Ace of the Dragon Division Chapter 199 - I Have My Difficulties

Chapter 199: I Have My Difficulties (Part one)

When Lin Chuxue returned to her dorm, her agent Sister Lei stood in the hallway as she watched her come back. Then, she looked at the man on the field and sighed, “What’s so good about him? Other than being able to fight, it seems like he’s not even able to afford your spending habits, right? In my eyes, he doesn’t deserve you. That’s my honest opinion, but I’m not looking down on him.”

Lin Chuxue leaned on the fence in the hallway and looked at the figure on the field. “Then in your mind, what’s a right match?”

Sister Lei: “With your a.s.sets, you can definitely marry into a wealthy and prominent household. There are so many people that are willing to spend a fortune for you.”

Lin Chuxue chuckled. “Then am I loving the family background or the money? Shouldn’t I be loving the person instead? Besides, what makes you think that Xu Cheng doesn’t have money and can’t give me happiness? I have the money, but sometimes, it just can’t give me the life I want. Under the influence of money, whether it’s love or friends.h.i.+p, both become unreliable. You followed me for so long, haven’t you noticed that the number of times I smiled in the past few days is more than all the times before combined?”

Sister Lei was stunned for a bit. This was indeed a point she ignored.

Lin Chuxue didn’t blame her for not caring and knowing enough about her, and she continued, “I know I’m a lucky girl because of the looks my parents gave me and my family background allowed me to get a much bigger head start than others. I also know that I’m almost destined to be someone envied by others and will never have to worry about money. But, these are not a.s.sets I should be proud of, and I know that better than everyone else. So, since I was small, I worked hard to improve myself. In my opinion, time is like a butcher knife and it will slowly strip away my looks, so I know very well that instead of marrying someone wealthy and have the relations.h.i.+p be measured with money, I will be better off marrying someone that comes from gra.s.s roots but loves me. I believe, if he loves me enough, he will become more powerful and create a wealthy and prominent family for me. Besides, instead of marrying into a rich family, I like creating one because it gives me a good sense of accomplishment.”

Sister Lei was dumbfounded.

She never knew Lin Chuxue would have this kind of unique view on choosing a mate and the future, but it was the risky approach of betting everything on one man.

“But if you put your faith in the wrong person, you will be like a jade vase with a crack, and you won’t be as priceless as you originally were,” Sister Lei sighed and said.

“I know,” Lin Chuxue smiled, “But by the look of it right now, he didn’t let me down. Even if he fails, I will accept my destiny and follow him because at least the feelings between us are real. Being with him at least makes me very happy.”

Upon saying that, Lin Chuxue walked into her room.

When she came back out, she had already changed into her sportswear.

At the end of the hall, Yan Xian ran up the stairs, looked at her with a bright smile, and said, “Chuxue, I went out and bought a fresh pig, and we are inviting the whole crew for barbeque just out in the field. Do you want to go with me?”

Lin Chuxue smiled and replied, “It’s fine, I already ate in the afternoon. I will gain weight if I eat at night.”

Yan Xian didn’t give up. “Then let’s still join in on the fun, the crew is recording additional footage for a special bonfire episode, everyone’s there. We are playing games together.”

Lin Chuxue really wanted to decline, but Sister Lei walked to her side and whispered, “Just go, the whole crew’s there, it wouldn’t be nice if you are the only one absent.”

Reluctantly, Lin Chuxue nodded her head, and then she went with Sister Lei and Yan Xian to the open sand field. There was already a bonfire set up there and it was surrounded by people. The atmosphere was extremely lively.

Chapter 199: I Have My Difficulties (Part two)

Lin Chuxue originally changed into the sportswear to train with Xu Cheng. Didn’t he just say that no one wanted to train with him? It did give Lin Chuxue a bit of a heartache, kind of like how no one wanted to play with him when they were young. Originally, she wanted to be his buddy just like back when they were small, but it was a bit disappointing to run into Yan Xian on the way.

After doing the reverse pull-ups, Xu Cheng went to a tree where there was a sandbag hanging from the branch. He just began punching it to train his speed without any gloves or bandages on his fists. If there was a spotlight s.h.i.+ning on him, people would’ve been shocked by his phantom-like fists punching the bag because of how fast he was going. It would be conservative to estimate that he was throwing 5 punches every second.

Upon finis.h.i.+ng, he began practicing his kicks. Powerful explosion sounds continued to sound, shocking Hu Bing who was approaching him.

Feeling someone close-by, Xu Cheng stopped and turned around. He just saw Hu Bing on crutches with a bandaged leg standing there and watching him.

“If you are here to demand an apology, just save it. I won’t apologize to you, even if you bring out your family to a.s.sert pressure.”

“If I was going to bring out my family, I would’ve done it a long time ago, and they could’ve directly removed you from the list. I’m also not here to demand an apology from you,” Hu Bing said.

Xu Cheng looked at him. “Then what are you here for? You want to spar again?”

“Originally, I did, but after seeing you train, I gave up. I’m the type of person that only believe in my own eyes, so no matter how other people praise you, I wouldn’t care until I see it myself. However, with what happened that day and today, I think you deserve to be respected. I’ve watched you train for more than two hours now, and this demon-like routine has changed my opinion about you.”

Xu Cheng snorted. “Thanks, but I don’t care about your opinion because it’s not important.”

Then, Xu Cheng picked up his jacket and started walking away. Hu Bing looked at his back and said, “Sorry.”

Xu Cheng stopped in his tracks but he didn’t turn around.

Hu Bing continued and said, “I really want to be your comrade-in-arms and win this compet.i.tion, but I have my difficulties. I admit that you are better than me in every way and if you join my team, I would definitely have to give up my center role. This is the truth, and if it was any other day, I wouldn’t mind, as long as we can win. However, not this time. If I can’t prove to my family my capabilities, I will have to give up on this and go into politics. I don’t like living in that world, and I only have this chance. So, I’m sorry.”

Xu Cheng didn’t say anything and he walked away.

As he walked, he saw a figure coming at him. She jogged all the way to him, her face still a bit red. She held up a pig’s hoof and waved it around. “You probably burned a lot of energy. Here, chew on this pig hoof, I roasted it just for you.”

Xu Cheng looked at the black charcoal-like object in Lin Chuxue’s hand and didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. “Can I not?”

Lin Chuxue said like a little kid, “But I roasted this for a long time just for you.”

Xu Cheng was about to cry. “Yeah I can see that. Fine, I will eat it.”
