Ace of the Dragon Division

Chapter 178: I Do! (Part one)

Xu Cheng still didn’t want to do the reality show.
He said, “Big Bro, you know I came back this time for the competition, why are you telling me to do some TV show? Those celebrities are all spoiled, I don’t want to have to take care of them.”

The head instructor’s face was bitter.
“It’s still a month until the competition, and although I can’t make you the tactical core of the team, I can still guarantee you a spot.
But now, you saw as well, Hu Bing clearly can’t get along with you.
In this kind of situation, there are usually two options: you either beat him into submitting or vice versa.
Ultimately someone has to compromise.
However, this guy’s background isn’t simple.
Since the beginning, we constructed a game plan centering around him.
To be frank, it’s to give him a platform that functions like a springboard, and that’s the intention of those behind him.
They don’t need us to do anything else, as long as he behaves in the military camp, it won’t be too much trouble for us too.
That’s why I hesitated a bit when I heard that you were coming back.”

Xu Cheng came to the sudden realization.

“So, the participants list was already drafted a long time ago?”

The head instructor nodded and sighed, “I won’t keep this behind you since we are pretty tight, and I know you really want another chance to join that division, but the most I can do is to get you a spot, and Hu Bing has to be the captain.
This guy has a strong background and he wants to prove himself, so his family already came to greet us to make a game plan that centers around him for this year’s competition.
Even if you came back, he will still be the captain.”

Xu Cheng nodded.
“I understand, that’s fine, I can accept this.
I’m fine if they just let me train with them.”

“But you saw as well, this brat really doesn’t like you and he would rather train with just 14 people instead of including you.
A country can’t have two kings, so your situation is a bit awkward.
Also I forcefully put you onto the list, and Hu Bing wants to marginalize you.
I think you have to be prepared.”

Xu Cheng bitterly smiled.
“Do you have a cig?”

The head instructor took out a pack from his drawer and tossed it at him.
Xu Cheng took one out and lit it.
After awhile, he took a breath and said, “Big Bro, do you know that this time, to participate in this competition, I already declined invitations from 2 military regions?”

The head instructor paused for a moment.
He did indeed know that the 8th MR came over and tried to headhunt Xu Cheng, but there was one more?

“The head instructor from the 8th MR did indeed come before, who’s the other one?”

“The 13th MR,” replied Xu Cheng.

The head instructor’s eyes stared wide open.
“Why didn’t you accept? The 13th MR was in the top 3 last year! You could’ve had the best chance at winning the competition this year, are you stupid?!”

Xu Cheng: “I would be stupid if I went.
I grew up in the 5th MR, and if I won for another MR when I’m at my prime, wouldn’t that be ironic?”

The head instructor didn’t know what to say.
He bitterly laughed.
“What’s more ironic is that the 5th MR can’t even give you a promise right now, right? Brother, I wish I could do more, but you know our country places heavy emphasis on networks and backgrounds.
Sigh, if Hu Bing was not here, the 5th MR would for sure construct a game plan centered around you for your return, that’s undoubted, but…”

“I don’t care about those resources, even during competitions, I can listen to Hu Bing’s commands.
Just let me join them and train together,” said Xu Cheng.

The head instructor shook his head and said helplessly, “We only have the right to suggest and train them, as for what the team does, it’s all up to Hu Bing.
I already got scolded by the commander for squeezing you onto the list, and the situation will be worse for you if you don’t get along with Hu Bing during training.”

Xu Cheng lowered his head.
“I know now, thanks Big Bro.”

Head Instructor: “Don’t be discouraged, you can still train by yourself and everyone else is here to help.
Also, this time being the instructor for the reality TV Show was also me wanting to give you more opportunities to showcase your skills.
It won’t be filming every day so it won’t affect your training too much.
If the show does well, it will help a lot with recruiting next year, and that’s a way of contributing to the military region too.
Oh, this is the celebrity list that’s coming, take a look.
Their whole crew will be coming to station here in two days, make sure you give me a reply before tomorrow.”

Xu Cheng absent-mindedly took the list and walked out of the head instructor’s office.
He was planning to do great things after coming back, and he didn’t expect this kind of event right after his return.

Xu Cheng clenched his fist, looked at the starry sky, and said with determination, “Don’t want me to train with them? Whatever, solo works too, then I will show you all the absolute power of a soloing ace!”

Looking at the list, Xu Cheng suddenly paused for a moment.

He saw that the first special guest on this list was actually… Lin Chuxue!

Was this woman crazy? Coming to the military region to suffer? She had been spoiled since birth, when had she gone through hardships of this level?

Xu Cheng immediately went back to his dorm, took out his phone, and called Lin Chuxue.

On the other end, Lin Chuxue was in her condo creating music on the piano.
Hearing the phone ring, she turned to look at the caller ID.
Seeing the call coming from the contact nicknamed “Little Boy”, she smiled, picked up the phone, and gently answered, “Hello?”

“Why are you participating in the reality show? Not to mention it’s a hard one called ‘True Men’.”

Lin Chuxue chuckled.
“Are you surprised? I seemed to have grown up under extreme care, like a flower in a greenhouse.
I’ve never touched any of the events that were planned for this show, maybe I won’t be able to stand it.”

Xu Cheng: “Then why are you still joining?”

Lin Chuxue: “Because I’ve never tried any of it, and I want to give it a shot.
If you really want to ask why, then I can answer you.
Do you want to hear it?”

“Xu Cheng, let me try and learn more about you.” After hesitating for a moment, she softly said on the phone, “I want to go to the military and see how you lived these years, and I also want to see what kind of pain you had to endure to change into a new person.
I feel that if I don’t try to learn this part of you, I will regret later on missing out on something.”

Xu Cheng became silent on the phone.

On the other end, Lin Chuxue said, “If you always treat me like a goddess that’s out of your reach, I’m willing to cut off my wings or take off my crown and make myself ordinary.
The ordinary me, will you still like it?”

Xu Cheng’s eyes became slightly red, and he simply replied, “I do!”
