shook his head desperately..
