Chapter 1 I will continue to love you in the next life!

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!
