The staff had an urgent meeting and discussed it thoroughly. Half of them believed that hosting an online concert at night was not practical.
Even for an online event, there was a need to set up a venue and get the instruments. Besides, it was freezing cold in Lan Village at this time of the year. A temporary shed wouldn’t protect from the cold. It wasn’t nice to look at, as well.
Choosing a particular livestream platform posed another challenge. Among the six groups of guests, no one had a large enough space that could accommodate so many people and instruments at the same time.
However, the fans’ wishes couldn’t be ignored. In the end, the director decided to hold an online music concert the next night. After contacting the guests and receiving their unanimous consent, the official announcement was made, along with an explanation of why there would be no broadcast tonight.
The fans expressed their understanding.
[The program team wants to present a better livestream effect.]
[Tomorrow at 2 p.m., Lan Village Online Concert. What a down-to-earth name!]
[Li Yanchen is in the list of performers? No way! I strongly protest!]
[Maybe Mr. Li is a backup dancer. The ambiance is important. Remember that dance of Mr. Li, Xinxin, and Xuanxuan during the Chenxin year-end banquet?]
[True. The program team has even considered the issue with the venue. They wouldn’t ignore the issue with our hearing. They won’t let Mr. Li sing.]
[I’m looking forward to it. Will there be no tasks today? What about dinner? Do the families figure that out on their own?]
[Probably no tasks. I wonder how good Teacher Bai is at cooking. I feel that neither she nor Teacher Qi can cook.]
[You’re wrong, both are good at cooking, Qi’s family started a food business.]
[Just because they started a food business doesn’t mean they might know how to cook.]
[Aren’t we supposed to be discussing song choices? Why are we talking about who can cook and who cannot?]
[I want to hear Sister Wan singing Old Xue’s song.]
Seeing the fans’ comments, the staff started jotting down the key points. They would see which one was the most requested song. Later, they planned to take this list and discuss with the guests if they could perform according to the fans’ choices.
At Xiao Yi’s house, Li Zexin felt for the first time that he was better than his big brother.
As Li Zexuan sighed, Li Zexin kept comforting him and telling him that he was doing well. However, he felt that he definitely wasn’t as stupid as his big brother when it came to gaming.
For the sixth time, the game ended in less than ten minutes. Li Zexuan’s confidence took a hit. Even though Xiao Yi consoled him, he still felt embarrassed.
“I think I’ll quit. I’m too bad at this,” Li Zexuan muttered.
Li Zexin was afraid his mentor would end up harming himself with pent-up frustration. So, he quickly said, “The weather is so nice. Let’s go outside and enjoy the scenery.”
Xiao Yi got up first.
[From the way Xiao Yi is acting, it seems he really doesn’t want to play games anymore.]
[Who noticed the username of the alternate account?]
[It’s so small you can’t even enlarge it. Does anyone think that they can play a couple of rounds with him only because they know him?]
[Isn’t that so?]
[Of course not! Either he has to invite you, or you have to invite him, and he accepts.]
[Fine, I give up.]
[It’s Xunaxuan’s first time playing. He lasted a few minutes. I think he is good enough. Xuanxuan, don’t feel embarrassed.]
Li Zexuan didn’t expect himself to be this bad at gaming. He stepped out of the courtyard and let out a weary sigh. The fans now knew just how bad he was. If he were to take on an esports role in the future, he’d probably get badly criticized.
Li Zexin hooked an arm around his brother’s shoulder. “Big brother, I finally have something I’m better at than you.”
Li Zexuan playfully kicked his little brother’s leg. “You’re a prodigy at gaming. You are comparing yourself with me who played for the first time? How shameless!”
Xiao Yi forced out a small smile. “You’re impressive.”
After returning from the western side of the village, Xia MO and Lin Wan headed to Bai Xue’s house.
Xia MO felt embarrassed to visit Bai Xue’s home by herself, so she insisted on taking Lin Wan along. Hand in hand, they walked slowly as they got closer to Bai Xue’s house.
“Xia, you’re squeezing my hand so hard,” Lin Wan said.
Xia MO swallowed. “I’m nervous.”
“We’re all human. Do you really need to be this anxious?” Lin Wan hadn’t expected that Xia MO, who never fangirled over anyone, would be like this today.
“Wanwan, have you never chased after celebrities? Think about it… If your idol appeared in front of you and participated in a variety show with you, would you not be excited?” Xia MO asked.
Lin Wan thought of Old Xue. If his family were to show up, she would probably scream. Her face looked like she was pining for love. Perhaps she would even beg Old Xue to sing with her.
“Look at your face! You are already imagining talking with your idol, aren’t you?” Xia MO felt a bit less nervous.
Lin Wan smiled. “No way! But if he were to come here, I would thank the program team incessantly. But he probably won’t come here. It’s the final episode, after all.”
“Who is it? A man or a woman?” Xia MO asked.
“Xia, are we even friends? I’ve sung so many of his songs, and you still ask me who it is. Why don’t we end our friendship here?”
“I know. It’s Old Xue! Sorry. I couldn’t think of him right now. But no, we cannot end our friendship.” Xia MO smiled.
“Wanwan, Xiaxia.” Bai Xue was planning to take a walk around the village. Just as she left the courtyard and turned a corner, she saw the two women in the middle of the path.
“Teacher Bai,” Xia MO stammered.
“Hello,” Lin Wan said in greeting.
“Teacher Bai, are you heading out? We were planning to visit your house. I’ve liked you for so long. I grew up watching your dramas! You are my favorite actress! There is no one else…” Xia MO was stumbling through her words.
Bai Xue shook Xia Mo’s hand. “I’ve also watched your and Wanwan’s livestreams. You two are really impressive.”
“Teacher Bai, it’s such an honor that you watched my livestreams,” said Xia MO shyly. “I remember you like desserts, but you want to maintain your physique, so you eat very little. We can make a sugar-free, low-calorie cake for you. We can make it right now!”
Lin Wan was speechless. ‘Did we make plans for that in the afternoon?’
After Xia MO finished speaking, she gave Lin Wan’s shirt a little tug, as if saying, “Help me out.”
Lin Wan nodded. “Yes, Teacher Bai, we’ve been working on a new product lately. It’s especially for those who are worried about their physique.”
“Really?” Bai Xue was delighted.
“Absolutely, Teacher Bai. Do you have any plans now? If not, would you like to go for a walk together?”
“Just call me Bai Xue. I don’t have anything to do right now, so I was planning to familiarize myself with the village’s surroundings.”
Xia MO was ecstatic that her idol was very approachable. She was overjoyed and instantly pulled Bai Xue between her and Lin Wan..
