Chapter 27: About the Universe

The night deepened. When we left the beach and went to the road, we couldn’t get a taxi anymore.

Perhaps it was because wee had just had sex in the sea that I felt so satisfied.

Both Dacia and I felt refreshed and decided to walk back.

The scenery along the way was not very beautiful, but because we were holding each other’s hands, we were in a good mood.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dacia told me a lot about what he had recently learned.

I was shocked to find that his reserves of knowledge about the Land had far exceeded mine.

“It’s hard to imagine that human ancestors were gorillas.” He mimicked the gorilla and made a funny face.

I laughed at his joke and countered, “Others say that the human ancestors were aliens.”

“I understand. It’s a vast universe, isn’t it? I really want to see the universe.” Dacia revealed a look of anticipation.

“That’s right. Who doesn’t want to explore the mysteries of the universe?”

I thought of a science fiction novel I had read about the mysterious connection between people and the universe.

It was also after reading that novel that I had a new insight into life.

Life was tiny, like a speck of dust to the boundless universe.

Compared to the time of the astrological transformation, a human’s less than a hundred years of life was just an instant.

I was so tiny and useless. Whether I existed or not was meaningless to this world.

“But Annie, don’t you think our brain’s ideas are also a universe with no boundaries?” Dacia asked.

I was stunned and didn’t understand what he meant.

“The imagination of the brain has no boundaries. I’ve watched many creative television dramas and stories. I found that the human brain is really magical to produce so many strange ideas.”

Dacia’s eyes sparkled when he said that.

At his reminder, I immediately thought of something.

Yes, human imagination had no end, just like the endless universe.

Dacia was right. The only thing humans could match the universe with was their endless imagination.

“So humans are smart and great,” Dacia concluded.

“Oh, now that you mention it, I feel amazing!” I sighed.

Dacia nodded vigorously. “Of course. You’re better than anyone, because you didn’t just save me, but you also won my heart.”

“Wow. Are you… confessing to me?” I felt shy.

“Of course.” Dacia reached out and took me in his arms. “Annie, I love you. More than anyone.”

Dacia’s words lit up my heart like a furnace and warmed my soul.

“I love you too,” I replied while blushing.

“No matter what happens, we will always be together,” Dacia vowed.

I nodded but said nothing.

When a person promised to be with you forever, you couldn’t verify the authenticity of the promise.

How long was forever? It meant nothing more than human life.

Life was not long. It was only a few decades.

But even in just a few decades, some people could not be faithful.

Breaking up, parting, and betrayal were common in this world every day, so I really didn’t have faith in “being together forever.”

Perhaps one day, when Dacia regained his memory, he would return to the sea without hesitation.

Perhaps he wouldn’t return to the sea and would live a normal life with me forever.

With the passage of time, we would get married to live the same plain life as other couples.

If we couldn’t have our own children, we could adopt a child.

We could raise a child like any other parent, and there would be arguments or ignoring each other.

There would even be betrayal. One day, when I came home from work, I would see Dacia lying with another woman.

Or vice versa. When he returned from work to open the door, he would see me straddling a man and waving my hips wildly.

Therefore, even though the life of a human was extremely small to the universe, it was enough for them to explore countless unfamiliar experiences, rejoice, sorrow, death, and so on.

Dacia had only said one thing to create so many thoughts in my head.

At the end of the day, I was a pessimist.

We chatted as we walked. About three hours later, we finally reached home.

It was almost dawn, and Dacia and I were both tired.

After entering the house, he went straight to the bathroom while I went into the bedroom.

Speaking of rest, he preferred to stay in the water.

I fell asleep a few minutes after I laid down.

In my dream, I was on the raft floating in the sea again.

To be honest, I was used to this scene in my dreams.

I even thought that this dream was the real parallel world.

“You again?” The other me reappeared.

I turned to look at her and my eyes lit up. “You changed?”

This time, she was wearing a golden strapless dress that covered her feet.

From my angle, she looked like a mermaid with a golden fishtail who could walk upright.

“Yes, it’s so boring to always wear one piece of clothing,” she replied as she sat down on the raft..
