Chapter 187 - Offending the Whole World
Chapter 187: Offending the Whole World (Part one)
Due to the limited budget of the show, they couldn’t provide accommodations outside of the military region as well as the pick-up and drop-off service, so the entire crew, including the celebrities, all moved into a two-story dormitory that was temporarily cleaned up and made available for them.
All the males would live on the first floor, and the females would live on the second floor. The beds were all the iron-framed bunks standard in the army.
After Xu Cheng got them moved in, he led Lin Chuxue and the other three females to the second floor to a room on the far left that had the view of the entire practice field of the military region.
The crew didn’t start filming when the other people moved in, but when the celebrities moved in, the cameras began rolling, documenting everything from the very beginning of the move in.
“After joining the army, no one is different from others. Here, you should always be prepared to contribute to the nation instead of being on vacation. I don’t know if you all can adapt to the conditions here. If you can’t, just let the production crew know in advance. I will be very strict when the training begins.”
Liu Ziqi and the other actresses playfully stuck out their tongues.
Lin Chuxue smiled at Xu Cheng and asked, “How strict?”
That look was very subtle, as if she was saying to Xu Cheng: if you dare to be strict with me, you can kneel on a durian when you go home.
The sudden question made Xu Cheng become a bit awkward, not knowing how to respond. The cameras were also on Xu Cheng, and they even added the “shy” after-effect onto his face. Xu Cheng would for sure cough up blood if he were to see this episode when it airs, as it completely ruined his “true man” image.
“You will find out when the training begins tomorrow,” Xu Cheng smiled and replied.
Lin Chuxue was already prepared to endure the hardship coming into the military. This time, she really just wanted to experience life in the barracks with Xu Cheng. She wanted to get to understand the other side of Xu Cheng, and she wanted to know how his days were in the military over the last few years.
Immediately, she raised her brows and said, “Bring it on.”
Downstairs, Guo Hao pretended to go to the bathroom, and when his agent followed him to a corner, he immediately asked him, “You said Lin Chuxue rarely interacts with guys, and she doesn’t even have any male friends, but how come it feels like she knows that Instructor Xu from a long time ago?”
The agent frowned. “Then you are probably overthinking this. She indeed had very few scandals in the past, and even the employees at her company says she rarely interacts with guys in her company.”
Guo Hao nodded, and then he looked in Yan Xian’s direction. “This guy’s clearly here for Lin Chuxue as well.”
The agent immediately said, “Hao, don’t try to go against him head on. Right now, you are still at the starting stage, and his popularity and resources are a lot more dense than you. Don’t let the media catch wind of how you guys aren’t getting along, it won’t be good for you. This is also what our company’s management is advising.”
Guo Hao: “I know. When the training starts, I will see how well a 30-something-year-old guy can perform.”
Yan Xian waited outside of the dormitory for his agent to drive the RV in. Then, he loudly announced to the entire crew, “I brought some food, come and let’s eat together if you haven’t had lunch already.”
Seeing how generous he was, the production crew all came out to the RV. Then, Yan Xian carried a few bento boxes with him and went up to Lin Chuxue and the others’ room. “Are you guys hungry? Here, I brought some for you all.”
Then, he handed the food to the three female celebrities. When Lin Chuxue took the food, she said thanks.

Yan Xian also handed a box to the agent, Sister Lei. When it was just Xu Cheng left, Yan Xian awkwardly said, “Instructor Xu, I’m sorry, I think my assistant didn’t buy enough.”
“It’s fine, there’s a cafeteria in the camp,” Xu Cheng looked at him and said, “Mr. Yan Xian, right? It’s fine for today, but starting from tomorrow, since you guys are in the army, I hope everyone can get used to going to the cafe together to dine and not make exceptions to buy food from outside. Here, others want to see your hard work and sweat, not you enjoying your time here.”
Yan Xian actually really wanted to throw a tantrum, but there was a camera recording on the side, so he smiled awkwardly and replied, “Alright, I will remember.”
“Instructor Xu, did you eat yet?” Lin Chuxue asked before opening the bento box.
Xu Cheng: “It’s fine, you guys eat here, I will go to the cafeteria now.”
“Then I will come with you. Since we will be dining there in the next few days, I will just try to get used to it first,” Lin Chuxue said as she passed her bento box to her agent and left with Xu Cheng.
A hint of discomfort flashed past Yan Xian’s face, stemming more from anger.
When Xu Cheng went down the stairs and saw Lin Chuxue following him, he didn’t forget to tease her, “The food here at the army indeed doesn’t taste as good as the food from outside, don’t force yourself if you can’t eat it.”
Lin Chuxue walked up to his side and replied, “We should always try something that we haven’t tried before, right?”
Xu Cheng smiled. “The food at the cafeteria might be a bix mixed, but every time after training when you are starving, it will taste really good. Oh right, does that guy have a crush on you or something?”

Lin Chuxue chuckled and looked at Xu Cheng a bit teasingly. “There are just too many guys that have a crush on me, what are you going to do about it?”
“I will let those I didn’t see go, but in my territory, he better behave. The guys from the Xu Family all have a crazy gene passed down through the generations.”
Lin Chuxue: “What do you mean?”
Xu Cheng said as he kept on walking, “My dad can do crazy things for my mom, like offending the Ye Family, I can probably do something crazy for my woman too.”
Lin Chuxue looked at him with a gentle smile. “Like?”
Xu Cheng gave her a look. “Like offending the whole world!”
Lin Chuxue’s smile got brighter. “Would that woman be me?”
Xu Cheng couldn’t help but tease her a bit. “What do you think?”
Lin Chuxue began laughing upon hearing this. The two walked side by side, shoulder to shoulder, as if they had gone back to their highschool days. The sunlight landed on them, stacking the shadows of those two on top of each other.
The military region’s cafeteria was divided into several areas, after all, there were over 50 thousand soldiers on the grounds and they couldn’t all be crammed into one place. There were about 5 thousand elite soldiers in the special ops division, so the cafeteria was quite large.
When Xu Cheng brought Lin Chuxue into the cafe, those soldiers that were just gobbling up the food with big mouthfuls immediately sprayed out the rice. They immediately changed their posture and began eating like gentlemen, with chopsticks.
Xu Cheng knew how these guys would be acting, so he immediately said to those that sprayed out rice from their mouths, “Those that waste food, ten laps right now!”
At the next instant, the soldiers that sprayed out rice immediately began picking up the rice on their table and stuffing it back into their mouths. It was quite evident that those guys were all pretty scared of Xu Cheng.
Lin Chuxue asked him curiously, “They seem to be afraid of you?”
Xu Cheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Yesterday, I accidentally hospitalized the hero they look up to, so now they are all a bit scared of me.”
