"You need to calm down," Bai Lin said, looking into Yun Meng's eyes.
But how could Yun Meng calm down, regardless of Bai Lin's attitude? He pushed her aside directly.
"Tell me, how can you expect me to calm down? All the manpower and resources I've spent to create a breakthrough, and he says it disappears just like that? If it were you! Tell me, could you remain calm???" Yun Meng roared at Bai Lin, his voice filled with anger.
"But I can't just watch the people from Sector Seven go down to their deaths with you for nothing! Look at the time now, it's so unsafe and dangerous. What about them? You have the strength of the Golden Core peak to withstand it, but most of the people you've brought are ordinary people. Look at the team you've assembled. How many are in the Golden Core stage? The entire Sector Seven, including you, only has just over fifty people in the Golden Core stage! Please think about it, would you?"
Although Bai Lin seemed to be reasoning with Yun Meng, she was actually thinking about how to send fewer people to their deaths, to leave more people to help Chen Fan.
Of course, only Chen Fan himself knew this.
Chen Fan looked at Bai Lin with a touch of emotion.
At this moment, Bai Lin turned her head and winked at Chen Fan.
After Yun Meng pondered for a while, he ultimately decided to investigate the ancient tomb the next day during the daytime. He then turned and left.
"It's over," Chen Fan said, watching as the crowd gradually dispersed towards the rest area. The research department, just like yesterday, left Bai Lin to organize the data.
In reality, it wasn't that Bai Lin was willing, but that after organizing the data, she could give it to Chen Fan to review in their tent at night.
When the excavators were almost all gone, Chen Fan reverted to his original appearance.
Bai Lin, emerging from the research tent, saw Chen Fan in his true form and rushed forward, embracing and kissing him.
They then held hands, admired the moonlight, and returned to Bai Lin's tent.
Sitting on the sofa, she leaned into Chen Fan's embrace.
"You won't blame me, will you... I didn't pay much attention to you all day, I was constantly looking at the data."
Bai Lin, lying in Chen Fan's arms, looked at him with a hint of grievance.
"Silly girl, how could I blame you? You were working, and Yun Meng was always by your side. It wouldn't have been convenient to expose my identity. Besides, thank you for thinking of me like that today and leaving personnel for me later." Chen Fan gently pinched Bai Lin's cheek.
At this moment, Bai Lin was like a typical young woman, nestled in Chen Fan's embrace. However, she reluctantly got up, brought him the reports and documents she had processed that day, and then snuggled back into his arms, acting spoiled.
Chen Fan held Bai Lin in his arms and looked at the various reports.
Instrument One indicated: This underground hollow structure has an extremely large capacity of at least over one hundred thousand square meters...
Instrument Two's statistics showed that at least five violent super-explosions had occurred in this tomb...
Instrument Three showed that the total life signs entering this tomb amounted to around thirty thousand, but only one life sign emerged, and there was one present life sign within the ancient tomb...
Instrument Four indicated that powerful spiritual entities had once existed in the tomb...
Below these were numerous scanning reports from other machines.
These were the comprehensive statistics that appeared in Chen Fan's hands. Chen Fan picked up the reports and scanned them with his eyes, absorbing the key information into his mind with just a few glances.
After finishing the reports, Chen Fan looked at Bai Lin.
Chen Fan knew in his heart that all this was Bai Lin's dedication for him, and he happily accepted the hard-won reports.
"Bai Lin, thank you," Chen Fan lowered his head and kissed Bai Lin on the lips. Bai Lin did not hesitate to reciprocate, and a passionate kiss ensued...
They kissed for a long time, neither willing to let go of the other.
After all, their private time was limited to these few hours of rest.
However, Bai Lin eventually reluctantly pulled away from Chen Fan's lips.
"We should go to sleep early. I still need to make breakfast for you tomorrow," Bai Lin said, her face flushed with shyness.
"Mm," Chen Fan replied softly.
After washing up, they both lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
----------
It was early morning again.
Chen Fan was the first to wake up.
After quickly washing up, he prepared breakfast and set it on the table.
Chen Fan then went to the bathroom to squeeze toothpaste for Bai Lin.
A short while later, Bai Lin also woke up.
She saw that Chen Fan, as usual, had done everything.
Bai Lin was very happy. In fact, a man who was so domestic was very much to her liking.
She thought to herself that a mature young man like Chen Fan was indeed her type.
His style was always impeccable.
The first time they met, he wore a black suit with a perfectly tied black tie, a gold watch, and a healing smile. The slight bulging veins on his hands, his composure in the face of any unexpected situation – everything about him seemed perfect and satisfying.
But what truly attracted her? Bai Lin asked herself.
Perhaps it was that perfect blend of vulnerability and strength. He was a man who appeared flawless to outsiders, yet I was the only one who could see his minor flaws in his daily life. Or perhaps it was knowing his unwavering determination to save the person he loved, and his gentle tenderness in doing so.
Or maybe it was the thought that when I was sad in the future, he would suddenly embrace me from behind, offering me his arms and support, or that when I was hurt and unconscious, he would kneel and beg heaven not to let me leave him. Or perhaps it was the complete sense of peace I felt when I smelled his faint fragrance.
