Snoring!

"Brother Chuan, do you think some of the plots in novels about returning to the past might be real, like those in Xun Qin Ji or Bu Bu Jing Xin?" Zhao Wanyu asked casually, looking up at the sky.

The moment Zhao Wanyu finished speaking, Chen Mengchuan's heart skipped a beat!

He slowly replied, "I don't know, but history does have quite a few remarkable figures. However, those are just plots from novels and TV shows. If time travel to the past were real, it would be like the butterfly effect, surely leaving many traces in history. But it's a pity, there haven't been such people in history."

Chen Mengchuan's gaze became a little unsettled. He was that butterfly. Could he truly rewrite the ending of the future?

In that hazy dream, humanity was about to face a cold, alien civilization capable of wiping out humanity in 9 hours... Chen Mengchuan sighed inwardly.

Zhao Wanyu smiled at him, "You're right."

Chen Mengchuan smiled, "About that, your Manager Xu and Manager Toni..."

Zhao Wanyu smiled and asked, "You want to meet our Manager Xu and Manager Toni? Are you really planning to poach them?"

Chen Mengchuan smiled and remained silent.

"When do you want to meet them? I'll try to arrange it for you, but I can't guarantee anything."

"The sooner the better. Things are achievable through effort. Thank you, Miss Zhao!" Chen Mengchuan nodded with a smile.

"Got it. I'm going back to rest," Zhao Wanyu also smiled. The village had a bit of a chill after nightfall.

Chen Mengchuan calmly watched her figure disappear into the house, his expression filled with complexity. He had remembered many of Zhao Wanyu's questions from before. Without realizing it, he had revealed too much familiarity with this place. If Zhao Wanyu hadn't given him a reminder today...

Taking a deep breath, he tightened his thick down jacket and walked along the familiar yet strange village path into a desolate land. A crescent moon hung in the sky, casting a soft glow, and the Milky Way was spread across the heavens, dotting the boundless darkness.

What kind of existence was Earth to the impending alien civilization? How far ahead was alien technology compared to Earth's? Could he really turn the tide of the future and save the world? Chen Mengchuan didn't know. He had many pieces of "black technology" in his mind, but they were all very basic. There was only one truly core piece of technology, and even knowing it, it would be extremely difficult to implement...

He slowly walked to a small river. Looking at the Wulameiren River before him, many memories flooded back. In that hazy dream, he had stayed in this remote mountain village for over 3 months. He had met, known, and fallen in love with Ayase Sonoko. He thought he would remain quiet like that forever. Then, his father, through connections, arranged for a new village teacher to replace him and Ayase Sonoko. As a result, Ayase Sonoko, implicated by him, was sent back to her country. He had a huge argument with his father, saying countless resolute and harsh words...

Under the moonlight and the light of his phone's flashlight, Chen Mengchuan found the familiar round stone from his dream. He climbed onto it and leaned back, gazing at the starry sky. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind – past, present, and future...

After an unknown amount of time, his phone rang by the quiet river. Chen Mengchuan answered.

"Chuan, Brother Chuan, haven't you come back yet?" Zhao Wanyu's voice came from the phone.

Chen Mengchuan checked the time; it was almost 1 AM.

"Outside the village, just taking a walk." He stood up, patted his slightly damp back, and began to retrace his steps.

Upon returning to the Xu family courtyard, the light in Zhao Wanyu's room was on, and the door was not closed. She was sitting inside, looking at her phone.

Seeing Chen Mengchuan return, Zhao Wanyu couldn't help but feel relieved. In this desolate village, Chen Mengchuan had become her only source of security.

"Still not resting?" Chen Mengchuan looked at her and smiled.

"I tried lying in bed, but I couldn't sleep," Zhao Wanyu said, her face slightly flushed.

Feeling sleepy himself after the walk back, Chen Mengchuan nodded, "Get some sleep early. I'm going to rest."

Zhao Wanyu nodded and smiled, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

He entered his room, closed the door, and turned off his light.

