Chapter 657: Chapter 655: Can’t I Even Surpass Xia Ningxing?_1

All mobile phones and other communication devices were confiscated.

Mo Xue, as obsequious as ever, kept fanning Bei’an non-stop, even though she herself was drenched in sweat.

Jiang Miaomiao seemed like a girl who could endure harsh environments, as she fell asleep without a care in the world.

Xia Ningxing lay on the bed, unable to help but wonder what Lu Tingli and Chuanchuan were doing at the moment.

There was only a two-hour time difference between UA and Star Shine, so it should be six o’clock in the afternoon in Star Shine, with the sun still high in the sky.

Chuanchuan might be reading, or maybe playing puzzles with Little Sweetie and her sister.

As for Lu Tingli, he must be busy with work.

Thinking of the father and son, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile, and soon after, she too drifted into dreamland.

A good night’s sleep.

When they woke up the next day, Xia Ningxing and Jiang Miaomiao folded their blankets and headed to the canteen.

Everyone clearly looked listless, eating without appetite or energy.

"Do your bodies feel sore?"

"Don’t even mention it, it’s both sore and painful, totally unbearable."

"With such intense exercise yesterday, our muscles are definitely strained, it would be weird not to feel pain!"

"The problem is, yesterday was only the first day, and the first day was so painful and tough, I really don’t know how we’re going to get through the next few days."

"Just grit your teeth and bear it, otherwise, we can’t just give up, can we?"

The girls discussed it among themselves, sighing.

Jiang Miaomiao poked at the fried egg in front of her, and couldn’t help feeling puzzled, "Is everyone this uncomfortable? Why do I feel as light as a feather, without any discomfort at all?"

After saying this, she couldn’t help but look at the person opposite her, "Ningxing, how about you? Are your back and legs sore too?"

"I’m okay," Xia Ningxing took a sip of her milk tea.

"We are indeed lucky, both of us not feeling much discomfort!" Jiang Miaomiao smiled happily.

However, this girl’s smile didn’t last long.

Because today’s training was even more intense than yesterday’s.

The coach blew the whistle, "Attention everyone, at ease, left turn, let’s start with a two-kilometer warm-up run!"

Two kilometers, just for a warm-up?

Go to hell!

Everyone couldn’t help but greet the coach’s family warmly in their hearts.

Curse as they might, they still had to run the two kilometers.

After all, the leading role was still ahead, waiting for them.

Having barely finished the two kilometers, the coach said, "Attention everyone! Get up and regroup! Continue training!"

The actors who had just sat down to rest couldn’t help but wail, "Can’t we get a moment to breathe?"

"No!" the coach replied coldly and mercilessly, then added, "Line up immediately, or it will be considered a forfeiture!"

Another threat of forfeiture!

These words were everyone’s lifeline. Now, the actors who had just been complaining about the demand got up from the ground as quickly as possible and regrouped.

The coach said, "Next, we’ll do a hundred-meter frog leap, two hundred push-ups, three hundred meters of hurdle drills, five hundred meters of pole weaving..."

The coach listed a whole bunch of today’s training activities in one breath.

Everyone couldn’t help but widen their eyes in disbelief.

Even Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her lips as she mused that at this rate of training, they could all become guards.

During the training, Director Carl was holding a cup of tea, watching from the sidelines.

To others, these trainings might be tough and exhausting, but for someone with extraordinary strength and a body cultivated with medicines all year round, it was really a piece of cake.

So when Xia Ningxing got to the last item, some people had only just finished the first.

Although Xia Ningxing had said she needed to hide her strength, it only meant not tossing cars with her bare hands or beating up a bunch of big guys in one fell swoop—those sorts of superheroic feats.

It didn’t mean she had to hide her strength during the training itself.

"Reporting to the instructor, I’ve finished my training," Xia Ningxing said, raising her hand to her cap brim in a salute, after completing the tasks.

The instructor nodded, "Okay, you can rest now."

"Thank you, instructor!" Xia Ningxing found a shaded spot to sit down.

Before long, a figure approached her, "Your name is Xia Ningxing, right? You have good physical fitness."

It was Director Carl speaking. He handed Xia Ningxing a bottle of ice water as he spoke, "You must be thirsty after training for so long, drink this."

"Thank you, Director." Indeed very thirsty, Xia Ningxing didn’t bother pretending and took the bottle, unscrewing the cap and drinking it straight down.

Director Carl looked around once more, the corners of his lips barely concealing a smile, clearly very satisfied with Xia Ningxing.

The other female actors who were still training saw that Director Carl and Xia Ningxing were chatting and laughing, and jealousy nearly caused their eyes to pop out of their heads.

"How can Xia Ningxing have so much stamina?"

"This is the second time Director Carl has praised her!"

"I’m so envious that she’s caught the eye of Director Carl!"

"Looks like the lead role for ’Desert Island Adventure’ is going to be Xia Ningxing, no doubt about it!"

"There’s nothing we can do if our physical fitness doesn’t measure up to hers. But I’ve heard the second and third female leads are also very well-defined characters, let’s at least try to get those roles."

"Yeah."

While they trained, they couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.

Mo Xue glanced over at Bei’an.

As expected, the latter looked very upset.

After all, among all the candidates, she had the biggest fame and backing, and good physical strength. She had been full of confidence that she would definitely win the lead role, but now Xia Ningxing had emerged as a dark horse. Who could tolerate that?

A sly smile curled Mo Xue’s lips as she whispered to Bei’an with a subdued voice, "Senior, when do you plan to take care of Xia Ningxing? And how? She’s getting more and more in the way. What if Director Carl decides on her for the lead role?"

She deliberately said these things to provoke Bei’an.

"Don’t worry about things that aren’t your concern," Bei’an returned a cold glance at her.

How could she possibly tell her the details of her plans to harm others? If she turned against her, took the information to the media, would she still care about her reputation?

"Sorry, Senior. It was out of turn for me to say that," Mo Xue quickly apologized, yet resentment simmered in her heart as she inwardly cursed ’bitch’.

Bei’an didn’t pay her any further attention and instead cast a resentful glance in Xia Ningxing’s direction.

Xia Ningxing, don’t blame me. Blame your own excellence for standing in my way!

After the day ended, Mo Xue saw Bei’an somehow got her hands on a phone and was making a call in a low voice.

It went without saying, it had to be about dealing with Xia Ningxing!

Mo Xue couldn’t help but curl her lips.

Indeed, Bei’an was preparing to have someone take care of Xia Ningxing.

"You fool, Handsome Guy, I’m telling you, you’re going to lose the bet you made with Lu Fan!" At that moment, Bei’an went to a secluded place and spoke coldly.

The person named Handsome Guy on the other end of the phone was taken aback and asked instinctively, "Anan, what are you talking about? You’re so skilled and have had training since you were young, can’t you outdo Xia Ningxing?"
