Tang Yumeng nestled in Lin Chuan's arms, where his body warmth made it exceptionally snug. This gave Tang Yumeng a very cozy feeling. Looking at Lin Chuan with a smile, she said, "Lin Chuan, humans are so insignificant, yet why is the universe so vast?"
"Because in this vast universe is a piece of heaven and earth for all creatures," Lin Chuan said with a smile.
"Are you saying there are other life forms in the universe?" Tang Yumeng asked curiously.
"Of course!" Lin Chuan immediately nodded and said, "Earth is just a part of the Solar System, and the Solar System is just one of the billions of star systems in the Milky Way. And the Milky Way is just a tiny spot in the vast universe. I believe that our piece of the universe is just one tiny spot among countless universes."
"My god," Tang Yumeng exclaimed in shock, "Then, in these countless universes, there must be countless forms of life?"
"Yes," Lin Chuan nodded solemnly, "and moreover, we do not know about each other's existence."
"What if one day we do find out?" Tang Yumeng asked curiously.
"When humans didn't know about the existence of America, the Indians lived very well, very harmoniously," Lin Chuan said with a smile. "But what happened when Columbus discovered America?"
Yikes...
Tang Yumeng suddenly gasped, "Does that mean the beginning of slaughter?"
"Exactly," Lin Chuan nodded immediately, "In the vast universe, there must be countless civilizations existing. Each civilization has its reasons for existence. I always believe that there are civilizations higher than human civilization, and there are civilizations lower than human civilization."
"Yes!" Tang Yumeng nodded and said, "When the world had not entered the Age of Exploration, human knowledge of the Earth was very limited. We knew nothing about the world across the oceans, just as we now know nothing about each other in space. It's hard to tell what kind of consequences will occur once we become aware of each other's existence."
"It's hard to predict," Lin Chuan also showed a bitter smile.
"Truly worrying," Tang Yumeng sighed.
"Sister, don't worry unnecessarily," Lin Chuan said with a smile, then added, "Such events might happen many years from now, by which time we'll no longer be in this world, so let's not worry about the sky falling on us."
"Oh, you," Tang Yumeng snorted softly.
Lin Chuan chuckled, "Sister, it's time for us to sleep."
"You go to sleep, I'll continue star-gazing," Tang Yumeng pouted.
Lin Chuan couldn't rest assured leaving Tang Yumeng alone to watch the stars, he quickly said, "Since you want to watch the stars, I'll stay and watch them with you. It's late, and if any wild animals appear, I can't take responsibility."
Hearing this, Tang Yumeng hurriedly stood up and said, "I... I'm going to sleep."
After a simple wash-up, the two climbed into the tent.
Although she had been prepared to sleep together, suddenly facing such a situation, Tang Yumeng still felt a bit embarrassed and awkward.
The space inside the tent wasn't large, just enough for two people to lie down, but Tang Yumeng had never slept so closely with any man before. She felt nervous and embarrassed, looking at Lin Chuan awkwardly, she asked, "Lin Chuan, are we really going to sleep here tonight?"
"What else did you think?" Lin Chuan said with a chuckle.
"I..." Tang Yumeng was at a loss for words and said, "Then... let's put a pillow in the middle, and you are not allowed to cross this pillow while sleeping."
"Sister, weren't you already prepared?" Lin Chuan said with a teasing smile.
"Stop it," Tang Yumeng hurriedly shook her head.
Lin Chuan was taken aback but nodded in agreement, "Okay, I promise, is that not enough?"
Tang Yumeng quickly placed a pillow in the middle. A lamp hung inside the tent. After lying down, Lin Chuan turned off the LED light. Although the inside light was extinguished, the large light outside meant to keep wild animals away remained on.
The first time camping in the wilderness; the first time sleeping in a small space with a man; the first time having such intimate contact with Lin Chuan…
Tang Yumeng gave Lin Chuan many of her firsts.
Lin Chuan is quite a careless person, and once he lies down, he falls asleep quickly. Tang Yumeng, on the other hand, rests her head on her arm, but despite her best efforts, she just can't fall asleep. It feels as if there's adrenaline in her blood, making it impossible for her to calm down.
Her mind wanders wildly, one moment fantasizing about what it would be like to have a relationship with Lin Chuan, and the next worrying about what if there was danger while Lin Chuan is asleep? What if a wild beast appeared? Wouldn't they be doomed?
