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

Chapter 700 Border, Heavenly Inn
Moving into the apartment was much smoother than moving out of the Gao family villa.

Tao Junchen had already given prior notice; all he needed to do was register his identity information at the apartment management office and get the access key to take the elevator directly to his dormitory floor.

"No one is living in this room yet, so it's like a single room. There's very little staff turnover at the shop; basically, no one is quitting. I estimate that for a considerable period of time, my brother will be living alone."

When the door was opened and the lights were turned on, the brother and sister who had just entered were greeted by a standard small apartment that wasn't very big.

To the left of the entrance is a double sink and a separate toilet and shower room. Further in is a small, linear kitchenette and a combined living and dining area.

Further inside are two 1.3-meter single beds side by side. If a couple wants to stay together, they can move the bedside table between the two beds to make one big bed.

The wardrobe and table are placed at the foot of the bed, with a passageway in the middle leading directly to a small balcony where clothes can be dried.

Song Yining led her brother on a tour of the dormitory and was extremely satisfied. "This is even better than the dormitory at our workplace."

Although the conditions are still better than the villa I lived in before, this is a space that belongs only to me and I don't have to worry about anyone else's opinions. Even if other people might move in later, it will only be temporary, and that's still great.

"Chuan Chuan, I'm planning to move dorms."

When I first started working, I had to rent an apartment because the company dormitory was for the person living there; outsiders couldn't move in with them.

Now that her brother has a place to stay, and having just witnessed firsthand how strict the management of Xingyuan Apartment is, plus with the support of her future father-in-law and boyfriend, she feels completely at ease.

Tao Jinchuan was diligently helping his brother-in-law pack his luggage when he heard this. He nodded in agreement, "That's good. The dormitory is close to your workplace, which shortens the commute and allows you to sleep in a little longer in the morning."

The key point is that I wasn't happy staying in the luxury villa we stayed in before!
Just as Tao Jinchuan finished packing his luggage, he received a call from his father, "You've moved into Xingyuan ahead of schedule?"

"Ah."

Tao Junchen didn't ask for the specific reasons over the phone. His son and future daughter-in-law must have their reasons for choosing to move up the date.

"Haven't eaten yet? Come help us, we'll provide meals!"

After speaking, I hung up.

Tao Jinchuan put down his phone. "Let's go eat at my dad's!"

They don't need to diet or not eat!

I'm in a great mood right now, I'll eat even more in the future!

Jiang Hanying returned to her small courtyard and began packing her luggage.

Just now, after dinner, while she was testing out her new racket with her uncle and aunt at the indoor tennis court in the old house, she received a call from Guan Shan informing her that her workload for tomorrow had increased again.

Originally, I just wanted to get together with Guan Shan and Shang Jun to talk about the extreme sports variety show that Shang Jun wanted to start.

Now, I have an additional task: packing luggage and taking behind-the-scenes photos for the upcoming filming of "A Taste of the World". During the filming, I also need to vaguely reveal the destination of this culinary journey so that it can be posted online to generate discussion and hype for the show in advance.

Even unfamiliar vehicles have to be strictly checked before they can enter the Li family's old residence, let alone allow the production crew to come and go. So she simply decided to move back to her dormitory to film.

Jiang Hanying was very irritable while busy packing her luggage.

She wouldn't give her master the ability to compress things to the extreme and make good use of every corner of the space; she could only try to achieve miracles by brute force and stuff it in.

However, since moving into the Li family's old house, she has received various clothes that her aunt had bought for her in advance, as well as gifts from time to time. In addition, she bought some things herself today, so the amount of luggage she brought back has more than doubled since she arrived.

Even though she had taken all the suitcases from her cheap owner's yard, there were still quite a few left to put in. Sigh, if only her cheap owner could just appear in front of her like a flash.

Then I won't have to worry about this pile of luggage anymore!
The border of China.

Li Chengxiao had just jumped out of a black SUV.

He turned around, took the black backpack from Xiao Wu, and waved his hand, "Go back now."

"Second brother, why don't I stay here? If anything happens to you, just let me know so I can respond in time."

"No need. Your mission ends here. I don't need your help. Coming in recklessly will only get you killed."

Xiao Wu could only nod, "Then, Second Brother, please be careful in everything you do."

Li Chengxiao nodded, watched Xiao Wu drive the car around and head back the way he came, and then turned around and continued walking forward, his steps uneven.

After walking for about a kilometer and rounding a small hill less than 100 meters high, a spacious courtyard suddenly appeared in the wilderness.

The flickering lights illuminated the general outline of the courtyard.

There was only one dilapidated two-story wooden building in the center of the courtyard, which was also the brightest spot in the entire courtyard.

The surrounding open space was scattered with tents of all sizes. Some were already dark, while others still had lights on. Some people didn't even have tents; they just found a tattered cloth to lie down on and snored loudly, alerting passersby that someone was lying there.

Although it was still winter, the border area was already warm like spring. Even he himself took off his coat and down jacket when he arrived here, wearing only a thin off-road suit that was easy to move in, and did not feel cold at all.

Glancing at the courtyard right in front of him, Li Chengxiao didn't stop. He walked straight through the non-existent courtyard gate and stood in front of the counter on the first floor of the two-story wooden building.

The woman, who was dozing off on the counter, noticed the shadow falling on her head. She immediately opened her eyes, sat up, and looked up. She saw that the person's windbreaker was zipped up to just above his nose, and he was wearing sunglasses that completely covered his face. It was not surprising.

There are plenty of people who come here hiding their faces, but it's rare to see someone suddenly and openly reveal their face.

His gaze swept down, taking in the man's impressive physique, which even his windbreaker couldn't hide, before he smiled and greeted him, "Welcome to Tianwaitian Inn, handsome! You're late today, there are no rooms left in the wooden building. Would you like to rent a tent? A new single tent is 300 yuan a day, and a used one..."

"Need not."

"Oh," the woman's tone suddenly turned cold. He looked alright, but he wouldn't even rent a tent. He was either stingy or poor. "One hundred yuan. Any empty space outside the wooden building and inside the courtyard, choose whichever you like. Cash only."

Li Chengxiao took out a bill of cash that he had prepared beforehand and handed it over.

The woman quickly took the stack, then couldn't help glancing at the pile that had been put back, and suddenly felt an urge to rip the man off.

Seeing that the person was about to leave after paying the basic accommodation fee for one night, he quickly asked, "Do you need any food or drinks? We have all kinds of instant noodles and barbecue, mineral water, beverages and alcohol, as well as cigarettes and a signal house that can contact the outside world."

Li Chengxiao had already stepped out of the wooden building's door when he heard the last sentence and stopped.

The signal in this area is extremely weak; it's difficult to even make a phone call or send a message, let alone access the internet.

He noticed the hot marks on his palms as soon as he got out of the car, but he couldn't very well ask Xiao Wu to drive back just to make a phone call.

How much does a signal house cost?

The woman's lips immediately curved into a smile, and her voice became much sweeter than before, "One hundred per minute, you have to deposit one thousand first, any overpayment will be refunded and any underpayment will be collected."

Li Chengxiao pulled out another thin stack and handed it over. The woman took it, counted it, and found it to be exactly the right amount. She waved her hand and said, "Handsome, please come this way!"
