From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

Actually, I didn't expect to shoot so much footage.

I simply took pictures of all the scenery and dangers I encountered along the way.

Who knew we'd go through so much on this trip?

I chuckled softly, feeling as if I had already crossed a thousand mountains, and said, "I don't know either. Many times when I'm busy, I just forget to turn it off until the battery dies and it automatically stops recording."

Su Qing nodded slowly, her eyes filled with tenderness, and continued scrolling through the documents, saying:

"On the contrary, the content recorded casually is the most authentic and vivid. Many seemingly useless shots, when edited in post-production, may have a more stunning effect than deliberately staged footage."

I stood to the side, saying nothing, just quietly watching her.

Su Qing is usually playful and affectionate, and she sometimes throws tantrums like a little girl.

But once she gets into work, her entire demeanor transforms.

His eyes were focused and sharp, and his whole being exuded a sense of competence.

No wonder she's so successful at live streaming; her ingrained drive and execution are something most people can't match.

People always say that men who work hard are the most attractive, and this statement also applies to Su Qing.

Looking at that beautiful and charming face so close to me, I sometimes feel a sense of disorientation.

I, Lin Ye, am a penniless and backgroundless young man.

What makes me so worthy of having such an outstanding and dazzling girl as my girlfriend?

I couldn't help but let my imagination run wild: what could she possibly want from me?

But after weighing myself over and over, I realized that there was really nothing about me that she would want.

With my mind a jumble of thoughts, I took advantage of her focus on the screen, leaned forward slightly, and gently pecked her soft cheek.

Su Qing stopped what she was doing, turned to look at me, and looked at me with only confusion, not anger.

"What are you doing?"

I smiled slightly at her and said, "I'm just a little dazed. It feels like everything that's happening right now is an unreal, beautiful dream."

After hearing this, Su Qing rolled her eyes at me.

Suddenly she reached out and grabbed my collar, pulling me sharply towards her.

The next second, she leaned in and unexpectedly kissed my lips.

We parted as soon as we touched, but she still held onto my collar, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"Is it real enough now?"

I grinned sheepishly and teased her on purpose, "Hmm... I don't feel anything."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qing leaned down and kissed her again.

This time, it's not just a superficial attempt; it's imbued with deep affection.

Just as I was slowly getting into it, she quickly let go, sat back in her computer chair, and had a sly smile on her lips.

"Do you still think this is a dream?"

My cheeks flushed slightly. I scratched the back of my head and said with a smile, "It's no exaggeration, it couldn't be more real."

Su Qing refocused her attention on the computer screen, dragging the timeline as she spoke.

"I know that deep down you've always felt that being with me is unreal, and you've always wondered why I like you."

Before I could reply, she continued talking on her own.

"I've told you before that I feel incredibly relaxed and at ease when I'm with you. And most importantly, in my eyes, you're a stock with great potential."

"You think so highly of me?"

Su Qing said confidently, "Of course, the man I, Su Qing, choose will definitely not be bad."

"I'm a little embarrassed by your praise."

"What's there to be ashamed of? A man should have the confidence he deserves."

Of all the people I know, none have Su Qing's strong and optimistic mindset.

Even her own sister, Su Wan, doesn't have this kind of carefree confidence.

After a brief silence, Su Qing looked at me again and said softly:

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep. You really don't need to stay up all night with me."

I shook my head and laughed, "I can't sleep right now. I just came out of the wilderness, and my biological clock is completely messed up. I'll go to the bedroom and make the bed first."

"Okay, you can sleep in my master bedroom. I like sleeping in that big bed."

I deliberately raised an eyebrow and joked, "So, you mean I should sleep with you?"

Su Qing turned her head and glared at me fiercely: "Isn't what you're saying obvious?"

I felt a surge of joy in my heart. The thought of being able to hold her as I fell asleep every night filled me with warmth.

Perhaps thinking this way makes me seem narrow-minded, or even a bit like a loser.

But this is my deepest hope.

No matter how lofty or noble the rhetoric may be, it doesn't apply to me.

Stepping into Su Qing's master bedroom, one finds a huge bed piled high with brand-new, unopened bedding.

I opened the packaging bag, took out the gloves, duvet cover, and smoothed out the sheets.

This was the first time I had ever been inside her bedroom.

The house was clean and tidy, and decorated in a warm and cozy style.

A large plush teddy bear sits on the bedside table, showing that this girl still retains a childlike heart.

The bed sheets and duvet covers were all in soft pink tones, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

The streetlights along the river outside the window cast a hazy, weak glow, and the room was quiet.

The thought of living with her here for a long time to come warmed my heart.

But I am also very clear-headed. Behind the sweet days lie countless troubles and obstacles.

The gap between Su Qing's parents and family background, as well as Fang Heng who relentlessly pursued her, were all unavoidable obstacles.

But if she's not afraid, then I'm not afraid either.

She dares to travel the world with me, so I have the confidence to face all the storms with her.

The worst-case scenario is simply to leave and go far away.

After making the bed, I turned around and went back to my work room.

Su Qing is completely immersed in the editing work.

On the computer screen, frame by frame, raw footage taken in the no-man's-land was being played back.

Glaciers covered in snow and ice, desolate wastelands shrouded in thick fog, and off-road vehicles bumping along bumpy roads.

Scenes of the three of us being trapped in a desperate situation, supporting and encouraging each other, kept playing on the screen.

Looking at these shots, I felt as if I was instantly transported back to that icy, snowy land.

The biting cold wind, the ever-present threat of death...

That feeling of despair, of being unable to live or die, resurfaced in my mind.

I really don't want to go through this again in my life.

At the same time, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to witness the pristine and breathtaking natural scenery of the no-man's-land again.

This is how things are in the world: advantages and disadvantages go hand in hand, and fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

Just like my relationship with Su Qing, enjoying this rare love means being destined to bear the many storms that follow.

I gathered my scattered thoughts, walked gently behind her, leaned down slightly, and rested my chin lightly on her shoulder.

Su Qing paused slightly, but did not turn around, her gaze remaining fixed on the computer screen.

She simply turned her cheek to the side, her soft face gently rubbing against mine.

"I just finished watching that video you recorded after you were robbed..."

"It's all in the past, don't worry about it," I replied, trying to sound as relaxed as possible.

"Just watching your recorded account gives me goosebumps and I'm terrified."
