Therefore, some people took advantage of the situation. On the surface, it was a punishment and education for Li Junxian, and he was demoted. In reality, he was sent abroad on a mission under a different identity.

No one would have imagined that the old bachelor would go even further, spreading rumors everywhere and driving the young educated youth to drown himself.

It was three years later when Li Junxian successfully completed his mission and returned.

Li Junxian got promoted and returned to Qingshan Village.

By then, the old bachelor had already drowned in the water not long ago.

Li Junxian went to invite the village chief out and asked him to tell the truth about what happened back then in front of the villagers and the educated youth.

Regardless of whether anyone still remembers or believes it, he explained it clearly and plainly.

Finally, standing at the spot where the young educated youth had drowned himself, Li Junxian whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

If someone had intervened and stopped him, or if he hadn't been sent away for the sake of the mission, would the outcome have been different?

Perhaps this young educated youth wouldn't have jumped into the river.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

The river was very calm back then; even when the wind blew, it didn't cause a ripple.

In his previous life, Li Junxian did not marry or have children; he dedicated his entire life to the country.

Ahri closed the email account after seeing this.

The original owner died young and did not witness this final scene.

Therefore, she had no idea how many people had sacrificed their lives to conceal Li Junxian's identity and to expose the spy behind him.

Ahri sighed and was about to turn over when she suddenly noticed a dark figure standing in front of the bed.

"who?"

Ahri sat up and turned on the small bedside lamp.

It's her fault too; she was so focused on finding out what happened that she forgot to lock the door.

Li Junxian was also startled by Ah Li's sudden sound. He had been thinking about something and had habitually returned to his room.

Only after entering did I belatedly realize that Ah Li was sleeping in his room tonight.

Ahri patted her chest and said, "You scared me to death! It's so late. Did you just finish talking with your grandpa?"

"Um."

Li Junxian started to leave as he spoke.

Ah Li moved back a bit, making room for most of the bed, and said to Li Junxian, "It's so late, you should go wash up quickly and go to bed early."

Li Junxian didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ahri had already lay down and mumbled, "I'm sleepy, keep your voice down."

Li Junxian stood in front of the bed, hesitating for a long time, before finally taking his clothes to the bathroom to wash up.

After Li Junxian finished washing up, he lifted a corner of the blanket and lay down next to Ah Li.

Ahri smelled the same soap scent as Li Junxian and moved closer to her.

Li Junxian held his breath and slowly embraced Ah Li.

He remembered what his grandfather had just said: that the higher-ups were going to send him on a secret mission.

After returning, a promotion is inevitable.

In this era brimming with opportunities, as long as you dare to strive and forge ahead, a brilliant life and glory await you.

However, Li Junxian became a little sentimental at this moment.

"Ah Li, will you wait for me?"

Li Junxian spoke softly, then his lips lingered gently on Ah Li's cheek and earlobe.

Ah Li stirred, snuggling sleepily into Li Junxian's arms. "I'm so sleepy."

When it was light the next day, Li's mother told Li Junxian and Ali to go and get their marriage certificate.

After obtaining their marriage certificate, the couple even took wedding photos in this era.

After taking wedding photos, the next step is to hold the wedding banquet.

Time seemed to be running out, and Ah Li sensed from Li Junxian's sudden silence that something might be about to happen.

At night, Ah Li thought Li Junxian would be more proactive.

However, Li Junxian simply cuddled Ah Li while sleeping.

Ahri shifted slightly, puzzled. He had clearly wanted to that day, hadn't he?

Li Junxian wondered if Ah Li would be afraid if he left her alone at home while he went on his mission.

Although there are still Li's father, mother, and grandfather at home, they will take good care of Ali.

However, Li Junxian couldn't help but wonder if Ah Li would feel uncomfortable if he wasn't there.

Ah Li then asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Li Junxian then told him about his secret mission, adding, "Ali, I'll miss you."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Ali hugged him tightly. "Silly boy, don't you think about it? When we decided to be dating, I was waiting for you in Qingshan Village for more than half a year, and we still got through it."

Li Junxian wanted to say that things were different back then, but then he heard Ah Li continue saying, "Go, no matter how long it takes, I will wait for you."

"Ah Li".

Li Junxian let out a low shout.

Then, looking down at Ah Li, who was now his wife, he felt that he had wasted too much time. Today was supposed to be his wedding night.

Thinking of this, Li Junxian's heart raced, and he grabbed Ah Li's hand.

Ah Li could feel the heat in Li Junxian's palm, as if it could burn a person, and the two heads slowly moved closer together.

In the end, no one knew who made the first move, but Ahri whispered, "Light."

Li Junxian reached out and turned off the small bedside lamp.

In the darkness, only faint sounds could be heard.

...

After that day, Ah Li never asked Li Junxian when he would leave.

Li Junxian also put everything else aside, only wanting to spend this time with Ah Li.

The beautiful moments flowed by slowly amidst their sweet interactions. Ah Li's eyes were filled with longing for Li Junxian, while Li Junxian's eyes revealed his deep love for Ah Li.
