197: Chapter 197 Do you think I'm a yandere?

The more Han Qing thought about it, the more confused she became.

She set down the medical records, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes.

Perhaps she was overthinking things.

Perhaps Su Yuling was just relatively introverted and dependent on Qin Lin, and wasn't actually a yandere.

Perhaps she had just been suppressed for too long and needed an outburst.

Now that the outburst was over, she had returned to normal.

But that look in her eyes...

That glance Su Yuling had given her in the hallway that day.

Though it only lasted an instant, she definitely wouldn't remember it incorrectly.

That was absolutely not a "normal" look.

Han Qing opened her eyes and sighed.

Forget it, she wouldn't think about it anymore.

Anyway, Su Yuling seemed normal now; she hadn't hurt anyone, nor had she shown any dangerous tendencies.

Maybe this was the best outcome.

She stood up and walked out of the Medical Room.

In the living room, Han Yurou was playing cards with The Zhou Sisters, laughter ringing out continuously.

Su Yuling wasn't there.

Han Qing glanced toward Bedroom No. 000; the door was closed.

She shook her head and walked toward the kitchen.

Inside Bedroom No. 000, Qin Lin was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Su Yuling was lying beside him.

"Brother Lin," she suddenly spoke up, "does it hurt?"

Qin Lin looked down at himself.

There were scratch marks all over his body; some had already scabbed over, while others were still slightly red.

There was even a clear bite mark on his shoulder.

"It's okay."

Su Yuling reached out a finger and gently pressed on those scratches.

"Did I use too much force?"

Qin Lin thought about it.

"It was a bit forceful."

Su Yuling looked up at him.

"Then do you hate it?"

Qin Lin looked at her.

Those eyes were currently as clear as a spring.

No sign of illness could be seen, nor any madness.

She was just an ordinary girl asking her boyfriend if he liked her.

He reached out and gently stroked her face.

"I don't hate it, I like it."

Su Yuling smiled.

It was a very sweet smile.

Just as sweet as usual.

Qin Lin looked at her, and suddenly he felt a bit puzzled as well.

Han Qing had already come to find him to talk about Su Yuling's yandere tendencies.

Was this girl really a yandere or not?

The her from last night and the her from right now were practically two different people.

Last night's her was frantic, persistent, and full of possessiveness.

Today's her was well-behaved, gentle, and the same as before.

Which one was the real her?

Or... were both?

He didn't know.

But he knew that no matter which her it was, he didn't hate it.

In fact, he even liked it a little.

Especially the her from last night.

That kind of frantic love, that reckless possession, that obsession with leaving marks on his body...

It made him feel that he was deeply loved.

Loved in a way that was nearly twisted.

That feeling was strange, but also... very satisfying.

Qin Lin thought back to the year before his Rebirth.

Back then he had nothing; no one loved him, and no one cared about him.

If he died, no one would even remember.

But now it was different.

He had so many women who loved him.

And among them was one who loved him to the point of madness.

He should be content.

"Brother Lin," Su Yuling's voice pulled him back to reality, "what are you thinking about?"

Qin Lin looked down at her.

"Thinking about you."

Su Yuling smiled.

"Thinking what about me?"

"Thinking about whether or not you're actually a yandere."

Su Yuling was stunned for a moment.

"Yandere?"

"Yeah, Han Qing said you have yandere tendencies."

Su Yuling was silent for a few seconds.

Then she asked:

"What is a yandere?"

Qin Lin thought for a bit and gave a simple explanation.

After listening, Su Yuling nodded thoughtfully.

"So, do you think I'm a yandere?"

Qin Lin looked at her.

"I don't know, maybe, maybe not. What do you think?"

Su Yuling thought about it.

"I don't know."

"I only know that I like you. I like you so, so much—so much that I want to leave my mark on your body, so everyone knows you're mine."

She paused.

"But I also know that you aren't just mine. You're also Sister Yuran's, Sister Wanwan's, Aunt Han Qing's, Yu Rou's, Sister Li Ying's, Sister Xu Xue's, and The Zhou Sisters'. I can't have you all to myself."

Listening to her, complex emotions welled up in Qin Lin's heart.

This girl understood everything.

"So, you don't mind them?"

Su Yuling was silent for a few seconds.

"I do mind, I mind a lot. Every time I see Yu Rou get close to you, I want to push her away. Every time I see Sister Li Ying kiss you, I want to pull her away. But..."

She paused.

"But I don't want to make things difficult for you. And I don't want them to get hurt."

Qin Lin looked at her.

"Why?"

Su Yuling looked up at him.

"Because they're all good people."

"They take care of me, play with me, and they've never looked down on me because I wasn't good enough. If I did something to them, you would be sad, and I would be sad too."

Qin Lin reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Yuling, you really are a good girl."

Su Yuling leaned against his chest.

"I'm not a good girl."

"I have many bad thoughts. I want to monopolize you, to lock you up just like that yandere you mentioned, to make you look only at me, but..."

She hugged him tightly.

"But I want you to be happy even more."

Qin Lin felt a warmth in his heart as he listened.

This girl, although she had some yandere tendencies, was still that kind-hearted girl at her core.

She just loved him too deeply.

So deep that it was a bit twisted.

But that love was real.

"Yuling, don't worry, I won't leave you."

Su Yuling looked up at him.

She smiled.

It was that sweet smile again.

Then she lowered her head and gave his chest a gentle bite.

It wasn't heavy, but it wasn't light either.

Qin Lin hissed.

"Again?"

Su Yuling looked up at him.

"Didn't you say I was a yandere? Then I'll show you a bit of madness."

Qin Lin laughed helplessly.

"The ones you left yesterday haven't even faded yet."

"I don't care, I have to leave some every day."

Qin Lin looked at her and suddenly felt that living like this was actually quite nice.

Painful yet happy.

In the evening, everyone went to the dining room to eat one after another.

Su Yuling didn't go.

She followed Qin Lin, never leaving his side by even a step.

When Qin Lin went to the Drivers Cabin to check the data, she followed.

When Qin Lin went to the living room to sit for a while, she followed.

When Qin Lin went to the restroom, she waited at the door.

Han Yurou watched this scene and couldn't help but say to Su Yuran:

"Sister Yuran, your sister is suddenly so clingy to Brother Lin."

Su Yuran glanced over and smiled.

"Yeah."

"Doesn't she get tired of it?"

"I don't think so; she likes it this way."

Han Yurou nodded thoughtfully.

Then she carried her bowl over to Qin Lin and sat down on his other side.

"Brother Lin, time to eat!"

Su Yuling glanced at her.

Just a single glance.

Then she continued eating with her head down.

Han Yurou didn't notice that look and continued chattering away about the day's events.

Qin Lin listened while he ate, nodding occasionally.

Su Yuling's hand remained on his leg the entire time.

Occasionally it tightened slightly, her nails sinking in gently.

But that was all.
