Chapter 6: Chinese Soldiers

We are not people of the same world

Whatever, if we don't go crazy now... we will grow old, won't we? A hint of determination flashed in Chen Xinyi's beautiful eyes

However, when it comes down to it, I still do not know how Shaoyun and Chen Fei are doing now. The two of them... must be doing quite well, right? After all, they both have their backgrounds.

Wang Chen, I like you! If you like me too... please help me put on the ring!" Chen Xinyi took a deep breath, extending her palm towards Wang Chen, in the center of her palm were two one-carat diamond rings.

Xinyi, I can assure you, you are truly insane

On the floor of the private room lies a red carpet, the end of which leads to Wang Chen's feet. A girl dressed in a pure white long dress, holding a bouquet of flowers, is walking towards him. This girl is none other than Chen Xinyi.

Wang Chen's mind was blank; he could never have imagined that Chen Xinyi would take such an action.

In summary, Wang Chen, Zhang Shaoyun, and Li Chenfei are brothers, while with Heizi, they can only be considered friends, as there remains a slight barrier that prevents them from being brothers.

"Agree to her, agree to her, agree to her!" The surrounding classmates were also caught up in the atmosphere, and began to shout loudly. They believed this was a dramatic scene, and Wang Chen would definitely agree, to be precise...! ... Any man would agree!

This is the oath taken by Wang Chen when he enlisted two years ago, standing alongside Company Commander Chen Yun.

He is no longer the person he used to be, he has returned here with a mission, he is a soldier, an elite member of a certain military district's army special operations team, what he is about to do is very dangerous, and at any moment, he could face irreversible consequences, ... therefore ... he cannot implicate others, especially not this woman

Wang Chen silently spoke to himself a few words; during his high school years, he had three friends: one was Heizi, and the other two were Zhang Shaoyun and Li Chenfei.

Zhang Shaoyun has known Li Chenfei and Wang Chen since the first year of high school, while Heizi only became acquainted with them in their third year. It was only as they approached graduation that Heizi entered the world of Wang Chen and the other two.

On the other side of the private room, Chen Xinyi was quietly conversing with several female classmates

The surrounding classmates were all astonished, especially Ling Yunxiao, whose gaze towards Wang Chen became even colder when he witnessed this scene

No matter what happens, I will always remember my oath, willingly serve as a model soldier, and never yield! If necessary, I will sacrifice my life for my country! If required, I will give up everything I have; if there is war, I will shield my comrades on the battlefield from bullets!

The classmates around him were also puzzled; they did not understand why Wang Chen would refuse. Could it be that Wang Chen thinks Chen Xinyi is not worthy of him? Or could it be that Wang Chen has no feelings for Chen Xinyi?

Although his current status is quite special, to put it simply, he is still just a young man who has not yet turned twenty, and like any young person, he is full of youthful vigor.

My goodness, Chen Xinyi wouldn't be thinking of proposing, would she

As the words fell, the female classmate glanced in Wang Chen's direction and murmured, "No way..."

Meanwhile, Wang Chen cast a glance at Ling Yunxiao and, upon seeing his pale and bruised complexion, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth

Wang Chen has already left the private room, this sentence cannot be heard by Chen Xinyi, this sentence is meant for him to hear himself

"However, it is quite romantic. I truly admire your courage, and Wang Chen is indeed very lucky. I wonder what kind of virtue he accumulated in his past life to have such blessings in this life," said the female classmate.

At this moment, Wang Chen's mind had come to a halt. Under his numbness, Chen Xinyi walked step by step to stand in front of him, looking at him and saying: "If we don't act recklessly now, we will grow old. I don't want to have regrets. For anything that holds hope, I will strive for it. Since you cannot let go of your pride, then it is up to me to let it go."

Scenes of the oath-taking flashed through Wang Chen's mind, and his gaze became incredibly resolute. What is a soldier? A person who is always ready to sacrifice their own family for the safety of others! What is a soldier? A person who has no love, no security, and even no future! Yet it is precisely because of these individuals that the country can prosper and the people can live in peace

What does Chen Xinyi want to do

Proposal? Could it be Wang Chen? But isn't this too far-fetched? A girl proposing to a boy? She is the campus belle of our school, and she actually can set aside her pride and public opinion

After glancing at his watch, Wang Chen frowned. It was already 12:30. The gathering had provided ample food and conversation, and it was time for him to leave. He was truly concerned about Hei Zi.

Her heart is very troubled now. Why has she let go of so much, standing by so many people, as a single woman, bearing the weight of her father, lowering herself to propose, yet Wang Chen rejected her without hesitation? Does he really have no feelings for her at all? ... But if he has no feelings for her, then why did he ... back then?

I swear— I am a special forces soldier of a certain military district of Huaxia, the most elite warrior of the People's Liberation Army of Huaxia. I will bravely face all hardships and dangers, whether from training or actual combat! No matter what dangers I encounter, I will remain calm and courageously fight against the enemy!

I am a soldier of the People's Liberation Army of China. I pledge: to obey the leadership of the higher authorities of China, to serve the people wholeheartedly, to follow orders, to strictly adhere to discipline, to fight bravely; to fearlessly sacrifice, to be loyal to my duties, to work diligently, to practice my skills in defeating the enemy, and to resolutely complete my tasks; under any circumstances, I will never betray my country, and I will never betray the army

Why? Chen Xinyi asked softly

What is going on

"I am sorry," Wang Chen looked into Chen Xinyi's eyes, his words hesitant, taking a deep breath before saying: "I apologize"

My dear, what is going on here

The darkness did not last for long; after about one minute, the lights came on. With the lights illuminating once again, everyone present fell into a state of numbness, and Wang Chen was no exception

Xinyi, you can't really be thinking of doing that, can you? Are you sure you are not just acting on a whim?

Wang Chen's pupils contracted slightly. To be honest, he really wanted to agree, but he knew that... he could not agree.

A beautiful female classmate asked in surprise; she was previously Chen Xinyi's roommate and had a good relationship with her

If Ling Yunxiao were to behave honestly, it would be fine, but on the contrary... If Ling Yunxiao were to provoke Wang Chen, Wang Chen would give him a lesson that he would remember for a lifetime, a lesson that would be far more unforgettable than that front tooth.

As he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the exit of the private room, his strong and robust figure evoking a sense of solitude

Is there a power outage? But that shouldn't be the case, isn't this a five-star hotel? How could such a basic mistake occur? Voices of discussion arose from the crowd, and even Wang Chen himself was at a loss.

... ...

Chen Xinyi smiled gently and said, "Before graduating from the third year of high school, you asked me who my idol was, right? I didn't tell you back then, but now I can tell you who he is"

As Wang Chen's words came to an end, the confident smile on Chen Xinyi's face gradually froze, and the hand she held in the air began to tremble slowly

Chen Xinyi smiled gently, nodded, leaned close to the ear of that female classmate, and whispered a few words. After she finished speaking, the expression of that female classmate became even more remarkable, as if she had become numb.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Chen intended to bid farewell to everyone, but just as he turned around, the lights in the entire private room suddenly went out. This private room had no windows, so the originally brightly lit room... became pitch black.
