Upon hearing about the Black Shark smuggling gang, Yu Yao instantly woke up from her drowsiness. "Will there be any danger?"

After saying this, Yu Yao realized that she had asked a pointless question.

Lu Ze finished dressing, came over and tucked her in, smoothing her furrowed brows with his long fingers, and said softly, "Don't worry. It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."

Although Lu Ze said that, how could Yu Yao not worry?

This smuggling gang is large and powerful, and they are ruthless. To wipe them out in one fell swoop, a fierce battle is bound to be fought.

As the regimental commander, Lu Ze bears the heaviest responsibility. If there is any danger, he will definitely be at the forefront, which also makes him the most likely to get injured.

Lu Ze noticed her worry, and that's why he felt guilty.

Before deciding to become a soldier, Lu Ze had carefully considered this question, which is why he decided to remain unmarried for life and dedicate his life to the island after becoming a soldier.

He thought he would hold this thought until his death, but Yu Yao appeared and became the exception.

Protecting his country is his ambition and responsibility, but it will cause his family to worry about him.

All he could do, besides comfort her, was ensure his safety during each mission and treat her extra well.

Lu Ze held Yu Yao in his arms, gently kissed her forehead, and looked up at her with eyes full of heartache and guilt. "Yu Yao, I'm sorry!"

“No need to apologize,” Yu Yao gently stroked his face. “From the moment I agreed to date you, I was prepared to become a military wife.”

"Besides, your partner isn't as fragile as you think." Yu Yao winked playfully. "Alright, Company Commander Song must be getting impatient, you should hurry up and go."

Lu Ze hummed in agreement. "I'm leaving."

Yu Yao quickly put on her coat and slippers. "I'll see you off."

Upon reaching the courtyard gate, they encountered Aunt Meihua, who was seeing Commander Lei off. The two watched Lu Ze and Commander Lei depart before returning to their rooms.

It was still early, so Yu Yao went back to her room to continue sleeping.

I slept very restlessly and even had a nightmare.

In his dream, Lu Ze and Commander Lei led their soldiers and border guards to Black Shark's lair. Unexpectedly, this group was the same group that attacked the patrol boat last time.

They were well-equipped, and the troops and border guards were running low on weapons and ammunition, falling into the enemy's trap. In this critical moment, Lu Ze chose to cover their retreat in order to save them.

Even knowing he might not return, he remained calm and composed.

Lu Ze stood in the sea of ​​fire, holding their wedding photo in his hand. He kissed the photo and whispered to her, "I'm sorry, I broke my promise."

The moment the explosion occurred, flames illuminated the island, and Lu Ze's figure was quickly engulfed by the fire.

"Lu Ze!" Yu Yao suddenly woke up from her dream, covered in sweat.

She was panting, looked around, touched her rapidly beating chest, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness it was just a dream!"

She checked the time; it was just five o'clock.

Lying in bed, I couldn't fall asleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I would think of the scene in my dream where Lu Ze was swallowed by a sea of ​​fire.

Well, it's getting late, I should get up and make breakfast.

Yesterday, Wu Wanying gave me some glutinous rice flour; let's make rice noodle rolls instead.

Without hesitation, Yu Yao got up, washed up, opened the door, and took a few eggs from the chicken coop behind the fence.

We currently have three chickens at home, and they lay at least one egg every day, sometimes up to three.

Since we started raising chickens, we've never lacked eggs at home.

I don't know if it's because she eats eggs every day, but her health is indeed better than before.

Wu Wanying said yesterday that she had gained some weight since she first arrived on the island, and that Lu Ze had taken good care of her.

"Yu Yao, are you touching the eggs?" Su Meihua's voice came from the side.

Yu Yao looked up and saw Su Meihua standing in her private plot picking vegetables. The bamboo basket next to her was full of fresh vegetables, and the bright green bok choy was still covered with dew, indicating that she had been picking them for quite some time.

"Is Sister-in-law Meihua still awake?"

Su Meihua looked distressed. "You don't know, after Lao Lei left, I only slept for two or three hours before my brat woke me up with a flood. Now I can't sleep at all."

By the dim light of day, Su Meihua noticed a hint of worry in Yu Yao's eyes and guessed what she was thinking, "Worried that Commander Lu didn't sleep well?"

Yu Yao hummed in agreement. "After Lu Ze left, I had a nightmare. I dreamt that something happened to Lu Ze, and I've felt uneasy ever since."

“I understand how you feel. When I first arrived on the island, I would have nightmares whenever Lao Lei went on a mission. If he was on a mission for many days, I couldn’t sleep well at all.”

Su Meihua still remembers it vividly.

It turns out everyone is in the same boat. Yu Yao asked, "Then how did Aunt Meihua overcome it? Am I getting anxiety disorder because I'm so anxious?"

Before leaving, she assured Lu Ze that she wouldn't be so fragile, but she proved her mistake in less than a day.

Yu Yao didn't know what was wrong with her. She told herself to have faith in Lu Ze, but she still couldn't help worrying.

This situation is somewhat similar to the anxiety symptoms that trended on social media in my previous life.

Seeing her so distressed, Su Meihua couldn't help but smile. "You, this isn't anxiety, it's lovesickness. Newlyweds are all like this; it's a sign that you two are very much in love."

This was the first time Yu Yao had heard of such a thing, and her eyes widened. "Is this lovesickness? Is there really such a disease?"

She thought it was just something made up in romance novels to depict the feelings between the male and female protagonists.