A few minutes later, the light next door also went out, and faint sounds could be heard. The whole world seemed to fall into darkness.

Half an hour later, Zhao Wanyu lifted her quilt and looked at the wall with some helplessness. Chen Mengchuan snored, and his snores were quite loud. The rising and falling sound made Zhao Wanyu completely unable to sleep.

"Brother Chuan!" Zhao Wanyu patted the wall. This was becoming unbearable. In the standard room yesterday, she seemed to have fallen asleep before him, so she didn't know if Chen Mengchuan snored. But now, separated by a low wall less than 2 meters high, Chen Mengchuan's snores echoed throughout the large room, reaching her ears.

After calling out, the room next door fell silent. Zhao Wanyu lay down again, trying hard to fall asleep quickly.

"Snore, snore, snore..." A series of snores came again.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Wanyu lifted the quilt again.

Sighing, she wrapped herself in clothes, got up, and turned on the light. Just as she was about to open the door to knock on his door, she suddenly looked at the low wall, less than 2 meters high.

The beds in both rooms were next to this wall. Placing a plastic stool on the bed, Zhao Wanyu's head emerged over the wall. She looked down at Chen Mengchuan, sleeping comfortably and snoring below the wall, and a bold idea struck her.

She found a rag, wiped the dust off the top of the wall, brought a cup of water, wet her finger, and let a drop of water fall onto Chen Mengchuan's quilt.

She didn't dare to pour the whole cup on him.

She missed. She tried a few more times, adjusted her position, and a drop of water accurately hit Chen Mengchuan's face.

The snoring stopped abruptly. Chen Mengchuan turned over, subconsciously reaching out to rub the water from his face, and continued to sleep.

Suppressing a smile, Zhao Wanyu continued to drip water on him several more times. Chen Mengchuan was drowsy from the water drops. Her arm was getting sore, so she shook her hand and simply sat on the wall.

Suddenly!

Just as Zhao Wanyu reached out to grab the cup, she lost her balance and tumbled down.

"Bang!" With a sound, Zhao Wanyu landed half on top of Chen Mengchuan.

"This is bad!" Zhao Wanyu's mind went blank. She didn't dare to move!

Chen Mengchuan, who had been somewhat disoriented by Zhao Wanyu's actions, managed to turn over under her weight and did not wake up!

Trembling with fear and remaining motionless, Zhao Wanyu's mind was flooded with a million chaotic thoughts. She didn't know if Chen Mengchuan was awake or asleep. Was he awake but pretending to be asleep to avoid embarrassing her?

Jumbled thoughts warred in Zhao Wanyu's head.

After an unknown amount of time, a series of snores began again.

Zhao Wanyu was startled. She didn't know when Chen Mengchuan had turned around and was now facing her, snoring softly.

As the seconds ticked by, Zhao Wanyu's heart pounded like a roller coaster.

This time, he really seems to be asleep? How am I supposed to get back? What if I accidentally wake him up? Will he kick me out? Or will he beat me to death?

Zhao Wanyu nervously watched Chen Mengchuan in front of her.

As she watched... Chen Mengchuan was actually quite good-looking.

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Zhao Wanyu's inexplicably racing heart began to beat even faster. She was actually sharing a room with a man she'd known for only two days for the second time. Yesterday they had separate beds, and now they were sharing one! Chen Mengchuan's breath was even directly on her face.

The more she thought about it, the faster her heart beat, her whole body grew warm, and her face felt flushed.

As if possessed, Zhao Wanyu stretched her neck slightly, her red lips landing on Chen Mengchuan's. His lips were so soft...

Chen Mengchuan, in his daze, seemed to fall into a fragmented, bizarre dream. In the dream, he was kissing Zhao Wanyu's lips, her tongue soft, sweet, and passionate...

A dream? But why does it feel so real?

Chen Mengchuan opened his eyes to find Zhao Wanyu lying in his arms, eyes closed, kissing him.

What the hell?
