210: Chapter 210 Aunt?
Just as the words left his mouth, footsteps were heard from upstairs.
A woman in her early thirties, with a gentle and petite appearance, walked down while rubbing her eyes.
“Sister, who's here?”
She froze when she saw Lin Wanwan.
“Wanwan?”
Lin Wanwan looked at her.
“Auntie.”
Wang Xiulan's tears welled up instantly.
“Wanwan! You're still alive!”
She ran over and hugged Lin Wanwan.
This was her... maternal aunt?
Qin Lin looked at her, feeling a bit confused; if he didn't know better, he would have thought she was Lin Wanwan's sister.
The two of them really had very similar figures.
Both belonged to the petite type.
It was just that Lin Wanwan looked a bit more gentle.
“Your mom told me you were missing. I thought... I thought...”
Lin Wanwan hugged her aunt and also started crying.
“Auntie, I'm fine. I'm doing well.”
Once Wang Xiulan had cried her fill, she held Lin Wanwan's hand and peppered her with questions.
When she heard that she had come in a RV, her eyes lit up.
“An RV? What kind of RV?”
Lin Wanwan said, “It's right outside. It's very big and very safe.”
Wang Xiulan ran to the window to look out. Seeing the massive RV, she exclaimed in wonder:
“Wow, it's so huge!”
Lin Wanwan took her parents' hands and tried to persuade them to leave with her.
“Dad, Mom, come with us. There's room on the RV, and it's very safe.”
Lin Jianguo shook his head.
“Wanwan, we're old. We don't want to toss and turn anymore.”
Wang Xiuying also nodded.
“Yes, it's quite good here. We have food and drink, and it's safe and comfortable. We don't want to go anywhere.”
Lin Wanwan grew anxious.
“But... but I want to be with you.”
Wang Xiuying hugged her daughter.
“Silly child, we don't want to be apart from you either, but it's too dangerous outside. With our old bones, we'd only be a burden to you if we went out.”
Lin Jianguo also advised, “Wanwan, we're at ease with you following Qin Lin. He looks like a good boy. You focus on your pregnancy and give birth to the child. When there's a chance in the future, come back and see us.”
Lin Wanwan cried very sorrowfully, but she also knew her parents were telling the truth.
They didn't want to become a burden.
As Wang Xiuying held her daughter, she suddenly remembered something.
“Oh right, Wanwan, take your aunt with you. She's alone; it's better for her to follow you than to stay with us.”
Lin Wanwan was taken aback for a moment.
“Auntie? Is she willing?”
“She's definitely willing,” Wang Xiuying said.
“She's wanted to go out and see the world for a long time, she just never had the chance.”
Hearing this from the side, Wang Xiulan's eyes lit up.
“Sister, is it really okay?”
Wang Xiuying nodded.
“Go on. You're still young; you shouldn't be trapped here with us.”
Wang Xiulan jumped up in joy.
“That's great! I've wanted to go out for ages! It's boring to death in here!”
Wang Xiuying glared at her.
“Can't you be a bit more steady?”
Wang Xiulan poked out her tongue.
“Sister, I finally get to go out, just let me be happy for a bit.”
Wang Xiuying smiled helplessly.
Lin Wanwan also smiled seeing her aunt's happy appearance.
Even though her parents were unwilling to leave, at least her aunt could go with them.
Qin Lin secretly pulled up the System interface that only he could see to check Wang Xiulan's information.
The System had just detected outside the shelter that there was a person meeting the requirements who could be recruited.
He really hadn't expected that this person meeting the requirements would actually be Lin Wanwan's aunt.
This was truly...
An incredible coincidence.
[New passenger detected: Wang Xiulan]
[Age: 32 years old]
[Height: 165cm]
[bust type: C]
[Beauty Rating: 92]
[body count: 0]
[Status: Not pregnant]
[comprehensive rating: 92 (Meets task requirements)]
Looking at the character information, Qin Lin thought to himself, 'Good heavens.'
Except for her age, her stats in all areas were very similar to Lin Wanwan's.
Qin Lin closed the System and said to Wang Xiulan:
“Welcome aboard.”
Wang Xiulan happily took his hand.
“Thank you! Thank you!”
Qin Lin felt a bit embarrassed having his hand held by her.
Wang Xiulan didn't care at all and even leaned in to look at him.
“So you're Qin Lin? Wanwan's man? You're really handsome.”
Lin Wanwan blushed.
“Auntie!”
Wang Xiulan laughed.
