Chapter 448: Chapter 448: A Tragic Wedding (Extra for Monthly Votes) Chapter 448: Chapter 448: A Tragic Wedding (Extra for Monthly Votes) Everyone could not bear to watch, on the pockmarked road, a man and a woman embraced each other tightly against the wind, uttering the most beautiful vows. At that moment, everyone cried.
Xiao Hu cried hysterically, his heart aching with shame for his own disgraceful doubts—how could he have questioned Doctor Bai��s love for the battalion commander! There was probably no one in the world who more closely resembled a comrade’s wife than Doctor Bai, so brave, sharing life and death, unwavering loyalty, such moving vows.
Yes!
The battalion commander and Bai Xiao had not yet married, but at this moment, Doctor Bai wanted to marry the battalion commander right here, on this battlefield where they faced death at any moment! It was a wedding that no one could have imagined, with no joyful celebration! Only sadness and sorrow.
Yet the two newlyweds used their most solemn vows to honor its heroism.
Xiao Hu led the applause.
These are the most beloved people.
Applause rose like a tide, tears welling up in everyone’s eyes.
The most magnificent wedding.
In the distance, the opposing commander’s gaze through the binoculars was also filled with tears. Despite not knowing what they were saying, he just knew that the man and woman were husband and wife, in a scene of life and death together.
He had seen the officer step on a mine, which was why they hadn’t fired! The original idea was to watch the other side struggle on the brink of death—that’s what was interesting, wasn’t it?
But then, to see his loved one walk up so fearlessly in the face of death, what immense courage that required.
How fortunate this man was to have such a loving woman.
He did not have the heart to order the cannons to fire, destroying such a couple, and his heart softened instantly.
There were still many beautiful things in this world, like at this moment he thought of his own wife and children far away at home. Yes, the world was so beautiful, life so precious, love so simple.
He put down the binoculars.
“Shall we fire now?” his adjutant asked, sensing his superior had been off since a while ago.
“No firing. From now on, everyone is to rest in place. Without my command, no one fires a single shot or shell,” he ordered.
He turned and left.
The adjutant nodded dumbly.
…
The song of the team members began to rise. At first, it was only a soft hum, but later everyone sang the Wedding March in unison.
Bai Xiao clung to An Zhiyuan! Looking into his eyes, this moment might become forever; she loved him.
Never had she understood her own heart as clearly as at this moment.
Although she possessed a special ability that no one else had, enabling her to live far longer than others, she was willing to spend her lifetime with him, together forever.
An Zhiyuan kissed his bride with utmost devotion.
Everyone shed tears; at that moment, An Zhiyuan and Doctor Bai appeared so noble and beautiful to them.
Bai Xiao suddenly pushed An Zhiyuan away, her eyes sparkling with surprise.
What had she forgotten?
Right, she had forgotten her special ability.
Oh my.
An Zhiyuan gave his orders to his team.
“Now the minefield is only five meters wide. Soon, I will use my own body to pave these five meters. I’m afraid the two wounded won’t be able to get out. My teammates, I hope you understand me; let the four of us end this battle with our lives. Vice Captain, once I break through here, you must clear a proper path out of here quickly. The craters caused by explosions are so big that no vehicle could pass unless they are filled. So your responsibility is immense. The enemy won’t just watch us fix the road. You’ll have to repair it under intense fire and notify the Transport Team to be ready to move out at any time,” he commanded.
That was his last order.
