How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

As a cultured person, Hong Li should definitely take this opportunity to read more books and improve her cultural literacy. She can't be like Hei Yang, who just eats and sleeps all day and then bullies her in various ways.

She, Hong Li, is different; she is an inspiring young woman from the world of travel with ideals and ambitions…

In short, I'm reading a book, Hei Yang is sleeping in, and I've already won big enough to crush him on a knowledge level!

Hongli told herself this, and the mental victory made her unable to resist curling the corners of her mouth. She opened the book and started reading, trying to "learn" something from it.

Based on the current content, the book is just an ordinary classic adventure and growth novel.

It tells the story of the protagonist struggling from weakness, experiencing difficulties and setbacks, and finally becoming a powerful figure, gaining courage, strength, friendship, love, wealth, and so on.

Of course, Hongli has only read the beginning so far, and the rest is all in her imagination, because this book is only the first part of a new work, and the author is the same one who just finished reading the previous set of books.

This is already the fifth book Hongli has read by the other party. She has been reading it since the age of twelve, so she can be considered one of the other party's loyal readers.

She appeared to be a lady from a scholarly family, living in a city further east than the capital.

As for anything else, Hong Li didn't know. She generally didn't care much about the author's identity when reading books, but she knew that the author's pen name was a normal person and wouldn't be given poison for no reason.

Of course, Hong Li still remained somewhat wary. She couldn't let her guard down just because of a familiar pen name. What if that person suddenly had a mental breakdown or suffered some kind of blow and suddenly changed their style, hiding something in the book? That would be too sloppy.

However, Hongli had read her books since she was a child and felt that the other party was relatively stable and probably wouldn't cause her any trouble.

Putting aside all the irrelevant details, so far, the impression of this book, "Red Glass," is quite good.

The protagonist of this book is the kind of hardworking, ambitious, and relentlessly striving type, a completely different kind of being from her and Hei Yang.

At this time, in order to stand out from the crowd and achieve fame and success, the protagonist chooses to join the army and make a name for himself, hoping to gain merit by fighting bravely on the battlefield and be ennobled or appointed as a high-ranking official.

By now, Hong Li probably already realized that the protagonist of this book is different from the white moonlight who turned evil in the previous book. This one is a ruthless person from the beginning, who will either die or definitely make a name for himself.

However, as of now, Hong Li has not yet seen any major opportunities or turning points for the protagonist; she has only noticed that the author has devoted a great deal of space to describing the war.

It's not about the exhilarating feeling of galloping across the battlefield; instead, it depicts the cruelty of war from the perspective of ordinary people, such as childhood friends who came with him and were scattered after a single charge, only to be seen on the list of dead the next day.

For example, the protagonist might find family letters or correspondence on the enemy's corpse, creating a sense of oppression.

"So, fighting and war are really annoying. There are always innocent people who are sad and heartbroken..."

Hong Li sighed, then felt somewhat relieved. Fortunately, war only existed in her imagination; there was no war in the real world of travel. If such a thing really existed, it would be terrifying.

"Hmm, speaking of which, back to the main character's friend's body was never found. Could it be that he's not dead and will reappear as an important character later on?"

However, this doesn't seem like the author's style; she usually dies characters and doesn't give them a chance to come back to life..."

Hongli pondered, "Now that the emotional buildup is almost complete, the next character to face a life-or-death crisis should be the protagonist."

Having witnessed the ordeal of a companion, the protagonist is likely in a highly sensitive and tense state. What will happen next?

As Hongli read, she speculated about the plot, her expression serious and absorbed. In her eyes, the other side was another real world, where the characters had their own joys, sorrows, and logic. She regarded each book as a journey.

During the trip, my mood fluctuated.

Sure enough, Hong Li turned the page again and came to a new chapter. Her eyes lit up. There was a turning point. The protagonist's special skill was noticed by an important person, and he was assigned to carry out a secret mission. It was the kind of mission with a high chance of death. His teammates were all ashen-faced, but the protagonist was calm and did not have much emotional fluctuation.

This made Hongli somewhat expectant. She always felt that the protagonist had some little secrets that he hadn't revealed yet, but she didn't know what they were. However, she was sure that he was hiding something.

However, this test should force his secret to come out, and then everything will be revealed.

Hong Li read intently, watching the protagonist display extraordinary abilities right from the start of the mission, while a powerful figure who had been observing the mission's progress revealed a long-standing secret that seemed to be related to the protagonist.

"Keep going……"

Hongli eagerly turned to the next page, and then...

