Chapter 1572 - First Military Parade of the Twenty-Third Century (1/2)
In the actor’s lounge, two girls rested their arms against the window as they watched the General deliver a speech on stage.
Most people that woke up before the war did not personally experience the rise of NAC, but they were not unfamiliar with the history. Because the people who have been around for a while always enjoyed telling the tales to the newcomers. Even if they did not go out of the way to seek out those stories, they often heard the tales.
Almost all the “civilized people” who woke up from the hibernation chamber shared unique emotions with the NAC General Jiang Chen.
And those emotions shared one common trait – curiosity.
“A splendid speech…”
The speech was over, and the host already took the microphone.
It was certainly a challenging task for him to take back the atmosphere of the celebration.
The General’s aura was too imposing.
One could disregard the content of his speech as he didn’t need to speak at all.
For the NAC, the General was a banner in itself, and if he just stood there, he would gather a group of supporters around him.
Zhao Youyue’s arms were still folded on the window while she gazed at the stage intently. The girl next to her glanced at her, took a second to think, then chuckled at her while she joked
“Look at how starstruck you are.”
She was Zhao Youyue’s dancer and also her best friend. The two were friends before the war. At every Zhao Youyue concert, she was one of the dancers on stage. Because they entered the same hibernation fallout shelter, the two opened their eyes together in the twenty-fifth year of the apocalypse.
“What’s wrong with me. What, what do you mean starstruck?” Zhao Youyue flushed after she realized that she could no longer deceive her friend. She stared back at her friend who looked at her with a teasing expression, “Hmph, you dare to say that you’re not attracted by a man like that?”
“What’s there to be attracted by?” The girl rolled her eyes.
Although she had to admit that a man like him was indeed attractive, but…
He was just too dazzling.
Moreover, she came from before the war and could not accept the marriage view that prevailed after the war.
“I made up my mind!”
The girl was startled by her friend whose vibe suddenly changed and asked in a daze.
“Made up…what?”
“I want to use my voice to convey my mind to him!” Zhao Youyue looked to the middle of the stage, with her cheeks flushed, she squeezed her hand in front of her chest, and her eyes flashed with a dazzling light.
This is indeed problematic…
The girl looked at her inexplicably motivated friend and thought in a perplexed state.
In any case, their program was indeed part of the celebration.
Zhao Youyue’s feelings were fully expressed through her voice, and she ultimately won the cheers of the audience with her spectacular performance.
But she didn’t care about this at all.
When she walked off the stage, her resentful eyes continued to cling to a place in the crowd, but she was destined to be disappointed. It would be odd for someone who sat at such a far distance to read the resentfulness in her eyes…
“The singing was amazing,” Xiaorou leaned against Jiang Chen and said with a smile.
“Yes,” Xia Shiyu also nodded affirmatively, “Although the style of music is a bit novel, it sounded great. Even in the world over there, she would definitely be one of the best.”
“Well, after all, it’s not just technology, but culture will also accumulate over time,” Lin Lin wiggled her head while she commented.
“Speaking of which, the thoughts of these singers should not be underestimated,” Xiaorou grinned while she looked to Jiang Chen next to her. “When I was my sister’s assistant before, I cleared countless letters written by those girls. Although the letters were related to work, the words seemed to be more like self-recommendations.”
“Huh? Is that true?” Sun Jiao looked at her sister in surprise, as she blinked.
