Chapter 219: Itchy Hand

Chapter 219

Nan XiangWan, Cheng Xue and Xiao Dong, the three women, were not going to go looking for any Gu BeiHuai. They went to the canteen to eat.

It was Nan XiangWan's suggestion.

She said they didn't need to worry about their comrade. He was their comrade, not an idiot. He wouldn't get lost.

Seeing the canteen full of air force personnel, Cheng Xue and Xiao Dong finally realized why they hadn't seen anyone when they first arrived.

It was meal time!

The huge canteen was filled with people, but it was very quiet with almost no one speaking.

The self-discipline of the soldiers was evident at this moment.

Just then, someone in the distance waved at the three women.

Nan XiangWan looked over and saw a familiar face.

It was Hua Ying!

They had met the actress playing Nan XiangWan's second lead while playing paintball guns in Sichuan.

The canteen was so quiet you could only hear the sounds of the soldiers eating. No one was talking.

Even Hua Ying didn't dare call out loudly. She had run over specially to fetch them.

Hua Ying said softly, "Nan XiangWan, come eat!"

Nan XiangWan: "Teacher Hua Ying, you're here too?"

Cheng Xue gave her a look and reminded: "She's your second lead!"

Nan XiangWan: "Oh right, the whole cast is here for training?"

Hua Ying: "Yes, it's a rare opportunity, I had to come! Are you eating? Come with me."

She led Nan XiangWan and the other two to a table in the corner.

The table was filled with actors, more than ten people.

It was obvious they were not soldiers at a glance.

The officers at the next table sat ramrod straight, finishing every grain in their bowls.

Cheng Xue whispered: "No wonder you need training. Although your movie is a big sci-fi production, at its core it's a war film. To portray soldiers convincingly, you have to start from the basics like sitting, standing and walking properly. Only then can you portray the bearing and military prestige."

As she spoke, Cheng Xue looked towards Nan XiangWan, originally intending to remind her to sit up straight. But to her surprise, Nan XiangWan was already sitting very straight!

Sitting among the huddled soldiers, her straight backbone was a sight to behold.

Glancing down the row, Cheng Xue felt Nan XiangWan could enlist right away!

She was instantly extremely proud.

Xiao Dong also noticed this. Of their table, only Nan XiangWan sat the straightest.

Hearing this, Hua Ying immediately started sitting up straight too, comparing themselves to the soldiers at the next table. The actors at their table felt rather embarrassed and began adjusting their postures.

Tan Shen was also there. He originally had the best posture among them, but was clearly inferior to Nan XiangWan.

He gave a faint smile: "It's fine, training hasn't started yet. Today's just assembly, we can relax a bit, right?"

The other actors immediately laughed, each preferring to slack off rather than work hard.

Tan Shen's words gave them a reasonable excuse.

"Senior Tan Shen is so easy-going!"

But they still had to see what she was truly capable of!

The Lingshan Military Region did not tolerate useless people!

Of course, Nan XiangWan was unaware of the subtext. After speaking, she was simply in a good mood and heartily tucked into her meal.

She had randomly felt irritation towards Tan Shen for no reason.

His words and actions triggered an instinctive desire in her to retort!

Actors have high appearance standards. Many ate little before putting down their bowls and chopsticks.

In the end, only Nan XiangWan kept heartily eating more and more.

She ate until the officers at several nearby tables were shocked.

Nan XiangWan had a grain of rice stuck at the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Dong immediately took out a tissue: "Wipe your mouth."

At this time, Tan Shen across from them spoke up, a trace of hesitation in his voice: "Uh, assistants are not allowed at military training."

Hearing this, the other actors immediately looked towards Nan XiangWan.

"I think Nan XiangWan is a newcomer right?"

"Just debuted, yet already has both a manager and an assistant. It'll be seen as acting primadonna if word got out."

"First time acting, and in such a major production too. Best not have extra thoughts."

"I didn't even dare bring an assistant when I heard it was army training. I came alone."

Tan Shen quickly added: "Don't say that about her. After all she's the female lead, plus she didn't know assistants weren't allowed, right?"

"Senior Tan Shen is too kind-hearted."

"Can't be too nice or you'll be taken advantage of!"

"Teacher Tan Shen is always speaking up for others! Such a good person..."

Cheng Xue took a deep breath.

This was starting already?

Nan XiangWan glanced up at Tan Shen: "Oh."

If assistants weren't allowed then so be it, no big deal.

Cheng Xue: "Xiao Dong, come with me tonight. We only came to take a look at the venue."

Xiao Dong: "Okay."

What could she say?

She was speechless!

They weren't even told it was military training before coming!

And Director Luo didn't say anything about it either!

Xiao Dong was unusually angry, but she knew her status. She couldn't speak up, much less stand up for Nan XiangWan.

Otherwise these people would probably accuse Nan XiangWan of acting primadonna even over an assistant.

Xiao Dong felt wronged, her chubby cheeks flushed from anger.

Nan XiangWan bowed her head, a faint icy smile on her lips.

Itching to act.
