Luo Xiaoyi reached out her small hand to wipe away her tears and smiled to comfort her. In fact, she was also crying inside. She was terrified and panicked about the future, but she still forced herself to be calm and reassured Anna.

However, after so many hardships and moments of panic, Luo Xiaoyi still firmly believed that as long as she tried her best to find a way, there would always be a glimmer of hope.

"Hmm..." Anna obediently closed her eyes. She felt that Luo Xiaoyi was like a kind older sister, always protecting and comforting her. She felt warm and touched. God bless them to get out of this awful place.

Anna fell asleep, but Luo Xiaoyi tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. She racked her brains for a solution, but at this moment, she couldn't think of any good ideas. The high walls and iron gates of this prison were many times stronger than Erdan's house. Not even a fly could get out, let alone a person.

She glanced at the preparations...

The next day, the hellish training began. We got up at five in the morning to run three kilometers, do long jumps, jump into sandpits, swim, and crawl under sharp barbed wire. Whoever was slow and fell behind would be whipped by the bearded man. It was inhuman torture.

And so, they trained until 10 p.m., with only three meal breaks throughout the day, but even those meal breaks were very short, only 15 minutes.

Anna, a pampered young lady, had never been treated like this before. She was even worse off than Luo Xiaoyi, who was always the one being beaten. By the end of the day, her body was covered in bloody welts from the whip.

Luo Xiaoyi wasn't much better off than Anna. Anna was last, so Luo Xiaoyi was second to last. The rule was that the last person to be beaten would be punished, but Luo Xiaoyi didn't get whipped much.

However, how could such grueling training not result in injuries? When crawling forward, if the movements are not standard or the body is arched even slightly too high, not only will the clothes be torn, but the skin on the back will immediately be cut and bleed, causing excruciating pain.

She was a frail doctor who didn't exercise much. This brutal training was like putting her on the gallows, subjecting her to all sorts of torture. She felt like crying but couldn't. She remembered how powerful Han Yue's martial arts skills were. She realized that she had suffered so much. She realized that nothing was easy. You can't understand this kind of thing unless you experience it yourself.

Especially the swimming event. Luo Xiaoyi has a fear of heights and doesn't dare to jump off the three-meter diving platform to swim. Standing on the platform, she was trembling so badly that she felt like her body was going to break.

That bearded man wouldn't pity anyone; he was a super devilish coach. Seeing that Luo Xiaoyi had been standing on it for a minute and still didn't dare to jump, he lashed out with his thick leather whip!

Luo Xiaoyi felt a cold wind as the whip lashed past her ear. Terrified, she closed her eyes, steeled her resolve, and jumped in. She couldn't swim, and after a few thrashings, she nearly drowned. Luckily, Anna was a strong swimmer and rescued her.

Although Anna was a pampered young lady, born into a wealthy family, she possessed basic skills such as singing, dancing, swimming, and rock climbing. Thus, they supported each other through hardship, and Luo Xiaoyi overcame her weaknesses under such pressure, learning to swim.

After a long day, both Luo Xiaoyi and Anna were exhausted, feeling like their bones were about to fall apart. Anna stopped crying, probably because she felt it was pointless. They didn't even have the strength to speak, so they lay down on the straw on the ground and fell asleep.

The inhuman training continued day after day. The only saving grace was that Luo Xiaoyi and Anna gradually became stronger and less fragile than before.

One night, in this dark dungeon, with only a dim, weak yellow light, everyone else was asleep. The snoring and snores rose and fell, like the most peaceful music for their group. For the poor souls could finally drift into sweet dreams, which was the happiest moment of their day.

Luo Xiaoyi and Anna, however, did not fall asleep. They lay face to face on the straw and talked about their feelings.

"Xiaoyi, you never mention Ou Zihan. Can you really forget him?"

Anna looked at her fair and delicate face with a puzzled expression. She had lost a lot of weight, her face was more angular, and her chin was sharper. However, there was a hint of strength and courage in her dark eyes. Anna wondered what was hidden in her eyes.

Is Luo Xiaoyi really stronger than her? Can she really let go?

“Nana, Ou Zihan is the only man I have ever loved in my life. His name is engraved in my heart. How could I forget him so easily? But I’ve come to understand. Isn’t loving someone about wanting them to be happy? If fate has decreed that I am destined to be alone for life, then so be it.”

"Actually, in Ou Zihan's heart, she has always loved Bai Zhi. I was just a pathetic substitute for a while. It's all in the past. As long as they are happy together, that's all that matters. I will silently wish them well."

No matter how strong or good at pretending, Luo Xiaoyi couldn't help but feel sad and pained when talking about the man she loved.

In her clear, lake-like black eyes, a melancholy welled up uncontrollably, overflowing onto the surface like waves of sorrow and desolation, one after another, as if the water would never calm down, forever overflowing with grief... making one's heart ache and involuntarily want to shed tears.

Anna couldn't understand. Was true, great love about sacrificing oneself for others? But how much pain would that cause her? How many people in this world could be so devoted to the one they loved?

"Xiaoyi, you are so great. I can't do that. If the man I love is taken away by another woman, I will never bless that woman. I will curse that woman. I will take back my man. Tang Yu is the man of my life. I will never give up. This time, as long as I go back alive, I will still chase after him. I must have him!"

Anna spoke with unwavering resolve, and the will in her dark eyes was surprisingly strong and courageous.

Luo Xiaoyi looked at her, somewhat astonished. This kind of training only made Anna more like a moth drawn to a flame for love. Knowing it was a pit of fire, she still insisted on jumping in. Luo Xiaoyi couldn't help but worry about her and felt a pang of sympathy for her.

Sigh, when it comes to matters of the heart, outsiders see things more clearly than those involved. Who can say who's right and who's wrong? How could she not understand how hard it is to let go of someone she's fallen in love with? Someone as rational as herself, back then, even though she wasn't Bai Zhi, didn't she still choose to stay by Ou Zihan's side?

Sighing, thinking about all this, Luo Xiaoyi's heart ached uncontrollably. Her dark eyes, as clear as water, suddenly became wet. She rubbed her eyes, and her eyelashes were also wet.
