The night progressed.
---------------
The officiant was Zhou Jingping's comrade, Yang Pengsheng from the Capital Military District, a man over fifty with a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Unlike Zhou Jingping's robust demeanor, he appeared refined and gentle, more like a university professor than a military officer if he weren't in uniform.
Looking at the couple before him, Yang Pengsheng felt deeply moved. He was well aware of the stalemate between Zhou Jingping and Zhou Mikang over the years, and he understood Zhou Jingping's hardships perhaps even more than Lin Yanqiu did. Now, seeing everything coming smoothly to a resolution, he was genuinely happy for Zhou Jingping from the bottom of his heart.