"what?"

Hongli looked at the cover on the back, tilted her head, flipped it over, then flipped it back, then flipped it over again, then flipped it back again.

After confirming several times, Hongli finally realized that she had finished reading the book in her hand. The "to be continued" part told her that if she wanted to read it again, she should look forward to the author's future efforts, and so on.

It sounds complicated, but the meaning is actually quite simple.

In summary, if Hong Li wants to know what happens next, she'll have to wait until next month at the latest!

She might take a break next month because of the approaching Chinese New Year; Hongli is very familiar with this kind of thing.

In other words, there's a high probability that she'll have to wait until next year to see how the story unfolds!

A tic-tac-toe expression popped into Hongli's head. Suddenly, she wanted to go to that person's door and lock them in a dark room, but she also knew that was impossible.

So, there's only one word left: "wait"!

"Ughhhh, this is awful!"

Hongli let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong in the middle of the night?"

Hei Yang kept his eyes closed and didn't open them, then said in a low voice, "What's wrong with you now? Trying to summon a spirit?"

"Yes, yes, I thought you were dead. I was just trying to summon your spirit."

Hongli rolled her eyes at Heiyang, closed her book and put it aside, rubbed her neck, and couldn't help but ask, "What time is it?"

"It's almost one in the morning."

Hei Yang was simply resting with his eyes closed, and he remained relatively awake while Hong Li was reading.

After all, he couldn't sleep soundly if Hong Li didn't sleep.

"Ah, it's still early..."

Hongli breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look out the window, and listened to the rustling sounds outside, like the sound of snow scraping against the treetops, and the howling of the wind.

Is it still snowing outside?

"Hmm, that's right. I reckon when we wake up tomorrow morning, there will be a really thick layer of snow."

Hei Yang snorted and said leisurely, "I wonder if the snow will stop tomorrow?"

If it stops snowing, Xiao Huo will probably drag the two of us out for a snowball fight.

You can't go back on your promise to your child.

"Oh ho?"

Hongli raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask, "Heiyang, do you mean we're tampering with this snow so it won't stop...?"

"Stop, stop, stop."

Hei Yang suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, gritting his teeth as he reached out to pry open Pan Hongli's head.

"Hongli, what are you saying? You'll go to hell if you keep talking like this..."

"Oh, so there's no reincarnation in the celestial realm? You'll get struck by lightning for that, I'm telling you, that's really despicable!"

"Oh, just kidding, I'm not that kind of person!"

Hongli's head was being held down by Heiyang. She lowered her head and said in a drawn-out voice, "Heiyang, I just fixed my hair. Don't mess it up again. How can you not respect other people's hard work at all?"

"Come on, don't change the subject."

Hei Yang rolled his eyes and said, "What do you say about the snowball fight tomorrow...?"

"Well, if I've agreed, I definitely have to do it."

Hongli waved her hand smugly and said confidently, "She's just a kid. It'll get tiring to run around and play with her."

Even if you're not tired, the novelty will probably wear off soon, so why worry about these trivial things then?

"And if we call over a few more friends to help ease the burden, then Xiao Huo will have a great time, won't that be easy? I didn't know we needed to worry about this!"

"hiss!!!"

Hei Yang gasped, gave Hong Li a thumbs up, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Brilliant, Xiao Li! No wonder you're so relaxed reading. I was wondering why you had a plan in mind all along! You're truly resourceful and have considered everything!"

"Haha, you flatter me, there's nothing much to say, hahaha..."

Hongli put her hands on her hips and laughed loudly.

........................

"Hahaha, hahaha... I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore!"

Hongli clung to Heiyang's arm, looking utterly exhausted. In the distance, the snow-covered landscape was a pristine white, with the snow almost reaching a child's knees.

It was only 9:30 a.m., but Hei Yang Hong Li had already been dragged up and tortured for nearly two hours.

"Don't lean on me, I'm tired too."

Hei Yang watched Xiao Huo running and laughing in the snow with a look of utter despair, his eyes filled with tears.

"Is this what you mean by kids getting tired quickly from running around and their interest waning rapidly?"

"Don't ask me, how would I know!"

Hongli sighed.

It wasn't just the family of three; Hei Yang's parents, two cousins, and even the Spirit Chicken and Copper Snake came to join in the fun.

"Mom and Dad, come and play!"

Little Fire waved a snowball in the distance, her rosy cheeks beaming as she called out, "Keep going!"

"Aaaaaah, no way! Snowball fights are so boring..."

"Um?!!"
