Lin Chuan grinned and said, "Here we go."

Lin Chuan magically produced a cold beer.

"Ah, you... how did you do that?" Tang Yumeng asked in surprise.

"It's been cold all the way here," Lin Chuan smiled. "I kept it in a cooler while climbing the mountain, so the temperature was maintained."

"That's great." Tang Yumeng was overjoyed.

The two sat on a damp-proof mat, drinking beer and admiring the magnificent natural scenery. It was a rare and beautiful moment in life. After drinking the beer, they lay on the damp-proof mat facing away from each other. Tang Yumeng turned her head to look at Lin Chuan beside her and said, "Lin Chuan, do you think we can stay happy like this forever?"

"Of course we can!" Lin Chuan immediately nodded.

"But I feel like happiness is so elusive," Tang Yumeng sighed, then added, "It seems close within reach, yet far away at the horizon."

"Sis, you think too much," Lin Chuan laughed. "Happiness is actually very simple. Cats eat fish, dogs eat meat, and Ultraman fights little monsters. All these are happiness. Aren't we also experiencing happiness right now in our own little world in this forest?"

"But... I'm afraid that this happiness will soon vanish into thin air." There was a look of fear in Tang Yumeng's eyes, originally a very happy occasion, but for some reason, it seemed so frightening and fearful to her.

Suddenly, Lin Chuan understood—it was because Tang Yumeng had mild autism. She was always worried and fearful.

Ever since the incident with Tang Hao, Tang Yumeng had become somewhat fearful, especially about the things she cared about. Just like Lin Chuan, and the happiness at this moment. The more she cared about something, the more she cherished it, the more concerned she was, and she feared losing this present happiness.

"Sis, don't overthink," Lin Chuan gently held Tang Yumeng's cheeks, her delicate face as if meticulously crafted by the creator. Lin Chuan gently kissed her forehead and said, "Trust me, no one can take away the happiness that belongs to you."

"Really?" Tang Yumeng blinked her beautiful eyes, feeling an unprecedented sense of security at this moment.

"Yes." Lin Chuan nodded and said, "Because in my world, you are my everything. I absolutely won't allow my most beloved to suffer even a bit of injustice."

"Lin Chuan!" Tang Yumeng was so moved, her eyes turned red, and she hugged Lin Chuan's head, pressing her face against his face.

Tang Yumeng closed her eyes, tears of emotion streaming from the corners of her eyes.

Lin Chuan gently wiped away Tang Yumeng's tears and said, "Don't be afraid, everything will be alright."

"Thank you, Lin Chuan," Tang Yumeng said with a tear in her eye.

"Silly, do we still need to say thank you to each other?" Lin Chuan gently pinched Tang Yumeng's cheek and smiled, "I will protect you, protect you for a lifetime."

Tang Yumeng bit her red lip. Suddenly, Tang Yumeng sat up.

At this moment, Tang Yumeng made the most important decision in her heart, perhaps, the most impulsive thing she had ever done in her life. She immediately unhooked her bikini bra and slowly took off her panties.

In an instant, Tang Yumeng appeared completely naked in front of Lin Chuan.

"Lin Chuan, let me be your woman," Tang Yumeng bit her red lip, a blush on her cheeks adding a touch of allure.

At that moment, Lin Chuan was tempted.

For some time, he had fantasized about his romantic involvement with Tang Yumeng, wanting her to become his woman. However, despite his attempts, each was either sternly rejected by Tang Yumeng or ended with a slap from her.

He never expected happiness to come so suddenly.

Yet, when he found himself facing the totally naked Tang Yumeng, he unexpectedly became exceptionally calm and clear-headed.

Tang Yumeng's enticing body was laid bare before him, within reach. Lin Chuan was internally conflicted for a moment, yet he smiled and said, "Sis, although I really want to have you, definitely not under these circumstances."

"You..." Tang Yumeng was somewhat astonished.

"I don't want you to give me your heart just because you are moved, I want you to truly and willingly give me your heart," Lin Chuan seriously looked at Tang Yumeng and said, "A gentleman has his principles of what to do and what not to do. I really do want your body, but I cannot take advantage of someone's vulnerability. Not now."

"Lin Chuan, you..." Tang Yumeng bit her red lips and said, "What do you want then?"

Lin Chuan, holding a blanket, gently wrapped it around her body, saying, "Sister, one day, I will marry you. Our wedding night will be the time I have you."

Tang Yumeng immediately burst into tears.

The touch was off the charts.

"You bad man, you." Tang Yumeng instantly hugged Lin Chuan, tears streaming down relentlessly.

