The prison gates clanged open, and a gaunt woman emerged.

The cold wind pierced her thin clothes.

Seven years in prison had ravaged her, leaving her emaciated. Her once beautiful face was now sallow and dull, like a withered rose, its color faded, its moisture lost, turned into a dried flower.

Dark clouds, drizzle, and a biting wind.

Having regained her freedom, she didn't know where to go, who to see, or what to do…

No one came to pick her up.

She deserved it.

Aimlessly, she walked for an unknown amount of time, when a police car stopped beside her.

She stopped.

A police officer stepped out of the car, saluted her, and she looked up for a long time before recognizing him.

"Is that… is that Xu Yi…?"

"Sister-in-law! Get in the car!"

She struggled into the car, her eyes vacant, and looked at Xu Yi sitting beside her, saying, "Xu Yi, did you retire from the military?"

How many years had it been since she last saw him?

She couldn't remember. In her memory, he was the youngest soldier in the Blood Wolf Special Forces, someone he valued the most.

He…

The image of that drill instructor in camouflage uniform, wearing a black beret, and holding a megaphone appeared in her mind. A wave of sadness welled up, and she lowered her head, large tears rolling down her cheeks.

She still had tears, tears shed for Lu Beixiao.

Lu Beixiao…

Her husband, who had passed away seven years ago.

"Sister-in-law, I've been retired for two or three years!" Xu Yi said, seeing her shoulders trembling, crying.

"Don't be sad. Now that you're out, live well in the future. You're still young. Cherish the property and assets that Team Leader Lu left you. At worst, you can start over!" Xu Yi said in a deep voice.

Seven years ago, shortly after Lu Beixiao's sacrifice, she was arrested by the procuratorate.

Xu Yi's words made her even more painful. She was sorry to that man, she was sorry to him!

"Sister-in-law, this is the will that Team Leader Lu wrote before carrying out his mission. It has been kept in the Special Forces, and only now is there an opportunity to hand it over to you." Xu Yi said, taking an envelope from his pocket and handing it to her.

Her eyes were blurred with tears as she stared blankly at the envelope.

"We in the Special Forces have a habit of writing a will before each mission. Team Leader Lu was an invincible soldier king, full of pride, and never wrote one, but that time, he wrote a will seriously… and it really became a will." Xu Yi's voice was a little hoarse, like a storyteller telling a sad story.

Her thin hand trembled as she took the envelope…

Martyr's Cemetery

Her gaze was locked on the photo on the tombstone, her fingers gently stroking that chiseled, resolute face, as if he were right in front of her.

"When you were alive, I didn't cherish you… I deserve to die, not listening to you, insisting on believing Li Yun and Shen Xichuan, and being framed by them and imprisoned…" Her voice trembled uncontrollably.

He "looked" at her expressionlessly, the corners of his lips seemingly curved in a faint smile, mocking her for being foolish.

However, Lu Beixiao, who loved her with all his life, would never bear to ridicule her…

Only now did she understand how deep his love for her was.

"I'm not worth it… not worth your love! Lu Beixiao! How can you… how can you put me in such a predicament?! How… how can I have the face to live on?!" She knelt down, her head pressed against the small photo, her arms embracing the tombstone, crying.

In his will, he said: Ye Qiao, live well! I bought the waterfront courtyard you liked for you. If you want, go and live there. If you don't want to, turn it into an inn and rent it out. If we meet in the next life, you must fall in love with me at first sight, understand?! Don't be blind and fall in love with scum again! In the next life, I will continue to love you!

The drizzle fell, quickly soaking her through. She walked out of the cemetery's side gate like a walking corpse, step by step.

The cold wind was biting, and a few withered leaves were blown off the branches, swirling and falling on the empty asphalt road.

Her figure was thin and tottering, like a withered yellow leaf on a branch.

In the next life, I will continue to love you.

So, in this life, Lu Beixiao did love her, loved her so deeply. She only realized it now!

She was so stupid, blinded by lard, always distrusting him, incited by her best friend, Li Yun, and ruined by Shen Xichuan, whom she blindly loved. The misunderstandings and contradictions between her and Lu Beixiao grew bigger and bigger!

A muck truck roared over, and her thin, leaf-like body was hit, sent flying, and rolled away. The screech of brakes pierced the sky!

She looked up at the sky, the smile on the corner of her mouth like a flower blooming in its final splendor.

It's good to die.

On the wet asphalt road, the woman lay in a pool of blood, unattended. Before she breathed her last, a person wearing a mask came to her and, in her dying moments, she heard that person say: "Boss, rest assured, she will definitely die!"

So, this was murder…

She tried hard to see the person's appearance clearly, but only saw a black mask and sunglasses.

Who is the boss?

—

Blood gushed from her body, blooming into a bewitching red rose beneath her. She looked at the sky and saw Lu Beixiao's handsome face.

She wanted to ask him: "Why do you still love me, so stupid and so unbearable?!"

She couldn't speak, his handsome face gradually blurred, and her body became colder and colder…

Meng Po, please don't let me drink the water of the Wangchuan River. I can't, I don't want to forget him…

If there is a next life, she must meet him first and fall in love with him!

"Welcome to J City Music Radio, FM94.6. It is now 2:00 PM."

The girl slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was an unfamiliar ceiling, the cool smell of alcohol floating in the hot air.

Tears still hung in the corners of her eyes, looking as if she had suffered a great grievance.

