And so, the matter was settled.

Jiang Zao walked out of the government building with a bewildered look on her face.

She became a general just like that, all beautiful and charming?

General?

Is she a general?

Looking at his own thin arms and legs, Jiang Zao wondered how he could possibly be a general for someone else.

The thought of her standing in front of a group of big men, wearing a military uniform and being called "General" made her laugh.

"Pfft—"

Jiang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She drove home in a good mood, and this good mood lasted until she met Lu Jinye the next day.

Lu Jinye stared at his smiling girlfriend.

Lu Jinye leaned closer to Jiang Zao and pinched her cheek: "Zao Bao, what's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

Jiang Zao pinched Lu Jinye's face and said, "Jinye Ramen, you might not believe it, but I... am now a general."

Upon hearing Jiang Zao's words, Lu Jinye paused, his expression blank for a moment, his voice tinged with disbelief: "Wh...what??"

Jiang Zao's smile widened as she grabbed Lu Jinye's ear and said, "You heard right, I was awarded the rank of general yesterday."

Jiang Zao's words, like a voice from beyond the heavens, were so unbelievable that it took Lu Jinye a long time to process them.

After a long while, Lu Jinye finally let out a slow breath, his eyes filled with disbelief: "My God, Zaozao, you... wow..."

Jiang Zao was amused by Lu Jinye's reaction: "Hahaha, Lu Jinye, you're so funny! I thought you were going to say something, but you just said 'Wow'?"

Lu Jinye's ears turned a little red, and he wrapped his arms around Jiang Zaozao's slender waist: "Zaozao, I really feel like I'm not good enough for you. I've tried my best to catch up, but I can never catch up with you."

Jiang Zao was stunned. She hadn't expected that someone as brilliant as Lu Jinye would feel a little inferior in this relationship.

Jiang Zao's expression softened as she hugged Lu Jinye back, saying, "Lu Jinye, you are wonderful, you are truly exceptional. I am so happy to have met you, to like you, and to be with you."

"There are some things I've done that I can't tell you all about, but believe me, you're really great, and I like you so much."

As Lu Jinye listened to Jiang Zao's confession, his ears turned even redder.

Jiang Zao quickly noticed Lu Jinye's bright red ears. Her smile deepened as she poked Lu Jinye's ear and then gently covered it with a kiss.

Jiang Zao's gentle voice came through: "I can."

Lu Jinye shuddered, then hugged Jiang Zao even tighter.

The room was filled with fragrance...

…………

After that day, Jiang Zao and Lu Jinye's relationship grew even better. They were affectionate every day, which made Jiang's father increasingly dislike Lu Jinye.

China did not release the news of the forest fire in the U.S., as they were still unsure of the authenticity of the disaster warning device.

This needs to be verified through this incident. Moreover, earthquakes and typhoons are relatively easy to predict in advance, but fires are much more likely to occur.

It could be man-made or accidental; there's no standard for prediction, so China remains inactive.

However, the Chinese residents near the forest fire were moved out of the disaster area in an orderly manner first.

Most Chinese people were very cooperative, but some people refused to agree and insisted that the embassy give them a reasonable explanation.

Wang Feiwen, an international student at a university in the Ugly Country, was leisurely lying in bed scrolling through short videos.

Wen Zihan, who was packing her clothes, looked at Wang Feiwen and said, "Feiwen, aren't you going to pack yet? Tonight is the last bus from the embassy to pick us up."

Wang Feiwen frowned: "If you want to pack up, you can pack up yourself. The embassy is really something. They didn't give any reason or reasonable explanation, and just told us to pack our things and leave the city center."

"Why should we go! What about the studies we've missed? I'm not going anyway, our major exam is tomorrow."

Wen Zihan's heart also wavered a little: "We also have an exam tomorrow, sigh... but... I always feel that the embassy must have its reasons for doing this."

Wang Feiwen scoffed: "What logic? I think the embassy is just afraid that we government-sponsored students will get too ambitious and want to stay abroad, so they give us tasks from time to time."

"They just want to see if we still follow orders, that's for sure."

Wen Zihan felt that Wang Feiwen's words were strange, but she didn't have much time to think about it. Wen Zihan's phone suddenly rang.

Wen Zihan answered the phone; it was a call from the embassy: "Students, are you ready? If so, please arrive before 9 o'clock as soon as possible, we're about to depart."

Wen Zihan nodded hurriedly: "I'm ready, I'll be downstairs right away, please wait for me a moment."

Hang up the phone,

Wen Zihan looked at Wang Feiwen, who was still sitting with his legs crossed, and sighed helplessly: "Feiwen, I'll be going now. I always feel that the country must have a reason for doing this. There's no reason to make things difficult for us for no reason."

"If you've made up your mind, get there before nine o'clock, this is the last bus."

Wang Feiwen waved his hand impatiently: "No need, thank you, I'll come back later."

After sighing, Wen Zihan picked up her suitcase and turned to leave.

As she boarded the embassy's bus, Wen Zihan looked out the window at the scenery. She wasn't really sure what to expect, but she trusted her country.

After settling all the international students in, all the Chinese residents in the fire zone were evacuated, except for a few who refused to leave.

It was midnight on March 9th, and there was still no movement.

However, the wildfire did start around 5 a.m. on March 10, but many people were still sound asleep.

No one noticed the spread of the wildfire, which led to its rapid development and soon ignited areas inhabited by humans.

Screams rose and fell, echoing through the sky, because most of the houses in the Ugly Kingdom were made of wood, making them extremely easy to ignite, and waves of fire engulfed lives.

When Wang Feiwen woke up again, he felt extremely hot all over. He was still groggy when he tried to get up to get the air conditioner remote.

I got burned by the metal railing next to me.

Wang Feiwen jolted awake, instantly snapping back to reality. What she saw was a living hell; her curtains were ablaze, emitting sparks and ash smoke.

Looking out through the tattered curtains, all that could be seen was a vast sea of ​​fire, with everything around it ablaze.

Wang Feiwen's legs went weak with fear, and he screamed, "Wh...what's going on!"

Then, she helped herself up from the bed and tried to leave the room. She wanted to live; she didn't want to die!

How could this happen? Her life had just begun!
