I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 165 - 159 I Want Sister Xixi to Be My Guardian and Win Prizes for Me!

Chapter 165: Chapter 159 I Want Sister Xixi to Be My Guardian and Win Prizes for Me!

Li Youjia quickly blended in with the other parents, leaving only Chen Xixi, whom no parents cared to interact with.

It was obvious to anyone with eyes that Chen Xixi was simply not part of their circle.

As Li Youjia chatted with the other parents, she couldn’t help but glance over at Chen Xixi a few times, feeling an uncontrollable sense of pride. Being good-looking was futile in their social circles without the embellishment of material wealth.

Why would Xu Yichen give up on her, a dazzling diamond, for that rustic bumpkin?

With this thought, her sense of superiority surged, and the sense of crisis that had crept up was momentarily dispelled.

Just as a smug smile was about to form on her lips, her skirt got tugged several times with force. She looked down and saw Congcong, the little brat, tugging at the hand-embroidered flowers on her dress.

Li Youjia’s face darkened instantly as she quickly pried Congcong’s little paws off her skirt, "Let go of me! If you want to say something, then speak. Don’t pull on my skirt!"

The brat almost tore off the flowers on her dress!

Congcong released her and was completely indifferent to Li Youjia’s sour face. After all, Li Youjia always looked grumpy, except when she was with her uncle, which was something he had grown accustomed to.

Congcong hurriedly spoke, "Auntie, I just heard Qiqi call that pretty sister ’Sister Xixi’, and I heard Sister Xixi say she wants to help Qiqi win a prize. Auntie, we also have to win later, I want a prize too!"

Pretty sister? Sister Xixi?

Upon hearing Congcong’s reference, Li Youjia felt as if her freshly soothed heart was stabbed twice again.

At the same age, she was an aunt and Chen Xixi was a sister. How could she not feel aggrieved! And she couldn’t even get the brat to change his address. This was... so aggravating!

Li Youjia responded dismissively, "Got it!"

After the children’s performances on stage ended, Teacher Liu, who stood at the forefront, turned around, looked at all the parents and children, and began arranging the parent-child game segment, "Now, it’s our class’s turn to compete. I’ll select the best parent-child pair, that is, the winning team to represent our entire class against other classes and bring honor to our class!"

Congcong raised his hand and shouted, "Teacher Liu, will there be a prize if we win?"

Teacher Liu nodded, "Yes!"

Congcong immediately turned to Li Youjia, excitedly tugging on her skirt, "Auntie, Auntie! Did you hear that! There really is a prize! We have to win!"

"I know, I know! Now let go of my skirt, you’re about to tear it off!" Li Youjia really had a headache. Her future child definitely wouldn’t be as annoying as Congcong!

"Our class’s competition is the tortoise and the hare race!" Teacher Liu pointed towards a pile of mascot costumes, "All parents and children will divide into two teams; one team in rabbit costumes, the other in turtle costumes. The winning parent-child pair will not only receive a DIY sand painting kit but also represent our class in competitions for an even bigger prize provided by our school!"

"Wow!" All the children let out a gasp, filled with anticipation for the big prize mentioned by Teacher Liu.

"Mommy, we have to win, we must!"

Many children started pressuring their parents for these seemingly trivial toys, causing the parents to laugh helplessly and nod in agreement.

The highly competitive Congcong also gave Li Youjia an absolute command, "Auntie, we have to win!"

"Alright, I know!"

Teacher Liu announced, "Attention all parents and children! You must reach the finish line together to be considered winners!"

After understanding the rules, the parents began taking their children to change into the mascot costumes.

Li Youjia was reluctant to put on a mascot costume; the outfit was both ugly and hot. It was impractical over her dress, and it would make her sweaty, not to mention she was supposed to drop Congcong off home and had a date with Xu Yichen later, so she had to maintain her appearance.

And she was wearing high heels, which were impossible to run in.

Just as she was about to ask Xu Yichen to take Congcong to participate in the race, he suddenly received a phone call.

Before Li Youjia could speak, Xu Yichen took the lead and said, "It’s from our partners, probably about some issue with last night’s investment proposal. I need to find a quiet place to take this call."

"Eh, Yichen..."

Li Youjia’s voice was left trailing behind Xu Yichen.

Seeing Xu Yichen leaving, the corner of Li Youjia’s lips immediately drooped down.

Well, now it seemed she would really have to wear that ugly mascot costume and get into the fray herself.

The teams were assigned by Teacher Liu; it was random, and Chen Xixi got into the Rabbit team, while Li Youjia was assigned to the Turtle team.

Li Youjia looked at the green turtle costume in front of her, then glanced at the pink rabbit costume Chen Xixi was wearing...

What on earth is this? She hated green the most, not to mention the turtle shell, it looked utterly hideous!

She thought about switching teams, but she didn’t really want to be on the same team as Chen Xixi.

If only Xu Yichen could come back soon.

But she waited and waited, and still, there was no sign of Xu Yichen.

Beside her, Congcong had already crawled into the turtle shell. He looked up at Li Youjia, urging her dissatisfiedly, "Auntie! Hurry up and put on the turtle costume. The other parents have already dressed up, look at Sister Xixi, she’s all ready, they are going to win! Hurry up!"

"Alright, alright!" Having waited in vain for Xu Yichen, Li Youjia had no choice but to wear the turtle mascot costume.

On another side.

After Chen Xixi helped Lu Ziqi into his costume, she dressed herself up.

The pink rabbit mascot costume with two long ears and a cute little tail made the big and small wearer look adorable and full of charm.

[Chen Xixi is really cute in this rabbit mascot costume!]

[Qiqi is so cute, too! Those big shiny eyes really look like a baby rabbit!]

[They both look so obedient and adorable! They look just like real mother and son, what a pity that there’s no dad, alas!]

[Let me do it! I can be the dad!]

[I’ll do it, I’ll do it!]

Everyone changed into their mascot costumes and lined up at the starting line, Teacher Liu blew the whistle, and all the parents and children started to run.

A bunch of big pink rabbits, leading their little pink rabbits, and a bunch of big green turtles, leading their little green turtles, ran across the lawn, creating an instant picture filled with childish fun.

However, the style of one group was quite different.

You could see one big pink rabbit with a small pink rabbit on her back, "zooming" to the front, overtaking everyone to come in first!

Chen Xixi curved her lips into a smile, turned her head to look at Lu Ziqi on her back, and asked with a laugh, "Fast, isn’t it?"

Lu Ziqi’s short arms wrapped around her neck, eyes opened wide with admiration, "You’re so fast, even faster than my dad!"

Chen Xixi burst out laughing.

Teacher Liu said that parents and children had to reach the finish line together, but he didn’t say they must run hand in hand.

But the joy and sorrow of the world do not resonate with each other.

Li Youjia was walking leisurely in high heels, even slower than Congcong.

Congcong looked at Li Youjia disdainfully, pouted, and said disappointedly, "Why are you so clumsy? Look at Sister Xixi! I don’t want to be in a team with you anymore, I want to be with Sister Xixi. Let Sister Xixi be my parent and win the prize for me!"

Li Youjia’s face darkened: "You little brat, stop right there!"
