The bright moonlight fell on the path in the forest, casting mottled shadows of trees on the ground. On the branches, unknown night birds chirped a few times, adding a bit of mystery to this quiet night.

The shadow hiding in the dark looked at the two people hugging each other tightly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. After a long while, he sighed softly, turned around and disappeared into the thick night.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the window lattice, filling the entire room. Chu Mengmeng stretched lazily, and when she opened her eyes, she met Xiao Yichen's gentle gaze.

"Good morning, my princess." Xiao Yichen kissed her gently on the forehead, his tone doting.

"Good morning." Chu Mengmeng smiled sweetly and rubbed against Xiao Yichen's arms like a satisfied cat.

A new day begins in this sweet atmosphere.

In order to fulfill his promise, Xiao Yichen started to build their home. He chose a vacant lot at the edge of the forest and built a wooden house with his own hands. Although Chu Mengmeng could not help much, she would hand tools, wipe sweat, and occasionally cook some dark dishes, which made Xiao Yichen laugh and cry.

"Mengmeng, are you going to poison me to death?" Xiao Yichen couldn't help but joked as he looked at the black plate in front of him.

"Oh, it's my first time cooking too, just try it." Chu Mengmeng pouted, looking aggrieved.

Xiao Yichen shook his head helplessly, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece and put it into his mouth.

"How is it?" Chu Mengmeng looked at him expectantly.

"Hmm...very creative." Xiao Yichen swallowed it with difficulty and praised against his will.

Although Chu Mengmeng's cooking skills need to be improved, Xiao Yichen enjoys cooking with her. He will teach her how to identify various ingredients and whisper cooking techniques in her ears. The kitchen is filled with laughter and warmth from time to time.

Days passed one by one, and their lives were dull but full of happiness. However, beneath the calm surface, there seemed to be a hint of uneasiness...

In order to help Chu Mengmeng adapt to this world better, Xiao Yichen decided to teach her some basic survival skills...

The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground. The breeze blows, and the leaves rustle, as if whispering. Xiao Yichen holds Chu Mengmeng's hand and strolls along the path in the forest, teaching her to identify various plants.

"Mengmeng, look, although this red fruit looks tempting, it is poisonous and cannot be eaten." Xiao Yichen said, pointing to a plant full of red fruits on the roadside.

"Ah? It's so beautiful, but it's also poisonous?" Chu Mengmeng covered her mouth in surprise and took a closer look curiously, "Then what can be eaten?"

Xiao Yichen smiled and pointed to a tall tree not far away and said, "Look at that tree. The fruit it bears is edible and tastes very sweet."

Chu Mengmeng looked in the direction of Xiao Yichen's finger and saw that the tree was full of golden fruits, which looked very tempting. She ran over excitedly and wanted to pick one to taste, but was pulled back by Xiao Yichen.

"Be careful!" Xiao Yichen's face changed, and he pointed at a small green snake hovering on a branch and said, "There is a snake on this tree, don't get close."

Chu Mengmeng was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly hid behind Xiao Yichen, poked her head out and asked timidly, "Then...what should I do? I want to eat fruit..."

Xiao Yichen rubbed her hair lovingly and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll help you pick it." After that, he picked up a stone from the ground, aimed at the fruit on the tree and threw it hard. With a "bang", a fruit fell and rolled to Chu Mengmeng's feet.

"Wow! You are awesome!" Chu Mengmeng clapped her hands excitedly, picked up the fruit on the ground, peeled it carefully, put it in her mouth and took a bite, "Mmm! So sweet!"

Seeing Chu Mengmeng's satisfied expression, Xiao Yichen couldn't help but laugh. He patiently taught her how to distinguish poisonous plants and animals, how to protect herself, and how to survive in this strange world.

Although Chu Mengmeng looked a little confused at ordinary times, she was very serious when learning these survival skills. She was like a sponge, trying to absorb the knowledge Xiao Yichen taught her. Although there were many jokes in the process, such as she once mistook a hedgehog for a ball of fur and wanted to pick it up to play, but ended up being pricked and screaming; she once mistook a poisonous mushroom for a wild vegetable and almost put it in her mouth...but her efforts and persistence made Xiao Yichen feel very gratified.

As the sun sets, the two figures become long. Holding hands, they stroll on the way home, their hearts filled with peace and happiness. However, Chu Mengmeng doesn't know that by chance, she will discover the secret of her time travel. It turns out that she was chosen by an ancient book and is tasked with saving the world...

 Full Moon in the West Tower

Days passed by peacefully and warmly. Under Xiao Yichen's careful care, Chu Mengmeng gradually adapted to the life of this era. She learned to identify herbs, make fire and cook, and even learned to weave simple tools with branches.

