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

Chapter 599 The Hidden Shadow, Temporary Tacit Understanding
At 7:30 p.m. sharp, the party started on time, and the lively opening song and dance immediately filled the entire venue.

Just as the live broadcast camera and the audience's attention were focused on the stage, a somewhat furtive figure appeared in the VIP seating area, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

Li Chengxiao, who was watching the show intently, suddenly turned his head and looked to his left, where he met a pair of bright eyes.

Seeing that her cheap owner had noticed her, Jiang Hanying quickly raised her hand and waved. Then she ran over and sat down on the spacious sofa without any hesitation.

"Why are you here?"

"Come watch the show! I can only watch from backstage in the live stream. Anyway, it's still a long time before I go on stage, and I can't stand it anymore. Besides, there's a really good dance performance later. The lead dancer is a little girl I met during rehearsals!"

Hearing voices coming from the side, Li Fulin shifted his gaze from the stage to his nephew sitting next to him, and saw a little girl wearing a semi-transparent veil on his other side.

Upon closer inspection under the dazzling lights of the venue, it turned out to be none other than his future nephew's wife!
"Han Ying is here!"

Jiang Hanying bypassed her cheap owner, raised her little paw and waved, "Good evening, Uncle."

The young man in the front row, who vaguely heard what sounded like a woman's voice behind him, thought: "..."

I really want to turn around and take a look!

Unfortunately, I don't dare!

Guan Shan had only taken a short break to handle some work, and when he returned to the lounge, he asked, "Where is Jiang Hanying?"

Pei Yuan and Yue Zhuo were watching the live broadcast of the gala on their tablets. Just as one program ended and the next program had started, the camera switched to the audience seats. When the camera panned across a figure whose face was not visible, she quickly reached out and tapped, "They went to the audience seats to watch the show."

Guan Shan glanced at the figure in the live stream who had paused for two seconds, and couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead.

I felt a mix of helplessness and relief.

Fortunately, he still knew to cover his face!

[Screenshot][Screenshot]

[It's the master and the young master!]

I just got a screenshot too!

[It's only the second row of the VIP section, not the first row!]

[The people in the first row seem to be the sponsors of this New Year's Eve gala.]

That explains it.

[I think I know the young master!]

[Isn't that Instructor Li? Instructor Li from the second episode of "Absolute Experience"!]

[So, this young master is Instructor Li's other identity?]

When I first watched the variety show, I felt that this person's identity must be quite extraordinary.

You're such a Monday morning quarterback!

[That girl next to Instructor Li, leaning on his shoulder and covering her face with her hand... could that be Jiang Hanying?]

[Did a guest performer sneak into the audience to watch the show? Aren't the organizers doing anything about it?]

[Ahem, since your face is covered, let's just pretend we didn't see it.]

Haha, I didn't see anything either!

Pei Yuan glanced at the rapidly scrolling comment section and pursed her lips: "This generation of viewers is quite understanding!"

Jiang Niannian and her group's drum dance was scheduled in the middle of the entire program.

After a barrage of similar song performances, this unique drum dance was a refreshing surprise for the audience who were getting tired of watching the show.

[The lead dancer's movements are so graceful!]

[As expected, spinning is a basic skill for dancers.]

[She's very good-looking, and the styling is a big plus!]

[The water sleeves were flicked at my face!]

[I need all the information about this main dancer in ten seconds!]

[You're dreaming!]

...Jiang Hanying watched Jiang Niannian and her backup dancers' performance intently, even taking several photos and videos with her phone during the show. Only when the host came on stage to announce the program did she turn her attention back to her cheap master and whisper, "How was it? Pretty, right?"

Li Chengxiao nodded. "Your skills are quite good."

Jiang Hanying stayed until almost 11 p.m., near the end of the gala, when she received a reminder from Guan Shan that she was about to go on stage. She then got up and reminded him, "It's almost my turn. I need to go backstage to prepare. Watch carefully later."

Li Chengxiao watched her run off and disappear from sight.

The young man glanced over out of the corner of his eye and only saw a fleeting figure leap out of his sight.

I went backstage to touch up my makeup quickly, and as soon as I stood in the waiting area, the overhead lights shone down on me.

The timing was just right.

Guan Shan, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His heart had really been tormented by Jiang Hanying!

In the blink of an eye, the stage backdrop changed to a gradually evolving ink painting style, with white cranes and ferry boats amidst a serene bamboo forest.

As a drop of water fell on the stone, the music, after being refined, became even more magnificent and grand.

[It wasn't a solo performance, it was a sword dance!]

[I've never heard this melody before.]

Whether you've heard it before or not, as long as it sounds good, that's all that matters.

[The guqin, the xun, the drum, and the incorporation of natural sounds into the music—I think I know who the composer is.]

The program introduction was displayed in the lower left corner of the live stream screen.

[The composer is indeed Jiang Shanshan!]

Wow, the choreographer is Jiang Hanying herself!

[When did Shadow become so talented?]

[His shadow is well-hidden!]

[They're out! They're out!]

As the lone boat's phantom image, drifting across the sky, magnifies on the stage, the person standing on it is finally revealed in full.

Li Fulin hadn't forgotten his wife's instructions, and he had already prepared his phone. As soon as the person appeared on stage, he deftly pressed the record button.

Everyone in the audience and those watching the live stream immediately turned their attention to the single bright spot standing in the ink-wash bamboo forest.

She wore a plain-colored robe that seemed to have the Milky Way spilling out, with a light blue gauze draped over it that fluttered gently in the breeze through the bamboo forest.

Her face was as beautiful as jade, her eyes as bright as the moon, and the cinnabar dot between her brows perfectly complemented the crimson ribbon binding her hair, making her almost captivating.

A bare hand holds a sword, autumn waters reflect frost.

The scrolling barrage of comments had stopped at some point.

"Zheng!"

As the heavy drumbeat subsided, the longsword was drawn by another hand, its frosty white color instantly dazzling everyone's eyes.

Jiang Hanying originally intended to throw the sword sheath that she wouldn't need later into a corner, but after glancing at the stage, which was no longer clean after several hours of use overnight, she hesitated for a moment and then suddenly looked in a certain direction from the audience.

He then threw the scabbard violently, sending it flying towards the audience.

The cameraman thought this was a special segment designed by the guests, and immediately moved the camera to chase the afterimage of the sword sheath.

Just as it was about to hit someone, a slender hand suddenly reached out and steadily caught the flying sword sheath.

Li Fulin, who was sitting to the side, saw his nephew suddenly have a sword sheath in his hand in the blink of an eye: "..."

My future niece-in-law truly trusts her nephew!

The young man who had just felt the sword sheath fly past his head: "..."

The design is good, but please don't design it again next time!
Viewers in the live stream: "..."

Did you plan this in advance? Otherwise, how could you throw it so accurately and catch it so quickly?

Only Guan Shan was absolutely certain that this interaction was added by Jiang Hanying herself on the spot.

He knew this guy wouldn't just sit through the whole show!
