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

Chapter 674 Crossing the Spirit Blood, Another Day of Receiving Red Envelopes

It wasn't until breakfast was almost finished that Li Jingmo rushed into the banquet hall with his obviously unkempt hair. "Dad, Mom, Shu Heng, Han Ying, good morning."

Tao Junman turned to look at her son, "You're finally up. Sit down and eat."

"Eh."

Li Jingmo grabbed a cup of freshly poured soy milk and gulped it down in one go. After putting the cup down, he began to explain, "Que Lu called me last night. That kid isn't idle even during the New Year holiday. He's still busy in the lab, saying he's made another new discovery. Once we started talking, we just couldn't stop."

He finished the remaining half cup and then looked hesitantly at his parents who were listening to him. "Mom and Dad, well, I might have to go back to Queshan earlier. I'm quite interested in the new discovery that Que Lu mentioned last night."

Tao Junman, holding the spoon she was about to put down, asked, "Are you leaving today too?"

"No, no, no," Li Jingmo hurriedly waved his hand, "I definitely have to visit my grandparents today, I'll leave tomorrow."

Besides, he hadn't even had a chance to tell Shuangshuang about it yet.

"That's more like it." Tao Junman put down her spoon and pointed at the spoon from a distance. "You two brats can go ahead and do whatever you want. Anyway, Hanying is here to keep me company."

After dinner, Li Chengxiao, under his aunt's instructions, obediently checked the contents of his bag again.

At eight o'clock sharp, Xiao Wu called on time, saying that he and his car were already waiting outside the old house.

"Uncle and Aunt, there's no need to see us off."

Tao Junman had no choice but to stop and patted Jiang Hanying's arm: "Hanying, why don't you go see Shu Heng off?"

Actually, she would have gone even if I hadn't told her.

The two walked out of the old house.

Xiao Wu took the bag from Li Chengxiao, greeted the two of them, and then returned to the driver's seat on his own initiative.

"Next time we come back to the old house, I'll definitely take you around the surrounding area."

Jiang Hanying immediately stood on tiptoe and blocked his mouth.

Li Chengxiao's shoulders stiffened, and he obediently lowered his head, raising his hand to pull the person into his arms.

Xiao Wu glanced at the rearview mirror casually from the driver's seat, then quickly looked away and rubbed his face.

Luckily, I managed to get into the car quickly!
As I swallowed, a strange coolness swept across my throat.

Li Chengxiao's brows furrowed suddenly, and he forced himself to look up, ignoring the silver strands of hair that clung to his neck, "You..."

Before he had any memories of the Canglan Realm, he didn't know what Jiang Hanying had mixed with his wounds when she treated him in the tent.

But what is there that we don't know now?

Jiang Hanying licked her lips, showing no guilt even though she had been noticed. "It's just an extra layer of insurance. If you don't need it, I can just take it back when I get back."

After saying that, he turned around, dusted himself off, and ran away!
Li Chengxiao watched her figure disappear quickly into the doorway, unsure whether to be angry or amused. His hand unconsciously rose and pressed against his chest.

It is the place where that drop of spiritual blood temporarily lingers.

If he suffers a fatal wound, it will be his second life!
"Second brother!"

Seeing that Miss Jiang had already gone back, and her second brother was still standing there blankly, Xiao Wu had no choice but to roll down the car window, turn around, and call out.

Li Chengxiao then came to his senses, turned around, opened the back door, and got in. "Let's go."

As soon as Jiang Hanying returned to the hall, her aunt pulled her to sit on the sofa and talked for a while.

Knowing that this person was afraid she would be upset because of her cheap master's departure, she cooperated.

Actually, she quite enjoys chatting with her aunt. Spending the last two days with her has helped her understand and comprehend many principles that she didn't know much about before.

This must be one of the advantages of having a reasonable and communicative elder. Before they knew it, it was almost nine o'clock, and Tao Junman finally ended the conversation, nodding her lips to indicate, "Just a quick touch-up is fine, we'll leave at nine o'clock sharp."

