Hearing this, the three of them were finally satisfied and happily took the program crew's car to the sports meet.
In the camera crew, the director Zhong Yizhi was asking the cameramen who had just returned from Xiaoxuanxuan's and Xu Yiyi's homes.
"How are the two kids getting along at each other's homes?"
The cameraman who had been at Xu Yiyi's home curled his lips. Even as an outsider, he felt like giving Xiaoxuanxuan a good kick for his constant noise - making.
This kid was just too naughty!
The cameraman from Xiaoxuanxuan's home felt sorry for Xiaoxuanxuan's elder sister. In the past few episodes, she had always been a victim of gender - bias.
She was always ordered around by her parents to do things for Xiaoxuanxuan and was constantly oppressed. Although they had toned it down a bit during the program, it was still too much.
"Director, we'd better not invite Xiaoxuanxuan for the next episode. He's just too naughty."
"Right, director. I'm afraid I'll have to cut out most of the footage I shot at Xiaoxuanxuan's home. His parents are so gender - biased!"
"And all his relatives asked a lot of unpleasant questions. If we post that online, we'll be scolded."
Zhong Yizhi clapped his hands and sneered, "Why should we cut the video? This is exactly the effect I want!"
He had invited this guest himself, so he naturally knew what Xiaoxuanxuan was like.
That's why he deliberately swapped Xu Yiyi into Xiaoxuanxuan's home, just to give Xu Qingqing a hard time.
She had refused to withdraw the lawyer's letter when he asked her to. Well, then don't blame him for making things difficult for Xu Yiyi!
Since Zhong Yizhi had made his decision, the cameramen didn't dare to say much even if they had objections. They just laughed it off and left.
The venue for the sports meet had been set up. The first event was the pulley relay race.
When the six families arrived one after another, the staff provided them with pre - made parent - child outfits and pulley shoes.
The pulley shoes fit well for the other five families, but Xu Qingqing's shoes were five sizes too big!
This wasn't just a matter of carelessness; it was as if they hadn't even bothered to check Xu Qingqing's shoe size!
Xu Qingqing wore size 38 shoes, but the staff had given her size 43 ones. She could fit three fingers into the shoes after putting them on. She couldn't even walk properly.
She took off the shoes and went to the staff to ask for a replacement. "Excuse me, my pulley shoes are too big. Could you please give me a pair that fits?"
The staff was busy tying Xiaoxuanxuan's shoelaces and replied to Xu Qingqing in a perfunctory tone, "Sorry, we prepared the shoes according to the number of people. There are no extra shoes."
"Ah... okay."
Xu Qingqing was a bit speechless.
Although she thought the program crew's preparation work was really bad, she didn't say much. She just sighed and went back to the preparation room.
Seeing that Xu Qingqing couldn't get a pair of suitable shoes, Lu Chuanbai offered to go to the director or buy a new pair for her.
"You'll easily fall if you wear shoes that don't fit."
Xu Qingqing quickly stopped Lu Chuanbai and waved her hand, indicating that it was okay.
She put on the shoes and stuffed a lot of toilet paper in the empty space. "Let's just make do for now. Fortunately, I know how to skate, so I won't fall too badly."
Xu Qingqing playfully pulled Lu Chuanbai's arm, smiling warmly with understanding. "If I fall, you have to catch me."
Lu Chuanbai looked at Xu Qingqing with pity and pursed his lips without saying a word.
Xu Qingqing always thought more about others and less about herself.
He would never let Xu Yiyi participate in such a program again. Their family didn't lack food, clothing, or money. There was no need for them to suffer in such a program.
The program crew arranged a special roller - skating teacher to teach everyone how to skate.
Xu Qingqing had practiced roller - skating before, so her skills were quite proficient.
Xu Yiyi and Xu An'an had also joined a roller - skating club when they were in foreign countries, so their skating skills were passable.
Lu Chuanbai had received elite education since childhood, and roller - skating was a piece of cake for him.
He even showed off a figure - skating routine in front of Xu Qingqing. His movements were extremely smooth, and he could easily perform all kinds of cool and difficult moves.
Xu Qingqing tried to skate. Although the shoes were too big and it was a bit strenuous to skate slowly, and she had to grip the soles tightly with her feet, at least she could skate.
Among the other families, except for Xiaoxuanxuan's father, who was an athlete and had skated for a while, and Xiaoxuanxuan, who also knew how to skate, the others were not very proficient.
It seemed that Xu Yiyi's family was a sure - bet to win the championship.
When the race officially started, Lu Chuanbai was the first runner. He sprinted at full speed.
He left the other families far behind, creating good conditions for the next three runners.
The second runner was Xu Qingqing. She skated forward with all her might, but suddenly there was a click under her feet.
To Xu Qingqing's surprise, one of the wheels on her left shoe fell off.
Coupled with the fact that the shoes didn't fit well, Xu Qingqing lost control of her body and leaned to one side.
"Ah!"
Xu Qingqing let out a scream. Lu Chuanbai quickly skated over and caught her in his arms.
Lu Chuanbai became a cushion for Xu Qingqing, and the two rolled on the ground. Lu Chuanbai firmly protected Xu Qingqing's head with his hands and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Xu Qingqing shook her head. She got up from Lu Chuanbai's body in a daze and looked at the roller - skating shoe with the fallen wheel on her left foot.
She was so unlucky!
First, only her shoes didn't fit, and then one of the wheels on her shoes fell off!
If there was no trick behind this, Xu Qingqing would never believe it.
Xu Qingqing's gaze fell on Zhong Yizhi sitting behind the monitor. Her gaze was extremely sharp, filled with a chilling coldness.
Zhong Yizhi saw Xu Qingqing looking at him and quickly averted his eyes, lowering his head guiltily.
His self - exposing behavior made Xu Qingqing sure that it was him who did it.
Good for you, Zhong Yizhi. You must be holding a grudge against me for not withdrawing the lawyer's letter and taking the opportunity to get back at me.
He was just too much!
With the help of the staff, Zhong Yizhi and Lu Chuanbai got up from the ground. Xu Qingqing worriedly touched Lu Chuanbai's back. "Are you hurt?"
Lu Chuanbai shook his head. When the two of them returned to the track, the race was still going on, and the other families were already on their fourth runner.
Lu Chuanbai took over from Xu Qingqing as the second runner and passed the relay baton to Xu An'an.
Xu An'an skated forward with all her might and passed the baton to Xu Yiyi.
Lu Chuanbai and Xu An'an caught up in speed. Except for Xiaoxuanxuan's family, who was a little ahead of them, the other four families were left behind.
Xu Yiyi took the relay baton and sprinted towards the red ribbon at the finish line at full speed.
