Wen Xinya ate sour plums as she watched the military rank award show broadcasted from the military channel.
This military rank award was held by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Those present for the award included two generals, four lieutenant generals, six major generals, a senior colonel, a colonel, and a lieutenant colonel, as well as a large number of soldiers in the camp.
The sea of green military uniforms looked majestic, formal, sacred, and powerful. Even though Xinya was watching through the television, she could feel their aura coming out, highlighting the strength and power of their country’s soldiers.
Xu Zhenyu was one of the soldiers accepting the rank promotion.
After seven years since he reached the rank of a senior colonel, Xu Zhenyu was finally being promoted from a brigadier general officer to a general officer, becoming one of the few young generals of the country.
At this moment, Xu Zhenyu walked onto the stage in his neat military uniform. As he stood upright and saluted, his standard movements were filled with a dignified charm.
.
Then, the general representative went up to Xu Zhenyu and praised him. He encouraged him and patted his soldiers, displaying his satisfaction.
He personally too off the epaulet on his shoulder which signified his rank as a colonel. With his other hand, he replaced it with one that represented his rank as a major general. The red epaulets were laced with golden silk and woven straps. In the middle was a studded gold star embroidery. The epaulet was outlined with golden pine branches and leaves embroidery, with a glimmering golden star emblem on it.
Xu Zhenyu saluted the two generals to show his respect.
Then, a lieutenant general came forward.
Xu Zhenyu lowered his noble head which was held high with pride earlier. The lieutenant general removed the peaked cap on his head and replaced it with a new one.
Although the design of the hats was the same with the exception of the ranks displayed, Wen Xinya felt as if the new hat made Xu Zhenyu even more valiant.
Her eyes began to water.
The entire ceremony was only around half an hour. Wen Xinya watched Xu Zhenyu on the television. He was beaming with honor, pride, and determination, shining so brightly that it hurt her eyes.
This was the true life that belonged to Xu Zhenyu.
“Babe, what are you doing. You didn’t answer me.”
Xu Zhenyu walked towards Wen Xinya in his neat military uniform. It was just an ordinary green uniform without any epaulet on his shoulder.
However, Wen Xinya, who suddenly came to her senses, thought that he looked extremely handsome and suave.
“Babe, don’t look at me like that. You’re making me nervous.” Xu Zhenyu lightly slicked her forehead. As he felt her gaze focused on him and saw her teary eyes that were pure and clear, he was reminded of the first time he met her at the airport in the past.
Back then, she watched him silently with tears in her eyes, as if she was washed over by tons of complicated feelings. However, the smile on her face was as pure as snow, delicate, and beautiful.
At that time, he clearly felt his heart throbbing.
Actually, his temperament back then was unruly and aggressive, and he would speak vulgarly, all because of his foolishness from being rich. However, as the famous little devil in the capital city, everybody was too busy trying to please him. There was nobody else like Wen Xinya who would blackmail him on their first meeting and even took away his beloved earring just for helping out with a small favor.
If it were anybody else, he would have beaten them to death.
However, it was none other than Wen Xinya.
At that time, this thought had flashed across his mind: F*ck, this woman must be from Mars! She’s way out of line and even dares to offend me!
However, what he truly felt inside was: Crap, I’ve finally found my match. What if I end up in her grasp?
Although Wen Xinya did not repay his kindness and was unreasonable, she was crafty and great at speaking. In the end, he was defeated and couldn’t retaliate.
Perhaps since their first meeting, it was already set in stone that he would always lose when it came to her.
Everything was destined, and he couldn’t change it.
That one line exposed Xu Zhenyu’s trashy nature. Her eyes suddenly widened and she cried out, “I just thought that you suddenly became more handsome, but it turns out I was wrong. Just take it as if my eyes had a cramp.”
In this world, other than those close to Xu Zhenyu, nobody else would have guessed that this noble major general with a bright future ahead of him was actually trash!
Xu Zhenyu said proudly, “You have a good eye. I’ve always been a gentleman, dignified, elegant, and a beautiful flower among all the other seaweeds. I’m so handsome that people and deities are all jealous of me.”
With that, he shook his head and fiddled with his fringe.
His simple act of fixing his hair made him seem ridiculous and funny.
His entire being was so trashy and such a joke.
Wen Xinya scoffed and laughed out loud. “Why can’t I see that?”
She really wanted to ask Xu Zhenyu: Dear, do the country and citizens know what a clown you are in your military uniform?
Xu Zhenyu lifted his head proudly. “Tsk, that’s because I’m usually very low-key. Even though I’m really good-looking, I don’t ever say it out loud.”
“Hahahaha…”
Wen Xinya instantly fell onto the sofa from laughter. She was even close to cramping up from laughing.
Who knew that other than being clueless, he had the potential to be funny.
Xu-er, you’re actually possessed by Xiao Huzi1 right!
You’re playing out this Xiao Huzi act as you like, is that appropriate?
She genuinely wanted to ask him: Have you considered the feelings of our country and the citizens by being such a clown?
Xu Zhenyu frowned. His tough face stiffened and looked rather dignified. “Hey hey hey, be serious. We’re discussing such a stern topic…”
Wen Xinya didn’t show him any respect and burst out laughing. “Xu-er, head out the door, turn left, and walk 500 meters.”
Xu Zhenyu was stunned. “Head out the door, turn left, and walk 500 meters, isn’t that a pharmacy there?”
As a soldier, the one thing that was ingrained in him that would never change regardless of setting was his keen sense of observation. He could swiftly assess and understand any situation.
At this moment, Xu Zhenyu felt agitated.
Although he was a soldier, it did not mean that he could not understand the slangs on the internet.
Wen Xinya was tearing up from laughter. “Haha… Xu-er must’ve not taken his medicine before he left the house, or he ate too much of them.”
Xu Zhenyu’s face darkened.
Although he liked to tease Wen Xinya, it did not mean he liked to be made fun of.
“Hahahaha… Colonel Xu—wait, no… Hahaha, I guess I should call you Major General Xu now. Aren’t you letting the country and the citizens down by not eating your medicine when you are sick?”
If the country and citizens find out that the newly appointed major general was actually a trashy jokester, they would really cry!
Xu Zhenyu’s face was completely black. Looking at Wen Xinya, he instantly did not feel like speaking anymore.
