No matter how great, strong, or successful a woman is, she can never change the childlike innocence and tenderness deep in her heart. Every woman has her own childlike innocence and beauty within.
Lin Chuan's lips curled into a smile, then he got up and crawled out.
The scene outside was a mess, and the body of the alpha wolf had already stiffened. To prevent Tang Yumeng from being frightened by these things, Lin Chuan hurried to clean up the aftermath. He threw the alpha wolf's body off the cliff, and had almost cleaned up everything else like the stove. They were planning to descend the mountain today, so Lin Chuan had to clean everything up thoroughly. Moreover, there were still many items left to organize.
While Lin Chuan was busy, Tang Yumeng seemed to have been woken up by the noise outside.
When Tang Yumeng saw that the "border" pillow next to her was still intact, she cursed inwardly: What an unromantic man.
"Lin Chuan, you're already up?" Tang Yumeng rubbed her groggy eyes.
"Yeah." Lin Chuan nodded and said, "You're up too? I'll go catch some fish soon and make soup for you."
"Really?" Tang Yumeng immediately brightened up and said, "The fish here must taste very good, right?"
"Of course." Lin Chuan nodded immediately.
"I want to go with you," Tang Yumeng hurriedly said.
"Let's go!" Lin Chuan grinned.
The daylight was good, so their journey was unhindered. They quickly reached the mountaintop, where a clean and clear lake lay. Visibility was deep, and the swimming fish at the surface were nearly visible, moving in groups through the water.
"Wow, there are so many fish here." Tang Yumeng said excitedly.
"Watch me." Lin Chuan smiled.
With that, Lin Chuan took off his clothes, leaving on his shorts, and dived into the water.
"Wow!" Tang Yumeng exclaimed.
Lin Chuan dove into the water and Tang Yumeng, standing by the shore, could see his shadow moving in the water.
It wasn't long before Lin Chuan emerged with two fish, each weighing about two pounds, and he enthusiastically threw them onto the shore, saying, "Two mandarin fish."
"Wow, wild mandarin fish, that's really delicious." Tang Yumeng was thrilled.
Soon after, Lin Chuan caught another big male fish and brought it ashore.
Carrying three fish back to their camp, Tang Yumeng hopped and skipped all the way, showing no signs of the solemnity of a Secretary. She seemed more like a girl fresh out of school. Lin Chuan laughed and said, "Sis, you'll have to eat plenty later."
"Mhm," Tang Yumeng nodded like a chick pecking on grains.
Her cuteness touched Lin Chuan deeply. Tang Yumeng blinked and asked, "Lin Chuan, why are you staring at me all the time?"
"Sis, I was just thinking how great it would be if we could live like this forever," Lin Chuan smiled.
"Yes!" Tang Yumeng suddenly showed a melancholic expression and said, "This must be what they call a fairy-tale couple's life."
Lin Chuan gave a wry smile: "Maybe."
The fish soup was very fresh, as it was made from wild mandarin fish. Not only was the soup incredibly delicious, but the fish meat itself was irresistibly tasty. Tang Yumeng greedily ate up both mandarin fishes and even drank all the soup. Lin Chuan by himself roasted and ate the male fish.
As the two happily had their meal, the two villagers from yesterday appeared in their sight.
"Wow, you guys are still alive?" The two villagers were shocked.
"What happened?" Tang Yumeng quickly asked.
"Yesterday, we heard wolves howling on the mountain and thought you had met with mishaps," the villagers couldn't help but click their tongues and said, "We hurried up the mountain early this morning to check. Fortunately, it's a blessing amidst misfortune that you're still alive."
Pfft...
Tang Yumeng suddenly became bold and laughed, "Indeed, we did encounter a pack of wolves, but we drove them off."
"Really?" The two villagers were somewhat incredulous.
"Of course!" Tang Yumeng nodded and said, "Look, here's the wolf pelt."
The two villagers turned to look and their faces changed dramatically.
"My goodness!" Two villagers almost fainted.
"What's wrong now? Why are you always so startled?" Tang Yumeng asked in astonishment.
"You... you actually killed the Wolf God on this mountain?" The villagers looked at Lin Chuan in shock, saying, "I can't believe it, really can't believe it."
