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

Chapter 705 New Year's Goods and Specialty Products, Preparations Before the Live Broadcast
Pei Yuan brought some New Year's specialties from her hometown for those she was familiar with at the studio.

Jiang Hanying took her share first, "Who's the rest for?"

"Brother Guan and Teacher Chi, I'm going to put the remaining two portions in the dining room. Anyone who wants some can take it. By the way, Sister, has Teacher Chi come to the studio yet?"

"Yes, I saw him when I came over this morning. Guan Shan is in his office."

"Then I'll deliver the New Year's goods to Brother Guan first."

Jiang Hanying was content with good food, so she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you at the restaurant."

After parting ways with Pei Yuan, Jiang Hanying arrived at the restaurant and immediately spotted Chi Song leisurely eating by the window. When Chi Song looked up at her, Jiang Hanying nodded as a greeting, picked up her plate, chose some of her favorite dishes, and casually sat down.

Then she couldn't wait to open the box that Pei Yuan had just given her.

A fragrant and spicy aroma immediately filled her nostrils, making her swallow loudly.

Chi Song first heard the sound of someone swallowing saliva, and then smelled the gradually spreading spicy aroma. He couldn't help but look up.

As a result, someone glared at me warily and said, "This is mine."

Chi Song: "..."

Does he seem like the kind of person who's so greedy?
It does smell quite nice.

Seeing that Chi Song obediently looked away, Jiang Hanying quickly picked up her chopsticks, took a slice of braised beef, and put it in her mouth. The fragrant, numbing, and spicy flavor instantly filled her mouth, and the crispy texture made her squint her eyes in satisfaction.

good to eat!

Chi Song's attention was drawn to it again.

Just by looking at the expression on someone's face as they enjoy their food, you can tell that it must taste really good.

What should I do if I really want to eat this?
"Teacher Chi, you're in the cafeteria too!"

Just then, Pei Yuan, who had just delivered New Year's gifts to Guan Shan, walked into the restaurant and saw Chi Song eating at a table not far from Han Ying. She exclaimed in surprise and quickly walked over, handing him a beautifully wrapped gift bag. "These are some local specialties that my grandma made for the New Year. This is for you."

Chi Song hurriedly put down her chopsticks and stood up. She looked at the bag handed to her, then at the bag on the table in front of Jiang Hanying, and took it with both hands. "Thank you, Assistant Pei."

"No need, you're welcome."

After taking the remaining two portions to the kitchen, Pei Yuan got her food and sat down opposite Jiang Hanying. She then noticed the box in front of Jiang Hanying was half empty. "You..."

Jiang Hanying looked up, revealing her lips, which were red and slightly swollen from the spiciness. She licked the sesame seeds off the corners of her mouth, pointed to the beef jerky she had eaten almost half of in such a short time, and gave a thumbs up. "This is delicious!"

Pei Yuan was both amused and exasperated. "You can't eat this much all at once! So much spice is too much for your stomach. Does your stomach feel burning right now?"

"good."

Seeing Jiang Hanying reach for the chopsticks again, Pei Yuan quickly closed the lid and took the food in her hand. "We'll eat the rest tonight. I only brought these back, and they've all been given away. If you eat them all now, there won't be any left."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hanying subconsciously turned her head to look in Chi Song's direction.

Chi Song silently protected the gift bag she hadn't yet opened in her hand, saying, "This is mine."

The boomerang came right back!
"Xiao Chi, I can take care of you when we're filming the show tomorrow."

"Is it the kind of care you're talking about?"

Pei Yuan held back for a moment but couldn't help herself, "Pfft!"

Jiang Hanying glared at them, then looked at the confiscated and hidden beef, and after confirming that there was no room for negotiation, she lowered her head and began to eat properly.

Halfway through the meal, Guan Shan also finished his work and came to the restaurant to eat.

Jiang Hanying glanced at his hands, and only looked away when she saw they were empty.

Guan Shan, who was being stared at with a puzzled expression: "..."