Thoughts like these constantly surfaced in Tang Yumeng's mind.
Curiously, Tang Yumeng watches Lin Chuan, marveling at how at ease he could be sleeping in the wilderness, even after encountering a pack of wolves. She greatly admires Lin Chuan for this.
Lin Chuan's face is peaceful in sleep. Observing this man with thick brows and big eyes, she thought that he is not as fair and handsome as Bai Yifan, nor does he have his high aesthetic appeal. However, Lin Chuan's attractiveness lies in his toughness, in his strength and resilience. Even though he is not as fair, his appearance is by no means inferior, he is definitely a very handsome man, with an extraordinary allure.
The attractiveness of Lin Chuan is more about his personality and character.
The attractiveness of Bai Yifan, on the other hand, lies in his looks and the way he dresses.
Comparatively, Tang Yumeng naturally prefers a man like Lin Chuan. With someone like Bai Yifan, there isn't much sense of security. Although most women might prefer a wealthy, handsome man like Bai Yifan, a truly discerning woman would probably choose someone like Lin Chuan.
What kind of person is Lin Chuan? He is not only a man of great morality but also a loyal and patriotic individual, willing to sacrifice his life for the woman he loves. Aside from the general faults of men, Lin Chuan is genuinely a man worthy to spend a lifetime with.
However, Tang Yumeng is still troubled by the general faults of men.
What are these faults of men?
Men are polyamorous by nature, heartbreakers, and often think with their lower body. It's not that men do not cheat, but because they have not encountered the bait that stirs their desires. Once such bait appears, they will surely act upon it.
Perhaps, these faults are something genetically inherent to men. If these traits were removed, they probably wouldn't be considered men anymore.
Gently, Tang Yumeng strokes Lin Chuan's cheek, her hand resting against his cheek, as if feeling a warm sensation flowing inside her.
Tang Yumeng lets out a sigh and whispers softly, "Why did you have to come into my life? And everything about your arrival is so subtle, so incredible!"
If this were in the past, Tang Yumeng could never have imagined that she would end up with her personal driver. It's simply unbelievable, utterly unimaginable. She mockingly chides herself.
Perhaps, if the course of history had not changed, Tang Yumeng would naturally have ended up with Bai Yifan. Unfortunately, the wheels of history turned at a different juncture, and this minor change has drastically altered many people's life paths.
If Lin Chuan hadn't appeared, Tang Yumeng would have been forced to marry Bai Yifan to fulfill a woman's lifelong role. There would be no so-called happiness, no joy, just duty, and a woman's mission.
It is Lin Chuan's arrival that allowed Tang Yumeng to feel the tenderness of love, to experience the sweetness and bitterness of romance, and to understand the pain and joy of loving and being loved. With Bai Yifan, she would never have experienced these feelings.
Meeting Lin Chuan, Tang Yumeng feels is the greatest fortune in her life. She has no regrets, even if Lin Chuan has nothing, even if he is poor and in distress, she would never regret it. She even fantasizes about their wedding being a very grand and joyful event.
Unconsciously, Tang Yumeng's mind begins to imagine, perhaps, their wedding would take place on a pristine white beach, with beautiful flowers, a praying priest, and family and friends giving their blessings.
No need for much, just a cozy and warm romantic wedding.
In her dreams, Tang Yumeng is laughing; she is excitedly running on the white beach. Her long white wedding dress flows behind her, with Lin Chuan chasing after her. She seems to hear Lin Chuan shouting loudly, "Tang Yumeng, I love you, regardless of poverty or wealth, in sickness and in health, I will always love you…"
...............
The morning sunlight and gentle dew sprinkle across this lush forest.
The warm sun shines over the land, enabling the forest to thrive and all life to grow.
When Lin Chuan wakes up, the outside light is still on, but under the illumination of the lamp, the several-watt bulb seems almost lightless. Although Lin Chuan is awake, Tang Yumeng is still sleeping.
She is still holding Tang Yumeng's arm, her face wearing a happy smile, still deep in the sweet dream of her wedding.
Lin Chuan doesn't have the heart to pull away, as he doesn't want to disturb Tang Yumeng's sleep. He carefully extracts his hand from Tang Yumeng's embrace. After pulling his hand away, he even finds Tang Yumeng's sweet saliva on his arm.
"This girl." Lin Chuan can't help but gently pinch Tang Yumeng's nose.
