Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

During the previous episodes, Li Yanchen had yearned to eat Lin Wan’s cooking. However, he was a little hesitant now that she offered to cook.

“Although I feel ecstatic with that offer, ” said Li Yanchen, “I can’t bear to make you cook every day.” [Mr. Li is such a gentleman.]

[He really is!]

[Are you sure he is not doing that because Lin Wan’s cooking is bad?]

[No. It does seem like he likes her food but can’t bear to let her cook every day.

My husband only knows how to lie on the sofa and order me around.]

[It’s the same for me. I get criticized all the time for the food I cook, but no one ever offers to help me in the kitchen. Mr. Li is such a rich and successful man, and yet he doesn’t mind doing nice things for his wife. He is even willing to cook.]

[Mr. Li really deserves his success and his happiness for being the kind of person he is.]

“Okay then,” said Lin Wan. “You cook.”

Li Yanchen’s fingers froze on his chopsticks. Lin Wan was so blunt.

[Hahaha… Lin Wan definitely doesn’t stand on ceremony. Maybe Mr. Li hoped Lin Wan would insist on sharing the burden of cooking meals for the family, but she was so straightforward and agreed to let him do it.]

[Isn’t that good? She doesn’t beat around the bush and directly comes to the point.]

[That’s right. Being honest and straightforward is good.]

[Mr. Li is stunned.]

It was already 12:30 p.m. when the five families finished their lunch. They headed to the field.

The staff introduced the rules for the task. For the sake of fairness, the children were allowed to comDete first. The winning child’s familv would directly win two spots to enter the next round.

It was obvious that Ning Xiaoxiao and Li Zexuan would have to compete against Li Zekai and Ning Weiwei.

The fans were annoyed.

[What kind of lousy competition is this? Obviously, Xiaoxiao and Xuanxuan will give in to their younger sibling. They will be eliminated before they even start the mission. What’s the point?]

[The rules for the mission are getting more and more confusing. Is this a test to see whether Xiaoxiao and Xuanxuan would choose family over victory? It sounds so boring.]

[If either Xiaoxiao or Xuanxuan lose without even playing, I won’t watch the rest of this mission.]

[Me too! Let the Festival Group come up with more creative tasks. This is just stupid.]

The other families understood the Festival Group’s intentions. Both the Ning and the Li families had four people each. They were made to compete with each other so that one family could be picked. It would be fair for the others.

Tao Jingyuan stepped forward. “They are just children. Let the children participate altogether. There is no need to try to eliminate one family.”

Xia MO agreed. “Yes. There is not much difference between a family of four or three. Besides, the children will enjoy it more if they play together.”

The children also agreed. They wanted to play together.

[The guests are so civil.]

[I support Teacher Xia and Lavvyer Tao too.]

The staff discussed and finally agreed with the guests.

“If the other families have no objection, we don’t mind as well. This Cockfight will be a free-for-all. All the children can join in together. Do you see the white circle? You must try not to cross that while balancing yourself on one leg and tackling the others. The last one standing will be the winner. The winner’s family will be exempted from tomorrow’s vegetable planting routine.” “Dad, what is vegetable planting?” Li Zekai asked.

“It’s simple. You dig a hole in the ground, put some seeds or saplings in the holes, and cover them up. It’s like planting trees,” said Li Yanchen.

“Digging a hole? Like playing with sand? Dad, I want to dig holes and plant vegetables. Can I lose?” asked Feifei. The child loved playing in the sand.

“Feifei, let’s lose together. Planting vegetables is fun. I participated in planting trees before. It was so fun because I got to play in the mud!” Li Zekai wanted to lose too.

“Don’t let them know that we plan to lose,” whispered Li Zekai to Feifei.

Feifei nodded. He felt that it was a loss if you won and didn’t get to plant vegetables. He didn’t want to fight to win this round.

A whistle sounded, signaling for them to start.

Xiao Yi was the oldest. He looked at his younger brothers and sisters and wanted to give in. However, his mother had made him promise that he would try his best no matter what the competition was.

“Let’s have one-on-one first,” said Xiao Yi as he charged toward Li Zexuan balancing on one leg.

Li Zexuan obliged. After a few seconds of tackling each other, Li Zexuan emerged victorious.

Xiao Yi walked out of the circle.

Li Zekai and Feifei raised their legs and balanced themselves on their other legs. They neither attacked nor dodged.

Ning Xiaoxiao and Wheatley felt embarrassed to fight the two little boys. The four of them stood on one foot and watched each other silently. Ning Xiaoxiao let them be and pretended to attack Wheatley. When Wheatley charged at her, she dropped her feet to the ground and accepted defeat. She walked out of the circle to stand beside Xiao Yi.

Only Li Zexuan, Wheatley, Li Zekai, and Feifei remained.

Li Zexuan was taller than the kids. “Three of you, come at me together!”

Li Zekai gave a war cry and pretended to charge at his brother. However, the three kids crashed into each other and fell to the ground.

Li Zexuan was speechless.o

“Sister Wheatley, why did you fall with us?” asked Li Zekai. Only he and Feifei had agreed to lose deliberately so that they could play in the mud while planting vegetables. They didn’t expect Wheatley to do the same. “I wanted to lose, too,” whispered Wheatley. “I want to plant vegetables.” “So, no one wanted to win from the beginning?” asked Feifei.

“Li Zexuan is the winner!” declared the staff. “Li Zexuan, if you will follow me to join the adults…”

The three children who were still on the ground looked at each other smugly.

“It’s a good thing we decided to lose. Otherwise, we would have had to compete with the adults. We would have been sent flying!” said Li Zekai.

“Yeah. Uncle Xiao almost sent your father flying. I don’t think we would have survived,” said Wheatley.

“Will Brother Xuanxuan be okay? Why didn’t he just pretend to fall with us?” asked Feifei.

[What?! Did the children lose deliberately?]

[The kids lost on purpose…]

[It is to be expected. All children love playing in the mud and digging holes in the soil. They obviously threw the game.]

[My daughter is the same. She always wants to join when she sees me in the garden, just so that she can play with the soil.]

[Xuanxuan is going to join the adults. Won’t he be injured?]

[That won’t happen. Only Magician Xiao, Michael, and Li Yanchen are still standing. They will probably give in to Xuanxuan.]

The adults stayed away from Li Zexuan. They played for a while until only Xiao Tianlin and Li Zexuan were left in the circle.

Li Zekai realized that things were not looking good for him. If his brother managed to win, then his family would be considered winners.. He won’t get to plant vegetables!
