218: Chapter 218 Staying Overnight 002

The night was thick.

The RV sat steadily in the darkness; outside the window was the eternal heat of the Eternal Heat, Eternal Night.

The protective shield shimmered with a faint light, isolating the 82-degree high temperature of the outside world.

Inside the vehicle, the constant temperature of 24 degrees made one completely unable to feel the purgatory-like world outside.

Qin Lin sat on the sofa in the Drivers Cabin, the holographic screen in front of him glowing with a soft light.

He pulled up the room configuration interface and looked through it line by line.

Among them was the bedroom where he was going to sleep tonight.

[Current Room Configuration:]

[000 Master Bedroom: Li Ran, Su Yuling]

[001 Guest Bedroom: Su Yuran, Xia Qiuyan]

[002 Guest Bedroom: Lin Wanwan, Wang Xiulan]

[003 Guest Bedroom: Han Yurou, Han Qing]

[004 Guest Bedroom: Xu Xue, Li Ying]

[005 Guest Bedroom: Zhou Lingling, Zhou Yueyue]

The 000 Master Bedroom was occupied by his Mother-in-law and his Sister-in-law.

No, he decisively ruled it out.

At the very least, Li Ran was still in her adjustment period, and he absolutely couldn't mess around, so going there wasn't very appropriate.

Besides, with that girl Su Yuling, if he went, he could forget about sleeping.

She would leave marks all over him, and he'd wake up the next day covered in "injuries."

Although that feeling of pain mixed with pleasure was indeed very stimulating, he wanted to try a different flavor today.

Room 001 had Su Yuran and Xia Qiuyan, who had just boarded.

Su Yuran had been busy accompanying her mother lately and had fallen asleep early out of exhaustion.

Xia Qiuyan had just boarded and wasn't familiar with the environment yet; going there would be awkward instead.

Room 002 was Lin Wanwan and her Aunt.

Lin Wanwan had a gentle personality, never took the initiative to ask for anything, and was always very quiet.

Wang Xiulan had been on the vehicle for a while now.

Room 003 was Han Qing and Han Yurou.

This was the place he had visited most often these past few days.

Han Qing was rational and restrained during the day, but passionate as fire at night.

Not to mention Han Yurou; every time he went, she was as happy as if it were the New Year.

But he had just been there last night, so it wasn't suitable to go again tonight.

Room 004 had Xu Xue and Li Ying.

Li Ying was flirting anytime and anywhere, while Xu Xue smiled shyly beside her.

That room was never lacking in passion.

But he had been going to 004 for the past few nights, so he should change locations tonight.

Room 005 was the sisters, Zhou Lingling and Zhou Yueyue.

They were already targets who had completed their tasks, so forget it.

He looked around, and his gaze finally fell back on Guest Bedroom 002.

Wang Xiulan had already been on the vehicle for some time.

She should have adapted to life on the vehicle by now and also known some things about the Many Children, Many Blessings mission.

Lin Wanwan's Aunt, thirty-two years old, a kindergarten teacher, with a cheerful personality, loving to talk and laugh.

These days she had been adapting to life on the vehicle and got along well with everyone.

But Qin Lin knew that there were still things in her heart she hadn't let go of.

So he still needed to give her a hand.

He clicked in to look at the information the System had detected about her:

Beauty Score 92, Comprehensive Score 92, body count 0.

A thirty-two-year-old woman who had never had a man.

This was rare in the world before the apocalypse.

He didn't know what she had experienced before or why she had remained single, but at least it proved one thing: she wasn't a casual person.

Now she was on this vehicle, living in 002, squeezed into a bed with Lin Wanwan.

She should have already understood the relationships on the vehicle and should know that she would have to face this day sooner or later.

Qin Lin turned off the System and stood up.

Since she had to face it sooner or later, then let it be tonight.

He walked out of the Drivers Cabin; the hallway was very quiet.

