The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 224: I Get Excited when I Run.



Chapter 224

Ji Jirou was still indignant and went to eat lunch with the actors.

Hua Ying felt this group of people was a bit annoying, wasting time, so she simply ate alone.

At this time, Nan Xiangwan carried a large food bowl and sat down opposite her.

Soon after, Gu Beihuai also sat down with his own lunch.

Hua Ying looked at the two people opposite her, her gaze shifting between Nan Xiangwan and Gu Beihuai's faces.

Then she lowered her head to eat!

Next to them was a table with 9 actors.

Ji Jirou gestured with her eyes and whispered, "She really doesn't understand the situation. Is she trying to oppose others in the crew?"

Tan Shen: "Director Luo said not to mention this anymore. Let's just eat."

Ji Jirou: "Teacher Tan Shen, aren't you angry? She wasted so much of our time!"

Tan Shen: "It's true that we were overthinking things when we went to find her. She didn't know we were in a hurry."

Ji Jirou: "Teacher Tan Shen, you don't have to keep defending her! She's not at all grateful, her attitude is still so bad! I really don't know how she became popular, it makes me angry just thinking about it..."

The others didn't speak, just lowered their heads to eat.

The only sound at the table was Ji Jirou's endless vilification.

After lunch there was break time, and everyone returned to their dorms.

Nan Xiangwan had eaten a lot and hadn't gone back yet.

Gu Beihuai was accompanying her to eat, occasionally giving her some flying tips.

Hua Ying was shocked to overhear this!

How did Gu Beihuai even know about fighter jets?

Nan Xiangwan's eyes shone brightly: "Have you flown before?"

Gu Beihuai didn't answer, and continued: "It's best if there's no discomfort at all. Usually air force pilots have up to 3 months of zero-gravity training before their first flight, which you've skipped over, indicating excellent physical fitness indeed."

Nan Xiangwan: "Hehe! Of course my body is good!"

Of course, why did she get up early to work out these past few months?

She worked hard!

Seeing the two still chatting, Hua Ying got up: "I'm done eating, take your time talking."

Nan Xiangwan: "Okay, see you later Teacher Hua."

Hua Ying: "Just call me Sister Hua Ying, no need to call me teacher. If you call me teacher, should I call you Teacher Nan Xiangwan too?"

Nan Xiangwan: "Oh, Sister Hua Ying."

Hua Ying: "Alright, I'm leaving."

With just the two left at the table, Gu Beihuai was noticeably more talkative, and fighter jet topics kept coming out one after another.

Nan Xiangwan listened longingly!

...

In the dorms.

The actress had finished eating long ago and were doing skincare.

They didn't have training in the morning either and got up early, so after finishing skincare they wanted to sleep.

But next to them the female soldiers were chatting about interesting things from flight training.

Ji Jirou and Zhu Yun looked at each other, completely unable to understand.

Only one word that kept popping up caught their attention.

"That newcomer is really amazing, she could get out of the cockpit herself after her first flight."

"I think she jumped out! When she landed she was bouncing around full of energy, without any discomfort at all."

"So impressive, I remember when I first got off I could barely stand, my legs were so weak."

"Her physique really is great! And guts too!"

"It's a pity she's an actress instead of joining our forces, what a talent!"

Just then Hua Ying happened to come back and overheard their conversation.

Hua Ying's eyes lit up: "Are you guys talking about Nan Xiangwan? She flew in a fighter jet today?"

The female soldiers nodded, chattering all at once.

"Yes! A tandem fighter, flew for ten minutes!"

"Lieutenant Mantou took her, checked her afterwards and she had zero issues."

"Is she called Nan Xiangwan? We don't have phones in the barracks so we don't follow celebrities, don't recognize her."

"Has she served in the military before?"

"I also feel she's like a fish in water here!"

Hua Ying asked curiously: "What's it feel like to ride in a fighter jet? Like a rollercoaster?"

The female soldiers burst out laughing on the spot.

"Haha, way more thrilling than a rollercoaster!"

"I went to an amusement park with my little nephew on vacation before, rode a rollercoaster the whole time without feeling anything."

"Compared to a fighter jet, things like bungee jumping or rollercoasters really don't feel like anything."

Hua Ying: "Damn! That awesome? Can I ride in a fighter jet too?"

The female soldier looked Hua Ying up and down, then shook her head: "You probably can't, the requirements for fighter pilots are very strict, with height and weight standards."

Hua Ying: "But Nan Xiangwan is so skinny!"

Female soldier: "She just looks skinny, her weight is standard."

Hua Ying said disappointedly: "So you mean no excess fat anywhere?"

Ji Jirou and Zhu Yun simultaneously ripped off their face masks.

They really didn't expect that not only did Nan Xiangwan show up first, she even kept up with the air force's flight training?

She rode in a fighter jet!

Damn!

They didn't even dare imagine it!

...

In the male soldiers' dorm.

Many people in the hallway were talking about the newcomer's flight that morning.

So the male actors got wind of it too.

They were shocked, just shocked.

They thought Nan Xiangwan was afraid of the tough training and ran away, but instead she rode in a fighter jet?!

The moment Tan Shen heard this news, his fist unconsciously clenched tight.

But he quickly relaxed, resuming his gentle smile.

Tan Shen: "Nan Xiangwan is really amazing!"

The other male actors all nodded.

"Yeah! We were too petty."

"I really didn't expect it, if it were me I'd probably piss myself from fear up there!"

"Haha don't even think about it, with your physique who knows if you'd pass the physical to get on a fighter jet."

"True...I'm thinking too much!"

"Anyway, Nan Xiangwan is badass!"

"Fighter jet! So badass!"

Tan Shen continued smiling: "Mm, very impressive."

The afternoon training was ground crew physical training.

Assemble at 2 PM!

No one was late this time, the actors didn't dare violate taboos again.

They didn't finish those 100 pushups in the morning, hoping it wouldn't come up.

And so the 12 training actors stood in formation, working hard to blend in with those around them.

Nan Xiangwan stood in the second row, posture standard.

Sun Hui came to inspect and shook his head.

He shouted loudly: "Tan Shen, out! Ji Jirou, out! Zhu Yun, out! Hua Ying, out..."

He called out 10 names in a row, all 10 actors were singled out.

Ji Jirou and Zhu Yun shivered in fear, thinking in their hearts that they were done for.

Sun Hui: "You ten, stand at attention! Long Yue supervise them, when you stand up to standard, you can proceed to the next item!"

Long Yue came out: "Yes sir!"

Although Tan Shen felt it unfair internally, he still obeyed.

Hua Ying didn't react much, just silently learning how to stand properly.

Ji Jirou and Zhu Yun let out a breath, it turned out it was just standing at attention, they thought it had to do with the 100 pushups from this morning.

Sun Hui: "The rest, 3000 meters, start!"

The formation immediately turned around and started running laps around the drill ground, chanting rhyhmically as they ran.

One two one, one two one.

Nan Xiangwan and Gu Beihuai blended into the formation, not standing out at all as they ran along.

Gu Beihuai didn't react much, his chanting was normal sounding.

But next to him, Nan Xiangwan...

"One two one!! One two one!!!"

Her shouts were so loud they nearly drowned out a large group of male soldiers.

Inside the formation, Mantou was dumbfounded hearing her voice.

It's just running laps, Nan Xiangwan why are you so excited?
