He moved closer, wanting to see Shen Zhihuan's appearance more clearly.
Suddenly, a raging fire burst into flames before his eyes.
The raging flames licked at Shen Zhihuan's body, and a woman whose face was burned beyond recognition suddenly appeared and grabbed her wrist tightly.
"Shen Zhihuan, do you know you should have died long ago?!"
Her voice, distorted by the thick smoke, sounded particularly hoarse and unpleasant, yet the malice in her words was blatantly obvious.
"I've tried so hard to hurt you, but why are you still living such a good life? Even now that I'm about to die, you're still alive!"
"Chen Zhihuan, stay here and die with me!"
Shen Zhihuan tried to break free of her hand, but the fire in the scene only grew bigger and bigger.
The thick smoke made it almost impossible for her to breathe, and she coughed uncontrollably. Under these circumstances, she had no strength left.
However, the woman who was burned beyond recognition, on the verge of death, unexpectedly unleashed tremendous potential.
If this continues, Shen Zhihuan will definitely be dragged into the fire and burned alive.
The horrific scene caused Xie Lanshen's pupils to shrink suddenly, and his heart began to clench uncontrollably.
At the critical moment, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he saw his own figure appear in the fire.
"Let her go!"
In the scene, Xie Lanshen let out a low growl, pounced over and grabbed Shen Zhihuan's shoulders, pulling her tightly into his arms.
The woman's hand was forcibly pulled away a little, but she was unwilling to let Shen Zhihuan go so easily, and she still shouted with resentment in her eyes.
"Let her go? You should be the one letting her go. Why should someone come to save you now?"
"Shen Zhihuan, I want you to die with me!"
The woman mustered her last bit of strength and grabbed Shen Zhihuan's hand, refusing to let go no matter what.
If this continues, all three of them will die in the fire.
Xie Lanshen's eyes sharpened, and he knocked the woman unconscious on the spot.
He successfully rescued Shen Zhihuan from the fire. Inside the house, only her precious amulet lay on the ground, half of it already burned.
For a moment, Xie Lanshen couldn't distinguish between dream and reality.
Until Shen Zhihuan, with her eyes closed, unconsciously clenched her hand in her sleep.
His thoughts instantly returned to reality from the fire.
Xie Lanshen pressed his forehead, then looked down at their clasped hands and the talisman pressed in their palms.
His eyes had fully cleared, but the feeling of fear he had just experienced still lingered.
The fragmented images he had just seen made him feel very uncomfortable.
It was like some kind of omen, hinting that something was about to happen to him.
This feeling is absolutely terrible.
Xie Lanshen unconsciously tightened his grip on Shen Zhihuan's hand, gazing intently at her peaceful sleeping face, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.
He is not afraid of death; a timid person can't get into the army.
Xie Lanshen's father sacrificed his life while on official duty, but this did not dampen his fighting spirit.
From the very day he enlisted, he was already prepared to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and sacrifice himself at any time.
However, Shen Zhihuan was not included in these plans.
She was the person he deeply loved, and no matter what, Xie Lanshen hoped that Shen Zhihuan could live a good life.
He will always stay by her side and do everything in his power to protect her.
Just like the scenes in these dreams, no matter how dangerous the moment, he would always give Shen Zhihuan the chance to live as many times as possible.
"so."
Xie Lanshen sighed softly, took Shen Zhihuan's fingers and brought them to his lips, giving them a light kiss.
"Zhihuan, you must live a long and healthy life, free from worry."
-
Xie Lanshen has just returned to his post and has a lot of responsibilities.
Not long after the engagement, he officially went to report to the army.
Although the two weren't together all the time during this period, they were able to see each other every day, and they had just officially held their engagement banquet.
It's really hard to say goodbye so suddenly.
Fortunately, these emotions didn't last long. Shen Zhihuan kept her studies in mind and devoted herself to preparing for the exams.
On the other hand, after fainting from low blood sugar and nearly hitting her head, Lin Banxia realized that if she continued like this, her body would eventually develop serious problems.
She wanted to adjust her mindset, but she was just too busy on weekdays, not only having to complete her regular job but also having to perform charity shows everywhere.
Her work schedule was so demanding that she simply didn't have much time to focus on herself.
Song Mingqian also thought of this. During his vacation, besides visiting Cheng Wan in the hospital, he was thinking about how to take care of Lin Banxia.
It's impossible to go to work with her and make sure she eats on time.
He would wait in front of Lin Banxia's house every day at the appointed time, bringing her three meals a day that he had personally prepared.
Although the two didn't talk much, the atmosphere between them was much less stiff than it had been at the beginning.
But such days didn't last long, and soon it was time for Song Mingqian to return to the base.
Work couldn't be delayed, and no matter how worried he was about Lin Banxia's condition, he simply couldn't be in two places at once.
Filled with remorse, Song Mingqian cooked one last meal for Lin Banxia before leaving.
Holding a thermos, he waited in front of Lin Banxia's gate well before she left for work.
"I'm going back to base soon. After today, I won't be able to bring you food anymore."
Song Mingqian looked at Lin Banxia's slender figure against the light, his voice terribly dry.
"Work is important, but you must not ruin your health because of it. You... remember to take good care of yourself."
Lin Banxia's hand, which was resting on the door, suddenly tightened. For a moment, she couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.
"Don't worry, I'm over forty years old, I know how to handle these kinds of things."
She tried her best to make her voice sound calm and indifferent.
"You've had a tough time lately, and you're very busy with work. You should focus more on yourself."
Although they are still husband and wife, they speak to each other as if they were strangers who have only nodding to each other.
Lin Banxia even refused the food that Song Mingqian had brought.
"It's not easy for you to get up so early to cook. You should keep these things for yourself to eat on the way."
A slight pang of pain shot through Song Mingqian's heart. Seeing that Lin Banxia was about to leave after speaking, he quickly called out to stop her.
"I've already eaten; these were made especially for you."