One day, when Chu Mengmeng was packing the backpack she brought from the modern world, she accidentally found an old book with yellowed pages and a faint scent of sandalwood. She curiously opened the book, but the words on it surprised her. It turned out to be an ancient book that recorded ancient prophecies and mysterious powers!

As Chu Mengmeng read deeper, her heart beat faster and faster. The ancient book described a story that was strikingly similar to hers: a woman from another world was chosen to be the "person of destiny" and shouldered the mission of saving the world. The way of crossing and the time nodes mentioned in the book were completely consistent with her experience!

"Could it be that... I am the 'man of destiny' mentioned in the book?" Chu Mengmeng murmured to herself, her heart filled with shock and confusion. This sudden discovery completely overturned her understanding of her own destiny.

She couldn't wait to tell Xiao Yichen this secret and share this responsibility with him. So, she took the ancient book, ran to Xiao Yichen in a hurry, handed him the book, and said incoherently: "Yichen, look! I seem to have found the reason why I came here!"

Xiao Yichen took the ancient book and read it carefully. As he read deeper, his brows slightly frowned. The contents recorded in the book were too unbelievable, but they were inextricably linked to Chu Mengmeng's experience, so he couldn't help but believe it.

"Mengmeng, perhaps this is fate." After a long while, Xiao Yichen closed the ancient book and looked at Chu Mengmeng with deep eyes. "Since you have been chosen, we must bravely shoulder this responsibility and do our best to make this world a better place."

Chu Mengmeng nodded heavily, with a determined light flashing in her eyes. "Yes! Let's work together!"

In the following days, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen studied ancient books together, trying to find more information about the "man of destiny" and how to save the world. They found that the world was facing a huge crisis, and the power Chu Mengmeng possessed was the key to resolving the crisis.

On a quiet night, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen lay on the grass, looking at the starry sky, their hearts full of expectations and longings for the future.

"Yi Chen, do you think we will succeed?" There was a hint of uneasiness in Chu Mengmeng's voice.

"Yes, we can do it." Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand tightly, his tone firm, "Because we have each other, and we also have this starry sky."

They didn't know that in the depths of the dense forest not far away, a pair of cold eyes were watching them, with a strange smile on the corner of their mouth...

"Mengmeng, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Yichen's gentle voice interrupted Chu Mengmeng's thoughts.

Chu Mengmeng turned to look at Xiao Yichen beside her. His profile looked particularly handsome under the starlight, and his eyes were shining with stars, as gentle as water. She smiled slightly and gently leaned her head on his shoulder, "I was wondering, what will happen to us in the future?"

"In the future?" Xiao Yichen chuckled, "In the future, we will build a wooden house in this valley, work from sunrise to sunset, and live a peaceful life, okay?"

A glimmer of longing flashed across Chu Mengmeng's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a hint of worry. "But we still have a lot of things to do, and there are still many mysteries to be solved. Can we really give up everything and live a life like this?"

Xiao Yichen gently stroked her hair, his tone gentle but firm, "Mengmeng, I know you have concerns in your heart, but you have to believe that no matter what happens, I will be by your side. We will face all difficulties together, solve all problems, and then live the life we ​​want."

His words were like a reassurance pill, calming Chu Mengmeng's anxiety. Yes, as long as they were together, what difficulties could not be overcome?

It was late at night, and the valley was quiet, with only the chirping of insects and the low roars of wild animals in the distance, which made the world even quieter. Chu Mengmeng rested her head on Xiao Yichen's arms and gradually fell asleep. In her dream, she returned to modern society, to that familiar yet strange world. The tall buildings and the busy traffic, everything was so familiar, yet it made her feel extremely strange. She saw her former relatives and friends, they still cared about her and loved her as before, but she could no longer integrate into their lives.

Suddenly, she woke up with beads of sweat on her forehead.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Xiao Yichen's concerned voice sounded in her ears.

Chu Mengmeng shook her head, buried her head in his arms, and greedily breathed in his warm breath. "I just miss home a little bit." She said softly.

Xiao Yichen patted her back gently and comforted her gently: "I know. After we solve the problem here, we will find a way to go back, okay?"

"Yeah." Chu Mengmeng closed her eyes, her heart full of hope.

The next morning, they packed their bags and prepared to leave the valley where they had lived for several months. Before leaving, Chu Mengmeng took a last look at this peaceful and beautiful place, feeling reluctant to leave.

"Let's go, it's time for us to set off." Xiao Yichen took her hand and walked out of the valley.

They didn't know that shortly after they left, a dark shadow quietly appeared in the valley, staring coldly in the direction they left.

"Chu Mengmeng, Xiao Yichen, you can't escape from my palm!" The black shadow sneered sinisterly, then disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen had no idea that danger was approaching. They walked eastward, hoping to find a town as soon as possible and find out more information about the "man of destiny" and the world crisis.
