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

Chapter 906 The visitor's arrival was increasingly intense, offering hardcore comfort.

Originally, Li Chengxiao was planning to return to the nearby No. 11 Courtyard due to the heavy rain, but the rain subsided considerably halfway there.

To avoid having to go through all that trouble again tomorrow, he simply changed course and drove towards Guanlanju.

As for the other person in the carriage, he was already fast asleep in the back row, listening to the rain outside the window!
She didn't even know when the car stopped or when she was moved from the car to the bed.

When I woke up, the sun was already shining brightly outside the window.

It rained on and off for two days, and even when the weather cleared up, the temperature became much cooler.

The master bedroom window was half open, and the wind carried in fresh air washed by the rain. Jiang Hanying couldn't help but stretch after sitting up.

After a quick wash, I went down to the second floor to change out of my bathrobe into a thin, long-sleeved loungewear set, and then headed straight downstairs.

The person was still in the air when their voice came down, "How many days have I slept this time?"

The two people who were sitting on the living room sofa talking suddenly turned their heads to look at them.

Jiang Hanying landed and looked closely, "Xiao Zhuo, you've finished recording the show?"

Yue Zhuo stood up from the sofa. "Sister, I arrived yesterday evening."

Jiang Hanying walked over and patted his shoulder. "Sit down and talk."

Yue Zhuo obediently sat back down, then turned around and picked up two large boxes from the small table next to her and handed them over, saying, "The place where I recorded the show is famous for its dairy products, tea, and dried fruit. I bought some before I came back. Sister, please try them."

Jiang Hanying quickly reached out and took it. Opening the top box, she saw it was full of vacuum-packed local delicacies. "That's wonderful, it's exactly what I wanted. Is the bottom box full of them too?"

"These are some stones I picked up while recording a show. The locals said that there might be jade, crystal, agate or something inside these stones. I don't know anything about them, I just picked them up because they looked nice. You can put them at home as decorations or something."

Jiang Hanying paused in her action of opening the box, and upon opening it, she saw a pile of stones inside.

They come in all sizes; the small ones are about the size of quail eggs, and the larger ones aren't that big either. The largest one is only slightly larger than a chicken egg.

Some have been smoothed by the water flow, while others still have sharp edges.

However, each one is indeed unique and beautiful, and you can tell at a glance that they were picked with great care.

Although we can't eat them, this box is... well, it's pretty good!

Li Chengxiao also looked down and asked, "Did you go to the ancient riverbed in the Kunwu area this time?"

Yue Zhuo looked up in surprise: "Yes, Brother Shu Heng, you guessed it just by looking at the stone?"

“I’ve been there before. You guys chat,” Li Chengxiao said, getting up. “I’ll go cook.”

Jiang Hanying stopped Yue Zhuo, who was about to get up and go to help, and said, "Wait a minute, I have a question for you. Guan Shan said that you asked him for leave a few months ago to go back to your hometown and stayed for a week before coming back. Is that Yue, cough, did something happen to your third grandfather?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Zhuo lowered his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds before carefully raising his hand to hook out the black hanging rope under his shirt.

Following his movements, Jiang Han looked over and saw a small piece of purplish-red wood, which had been polished to a very smooth, rounded shape, tied below the rope.

The only drawback is that there is a deep scorch mark in the middle of the wood, which almost broke the wood in two!

“Huh, why do I feel…” Jiang Hanying leaned forward again, raising her hand to touch it, when she saw the ring peeking out from under her sleeve.

He slapped his forehead, exclaiming, "No wonder it looked so familiar!"

This is clearly the same material as that piece of wood. It's also the same material as the double-ringed clasp that opened the boundary gate back then!
Yue Zhuo was startled by her movement and cautiously called out, "Sister?"

Jiang Hanying coughed lightly and sat back down. "Was this piece of wood a gift from your third grandfather?"

"Yes, this is a gift from my third grandfather for my eighteenth birthday." Yue Zhuo carefully picked up the piece of wood. "He told me that besides bringing peace, this wood had another function that I would have to discover myself. I asked him out of curiosity, but he wouldn't tell me. Just a few months ago, this wood suddenly burned me badly. When I took it out, I saw this mark on the wood, and I suddenly felt very flustered and couldn't breathe. I called my third grandfather to ask what happened, but I couldn't get through. I called the village chief, and that's when I learned that my third grandfather had left him a letter and gone on a long trip. In the letter, he specifically instructed me not to tell me about this, saying that I would find out when the time was right. When I called back, my third grandfather had already been gone for more than half a month!"

Jiang Hanying pulled out a tissue and handed it to him, "Wipe your face."

Yue Zhuo instinctively wiped her face, the tissue immediately becoming wet, only then realizing she was crying.

He sniffed before continuing, "I asked Brother Guan for leave and went back that night. I only found a letter that my third grandfather left for me."

What did he say to you in the letter?

The letter was read over and over again by Yue Zhuo. Even after so many days, it was still clearly imprinted in his mind. He didn't even stumble over it. "He said that he had some feelings and wanted to travel around to find a place for his soul to rest. He would say a simple goodbye and not to grieve or miss anything, but to be at peace wherever he went."

Jiang Hanying listened expressionlessly. "What he means is, I'm preparing to leave, and I'll find a way to let him know before I go. Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself. Right?"

Yue Zhuo paused in wiping away her tears and nodded.

Jiang Hanying resisted the urge to roll her eyes; this guy was really good at fooling people.

Look how easily she's fooled this kid in front of her.

"It's alright. When someone really wants to leave, no one can stop them. Maybe he'll be a year old by this time next year. Just remember those last eight words in his letter!"

Yue Zhuo: "..."

He had heard countless words of comfort from the elders during his week in the village, but the one he had just heard was definitely the most hardcore one!
Li Chengxiao, who came out to ask whether the staple food was noodles or rice, was met with this comforting remark: "..."

Never mind, I'll just eat rice.

It's less likely to choke.

After lunch, Yue Zhuo said goodbye and left.

After the initial fire, the workload increased significantly.

He just finished recording a show yesterday and got back, and he has another live broadcast tonight. He still has to memorize the script for the live broadcast when he gets back.

Jiang Hanying and Li Chengxiao both agreed that being busy was good because it kept them from overthinking.

After seeing Yue Zhuo off, Jiang Hanying turned around and opened a package of the dried fruit he had given her, saying, "Let me taste it!"

While eating, he rummaged through the stones in another box, then suddenly remembered something, looked up and asked, "I almost forgot, how many days did I sleep this time?"

"Two days and three nights."

"So, including today, I can play 900 game coins, right?"

Li Chengxiao handed her her phone. "Yuan Chaoyu contacted you yesterday, and I answered. Can you call her back first?"

Jiang Hanying: If we go back in time, would she still be able to play today?
"You are malicious!"

Couldn't we wait until she was done playing before saying anything?
Li Chengxiao smiled and nodded: "Mm."