“What are you shy for? Auntie is happy for you.”
Everyone laughed.
Before leaving, Qin Lin moved a lot of supplies down from the RV.
Food, water, medicine, clothes, and daily necessities were piled high on the ground.
Lin Jianguo was stunned looking at these things.
“This... this is too much.”
Qin Lin said, “It's not much. Keep them and use them slowly.”
Regarding their choice, Qin Lin didn't say anything; he respected their decision.
If they were willing to leave, he would naturally take them, but if they wouldn't go, Qin Lin wouldn't force them.
But after all, he was taking their daughter away and now taking another relative too; he had to give them the supplies they deserved.
Wang Xiuying took his hand.
“Child, thank you. Thank you for saving my daughter and giving us so many things.”
Qin Lin shook his head.
“It's only right. Wanwan is my family, and so are you.”
Wang Xiuying's tears fell again.
“Good boy, good boy.”
Lin Wanwan hugged her parents, reluctant to part.
“Dad, Mom, I'll come back to see you when I have the chance.”
Wang Xiuying stroked her daughter's face.
“Alright, Mama will wait for you. Once the baby is born, remember to bring it back for Mama to see.”
Lin Wanwan nodded.
“I will.”
Lin Jianguo also walked over and patted Qin Lin's shoulder.
“Young man, I'm leaving Wanwan in your hands.”
Qin Lin said solemnly, “Don't worry, Uncle. I will take good care of her.”
Lin Jianguo nodded, his eyes turning red.
Lin Wanwan finally boarded the RV.
The door closed. She stood by the window, watching her parents' figures grow more distant, her tears flowing uncontrollably.
Xu Xue hugged her.
“Sister Wanwan, don't cry. This might be much better for them than following us.”
Lin Wanwan nodded, but her tears still wouldn't stop.
Wang Xiulan walked over and patted her back.
“Don't cry. Didn't your mom say? Once the baby is born, bring it back for her to see, then you can meet again.”
Lin Wanwan wiped her tears.
“Mm.”
The RV started up and drove toward the next stop.
...
Wang Xiulan quickly adapted to life on the RV.
She had a cheerful personality, loved to talk and laugh, and could chat with anyone.
Han Yurou liked her the most because she had gained another playmate.
Su Yuling also liked her because she was always smiling, which made people happy just looking at her.
“Sister Xiulan, what did you do before?”
Han Yurou asked curiously.
Wang Xiulan said, “I was a kindergarten teacher.”
Han Yurou's eyes lit up.
“No wonder you're so good at coaxing people!”
Wang Xiulan laughed.
“Coaxing you guys is even easier than coaxing little kids.”
Everyone laughed.
Li Ying leaned on the sofa, looking at Wang Xiulan.
“Sister Xiulan, are you married?”
Wang Xiulan was taken aback for a moment, then she smiled.
“No, I went on a few blind dates before, but none of them worked out.”
Li Ying raised an eyebrow.
“Why?”
Wang Xiulan thought for a moment.
“Maybe the fate just wasn't there. Now it's fine; it's the apocalypse, so there's even less need to think about it.”
Li Ying glanced at Qin Lin and smiled.
“That's not necessarily true.”
Wang Xiulan followed her gaze to Qin Lin, and her face turned slightly red.
“Don't talk nonsense, I'm Wanwan's aunt.”
Li Ying laughed even more happily, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally glancing toward Han Qing and Han Yurou.
“Alright, alright, I was talking nonsense.”
Wang Xiulan was speechless and stole a glance at Qin Lin.
Qin Lin was talking to Su Yuran and didn't notice this side.
She had already figured out the relationships between the people on the RV.
She found it very difficult to accept these relationships right now because they were truly too messy.
That night, Wang Xiulan lay in Lin Wanwan's bed in bedroom number 002, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Since the RV hadn't been upgraded, no new rooms had been unlocked yet, so she could only stay with Lin Wanwan.
She thought about what Li Ying had said during the day, and her mind was a mess.
The women on this RV were actually all Qin Lin's women.
Especially since they were all in pairs with various relationships.
And now she had been added.
Would she also have to... in the future?
How could that be allowed?
She was Lin Wanwan's aunt.
She felt like she had boarded a pirate ship and was now actually regretting it a little.
But thinking about it, compared to staying at home in a shelter forever, being able to live in different places outside seemed a bit better.
She sighed and rolled over.
Forget it, I won't think about it.
Over the next few days, the RV continued to travel between safe buildings.