Pei Yuan and Chi Song, who knew exactly what Jiang Hanying was looking at, were speechless.

They're still thinking about that little bit of food, I'm really impressed!

"It's perfect that you're both here," Guan Shan said, before getting his food. He first sent out a notice, "The production crew will be coming to your dorm to install filming equipment between 2:30 and 3:00 this afternoon. The live stream of packing your suitcases will start promptly at 3:30. The production crew will handle all the filming and live stream. You just need to pack your personal belongings beforehand." Seeing that the two nodded after hearing this, he turned around to get his food.

Chi Song arrived first and finished eating first, then got up and went back to the dormitory ahead of everyone else.

Next were Jiang Hanying and Pei Yuan. After going downstairs, the two grabbed their suitcases, which they had temporarily stored at the front desk, and headed straight for their dormitories.

Pei Yuan didn't go back to her own room downstairs, but went straight back to Jiang Hanying's place. She glanced at the time and it was already past one o'clock. "Sis, you go take a nap first. I can pack these two suitcases. I'll come and get you at two o'clock."

Jiang Hanying took off her coat and rolled up her sleeves, saying, "Together."

Pei Yuan thought that she had just finished lunch and it was not appropriate to lie down so soon, so she nodded.

The two each had a suitcase.

Pei Yuan opened the box in front of her and saw that everything inside was neatly organized. "Did Instructor Li pack this?"

"It's me!"

Jiang Hanying looked up and met Pei Yuan's disbelieving gaze. "It really is me, but he did teach me how to do it."

"Mmm-hmm." Pei Yuan nodded to indicate that she believed her.

The two chatted as they tidied up.

"Sis, you bought a car for the New Year?"

"Buying a car? No!"

"I saw your racing video yesterday, the silver one..."

"I won it in a race, I didn't spend any money."

Originally, taxes would have been payable, but she changed it to a gift, so no taxes were payable.

I didn't spend a single penny.

Pei Yuan: "..."

As expected, it has to be Sister Ying!

As she spoke, she took out a stack of red envelopes from her suitcase and couldn't help but exclaim, "You've had quite a haul going back for the New Year with Instructor Li this time!"

"Of course, everyone likes me. They compete to give me red envelopes. Even the instructors don't receive as many as I do."

After all, she couldn't go to Grandpa Tao's house to pay New Year's respects, so now there are three fewer people, which is no less than her number.

Pei Yuan: "...Yes, yes, you're the most likable."

He then placed the red envelope on the table beside him.

After packing down the bottom layer of clothes, I said, "When I video-chatted with Yue Zhuo a couple of days ago to wish him a Happy New Year, I specifically asked him about the temperature where he lives. It's about ten degrees higher than in Beijing. It's just cooler in the mornings and evenings, basically the same temperature as early spring in Beijing. You don't need to bring down jackets or thick coats. Just bring a few thick jackets. Also, the sun is quite strong there..."

As Pei Yuan spoke, she also picked out and hung up the clothes she would need for packing for the live stream later.

Jiang Hanying nodded. Although the clothes, shoes, and other items in this walk-in closet all belonged to her, Pei Yuan was much more familiar with it than she, the owner of the closet, was.

Let her pick out the clothes she needs to wear for the show and coordinate the outfits—have some leeway with her!
"You don't need to bring too much. You can buy more clothes locally if you don't have enough. Just bring one suitcase."

"Ok."

Half an hour passed after I packed my suitcase and secretly prepared the clothes and other items that I would put in it during the live stream.

After a busy day, the two went back to their rooms for a midday rest.

When I woke up, I heard the doorbell ring, followed by the sound of Pei Yuan, who was sleeping in the guest room, shuffling over in her slippers.

She threw back the covers, sat up, and looked towards the door, only to be met with a face that also looked flustered from just waking up. "I'm sorry, sis, I didn't hear the alarm clock."

I spent the Lunar New Year holiday back home, sleeping in every day until I naturally woke up. I never expected that I would become so lax on the very first day back at work!

"Go and open the door."
