“Camellia!” the staff said.
Everyone started pulling the person they had set their sights on, but because all the guests were trying to grab someone at the same time, the scene became chaotic.
In the end, Doudou was eliminated. Tears streamed down her face. Not a single person had pulled her with them.
Pei Lingfeng had wanted to pick up his daughter, but Xia MO and Tutu had pulled him over.
‘This is bad. I didn’t even protect my daughter.’
He wanted to say that his daughter should be allowed to continue instead of him.
When Doudou cried, everyone went to her to comfort her.
Li Meng didn’t expect her daughter to be so serious about a small game. She stepped onto the stage, leaned down, and patted her daughter’s head. “Doudou, you did great! It’s fun to watch from down there. Come with me. Don’t cry. Let’s cheer for Daddy, okay? If he wins, we win too!”
Li Meng’s words were meant as encouragement, but Pei Lingfeng felt as though it was implying that he was trying to win at all costs.
“Honey…”
“Cheer up,” Li Meng said with a smile.
The other guests also comforted Doudou. After a while, Doudou stopped crying, and Li Meng carried her down from the stage.
[Coach Pei looks so hopeless. It’s hilarious.]
[I felt that Coach Pei would get eliminated willingly, but now he has to deal with the pressure of Li Meng’s trust in him. Coach Pei’s inner thoughts might be, “What does my wife mean?”]
[Poor Doudou… her mom got eliminated, and she got eliminated too. Dad keeps joining other teams.]
[Our iron triangle is together again.]
The competition continued. In the end, only three people remained: Xiao Yi, Li Zexin, and Li Zekai.
The staff said, “We’re entering the final round.”
[I didn’t expect Jiejie would make it to the final round.]
[I thought it would be Xiao Yi, Xinxin, and Xuanxuan. That way Xiao Yi would have had a tough decision to make. I didn’t expect Li Zekai to stay put. Now, Xinxin has a tough choice to make.]
[This is like that impossible riddle where you have two of the dearest people in your life, and you are made to choose who you will save if they fell in the water.]
[One is his idol, and the other one is his little brother. I feel torn for Xinxin.]
[He won’t choose the Wind God, right? Jiejie is so pitiful.]
[Everyone, be rational. Xinxin should choose the Wind God. This way, both families will have a winner, and they can share the prize together. If Li Zekai is chosen, only the Li family will win.]
[@Previous Poster, you’re really smart. If Xinxin wins, it will mean Jiejie won too!]
[I wonder if Xinxin will think of that.]
Lin Wan saw the dilemma of her stepson. One was his idol, and the other was his brother. Giving up on either of them was impossible. “Mr. Li, who do you think will win in the end?”
“Li Zekai and Xiao Yi,” said Li Yanchen without hesitation.
“Li Zekai?”
“Yes. Xinxin will definitely get himself eliminated deliberately. If Li Zekai wins, it means our family won. It will also mean Xiao Yi will win as well.”
“Why didn’t I think of that?”
The music played. The three of them began to walk in circles.
Li Zekai didn’t have much confidence in himself. “Brother, you have to take care of me.’
Li Zexin smiled at his brother, and Xiao Yi remained calm. Li Zexin was not a fool. He would definitely know how to choose.
“Azaleas with two petals.”
Li Zexin stepped back from the red carpet. Xiao Yi and Li Zekai hugged each other.
[Oh my… I never even guessed it.]
[Xinxin is so smart. Li Zekai winning is the same as the Li family winning. He eliminated himself.]
[So, I’m the dumb one.]
[It’s ridiculous to worry so much when others have their own plans. It’s so much better this way.]
Xiao Yi gave Li Zexin a thumbs up. Li Zekai stood still and looked at his brother. “The winners are Xiao Yi and Li Zekai. Both families are winners!”
Li Zekai finally understood. He smiled. “Brother, even though you let me win this time, it’s because of me that both of us received the reward.
“Yes. You’re amazing!” Li Zexin said.
“Let’s leave for the clubhouse at 3,” said the director. “We still have half an hour left. Everyone can freshen up.”
[So, what’s the reward for the mission? Will they be treated as VIPs?]
[Maybe they’ll get to experience something luxurious.] [Is there going to be a livestream?]
“We’ll be livestreaming the entire way,” the director said.
[Great!]
[Can little kids go for a massage too?]
[Are you dumb? Kids have their own activities.]
[That’s true.]
Finally, they could relax at the clubhouse. The guests went home to change their clothes. Some packed their clothes, and some took their phones to keep themselves engaged while they had their massage.
After setting off, everyone realized that they had been lied to. The car drove for a whole hour before they reached their destination. The place wasn’t nearby at all.
Some children felt sick from the car ride, so the microphone in the livestream was turned off. The director had wanted to plan an activity for the journey, but no one was feeling up to it.
[Feifei doesn’t look comfortable.]
[It’s taking so long. Are they not there yet?]
[I thought they’d sing songs and interact on the way, but there’s no program at all.]
[Show some understanding.]
Finally, the car came to a stop. There was a thick fog on the mountaintop.
“We’ve arrived! Everyone, please line up. Our Begonia Clubhouse is just a five-minute walk from here.” The director led the way.
“I hope this isn’t a trick,” Nannan blurted out.
“Do you see the green glazed tiles? It’s over there.” The director pointed.
“Do you see the green glazed tiles? It’s over there.” The director pointed.
Everyone formed two lines and followed closely behind.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the clubhouse. There was only one building on the mountainside. Lin Wan couldn’t imagine why the owner of the clubhouse chose to open it here.
If she remembered correctly, they hadn’t seen a single pedestrian along the way.
In such a desolate place, could a business like this flourish?
After everyone entered through the rotating door, they discovered that the lobby of the clubhouse looked very luxurious.
“These pillars are made of real gold and silver,” the director whispered. When the staff saw the guests enter, they greeted them. “Welcome!”
“That’s unusual,” Xia MO whispered to Xiao Tianlin.
“This clubhouse is extraordinary,” Li Meng said. To open such a luxurious clubhouse in a remote location, there must be a stable customer base. Moreover, the clubhouse wasn’t very large, and although there weren’t many guests, they were likely to be very wealthy. It was probably a members-only establishment.
“Please follow me.” A staff member led them away.
Everyone walked through the cobblestone path and realized that the previous building actually had a back door, which led to another courtyard.
There were seven rooms in the other courtyard. Xiao Yi, Li Zexuan, and Li Zexin chose the same room. Lin Wan and Li Yanchen shared a room. Xia M and Xiao Tianlin shared another room. Li Zekai went to share with Tutu, a:
the other families each had their own rooms..
