The sound of music also means that the ceremony is about to begin.
Chu Yue said goodbye to Professor Zhou. Lu Zhanlin was waiting for Chu Yue on the side and took her to their seats. All around them were heroes of this era. Everyone sat upright, looking straight ahead, looking at the glittering center of the stage.
Soon after, the host came on stage and gave a passionate speech, followed by continuous applause. One by one, the heroes whose names were called walked towards the brightest place ahead, surrounded by applause.
"The next award winner is Chu Yue from the Southwest Military Region. She..."
The host's voice was passionate and extremely contagious, and it echoed in everyone's ears through the microphone.
Chu Yue walked towards that place step by step.
From the beginning of her time travel, Chu Yue could never have imagined that her life would undergo such earth-shaking changes in just one year, nor could she have imagined that in another era, she would receive such affirmation.
This honor is destined to belong to her.
Chu Yue stood under the brightest light, with countless red five-pointed stars above her head and a dazzling golden light on her chest.
She looked down at the stage and saw Lu Zhanlin in the crowd, and their eyes met.
Lu Zhanlin was clapping his hands vigorously, he was proud of her and was smiling so brightly.
This scene will be deeply engraved in Chu Yue's memory and become a memory that she will never forget in her life.
…
At the end of the honor ceremony, all the winners came on stage to take a group photo, and then the ceremony officially ended.
It didn't end after the event. It's a rare occasion to have such an event, and it's rare for people from all over the world to get together. There will be a dinner later, and there will be other activities during this period.
The official photographer said, "Do you want to take more photos? We still have plenty of film. Those who want to take photos, please line up here."
Lu Zhanlin pulled Chu Yue to queue up. It was rare for the two of them to be dressed so formally, so he wanted to take a photo with Chu Yue.
If the merit ceremony is a wedding ceremony, then this photo is their wedding photo, which will be hung on the wall of their house after it is developed.
Lu Zhanlin secretly had this idea in mind.
There were many people taking pictures in front of them, some were comrades in groups of three or four, some were taking pictures alone and wanted to send them home, and some even took pictures with their old leaders. The surroundings were quite lively and noisy, and everyone was talking.
Gradually, it was soon Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin's turn.
A hint of cunning flashed across Chu Yue's eyes.
She said to Lu Zhanlin, "Zhanlin, I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
Lu Zhanlin heard Chu Yue's cheerful voice and didn't think it was anything important, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Besides, the photographer next to them was urging them on.
"Comrades, it's your turn. Hurry over." The photographer pointed to a prime photo spot. The national flag was in the background, perfectly suiting the atmosphere today. "How many of you are there? Is there a lot of you? If there are a lot of you, I'll step back so the group photo looks better."
Lu Zhanlin replied to the photographer, "The two of us."
"Two people, a gay and a lesbian? There are not many lesbians among our award winners today. You are the first pair to take a photo together." The photographer said as he readjusted the shooting distance.
Someone nearby, knowing about Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue's relationship, jokingly said, "They're not some gay or lesbian couple; they're a proper married couple! They're a young couple."
"Are you a couple? Did they win the award together? You are both talented and beautiful, both heroes, it's amazing. I will use my best skills to take this photo of you until it looks great." When the photographer heard that Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue were a couple, he became excited and said excitedly.
Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue were treated as models and stood in the position designated by the photographer.
The two stood there side by side. Lu Zhanlin thought of what Chu Yue had not finished saying just now and talked in a low voice.
"Ayue, what did you want to tell me just now?"
The photographer offered guidance from the side. "Look at the camera! Look at the camera! This position, facing me—very good, lift your chin a little—and relax your shoulders. It's just a photo shoot, not a battle on the front lines. Don't be so nervous. Trust my skills. I'm sure you'll look as beautiful as your wedding photos."
Chu Yue listened to the photographer adjusting his pose while whispering, "Zhan Lin, you said before that you wanted a child. Did you want a girl or a boy?"
Lu Zhanlin looked at the photographer and distractedly answered Chu Yue's question, "Have you forgotten so quickly? As long as it's our child, boy or girl, I'm fine with it."
"Very good! As expected, beautiful people look even better in the camera." The photographer glanced at the viewfinder and suddenly shouted, "Come on, come on, don't move, listen to me, three!"
"Zhan Lin, I want to tell you—"
"two!"
"I am pregnant."
"one!"
With the sound of a shutter, the picture was forever frozen on the film negative.
After Chu Yue said the four words "I'm pregnant", her eyes were still looking straight at the photographer, with the corners of her mouth raised, and her smile was gentle and beautiful.
Lu Zhanlin was different. In that instant, he didn't hear what the photographer said at all. All he could think about was Chu Yue saying "I'm pregnant". It seemed like something exploded in his mind like fireworks.
In his excitement, he completely forgot to take pictures. Instead, he turned his head quickly to look at Chu Yue with a look of shock and astonishment.
The image captured by the camera happened to be the moment he turned his head slightly, which was also his first reaction when he heard that Chu Yue was pregnant.
This photo will be Chu Yue’s favorite photo in her life.
This is of course a story for later. At the moment, Chu Yue had hidden the news of her pregnancy for so long. She didn't want to scare Lu Zhanlin at this time, but wanted to give it as a gift to Lu Zhanlin and herself on this special occasion.
Under Lu Zhanlin's shocked eyes, Chu Yue still smiled, "Zhanlin, congratulations, you are going to be a father again. Do you like this gift I gave you?"
Lu Zhanlin was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
The photographer sighed in frustration. "Why did you move? Comrade, what's wrong with you? You were fine the whole time, but you moved just as I pressed the shutter. What a shame, what a shame! The atmosphere was so good, the picture was so great, it could have been used as a recruitment photo. Let's take another one, ah—why did you leave?"
Lu Zhanlin couldn't hear what the photographer said at all. He took Chu Yue's hand, and the two of them walked out of the crowd and went to a quiet place nearby.
He asked attentively and nervously, "Wife, you said...are you pregnant?"
Chu Yuejiao smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm pregnant. You can start thinking about whether it's a boy or a girl from now on."
Lu Zhanlin's eyes slowly turned red, and he hugged Chu Yue tightly. The two of them stood under the starry sky for a long time, which was extremely bright.
