“The winning team will pack their belongings and travel to the sea with our staff for a seafood feast. At eight o’clock, we’ll return to the village. The parents of the losing team will be responsible for taking care of all the children and will eat dinner at home.” The Director smiled.

“Director, what would that mean? Will I, Old Xiao, Xiao Yi, Li Yanchen, and Lin Wan go to the sea but Jiejie and Xuanxuan will remain here?” Xia MO asked.

“Well, to be exact, Xiao Tianlin, you, Li Yanchen, and Lin Wan will go on the trip to enjoy the fruits of victory. Xiao Yi will remain here because he is your child, after all. We have found that when parents go on a trip with their children, they can’t relax because they always focus on their children more. Hence, the children will remain here, and the parents can enjoy yourselves for half a day without having to worry about your children.”

Li Zexuan put his arm around Xiao Yi’s shoulder. “You’ve worked hard. However, the end result is the same as mine.”

“Are you gloating? What’s there at the sea anyway? I don’t even want to go.” Xiao Yi wasn’t interested in a seafood feast. His university was located in a coastal city, and he always used to go with his roommates to have seafood.

In his opinion, this wasn’t a reward at all.

[What reward? Driving by the sea? I, who live by the sea, think this is a punishment.]

[The main point isn’t the seafaring. The Festival Group intends to free the parents for half a day so that they can relax while the losing team looks after the children.]

[May I ask why the Wind God is being deprived of the reward? He is an adult studying at a university. He doesn’t need his parents to take care of him. Xiaxia and Magician Xiao spend their time together every day.]

[Mr. Li and Lin Wan don’t need it either. The little ones are all in hostels.]

[The Festival Group isn’t trying to create a diversion again, right?]

[Things can’t be that simple.]

[Who cares? As long as they broadcast it, that’s all that matters. We still want to watch the live broadcast, even if they are on a trip.]

[Agreed.]

Yun city didn’t have a sea, and his father had never taken him to the beach to play. But, during the summer break, Assistant Qin had taken him on a trip, so Li Zekai didn’t look forward to the sea that much, but he hoped that his father could accompany him to see the sea.

The boy laughed for two minutes before becoming sad again.

Jian Jia, who had cried because his father had lost, was relieved. “Daddy.” He turned to Luo Xi. “I don’t have to be separated from you. It’s a good thing you

lost.”

“Jiejie, come to my house.” Offered Jian Jia. “My father will take you in.” “Daddy.” He turned to Luo Xi again. “Can you take care of Jiejie?”

Luo Xi looked at Li Yanchen questioningly. He looked indifferent as always, so Luo Xi assumed he had no problem with it. He smiled and nodded. “Sure. Jiejie can come over. Xuanxuan and Xiao Yi can come too. I will make you a good meal tonight.”

Li Zekai first went to inform Li Yanchen about it and pulled his brother along with him. “Big brother, Let’s go to Jian Jia’s house. There are so many things at Jian Jia’s house to play with.”

Li Zexuan narrowed his eyes. “Actually, Xiao Yi can cook. We already decided to cook and eat at his house.”

“Big brother, Please…” Li Zekai shook his brother’s hand.

“Xiao Yi, let’s go,” said Li Zexuan. “Mr. Li. Ms. Lin. Please have a good time.” After that, Li Zexuan followed Xiao Yi to his house, their arms around each other’s shoulders.

“Jian Jia, don’t mind him. My brother is all grown up now. We are only little kids. He doesn’t enjoy playing with kids anymore,” said Li Zekai. “But I will come to your house. Let’s go.” Li Zekai was unaware that Li Zexuan had a problem with Luo Xi.

And, just like that, the five families dispersed.

Seeing that Li Zexuan and Xiao Yi were getting closer, Li Zexin’s fans got anxious.

[Xuanxuan belongs to everyone. But Xiao Yi is only for Xinxin.] [Wind God, have you forgotten so fast about our Xinxin?]

[This is theft.]

[Isn’t this too much?]

[Don’t spout nonsense. He’s just a good friend. Even after Xinxin returns, he will be Xiao Yi’s favorite once again.]

At Yun city, in the Lin family’s old mansion, Auntie Han opened the app that Lin Wan had downloaded for her and started watching the live stream.

Ever since Lin Wan visited, she had been seeing strange images in her mind these past few days. She didn’t have any children of her own, but she always felt like many children called her “mother”. She wondered if it was because Lin Wan always called her “Director’s mother”.

After watching the live stream for an entire day, she felt that Lin Wan had completely changed.

There was also Jian Jia, the child from the orphanage. When she heard the staff mention the little child’s background, her eyes teared up. When she saw the child, her heart ached for him for no reason.

At the basketball game in the afternoon, Auntie had cried when she saw little Jian Jia cry. The little boy’s cry was so pitiful. He wasn’t like the other children.

Auntie Han was scared and confused. She wanted to visit Elder Lin’s grave.

At Lan Village, Lin Wan and his wife, as well as Xia MO and her husband, went home to change their clothes. They boarded the festival bus and drove to the nearest beach.

The two staff members first expressed their admiration for the Sweet Little Circle channel before explaining the specific arrangements.

The Festival Group had arranged other surprises on the beach for them. The four people had many questions to ask.

“Are you sure it’s not a trick?” Xiao Tianlin had fought in two competitions in a single day, and his legs were already weak. The Festival Group had said that the winner would go on a trip for a seafood feast. He had wanted to reject the offer, but when he saw that the others had no objection, he gave in. After the game, he just wanted to go home and rest.

Xia MO agreed with her husband. The mission rewards were getting weirder and weirder. Previously, the families had shot the advertisement and then watched the sunrise at the Lanshan Sungazing Homestay. They were all quite normal. But, recently, everything was getting stranger.

“This is definitely a surprise. You will all like it.” The staff wanted to reassure them. If the Director hadn’t told them not to reveal any information on the way, they would have told the couples directly.

“Why don’t you tell us what the surprise is? That way we can decide if we still want to go. I am afraid my heart can’t take any more surprises,” said Xia MO in suspicion.

“Teacher Xia, you’ll know when we get there. Do you like to eat seafood?” the staff member asked with a troubled expression. “The seafood is super delicious, you can also pack it up and bring it back to the village if you want.”

“Really? I was told it was just a trip to the beach with a seafood feast, but we can pack takeaways?” Xia MO asked.

“I suspect it’s to take care of us, knowing that we don’t know how to cook,” Lin Wan said calmly.

“Teachers, stop guessing too much. We’re almost there.” The staff rolled up the window. The four of them thought that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.

In the parking lot not far from Wei Hai, the chauffeur stopped the car. The staff told Li Yanchen and others to wait in the car for a while.

The staff got out of the car and checked the beach to see if the area was cleared.

The four of them waited in the car patiently until, ten minutes later, the staff appeared again.

“You can all come out now,” said the staff, holding the car door open for them.

“We’ll take you to a good place.”

There were two tents next to each other at the beach. The staff led them there.

“Teacher Xia, Magician Xiao, please come with me.”

“Mr. Li, Teacher Lin, please come with me.”

The two families were separated. The four of them looked at each other.

“Please don’t tell me there is another competition, and they are dividing us into two groups! Please spare us.” Xiao Tianlin refused to move from the spot..
