Zi Xi looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes, but with a relieved smile.
She took the jade pendant and gently held his slightly cool hand.
"good."
She only replied with one word.
There were no grand ceremonies, no worldly witnesses.
But in each other's eyes, they saw a shared future.
A mountain breeze rustled through the flowers, causing them to sway and filling the air with a delicate fragrance.
They stood on the edge of what was once an abyss, now surrounded by blooming flowers.
[Host~ Congratulations on completing the previous world. Emotional detachment in progress...]
[You have won the unwavering love of the male lead, Shen Li, and are rewarded with 3,000 points.]
[Only half of the original owner's wish was fulfilled this time, reward: 2000 points~]
[Because the original owner's wish was to become a lawyer, but unexpectedly, you, host, became a doctor.]
Zi Xi raised an eyebrow; this was the first time she had only fulfilled half of the original owner's wish.
Is it because the profession doesn't align with the original owner's preferences?
"Alright."
Zi Xi noted the problem down in her mind so that she could improve it in the future.
Work isn't always smooth sailing.
【Host, shall we continue?】
"Keep going, keep going."
Zi Xi stretched and did a set of radio calisthenics to warm up, and instantly regained her energy.
Working people, let's get going!

The July sea breeze, carrying a salty, damp scent, wafted through the half-open window and stirred the faded blue curtains of the division headquarters conference room.
Pei Jiwang, the company commander of a reconnaissance company of a naval division, stood upright like a pine tree, and the stars on his shoulder insignia were still clearly visible in the dim light.

And the refined-looking middle-aged man next to him, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Division Commander Li Zhanhu spoke in a loud voice, pointing to the chair in front of him.
Pei Jiwang sat down as instructed, his back still straight, his hands resting flat on his knees, a standard military posture.
He noticed that the middle-aged man with glasses was scrutinizing him with a gentle yet appraising gaze.
"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Shen Huai-ren, from Shanghai."
"They were important patriotic democrats and representatives of red capitalists who made outstanding contributions to the country."
Commander Li spoke first.
"Hello, Mr. Shen."
Pei Jiwang nodded slightly, his voice steady.
The title "red capitalist" carried a distant and complex feeling for him.
That was another world he was not familiar with.
"Company Commander Lu, I've heard so much about you."
"Indeed, he is exceptionally brave and a pillar of the nation."
Shen Huai-ren smiled and returned the greeting.
After exchanging pleasantries, Commander Li's expression turned serious. He picked up a document from the table, put it down again, and tapped his fingers lightly on the surface, as if considering his next words.
