Ever since the time-space crisis on their wedding anniversary, the topological tattoo on Lu Li's wrist has often glowed. Late at night, as he works at his desk, the silvery-purple lines flow in time with the rhythm of his code, like a miniature galaxy surging beneath his skin. Lin Yue discovered that whenever he debugged the "Love's Eternal Guardian Protocol," the tattoo would resonate with the mechanical devices in the basement. The gears, repurposed from the remains of the original calico cat collar, would hum, vibrating the air with a unique frequency of 143.8 Hz.
On the morning of the Spring Equinox, Lin Yue was awakened by the aroma of coffee wafting from the kitchen. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she pushed open the door to find the dining table covered in topological pastries—cookies shaped like Klein bottles, macarons with Möbius strips printed in their fillings, even the edges of fried eggs had been fried to resemble quantum entanglement. Lu Li, wearing an apron emblazoned with binary code, could faintly see streams of data swirling behind his ears. He pushed a calico cat painted with frosting toward her. "Try it! The sweetness parameters this time are based on the emotional entropy concentration of our first kiss."
Before she could finish her words, a shrill alarm blared from the basement. A calico cat, fur rippling, leaped from beneath the table, its collar fragments unfolding in a defensive formation. "Cracks detected in the hyper-dimensional membrane! Anomalous data... from remnants of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!" The golden-red tattoo on Lin Yue's wrist suddenly heated up. Threads of time flowed uncontrollably from her fingertips, outlining the Xuan Ji diagram on the floor. Lu Li's code stream enveloped her like a silver torrent. Their consciousnesses merged in a shimmering light, instantly being drawn into the vortex of time and space.
When they opened their eyes again, they were on a pleasure boat amidst the misty rain of Jiangnan. A faded painting of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" fluttered in the breeze, its every emerald mountain oozing with black code. At the bow stood Miss Wang, dressed in Song Dynasty brocade. Her wolf-hair brush was no longer saturated with ink, but with a tumbling mass of malicious data. "Don't you understand?" her mechanical eyes flashed red. "Your so-called love is nothing but the remnants of a failed experiment in hyper-dimensional consciousness!"
Lu Li's coders transformed into gleaming blades, cleaving the incoming rain of data arrows. Lin Yue's threads of time wove into a protective net. During a lull in the battle, she glimpsed two transparent figures huddled in the corner of the pleasure boat—the real Su Hui and Dou Tao from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, their forms consumed by malicious data. "We must repair their timeline!" Lin Yue shouted, her threads of time entwining the fading figures like serpents.
Miss Wang grinned and splashed her brush, instantly transforming the entire river surface into a seething binary matrix. Cracks began to appear in Lu Li's code form, yet he stubbornly stood before Lin Yue. At the critical moment, the calico cat suddenly leaped through the rift in spacetime, its collar fragments unfolding into a massive quantum prism, refracting the malicious data into harmless points of light. "Activate the Ultimate Protocol!" Lu Li roared, and the topological tattoos on his and Lin Yue's wrists erupted with dazzling light.
Streams of golden-red and silver-purple light intertwined in the air, forming a massive double helix that enveloped the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty spacetime. Lin Yue's thread of time retraced back to the moment Su Hui wove the Xuanji diagram, while Lu Li's code flow repaired the tampered historical data. When the double helix fully closed, they "saw" the hidden program left behind by the super-omnidimensional consciousness—it turned out that every encounter in each era was a necessary step in repairing the cosmic flaw.
With the crisis averted, the pleasure boat finally returned to its former tranquility. The real Su Hui and Dou Tao stood at the bow, their figures remarkably clear in the moonlight. They smiled, casting grateful glances at Lu Li and Lin Yue, before gradually transforming into tiny stars, merging into the river of history.
Lin Yue watched all this quietly, feeling a surge of emotion. She turned and saw Lu Li standing beside her, his eyes flickering with complex emotions. Suddenly, without warning, Lu Li knelt on one knee, his hand trembling slightly as he formed a delicate ring.
The ring was inlaid with a quantum rose, its petals shimmering mysteriously in the dim light. Lu Li took a deep breath and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Of all the space-time crises, what I fear most is not a data crash, but not being able to tell you in time..."
His voice echoed in the air, carrying a rare hint of nervousness and excitement. Lin Yue stared at Lu Li, her heartbeat involuntarily speeding up.
Lu Li continued, "Lin Yue, no matter how many times the universe restarts, I will find an opportunity to say I love you at the frequency of 143.8 Hz."
Lin Yue's eyes moistened as she felt the sincerity and affection in Lu Li's words. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, with only Lu Li's voice echoing in her ears.
Lin Yue's thread of time gently wrapped around his finger like a gentle breeze. As if possessing life, the thread slowly slipped the ring onto his finger.
At this moment, the entire universe seemed to be touched. The timelines of all parallel universes seemed to be moved by an invisible hand and began to resonate.
In the Bailu Academy on ancient Earth, the elegant scholar was sitting opposite the beautiful girl. Their eyes met, and an indescribable emotion surged in their hearts.
On the banks of the Qinhuai River, the talented scholar and the gentle and charming beauty were strolling along the riverbank. Their laughter echoed in the night sky, as if time had stopped for them.
And in the distant future, the guardian of the super-dimensional spaceship is standing in front of the spaceship's control console, his eyes traversing the endless universe, gazing at the distant starry sky.
At this moment, these three figures from different time and space magically overlapped in the interweaving of quantum light flow.
The calico cat that had always been by Lin Yue's side had its gear eyes gleaming with tears. As if sensing this intense emotion, the remains of its collar automatically activated its recording function, freezing this moment forever.
This is not just a simple moment, it is an eternal oath that transcends time and space, encoded into an indelible memory and deeply imprinted in the long river of time.
When Lu Li and Lin Yue returned to the real world from the virtual world, they were surprised to find that the mechanical device in the basement had projected a brand new star map. On this star map, each galaxy was clearly marked, and these galaxies were exactly the time and space nodes they had repaired.
At the center of the star map, there is a brightest star, emitting a dazzling light, as if it is the center of the entire universe. And the name of this star is actually named after its resonant frequency - "Eternal Love Domain".
Lu Li excitedly hugged Lin Yue tightly in his arms, feeling her warmth and heartbeat. At this moment, they seemed to merge with the entire universe, becoming the brightest existence in this endless starry sky.
Streams of code and time intertwined in the moonlight, like a cradle, gently rocking them. Outside the window, the light of a supernova, traversing billions of light years, resonated perfectly with their heartbeats. In that moment, time seemed to stop, and the entire universe cheered their love.
In the depths of this universe, the story of Lu Li and Lin Yue will continue to be written, becoming a legendary code of love and protection. Their love is like the eternal starlight, illuminating each other's lives and warming the entire universe.