"What about this Wolf God?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.
"Actually, I've never seen a Golden Wolf before," the villager swallowed his saliva as he fiddled with the Golden Wolf, continuing, "Our ancestors told us that there is a type of wolf with golden fur on Kowloon Mountain. These wolves are not many and are very rare. It is said that these wolves are descendants of the Wolf God, who evolved through self-cultivation and have acquired human intelligence. They can command wolf packs at will, and even the alpha wolf in the pack must obey their command. This Golden Wolf is really something else; more than a dozen or twenty people are no match for it. I can't believe... you actually killed a Golden Wolf, it's truly astonishing."
"Really?" Tang Yumeng exclaimed: "Is this wolf really that extraordinary?"
"The wolf has turned into a spirit," Lin Chuan laughed heartily. "People exaggerate these stories to make them sound mystical, but this wolf is just an ordinary wolf."
"That's not true," the villager hastily shook his head, saying, "It's said that this Wolf God has the ability to swallow the sun and the moon, never underestimate this Wolf God. You were lucky to defeat it. Fortunately, you're alright, otherwise, we wouldn't have seen this Golden Wolf."
"Uncle, thank you for your concern about us," Tang Yumeng quickly expressed her gratitude.
"Since you all are here, let's head down the mountain now," Lin Chuan suggested.
The two villagers also helped pack up, and most things were properly taken care of by Lin Chuan. The tent was also quickly dismantled, and with everyone's cooperation, everything was packed in less than half an hour.
A day of outdoor camping and picnicking came to an end just like that.
Tang Yumeng was somewhat reluctant to leave, standing at the spot where they had slept and looking back as if she was saying goodbye to the place.
"Sister, let's go," Lin Chuan said.
"Okay," Tang Yumeng nodded, with a look of reluctance in her eyes.
"We'll come again next time," Lin Chuan embraced Tang Yumeng's slender waist, saying, "Don't be so reluctant."
Tang Yumeng nodded her head, then followed Lin Chuan on the return journey.
It's easy to ascend the mountain, but hard to descend.
During the descent, Tang Yumeng felt her legs go weak at several dangerous spots, ultimately relying on Lin Chuan to carry her or even piggyback her down the mountain.
After two hours, the group finally came down from the mountain.
Just as Lin Chuan was about to pay, one of the villagers said, "Young man, we won't take your money. Could you give us this wolf skin?"
"Sure," Lin Chuan nodded, since keeping the wolf skin would be of no use to him; it would be better to give it to the villagers as a souvenir.
"Thank you, we really appreciate it," the two villagers rejoiced.
After loading their stuff in the car, Lin Chuan drove back to Jiangbei City.
Perhaps because she didn't sleep well last night, or because she woke up too early in the morning, Tang Yumeng fell asleep soon after getting into the car. Nearly the entire two-hour trip was spent with Tang Yumeng sleeping. Upon reaching Jiangbei City, Lin Chuan drove to the City Committee's courtyard.
"Sister, we're home," Lin Chuan said.
Tang Yumeng rubbed her eyes, and upon seeing the familiar City Committee courtyard, she immediately woke up.
"Then... I'm going home," Tang Yumeng said.
"Alright, see you at work tomorrow," Lin Chuan smiled.
Watching Tang Yumeng leave, Lin Chuan's mood became increasingly heavy because he had promised Tang Yumeng he would resolve the issue that was bothering her the most. Naturally, nothing was more troubling for Tang Yumeng than her falling out with Song Ming.
Song Ming did not allow Tang Yumeng to be with him. Upset and frustrated, Tang Yumeng threatened to resign in anger.
......
Monday.
The entrance to the City Committee was bustling, with many people having heard the news of Tang Yumeng's voluntary resignation. This shocked many people. Countless individuals were eager to vie for her position, yet, Tang Yumeng was thinking of giving up this position, which truly surprised and shocked everyone.
If Tang Yumeng really resigned, she might become an unprecedented example of a City Committee head resigning in new China. This clearly shows how significant Tang Yumeng's resignation would be?
"I heard Secretary Tang is resigning, but I'm not sure if it's true or not."
