The fragmented words were engulfed by the blazing flames that filled the sky. Before his eyes, that light gradually transformed into a girl.
With a smile on her face, she walked out of the light and pulled him out of the darkness, rescuing him from the abyss. She tightly embraced him, who was immersed in a cold world.
She was not afraid; she was gentle. She was willing to give everything to accommodate him. She said, “We will be together forever and never be separated again.”
Her embrace was warm, so warm. It was as if she was enveloped by the sun at that moment, melting away the years of turmoil, icy winds, and snowy landscapes. He thought he was destined to be abandoned, destined for a tragic end. However, he never expected that she could also save someone like him, who was destined for hell.
Because she was the light that shone from heaven onto mortals.

When Su Qiuge woke up again, her forehead was covered in cold sweat. At the same time, a muffled thunder sounded from outside. Her gaze fell on the chandelier above her, and after a moment of astonishment, she suddenly sat up.
The sky outside was still dark, and the wall clock showed that it was four o’clock in the morning. Then a flash of lightning illuminated her eyes, and as the lightning passed, the scene of that sea of fire reappeared before her eyes. The louder thunder followed, causing her to involuntarily clench her wrist. She turned her gaze to the window and saw that a heavy rain had started outside.
She took a deep breath and stumbled out of the bedroom. She wanted to see him, desperately.
The whole house seemed dimly lit at this moment. From a distance, she saw someone leaning on the desk, supporting their chin and closing their eyes. It seemed that they had fallen asleep while working on documents.
Her anxious heart suddenly relaxed, and her tense breathing calmed down. She slowly approached and noticed the suit jacket beside him. She gently picked it up and draped it over his shoulders. Then she gazed at him with great care. Her gaze traveled from his long eyelashes to his handsome nose bridge and finally settled on his slightly thin lips. His sleep was always light, so when she approached him at this moment, he slowly opened his eyes.
As she locked eyes with him, she was taken aback for a moment before he pulled her into his arms. Despite the muffled thunder outside, his embrace was exceptionally warm.
Seemingly still half asleep, he rested his chin on her shoulder and hoarsely called out to her, “…Qiuqiu.” For some reason, her nose tingled at the sight of him, and she immediately hugged him amidst the thunder. She suddenly realized how difficult it was for two people to be together in this world, and being able to be with him was the greatest happiness.
She softly said, “Why are you still up so late? Don’t work so hard, okay? I can take care of myself just fine. Why did you earn so much money?” Hearing this, he looked up at her and chuckled softly, “I’m willing to.”
She glared at him and then continued, “If you die prematurely because of this, I’ll use your inheritance to support some young fresh meat.”
She was sweating profusely, with beads of sweat dampening her hair and sticking to the side of her face. Although she pretended to be tough, her face remained pale. Thinking that she was awakened by the thunder, he took a tissue and calmly wiped the sweat off her forehead, then pulled her into his arms and asked, “Did you wake up so early? Can’t sleep?”
She blinked and buried her head in his embrace, holding him tightly, and whispered, “I had a nightmare.” He was slightly startled, and then she asked, “Do you think people have past lives?”
He looked down at her, then lifted her horizontally in his arms and walked slowly towards the bedroom. The sound of the pouring rain on the window was loud as he placed her on the bed, looked at her, and said, “I think they do.” She looked back at him, not knowing what came to her mind, and then a smile appeared on her face. She hugged him tightly and softly said, “Then in my next life, I want to be with you too.”
He lifted the blanket and embraced her, placing a kiss on her forehead. His embrace was warm, gradually calming her restless heart, until she closed her eyes.
No matter when or where, I always want to be by your side. Wherever you are, I’ll follow without hesitation.

Not long after, she received a wedding dress. He hadn’t mentioned it to her before, and she didn’t pay much attention to it. However, she unintentionally discovered a design sketch on his desk. She stared at the dress on the sketch for a while before realizing that it was actually a wedding dress. The skirt was gathered in a fishtail style.
She was already amazed when she saw the design drawings, but she couldn’t take her eyes off the actual dress when she went to the physical store. The silver scales attached to the hem of the dress shimmered like moonlight, and the gathered fishtail was flawlessly beautiful.
She could never imagine what her wedding day would be like. Time passed quickly, and suddenly that day arrived. She didn’t even have time to react, but it quietly approached.
