By half past nine that morning, some families had already arrived.

The staff wore colorful clothes and held ribbons and flowers to welcome the guests. “Welcome, Xiao Yi and family!”

Xiao Yi and his family dragged their luggage behind them and walked to the staff.

“That hurts my eyes,” whispered Xiao Tianlin.

“Red Team, the family you are assigned to is here,” the director informed the group of staff dressed all in red.

“Is this a new rule? ” Xiao Tianlin asked.

“It is! Every family will have their own group of staff to help them. It’s like having a personal butler. If you have anything you need, you can tell them.”

“But… why? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the show? The whole point of the show was to show that we are also ordinary people,” said Xiao Tianlin. “If we have staff to serve us, that will defeat the whole purpose.”

“No, no. They won’t be serving you, at all. They are just there for emergencies.

Mostly, they will be there to inform you about your tasks or adjust the cameras. Basically, they are there to make sure everything flows smoothly.”

“Oh…

The next to arrive were Feifei and Wheatley’s families. When the two families saw the colorful procession, they stopped in their tracks.

They looked at each other and wondered whether they had stumbled into the wrong place.

“What is this? Did the show change its venue? Maybe we are in the wrong place,” said Zheng Kuo as he looked around. He was certain this was the same Lan Village they had visited before.

“There is Brother Xiao and his family.” Feifei pointed at Xiao Yi.

When they walked near, the staff shouted to welcome them.

The Li family and Ning Xiaoxiao’s family were the last to arrive. The members of the Li family wanted to walk to the entrance directly but were interrupted by Ning Xiaoxiao.

“Li Zexuan!” shouted Ning Xiaoxiao and rushed out of the car.

They turned to look. Lin Wan looked at Ning Xiaoxiao carefully.

Ning Xiaoxiao’s hair was tied into pigtails. She was wearing a purple JK uniform. She was fair-skinned and tall. When she smiled, two dimples appeared on her cheeks.

Ning Xiaoxiao looked very lively and energetic. She was completely different from the cold and aloof Li Zexuan.

Lin Wan guessed this was the flying guest for the fourth episode. Li Zekai looked at the girl. “Sister Mengmeng!”

The others were stunned. How did Li Zekai know this girl?

“Sister Mengmeng, I saw you on TV during the summer break. I didn’t think I would get to see you in person! My friend, He Shuting, likes you so much! She even bought a box of pens. It has your photo on it! Are you the flying guest for this episode?”

Ning Xiaoxiao had watched the previous episodes before coming to Lan Village. She recognized Li Zekai. He was Li Zexuan’s youngest brother.

She leaned down. “You saw my show? Thank you so much for watching it. Thank your friend for showing so much love and support. And yes, I am the flying guest for this episode.”

“Ah, it’s really Sister Mengmeng!” exclaimed Li Zekai. “Can I have an autograph? I will get my notebook from the luggage. Please wait for me here.”

“Sure,” said Ning Xiaoxiao. “But my real name isn’t Mengmeng. I am Ning Xiaoxiao. You can call me Sister Xiaoxiao.”

“Okay, Sister Xiaoxiao!” Li Zekai looked at his elder brother. “Brother, do you know Sister Xiaoxiao?”

“Hello, I’m Ning Xiaoxiao.” The girl reached out her hand for a handshake.

Out of courtesy, Li Zexuan obliged. “Hi, I am Li Zexuan.”

Ning Xiaoxiao then walked toward Lin Wan. “Hi, Sister Lin. I watched the previous episodes. I really like you! I am so fortunate to be able to participate in this show with you. I love the cake you make, and you sing so well! Our company wants to sign you in.”

“Thank you so much for the compliment,” said Lin Wan with a forced smile on her face.

Ning Xiaoxiao was trying to flatter Lin Wan with her sweet talk. She was similar to Li Zexuan. They were of the same social standing. She was polite as well.

“Mom, dad, this is the celebrity I wanted to work with the most!” said Ning Xiaoxiao. “He is even more handsome in person! This is Li Zexuan.”

Ning JianYuan and Zhou Pei dragged their luggage from their car and joined them.

Ning Jiangyuan was dressed in a suit. He was a short and skinny man. Zhuo Pei had short hair. She wore a camel coat. Both looked very professional.

The parents of both families greeted each other.

“Sister, is this Brother Xuanxuan you always talk about?” asked Ning Xiaoxiao’s little sister.

Ning Weiwei stood on her tiptoes and looked at Li Zexuan. “Brother Xuanxuan, my sister likes you so much. She even has a big poster of you in her room.”

Ning Xiaoxiao pulled her sister away in embarrassment. “Please don’t mind her. You are my role model, that’s all. I am a big fan of your work.”

“It’s almost time. Let’s talk when we reach the village. We can walk there together,” said Zhou Pei.

Li Yanchen and Lin Wan found it hard to reject their offer. The four adults walked in front. The children followed behind.

Ning Xiaoxiao and Ning Weiwei walked on either side of Li Zexuan. Li Zekai walked on the right side of Ning Xiaoxiao

The Li family and Ning family arrived at the village entrance. The staff’s welcome was deafening.

Wheatley’s eyes were fixed on Li Zexuan and Ning Xiaoxiao. The two celebrities she admired the most were both here today!

Ning Xiaoxiao’s family was arranged to stay at the house where Luo Xi had stayed in the previous episode. That house was closest to the Li family house for the duration of the episode.

When the five families reached their respective houses, the livestream started.

At the Ning family house, Ning Xiaoxiao was mindful of her image. Before facing the camera, she tidied up her hair. It was her first time on the variety show.

The four members of the Ning family introduced themselves in front of the camera.

[Xiaoxiao, everyone knows you!]

[Xiaoxiao, I love you just as much as the rice crust loves the bottom of a burnt pot.]

[My dear daughter, your mommy is right here.]

[Wifey, I have been waiting for your livestream! I am here at Beijing University, waiting for you to grow up fast and attend college.]

[Xiaoxiao, our whole family loves you so much. Children and elderly alike! We love Mengmeng! ]

[Finally, Xiaoxiao is in the variety show! I have been waiting so long.]

[I love Xiaoxiao! I’m going to die of happiness!]

There were more people in Xiaoxiao’s live broadcast room than in the Li family’s broadcast channel.

“Thank you for showing so much love for Xiaoxiao,” said Zhou Pei. “If she has done anything to offend you, please forgive her.” [Is her mother her manager? She actually replied to us!] [Our Xiaoxiao can never offend us!]

[That’s right. We love Xiaoxiao no matter what.]

[Yes. You should do more livestreams, Xiaoxiao..]
