A University's military training closing ceremony was very large in scale and there were several important leaders standing at the podium. To kick start the ceremony, the standard and rousing speech naturally had to be done.

You Liangxing had no business being on stage today so he was merely watching from the side, and in his moments of idleness, his eyes would promptly fall on Kang Shengzhe.

He was not standing far from Kang Shengzhe and from the angle he had, he could see a small half of Kang Shengzhe's face from the side. As the flag bearer of the national flag team, Kang Shengzhe stood out at the very front, and the dignified bearing he had was something that had never existed before.

It was not common to see Kang Shengzhe being serious and it was even rarer to see him look so solemn in both appearance and expression. He was wearing a military uniform that was once on You Liangxing's person, although it felt out of character when it was wrapped around him. The corners of his mouth were smoothed out, his eyes stared ahead. With the image he made, it was understandable why there were many female students surrounding him.

Even You Liangxing felt that the uniform was a little too eye-catching on him.

As You Liangxing's thoughts strayed, a gust of wind, carrying some moisture, blew into his face. Liao Su gazed at the sky and whispered: "Looks like it's going to rain."

The last word fell and the speech on the podium stage concluded which ushered in a reading of another speech that was in accordance to the usual practices by the emcee. Soon after, the awe-inspiring music played and the national flag team entered the field in a neat and orderly pace.

This was the first time You Liangxing witnessed Kang Shengzhe marching after their last run-in. It was exactly as Liao Su had remarked. His footfalls were extremely well-executed; not only were they pleasing to the eye, they seemed to be filled with strength with every lift and fall of his feet. When he saw such actions from a man who was usually lethargic in disposition, You Liangxing found himself somewhat lost in a trance.

"Brother Liang, did you see that, God K is really handsome."

You Liangxing said, "Shh—"

He was extremely focused; all his attention was gathered on one person in the crowd. Although Liao Su wished to say more, he stopped himself immediately. In a standardized fashion, Kang Shengzhe was standing tall and straight as he led the national flag team towards the center of the sports field. Then, the music ceased abruptly before the forceful and energetic sound of the national anthem came in a few seconds after.

Cued by with the familiar melody, the audience, teachers and students who would occasionally exchange a few words all went silent as they stood in attention and saluted with their eyes. Slowly and solemnly, step by step, Kang Shengzhe ventured forward from his position which was at the very front of his team.

Reasonably speaking, a small flag raising ceremony in a university could never compare to the standards of the country's armed forces, but Kang Shengzhe's appearance truly exhibited the rigour and the strength of his character through his actions.

Too caught up, You Liangxing was taken by surprise when he felt the first drop of something cold. And very quickly, countless of raindrops started pouring down from the skies and all the students at the stands instantaneously jumped up.

"What the hell— leave, hurry up and leave, leave now!"

The rain had come swiftly and ferociously and the center of the sports field was in the same state. Each and every one of the freshman in their square arrays had nowhere to hide themselves and they could only enjoy the treatment of 'the cold rain carelessly splattering on their faces'. Without a pause, they descended into great agitation and confusion but they did not dare to randomly move because they were in the middle of an exercise. However, that state did not last long, since the freshmen dashed towards the places that granted them shelter from the rain the moment the instructor dished out a command from the side. Hence, it led to a chaotic and disorderly scene as there were throngs of people running all at once.
