After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 47 There's actually such a delicious treat as spicy strips in the world!
Li Chengxiao hung up the phone and walked back, only to find that the guests were still talking to their families or filming videos. It seemed that they had endless things to say to each other, and the atmosphere was warm and affectionate.

This only made the figure lying across the parallel bars, leisurely swinging his legs, seem even more idle.

Then, thinking of what the girl had said before—her father who died young, her mother who went abroad and remarried, and her younger siblings whose genders were not even clear—he frowned almost imperceptibly.

The fact that some of the immediate family members are involved in overseas travel is indeed a bit troublesome.

Suppressing the urge to investigate first, he glanced at the time and blew his whistle.

Dinner time!
As soon as the whistle blew, Li Chengxiao subconsciously glanced at the parallel bars and, unsurprisingly, saw a figure leaping swiftly and nimbly to the ground.

As Jiang Hanying ran towards the meeting point, she didn't forget to shout, "Dinner's ready!"

No one can stop her from eating!

Hearing the team leader's loud reminder, the guests reluctantly hung up and turned off their phones, handing them to the staff before running to the team leader to gather.

After confirming that all the guests had arrived, Jiang Hanying led everyone straight to the cafeteria.

[With this passion for cooking, I can now confirm that Jiang Hanying wasn't affected at all by the previous segment.]

I'm also someone who's neither loved by my parents nor by any other family, constantly being kicked around by different groups. I think I should learn from Jiang Hanying's carefree attitude.

This mindset is definitely worth learning; don't let unhappy people and things affect you!

[Learn from Jiang Hanying and enjoy a hearty meal; there's no problem a meal can't solve.]

[Jiang Hanying isn't afraid of gaining weight, but I am!]

[Then train for another two hours with the live stream. I guarantee you'll be so tired you'll fall asleep the moment your head hits the pillow, and you won't have time to think about unhappy things.]

When getting his food, Yuan Chaoyu hesitated for a moment, then took less than he should.

She was hungry, but she didn't have much of an appetite.

Watching Jiang Hanying fill a plate with rice as usual and eat it with relish, he hesitated to speak.

She was genuinely curious: seeing other people's families so happy and fulfilling, did this person really not feel any loss or sadness at all?
Or should they simply channel their grief and anger into their appetite, using food to mask their true feelings?
Jiang Hanying swallowed a large piece of scrambled eggs and looked up to catch Yuan Chaoyu's gaze. "Why are you staring at me? If you don't have enough, go get some more. Don't expect me to share with you."

There was barely enough food for her to eat.

Yuan Chaoyu: "..."

To be able to understand one's own gaze to this extent is truly impressive; this is so Jiang Hanying!

After dinner and a short rest, training began again that evening.

[The day before yesterday we marched in step, yesterday we did a goose-step march, so is it time to run today?]

[That's likely, but since we have new guests today, it's possible that the returning guests will review the training exercises from the previous two days, while the new guests will practice as well.]

I'm a little curious about what exercises we'll be training tomorrow.

[I remember the instructor mentioned there would be combat training, it should be on the agenda soon, but how will we determine if someone passes?]

[Let's check if the movements are standard; it can't be about being able to beat the instructor.]

[You think you can beat the drill instructor? You're dreaming!]

[I feel sorry for Yao Ge. He failed all five projects yesterday, and now he failed four more today. Will this just keep piling up?]

There's still a week left until the end of Phase One; there's still hope.

[As long as you pass three items, and those three items happen to be randomly selected during the assessment, that's fine.]

[The odds are... so touching!]

The audience was engaged in lively discussion, while training on the playground had already begun in an orderly manner.

The event began with a review of the previous marching and parade marching routines, with both new and returning guests walking together.

To the audience's surprise, the whole group marched in a fairly orderly fashion.

[They definitely practiced secretly before the new guests arrived!]

[Among the new guests, Chi Song walked the most standard way. Could he have served in the military before?]

