Yeah. Colonel Lin will be discharged from the hospital on that day too. Ill fetch him on my way back to the platoon. Lu Xingzhi nodded, not showing much excitement and expectation about attending the recognition ceremony.

The recognition ceremony was held to honor the efforts of Colonel Lin and Lu Xingzhi. The Jin City platoon sent both as representatives to the rescue mission, to which they came back safely albeit with injuries.

Xingzhi, I heard from Grandpa that the superiors are planning to bestow both you and Colonel Lin the Individual First-Class Merit Medal, is that right? Luo Ruoran interrupted. I also heard that the Jin City platoon is planning to form a special forces unit, with both Colonel Lin and you under consideration.

Thats right, but it will be some time until the special forces unit is active. Its definitely not going to happen this year. This was the discussion Lu Xingzhi had with Colonel Lin for the past few days; Old General Liang privately informed them of the news.

Jiang Yao was slightly perplexed hearing it. She knew nothing about the recognition ceremony nor the formation of the special forces unit. She spent almost every waking hour with Lu Xingzhi, and yet he managed to hide a lot of information from her.

Nonetheless, Jiang Yao was not upset.

First of all, Lu Xingzhi was not a person to brag about his achievements. Plus, before things were confirmed and set in stone, he would not divulge anything to anyone else.

Feitang is under consideration too! General Chen called out before looking at Chen Feibai and sighed, On the other hand, Feibai here is driving me crazy!

The people at the table were surprised to hear that Chen Feitang was also a candidate to join the special forces unit. Only Old General Liang was unmoved, which meant that he was the only one that knew it prior, not even Lu Xingzhi and his buddies were aware of the fact.

Jiang Yao remembered hearing from Lu Xingzhi that General Chen had a preference for boys, but it seemed like he was very happy with Chen Feitang as his granddaughter.

That was not part of Jiang Yaos concern anyway. Instead, she was worried that Chen Feitang and Lu Xingzhi were both accepted as members of the special forces unit. This meant that Chen Feitang would be together with Lu Xingzhi on a daily basis.

It was bad news for Jiang Yao.

She was unnerved at the thought. The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She kicked Lu Xingzhi, who was busy eating, in the shins and immediately felt better seeing his puzzled reaction.

Why did her husband look so good? It irked Jiang Yao to realize that Lu Xingzhi was very popular with the ladies.

Zhou Weiqi was nowhere to be found even after dinner was over. Lu Xingzhi looked at his watch and pulled Jiang Yao toward the couch. He put the scarf and the hat on for Jiang Yao and said to Chen Xuyao, who was busy making faces at Jiang Yao on the side, We are going to get Weiqi from the Zhou family, see you at the Purple Orchid Garden.

Go! Chen Xuyao laughed. In Brother Lus eyes, Jiang Yao is a person without use of hands. He has to do everything, and I mean everything, for her. If he can, he would have carried her on his back at all times to relieve her from the exhausting task of walking.

Chen Xuyaos teasing made both Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao blush out of embarrassment.