"Girl! If you cry again, things will get complicated!" After all, in the sweltering heat, a man and a woman were alone in a room, and he had even stripped off her thick school uniform that she wore all year round!

The young man by the bed had a buzz cut, and a tough, handsome face with a swelling of the liver smile. He was wearing a camouflage tank top, revealing his strong, bronze-colored muscles.

This was probably what Lu Beixiao looked like when he was twenty-one years old…

Has she arrived in heaven and met him? Tears flowed even more fiercely, she wanted to call him, hug him, but she didn't have any strength.

"Girl, are you crazy from the heat? Speak!" Lu Beixiao said again, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised.

At this moment, the girl's mouth seemed to be smiling again. That crying and laughing look really made him depressed!

Girl, she must be crazy from the heat!

In the high temperature of thirty-nine degrees, she was wearing a spring and autumn style school uniform. It was already lucky that she hadn't died from the heat!

"Listeners, good afternoon. Today is July 20, 1995, Thursday, the 23rd day of the sixth lunar month. Welcome to FM94.6…"

He turned down the volume of the radio until it was muted.

1995… 20 years ago…

Ye Qiao was stunned, and also saw NBA star posters plastered all over the wall, most of which were of Michael Jordan's golden age, who had been retired for many years. He was the idol of those children from the compound when she was young!

Wasn't she killed by a car? How did she return to 1995?

"Boss! Yo! A beauty is hidden here!" As soon as Lu Beichi entered the door, he saw a little beauty lying on the narrow bed. The beauty's slender, white Jade legs were very tempting, and she was wearing a large white T-shirt, so you couldn't see her upper body figure.

Those legs were too top-notch, how could her upper body be much worse?

Whose girl is this? How come he hasn't seen her before?

Lu Beichi was just about to step forward for a glimpse when a "dong, dong, dong" sound came from the doorway outside, clearly the sound of a group of people ascending the stairs.

"Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao!" A girl's anxious voice came from outside.

At this moment, Ye Qiao had regained consciousness and roughly understood what she had experienced.

And the owner of the voice coming from outside was none other than Li Yun, whom she hated to the core!

"Ye Qiao!" Immediately after, the door panel was forcibly kicked open, and Shen Xichuan rushed in, followed by a group of his people, all young lads from the neighboring Naval Compound.

"Shen Xichuan, you've got some nerve! How dare you barge into my place?!" Lu Beichi, who had always been at odds with Shen Xichuan, swung his fist and was about to go forward to beat him up. They were all young lads, at an age when their fiery hormones had nowhere to vent, spending their days fighting and brawling or arranging fights! Commonly known as scrapping.

Two young men following behind Shen Xichuan immediately stepped forward to protect him. They were also from the Naval Compound, one named Zhang Yaojie and the other Chen Damao, each with a fierce look. Seeing this situation, Lu Beichi refused to back down even more.

"You son of a b*tch! We have to scrap today!" Lu Beichi said fiercely.

"Qiaoqiao!" At this moment, a graceful figure squeezed out from the group of young lads. She wore a white dress and had a head of dark, shiny hair, with an anxious expression.

"Lu…Young Master Lu, don't misunderstand, we're here to find Ye Qiao…" The girl who came in was called Li Yun. Seeing Lu Beichi, she acted very shyly, playing the peacemaker. Anyway, with that idiot Ye Qiao around, she only needed to play the good cop!

At this moment, a tall and upright figure appeared at the doorway of the inner room. It was none other than Lu Beixiao, the Crown Prince of the Lu Commander's family in the Army Compound, the one even the adults had to avoid when they saw him!

Instantly, everyone in the room looked as if they were seeing King Yama, especially the group behind Shen Xichuan, who all subconsciously retreated.

When would they ever have the chance to see this deity!

In this Army Compound, whether they were older or younger than Lu Beixiao, which boy hadn't followed behind him since childhood, listening to his orders?

Lu Beixiao was actually here too!

Seeing Lu Beixiao, Li Yun's heart leaped wildly.

Broad shoulders, tight waist, long legs, bronze skin, well-defined muscles, a natural soldier's bearing! And more fatally, that handsome face was simply perfect!

This was a real man!

Compared to him, Shen Xichuan and Lu Beichi were like stars compared to the bright moon!

"Lu…" Li Yun opened her mouth, so nervous that she bit her tongue, looking at Lu Beixiao with watery eyes sending flirtatious glances, but he didn't even glance at her.

Lu Beixiao didn't say a word, but just standing there, the group Shen Xichuan brought had already quietly retreated out of the room.

Who would dare to disrespect this devilish king who could force the PLA uncles to call him boss in this compound? Were they looking for death!

Lu Beichi, emboldened by his powerful connections, raised his lips triumphantly, glaring at Shen Xichuan.

Shen Xichuan naturally trembled when he saw the Great Devil King Lu, but he had a trump card, so what was there to fear?!

"Qiaoqiao! Are you in there?!" Ye Qiao, the granddaughter of Ye, the old staff officer, wasn't she his trump card!

With Shen Xichuan's shout, there was movement in the inner room.

Ye Qiao got off the bed and slowly walked to the doorway. She was wearing a loose T-shirt and a pair of boxer shorts, revealing a pair of slender jade legs. Her forehead, palms, and soles of her feet had been wiped with alcohol, and she wasn't so hot anymore.

"Qiaoqiao! You're really here!" It was Li Yun who spoke, with a look of joy. However, when she saw Ye Qiao's legs and the delicate and beautiful face revealed after taking off the huge black-rimmed glasses, her heart tightened.
