I Found A Planet

In April, spring had arrived. Grass grew and flowers bloomed. Life was thriving everywhere. Spring was also the best season to go on nature hikes and outings.

It was a bright and sunny day. Clouds were scattered across the blue skies. An annual tulip flower fair was held in Daning Park; about 2 million tulips of 45 varieties had been planted this year. The planting area occupied about 40,000 square meters. The exhibition period only lasted for 15 days, from late March to early April.

“The flowers are gorgeous. This is too beautiful.” Standing amidst the sea of color, Su Yun sighed in appreciation. Her pretty eyes were filled with excitement and delight.

“Let me take a few photos of you.” Chen Jin took out the Hua Yao P40 Pro mobile phone that had instantly killed off the DSLR camera. He took several photos of her in different poses. In a sea of flowers, the woman either opened her arms with a face full of smiles, or she was bending down to smell the flowers. The golden rays of the sun lightly teased at her smooth and shining hair. Sometimes, she would gaze towards the far horizon and display her outstanding good looks.

Chen Jin’s photography skills were nothing out of the ordinary. Even so, he managed to take some photos that stunned him. The most beautiful scene of the woman caused his heart to tremble. “Su Yun, let’s take a few photos together.” They had brought a selfie-stick with them for this nature outing so that they could take photos together without asking for help from the passerbys.

The woman nodded happily. “Ok.”

In the sea of flowers, the two took many photos together. Chen Jin feasted on the beauty in front of him. He was constantly hugging her beautiful shoulders, and he always had an arm around her slender waist. From time to time, he would sniff at the mild fragrance from the hair hanging past her ears. Now and then, he would hold her in his arms and admire the flush on her face. His mind was not focused on taking photos at all.

As they were returning, Chen Jin clasped her warm and smooth hand. They were like a young couple, walking shoulder to shoulder. Both were good-looking and well-matched in their appearances, attracting countless looks of envy.

She felt the man kneading her hand from time to time and Su Yun tried to gently extricate her hand, but it was futile. Her pretty face became flushed again as she admonished bashfully, “Don’t be like this.”

“Why? You don’t like it?”

She lowered her head. “No… There are so many people here. The impact could be… negative.”

Chen Jin smiled. “We’re just holding hands. Look at that elderly couple. They’re enjoying themselves just holding hands together. They’re so old but still acting lovey-dovey in public.” He pointed towards an elderly couple who were at least 70 years old.

Su Yun glanced at them. She had never felt so envious in her life. She turned to Chen Jin and asked, “Can you hold my hand until we’re as old as they are?”

“I can do that.” Chen Jin gave her a firm answer. “And I will hold your hand for 500 years, 1,000 years, even… forever.” He spoke these words in a flat and calm tone, but they hit her heart hard.

Her eyes shimmered and she suddenly embraced the man. She kissed his face quickly. “I don’t need as long as a thousand years. It’s enough to grow old together with you.”

Chen Jin was stunned at first, then he pulled her into his arms. Leaning in to her ear, he said, “Silly girl, I don’t do sweet talk. Sometimes, you might think that it’s boring to be with me and I also make mistakes occasionally… I hope that you will consider this carefully before answering. Are you willing to be with me?” Women were emotional creatures. Nine out of ten loved to hear sweet words. But sweet-talking was really not his strong suit. When it came to relationships, he had always been akin to someone quickly cutting through a complicated knot with a knife. If they were suitable, then they would get together; if they were not, then they would separate. He never thought that his off-hand remark would touch her to the extent that she would reveal her heartfelt thoughts. Her words clearly expressed her attitude.

“I do!” She said with all seriousness, “As long as you don’t dislike me, I’m willing!”

Chen Jin shook his head. “You’re such a good lady. How can I dislike you?”

The woman was pretty, sensible, a filial daughter, as well as a hard worker. She was a good wife in all aspects. If Chen Jin did not have so many fortuitous encounters, he would find such an excellent woman would be the best wife material. There was nothing about her that he was unhappy about. After calming down, he slowly realized that his original idea of collecting more women and having more children was unrealistic. At least, they were not realistic here on Earth.

He could not even handle one Yuan Li. He was deluding himself if he thought he could get outstanding women that would limit their own personalities and independence to obey him in all aspects. If he wanted to have women that followed the Confucian moral injunctions for women, he would have to timetravel back to ancient times. It was impossible to establish a harem openly in modern society.

Of course, if one was rich, he could do whatever he wanted. There were many vain and shallow women. Even the celebrities in the entertainment circles might bend over and present their fair and beautiful bodies for money. As long as you had money, many women would fall into your bed with a simple wave of your hand. But this breed of women were mere sacks of flesh that worshipped money. They had no shame or morals… Frankly speaking, Chen Jin did not want this type of women even if thousands of them threw themselves at him.

On the other hand, women of excellent quality with an independent personality would not be able to tolerate sharing him with other women. Hence, this was a dilemma. An acute dilemma between quality and quantity. He could only choose one of the two options. Chen Jin thought about this carefully. He considered how they had to spend every day together. Quality was more important than quantity. A good wife was worth more than a thousand sex friends.

As for the number of progenies that he wanted to have, three or four might even be sufficient if he nurtured them in the manner of the elites. Then, they would have children of their own. His children and grandchildren would be plentiful. Even if the numbers were insufficient, he could resolve it via some technological means. In short, Chen Jin did not want to remain too conflicted on this topic. A beautiful woman was in front of him. He would just follow his heart.

Hearing his words, the woman in his embrace gave a faint murmur of acknowledgment. Her heart was filled with happiness and delight.

They exited the park, and he located his big Benz in the parking lot. However, Chen Jin did not open the driver’s door. Instead, he opened the back passenger door and let the woman enter the car first.

Su Yun found it somewhat strange. “You’re sitting in the back?” Chen Jin squeezed in the back with her too. She asked in surprise, “Why are you sitting in the back too? Aren’t you driving?”

“I’m driving. But you kissed the wrong part of my face just now. I’ll be correcting it.”

As his words ended, he hugged her waist and leaned his face down towards her. She lightly hit at his chest but could not stop the meeting of their lips. They fell into a kiss that seemed to last for ages.

…

After this incident, their relationship progressed very quickly as they became more intimate. They seemed to be a couple in their honeymoon period. They went shopping together, dined out together, and watched movies together. They were together almost every day. Their love became more natural and real. They shared their photos often on social media. Their families, especially Su Yun’s parents, were extremely happy.

Chen Jin even brought Su Yun to the villa in Junting Grand Court for two nights. He was about to break the last barrier in the relationship and take it to a new level.

“No, don’t do it. It hurts so much. This is my first time. I want to give my most precious possession to you on the night I become your wife. I’m begging you, don’t.” The woman was in so much pain she started tearing up. This image stopped the man from continuing his penetration.

Chen Jin had to stop. He looked down at the woman whose lower half had been stripped. Her body was pale like a little lamb and her expression evoked pity. He could only respect her choice and hug her to sleep. However, the fires that had been banked could not be extinguished, not even after she gave him a helping hand. He had to go to the bathroom for a cold shower to finally suppress the fire burning in him. He smiled bitterly. “Ah, I never thought that you were so traditional.”
