Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Drawing Wire

After lights out, the dormitory fell silent, its quiet only broken by the occasional rustle of movement.

"Hey, are you guys asleep?"

Xiang Mo turned over slightly and poked his head up to look at the two people next to him on the upper bunk.

Jiang Mian and Yu Xinting said in unison, "No."

The three of them, perhaps excited about returning home the next day, suddenly found themselves unable to sleep.

"Speaking of which, I’ve never asked why you guys signed up for this reality show."

There was a moment of silence in the room before Yu Xinting spoke up: "The production team contacted me directly, and my agent was also considering it; they thought there was no need for me to participate."

"But my resources were never that good, and the popularity of the reality show is indeed very high; it might bring some traffic, so they were quite conflicted."

She continued, "Eventually I came, thinking it was just some military training, but I didn’t expect..."

Yu Xinting didn’t finish her sentence, as everyone clearly understood what kind of training it had been.

Xiang Mo self-mockingly said with some sorrow, "At that time, I had no other shows and was insanely bored. Many people were reluctant to come, so I took it on."

"Jiang Mian, what about you? I really didn’t expect you to join."

Yu Xinting also propped up her head, "+1, quite surprising."

Jiang Mian sighed deeply, "My agent sent me here on a ’transformation trip,’ more said, more tears."

"Hahahahaha."

Both of them hadn’t expected Jiang Mian to say that.

"I didn’t expect your agent to treat you like that."

"My second mom."

There was a sense of helplessness yet indulgence in Jiang Mian’s tone.

The three of them were enjoying their chat, unaware that the camera was still recording...

Early the next morning

At the base entrance

"Captain Fu, I’ll miss you. We’ll keep in touch, you know," Wei Zhouchen said, hugging Fu Sichen a bit tighter than usual, causing everyone to smile wryly.

Fu Sichen patted his shoulder, "It’s not like we won’t see each other. You guys get some good rest when you’re back. I won’t be holding back next time."

"Especially you, Wei Zhouchen!"

Wei Zhouchen saluted seriously: "Yes! Captain Fu! I promise not to disappoint you."

"Ladies and gentlemen, our time is about up, and Captain Fu and his team need to return to their unit."

A faint, unusual emotion flickered in Fu Sichen’s dark eyes: "Mm, take care on the way."

When Jiang Mian and Fu Sichen’s gazes met, both paused for a second before quickly looking away.

The soldiers from the unit watched their car leave, and as Jiang Mian gazed out the window at the passing scenery, she felt a sense of loss.

Kind of missing that jerk already.

I used to come and go so freely.

Just don’t know when the next meeting will be.

"Oh my gosh, Miss, how did you get so tanned?"

Jiang Mian’s mood instantly lightened upon seeing her best friend and agent.

She rolled her eyes, got into the nanny van, and immediately closed her eyes to rest: "Don’t bother me, I’m dead tired."

Su Lixing, holding a bouquet, sat in the back, "I personally contacted Sister Ting to come pick you up together, and this is how you treat me?"

"I’ve been watching the live stream every day; the way Captain Fu looked at you, tsk tsk tsk, totally came off."

Su Lixing was still reminiscing about their interactions and added, "Even candied sweet potatoes couldn’t stretch like you two."

At the mention of candied sweet potatoes, Jiang Mian swallowed and struggled to open her eyes, "What are we eating later? I’m a bit hungry."

She spoke while casting a pitiful glance at Luo Ting sitting beside her.

"Alright, alright, let’s get you something to eat; it’s not like I said you couldn’t."

"With the acting you’re doing, it’d really be a crime if you didn’t win Movie Queen. But just for today, remember we have several business meetings and auditions in the next few days, and we still need to discuss the script."

In just two days, Jiang Mian had managed to mobilize her extensive fan base.

The number of fans and topic followers kept growing, even prompting the emergence of leading fans and support groups.

Luo Ting hadn’t expected it to happen so fast; they had to rush a few promotional announcements overnight and even boosted several trending topics.

"Mm..."

Jiang Mian nodded slightly, clinging to her last few moments of consciousness.
