After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 552 How could this be? My voice is hoarse.

Noticing the hand around her waist tightening, Jiang Hanying stopped her unrestrained teasing.

As reason slowly returned, Li Chengxiao looked down and met a pair of bright, undisguised, triumphant eyes.

The hat that was originally on his head had slipped off at some point, and his hair was hanging down, occasionally brushing against the back of his hand that was holding the reins.

The itch spread instantly to the bone marrow.

He restrained himself and slowly straightened up, his hand still around her waist. Jiang Hanying was also pulled by him to sit up slowly from a half-reclining position.

The next second, the hat was put back on, covering the tangled strands of hair and concealing the boundless spring scenery that could be seen with just a glance down.

Li Chengxiao pulled the reins back, "Giddy up!"

This wind really can't be let out anymore.

Let him go crazy if you let him go any further!
As they rode back to where they had parked earlier, Jiang Hanying was still in a daze when she was pulled down from her horse by the waist. "Now that you've had your fresh air, I'll ride the rest of the way, and you can drive behind me."

Jiang Hanying reached out and took the car keys handed to her, then looked up at her cheap master who was sitting on horseback trying to maintain a serious demeanor. She smiled and replied, "Okay," before turning around and obediently opening the car door and getting in.

She just wanted to cool off in the breeze, so let her cool off. She's very understanding.

As the cold wind blew all the way down, Li Chengxiao couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief when he jumped off his horse.

Turning my head, I saw the car that had followed closely behind.

As the car came to a stop and the door opened, the person inside got out and walked straight over. Soon, a warm hand touched the back of his hand and the other side of his face.

"Good ice!"

Jiang Hanying exclaimed, "You were riding much faster than me just now! You must be freezing! You must take a hot bath later, or you'll catch a cold."

After saying that, she turned and ran towards the door leading to the front yard. "I'll go fill the bathtub with water first. Come over as soon as you've settled Big Black in!"

Li Chengxiao: Shouldn't you tone down the excitement in your voice?
After settling the big black horse down, he prepared hay and lightly salted water. Passing by the laundry room, he took out the clothes he had put in to wash and dry before leaving. Then he went to the backyard to check on Shitai and changed him into a new set of clothes instead of the previous blanket.

After finishing all that work, I headed towards the master bedroom.

I paused as I was about to push the door open and go in.

It was quiet inside, and it seemed like no one was there, but you never know who might be up to something.

I pushed open the door and glanced around the room. The blankets on the bed were still neatly made, but there was no sign of anyone in the sofa, dressing table, or walk-in closet.

Until I pushed open the door to the master bathroom!

Above the oval-shaped bathtub on the platform, hot water was still trickling down because the faucet was not turned off tightly.

He tightened the valve, and his gaze fell on the bathtub in front of him.

The water in the bathtub rippled rhythmically, causing the person lying at the bottom to sway gently with the waves. Long hair, like seaweed, fell into the water, swaying as if half-concealing something, and one could vaguely glimpse a bewitching figure in the water, eyes slightly closed, as if asleep.

Li Chengxiao glanced down at it only once before hurriedly looking away.

As soon as I turned my head, I heard the sound of bubbles bursting in the water. I turned back and, without thinking of anything else, reached into the water and scooped it up.

Jiang Hanying climbed up from the water, clinging to the arm that was reaching for her. As her mouth and nose surfaced, she coughed dramatically. When she opened her eyes, she saw that her shirt was already mostly soaked by the splashing water, clinging to her cheap owner's muscles.

Oh, and there's the Adam's apple, which still bears obvious marks from all the rubbing and biting she did.

Even though Li Chengxiao could tell that Jiang Hanying was faking it, he still didn't immediately move his hand away. "Did you fall asleep while soaking in the bath?"

Jiang Hanying blinked, a little guilty: "I originally just wanted to test the temperature for you first, and then I discovered that this bathtub also has a massage function, so I got out and tried it out. It's quite comfortable. Would you like to try it too?"

"I'll wait until you're done soaking..."

Before he could finish speaking, the arm he was being held tightened, and Jiang Hanying looked up, her face instantly transforming into a pitiful expression, her eyes glistening with tears. She blinked gently and asked, "Master, don't you want Hanying anymore?" This expression combined with the devastating question was no less effective than killing Li Chengxiao.

No, I don't.

Jiang Hanying tried hard to suppress the urge to smirk, and loosened her grip on her hand. "Then Master, come and save me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slid back into the water.

Subtext: She's drowning, hurry up and jump in to save her!

Li Chengxiao: He now strongly suspects that a certain sword may have secretly used its spiritual sense to read some popular stories while he was meditating.

Otherwise, how could he be so skilled!

When I woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight, as expected.

Jiang Hanying looked up when she heard the door being pushed open, and raised an eyebrow when she saw the apron on the cheap owner's body.

"You went to cook?"

As soon as she spoke, she quickly pinched her throat.

It sounds a bit hoarse.

Li Chengxiao nodded, walked to the wardrobe, took out a coat, and handed it to him. "The food is ready. Put on this coat and come out to eat."

Jiang Hanying immediately got up, put on her coat, and obediently followed.

What kind of food do you cook?

"I was a bit rushed today, and I overslept too." As for why they both overslept, they both knew the reason. "I just steamed some xiaolongbao and huajuan that Miss Lin packed yesterday, and stir-fried two dishes." Li Chengxiao said as he placed the food on the table one by one. "You eat first."

Seeing that he hadn't sat down after finishing his work, Jiang Hanying turned around and opened the refrigerator door again, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Li Chengxiao took a pear out of the refrigerator, turned on the tap to wash it, and said, "I'll make some pear soup to soothe my throat."

Jiang Hanying waved her hand dismissively: "Cough cough, it's nothing serious, just overused my voice. I'll just talk less and drink more water today. Don't bother, take off your apron and eat with me!"

"soon!"

Jiang Hanying watched as he quickly prepared the pear, added a few throat-soothing ingredients, and promptly started steaming it. "Could you add an extra piece of rock sugar?"

Li Chengxiao's hand trembled, and he added another piece.

This earned him a satisfied nod.

After her host took her seat, Jiang Hanying looked at the two steaming dishes in front of her.

A dish of shrimp and yam, and a dish of wild celery and lily bulbs, look very refreshing and are perfect for breakfast.

This is especially suitable for her, who just had a big meal last night!

The key point is that this dish looks almost identical to the one Shuangshuang makes.

"Did you make this using the recipe Shuangshuang gave you? Did you fail several times before?"

"Yes, it didn't fail."

As Jiang Hanying bit into the bouncy and tender shrimp, she once again experienced the difference between a top student and a poor student.

Even if she's a top student, she still has to get up early to cook for her.

Akimbo!
