After he received the invitation, someone from the military summoned him to the police station and told Yu Quezhou that they were tracking the illegal transactions of the Alcott family in the country. The military now has most of the channels under control, but they still need to enter the Alcott Manor to find some key evidence. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they want him to cooperate with the military.

"Of course, this operation is quite dangerous, and we may not be able to take care of you." The leading man handed him a pistol: "To ensure your safety, you can shoot him at any time."

Yu Quezhou looked at the man in confusion at the time, and felt that what he said was very strange, which made him think, "If I really need his cooperation, wouldn't the best cooperation be to hand over the invitation letter?"

Olcott Manor is very large, and if they need to ambush, they will definitely alert the enemy. But Yu Quezhou changed his mind and thought that perhaps they just need to sneak into Olcott Manor before Ashburn realizes it. Even if they are discovered by him, the enemy will not be able to fight against the military with their current strength.

But he couldn't understand why, no matter from which angle he looked at it, the military could perfectly complete the task from their own perspective, and bringing him along might be a burden.

However, this was exactly what Que Zhou wanted, so he just nodded in agreement. Countless experiences in the past had given him a tacit understanding that "there is no need to seek answers for everything". He did not ask why, nor did he get to the bottom of it, because this time, he wanted to take revenge himself.

Although he was unable to use this pistol, after Yu Quezhou completed his revenge and returned the pistol, he suddenly wanted to know the other party's name... because this face always gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling, but Yu Quezhou was very sure that he had never seen the other party in his past flashbacks.

As he thought about this, his heart moved slightly, and he asked, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."

The man was worrying about the corpse in the house when he suddenly heard this question. He turned his head and met Yu Quezhou's dazzling amber eyes, who were now looking at him calmly.

At that second, an idea came to the man's mind. It seemed that Yu Quezhou asked the question with the answer in mind. He would wait for him to answer and then match his name with the name in his memory.

The man thought about this and suddenly laughed. He said "Oh" and said "I actually forgot about this" while saying to him, "My name is Yuyou."

youyou?

Yu Quezhou confirmed that he had never heard of this name, and thought to himself, "Did I guess wrong?" The curiosity that was slightly rising in his heart disappeared, and he nodded at the other party and walked out of the room first.

He looked up and saw the sky was as dark as ink and the moon was sparkling.

The night is still long.

But this time, their dawn has finally arrived and will never be extinguished again.

——

Yu Quezhou rushed back as he had said to Xiang Wanning on the phone before. After returning home, he found out that she was called to rescue a crew, and hurried to the crew. He was worried that Xiang Wanning would be a little resistant after learning about these things. He didn't want to hide what he had done, but he didn't want to show his other side to her so bluntly.

But it was not until Yu Quezhou came to visit the set with refreshments for the entire crew, and when she excitedly threw herself into his arms, listened to his brief account of what happened in Country Z, and then unconsciously walked around him, checking with a worried look on his face whether he was injured, that Yu Quezhou felt that his previous worries were unnecessary.

He felt that he was violent and cruel, and perhaps even his colleagues could not understand his hatred, but when Xiang Wanning heard that he and the military had completed this mission together, she only felt worried and distressed.

As if seeing what Yu Quezhou was thinking, Xiang Wanning reached out and smoothed his unconsciously furrowed brows. She was a little annoyed and helpless, and finally said, "But I said before that I am willing to accept all of you, including all your strengths and weaknesses. I know you have your own set of standards in your heart, and I also know that you must have your own reasons for doing this, but since even the military has not blamed you, why do you blame yourself?"

Yu Quezhou couldn't help but blink, and obediently lowered his head to let her touch the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you going to ask me why?"

"My sister told me that everyone has secrets. She told me not to research hard to find a result. I also think what my sister said makes sense." Her hand moved slightly downwards and touched his chest, tapping on Yu Quezhou's chest: "I can feel your heart completely open to me, and I can also feel the past that you don't even want to mention. I know that if I ask you, you will definitely tell me the reason, but it doesn't matter, I also know that you will tell me one day."

"I will wait for your heart to untie." She finally said, "You also have to protect yourself with their permission."

Yu Quezhou knew what she meant by "they". They were the military that accompanied him and the righteous and inviolable law. He couldn't help but rub his cheek against her palm and said, "Okay."

He paused, and then seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's over."

Even though they were hiding in a quiet corner, they could still hear the various shouts from the crew. Xiang Wanning played a female cultivator this time. She wore a blue and white cultivator's robe and a white jade hairpin in her hair. She was clearly a cold and aloof senior sister in the play, but in front of Yu Quezhou, her face was full of unrestrained smiles.

