Chapter 286: Chapter 137: Gu Jiuyue, I Don’t Want to Be Friends with You Anymore..._2

The first row is a no-standing zone, and any audience members who squeeze through will be cleared away; they must watch from behind the second row of railings.

But there are occasional exceptions, sometimes it might be veterans visiting Beijing, other times important foreign guests or overseas Chinese. In any case, it’s a super VIP area that’s not usually open.

Wow, Gu takes the game with a killer move...

Su Huai inexplicably feels like he’s lost a round, but Gu is very considerate. She leans in and whispers softly, "Dad’s just worried about my health, but I trust you. You can definitely run really fast with me on your back."

Su Huai feels both comforted and amused.

What’s he talking about?

Is this a question of how fast one can run with someone on their back?

Gu truly understands human nature, with thoughts that are wise and transparent, but in many common-sense areas, she’s just like a child, probably because she’s missed too many life lessons...

"Alright."

Su Huai nods, unable to help but smile, accepting the sentiment: "If there’s a chance, I’ll definitely carry you at 70 miles an hour."

"Wow, you two are really..."

Huang Mengting shows a disgusted expression, but in reality, with all the commotion, they can’t hear what the two are talking about; they can only see them whispering, but that’s enough to make them jealous.

Don’t get it wrong, it’s not jealousy towards Gu Jiuyue, but envy that Su Huai could be so close to Goddess Yue.

Who wouldn’t like the fairy-like, peaceful, and graceful Gu?

"Alright, alright, time to head out!"

Su Huai waves his hand to change the subject, and then they prepare for a long, long time...

The flag-raising is at 6:10 a.m., but it’s not until 5:40 a.m. that the entrance opens.

Without a word, the students dash in and sprint all the way to the Flag-raising Platform, finding the very center of the first row empty as expected.

However, as soon as they arrive, two handsome guards come over to maintain order.

Everyone looks back nervously until Wu quickly jogs over to negotiate with the guards, and then one of them heads back to continue maintaining the order, allowing them to stay there.

Oh yeah!

The students from the Big Data class cheer and then clear out the very center position.

After a short while, Su Huai leads Gu Jiuyue in a quick walk to the empty spot in front of the first row’s rails.

This place is front and center. The tourists behind start to get restless, but as soon as Gu Jiuyue arrives, the guards immediately loosen the restrictions, allowing everyone to watch the flag-raising from there.

Now no one objects, and they joyfully squeeze in, but they avoid crowding directly behind Gu Jiuyue and Su Huai.

Uh, not that there’s anything wrong with the duo, but the problem lies with those two followers from Gao and Er Gao — if you stand behind them, you can’t even see the flagpole...

Su Huai and Gu Jiuyue stand close together, holding on to the railing without letting go.

She’s breathing a bit quickly but smiling with joy.

"We’re so close, this is my first time watching the flag-raising!"

Su Huai is equally excited, his heart pounding, whether he’s looking up at the Tiananmen Gate or gazing into the dim sky, he’s filled with an inexplicable emotion.

Holding Gu Jiuyue tightly, their bodies pressed together, Gou Huai has no other thoughts but eagerly anticipates the moment to come.

Even though it’s not his first time watching the flag-raising, every time he stands on this square, he feels emotions stirring from the deepest parts of his genes.

Sons and daughters of Yan and Huang, children of China, standing here, should resonate.

When the flag bearers finally appear on the tower, the square instantly boils over with excitement.

Cheers are heard successively, with big brothers shouting sincerely "Long live the People’s Republic of China!" and girls with blank minds screaming "Ahh, so handsome!"

The military band quickly starts playing "Sing for the Motherland," and on the first day of each month during the flag-raising ceremony, they begin to play as the flag escort makes their entrance.

Just as Su Huai is about to start singing, Gu Jiuyue beats him to it.

"The five-starred red flag flutters in the wind, how loud the victory song sings. Singing for our beloved motherland..."

Her voice is soft and weak, trembling and wavering, yet to Su Huai, it sounds exceptionally pleasant.

He looks at her in surprise, captivated by the light shining from her eyes, his mood inexplicably uplifting more and more.

It wouldn’t be strange for any male student to sing along, because an interesting fact is — boys generally have a stronger sense of national identity, while girls focus more on themselves.

But when Gu Jiuyue demonstrates what appears to be a very extroverted and passionate patriotism, it comes as a huge, delightful surprise to Su Huai, resonating with his values.

"Wow!" he exclaims jokingly, "You sing even better than me... no way, I can’t lose!"

As he speaks, he too raises his voice in song, which echoes across the square.

As the flag bearers cross Jinshui Bridge, they transition to a neatly synchronized march.

Shh, da!

Shh, da!

It’s an indescribable sound and impact, not just because of the synchronicity, not just for the soldiers’ heroic bearing and solemnity, but it also encapsulates so much more.

From the moment the flag bearers begin their march, Su Huai clenches his fists involuntarily, eyes glued to the formation, unwavering in focus.

Never feeling much during flag raisings at school, but now witnessing the honor guard’s nearly devout approach to condensing the military spirit, national spirit, and people’s spirit into a nation’s flag of such limited dimensions, he feels an unparalleled solemnity and grandeur.

As the national anthem plays, Su Huai stands to attention and salutes, lips moving to sing along, his heart stirring intensely.