The night light of the ecological box glowed with a dim yellow light, and the doors to the other rooms were all closed.

He walked to the door of 002 and raised his hand to knock.

Three short and one long.

Faint footsteps came from inside.

The door opened, and Lin Wanwan stood at the doorway, wearing a light-colored nightgown.

She saw Qin Lin and smiled.

"Come in."

Qin Lin walked in, and the door closed behind him.

Bedroom 002 wasn't large; at this moment, Wang Xiulan was wearing a white silk nightgown, sitting on the bed with her back against the headboard, holding a book in her hand.

Seeing Qin Lin come in, her body stiffened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Qin Lin? Why are you here?"

Her voice was very calm, but her fingers holding the book tightened slightly.

Qin Lin sat down by her bed. "I came to see you."

Wang Xiulan's face flushed slightly.

"See me for what?"

"To see if you're adjusting."

Lin Wanwan laughed nearby.

"Auntie has adjusted very well; she even helped me wash the vegetables today."

Wang Xiulan glared at her.

"You talk too much."

Qin Lin looked at the two of them, suddenly feeling a bit emotional.

"Sister Xiulan," he began.

"Have you gotten used to being on the vehicle these past few days?"

Wang Xiulan nodded.

"I'm used to it. It's much better than at home; home was stifling, at least it's lively here."

Qin Lin smiled.

"That's good."

Lin Wanwan walked over and sat down next to Qin Lin, naturally leaning against his shoulder.

Wang Xiulan watched this scene, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She had accepted this fact long ago.

But accepting it was one thing; when it was her turn, she was still nervous.

Qin Lin reached out and took Wang Xiulan's hand. Her hand was very cold, and her fingertips were trembling slightly.

"Sister Xiulan, I'm staying overnight in 002 tonight."

Wang Xiulan lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"Oh..."

"O... kay... wel... welcome."

"Welcome? Then why is your hand shaking?"

Wang Xiulan didn't speak.

Lin Wanwan laughed nearby.

"Auntie, what are you shy about?"

Wang Xiulan glared at her.

"Who's shy?"

Lin Wanwan laughed even more happily.

"Your face is all red."

Wang Xiulan reached out to cover her mouth.

"Stop talking!"

The two of them messed around together.

Qin Lin looked at them and smiled.

The tense atmosphere was diluted quite a bit.

After they had enough fun, Wang Xiulan leaned against the headboard, looked at Qin Lin, and remained silent for a long time.

Then she suddenly smiled.

"You know, I went on many blind dates before, and I was in a few relationships, but none of them worked out."

Qin Lin didn't know what to say.

Wang Xiulan reached out and gently held his hand.

"Qin Lin, I don't regret getting on the vehicle." Her voice was very soft.

Wang Xiulan took a deep breath: "I know the rules and missions on this vehicle, and I know this day would come sooner or later. I..."

She couldn't go on.

Her face grew redder and redder, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

Lin Wanwan walked over and hugged her from behind.

"Auntie, don't be nervous, I'll be with you."

Wang Xiulan nodded, and tears fell.

Qin Lin reached out and wiped away her tears.

"Sister Xiulan, I won't let you be wronged."

Wang Xiulan looked at him and smiled through her tears.

"I believe you."

The lighting was soft.

This night was very long and very warm.

Outside the window, the darkness remained.

But in Bedroom 002, the lights stayed on for a long, long time.

Intermittent sounds also continued for a long, long time.

...

...

In the adjacent Bedroom 003, Han Yurou lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Han Qing was beside her and wasn't asleep either.

"Mom, where do you think Brother Qin Lin went tonight?" Han Yurou asked.

Han Qing thought for a moment: "Maybe in 003, doesn't he go there often?"

"Hmph, 003 again, Sister Li Ying is really shameless."

Han Qing heard her cursing Sister Li Ying like that and was too embarrassed to respond to her.

She really wanted to say: "The two of you are exactly the same, neither of you should talk about the other."
