Chapter 135: Most Beautiful Red Plum
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Jiayi looked up suddenly and saw a female soldier amidst the crowd. She was waving her injured hand. The cloth wrapped around it was apparent, setting her apart from the sea of people.
However, that was the most beautiful color in Shen Jiayi’s eyes.
‘The most beautiful red plum!’
Shen Jiayi’s anxious heart instantly found its rightful place.
The dust finally settled.
“Above the red rocks, the red plum blossoms.
Thousands of miles of ice under the feet.
Fear no the cold, one hot-blooded heart faces the sun, faces the sun.
Red plum flowers blossom, each one vibrant with colors.
Aroma drifts into the clouds, waking hundreds of flowers.
Sing praise to the new spring, the new spring.”
Moments before, the audience was stunned by Gu Yan’s unexpected appearance. However, everyone was now wholly captivated by Shen Jiayi’s beautiful voice.
Although she didn’t undergo professional training, that crisp and loud voice, which can tactfully s.h.i.+ft pitches, was soothing.
The platoon leader of the Arts Department, Jiang Yuan, had her eye lighting up.
She remarked excitedly, “Not bad, Haili, you’re hiding such a treasure! I don’t care, I’m taking this talent for sure. Don’t give it to anyone else!”
Li Haili looked at Shen Jiayi with satisfaction and smiled. “Shen Jiayi usually kept to herself. I didn’t know she could sing that well.”
“Mhm, she’s a good talent. In time, she can only s.h.i.+ne brighter!” Jiang Yuan loved talent. She couldn’t wait to get on the stage and s.n.a.t.c.h the girl to join in the singing and dancing band of their Arts Department!
Most soldiers under the Arts Department had dreamed of becoming a member of the singing and dancing band.
Gu Yan felt relieved upon seeing Shen Jiayi perform well.
However, the person standing next to her had a sour expression.
“Stop waving your hand, be mindful of the wound!” Captain Lu reminded with a heavy tone.
He almost couldn’t sleep for the entire night yesterday. Too many thoughts were occupying his head. Well, his mind was mostly recollecting the kiss they had sweetly shared.
It was too short and brief. It wasn’t enough for Lu Ye at all.
But for the time being, he couldn’t deepen it yet.
Captain Lu’s mind was in turmoil.
Although it didn’t affect his handsome appearance, his temper was short.
The anger, arising from concern, flared up upon seeing his wife wave her hand like crazy.
‘Is she not scared of aggravating the wound?!’
Ignorant little wife…
‘If there weren’t so many people around, he would have punished her again!’
Gu Yan pouted her lips in a teasing manner. “I know. By the way, hurry and go up to the podium of judges. I see Captain Li looking at you.”
“Mhm,” Lu Ye answered. He resisted the urge to pinch her face and said, “Then, go sit next to Guo Rou and the others.”
“Okay,” she responded obediently.
“And, pay attention to your hand!”
“I know.”
The two held the conversation quietly, preventing the others from hearing them.
Lin Haoran already returned last night.
His eyes glanced over as soon as Gu Yan appeared. It couldn’t leave her figure anymore.
He could see the two talking with hushed voices. Even without outward display of affection, the two appeared close.
Lin Haoran thought about everything that happened yesterday.
‘Smart, pretty, and talented.’
‘Calm composure and rapid reaction speed.’
It was no wonder Xiaoyu lost to such a perfect Gu Yan.
But…