[Now, at least Jiang Hanying isn't the only one shining brightly.]

After reviewing marching and parade marching, and living up to everyone's expectations, it was time to learn to run. As usual, the instructors explained the key points of the movements while demonstrating, and then the guests took turns walking back and forth.

In the latter half of the practice, Jiang Hanying and Chi Song stood at the front and became team leaders.

The duo immediately drew most of the viewers' attention to the live stream.

These two are leaving absolutely no chance for anyone else to survive!

Is Chi Song considering entering the entertainment industry?

I suddenly want to pair them up as a couple.

[A "no way out" combination, huh? Hahaha!]

The other guests looked at the two people walking at the front, and it would be a lie to say they weren't envious.

Unfortunately, my skills don't allow it, so I can only grit my teeth and train hard. Maybe I'll have another chance in the future!
After two hours of evening training, Li Chengxiao announced the disbandment, but the evening's program was not yet finished.

Another round of evening interviews.

However, there are quite a few guests now, and it is obviously unrealistic to interview everyone in one hour. The production team changed their strategy on the spot and decided to draw lots.

We selected five people, so each person would have at least ten minutes for the interview, which is much more than before.

Next time, draw five more people from the remaining ten.

You don't need to draw the last five.

After three rounds of interviews, each person gets a turn.

This time, neither Jiang Hanying nor Yuan Chaoyu were selected; only Yu Feng was.

The two can go directly back to their dormitory to wash up and rest.

Back in her dorm, with plenty of time to spare, Jiang Hanying took out the remaining box of cookies from her drawer, intending to finish it off today.

Smelling the sweet aroma gradually spreading in the air, Yuan Chaoyu, deliberately ignoring his hunger and preparing to wash up, was speechless.

She swallowed silently.

She hadn't eaten much for dinner to begin with, and after running on and off for two hours, her stomach was now burning.

But someone just started eating cookies without any hesitation!
As Jiang Hanying was eating, she noticed a gaze falling on the box in her hand. She immediately looked up alertly and met Yuan Chaoyu's eyes.

He immediately hugged the cookie box tightly.

Yuan Chaoyu held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help it, "...Can I trade you your biscuit for some spicy strips?"

"Let me try yours first. If it's not good, I won't exchange it."

If it weren't for the fact that you shouldn't eat spicy strips on an empty stomach... Yuan Chaoyu silently took out a bag of spicy strips and handed it over.

Jiang Hanying took it and deftly tore open the packaging. Her eyes lit up when she smelled the aroma emanating from the bag.

Once it's in your mouth...

Holy crap, there's actually such a delicious treat in the world!
Yuan Chaoyu suddenly had the illusion of seeing a pair of three-thousand-watt light bulbs.

"How is it? Is it delicious? Can I trade it for your cookies?"

He has had a nutritionist plan his daily diet since he was a child, and he has never dieted since his debut. This is the first time Yuan Chaoyu has experienced how painful it is to smell food on an empty stomach but not be able to eat it!
Jiang Hanying took out another spicy strip, licked her lips, and said, "I can, but just this one pack won't do. I only have this box of cookies left. If you want to trade, you'll have to give me the spicy strips you have left."

Yuan Chaoyu hadn't even had a chance to eat a bag of spicy strips since arriving, and when he heard Jiang Hanying's outrageous demand, his eyes widened in disbelief. "You...don't..."

She couldn't bring herself to say the words "taking an inch and wanting a mile," because Jiang Hanying's eyes clearly told her: no way you can bargain!
In the end, all he could do was grit his teeth and say, "Fine, I'll change!"

Taking the large bag of spicy strips handed to her, Jiang Hanying smiled broadly and handed over the leftover cookies, saying, "Deal made, no backing out."

"Won't!"

After finishing the interview, Yu Feng stood outside the dormitory door, hesitating whether to push open the door in front of him.

Nobody told her that these big stars could be so childish in private!
Luckily, she happened to see it!
