253 Chapter 253. Are You Concerned About me?
After Wen Xiu left, Ding Shan turned to look at Xiang Hong, her eyes twinkling with a smile. “I didn’t expect you to be so impolite.”
“He’s not you; why should I be polite?” Xiang Hong was initially a little unhappy, but when he saw Ding Shan’s bright rose-like smile, all his emotions instantly disappeared.
“However, ” Ding Shan hesitated for a moment but still said, “This is the training camp, after all. It’s best if you don’t cause any trouble. It’s easy to form small groups in a crowded place. It’ll be troublesome if someone doesn’t like you.”
Ding Shan had only reminded Xiang Hong of good intentions. She could tell that the man in front of her did not know how to control his emotions and did not care about anyone here. This personality would easily attract hatred, especially in the entertainment industry, where people’s hearts are unpredictable. It would be even easier for him to attract trouble.
Upon hearing Ding Shan’s words, Xiang Hong raised his brows and smiled. His smile was arrogant and overbearing to the extreme. “Do you think I’m afraid?”
After a pause, Xiang Hong seemed to have thought of something. His smile gradually became playful, and he looked at Ding Shan curiously. “Are you concerned about me?”
The man looked perfect when he smiled, especially when wearing a colorful and bright training suit.
Without the cold and elite aura he usually wore in a suit, he looked more like a sunny teenager in a campus idol drama that made countless young girls’ hearts flutter and scream. His smile seemed to be able to light up the hearts of the young girls.
Ding Shan didn’t know why, but her heartbeat rhythm seemed a little chaotic. She hurriedly lowered her head and coughed. “You’re a student of my battle team. Isn’t it normal for me to remind you? Moreover, you were the first to respond to my request in the training room. I should thank you.”
It was precisely because Xiang Hong was the first to respond to Ding Shan’s request that the others dispelled some of their thoughts of resistance.
Most of the time, in a group, the first person to stand out would always be able to guide the people behind.
If the first person to stand up was not Xiang Hong, who had raised an opposing opinion, then those dissatisfied would probably have had the courage to resist. Even if they dared not question Ding Shan’s arrangements in person, they would still say that Ding Shan was unprofessional in private.
After all, the other team members were probably already training to sing and dance. Who would come out for a morning run?
“So I’m overthinking things?” Xiang Hong smiled nonchalantly. When he lowered his head, he saw that Ding Shan’s fair earlobes seemed to have been dyed with a touch of pink. The smile in his eyes deepened.
“Captain, do you want some water?” A cautious voice suddenly rang out. Ding Shan raised her head and saw that it was the trainee who had just had a conflict with Xiang Hong.
He was holding a bottle of water and looking at Xiang Hong nervously.
Xiang Hong was stunned for a moment. Then, he arrogantly raised his chin. The trainee hurriedly handed the water to Xiang Hong, and the anxiety in his eyes turned into joy. “Captain, I’ll go back first. Call me if there’s anything.”
Looking at the trainee running away, Ding Shan realized that her worries were unnecessary.
If it were someone else who was as arrogant as Xiang Hong, he would probably bear a grudge. However, there was a type of person who was born with the powerful aura of a King. When faced with such a person, the first reaction of others was not to be unconvinced or resist but to submit and acknowledge.
All humans admired the strong. Animals would choose the strong to be the leader of their species, and so would humans. They would prefer to follow the strong but would also involuntarily try to please the strong.
Xiang Hong didn’t expect Ding Shan to think so much. In his world, many people took the initiative to follow and please him, so he was used to it all.
Xiang Hong unscrewed the mineral water cap and handed it to Ding Shan in a gentlemanly manner. Ding Shan was stunned for a moment before politely rejecting him. Then, the two walked to the space where the trainees were resting.
“Don’t you think X and Teacher Ding are quite a good match?” In the crowd, a trainee suddenly sighed.
Everyone turned around and saw Ding Shan and Xiang Hong walking over. Behind them was the rising sun, and its gentle rays fell on the two of them. It was as if a soft light was filtering the scene, and it also made the scene look like it was destined to be a scene from a love-life drama.
