Lin Hai, with a bellyful of gloom, rushed to the mess hall canteen under Xia Chuxin's gentle gaze and Tao Shuishui's threatening words.

Before reaching the mess, a loud military song could be heard. This is an old tradition in the army; before meals, there was a gathering to sing, an instructor's speech, and then the meal could begin.

"The bugle sounds resonant, brothers in arms, when that day truly arrives, rest assured motherland, rest assured dear ones, for victory I must bravely advance..."

As soon as the song ended, Camp Commander Li saw Lin Hai approaching, and the idea of competing for superiority flashed through his eyes once again.

This military song had been passed down in their unit, its spirit had long become second nature, and Camp Commander Li wanted to learn about the military song from Lin Hai's unit.

A soldier who can sing a spirited military song also indirectly represents the morale of the unit; the levels of morale can be compared, and one can compete in every aspect within the unit, showcasing their abilities.

"Lin Hai, how about this song?" asked Camp Commander Li with a smile.

Lin Hai nodded, "It's very good, robust and spirited, expressing the soldier's passionate eagerness to earn honors and defend the country."

This military song was widely sung among the troops across the Huaxia land, and back in the day, Lin Hai also enjoyed listening to Little Scorpion humming this song, especially when sung by a female voice - it was particularly pleasant to hear.

Just now, Ouyang Xiaoya was also touched by this military song.

"I wonder what military songs your former unit liked to sing?" Camp Commander Li asked with a smile.

Lin Hai smiled. During his years in the army, he naturally understood what was on Camp Commander Li's mind.

"Our unit also liked this military song." Lin Hai didn't want to seriously compete with Camp Commander Li, it was pointless and would delay the meal - not being keen to eat was a sign of problematic thinking.

"Director Lin, you're too modest. Come on, everyone is here, and since you also come from the army, why not sing one for us to broaden our horizons?" After saying this, Camp Commander Li commanded the soldiers below: "Everyone applaud, and welcome Director Lin to sing a song for us."

The soldiers immediately clapped heartily, and even Ouyang Xiaoya followed with applause.

Looking at the simple gazes of those young soldiers, Lin Hai felt that it didn't matter whether he won or lost against Camp Commander Li; what mattered was not to dampen these young soldiers' enthusiasm.

"Alright, I used to like to sing a special song in private, although it's not a military one, it's also full of positive energy. I'll humbly offer it just this once. Let me say first, I'm tone-deaf, so Camp Commander Li and everybody else, please don't make fun of me." Lin Hai said with a hearty and earnest expression.

Camp Commander Li felt a bit embarrassed when he heard Lin Hai say this.

Ouyang Xiaoya was also looking forward to it. Beast Lin had always hummed rascal tunes, like how beautiful the Taiwanese girls were, or the Old Driver and the Kirin Arm, and with him being tone-deaf, it was hard to imagine what he'd be like singing a positive song.

"Cough cough." Lin Hai cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and under the watchful eyes of the soldiers before him, began slowly in a deep voice that was both full of vicissitudes and magnetic:

"On the beacon towers high, the dying sun from battlefields, beside the shattered blades, the years quietly flow..."

"Gazing upward, you stand on all four sides, with the unrestrained pride of a dragon born free..."

"The surging bloodline of the Yellow River and Yangtze River, is the boldness innate within you..."

"Remember, your name is — Yanhuang..."

That deep, magnetic voice, along with the smoothly paced lyrics filled with the power of bloodlines, while Lin Hai slowly closed his eyes, made it seem as if the sun shone gloriously upon him.

The people below fell thoroughly silent.

Camp Commander Li's pupils shrank slightly, feeling as though there was a fiery presence in his chest that made the blood gradually boil.

The soldiers below were no different.

This was not a military song, but it sang of the bond that runs through the blood of Huaxia compatriots, embodying a national spirit.

Ouyang Xiaoya looked especially at Lin Hai, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

It was hard to imagine that a guy who was usually sloppy, decadent, with messy hair and unkempt beard, and extremely sleazy and lazy, could sing such a moving song in such a simple way.

At that moment, the Iceberg CEO found herself looking at Lin Hai with new eyes once again.

The applause, like a tide, suddenly burst forth after the silence, the young soldiers clapped fervently at Lin Hai, showing their praise and support.

"Great, that was sung so well, Director Lin. There might have been some misunderstandings before, I, Li Dading, apologize to you." Although Camp Commander Li was somewhat petty, he wasn't fundamentally bad.

"Haha, Camp Commander Li, what are you saying? You're too polite, we Huaxia soldiers are all one family," Lin Hai also said with a smile.

It was Wang Dajun who felt a surge of jealousy watching President Ouyang clap non-stop for Lin Hai, an unhappy look in his eyes.

"Alright, that's it for today, let's eat!"

After the meal, Lin Hai became a minor celebrity in the camp, Camp Commander Li even specially sought Lin Hai with paper and pen for the lyrics, planning to teach them to the soldiers later.

Ouyang Xiaoya and Lin Hai strolled on the stone path in the military compound, the sunshine warm, the breeze rustling through the willow trees, enveloping them in a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

"Beast Lin, I didn't see that you were actually quite talented," Ouyang Xiaoya said sincerely this time.

Lin Hai chuckled: "CEO, you rarely compliment me, always slandering me."

"Hmph, who told you to act so unseriously on usual days. But today, you performed very well, I've decided to give you a reward, tell me, what do you want?" Ouyang Xiaoya said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Hai's eyes spun wildly, his hands rubbing back and forth, smilingly said: "CEO, can you give me anything I want?"

"As long as it doesn't break the rules and principles, and within my capability," Ouyang Xiaoya thought for a moment and added, just in case this Beast Lin would ask her to get into bed with him, something she could absolutely not agree to, knowing his nature well.

"Alright then, CEO, I just want to kiss you on the mouth, what do you think?" Lin Hai blinked his eyes, his face full of anticipation.

"This beast."

Ouyang Xiaoya, seeing Lin Hai's sleazy smiling face and his look of great expectation, could only feel irritated.

"Hmph, in your dreams. A mouth-to-mouth is definitely not going to happen, the most I can do is giving your cheek a peck, just like a dragonfly skimming water," Ouyang Xiaoya thought about it and added.

"Deal, that also works, I've been looking forward to you taking the initiative for once," Lin Hai showed a face full of greedy anticipation.

Having said that, Lin Hai shamelessly moved his face close to Ouyang Xiaoya's tempting red lips, squinting his eyes, a look of enjoyment as he waited for the CEO's precious lips to kiss him.

Wang Dajun, hiding in the shadows, saw this scene and was burning with jealousy from within.

Ouyang Xiaoya's fragrant scent was already detectable with the nose, so close it was almost within reach.

"It's coming, the kiss is coming," Lin Hai thought excitedly in his heart.

"President, Director Lin!" Wang Dajun shouted loudly as he came running over.

"Damn it, sh*t egg!" Lin Hai immediately cursed in his mind.
