God said, let there be light

The award ceremony was just two days after the military released the Baiyue report. Everyone knew the significance of such an intensive itinerary. All the media, large and small, gathered outside an administrative park. The exits were blocked, and they couldn't get in, but they all hoped to get a photo and grab the headlines.

Fan Roy and the others had a smooth journey, but they were followed by someone in the car. The reason was simple. Lan was recognized at the port with a child in his arms. The Lan family sued Locke before. , The reporters didn't expect that there would be a sequel, the adrenaline surged, there was no political headline, it would be nice to have an entertainment headline.

Lan was not in a good mood, and Fan Luoyi even teased him: "This time the award ceremony is very big. There is news on the Internet that there will be representatives from the political and legal circles of the alliance, and there may be people from the Lan family."

"The Lan family are just businessmen."

Fan Roy smiled and did not refute.Lan knew in her heart how the first lady's natal family could be just businessmen.What's more, the largest military contractor of the Lanjia Alliance, the power and interests in his hands are so terrifying that it is unimaginable that it is not an exaggeration to say that he holds half of the alliance's life.

Lan narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed meaningfully, and said slowly: "It's hard to say whether you will meet Lan's family, but Lu Xinchuan will definitely come. Although you escaped from Lunsa to save me , but Lu Xinchuan has raised you for so many years, so he can't see you forever, right?"

Fan Roy nodded, but did not speak.

After they arrived at the administrative park, Byrne and Locke were called away, and Van Roy and Lan followed the guidance of the robot to find the accommodation room arranged for them. The two rooms were conveniently door-to-door.The room had everything they needed, and they also prepared meals for them, and even thoughtfully prepared complementary food for Isaac.Isaac was still too young to participate in such an occasion, so Lan could only put him to sleep and hand him over to the robot nanny for a while.

Fan Roy washed up and changed into a formal dress. Byrne came back at this time. When he saw Fan Roy, he froze for a moment, and his eyes turned to the full-length mirror in front of Fan Roy. Time seemed to be here. Flashback to three years ago, the day of their engagement banquet, when he saw Fan Luoyi wearing a black tuxedo, just like this moment, made his heart beat faster, and the more he watched, the more crazy he became.

Compared with the classic black tuxedo, Fan Luoyi's wine red outfit is more seductive now, like the mellow aroma of wine in the dark night, it clearly seduces people, but it is clearly invisible.

Fan Roy looked at Byrne through the full-length mirror, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth: "What are you doing in a daze?"

Byrne stepped forward and hugged Fan Roy from behind: "It's so beautiful. Let me watch it a little longer."

Out of the corner of Byrne's eye, he saw the white suitcase next to him, which was sent to the cabin together with his military uniform.No matter how he asked before, Fan Roy didn't tell him what was in the box. If he knew that he should have opened it secretly, he should have asked Fan Roy to put it in for him to see. He wanted to keep looking at it like that, He put his hand on Fan Roy's waist, thinking that he would have sex with him in this suit.

Ahh—he belatedly understood why Van Roy refused to let him take off his military uniform that day.It's too flirtatious.

"I ordered three outfits during the engagement, but unfortunately one was ruined, and I never had the chance to wear the other two. Today is the right occasion."

The smile on Byrne's face froze for a moment, and he lowered his head: "I'm sorry. I know I still owe a beating. After the ceremony, Alo beat me up." He should owe Fan Roy all his life. If it's not clear, then he can rely on Fan Luoyi for the rest of his life.

Fan Roy laughed, slapped Byrne on the forehead, and pushed him away: "It's almost time, go change your clothes."

Byrne refused to let go of Fan Roy just like that, leaned forward to steal a kiss, and then quickly withdrew: "I'm going to change clothes."

Byrne put on the military uniform again, and put the medals on his chest one by one in front of Fan Roy. One or two seemed to be of little weight, and the more they were added, the heavier they became, as if the medals were heavier than the medals. There is a sense of reality, and even Fan Roy feels the impact, and he can't help but reach out and touch it lightly.

Byrne was awarded the Galaxy Medal today, so he didn't wear it. Except for the Southern Star Cross and the First and Second Class Military Merit Medal, Van Roy could not recognize all of those medals.The various medals of the Alliance have different styles, but you can guess from the color and system of the ribbon. The highest first-class Galaxy Medal is the only one with a black ribbon. Basically, the darker the ribbon, the higher the military merit.Almost half of Byrne's medal is a dark ribbon.

"What are you thinking?" Byrne took Van Roy's hand and pressed his palm against his chest, covering the medals.

Van Roy looked up at Byrne, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Let me tell you, the Alpha I chose makes me very proud."

Byrne sighed softly and didn't answer.Van Roy wanted him to return to the Special Operations Department, but he hadn't made up his mind yet. He didn't want to leave Fan Roy, not for a second.Just now, he and Locke went to see Lieutenant General Fordman, and he was talked about for a while, but Lieutenant General Fordman's words were not as good as Van Roy's words, which made him hesitate and made him feel uncomfortable.

Van Roy didn't say any more, he could feel Byrne's mood, and he knew he would make a decision.

