Chapter 22 Goodbye Steve
The next morning.
After finishing breakfast in the hospital early, Kyle changed into a brand new officer uniform that Joseph had sent to him in the ward, and a badge with a rank of subordinates.
Lu Xi was more concerned about Kyle's dress than he himself. He tidied up the officer's uniform, collar, sleeves, etc. around the left and right, carefully flattened the folds of the clothes with his hands.
"I'm not going to attend a celebrity banquet, there's no need to be so gentlemanly, right?" Kyle teased. Lu Xi seemed to be worried and didn't respond silently.
"What's wrong? Who bullies you?" Kyle continued.
Lu Xi seemed to have mustered up the courage and asked nervously, "Kelco, are you going to return to the battlefield with that big bearded officer?"
"The battlefield is not that fast, the mission has not been put out yet, I just went to the recruit base I had trained before." Kyle looked at her and smiled and said, "What's wrong? Even if it's an officer position, it's normal to go to the battlefield now."
"Then can I go with you?" Lu Xi lowered her head and pinched each other with her little hands in a tangled way.
Kyle said with a stern face: "Luxi. Do you think the battlefield is a fun place, and you forgot how you escaped?"
"But my... my family has died on the battlefield and my family has disappeared. If even you have left, then I will..." Lu Xi said, tears in her beautiful big eyes.
“This is a problem.”
Kyle touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "I have it. My home was originally here in New York, but my parents also died due to the previous war. Now they are empty and no one lives there. If you don't mind, you can live there first."
He had read his archives at the training base and knew that his identity was an orphan before joining the army, living in a retro villa left by his deceased parents.
The keys in the house are placed in a storage in New York, and can be taken out with a ID card.
"Do you live in your house?" Lu Xi opened her eyes wide, and her fair pretty face turned pink. Kyle's words sounded to her, which meant another meaning.
Isn’t this just living together early, although the other party is not always at home.
"It's okay to stay for as long as you want." Kyle smiled and touched Lu Xi's golden hair in a doting way.
He had no other thoughts about Lu Xi for the time being, but just treated her as a close look at her sister.
"Kel, you are so nice to me." Lu Xi's eyebrows and eyes were full of excitement, and she quickly tiptoed and kissed Kel's cheeks lightly, then fled from the room like a frightened rabbit.
"Uh, this is really..."
A subtle feeling arose. Kyle touched the cheek that was stolen and kissed, and quickly threw this thought out.
Now, it is not the time to talk about feelings comfortably.
We must continue to become stronger, strong enough to face all the unexpected crises that have happened in this world.
After accumulating military merits and promoting military ranks, gaining a certain reputation, power, and even wealth, there are still many things waiting for Kyle to work hard.
If you only want to be an ordinary person, you are so sorry for the ability to draw cards given by God.
Kyle has his own life blueprint and is waiting to add paint colors one by one.
About 8 a.m.
Joseph personally drove a jeep and picked up Kyle to the military parking airport.
Kyle said goodbye to Luci in New York, then boarded a helicopter with Joseph and returned to the original training base.
At this time, the training base on the other side.
The military specially set up a speech stage in the open space in the square. Steve gave a speech as Captain America, but there were political factors.
The base chief issued an order early, forcing all soldiers in the training camp to listen to speeches in the square on time, and anyone who did not go would be expelled from the military. What is interesting is that no officers attended this speech except soldiers.
Because not only soldiers, all officers sneer at Steve, who has never been on the battlefield but claims to be Captain America.
It is conceivable that Steve, wearing an American logo tights, came to the stage to give a speech and was destined to be strongly opposed by the soldiers.
In fact, it is indeed the case.
"Are you going to go and repair Hitler with me?"
Steve stood on the podium, facing the silence below, and wanted to warm the atmosphere and spoke to the hundreds of soldiers below: "Okay, are there any volunteers?"
"Nonsense. Why are we doing here without volunteers?" A soldier from the audience shouted impatiently, and all the soldiers sitting on the square burst into laughter.
"We want to watch the girls dance!"
Faced with the soldiers' disturbances, Steve responded awkwardly: "I think they can only sing one song later, so I want to deal with the extra time."
"Get out of you!"
"Little fairy, you should dance in your boots!"
The soldiers in the audience did not give him any face and became more and more troubled. Some soldiers began to smash the fruits or water bottles in their hands directly onto the stage.
Carter, who was behind the stage, clenched his fist and tried to help Steve, but he had no choice.
"Please, don't do this. I'm also the trainee soldier here before." Steve had no choice but to use the decorative props in his hand as a shield to block the miscellaneously smashed from the stage.
"What are you doing?"
A cold and powerful voice suddenly came from the back of the square, and suddenly, all the soldiers in the square looked behind them in surprise.
I saw a young man in an officer's uniform standing behind the soldiers at some point. He had a faint majestic aura on his body, and his eyes were sharp and cold, looking at the soldiers.
"It's the lieutenant, sir." After the soldier who was about to refute noticed the rank sign on the young man's chest, he swallowed his saliva in disbelief.
"Such a young lieutenant? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"I'm not older than us, are you?"
Amid the nervous whispers of many soldiers, some soldiers seemed to recognize the identity of the young man, and said loudly with complex expressions: "It's Kyle, Captain Kyle!"
Captain Kyle?
Many new recruits were slightly stunned, and their eyes became furious when they looked at the young officer again.
"Hey, it's really that one?!"
"Nonsense! Who else is there except Kyle, who is such a young lieutenant?"
"oh my god! American hero, he is my idol."
"Who isn't it? I came to join the army because of his deeds!"
The soldiers in the square were so excited that they couldn't speak. Finally, someone took the lead and shouted "Stand Up and Salute". Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers stood up and turned to salute the young man: "Hello, sir!"
"Thank you for your hard work, sir!"
Faced with their admiration, Kyle in the rear responded coldly: "I'll give up on salute. I was just one of you two weeks ago. But this is how you treat my brothers? That's all about the quality of being a soldier?!"
The soldiers looked at each other, finally gritted their teeth, and turned around again with quick reactions, bowed to Steve on the stage and apologized: "I'm sorry!"
Steve on the stage didn't say anything. Looking at the cold young man standing behind the soldiers, he felt really excited and ashamed.
He suddenly remembered for no reason that the sunset scene after Kyle won the shooting competition at the training base.
At that time, Kyle said to him: "Steve, from now on, no one dares to look down on us from now on."
