The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 229

Upon learning that Ji Jirou was going to apply a facial mask on her, Nan XiangWan closed her eyes again.

Let her apply whatever she wants, anyway Nan XiangWan was going to sleep!

Ji Jirou's hand hung in mid-air, unsure whether to apply the mask or not.

She was on the verge of a breakdown!

What a psycho!

Sleeping so soundly yet could suddenly open her eyes when someone approached her.

What kind of terrifying alertness was this?

Hua Yuan smiled and said, "Go ahead and apply it on her, the child indeed doesn't understand skin care. She's just relying on her young age to maintain her skin. It definitely won't be able to withstand that after some time."

Ji Jirou nodded and eventually applied the mask thoroughly on Nan XiangWan, without missing her neck.

Late at night.

Ji Jirou had trouble falling asleep for a long time, tossing and turning the whole time.

Zhu Yun heard the noise and scooted over, asking softly, "Jirou sis, what's wrong?"

Ji Jirou also whispered, "I just find it strange, why was I so antagonistic towards Nan XiangWan at first sight? I genuinely hated her a lot this afternoon! Yet she didn't even do anything."

Zhu Yun: "Stop thinking about it, go to sleep."

In the end, Ji Jirou didn't figure it out and fell asleep groggily.

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

On the other side in the men's dormitory.

The actor troupe was naturally still passionately discussing Nan XiangWan's performance today, she was indeed too awesome!

The four air force members in the dormitory also joined in, and they started a fan club-like discussion.

Gu Beihuai didn't participate. He sat against the wall wearing his glasses while reading a book.

Later at night, Mantou came by.

As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Beihuai reading a book. Mantou directly snatched the book from him.

Gu Beihuai took off his glasses, "What are you doing again?"

Mantou: "Come out with me!"

The two went out to the stairwell outside.

Mantou spoke harshly, "Don't you know your eyes are in bad shape? The lights in the dormitory are too glaring!"

Gu Beihuai: "I just started reading."

Mantou: "Nonsense! What's going on with you? You didn't even need glasses two years ago. Having to wear them so often recently means your condition is recurring right?"

Gu Beihuai: "Mm, I'm a bit fatigued."

Mantou: "Yet you're still reading books? Staring under those bright ceiling lights will make you go blind sooner or later!"

Gu Beihuai: "Then I'll just read during the daytime, give me my book back."

Mantou: "No way! Let me see what crap you're reading this time..."

After saying that, he flipped through the confiscated book.

Then Mantou was shocked!

Mantou: "What the heck are you doing with this? This is a University Physics textbook! What do you need this for? Didn't you already graduate? There's definitely something wrong with you!"

Gu Beihuai: "Stop interfering."

Mantou: "No! Something's not right with you, it's like you're possessed! I have to interfere!"

Gu Beihuai helplessly said: "I'm not possessed. I'm just reviewing my undergrad courses again."

But Mantou didn't care. He forcefully confiscated the book, and even ran into the dormitory to rummage through Gu Beihuai's luggage.

Wow! The suitcase was filled with books!

They were all undergrad theory textbooks!

Without another word, Mantou seized them all.

How could he still bring so many books when his eyes were in such bad shape? Was he asking to go blind?

This really pissed Mantou off!

Just then, Tan Shen walked in with a smile, even politely making way for Mantou.

Mantou glanced at him, "Thanks brother. Rest early, training tomorrow will be tiring."

Tan Shen politely said, "May I ask what the training schedule is tomorrow?"

Mantou: "Weighted runs!"

Tan Shen: "Alright, thank you sir."

As Mantou left dragging the suitcase, Gu Beihuai called out, "Remember to return them to me when you leave!"

Mantou waved his hand without turning his head.

Return them?

He'll just burn them all later!

Tan Shen smiled and said, "The Heavenly King Gu brought a whole suitcase full of books? That's really admirable."

Gu Beihuai said: "They just got confiscated anyway."

Having said that, he went to bed to sleep.

Tan Shen knew this person didn't want to chat further. He smiled and went to bed too.

Except Gu Beihuai was really going to sleep.

Whereas Tan Shen buried his head under the blanket, put on his earpiece and started researching.

His phone screen was filled with information about Nan XiangWan!

Tan Shen kept searching, thoroughly analyzing everything about Nan XiangWan.

One piece of information he found to be most useful.

Nan XiangWan devoted herself fully to one romantic interest.

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

Mantou dragged the suitcase downstairs as he left the dormitory building.

He resided in the higher ranking officers' dormitory in another building.

It was late into the night at this time.

In the distance under a lamp post, Sun Hui was secretly vomiting while avoiding everyone!

The moment Nan XiangWan's fist struck his back yesterday, his stomach started churning violently.

He nearly had internal injuries!

But Sun Hui was the superior officer and also the person in charge of this training. He couldn't reveal anything in front of everyone.

So Sun Hui held it in the entire time, until all the others went back to the dormitories to rest. Only then did he start looking for a spot to vomit.

He felt too awful, throwing up everything he ate for dinner.

There were even traces of blood mixed in!

The power behind Nan XiangWan's punch was truly formidable and terrifying.

Sun Hui nearly fainted from vomiting too hard.

Just when he was heaving with immense relief, feeling much better.

Mantou's voice came from behind, laced with a trace of excitement and mockery, "Sun Hui? What are you doing?!"

Sun Hui: "!!! What are you doing here?"

Mantou started walking over, "Don't tell me you vomited from getting beaten up?"

Sun Hui: "Damn! Don't come over!"

Mantou: "No way, I have to come take a look. Gotta show concern for my comrade-in-arms right? Need me to send you to the infirmary?"

Sun Hui: "Keep quiet! Urp——"

Mantou: "Hahahahaha, I can't believe you actually vomited from the beating hahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

----------------

The next day.

Since there was no flight training, the assembly time was after daybreak.

Everyone had a good sleep.

This time during assembly, no one dared to be late again, they practically rushed out for fear of falling behind.

Especially the actress troupe, as though their lives were on the line not to lag.

Long Yue looked at the four standing neatly in formation and nodded with approval.

Nan XiangWan had always been great. The other three finally learned how to stand properly too.

Once everyone swiftly finished assembling, they headed to breakfast together.

Nan XiangWan was still the big eater. And the others tried their best to eat more too.

After breakfast, they took a short break before assembling again.

Sun Hui stood in front of everyone.

Sun Hui: "This morning's training content: 35 kg weighted run, 20 km! Begin!"

Swoosh!

Equipment weighing 35 kg each portion was already prepared neatly on the ground, ready to be carried on the back.

The airmen were used to this 35 kg weight from long-term training. Running 20 km with it on was nothing out of the ordinary for them.

But for the actors, the numbers nearly frightened them to death!

35 kg? 20 km?

Was that something humans could accomplish?!

At this time Sun Hui looked towards the actors, "First time weighted run, 3 km, 2 kg."

The actors were relieved, thank goodness.

After putting on the gear, it really was just 2 kg.

Sun Hui: "I'll lead the new recruits today. Long Yue, rejoin the squad!"

Long Yue: "Yes sir!" Great!

Mantou held back his laugh amongst the squad. It sounded nice to say you're leading the newbies, but weren't you just afraid of taking another beating yesterday? Haha!

As for Nan XiangWan and Gu Beihuai, neither belonged with the new recruits. They carried the full 35 kg weight like the airmen, running the 20 km.
