The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 247

Gu Beihuai reached out and held the hand covering his own eyes.

The hand was much smaller than his, very soft.

How could such small hands climb trees, shoot guns, and even handle a single-fingered Russian machine gun?

Strange thoughts flashed through Gu Beihuai's mind for a moment.

Nan XiangWan felt that something was wrong. The warmth emanating from this person in front of her was so comforting!

Just like when she faced Xin Zi, she wanted to act coquettish and willful.

Nan XiangWan was shocked.

Gu Beihuai, you don't think of her as your mother, do you?!

So Nan XiangWan swiftly pulled her hand back, scaring him. She didn't want to be anyone's mother.

What exactly made Gu Beihuai misunderstand and feel a maternal attachment towards her?

Gu Beihuai felt a momentary disappointment, but he wasn't in a hurry.

Take it slow.

Tan Shen, who was being stepped on the ground, was extremely uncomfortable. That foot felt like a mountain pressing down on him. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free or get up.

It was suffocating!

Gu Beihuai sensed the movement of the person on the ground and spoke, "Let go."

Nan XiangWan frowned and looked down.

A hint of killing intent flickered in her eyes.

[Ding!]

[The host must not commit a crime!]

Annoying.

If she didn't want to kill, she wouldn't kill.

She released her foot, and in the next second...

Swish!

Tan Shen suddenly bounced up and started running.

He was caught in the act, but...

He could run!

Nan XiangWan had no intention of chasing him at all. She rolled her eyes.

Useless!

If it weren't for the dog, do you think you would still be alive?

He dared to run.

Gu Beihuai: "I'm fine, you can go to sleep."

Nan XiangWan nodded and turned to leave.

Comrades are not fools, and they have strong combat abilities. She didn't need to worry too much.

But when she returned to her sleeping bag, Nan XiangWan adjusted its position to face Gu Beihuai.

Next time, if something happens, she will rush over immediately.

Comrades with poor eyesight are a weakness!

...

Gu Beihuai stayed in place quietly for a while, then blinked.

He smiled and said, "Come out, Tan Shen."

There was indeed no way to convict him for his recent actions, but he had definitely offended someone to death.

A complete exposure!

Tan Shen, hidden in the distance, felt a tremor in his heart, but he still wanted to take a risk.

So he came out, smiling warmly, "What's wrong, King Gu? I just went out for a walk. How did you know I was here?"

Tan Shen was extremely nervous but also surprised.

Gu Beihuai, can you see now or not?

And what exactly did he see earlier?

Tan Shen really wanted to know!

And Nan XiangWan...

Nan XiangWan had good eyesight, she saw it, but why didn't she react or call someone to expose him?

What were these two people thinking?

Tan Shen couldn't understand this state of mind, feeling extremely uneasy.

Gu Beihuai turned to face him, his gaze calm. "You're just someone who came up the mountain, how dare you provoke a god coming down the mountain?"

Tan Shen's pupils contracted for a moment, his heart pounding!

What did that mean?

He didn't even ask about what had just happened?

After saying that, Gu Beihuai laid back down and slept peacefully.

The little pup would protect him!

As for you, Tan Shen...

Your inner fear has long robbed you of the courage to take action.

Petty person and a hero.

The contrast between Tan Shen and Nan XiangWan is particularly strong!

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

4 a.m. the next day.

Sun Hui promptly began waking everyone up, pulling them out of their sleeping bags one by one.

"Wake up! Assemble! Let's go!"

Today, the goal is to hike all the way back and conclude this wilderness survival training.

He never wants to bring new recruits again. It's exhausting.

Nan XiangWan packed up her sleeping bag and went to Gu Beihuai's side first. She saw him with a calm expression, shouldering his backpack and heading towards the inner circle.

Nan XiangWan tilted her head, his eyes recovered?

Once Sun Hui quickly organized everyone, they set off.

Breakfast?

Take advantage of the fact that they just woke up and aren't fully awake yet, and walk a few kilometers on foot!

They'll eat when they're completely awake and their stomachs start growling.

And so, a group of actors embarked on the journey in confusion, like machines rushing forward.

Tan Shen was among them, unusually silent, and reducing his presence in a way he had never done before.

He didn't know what Nan XiangWan and Gu Beihuai were thinking deep down, precisely because he didn't know, he couldn't guess.

It was terrifying!

A night passed, and neither of them responded.

Something's not right!

This time, Nan XiangWan didn't rush ahead but walked side by side with Gu Beihuai.

The two walked at the back, and Gu Beihuai kept looking at her with a smile.

Nan XiangWan couldn't stand being stared at and leaned in, whispering, "Gu Beihuai, I know about your feelings towards me, but I really can't accept it."

Gu Beihuai's smile vanished suddenly, replaced by a flicker of disappointment and hurt in his eyes.

Are you rejecting him?

But he clearly...

Never asked for anything.

Nan XiangWan continued, "You can't treat me like your mother! Although I know the Oedipus complex can manifest in certain circumstances, you should understand that it's abnormal and perverse! And I, I won't adopt a son!"

She couldn't understand it either. She didn't have an overflowing maternal love, yet Gu Beihuai's gaze last night was truly chilling.

Gu Beihuai was dumbfounded on the spot!

What the hell?

What mother?

Oedipus complex?

This is madness!

He doesn't have a maternal complex!

He doesn't look at you like he looks at his mother!

You, how is your brain wired!

Gu Beihuai was on the verge of going crazy. After struggling with inner turmoil for a long time, he finally fell silent.

This kid's mind is twisted beyond words. He'll have to change it with his actions.

Gu Beihuai let out a deep sigh.

Why did things deviate further and further from the track?

How did this misunderstanding arise?!

...

During breakfast and the subsequent morning hike and lunch, Nan XiangWan maintained her distance from Gu Beihuai.

In short, she won't raise a son!

Gu Beihuai was also helpless. It's over, he can't explain it clearly anymore.

As for Tan Shen, he was constantly on edge, his gaze always shifting between the two.

A night went by, and the two of them acted as if nothing had happened!

Why is there absolutely no inclination to hold him accountable?

Instead, they flirted and even had time for small lover's quarrels.

Are they mocking him?

Tan Shen's hatred reached its peak in an instant!

...

The remaining journey was still a struggle for the group of actors, but fortunately, yesterday's 15-kilometer foundation paved the way for a relatively smooth journey today.

Finally, at two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone trekked back to the base on foot!

They arrived!

The joy of success overshadowed their exhaustion.

The actors began to cheer and even embraced each other with emotion.

Three actresses burst into tears, feeling incredible.

Finally, everyone understood the significance of the wilderness survival training. At this moment, they seemed to be united in heart, sharing a common goal and achieving it.

This sense of honor cannot be replicated.

Ji Jirou rushed to Tan Shen, wanting to give him a high-five!

Little did she know, she met Tan Shen's icy gaze.

Ji Jirou was startled. "Is Teacher Tan Shen feeling unwell?"

Zhu Yun said, "Teacher Tan Shen hasn't had any water all along. Let's go back and rest."

Tan Shen forced a perfunctory smile and left ahead of them.

Gu Beihuai turned around to find the director, Feng Kai Ji, to vent his frustration.

Nan XiangWan, on the other hand, started shouting, "My phone! Give me back my phone!"

It contained her college entrance exam results!
