Ace of the Dragon Division

Chapter 198: That Kiss on the Forehead (Part one)

In the evening, the recording for the day ended. Xu Cheng didn’t see the need to continue accompanying them, so he went on a jog around the field after dinner.

He was also on a tight training schedule. Even though Hu Bing didn’t accept him, he was still on the list already. By then, he might have to fight on his own against everyone else, so he needed to train even harder right now.

Lin Chuxue also gave herself a little break from the rest of the crew. Instead of going out of the military region like the other celebrities, she stayed behind. After dinner, she took some photos with some enthusiastic fans in the military and went to find Xu Cheng.

When Xu Cheng was jogging on the field, Yan Xian’s agent purposely waited under a tree for him. When Xu Cheng jogged passed him, he politely greeted, “Umm, Instructor Xu, wait a second.”

Xu Cheng stopped and looked at him. “Can I help you?”

Yan Xian’s agent took out his business card and handed it to Xu Cheng. “This is my card, Instructor Xu, do you have any thought of possibly entering the entertainment industry?”

Xu Cheng took a look at the card – senior agent of the Royal Capital Entertainment Company.

The agent immediately continued, “Royal Capital Entertainment is one of the top tier companies in the industry, and we have our dedicated record and film distribution channels. It’s not hard for our company to create a star, especially with someone like Mr. Xu with such great skills. Believe me, with what you are capable of, you can definitely join the military and action film industry and become a super star with just one movie. I already did some digging, with the wage and pension plan provided by the military, you will be a lot better off becoming a celebrity. If you are willing, I definitely can convince my management to directly give you a top-tier contract. With the help of this season’s ‘True Men’, you could definitely rise to fame faster than all of the other beginners.”

Xu Cheng smiled. “Are you Yan Xian’s agent?”

The agent smiled and replied, “A senior agent can serve several celebrities, and Yan Xian’s one of mines. Do you know how much he can make per year?”

Xu Cheng asked, “How much?”

The agent replied proudly, “At least 20 to 40 million.”

“That’s still less than my wife does,” Xu Cheng mumbled to himself. He knew Lin Chuxue could make a couple tens of millions in just album royalties alone, not to mention movies and endorsement contracts.

“What did you say?” The agent didn’t hear clearly.

“Nothing, but I think you got the wrong person. I’m not interested.” As Xu Cheng said that, he passed the business card back.

The agent still wanted to give it another shot. “Mr. Xu, I’m being very serious, please consider it. With your body and capabilities, you are born to be an action star! If you don’t do it, it would be such a waste of your talent.”

Xu Cheng turned around, looked at him, and said, “Nope, I can still fight in wars.”

Agent: “What war? How is there still any war in this era? It’s so peaceful, and everyone’s thinking about working hard to make money and climb to the top.”

Xu Cheng: “Climbing to the top doesn’t necessary involve making tons of money, there’s also the ladder to the top of power! Do you know why I don’t want to become an action star?”

The agent shook his head.

Xu Cheng: “Because I’m afraid that I could kill someone! When I fight, I’m being serious and there’s no acting involved. Doing punches and kicks just for show is the biggest humiliation to me. Let me tell you, my fists only punch enemies, and they aren’t for show!”

Upon saying that, Xu Cheng continued jogging again, but didn’t forget to leave one more sentence for the agent. “It would be truly pathetic for a country when the sharp swords of the nation are used for show to make money instead. Don’t extend your invitation to other soldiers, you might get beat up.”

Chapter 198: That Kiss on the Forehead (Part two)

Lin Chuxue heard from asking around that Xu Cheng was jogging on the field. When she came over, Xu Cheng was hanging on a bar with his legs and doing reverse pull-ups.

When he went straight down, he saw Lin Chuxue and smiled. “I see that you look pretty beautiful upside down too.”

Lin Chuxue chuckled. Then, she crossed her arms and pouted. “Why are your eyes so fixed on my chest?”

Xu Cheng said in all seriousness, “I just felt that I haven’t seen them for 4 to 5 years, and I want to see if they are bigger now. I wasn’t thinking of anything else.”

Lin Chuxue’s little fists almost swung at him. She glared at him and said, “That’s called not thinking of anything else?”

Xu Cheng smiled, and summoning strength in his waist and abs, he resumed his reverse pull-ups.

Lin Chuxue asked on the side, “You were filming with us for the whole day, you aren’t taking some time off at night?”

“There’s no time, I barely have enough time to train. Since I’m an old horse now, the other soldiers are singling me out and not letting me train with them, it’s terrible. I can only train harder by myself, or our team’s going to be doomed at this year’s tournament.”

Lin Chuxue sighed. She wanted to say more, but she didn’t know whether she should ask the next question.

Xu Cheng knew her, and she knew him as well. Seeing her expression, Xu Cheng said, “Just say what you want to say.”

“Umm...” Lin Chuxue thought about it and decided to just ask away, “You said that after this tournament, you are really going to take me...”

“Uhm.” Xu Cheng breathed heavily as he continued his exercise and replied, “Yes, taking you back to Britain. You don’t want to go back?”

“Yeah I do.” Lin Chuxue paused for a moment and said, “But do you know what consequences you will have to face when you go back with me?”

“Yeah, I know,” Xu Cheng said.

“I’m saying ‘if’ here, if you don’t feel like you are ready, staying in Huaxia is actually pretty good too. Although I was born in Britain, I really like the culture here, and it’s good for us to live here too.”

“No,” Xu Cheng replied simply.

Lin Chuxue paused for a moment. Then, she heard Xu Cheng say, “I always feel that’s unfair to you, as if I kidnapped you and can’t even let you see the sunlight. You are the most beautiful woman in Britain, and reasonably speaking, any man that marries you must have the grand wedding of the century. You deserve a wedding like that. Although big weddings are pretty cliche, but for women, there’s only one chance in their lives for them to be in a beautiful wedding dress on their wedding day and set foot into the wedding hall. I don’t want to take that away from you.”

Lin Chuxue looked at Xu Cheng, a bit dumbfounded. It was a bit unexpected for someone that was usually very silent and shy to open up and tell her those words.

Before she could respond, Xu Cheng said, “Because my dad couldn’t give my mom an identity for the public to see, right now I don’t even know who my mom is. All I know is that her last name is Ye. So, I don’t want to be like my dad, I need to give my wife a proper title for everyone to know. I don’t care if it’s the royal family or the aristocrats, I just want to tell them that the Rose of Britain is my woman, and I won’t hide her from being seen.”

Lin Chuxue’s eyes softened as she looked at him and smiled. After a while, when Xu Cheng just finished another reverse pull-up and had his head dangling down, she suddenly went up to him and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Then, with a smile that could take people’s breath away, she ran away.

Xu Cheng just hung on that bar for a while. Finally, he subconsciously touched his forehead. There was still a faint trace of aroma there. And then, his feet slipped and he smashed right into the ground.

“Ahh, my back...”
