Chapter 301: Someone Equally Bad
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ning Xiaoxiao and Wheatley sat on the ground and talked.
“Sister Xiaoxiao, have you ever thought about filming together with Brother Xuanxuan?” Ning Xiaoxiao and Li Zexuan were both child celebrities that she admired. If they worked together in a TV drama, she would definitely watch it.
Ning Xiaoxiao propped her chin on her hand. “Hm… I’ve thought about it, but we haven’t had the chance to talk about it. Li Zexuan is quite famous, but he hasn’t been acting in the past two years.”
“Sister, do you think I will be beautiful like you in the future?” asked Wheatley. “I don’t have an oval face. I am not even tall. All the stars are skinny and pretty.
I am chubby.”
“Wheatley, you are cute and pretty. You have such beautiful eyes. You need to have confidence in yourself,” said Ning Xiaoxiao.
Wheatley felt better about herself after talking to Ning Xiaoxiao.
“Okay, people, gather around! So, for the next part, let’s have grilled meat while we practice the songs. Whoever gets the song right will get a red flower. The one with the most flowers will be the winner! We’ll use a random song, and you have to guess the lyrics and sing it.”
The children returned to join their respective teams. They were determined to try their best. The children knew from experience that the winner always got a
nice reward.
The Festival Group played the song. Amidst the sounds of the bonfire, the sizzling meat, and the children talking among themselves, Li Yanchen couldn’t hear the lyrics properly.
“I can’t hear a thing. How am I supposed to sing?” he asked with a skewer in his hand.
“You have to guess the lyrics by listening to the tune,” said Lin Wan.
Li Yanchen sighed. To him, every tune sounded the same. He would never be able to figure it out.
“Wanwan, you take a guess. I’ll promise to cook a delicious meal for you in exchange.”
Lin Wan was hoping Li Yanchen would give up. His singing was awful. She didn’t want him to scare the viewers away.
[Teacher Zheng and Lin Wan are amazing! They recognized so many songs.]
[I feel like they have equal numbers of red flowers in their hands.]
[Mr. Li didn’t raise his hand even once. What’s going on? I thought he would try his best. He even asked the Festival Group if it was alright to sing badly.]
[I think he gave up, which is good for us. Otherwise, I’ll have nightmares listening to him sing.]
[Oh god, Coach Michael is still trying to sing! Can someone persuade him to be like Mr. Li? He should stop singing.]
[If Mr. Li is a black hole, then Michael seems to be the whole abyss. It’s fine if he just sings badly, but who taught him falsetto and made it even worse? My ears are hurting.]
[Teacher Zheng should have answered the questions himself. Why did he whisper the name of the song to Michael? Michael sings so confidently even though he is so bad at it. My ears are ringing.]
[Even Wheatley is covering her ears. Hahaha… Mr. Li has finally someone who is equally bad at singing.]
After singing two songs, Michael was fired up. He wanted to sing more.
Li Yanchen couldn’t take it anymore. He picked up a lamb skewer and offered it to Michael. “You must be tired from all that singing. Please have this.”
[Hahaha… Mr. Li is being so polite. He should have told Michael how bad his singing was. I know he gave Michael a skewer to shut his mouth. Teacher
Zheng sang around 10 songs, yet I didn’t see him being offered any skewers.] [I finally know why Mr. Li tries so hard. He must know he isn’t the worst of them all.]
[When people sing, can they not hear themselves?]
[Nannan is smart. She brought earphones along. She doesn’t care for the competition as much as her ears.]
Wheatley tugged at her father’s clothes to try to stop him. However, it only seemed to make him more eager. Even Li Yanchen’s lamb skewer couldn’t shut his mouth.
The Festival Group had prepared 50 songs in total. However, they cut it down to 30 when they saw how eager Michael was.
In the end, Zheng Kuo collected the most flowers. His family received a heater as a reward, while the others received hand warmers as complimentary gifts.
The viewers were disappointed with the rewards.
[The Festival Group is becoming really stingy. Why not just send the guests some firewood instead if this was all they could come up with?]
[I think giving a hand warmer as a gift is cute.]
[Does the village even have a strong electrical outlet to use a heater?]
[Li Chuan looks so cute with an alpaca hand warmer.]
[Li Chuan is also decent at singing. I heard he loves playing the bass.]
[Unfortunately, Li Chuan got it wrong too many times.]
After the first game, the staff let the family eat something. The second activity would begin half an hour later.
Lin Wan’s mouth devoured tood nonstop.
Zhou Pei only had some mushrooms. She admired Lin Wan for being able to eat so much while remaining so skinny.
Since they had already had a big meal in the afternoon, Ning Xiaoxiao did not dare push her luck. She only drank a bowl of soup and pretended to be full while inhaling the aroma of the barbecue.
Ning Weiwei was much happier. The little girl went back and forth between the two grills and tried all kinds of meat and roasted veggies.
At around 6:30 p.m., the second activity began.
The staff distributed some spoons to the families. Li Chuan was made to join the Li family this time. The leader of each team would place a lemon on their spoon and pass it to their team members.
The whistle sounded and the game began.
The height difference between the people of Feifei, Xiao Yi, and Wheatley’s families was an obstacle. The lemon kept falling as it was passed to the next person. In the end, Xiao Tianlin had the children line up from tall to short, and their parents stood behind them. [Xuanxuan, Li Chuan, and Xiao Yi, go for it! You can do it!] [Is there a sense in this grouping?] [I feel like this is unfair. Xiao Yi’s team had two little children.]
[Xuanxuan’s team will definitely win.]
Before Xiao Yi’s group could successfully pass the lemon, the last in line from the other group raised his hand to signal that they were done.
Even though they lost the match, Feifei and the others were still very happy. They jumped and cheered for Li Zekai’s group.
“Jiejie, you did so well!” said Feifei as he ran to his friend. “I didn’t even get the lemon, but your team was already done!”
“It’s my brother who was great,” said Li Zekai. “I couldn’t even pass the lemon properly.”
“Me too! It fell a few times. Daddy said it was alright.” The last in line had been Zheng Kuo, and Feifei was supposed to pass the lemon to him. His father had leaned down, but Feifei had stumbled on his tiptoes and the lemon had fallen to the ground. Feifei had looked up at his father guiltily, but his father had said it was fine.
Feifei tried comforting his friend in the same way. “Thank you, Feifei.” Li Zekai finally smiled..
