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

Chapter 804 I've got everything ready, the handwritten letter in the gift box
Inside the underground practice room of Lan Palace.

Lin Shuangshuang was wearing a loose black training uniform. In front of her stood a newly replaced human-shaped training stake, and the sound of striking it was continuous.

You could hear it exceptionally clearly even before you got to the practice room.

Li Jingmo carried the box of wedding candy and walked quickly towards it, but stopped abruptly when she reached the door of the practice room.

Looking at the back of the person practicing so enthusiastically with their back to him, and then at the face reflected in the mirror facing the practice room door, a face with slightly pursed lips and cheeks trembling slightly with each powerful strike, he was afraid to even step inside, let alone call out to anyone, lest the sound of his footsteps disturb the other person.

I simply stood at the door and waited quietly.

Lin Shuangshuang was completely focused on the humanoid figure in front of her, which was strictly composed according to the shape and skeletal structure of the human body. She didn't even notice that she could see the person standing at the door of the practice room if she raised her eyelids slightly.

When her strength was almost completely exhausted, her already low body temperature became even more sweaty, and even her usually pale face had a blush. Only then did she stop training, take a step back, pick up a towel hanging on the rack next to her, wipe her face, and look up to meet a pair of eyes that were quietly looking at her through the mirror.

He quickly turned around and looked towards the door. "When did you get back? How long have you been standing there?"

"I just got here a short while ago. I saw you practicing so diligently that I didn't dare to come in and disturb you." Li Jingmo walked back and stepped inside, stopping in front of Lin Shuangshuang and handing her a large red gift box. "Here, these are wedding candies from Shu Heng and Han Ying as a return gift."

"Are you afraid I'll punch you and send you flying?" Lin Shuangshuang smiled as she took the gift box, touching the double happiness character embossed in gold on it. "I thought you'd be back two days late this time."

"With your current strength, you could really send me flying if you wanted to." Li Jingmo said, glancing at the obviously newly replaced human-shaped stake next to him. He guessed the last one was broken and scrapped. He didn't think he could be sturdier than this human-shaped stake. "These two young people don't need me, the big brother, as a third wheel right now. It's more convenient for them when none of us are around. Cough cough, so I came back as soon as I had nothing else to do."

Lin Shuangshuang lowered her head and opened the gift box, looking at the dazzling array of colorful candies inside. She took one, tore open the wrapper, and put it in her mouth. "So sweet!"

Li Jingmo couldn't help but reach out and press her slightly puffed-out cheek. Seeing that she was staring at him with wide eyes, he silently withdrew his hand, glanced back at the door where no one was, and then lowered his voice to say, "Hanying also asked me to tell you a message."

Seeing his expression and hearing his lowered and now serious tone, Lin Shuangshuang felt a sudden tightness in her chest. "What did you say?"

"She's telling you to be prepared."

Some things don't need to be said in detail, because the listener will understand their meaning the moment they hear them.

Lin Shuangshuang almost swallowed the whole candy she had just put in her mouth.

"Double!"

She was gently shaken several times by her shoulders before she came to her senses. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, but she was still too excited to control herself.

She had never told anyone that since she found out where her sister was, she had lost count of how many times she had dreamt of that place in the middle of the night.

Similarly, countless times she struggled to wake up.

Now, the time has finally come for us to actually set off!

"I," Lin Shuangshuang clenched her fists and raised her arms. Despite her still slender arms from continuous training, the smooth muscle lines were visible even through the fabric with just a little effort. "I'm ready, I really am..."

"Yes, I saw it all."

"But Ke Hanying and Instructor Li just got their marriage certificate, why are they suddenly planning to go there?"

"It wasn't a sudden decision; we had almost finished preparing beforehand, which is why we planned to set off soon."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded, then rubbed her still sore arms with both hands, turned around and got into a fighting stance. "You go ahead and do your thing, I'll practice for another quarter of an hour." Li Jingmo moved his lips but ultimately didn't try to persuade her to sit down and rest, knowing he couldn't change her mind.

I could only stand there with the remaining gift boxes, listening to the even louder thumping sounds, enduring the toothache, and silently watch for a while before turning around and quietly leaving.

"Aunt Heng, this is a wedding favor from Shu Heng and Han Ying. There's also a surprise inside." Li Jingmo relayed his aunt's words.

"A surprise?" Zhu Heng took the gift box handed to her and opened it.

In addition to a box full of wedding candies that was also packed very tightly, her gift box also contained a handwritten letter that is now rarely seen.

The envelope simply read "To be opened by Aheng," yet it made Zhu Heng's hand tremble uncontrollably as she opened it.

As Li Jingmo stood up, she glanced over and guessed that this must be the surprise her second aunt had mentioned for Aunt Heng. "Aunt Heng, I'll go out first."

"Okay, go and do your work."

The letter wasn't long, but Zhu Heng read it for a long time, until every word on the paper was deeply imprinted in her mind, before closing the letter, tilting her head back, taking a deep breath, and then slowly exhaling.

As Que Bingchen entered, the first thing he saw was a large red gift box placed in front of his wife. He was about to speak when he saw her reddened eyes, and the words he was about to say changed his mind. "What's wrong? Isn't it a joyous occasion that Shu Heng and Miss Jiang got their marriage certificate? Why are you like this..."

"Of course it's a joyous occasion, I'm so happy." Zhu Heng blinked and looked up to meet her husband's eyes. "Mingxin is back."

"Mingxin? Wait, you mean Ye Mingxin!" Que Bingchen was now also flustered. "She, she's been missing for over twenty years, hasn't she? Everyone says that people..."

“Say whatever you want,” Zhu Heng interrupted him abruptly. “If you say someone is missing, then they are missing. Now they have been found.”

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. That person is currently in Beijing?"

"What are you saying? Yesterday, Shu Heng and Han Ying got their marriage certificate, so naturally Ming Xin, as the mother-in-law, had to be there."

"So you're planning to go to Beijing to see her?"

Que Bingchen knew how close the two of them used to be; sometimes, even he, as their husband, was jealous.

Zhu Heng shook her head. "I'm not going to the capital. Mingxin said she and her master will be there in a few days to provide free medical services. We can stop by Queshan to meet them, or if I'm not busy, I can go to their clinic to meet them. It's closer and more convenient than going to the capital."

"Then I..."

To be honest, Que Bingchen really wanted to go and meet the people.

This person has been missing for over twenty years, and almost everyone has already concluded that...

And now it's actually back alive and well!

It feels a bit fantastical.

Zhu Heng raised an eyebrow: "What?"

Que Bingchen: "No, it's nothing."

Sure enough, as soon as that guy surnamed Ye returned, he fell out of favor!