Jiang Hanying looked in the mirror and realized why her aunt had specifically reminded her.

Her lips were a little red and swollen, and there was a faint tooth mark on her lower left lip.

Fortunately, a thin layer of lipstick can cover it up, and it's not noticeable unless you look closely.

As for her clothes, she didn't need to change them. Her aunt had prepared three new outfits for her. She had worn two of them the day before yesterday and yesterday, and this was the last one, which she could wear when she went out to visit someone today.

After touching up her makeup, she was led by her aunt to a car that was already waiting in the front yard.

As the car smoothly drove out of the alley, Jiang Hanying subconsciously glanced at the two cars that had quietly followed, then looked at her aunt sitting to the side and her uncle sitting opposite her.

She happened to meet her uncle's gaze.

Li Fulin was taken aback. Although his wife knew there were vehicles secretly protecting them, she probably wouldn't have specifically told his future niece-in-law about it.

That leaves only one explanation: the girl figured it out herself!
No wonder her nephew found her; this young lady is quite something!

Although there weren't as many cars on the roads in Beijing as usual on the second day of the Lunar New Year, there were still quite a few, mostly people visiting relatives and friends or going back to their parents' homes.

After driving around for about half an hour, stopping and starting, the car entered a quiet villa area. After driving slowly for another ten minutes or so, it finally stopped at a grand and rustic courtyard villa.

The two large red lanterns on the gate were still hanging high, and the Spring Festival couplets pasted on the door were clearly handwritten by the author, with vigorous strokes.

Stepping through the open gates, the courtyard is filled with signs of New Year celebrations.

Exquisite lanterns hang from the trees, delicate paper-cut window decorations adorn the glass, and even the large fish tank in the yard and the small courtyard carefully arranged for the turtles are decorated with handwritten "Fu" characters and Spring Festival couplets.

Compared to the square, grand, and simple old Li family house, Jiang Hanying's first impression of this place can be summed up in two words: life!
Everywhere you look, there's a vibrant atmosphere of daily life, and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.

"Dad, Mom, we're here!"

The first person to greet them was a slightly overweight middle-aged man with a warm smile. He immediately called out, "Sister, brother-in-law, Jingmo looks like he didn't sleep well. This must be Shu Heng's girlfriend. Give me the things, come in and sit down."

He managed to greet all four people in one go.

Li Jingmo was the first to call him "uncle," and explained, "I talked on the phone with a friend until a little late last night."

Jiang Hanying followed suit and greeted everyone. On the way here, her aunt had told her that they were all family and that she could just greet everyone together. "Hello, Uncle Tao, my name is Jiang Hanying."

Tao Junchen nodded with a smile.

Upon entering the living room, which was decorated with a scholarly atmosphere, we saw two elderly people with white hair, but who looked quite healthy.

Another round of friendly greetings ensued.

Jiang Hanying called out "Grandpa, Grandma" next to her aunt and received four bulging red envelopes that had been prepared in advance.

Two of them were meant for the cheap owner, but the cheap owner didn't come, so she kept them.

The old man even took his hand and patted it gently, saying, "Good boy, you're so handsome. Make yourself at home, don't be shy."

Jiang Hanying nodded readily: "Okay, Grandma."

After putting down the gifts he was carrying, Uncle Tao took out three red envelopes from his shirt pocket and gave two to Jiang Hanying, saying, "Shu Heng didn't come, so you can keep them for him."

She then handed the last one to Li Jingmo, saying, "I wonder when I'll be able to give out another red envelope."

Li Jingmo, who had been called out, touched his nose.

Tao Junman, having received six red envelopes in one go, filling all her pockets, sat down next to her mother and glanced around, asking, "Mom, where are Chuan Chuan and Xiao Xi?"

Right now, the only younger relatives in the living room are her son and her future niece-in-law. It wouldn't be right for her son, as the older brother, to be the one leading his younger siblings around. Since her niece is the same age as Hanying, she thought she'd let the two girls of similar age get to know each other.