The awarding ceremony was more grand and grand than Fan Roy thought. Not only were many high-level officials from the military, political, and legal circles of the Alliance attended, but those who could not come in person participated through holographic projections, and even the president came in person.

The opening speech naturally had to be given by the president, and this speech was broadcast live on the entire network and completely open.The Marshal gave a public address on the military report just two days ago, followed by the President's speech, and even a five-year-old knew something big was going on.

The president's speech was not very long, less than an hour in total, but every word of his was so loud that people couldn't help but listen to it and agree with it.

"...The alliance was established 460 years ago, what unites us is not our skin color, not the dogma of our beliefs, nor the origin of our surnames, but the ideas we share, the self-evident truth—— All men are created equal, we are created by our Creator and endowed with inalienable rights, including the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Today, we continue on this eternal journey, let those words be embodied in our In the realities of our times. For history has taught us that while these truths are self-evident, they have never been automatically fulfilled. A gift from the Creator, to be fought for and defended by each of us...We gather here for the In honor of the heroes who have sworn to the death to defend the truth we believe in..."

The president's speech went straight to the hearts of the people and attracted bursts of applause, but Van Roy looked at Byrne. He and Byrne interlocked their fingers, and he seemed to be sharing the glory that belonged to him.

Byrne turned his head and looked at Fan Roy, and laughed: "Why do you keep staring at me? You worship me so much?"

Fan Roy also smiled: "A little bit."

"A little?"

Fan Roy shook his head: "It's not so much worship as understanding." What Fan Roy valued was never a "hero". What he understood was Byrne as an "ideal practitioner" who insisted on justice and faith in his heart. People who are tireless and forge ahead.

Byrne leaned close to Fan Roy's ear and whispered, "Alo, you must not know how sexy your eyes and your understanding are now."

Van Roy smiled: "I know."

"...Oops. You're sexier smiling like that."

Admiral Walter walked towards them in the distance, and Van Roy nudged Byrne with his elbow, keeping him a little distance away.

"Major Byrne, Mr. Fan, good evening."

"Hello, Admiral Walter." Van Roy greeted Admiral Walter politely, and Byrne stood upright and gave a military salute. Although he didn't want to see Admiral Walter, the situation was much higher than him. Senior officer, he had no choice.

"I won't bother you two." Admiral Walter smiled and handed out a velvet gift box to Fan Roy, "I want to hand over this item to Mr. Fan."

Fan Roy frowned: "What is it?"

Admiral Walter waited for Fan Roy to take it before saying, "The golden star. It belongs to Mr. Zhou Yi."

The Golden Star is not a military medal, but the highest level of medal awarded by the Alliance to civilians who have made outstanding contributions. It has not been awarded by the Alliance for many, many years.

"..." Fan Roy looked at the pure gold star-shaped medal lying in the velvet gift box and was speechless for a moment. That's how Admiral Walter handed Byrne's Galaxy Medal to him back then, and the mood at that time seemed to sweep over again .

Byrne's palm rested on Fan Roy's lower back, as if giving him support and strength, which gradually calmed him down.

"Thank you, Admiral Walter."

Zhou Yi was dead, and he had no other relatives. This medal meant nothing to him, but it was what he deserved, so Fan Luoy accepted it for him.Among the billions of stars in the universe, Zhou Yi is just one of them that has never had a name, but no one can take away his light.

Admiral Walter wanted to say something else, but the phone vibrated suddenly caught his attention. He glanced at the message and hurriedly bid farewell to Byrne and Van Roy, turned and left.

Van Roy and Byrne didn't think much about it at first. It's normal for Admiral Walter to be busy as the head of the Special Warfare Department.But after a while, they found that there were some people missing in the venue, all of them were from the Special Warfare Department, including Lieutenant General Fordman.

The award ceremony is about to officially begin, and the crowd is slowly gathering towards the podium.

Byrne held Fan Roy by the hand, feeling inexplicably nervous. He had never received an award in front of so many people.

At this moment, Byrne's cell phone rang, and he took it out to take a look. A number flashed on the screen - 001S.

Van Roy immediately noticed the change in Byrne's mood and asked, "What's wrong?"

Byrne said nothing. 001S is the emergency task number of the Special Warfare Department. The smaller the number, the higher the urgency. The letter at the end starts from S and ABCDE level [-] is the response range. Return to the team immediately.

Locke walked over quickly: "Are you coming?"

Van Roy quickly asked Locke, "What's going on?"

"I don't know. I just received the mission notice and urgently called people back to the team."

Van Roy looked at Byrne, who still didn't speak or move.Byrne's discharge report was suppressed by Major General Lin Zhen, who only gave Byrne a false approval. In theory, he is still a member of the Special Warfare Department, and he has to obey the dispatch when he receives the task.If he does not respond, he will give up his military service completely.

Locke sighed: "I'll go first."

Fan Roy reached out and touched Byrne's cheek: "Go, what are you doing?"

"...Alo..."

"Understood, let you owe another beating. Go quickly."

"..." Byrne hesitated, looked at Fan Luoyi's calm and firm eyes, couldn't help kissing him, "Wait for me to come back."

"come home early."

"it is good."
