220: Chapter 220 I was never thirsty as a child, all thanks to you.
Qin Lin hurriedly interrupted her, saying haphazardly:
"Aunt Qing, she is my mother-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Han Qing's brow furrowed, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
Then, she slowly turned her head to look at Qin Lin, her entire being showing a state of extreme shock.
Her face instantly went cold, reaching the stage of being about to explode in anger.
"Hmph! Qin Lin, what do you mean by that?"
After saying that, Han Qing decisively turned and left.
Seeing this, Qin Lin thought to himself that things had gone bad.
It's over.
Aunt Qing is truly angry.
Qin Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, cursing his own big mouth.
How could he have forgotten this? He could say that to anyone, but he absolutely couldn't say it to Han Qing.
Qin Lin quickly caught up to Han Qing and grabbed her hand.
"Aunt Qing, I didn't mean it like that."
Han Qing stopped, but she didn't look at him.
She was truly angry.
"Is that so?"
"It really isn't."
"It seems that in your eyes, I'm just someone who messes around."
"Aunt Qing, you've misunderstood me."
Han Qing shook off his hand, walked to the door, and looked back at him.
"Qin Lin, don't come to my 003 anymore."
Then she pushed the door and went out.
Qin Lin looked at the closed door and sighed.
"This really is... a sin!"
After Han Qing left, Qin Lin continued looking at the map.
He decided to find a time to apologize; after all, he really hadn't been considerate enough this time.
After all, Han Qing and Li Ran were technically the same type of person, yet he had treated them differently.
In the afternoon, everyone was passing the time in the living room.
Wang Xiulan and Xia Qiuyan sat together, talking about who knows what.
Su Yuran and Su Yuling accompanied their mother, the three of them looking out at the darkness from the window.
"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Su Yuran asked.
Li Ran looked out the window.
"Thinking about what it's actually like out there."
Su Yuran said, "It's very dark and very hot. There's nothing at all."
Li Ran sighed.
"I used to think the apocalypse was terrifying, but now that I've seen more of it, it's just like that."
Su Yuling said from the side, "With the RV here, we aren't afraid."
Li Ran looked at her daughter and suddenly asked, "Yuling, what are you afraid of?"
Su Yuling looked at Qin Lin and didn't answer her.
Seeing this, Li Ran fell silent.
This girl has truly changed.
"Mom," Su Yuran spoke up then, breaking the silent atmosphere.
"What do you think of Qin Lin?"
Li Ran snapped back to her senses.
"At first I didn't think much of him, but thinking about it now, he's alright. At least he's better than your father."
Su Yuran smiled.
...
In the evening, Qin Lin was in the Drivers Cabin looking at data.
At night, Qin Lin went to the Public Bathroom to take a shower.
He walked to the door and listened.
After confirming there was no sound of water inside,
he then pushed the door open and walked in.
To avoid the accident from last night.
The bathroom was empty.
He breathed a sigh of relief and began to shower.
Halfway through, the door was pushed open.
Xia Qiuyan stood at the door, holding a change of clothes.
Both of them were stunned.
Xia Qiuyan's face instantly turned bright red.
"I... I didn't know you were in here."
Qin Lin's gaze lingered on her long legs for a moment before he quickly withdrew his eyes.
"It's fine, I'm almost finished."
Xia Qiuyan kept her head down, not daring to look at him.
"I... I'll come back later."
She walked away quickly.
Qin Lin stood in the bathroom, smiling wryly.
This really was a coincidence; either he was running into her, or she was running into him.
After finishing his shower, Qin Lin returned to the Drivers Cabin.
Just as he sat down, the door was pushed open.
Li Ran stood at the door.
"Auntie?" Qin Lin stood up.
Li Ran walked in and sat down opposite him.
"I just saw Xiao Yan coming out of the bathroom, her face was very red."
Qin Lin was stunned for a moment.
"Is that so?"
Li Ran looked at him without saying anything.
Qin Lin felt a bit uncomfortable under her gaze.
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
Li Ran shook her head.
"Nothing."
She stood up, walked to the door, and looked back at him.
"Qin Lin, you really have to provoke everyone."
Then she left.
Provoke everyone?
Who did he provoke?
This mother-in-law of his was speaking more and more strangely.
The night grew deep.
Qin Lin left the Drivers Cabin and walked toward the hallway.
He couldn't go to 003, and he didn't dare to for the time being.
Aunt Qing must still be angry, and since Han Yurou was also there, it wasn't easy to say anything.
He needed to find an opportunity to comfort her alone.
After thinking for a moment, he turned toward 002 instead.
The System hadn't notified him that passenger 010 was pregnant; he had to keep working hard in 002.
Conceive early, conceive soon!!!
...
The next morning, when Qin Lin came out of 002, the sky was not yet bright.
The hallway was still empty.
He breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly toward the Drivers Cabin.
After just a few steps, the door to 000 opened right on time.
It was still Li Ran standing at the door.
She was wearing a loose black silk nightgown, yet the loose nightgown still couldn't hide her figure.
She wore slippers on her feet, and her toenails were painted red.
Truly large!
Qin Lin quickly looked away.
Li Ran spoke first: "Morning."
Qin Lin nodded.
"Morning."
Li Ran looked at him, her gaze moving from him to the door of 002.
"In 002 last night?"
"Yeah."
Li Ran nodded, said nothing more, and turned into the kitchen.
Qin Lin looked at her back; besides another sense of amazement at her mature charm, suspicion also arose in his heart.
This mother-in-law of his was in the hallway every morning; was it a coincidence or intentional?
...
In the kitchen, Li Ran was preparing breakfast.
When she leaned over to chop vegetables, she tilted her head forward, her movements very uncoordinated, and her mind was completely elsewhere.
She was thinking about what just happened.
She had seen the way Qin Lin stared at her.
It was a look of undisguised appreciation and wonder.
Even a desire to possess.
She looked down at herself; if she didn't lean over and tilt her head forward, she couldn't even see the knife she was using to chop vegetables.
Recalling the women on the RV, it seemed indeed that no one could compare to her.
Li Ran smiled.
"Mom, let me help you." Su Yuran walked in.
Li Ran quickly snapped back to her senses.
"No need, you go rest."
Su Yuran didn't listen and picked up a kitchen knife to help chop vegetables.
"Mom, you aren't suited for chopping vegetables?"
Li Ran was puzzled: "Why?"
Su Yuran looked at her, her eyes moving down slightly.
"Mom, it's easy for you to cut your hand when chopping vegetables?"
Li Ran finally realized what she meant.
"Well, look at you, Su Yuran, starting to tease your own mother now, are you?"
"I'm just telling the truth!"
"Fine, fine, fine, then you do it. These being too big isn't always a good thing; it really is hard for me to operate."
"How is it not a good thing? Yuling and I were never thirsty as kids, and that's all thanks to you."
"What nonsense are you talking, child? I'm going out first."
Li Ran put down the kitchen knife and quickly left.
...
At breakfast, everyone gathered in the living room.
Li Ying was teasing Han Yurou: "Didn't sleep well last night? You're so excited."
Han Yurou glared at her: "None of your business."
Li Ran still sat in the corner, eating quietly.
Her gaze drifted toward Qin Lin from time to time, then quickly moved away.
Wang Xiulan sat next to Lin Wanwan, a smile on her face.
Xia Qiuyan sat next to Li Ran, acting normally.
The events of last night were still vivid in her mind.
Qin Lin was showering, and she had burst in.
She had seen Qin Lin staring at her legs as if he were possessed.
Thinking of this, she revealed a mysterious smile.