The next moment, the stagehand started shouting with a loud speaker: "Is Teacher Wan Ning here? Has anyone seen Teacher Wan Ning? It's your turn to shoot the next scene!"

When Xiang Wan Ning heard the voice asking her to work, she squeezed his hand reluctantly and said, "I'm almost done, please wait for me a little longer."

Yu Quezhou responded softly, watching her leaving. Just as he was lost in thought, he didn't know what the other party was thinking of, and suddenly turned around and ran towards him again.

"Something fell..."

Before Que Zhou could finish his question, she stood on tiptoes and gave him a light kiss on the cheek. All the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat by Xiang Wanning's gentle action. Then the tips of his ears began to turn red, and the heat in his heart surged, all of which turned into deep love condensed in his eyes.

"This is interest." Xiang Wanning touched the dark circles under his eyes. She didn't blame him for not taking good care of himself. She just said, "Filming is tiring. Please accompany me to have a good rest after I finish filming."

This romantic scene happened to be captured by Mu Qinghe who came to the crew from afar to shoot materials. Her hands were shaking with excitement, but the videos and pictures she took were not blurry at all. Perhaps this is the self-cultivation of a reporter and media person.

She repeated "I have gained popularity" several times in her mind, put her eating utensils on the ground, clasped her hands together, sincerely thanked the people who contributed to the popularity, and whispered a promise: "I will definitely adjust your filters to be super beautiful, put different background music, and let you play them on the top of my account in a loop... I love you!"

…

After the filming of Xiang Wanning was completed, Wanzhou CP quickly became a hot topic due to the "information" contributed by Mu Qinghe, and was exposed to the fans' sight. This made the CP fans of Xiang Zhinian and Chen Yanli unable to sit still, and they began to leave messages under the two's accounts.

[Sister!! Where is your candy?! Your sister and brother-in-law kissed in public, what's wrong with you two performing a kissing show for us! ]

[That’s right, I’ve been reposting material from a long time ago. Feel sorry for our fans QAQ. Or you can reveal more about your recent life. Woohoo, it feels like we’ve been abandoned.]

[They haven't appeared for a long time. I understand. They must have secretly got married without telling us! Don't say I'm talking nonsense. I'm serious! I'm not talking nonsense at all!! (Screaming, twisted and dark crawling)]

After a long time, the fan's guess was actually confirmed by two real people! [Chen Yanli: She participated in a competition in Country Y before]

[Xiang Zhinian: I haven’t gotten the marriage certificate yet, thank you for your concern]

The fans who were picked up screamed wildly, took screenshots and saved them crazily, and refreshed the homepage again amid the envious voices below, just in time to see that Xiang Zhinian had posted a new Weibo.

Xiang Zhinian V: I was lucky to represent China and win the women's figure skating championship from country Y. We are all great opponents!

The attached picture shows her standing on the podium holding the championship trophy.

She knows that the idol she is a fan of is really amazing!!

She typed with her blood boiling: [Sister, are you going to quit the entertainment industry so extensively? Next time, tell us in advance what championship you are going to win, and we will support you! ]

Under other comments, there are slogans such as "Win glory for China", "I declare that Xiang Zhinian is a sports star", and "Quit the entertainment industry if you want to, quit the entertainment industry, our journey is to the stars and the sea!"

Not long after, after "Wanzhou CP" and "Xiang Zhinian won the women's figure skating championship in Country Y", another topic suddenly became a hot search.

——Xiang Zhinian and Chen Yanli’s engagement party will be held on an island.

This bombshell directly made all the CP fans of Xiang Zhinian and Chen Yanli explode! They collectively announced the New Year, jumped up and down, and posted sweets in all the super chats related to the two of them. Their faces were filled with happiness and joy. They looked forward to the arrival of that day together and sent comments under their accounts: [We want to watch the live broadcast! ]

After the real owner replied "yes", everyone started to get ready to be the first to witness their happiness on that day.

So when that day came, after the live broadcast room was released, fans rushed in almost instantly.

They saw the blue sea in the camera, seabirds circling in the sky, and helicopters scattering rose petals, and the entire ground instantly turned into a rose-red ocean.

It seemed that one could smell the fresh fragrance on the ground and the sweet smell of the sea water through the screen. As everyone was immersed in this romantic atmosphere, a comment asked inappropriately: [It’s romantic, but won’t it be hard to clean up after it’s over? You can’t just ignore Chinen and the others, right? ]

But this comment was quickly blocked by Xiang Zhinian's fans: [Sorry, it's the Xiang Group's island, the eldest lady is just here, why do you care what she says? ]

[This is not something poor people like us should worry about, just go watch the live broadcast! ]

[Oh, look, look, Xiang Zhinian is so beautiful in a dress! ]

[Hey, why aren't you wearing a wedding dress? ]

Xiang Wanning was also puzzled by this question, because she knew one thing better than her fans: Xiang Zhinian had designed several wedding dress manuscripts, all of which were gorgeous and beautiful... Could it be that she was not satisfied with any of them?