In this lifetime, to have found such a man was already enough. At least at this moment, Tang Yumeng gave Lin Chuan her full affirmation. If her love for Lin Chuan had been a seven before, now it was definitely more than nine.

Being moved can make someone give their heart truly, can make someone act impulsively; being moved can elevate the relationship between two people...

In essence, giving your heart truly is how you receive a heart truly in return.

The two hugged each other tightly, Tang Yumeng actively sought Lin Chuan's kiss, and they kissed till the seas dried up and stones decayed, until the end of time.

As dusk fell, after dinner, Lin Chuan took Tang Yumeng up to the top of the mountain and they both sat back-to-back on a giant rock, savoring this rare sunset. The beautiful sunset always inspires limitless imagination.

"Such a beautiful sunset," Lin Chuan mused.

"Yes, it really is beautiful," Tang Yumeng nodded, then regretfully said, "It's just a pity that the setting sun is endless but nearing dusk. It will soon disappear."

"Silly girl, the beauty of fireworks lies in their momentary burst, and so the beauty of dusk is just like that," Lin Chuan laughed.

The beauty of dusk lies in its magnificent brevity, a ray of slanting sun, reminding people of its brilliance throughout the day, and at this moment of departure, it casts its last light upon the world. The beauty is in the sunlight, no sunlight, no beauty.

The beauty of dusk lies in its desolation, a ray of slanting sun releases thousands of rays of rosy light, with night right behind it, offering a moment of peace amidst this parting, the beauty of dusk is absolutely stunning, the sunlight is gone, and so the beauty.

The beauty of dusk lies in its selflessness, caring for the world even as it vanishes.

The beauty of dusk lies in its bravery, facing the night fearlessly.

"Really?" Tang Yumeng blinked at Lin Chuan, saying, "The dying of day, is this also a beauty?"

"Of course!" Lin Chuan nodded, saying, "It's precisely because the dusk is so beautiful, that it makes people so reluctant to let go. The more the reluctance, the deeper the unwillingness to part, creating the most beautiful scenery before the night. Life is the same; so much, like dusk, so much beauty that when it becomes a habit, it vanishes in haste, and when you look back, beauty is no longer there. It's not that the dusk is unfeeling, nor the night cruel, but that we ask for too much — because its beautiful moment, is enough to be eternal. Dusk is here, we enjoy this peace. Night arrives, we enjoy the tranquility. We can see off the dusk, we will also see off the night. Too much attachment leads to fear of the night, not that we lost the dusk, but that we chose a new sun. Because life won't be replaced, as long as we are still alive."

"Lin Chuan, you speak so well." Tang Yumeng gently leaned her head against Lin Chuan's shoulder.

The beauty of the sunset is unforgettable, just like that rare, dark-red glow.

The two sat quietly on the mountaintop, silently watching the sun sink below the horizon, turning from a full sphere to a half sphere, and finally completely setting. The sky was left with just a hint of red glow. After a while, dusk had left, driven away by the night, although reluctant, yet decisive. Because there was no choice, no one blamed its unfeeling nature. Its decisiveness was to not let anyone see its sadness, sad tears could perhaps turn into sorrowful rain, spilling into people's hearts. Facing struggle and entanglement, it chose calm because it couldn't overcome the night. Boundless night engulfed the entire dusk, leaving desolation and sorrow, and a calm heart, and a lingering fondness, yet no more hope, no more expectations, dusk would not come again.

There were no epic, lavish words, just the quietly welcomed darkness. Facing the stillness of the night, one might occasionally remember the beauty of dusk, but more often there is admiration and blessing, no blame or complaint. Dusk left its beauty behind, without letting others feel its loneliness in the darkness.

"It's dark now," Lin Chuan, with a cigarette, took a deep draw. Then exhaled heavily.

"I wish to stay with the dusk." Tang Yumeng smiled.

"But the night has arrived," Lin Chuan looked down at Tang Yumeng, gently smoothing her wind-blown hair from her forehead with his hand.

"Then let us enter the night with it, embracing loneliness," Tang Yumeng giggled: "When we miss the dusk in the night, its beauty is our only comfort. I don't wish time to roll back, I just want to sleep through the night, and upon waking, see the next day's morning sun, but I still miss the dusk."

"Well said," Lin Chuan nodded.

A gust of mountain wind blew, feeling a bit chilly. Lin Chuan stretched his arm around Tang Yumeng, pulling her into his embrace.

Facing the distant sky still sprinkled with some orange-red, Tang Yumeng still felt somewhat reluctant to part, she said, "Lin Chuan, this is the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen in my life. Thank you."
