Chapter 472: Arrival

Translator: Lonelytree

There were a few times when Ding Cheng wanted to talk to Fang Ming. But Fang Ming kept his gaze on Pan Huang. Pan Huang was a senior and it was rude to stare but Fang Ming did not seem to care.

“Hey, do you want to play a game together?” Xiao Ran patted his shoulder. Ding Cheng was annoyed so he closed his eyes to rest.

Xiao Ran shook him but Ding Cheng didn’t respond. Pan Huang said, “Xiao Ran, stop disturbing him. Can’t you tell that he doesn’t want to talk to you?”

Ding Cheng agreed internally. He did not want to interact with him. He was at the height of his popularity, why would his agency shove him into a show like this? Whenever he thought about it, he felt wronged, angry and fearful. Rocked by the train, he fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes, it was already dark. The train attendant was giving out dinner boxes. The boxed meals were prepared on the train so they weren’t that delicious. Ding Chen took a glance at it and his appetite was gone. The rice and vegetable were all mixed together.

Xiao Ran noticed Ding Chen didn’t eat his portion so he finished Ding Chen’s food for him. Ding Chen felt pain in his waist, buttocks, and neck when it was around 9 pm. He turned to ask the director. “Director, when are we going to stop for sleep?”

The director glanced at Ding Chen. “We’re sleeping on the train. We’re showing the real military life.”

“Brother, I think we’ll arrive in an hour. Just chat, and play games with me, and we’ll be there before you know it!”

Ding Chen nearly fainted from anger having to deal with the inexplicably optimistic Xiao Ran.

“Speaking of, your surname is Xiao. Do you have any connection with Pearl River’s Xiao Family?” Fang Ming asked.

Xiao Ran answered, “Master Fang, that’s a misunderstanding. Xiao Ran is my stage name, my real surname is Xu.”

“Please don’t call me Master. You’re the real master here. You’ve achieved a lot despite your young age. I am nothing compared to you.” Fang Ming smiled. He had done his research before he got on the show. Xiao Ran came from an academic background. He had a star named after him and he was an AI research genius. He was also a famous scientist working on the space station. He joined the variety show out of patriotism.

Ding Chen glanced at Xiao Ran. Why is Fang Ming so polite towards this brat? Is he that impressive? How come I can’t see it?

On the girl’s side, Bian Mei also did not want to participate in the show but she did not show it as openly as Ding Chen. She was merely shocked that the production team would have them sleep on the train for the whole night.

The journey was supposed to take another hour but something went wrong and the train was delayed. Everyone slept in the carriage. Some of the workers slept on the ground. Some of them were snoring loudly. Ding Cheng was so hungry that he felt dizzy. Then he remembered his manager had packed him some food in his bag. However, he was too tired to move. Plus Xiao Ran beside him was so deep in his sleep that Ding Cheng found it difficult to move.

Ding Chen did not expect to suffer this punishment. His lower body was cramping up. He leaned his head on the chair and wanted to sleep some more but it accentuated the pain in his neck. The night was as unbearable as possible. The train finally stopped at 1 am. Everyone woke up one after another.

When they swapped for the bus, Ding Cheng felt his situation got worse. His eyes reddened as he coughed under his breath.

Fang Ming and Pan Huang were used to the kid’s problems. Xiao Ran quickly fell asleep so no one paid attention to Ding Cheng.

“This journey is not easy, right?” Pan Huang looked at Ding Cheng. The kid has been so high and mighty but now he’s quietly wiping away his tears. The young ‘uns nowadays, aiz…

Zhu Huan and Cheng Xiao looked at Ding Cheng with ridicule too.

“Everyone, it’s time to pack up. We’re about to start filming.” Xu Lun got on the bus. Ding Cheng raised his head. Their eyes met and Ding Cheng quickly averted his gaze.

The men were told to change on the bus. Fang Ming was wearing a short sleeve so he shrugged the military uniform on easily. The man’s facial features were deep and his eyes were sharp, it looked like he was going to shoot a military movie. His skin was so fair that there were no blemishes. His muscles showed through the military clothes.

“Kid, you’re not bad. Reminds me of me when I was young.” Fang Ming was embarrassed when he was praised by Pan Huang.

Then, the director picked up the loudspeaker and gathered everyone. “We’ll shoot our pilot.. Everyone has to show up on camera. We’ll try our best to get the best angles but everyone has to work hard!”
