CHAPTER 184: CHAPTER 64: DEPARTURE, LIVE VARIETY SHOW

Since Miao Miao and Sun Mulin had already expressed their opinions, Du Xixi and Ke Lian naturally agreed too. However, because the invitation only indicated an invitation without specifying the details, Du Xixi and Ke Lian stayed at home for a few more days.

During these days, Ke Lian also submitted a report to the Military Department. Du Xixi thought that perhaps the Military Department would not so readily agree to Ke Lian participating in a variety show, but the report was returned on the same day, stamped with swift approval, allowing Ke Lian and his wife to participate.

"I thought the Military Department would have some concerns." That night, Du Xixi lay on her back on the sofa, letting Ke Lian squat beside her and massage her legs.

Du Xixi’s calves were a bit swollen, and sometimes she would experience cramps in her sleep at night, so Ke Lian frequently gave her leg massages, hoping to make her more comfortable.

Upon hearing Du Xixi’s comment, Miao Miao and 2569, who were not familiar with the Military Department, naturally had no response. Therefore, it was Ke Lian who answered Du Xixi: "I want to accompany you there to relieve boredom, and the Military Department has no reason to stop me."

Du Xixi raised her eyebrows, listening as Ke Lian continued, "Moreover, the Military Department isn’t as inflexible as you think. They often ask me to participate in interview-style live broadcasts to promote the Military Department and attract more talent."

Ke Lian was carefully massaging several acupuncture points he had learned from the Military Doctor, with a gentle tone that was like a breeze brushing past Du Xixi’s ears, bringing a slight ripple: "We participate in the live variety show to let everyone see how we interact, potentially alleviating a lot of talent’s concerns about dealing with family members."

The Military Department enforces strict discipline. Besides soldiers like Ke Lian and Mo Feng who have higher ranks and can regularly return home, other soldiers must live in the Military Department or in various military camps it has established.

Living in the Military Department naturally leads to less time and care for family. Many of the talents required by the Military Department are often reluctant to join for this reason.

They are willing to contribute and even sacrifice their lives for the Empire, but not at the expense of their own family, ensuring the Empire’s safety while leaving their families worried about them at home.

When children wish to show filial piety but their parents are no longer there, dealing with family members has become an invisible chasm, turning many military talents and the Military Department into parallel lines.

Even though Ke Lian had adjusted his work schedule to come back early in the afternoon, before the adjustment, Ke Lian, the "workaholic," spent every day in the office, causing many at the Military Department to doubt whether the relationship between Du Xixi and Ke Lian was really as good as rumored.

After all, could the relationship truly be harmonious with Du Xixi at home alone without her husband’s company? Could it be as intimate as that of an ordinary couple?

They didn’t believe it.

Therefore, this invitation to the variety show "We Are Husband and Wife" came just in time. It not only relieved Du Xixi’s boredom but also dispelled public doubt about Ke Lian and his wife’s relationship, achieving two goals with one move.

Another night passed, and the director team of "We Are Husband and Wife" sent the relevant details to Du Xixi and Ke Lian. The couple delved into the details and found out there wasn’t much to it.

Three couples, not from the industry, for three days and two nights, all staying in a villa, under a 24-hour continuous live broadcast mode.

Of course, in certain situations, the live stream could be turned off—such as going to the bathroom, changing clothes in a room, or when the couple wanted some private time together...

The smart-controlled live broadcast projector could automatically detect the actions of those being filmed and react accordingly.

Besides having to live with two unfamiliar couples and endure three days and two nights of lengthy streaming, there wasn’t much else to worry about. Du Xixi and Ke Lian quickly packed their luggage and, with Sun Mulin’s help in transport, arrived at the large villa.

The villa was located in a small town; although not economically developed, the citizens lived peacefully and worry-free, with beautiful scenery. Therefore, this season’s "We Are Husband and Wife" would be filmed and broadcast live here.

Sun Mulin also needed to appear at the beginning, after all, Ke Lian and Du Xixi were his friends, and overall he needed to introduce them. Although given Du Xixi and Ke Lian’s fame, this was entirely unnecessary.

The entire crew of "We Are Husband and Wife," along with various staff members, gathered outside the villa to welcome Du Xixi and Ke Lian.
