198: Chapter 198 Don't you want to do *that* lately?

After finishing the meal, everyone dispersed.

Han Yurou originally wanted to chat for a while longer, but she saw Su Yuling already standing up, pulling Qin Lin's hand, and preparing to leave.

She hesitated for a moment but ultimately gave up.

“Brother Lin, see you tomorrow!” She waved her hand.

Qin Lin nodded.

“See you tomorrow.”

Su Yuling pulled Qin Lin toward Bedroom No. 000.

She didn't look back once during the entire walk.

Upon returning to the room, as soon as the door closed, Su Yuling pushed Qin Lin toward the bedside.

Qin Lin sat down with the momentum and looked at her.

“What? Starting again?”

Su Yuling looked at him, her eyes shining brightly.

“What do you think?”

Qin Lin smiled.

“Come on then.”

Su Yuling leaned down and began searching for a new spot on his body.

Qin Lin closed his eyes, feeling it.

Strangely enough, he really liked this feeling.

It wasn't the kind of liking a masochist would have, but rather a...

Feeling of being needed.

Su Yuling needed him.

She needed to use this method to confirm that he was hers.

She needed to use this method to release her emotions.

And he was willing to give it to her.

Because he needed her too.

He needed this crazy love of hers.

He needed this reckless possession of hers.

He needed this almost twisted dependence of hers.

In this apocalypse, being loved like this by someone was a luxury.

Qin Lin reached out and pulled her into his arms.

“Yuling.”

“Hmm?”

“You know, I really like this.”

Su Yuling raised her head and looked at him.

“Like getting hurt?”

“Like being loved by you like this.”

Su Yuling was stunned for a moment, then she smiled.

It was a very sweet smile.

But in that smile, something else was hidden.

Something that only Qin Lin could see.

She lowered her head and took another bite on his shoulder.

Qin Lin hissed.

But his arms held her even tighter.

With the Physique enhancement and healing abilities rewarded by the RV System, he wasn't afraid of these minor injuries.

...

Over the next few days, the atmosphere on the RV became exceptionally subtle.

Qin Lin seemed to have become Su Yuling's exclusive property.

From morning to night, she followed him closely without leaving his side for a single step.

They sat together to eat, leaned against each other to watch TV, held hands while walking, and even when Qin Lin went to the Drivers Cabin, she would sit beside him, accompanying him quietly.

No one disturbed them.

It wasn't that they didn't want to, but rather... they didn't dare?

Or rather, it was a tacit understanding of stepping back.

Several times Han Yurou wanted to go find Qin Lin, but just as she reached the corridor, she was pulled back by her mother.

“Mom, what are you doing?”

Han Yurou looked back in dissatisfaction.

Han Qing pulled her back into Bedroom No. 003 and closed the door.

“Don't go looking for Qin Lin these few days.”

Han Yurou's eyes widened.

“Why? On what grounds does Yuling get to monopolize him all by herself?”

Han Qing looked at her, hesitating to speak.

She didn't know how to explain it to her daughter.

Should she say she suspected Su Yuling had yandere tendencies?

Should she say she was worried that her daughter competing for favor would provoke Su Yuling?

Should she say that as a mother, she didn't want her daughter to take any risks?

If she said these things, would Yu Rou understand?

“Mom, say something.” Han Yurou grew anxious. “Why exactly are you stopping me?”

Han Qing sighed.

“Yu Rou, listen to your mother. Don't go for these few days; wait a few days and then we'll see.”

Han Yurou frowned.

“Wait a few days? After a few days, Brother Lin will still be Brother Lin, and Yuling will still be Yuling. What's the difference?”

Han Qing shook her head.

“You don't understand.”

“What is there that I don't understand?” Han Yurou curled her lip.

“Mom, have you not wanted to do 'that' lately?”

Han Qing was stunned for a moment.

“What?”

Han Yurou looked at her, a hint of teasing in her eyes.

“Just that thing, you and Brother Lin doing that. Have you lost interest lately, so you won't let me go either?”

Han Qing's face instantly turned red.

“Han Yurou!”

“What?” Han Yurou replied righteously.

“Did I say something wrong? Weren't you quite proactive before? Running to Room 000 every night, even more enthusiastic than me. Why are you acting like a coward now?”

Han Qing was so angry she stomped her feet.

“You girl, do you even still see me as your mother?!”

Han Yurou laughed, a heartless laugh.

“I do, of course I do! If I didn't, could we go play with Brother Lin together?”

Han Qing: “...”

She found that she was increasingly unable to win an argument against her daughter.

Ever since this girl had been with Qin Lin, she had become bolder and bolder, speaking with less and less regard for seniority.

Where did the former good girl go?

“Mom.” Han Yurou leaned over and took her arm.

“Don't be angry, I was just saying. I know you mean well for me, but don't worry too much either. Although Yuling has been a bit weird these past few days, she won't hurt me. I can feel it.”

Han Qing looked at her.

“How do you know?”

Han Yurou thought about it.

“I just know.”

“Although the way she looks at me is sometimes a bit scary, she has never done anything to me. And...”

She paused.

“And she likes Brother Lin, and I like Brother Lin too. We are the same.”

Han Qing listened, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Her daughter was right.

Although Su Yuling was acting off, she indeed hadn't harmed anyone.

Maybe she really was overthinking it.

Han Yurou continued, “Just let me go. I haven't seen Brother Lin for several days, and I miss him.”

Looking at her daughter's expectant eyes, Han Qing finally softened.

“Wait two more days. If Su Yuling still doesn't let him go after two days, I'll go with you.”

Han Yurou's eyes lit up.

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Mom, you're the best!”

Han Yurou hugged her and gave her a big kiss on the cheek.

Han Qing smiled helplessly.

This child.

However, two days later, the situation changed.

Su Yuling suddenly returned to normal.

That morning, she came out to have breakfast with Qin Lin as usual.

But after finishing the meal, she didn't follow Qin Lin back to the room like she had the previous days. Instead, she went to the ecological box alone.

“Yuling?” Su Yuran was somewhat surprised. “You're not looking for your Brother Lin anymore?”

Su Yuling looked back at her with a calm expression.

“No, I've spent enough time with him these past few days. He needs to recover from his injuries.”

After saying that, she stepped into the ecological box and closed the door.

Leaving everyone in the living room looking at each other in bewilderment.

Han Yurou was the first to react.

“Brother Lin!”

She jumped up and threw herself directly at Qin Lin.

“I missed you so much!”

“Missed me? It's only been a few days.”

“Even a few days is missing you!”

Han Yurou clung to his embrace, refusing to get up.

“You don't know, my mom kept stopping me and wouldn't let me go find you.”

Qin Lin looked toward Han Qing.

Han Qing awkwardly looked away.

“Aunt Qing?” Qin Lin called her.

Han Qing cleared her throat.

“That... I was worried you were too tired and needed rest.”

After saying that, she walked away quickly, looking as if she had been caught doing something she shouldn't have.

Qin Lin smiled.

“Thank you for your concern, Aunt Qing, but I'm full of energy right now.”

Han Yurou raised her head from his chest.

“Then shall we go back to the room now?”
