In the darkness, his eyes gleamed, incredibly bright.

"...I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come see you..." he said softly.

Splash!

Overwhelmed with joy, Xu Manzhi rushed into his arms, nuzzling him and greedily inhaling his scent.

She looked up and grinned mischievously, her eyes narrowing: "What a coincidence, I can't sleep either..."

Yan Lin's shoulders were strong and powerful. Nestled in his arms, she felt extremely comfortable and wished she could hold him like this forever.

But before he could absorb enough of his scent, a beam of light swept over.

"Who is there?"

Yan Song's voice came from the courtyard.

He glanced around and saw the two of them. Startled, he quickly turned off the light. Yang Fen, who was behind him, was also caught off guard and saw the two embracing.

Yang Fen couldn't help but laugh.

She joked, "What's the rush? Tomorrow is your big day. Go back to sleep and get some rest. It's not customary for the couple to meet before the wedding; it's considered unlucky."

Xu Manzhi didn't care about etiquette.

But this was a major life event for her, and since things had come to this point, she wanted to avoid any complications. Reluctantly, she said, "You should go back first. We can stay together forever tomorrow."

"good."

Yan Lin was caught red-handed and felt a little embarrassed.

He lay on the hard bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. As if possessed, he found himself at Commander Yan's doorstep and unconsciously whistled.

With the slightest movement, he saw the woman he cherished most.

He was so excited and enthusiastic, like a raging fire burning through his body, that he was completely satisfied and naturally agreed to whatever she said.

Time passed second by second.

As dawn broke, bugle calls sounded in the military region, waking up a new day and ushering in a long-planned grand occasion.
