"Comrades."
"Today, we gather here to hold this solemn and sacred investiture ceremony."
"At this special moment, I feel deeply honored and proud, and at the same time I have great respect and expectations for every comrade who is about to be awarded a rank. Military rank is not only a symbol of honor, but also a heavy responsibility and mission. When you wear a brand new military rank, it means that you have shouldered the sacred duty of defending the country and protecting the people."
"Now, I will formally read out the order of appointment!"
After the reading, the officers to be awarded ranks will come on stage one by one.
After hearing his or her name, each officer who was awarded a rank walked out of the line in an orderly manner and saluted.
"Comrade Xiao Yue!"
When Shiye heard Xiao Yue's name, he perked up and looked over.
In his previous life, Xiao Yue was still just a battalion commander after completing the mine-sweeping mission, but this life is different.
Now that the process of awarding military ranks has come to an end, people like Xiao Yue are considered the finale of the military ranks being awarded.
A straight military uniform fits his broad shoulders and solid chest, and the lines are gathered at his waist with a black belt. His steps are steady and powerful, and his military boots step on the ground neatly and loudly, with each step carrying a steady rhythm.
The person who awarded the title to Xiao Yue was the army commander who read out the order of awarding the title.
During the awarding process, the army commander took the epaulettes and collar badges and put them on Xiao Yue's officer uniform one by one to ensure that it was neat and standardized.
After the awarding of ranks was completed, Xiao Yue raised his hand to salute the commander, his arm straight and strong, his palm pressed against the brim of his hat, his movements clean and neat.
Although Shi Ye was standing in the very front, one could only see his tall pine-like back. The wind blew through the corners of his military uniform, fluttering in the wind. He was like a standing fortress, steady as a mountain, and awe-inspiring.
Looking at this scene, Shiya's mind echoed the image of Xiao Yue, who was severely burned, hunched over, but still standing in front of him.
Legion commander.
He is a qualified officer.
Shiye whispered something silently in his heart, and his eyes softened when he looked at Xiao Yue.
I have to say, Xiao Yue is very charming at this moment.
As the representative of the officers, Xiao Yue had to give a speech after the awarding ceremony, but Shi didn't listen carefully, as he just spoke some polite words.
Next, the military doctors from the infirmary came on stage to be awarded ranks. Led by Lan Xin, the military doctors who had dedicated their lives during the plague came on stage one by one, including Zhou Yunce. Yes, although the plague almost cost him his life, it was a blessing in disguise and he broke through the shackles brought by his family's demotion. He also became a military doctor, although only a non-commissioned officer.
Shi Ye and Cheng Musen were the last to come on stage, and the officer who awarded her the rank was also the one who read out the order.
Although Major of the Army Surgery Department is still a junior position among military doctors, it has been promoted three levels in a row!
Like her, Cheng Musen was a major military doctor. After the two of them were awarded ranks, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.
When Shi was taking a photo with the commander on the stage, she suddenly noticed a burning gaze. Her eyes flashed slightly and her brows frowned slightly. Her eyes swept across the crowd and finally fell on one person. A layer of white sweat broke out on her back.
She lowered her eyes. Although her expression was as calm and peaceful as at the beginning, there was a deep and terrifying look in the deer's eyes.
Xiao Yue, who was not far from her, took in her expression clearly. He half-squinted his eyes, and his bright and dark gaze fell on her. He then turned his head and looked towards where the crowd gathered. There, standing were a man and a woman, two very "outstanding" people.
He knew the man, Jiang Zishan, from the Jiang family in Yandu. It was said that he had just graduated from military school and came to the Northwest resolutely despite his family's opposition. Of course, he did not come here as an educated youth, as the Jiang family also had connections in the Northwest.
He also knew the woman, Xia Yun, the daughter of his father, adjutant Xiao Fengnian.
After not seeing each other for several years, Xia Yun was completely different from what he remembered. It was as if she had been reborn.
Xiao Yue's expression was as indifferent as usual. He glanced at her for a few seconds before looking away.
Xia Yun also looked at Xiao Yue in a daze. She had noticed him as early as when Xiao Yue was awarded the title. Indeed, no matter in the previous life or this life, as long as Xiao Yue was there, it would be difficult for others to ignore him. After all, he was the male protagonist she had carefully portrayed.
Her eyes were filled with mixed emotions including joy, loss, and relief.
Xia Yun never expected that she would come to the Northwest again in this life. Although her target this time was no longer Xiao Yue, she still felt uncomfortable when she saw that his military career was completely different from that in her previous life, and that he even became the commander of a corps so early.
She looked down on her male protagonist, but such an outstanding person would eventually be given to someone else.
But he soon thought that Xiao Yue would not live much longer, and quietly let go of the awkward feeling in his heart.
She turned her head to look at the tall figure beside her and breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was fine.
"Brother Jiang, the awarding ceremony is over. After watching the excitement, let's go back and pack our things. Don't you still have to report to the recruit camp? This is an important matter, don't delay it." Xia Yun said softly.
Jiang Zishan did not answer, but just looked at the slender yet graceful figure on the podium.
"Brother Jiang? Brother Jiang?" Xia Yun frowned, followed Jiang Zishan's gaze, and her face darkened.
This Shiye is really lucky. In her previous life, there was no such thing as plague in the northwest, so naturally there was no way for her to obtain such an honor through the random plot system. It was really unpleasant to encounter Shiye being awarded an honor and promoted as soon as she arrived.
Xia Yun glanced at Jiang Zishan with a sinister look and pursed her lips.
She really didn't expect that Jiang Zishan was also reborn, and even had an obsession with Shi that surpassed everything else.
Even though she knew that this was due to the beauty system, Xia Yun still felt uncomfortable.
She couldn't tolerate the man she liked being obsessed with another woman.
In this life, she has the beauty system, and has basically won over Jiang Zishan. Unfortunately, his obsession is with Shiye, so when Jiang Zishan proposed to go to the northwest, she agreed without much hesitation. Sometimes, deliberate avoidance will only result in a stronger backlash. She does not intend to let Jiang Zishan go. In this case, she can only make him hate Shiye.
"Brother Jiang! Xiaoye is different from us. You can't be too hasty, or you will scare her." Xia Yun reached out and held Jiang Zishan's arm, whispering softly. Her delicate and charming posture made the men around them look back frequently.
Xia Yun liked this kind of gaze the most. She raised her chin slightly, revealing her swan-like neck. Her every move revealed her beauty. The crowd around her suddenly became noisy, and the men stared at Xia Yun with perverted faces.
That’s right, in order to gain Jiang Zishan’s trust, she has reached a cooperative relationship with the latter after her rebirth.
In her previous life, she was rescued from a kidnapper's den in the mountains and brought back to Yandu. Shi also brought Jiang Zishan to see her.
It was also because Jiang Zishan had seen her at her most miserable state that he felt sympathy and pity for her from the beginning. He was a soft-hearted person and easy to manipulate, which made it easier for her to approach him. She used the beauty system to gain many advantages from him.
