She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 981: Chapter 1037: Liu Yilan Has Left

This life meeting you is my greatest fortune, and I am proud of it.

My dearest friend, one day in the future, I will also make you proud.

Our friendship took root in the autumn with leaves fluttering down, sprouted in the cold winter, and parted in the blossoming spring. The harsh winter did not defeat us; instead, it made us trust and grow more. I believe that in the future, we will reunite in a summer filled with stars like a sea.

Our brief separation is to pursue a better tomorrow, to make our friendship like aged wine, ever more fragrant.

I’m leaving! To pursue, to strive, for a better tomorrow. Like a phoenix spreading its wings, my future will soar to the heavens, standing on the world’s stage, bringing glory to the country. Let the whole world know that in the distant East, there is an ancient country brimming with new vitality.

Don’t worry!

Your closest friend, Liu Yilan.

1984, April 28th.

After reading Liu Yilan’s letter, Sheng Ning couldn’t hold back her tears, laughing and crying at the same time.

“Stop crying, Xiao Ning.” Xu Qigang, flustered and at a loss, sneaked a glance and quickly read through the lines, suddenly feeling a bit jealous. Luckily, Liu Yilan is a girl; if she were a guy, he’d probably be swimming in a tank of vinegar.

Meanwhile, Wu Youli and Lu Dabao at the General Union Dance Troupe also received Liu Yilan’s letter. At that time, the two were in rehearsal, Wu Youli’s drama group was separate from Lu Dabao. After reading the letter, she cried like a child.

Lu Dabao rushed in like a whirlwind and threw herself into Wu Youli’s embrace, crying like a little child.

“Wuwuwu… Liu Yilan is gone, why didn’t she tell us before she left! Wuwuwu… I’m so sad, if I’d known, I would have saved all my snacks for her.”

Lu Dabao cried, smearing tears and snot on Wu Youli, regretful for not having the chance to say goodbye.

“Me too, I was so stupid, just engrossed in watching movies and didn’t realize anything was wrong with her.” Wu Youli blamed herself deeply.

“Wuwuwu… I’m so sad! I’m really very sad.”

Originally, Wu Youli was very sad too, but after hearing Lu Dabao’s words, she suddenly couldn’t cry.

“Don’t cry anymore, she’ll come back, she’ll be back soon.”

“But I heard Austria is so far away, maybe we’ll never see her in this life.”

“Liu Yilan is destined to become an artist, even if we can’t meet face to face, we can still hear her name, see reports about her. As long as she’s doing well, I’m satisfied.”

“But… I never got to give her my snacks.”

“You… you should keep them for yourself! Liu Yilan doesn’t like snacks.”

“Oh!”

In the years to come, whenever anyone mentions Lushan Love, Wu Youli would think of the day Liu Yilan astonished everyone with her beautiful temperament. Such a pure smile, taking root in her heart.

She believes Liu Yilan will be more exceptional than the Phoenix in the drama.

She looks forward to her glorious return, waiting for her to bring glory to the nation, to bring glory to China.

At National Security University, it was just the end of class time. Su Huai’an had long stopped actively seeking out Chen Huaying, but because An’an came. Loving the house and its crow, he treated the obedient girl An’an as his sister, naturally caring deeply.

Whenever he had time, he would go find Chen Huaying, fearing An’an might be led astray if she followed her.
