65 For The First Time She Felt as Though She Had a Real Family
Li Zekai carefully put the clothes into the bag and prepared to go to the orchard.
Knowing that the camera in the Li family’s courtyard had been taken away, the staff thought that Li Zexin was up to no good again and immediately called the Director. Before the Director could stop the boy, he saw the orchard from backstage. There were two people there. When he saw that they were Lin Wan and Li Yanchen, the Director understood what the child planned. .
Lin Wan’s face was covered by the hat she was wearing. She had no idea what was happening.
Ten meters away from Li Yanchen, Li Zexin put down the camera. The camera tilted slightly to another direction as he ran towards his father and Lin Wan.
“Dad, I’ve set up the camera,” Li Zexin squatted on the ground and said to his father, who was resting with his eyes closed.
Li Yanchen sat up immediately.”What?”
“Don’t worry, the camera isn’t pointing at you right now. Hey, Ms. Lin, get up and walk two rounds.” Seeing that Lin Wan ignored him and didn’t move, he picked up a leaf and rubbed it against her hand.
Lin Wan was tired but not yet asleep. She took off the hat that covered her face. “What are you all doing here? There is no space at home?”
“I’ve brought the camera over. Do you and father want to sing a love song together?” At this moment, Li Zexin was like an adult coaxing Lin Wan like a child.
Lin Wan met Li Zexin’s eyes. He wasn’t mocking her. Instead, his gaze was kind.
“Alright.” Without waiting for Lin Wan’s reply, Li Yanchen hurriedly agreed.
Lin Wan was speechless.
“Ms. Lin. I brought your beautiful dress with me, too. And a bedsheet as well. Brother!” Li Zexin called Li Zekai. “Help Auntie dress up.”
Li Yanchen was at a loss for words, so was Lin Wan.
Before the two could figure out what was going on, Li Zexuan and Song Jing walked toward them from afar.
“What clothes? I’ll do the makeup according to the clothes.” Song Jing placed the makeup kit on the floor.
“What are you guys doing?” Lin Wan asked, surprised.
“Auntie, I’ve seen photos of you winning awards for singing. I know you are very talented.” Li Zekai sat beside Lin Wan. When he first joined the show, he enjoyed watching Lin Wan make a fool of herself, but this time he wanted to help her.
“I’ve brought everything here for you. Father, can you do us a favor? Let’s raise the bedsheet and make it into a makeshift dressing room. Ms. Lin, you can then change into a dress.” Li Zekai actively made the arrangements. He had never been so driven and worried about anything in his life before.
Li Yanchen finally understood that his three sons had moved their livestream to the orchard for Lin Wan so that she could show off her talents. He was confused because he had thought his sons disliked Lin Wan.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up! Auntie Song still needs to put on makeup on you.” Li Zexuan grabbed the corner of the bed sheet and wrapped it around the fruit tree Lin Wan was leaning against.
Lin Wan realized that they really wanted her to take part in the talent show.
“Auntie, I didn’t rummage through your luggage. I found this dress on the hanger. I think it looks very good. You can change into it.” Li Zekai looked at Lin Wan with anticipation.
Lin Wan wanted to berate them about who had accepted the mission on her behalf but when met their expectant gazes, she accepted the dress that Li Zekai handed out to her. She had been here for a week, and this was the first time she felt as though she had a real family. If she rejected them now, everything would fall apart.
However, Lin Wan was confused. Why did the three children want her to perform at the talent show so badly? Didn’t they enjoy seeing her being humiliated?
Song Jing was busy preparing the brush for the makeup when she heard the conversation between the three children of the Li family. The jealousy in her heart became stronger. A few days ago, their relationship had appeared so tense. Yet today, this family got along lovingly.
Li Yanchen nodded at Lin Wan, as though to say, “Good luck! I support you too.”
In the makeshift fitting room that they had set up, Lin Wan changed into a yellow dress. She had randomly taken this dress from the original owner’s wardrobe before she had come to the show. She had not even looked at it carefully. It wasn’t until she changed into it that she realized that it barely covered her thighs. She tried to pull the dress down, but the hem ended at her thighs.
When Lin Wan came out, everyone was stunned. The yellow dress looked good on her. The shoulder straps accentuated her thin shoulder blades and highlighted her fair skin. Her hair was like a waterfall falling down her shoulders.
Li Yanchen seemed to have forgotten how to breathe. Lin Wan’s eyes looked as though they were smiling while she didn’t smile at all. His heart thumped in his chest.
Lin Wan rarely wore dresses in high school. Song Jing’s makeup brush fell to the ground as she was so shocked seeing her like this.
“Auntie, you look like Snow White.” Li Zekai was the first to praise her.
If Lin Wan wasn’t their stepmother, she would be very likable. Everyone would want to be her friend. Li Zexuan felt that she was very beautiful. Hell, he would have wanted to be her friend too.
[Director, can you adjust the camera position? I can’t see them.]
[What are you guys doing in the orchard? I’m so anxious, if you don’t let me see it, I’m going to exit.]
[I just saw Song Jing flash in front of the camera with a makeup box in her hands.]
[Xuanxuan and the others are here too. Is there a live broadcast in the orchard?] Is Lin Wan going to show off how she can pick fresh fruits to make fruit tea?]
[I told you they are going to do something big.]
[Please, I beg you. Quickly adjust the camera position.]
[We can see them at three in the afternoon. I can endure it till then.]
[Is making fruit tea considered a talent? Isn’t that too stupid?]
[It’s good enough that she can show off. Don’t expect too much from Lin Wan.]
[Doesn’t everyone think that the Xuanxuan family’s style isn’t quite right? Didn’t the three of them look down on Lin Wan? Why are they all looking out for her now?]
[Do you know what collective honor is? Xuanxuan is a public figure. What good does it do for him to have a bad family relationship?]
[I want to be fair. Lin Wan just married into the Li family. Facing three stepsons, she might be under a lot of pressure too. Give them some time to get used to one another. Everyone wants to make a good impression, even if it is Lin Wan]
[You’re right. Don’t talk bad about stepmothers. We, as biological mothers, still have to put so much effort in maintaining our relationship with our children. There is a first time for everything. Everyone makes mistakes in the process. Let’s grow up and try to have an open mind.]
[I’ve never dared to say it before but what’s wrong with compressed biscuits and sausages? When my mother wasn’t home, I was satisfied with instant noodles. When Lin Wan was criticized for it, I thought about it. Not everyone knows how to cook. Just because someone becomes a mother doesn’t mean it’s only her responsibility to cook and feed the children. We are all human beings. I don’t know how to cook, either. Dry food isn’t that bad when you are too busy to cook or don’t know how to.]
Comments sympathizing with Lin Wan slowly speared on the bullet screen.
Li Zexin kicked his father’s foot. “Mr. Li, breathe and close your mouth.”
Li Yanchen awkwardly came back to his senses. “You should wear more dresses. You look good in them.”
Song Jing picked up the makeup brush from the ground. “Come, sit here. I promise I’ll paint you beautifully.”
