At the outdoor challenge place, host Liu Shi stood in the middle and smiled at the camera. "Welcome everyone to 'Survival Challenge'! Today's guests are two familiar faces, both talented actors in the entertainment industry."
He deliberately paused, making all the guests on the scene laugh.
Uncle Chi let out a hearty laugh. "Oh? I think I know who they are. I talked to him on the phone yesterday."
"That's right!" Brother Ha chimed in, "This couple, one was a fresh face in showbiz, and the other used to be their assistant. Now look at them... They've gone from workmates to lovers!"
"Let's welcome Lin Yuan and Tang Tian!"
Amidst thunderous applause, Lin Yuan and Tang Tian walked onto the stage side by side. Although they were here for the variety show, they were still dressed in low-key sportswear, wearing hats and sunglasses as if they were afraid of being recognized.
"Yo, dressing so mysteriously?" Liu Shi joked.
Tang Tian took off her sunglasses and said with a grin, "We're used to it. Keeping a low profile is our basic habit as a couple."
"Fine, but you two need to show off a bit today! Next is a couple quiz. If you get an answer wrong, you'll be punished!"
The game started, and the questions were about each other's little habits. For example:
"What's the food that Tang Tian hates the most?"
Lin Yuan answered without hesitation, "Bitter gourd."
"What's Lin Yuan's favorite color?"
Tang Tian immediately replied, "Blue."
The two of them coordinated tacitly until a tricky question came up...
"When did Lin Yuan first tell Tang Tian he loved her?"
Lin Yuan hesitated, then replied tentatively, "Umm... Was it on our first date?"
"Wrong!" Tang Tian put her hands on her hips and glared at him, gritting her teeth. "It was when we were on vacation by the sea!"
"Ah? Really?" Lin Yuan looked innocent.
Tang Tian was so angry that she almost jumped up. "Lin Yuan! If you answer wrongly again, you'll have to kneel on durian husks tonight!"
The audience burst into laughter, and the bullet comments scrolled rapidly.
"Haha, kneeling on durian shells! So funny!"
"Lin Yuan, watch out! Don't piss off your girlfriend!"
Even though they missed a few questions, their adorable banter during the game stole the show. By the end, the entire set was buzzing with excitement, making this episode of "Survival Challenge" unforgettable.
...
Time flew by, and four more years passed. Tang Tian celebrated her 30th birthday.
On this day, Lin Yuan specially booked a seaside restaurant in advance. As the sun set and the evening wind blew, the soft light shone on the two of them.
"Happy birthday." Lin Yuan pushed a delicate little cake with thirty candles on it.
Tang Tian put her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish.
Right after she blew out the candles, Lin Yuan shot up and then dropped to one knee. Tang Tian froze. Lin Yuan pulled out a tiny red box. When he opened it, a sparkly diamond ring glinted inside.
"Tang Tian." His voice was low and serious, and his eyes were full of tenderness. "We've been together for so many years and gone through thick and thin. In my life, I've gotten used to having you by my side. Now, I want to ask, will you marry me?"
Tang Tian looked at him, her eyes slightly red, and her fingers clutching the hem of her dress.
The guests around them all looked at them. Some picked up their phones to take pictures, some let out soft exclamations, and some cheered softly.
"Go on, marry him!"
"Come on, say you will!"
Tang Tian took a deep breath, looked at the man in front of her, and suddenly showed a smile.
"I do."
Lin Yuan seemed to heave a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. Then, applause and cheers rang out around them.
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
Lin Yuan smiled, slipped the diamond ring onto Tang Tian's left ring finger, then stood up, took her hand, and kissed her softly. Just then, the stars above twinkled even more brightly.

Once, Lin Yuan felt guilty towards Tang Tian because he might leave this world at any time, and he was anxious and uneasy due to the fear of losing her. But now, he's slowly learned to accept it.
The future is uncertain, but he knows he should treasure every moment.

户外挑战场地,主持人刘石站在中央,笑着对着镜头说道:"欢迎大家收看"生存挑战"!今天的嘉宾是一对老熟人,两位都是演艺圈的实力派演员."
他故意停顿了一下,逗得现场嘉宾们都笑了.
池大叔哈哈一笑,"哦?我好像知道是谁了,昨天有和他通过电话."
"没错!" 哈哥补充道,"这对情侣,当年一位是演艺圈新人,另一位是他的助理,结果现在... 啧啧,直接升级成情侣了!"
"有请,林远和唐甜!"
掌声雷动,林远和唐甜并肩走上舞台,虽然是来参加综艺,但两人仍旧穿着低调的运动装,戴着帽子和墨镜,仿佛怕被人认出来似的.
"哟,打扮得这么神秘?" 刘石打趣道.
唐甜摘下墨镜,笑嘻嘻地说:"习惯了,低调是我们情侣之间的基本习惯."
"行,但今天你们就得高调一点!待会儿是情侣猜谜游戏,答错的那个人要接受惩罚哦!"
游戏开始,题目是关于彼此的小习惯,比如:
"唐甜最讨厌吃的食物?"
林远毫不犹豫地回答:"苦瓜."
"林远最喜欢的颜色?"
唐甜立刻答:"蓝色."
两人配合默契,直到一个刁钻的问题出现...
"林远第一次对唐甜说 '我爱你' 是在什么时候?"
林远犹豫了一下,小心翼翼地回答:"呃... 在我们第一次约会的时候?"
"错!" 唐甜叉腰瞪着他,咬牙切齿地说:"是我们在海边度假的时候!"
"啊?真的?" 林远一脸无辜.
唐甜气得差点跳起来,"林远!你再答错,你今晚就跪榴莲壳!"
现场观众哄堂大笑,弹幕飞速滚动.
"哈哈哈哈,跪榴莲壳!好有画面感!"
"林远小心啊,不要惹女朋友生气!"
游戏结束,两人虽然答错了一些问题,但甜蜜的互动让全场气氛爆棚,成为这一期"生存挑战"的最大看点.
...
时间飞逝,又过了四年.唐甜迎来了30岁生日.
这一天,林远特意提前订了一家海边餐厅,夕阳西下,晚风吹拂,柔和的灯光洒在两人身上.
"生日快乐." 林远推来一个精致的小蛋糕,上面插着三十根蜡烛.
唐甜双手合十,闭上眼睛,许愿.
就在她吹灭蜡烛的瞬间,林远忽然站了起来,随即... 单膝跪下.
唐甜怔住了.
林远拿出一个小巧的红色丝绒盒子,打开,里面是一枚精致的钻戒.
"唐甜." 他的声音低沉而认真,眼神里满是温柔,"我们在一起这么多年,经历了风风雨雨,在我的生命中,已经习惯了有你的存在.如今,我想问一句,你愿意嫁给我吗?"
唐甜看着他,眼眶微微泛红,手指捏紧裙摆.
四周的客人纷纷看向他们,有人拿起手机拍摄,有人低声惊呼,还有人轻声起哄.
"嫁给他!"
"答应他!"
唐甜深吸一口气,看着眼前的男人,忽然露出一抹笑容.
"我愿意."
林远仿佛松了一口气,嘴角忍不住上扬,而周围的掌声和欢呼声瞬间响起.
"亲一个!亲一个!亲一个!"
林远轻笑了一声,将钻戒戴在唐甜左手的无名指上,站起身来,握住唐甜的手,轻轻地吻了上去.
那一刻,夜空中的星辰仿佛都变得更加耀眼.

未来虽无法预知,但应该珍惜当下.
