I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law

72 The Key Was Still Li Xiwu!

There was no first love. Not a substitute. The person in his eyes and heart had always been her, Li Xiwu. He only loved her.

Thinking of this, Li Xiwu suddenly woke up. How could she have such thoughts! It was ridiculous and unrealistic! Pei Jingzhou had only done something for her casually. How could she have so many unrealistic fantasies? Moreover, what Pei Jingzhou had said on camera last night, his past with his first love, and the touching sweetness were just a story to her.

After quickly calming down, Li Xiwu’s expression was natural. “Fourth Brother, I’ll go down first.”

Pei Jingzhou did not respond. Li Xiwu rushed downstairs. She didn’t put on any makeup. She only washed her face, brushed her teeth, and tied her hair up. She didn’t even apply any skincare products. When she worked out, her body would dissipate the heat. When the time came, she would be covered in sweat and need to take a shower. After taking a shower, she would apply skincare and makeup.

She walked in a hurry on the way down. She thought that she should be the last to arrive. Everyone was probably waiting for her. Unexpectedly, when she came down to take a look, there was only Xiang Lan and her daughter-in-law, Xu Muzhen.

The camera’s back was facing the cameraman and the director. Currently, the live broadcast page is filled with advertisements. It started at five o’clock. There were only ten minutes left until five-thirty.

Xiang Lan saw Li Xiwu coming downstairs and greeted her, “Xiwu, you’re up.”

Xu Muzhen, who was stretching her legs and feeling sleepy, suddenly opened her eyes when she heard her mother-in-law’s voice. She looked up and saw that it was Li Xiwu. Xu Muzhen immediately perked up. “Sister Li, you’re up. Aiyo, I’m so sleepy.”

Li Xiwu walked over. “Where are the others?”

Xu Muzhen smiled bitterly. “They’re not down yet. It’s really too early to get up.”

Xiang Lan was warming up and said considerately, “It’s very difficult to get up early after autumn. I’m very weak and sleepy. Five-thirty is indeed too early, but for people who work out, five-thirty to six or seven is just right.”

Xu Muzhen changed her leg and stretched it. “Yes, but seriously, getting up early to exercise will make you very energetic all day.”

That’s the beauty of working out.

Li Xiwu looked at the time on her wristwatch. The live broadcast was almost starting, and Han Qianye was not down yet.

A few more minutes passed. Xie Wen also came downstairs. Zheng Yuehua followed behind Xie Wen and could not even open her eyes.

Tao Jing went downstairs with exquisite makeup. She said, “My mother is washing up. She’ll be down soon.”

Li Xiwu returned upstairs and went to Han Qianye’s door. She raised her hand and knocked on Han Qianye’s door gently. There was no movement inside.

Li Xiwu knocked some more. Only then did a groggy voice come from inside. “Who is it?”

Li Xiwu said, “It’s me.”

Han Qianye asked, “Who?”

Li Xiwu said, “Li Xiwu.”

It went quiet inside. It was a moment before Li Xiwu heard the scuff of slippers. The footsteps approached until the door opened. Li Xiwu looked up at Han Qianye, who opened the door with her messy curly hair. This was the first time she had seen Han Qianye like this. They looked at each other for a moment. Neither of them spoke first.

A moment later, Li Xiwu spoke first. “Today’s morning exercise live broadcast is about to begin.”

Han Qianye grabbed a different point. “Why aren’t you calling me Mom?”

Li Xiwu did not respond and only looked at Han Qianye quietly. Another ten seconds of silence passed. This time, it was Han Qianye who spoke first. “I don’t want to participate.”

Li Xiwu said directly, “You must.”

Han Qianye: “…”

She thought that Li Xiwu would ignore her if she said she didn’t want to go, but she was immediately rejected.

Han Qianye compromised, but she made a condition. “Tell me, how are you feeling today? Tell me the truth. After hearing the truth, I’ll go down.”

Li Xiwu thought that the conditions Han Qianye wanted to talk about were a little difficult. She was prepared to deal with all changes without changing. Unexpectedly, Han Qianye just wanted to know how she was feeling today.

Li Xiwu took a deep breath and said steadily, “I’m alright.”

Han Qianye said, “Although it’s only two words, I’ll reluctantly believe it.”

Li Xiwu suppressed a smile.

Time was too tight, so Han Qianye knew what to do. She washed her face and brushed her teeth before following Li Xiwu downstairs. She didn’t have makeup on, but her skin was so good that it was soft. It was all thanks to self-care with all kinds of medical beauty. Even without makeup, she looked beautiful.

When she arrived downstairs, the live broadcast had just begun. The mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws stood according to the positions Xiang Lan had arranged.

There was nothing special about the music of the fitness exercise. It was just the music of ordinary fitness exercises. Xiang Lan had already warmed up before the official broadcast. Currently, she is teaching everyone how to warm up and follow the rhythm of her counting.

[It’s broadcasting!]

[I didn’t even get up so early when I took the college entrance examination back then!]

[At this moment, Zheng Yuehua’s state is my state. She’s yawning heavily on the screen while I’m yawning heavily outside the screen.]

[Just watch. It’s impossible for me to get up and do it with you.]

[I was naive. The previous episode, Xiang Lan’s morning exercise was arranged by the show. So the real morning exercise was at five-thirty.]

[Tao Jing is so beautiful. She’s also beautiful when she does exercises.]

[Sister Li is the real beauty. The key is that she doesn’t have any makeup on. I always felt that Sister Li’s appearance was too cold during the day. Now that I look at her, I realize that Sister Li’s face is so tender.]

[And Xie Wen is also bare-faced. Xie Wen is also very good without makeup, but she’s a little haggard and has heavy bags under her eyes.]

It had been warm-up for half an hour before the official broadcast. After the live broadcast, there were only a few hundred thousand people flooding into the live-stream at this time.

Many night owls might have just fallen asleep at this time. Even if they were not night owls, they would be sleeping soundly. If they slept for another hour, they would wake up to eat breakfast and prepare for work.

Xiang Lan taught everyone to do morning exercises seriously, step by step.

Everyone was also learning seriously. However, after learning it, not only did everyone not become more and more energetic, but they also became more and more sleepy. Not to mention Zheng Yuehua, Min Hanrong and Han Qianye also yawned heavily. Needless to say, Xu Muzhen was either slacking off or on the way to slacking off.

The director behind said to Director Gao, who was also yawning beside him, “The popularity is not good.”

Director Gao yawned and wiped his tears from the yawn. “Five-thirty! It would be strange if it was popular!”

The director said, “A mistake. I thought there would be a lot of people watching even at five-thirty.”

Director Gao couldn’t help but yawn again. “Didn’t you suggest live-streaming morning exercise last night? Hurry up and think of a way.”

The director looked at the group of guests who were seriously doing exercises in the line and could not help but look at Li Xiwu. His mind suddenly lit up. “Why don’t you consult Miss Li?”