She told her question to Yu Quezhou who was standing beside her, and saw that the latter seemed to have thought of something, with a gentle smile in his eyes, and whispered to her ear: "After all, it's an engagement party, so of course the wedding dress should be worn to the wedding, right?"

No one was invited to the engagement party. It was just the Xiang and Shen families who got together, and Yu Quezhou was brought along. It was called an engagement party, but it was more like a gathering of friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. There was no emcee, no host, and it didn't seem as solemn as the fans had imagined. It was very casual, but it made them feel the atmosphere of the two families.

If they were not so close, who would agree to such a simple engagement party that was not in line with their status? Everyone stood in the stands and drank together, and then watched them pour out their love to each other on the stage. The two exchanged rings amidst the increasingly loud heartbeats. At this moment, the breeze silently rolled up the rose petals, gently falling on them and on the kiss they exchanged.

Engagement rings should not be worn on the ring finger, but the two rings were worn firmly on it, as if they did not care about the world's opinion and they acted only according to their own feelings.

The two rings were not gorgeous, but they both had special meanings for the two people.

Xiang Zhinian's ring was made of scraps from various trophies she had won since she was a child. It didn't have a fancy appearance, it was just a simple metal circle, but it could easily capture Chen Yanli's heart.

"These are the trophies I won in the first half of my life. The blue one is the award I received from the school for skipping a grade to take the college entrance examination and winning first place in the city. The silver one is the first heavyweight trophy I won after entering the entertainment industry. The gold one is the championship I won in this competition in Country Y... I am very lucky to have you by my side along the way. You mean more to me than these trophies."

"Thank you." She paused, as if she felt that this sentence was too light, or that it was unnecessary to say it, and then said: "I often have all kinds of strange ideas, and I will quit the entertainment industry on a whim to do other things. I thought I couldn't settle down to do anything, but loving you may be the only thing I can be sure of and stick to."

Xiang Zhinian stretched out her hands and hugged his neck, her eyes were mixed with gentle and delicate light, she had a lot of things she wanted to say, those words that used countless rhetoric to describe the deep love, but at this moment, they were swallowed up by her.

There is no need to say more.

She thought that after meeting Chen Yanli's gaze, the surging love in her heart became real.

Then, Xiang Zhinian felt a crude, ugly but unique golden ring on her ring finger. She opened her eyes wide in surprise, looking at this familiar and childish shape, and asked in disbelief: "Could this be...?"

"Well, this is the first ring you designed, but my hands are not dexterous." He slowly touched Xiang Zhinian's face and rubbed it slightly: "I have all the traces you left here. I think I was sure of one thing a long time ago..."

As early as his youth, as early as the midsummer cicadas chirping, when the campus radio played the popular love songs of the time, when he turned his body during morning exercises, he would always subconsciously look for her figure.

He has already determined—

"I will always be yours."

…

Xiang Wanning leaned on Yu Quezhou, the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously, and she was the first to applaud them after they exchanged rings. As her eyes moved, there was a bit of envy hidden deep in her eyes.

But soon she opened her eyes slightly.

——Because the bouquet that Xiang Zhinian and Chen Yanli personally participated in making fell steadily into her arms thanks to the former's superb shooting skills.

She almost subconsciously looked at Yu Quezhou, moved her lips and wanted to say something, and saw that he was also looking at her at the same time.

Their breaths blended together, and deep in their eyes was the reflection of the indigo sky, the bright sunshine and the playful gazes of loved ones, each other's faces reflected in each other's eyes, and those words that could not be said were implied in each other's gazes.

At this moment, looking at Xiang Wanning's surprised expression and flushed cheeks, the whole world seemed to bloom in front of him. Yu Quezhou suddenly felt that perhaps his pace was too slow, so slow that everyone was urging him.

He seemed to have touched the sticky sea water, which unconsciously surged into his heart and brought a wave of itchiness, prompting him to speed up his pace so that he could kiss the girl in front of him more openly.

* After seeing this, Xiang Zhinian said to the person behind her: "I may have some talent in basketball." She said, "Next time...why don't you accompany me to try this sport?"

Chen Yanli intertwined his fingers with hers, the heat and wet sweat tightly connecting them. He smiled and responded, "My pleasure."

The finale will be tomorrow, and it should be a bit long. If I can’t finish it, I’ll post it the day after tomorrow, mwahaha!
