Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 246 Mission Result!

Chapter 246: Chapter 246 Mission Result!

Xiaowen continued to announce, "In fourth place, Lin Qianqian and Fang Xiaoyu mother and daughter, 4 points!"

Upon hearing this result, Lin Qianqian’s smile froze on her face.

Clearly, she was very dissatisfied with this outcome; she had been aiming for first place and hadn’t expected to end up second to last at all.

Shen Yibo sidled up to Fang Xiaoyu with a goofy grin, "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, you’re so awesome! You got two more points than me!"

"Hee hee, because I had the pretty sisters and handsome brothers voting for me, I asked them yesterday!"

[Ahhh, I voted for Xiao Yu yesterday, how come she’s still in fourth place!]

[Kids don’t seem to be very sensitive about their rankings in this task. That must be the innocence of youth.]

[Actually, Lin Qianqian and Fang Xiaoyu are quite popular, but the other three pairs are even more popular.]

Xiaowen continued, "In third place, Xu Wanjia and Yang Yike mother and daughter, 6 points."

This result was within Xu Wanjia’s expectations.

She hadn’t envisioned getting a better ranking, nor did she think they would come in last, especially since Xiao Yiyi was so adorable. Ever since appearing on the variety show, she felt that more people liked Xiao Yiyi than liked her.

She was very happy with third place.

Xiaowen: "In second place, An Xi and Gu Xiaoran mother and son, 8 points. Therefore, unquestionably, in first place are our Ye Zhenzhen and Song Yuchen mother and son, 10 points, and an additional 500 yuan in prize money."

When this result was announced, Han Jiangxue and Lin Qianqian’s smiles stiffened slightly.

Lin Qianqian felt that even if she couldn’t win first place, she should at least have been able to secure second place. Compared to An Xi and Gu Xiaoran, she and Xiao Yu were definitely at an advantage.

Han Jiangxue was simply unhappy; hadn’t everyone been criticizing Ye Zhenzhen just last night? How come suddenly she was the one in last place while Ye Zhenzhen was in first?

If things continued this way, she would end up with the least funding again, and Ye Zhenzhen would end up with the most...

[Not bad at all, my Zhenzhen got first place, how wonderful!]

[Ye Zhenzhen’s name was all over the trending searches last night, it’s normal for her to get first place, given her high popularity!]

[An Xi and her son deserve second place, they acted so convincingly!]

[Indeed, they were very convincing, especially last night—Gu Xiaoran’s expression was hilarious!]

It wasn’t just that An Xi and Gu Xiaoran were convincing during the day yesterday, but after the phone tasks ended in the evening, An Xi continued to fuss in bed. She was tossing and turning, claiming she couldn’t sleep and asking Gu Xiaoran to tell her a story.

Considering his task from the show crew, Gu Xiaoran patiently told An Xi stories, only for An Xi to complain that one story was boring or another story was told wrong, followed by more fussing.

In the end, Gu Xiaoran was so exasperated that he was nearly in tears.

After all the commotion, An Xi figured she had worn Gu Xiaoran down enough and pretended to fall asleep. Once Gu Xiaoran saw that An Xi was asleep, he turned off the lights and went to bed.

After Gu Xiaoran fell asleep, An Xi got up, tucked him in properly, and then went to sleep herself.

An Xi did all this not to get votes from netizens or to achieve a good ranking, but simply to make Gu Xiaoran realize that the attitude he had shown her before was wrong.

Getting second place today was a coincidental success.

And the reason Ye Zhenzhen was able to get first place was not only due to her and Song Yuchen’s extremely high popularity online but also due to Director Fei and Xiaowen’s favoritism.

Right from the start when the rules were established, Director Fei had considered that Ye Zhenzhen and her son would either be first or second. Regardless of the online voting results, he was going to firmly support Ye Zhenzhen and ensure they didn’t receive a low score.

For Ye Zhenzhen herself, the result actually didn’t matter much; she’d always thought that participation was what counted, and as long as Xiao Chen was happy, that was all that mattered to her.

After Xiao Wen had announced the results from yesterday, she moved on to announce the task for today:

"Hello to all the moms and kiddos, as everyone can see, it has snowed quite heavily here today. So, we won’t be cooking; the program team will provide all three meals. Your task for today will be to play games."

Xiao Wen had only gotten halfway through announcing the task when the children immediately began to cheer, "That’s great!"

For the children, not having chores and getting to play instead naturally made them incredibly happy.

Seeing the kids’ enthusiasm at the mention of games, Xiao Wen asked, "Little ones, what kind of game would you like to play?"

[I guess, could it be making snowmen?]

[With such heavy snow, it must be about making snowmen, to see who can make the best one!]

[Making snowmen seems too simple, doesn’t it? I don’t think that’s it.]

[It’s all moms and kids; the program team won’t come up with any games that are too difficult.]

[Making snowmen! Making snowmen! I want to see them make snowmen!]

Fang Xiaoyu: "Making snowmen!"

Yang Yike raised her hand, "Aunt Xiaowen, I want to make a snowman too!"

Song Yuchen said excitedly, "Skiing!"

Ye Zhenzhen had spoken to her father last night about going skiing together, so that was all he was thinking about now.

Shen Yibo: "I want to ski too, but I also want to have a snowball fight!"

"A snowball fight! I want to play a snowball fight game!" said Gu Xiaoran, who couldn’t hide his excitement about a snowball fight and nearly jumped up with joy.

He, just like An Xi, was seeing such heavy snow for the first time.

As for snowball fights, it was because he thought they looked fun when seeing them in cartoons.

Xiao Wen smiled and said, "Ranran, you little cutie, got it right. The game for this morning is a snowball fight!"

"Yay, yay, yay! It’s a snowball fight!" Gu Xiaoran and Shen Yibo exclaimed in unison.

Song Yuchen, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yiyi, these three kids, looked slightly disappointed, "It’s actually a snowball fight!"

The moms were also somewhat surprised by Xiao Wen’s mention of a snowball fight.

Actually, most people had thought the program team would suggest making snowmen.

Without allowing everyone much time to think, Xiao Wen began to announce the rules of the game: "The rules of the snowball fight are as follows, moms and kiddies will throw snowballs at others within a set period of time, hitting someone scores 1 point, while getting hit by a snowball results in losing 1 point.

Here, 1 point is worth 30 yuan of travel funds. The game starts at 9 in the morning and will end at noon. Now, I’ll take everyone to the designated area to have the snowball fight."

[Isn’t the program team just trying to cause trouble with these rules?]

[It feels like they’re definitely causing trouble, but I’m really looking forward to what’s going to happen, haha!]

[This kind of game is the fun one, what’s so fun about making snowmen? A snowy day is meant for snowball fights!]

[So, it’s going to be a battle, hahaha, I love it!]
