210 I Love You, But I Donst Dare to Let You Know 11 (2/2)
Training overseas was different from training in the facilities within the boot camp.
The conditions there were not as good. An Xiaoning did not think it was that bad as she grew up on the mountains and it could not have possibly compared to the harsh conditions then.
Perhaps because she did not have to see Jin Qingyan, An Xiaoning felt that the tough days passed incredibly fast.
Day after day passed.
Even though Jin Qingyan would not be able to come, and Lin Mingxi would not get to see him, she still continued to persevere every day. Maybe because she did not want to lose to An Xiaoning, no matter how many times An Xiaoning trained every day, she would do the same.
It was to the point that Chen Xu could not help but remark, ”If Lin Mingxi can hang in there until the very last day, Ms. An, you'll have played an important role in it.”
”Right, I guess I must take some credit.”
Lin Mingxi naturally refused to admit it. ”I train for myself, what has it got to do with her?”
An Xiaoning stuck out her tongue at her. ”Of course, it has nothing to do with me, Ms. Lin.”
For more than one month, the two did not get along harmoniously. They were obviously averse to each other but had to have a verbal battle every day.
It was soon July and the last day of training. The following day, they would all return to A City.
When the training ended, everyone gathered together to celebrate. Everyone was exhausted, apart from the two coaches and Jin Nana, who had withdrawn and did not take part in the training.
”Now that it's ended, everyone should say a few heartfelt words. Da Long and Xiao Long, tell us why both of you had wanted to join the devil training camp.” Chen Xu raised his glass.
Everyone clinked their glasses. Da Long was more extroverted while Xiao Long was on the shy side.
”My brother and I joined the devil training camp mainly because my younger brother is too shy and can't persevere in anything he does. Thus, my parents and I discussed and we signed up for this. In the end, it has been pretty good. He and I can persevere until now, it means that he has challenged himself.”
Everyone applauded, and Jin Shan asked Lin Mingxi, ”How about you?”
”Me? I'm just here to play.” Lin Mingxi saw the look of doubt on everyone's faces and laughed. ”I came because Jin Qingyan was here. But unexpectedly, I could survive 'til the end. It wasn't too bad.”
When it came to An Xiaoning and Mei Yangyang, An Xiaoning took the initiative to say, ”Yangyang was brought here by me, to accompany me in a way. I came to learn how to protect myself, that's all.”
When it was Shi Bin's turn, the usually silent man suddenly said something that made everyone speechless. ”I came because I was beaten by my ex-wife's lover. I've never beaten someone back, so I came here.”
”…”
Lin Mingxi almost choked. ”You're already so rich, your ex-wife still went to look for a lover?”
”Being rich and finding another lover are not related.” He raised his glass and swallowed it in one gulp.
After a moment of awkward silence, everyone started raising their glasses again.
After having dinner and drinking, everyone went to rest.
An Xiaoning slept alone in one room.
Before she slept, she was still thinking about whether she would start getting harassed by someone again after returning to A City the following morning.
In her sleep, she felt someone touching her face. After waking up in shock, she realized that the sensation still felt extremely real and that it was not a hallucination she had after drinking.
In those moments, a hand was really touching her face.
Could it be that Jin Qingyan had sneaked in at this time of night?
An Xiaoning slowly opened her eyes. The room was in complete darkness as it was past midnight already.
She looked at the figure before the bed and checked multiple times before realizing in alarm that the person was not Jin Qingyan!
