154: Chapter 154 She Wants to Watch the Live Broadcast

"It's nothing!"

Han Yurou came to a halt beside him, also leaning against the guardrail as he was.

"I just came to see you."

Qin Lin looked at her.

She was overflowing with youth, her eyes filled with thoughts she couldn't hide.

"Yu Rou, have you been hiding something from me lately?"

Han Yurou was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red.

"N-no, I haven't..."

"Really?"

"Really."

Han Yurou lowered her head and whispered:

"It's just... I just want to spend more time with you."

Qin Lin looked at her, his heart feeling a bit complicated.

How could he not know what was on this girl's mind?

But her mother...

"Yu Rou, some things can't be rushed," he said thoughtfully.

Han Yurou looked up at him.

"I know, I'm not in a hurry."

She paused and then added:

"Brother Qin Lin, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

Looking at her serious expression, Qin Lin suddenly didn't know what to say.

In the end, he just reached out and rubbed her head.

Han Yurou smiled, looking very happy.

Sunlight streamed through the protective shield, falling upon the two of them.

In the distance, Su Yuling stood at the doorway, watching the scene.

She didn't go over to disturb them.

She just watched silently, then turned and left.

Her heart felt a bit sour, but mostly envious.

When would Brother Qin Lin rub her head like that?

That evening, the RV was brightly lit.

To celebrate the upgrade, everyone prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Ingredients exchanged from the System Store, along with freshly picked vegetables and fruits from the Ecological Plantation, filled a large table.

"Cheers!"

Su Yuling raised her glass.

It was filled with fruit juice.

Only a few people were drinking alcohol.

Qin Lin and Han Qing were drinking red wine, while Su Yuran and Li Ying each poured themselves half a glass.

Everyone else was either pregnant or too young, so they all drank juice.

"Congratulations on the RV upgrade!"

Su Yuling said happily.

"Congratulations!"

Everyone clinked glasses, and laughter echoed in the living room.

After dinner, everyone moved to the family activity room.

It was newly equipped with an entertainment system for watching movies, singing, and playing games.

"Let's watch a movie!" Han Yurou suggested.

In the end, they chose a comedy, and everyone laughed heartily.

By the time the movie ended, it was past ten o'clock at night.

"It's time for bed."

Su Yuran stood up and stretched.

"I was too excited today; I'm a bit tired."

Lin Wanwan and Xu Xue also stood up.

"We're heading back too; the babies need to rest."

Li Ying looked at Qin Lin, then at Han Qing and her daughter, and smiled.

"Then I'll head back as well. Xu Xue, shall we go together?"

Xu Xue nodded, and the two left together.

Su Yuran pulled Su Yuling along:

"Let's go, little sister, time to sleep."

Su Yuling looked at Qin Lin somewhat reluctantly but followed her sister anyway.

In the living room, only Qin Lin, Han Qing, and Han Yurou remained.

"I should head back too."

Han Qing stood up, her steps a bit unsteady.

She had drunk quite a bit tonight; her face was flushed, and her gaze was somewhat hazy.

The aftereffects of the red wine were kicking in, making her feel weak all over.

Han Yurou quickly supported her.

"Mom, let me help you."

Qin Lin also stood up. "I'll see you both back."

The three of them walked toward Bedroom No. 003.

The hallway was very quiet, with only the nightlight of the ecological box glowing.

The soft light spilled onto the floor, adding a hint of ambiguity to the night.

When they reached the door of 003, Han Yurou pushed it open and helped her mother inside.

After getting her settled, Qin Lin was about to leave.

But Han Qing suddenly turned around and grabbed his hand.

"Qin Lin..." she called softly.

Qin Lin turned back and saw her flushed face and hazy eyes.

The alcohol had stripped away her usual reserve.

"Aunt Qing?"

Han Qing didn't say anything; she just stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.

The kiss came suddenly, yet it was passionate and deep.

It carried the mellow aroma of wine and a long-suppressed longing.

Her arms wrapped around his neck, and her whole body leaned into his embrace.

Han Yurou stood nearby, her eyes wide.

She watched her mother and Qin Lin kiss, watched her mother's arms wrap around Qin Lin's neck, and watched as the kiss deepened, her own breathing becoming rapid.

Her face turned completely red in an instant.

But she didn't turn away or leave.

She just stood there, watching.

There was only one thought in her mind:

Wow, a live broadcast.

Han Qing kissed him for a long time before finally letting go.

She leaned against his chest and whispered:

"Qin Lin, tonight... stay with me."

Qin Lin looked at her and then at Han Yurou nearby, feeling a bit awkward.

"Aunt Qing, Yu Rou is still here..."

"Yu Rou?"

Han Qing turned her head, saw her daughter standing there, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

The alcohol had dulled her sense of shame.

"Yu Rou, Mom tonight..."

Han Yurou quickly said, "Mom, you guys keep going, I won't disturb you."

But she didn't leave; instead, she sat down nearby with her chin resting on her hands.

She looked like she was saying, "Continue, I'll just be the audience."

Han Qing felt a bit embarrassed by her gaze, but under the influence of alcohol, the shame wasn't that strong.

"Yu Rou, you..."

"Mom, don't mind me."

Han Yurou said with a grin:

"Just do whatever you need to do, act like I'm not here."

Qin Lin: "..."

This girl, really...

He took a deep breath, trying to stay rational.

"Aunt Qing, not tonight. You've had too much to drink, get some rest early."

Han Qing looked at him, her eyes filled with disappointment.

"Really no?"

"Really."

Qin Lin supported her and helped her sit on the bed.

"Get a good night's sleep, we'll talk tomorrow."

Han Qing leaned against him without saying a word.

Her hand was still clutching the corner of his shirt, refusing to let go.

Han Yurou grew anxious on the side.

"Brother Qin Lin, how can you be like this?"

she whispered, her tone filled with dissatisfaction.

"My mom even took the initiative, and you just..."

Qin Lin glared at her.

Han Yurou shrank her neck back, not daring to speak further, but her eyes still showed her defiance.

Qin Lin settled Han Qing and tucked her in.

"Aunt Qing, goodnight."

Han Qing held onto his hand, unwilling to let go.

"Qin Lin... do you not like me anymore?"

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment.

"How could that be?"

"Then why won't you stay?"

Qin Lin looked at her and sighed.

"Aunt Qing, not tonight."

He glanced at Han Yurou.

Han Qing followed his gaze to her daughter.

Han Yurou was watching them expectantly.

Her eyes were practically shouting, "Keep going!"

Han Qing suddenly laughed.

"Yu Rou, go outside for a bit."

Han Yurou shook her head.

"I'm not going."

"Yu Rou!"

Han Yurou replied righteously.

"I'm not disturbing you, just act like I'm not here."

Han Qing was both annoyed and amused.

What on earth was this child thinking?

Qin Lin shook his head and stood up.

"Alright, I'm really leaving now."

He walked to the door.

"Aunt Qing, get some sleep early. Yu Rou, take good care of your mother."

He opened the door, stepped out, and closed it.

The sequence of movements was smooth and continuous.

He hadn't expected Han Qing to act like this.

He knew she was in a bad mood today.

Li Ying and Xu Xue were both pregnant, while she was the only one with no news.

He understood that kind of pressure.

That's why he didn't take advantage of her vulnerability.

Nor did he have the impulse to take her directly to his room.

What he expected even less was that Han Yurou would actually want to watch a live broadcast.

She really was dreaming.
