237: Chapter 237 Passenger No. 014, Lin Xiaoyue, is successfully pregnant.

"Change of heart?" Qin Lin smiled. "In the apocalypse, where do you think you could even go? Outside, it's dozens of degrees below or above zero; can you even get out?"

Lin Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, then she smiled.

"That's true."

She was silent for a while and took another sip of water, as if cheering herself up. After all, this was her first time; it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous.

She put down the water cup, stood up, and walked in front of Qin Lin: "Qin Lin, I'm a more realistic person. I know that in the apocalypse, I can only survive by following you."

"And... you're handsome, have a good personality, and are gentle with women. Being with you, I'm not getting the short end of the stick."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Just that?"

Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment: "One more thing, I don't want to be the one person on the vehicle left out. They've all followed you, and I don't want to be the exception."

Qin Lin stood up and reached out to rub her head: "Silly girl."

Lin Xiaoyue's eyes reddened: "Qin Lin, do you think I'm too realistic?"

Qin Lin shook his head: "Being realistic is good. Those who can survive the apocalypse are all realistic people."

Lin Xiaoyue threw herself into his arms, her voice choking: "Thank you."

Qin Lin held her: "No need to thank me."

...

...

That night, Lin Xiaoyue stayed on the third floor.

Han Qing went back to 003 and squeezed in with Han Yurou for the night.

Meanwhile, on the first floor, Room 006.

Lin Fang sat on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She knew Lin Xiaoyue had gone to the third floor, and she knew what would happen.

She was very conflicted.

On one hand, she felt this wasn't quite right, after all, they hadn't been on the vehicle for long, and...

On the other hand, she felt Lin Xiaoyue was right. In the apocalypse, just being alive is good enough, why be so picky?

She remembered what Lin Xiaoyue said during the day.

"Sister-in-law, think about it, you're a single woman now, there's no need to stick to those old rules."

"The Captain is a good person, at least better than those men outside. Otherwise, he would have forced us long ago since we've been on the vehicle for so long."

"If you feel embarrassed, I'll go first. Once I've established myself, you can consider it."

Lin Fang sighed.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about these things, it was just...

She couldn't let go of the burden in her heart.

She was a conservative person, used to following the rules.

Before the apocalypse, Xiaoyue also looked for her and invited her over to play, and it was because of this that she met Su Zhenyun. Although Su Zhenyun had also dropped hints, she had directly refused him. Besides, that feeling of living under someone else's roof was unpleasant.

Now that she was on the RV, she was even more lost.

She didn't know what to do, and she didn't know who to trust.

The only one she could rely on was Lin Xiaoyue, her Sister-in-law.

But now, even Lin Xiaoyue was going to cling to Qin Lin.

What should she do?

Lin Fang lay on the bed, eyes open, only falling asleep late at night.

...

The next morning, when Qin Lin woke up, Lin Xiaoyue was still sleeping.

She slept soundly, a satisfied smile on her face.

Qin Lin got up quietly, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and then went downstairs for breakfast.

In the living room, Su Yuran was chatting with Lin Wanwan. Seeing him come down, Su Yuran smiled and asked, "How was last night?"

Qin Lin sat down: "It was alright."

Lin Wanwan asked in a low voice: "Where's Xiaoyue?"

"Still sleeping."

Su Yuran nodded: "Let her sleep a bit longer."

Lin Fang sat on the other side. Hearing their conversation, her expression wasn't very good.

Qin Lin noticed her expression but said nothing.

After a while, Lin Xiaoyue came down, wearing loose pajamas, her hair still a bit wet.

She walked over to sit beside Qin Lin and took the breakfast Su Yuran handed her: "Thank you, Sister Yuran."

Su Yuran smiled: "You're welcome. We're all family from now on."

Lin Xiaoyue's face turned red, and she lowered her head to eat breakfast.

Lin Fang looked at her with a complicated gaze.

After eating, Qin Lin went to the Drivers Cabin, and Lin Xiaoyue helped Su Yuran clear the dishes.

Lin Fang walked over and pulled Lin Xiaoyue to a corner of the hallway.

"Xiaoyue, did you really..."

"Sister-in-law, I've already decided," Lin Xiaoyue interrupted her. "Don't say anything more."

Lin Fang sighed: "I'm not trying to lecture you, I just wanted to say... take care of your body."

Lin Xiaoyue smiled: "I know, Sister-in-law."

...

Over the next few days, Lin Xiaoyue went to the third floor every night.

Han Qing was also sensible, going to sleep with Han Yurou every night to give them space.

The relationship between Qin Lin and Lin Xiaoyue progressed quickly. In less than a week, the two were already very familiar with each other.

Lin Xiaoyue had a direct personality and loved to laugh; being with her was very relaxing.

She wasn't yandere like Su Yuling, nor was she seductive like Li Ying; she was just simply happy and straightforward.

Qin Lin quite liked this feeling.

A week later, the System notification sounded.

[Detected a new Breakthrough in the "Many Children, Many Blessings" permanent mission]

[Passenger No. 014 Lin Xiaoyue has successfully conceived, milestone achieved]

[Milestone rewards being issued...]

[Reward 1: survival points +2000]

[Current survival points: 14069+2000=16069]

[Reward 2: blessing points +5]

[Current blessing points: 35+5=40]

[Other rewards: All passengers' Physique improved (already in effect)]

[Other rewards: ...]

Qin Lin looked at the prompt and smiled happily.

Another one settled.

Now there were only 5 non-pregnant passengers left: Han Qing, Su Yuling, Wang Xiulan, Lin Fang, and Li Ran.

Han Qing, Su Yuling, and Wang Xiulan were already his, they just hadn't conceived yet.

Lin Fang's rating wasn't high enough; he needed to find a way to increase it by one point first.

As for Li Ran... Qin Lin hadn't decided what to do yet.

She was different from Han Qing; Han Qing was obtained before Han Yurou.

Despite everything after, although she didn't agree at first, with Han Yurou's assist, she eventually accepted the relationship.

She even enjoyed that sense of taboo more than he did.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked him to call her that.

Qin Lin walked out of the Drivers Cabin and into the living room.

Lin Xiaoyue was sitting on the sofa. Seeing his expression, she had an idea: "Pregnant?"

Qin Lin nodded: "Mhm."

Lin Xiaoyue smiled: "So fast?"

Su Yuran walked over: "Congratulations, Xiaoyue."

Lin Xiaoyue's face was red: "Thank you, Sister Ran."

Lin Fang looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a complicated gaze.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

...

That night, Qin Lin returned to the third floor.

Han Qing was lying on the bed reading a book. Seeing him enter, she put down the book: "Is Lin Xiaoyue pregnant?"

Qin Lin nodded: "Mhm."

Han Qing sighed: "Why is my stomach so uncooperative?"

Qin Lin walked over and lay down beside her: "No rush, take it slow."

Han Qing leaned into his arms: "Do you think I'm too old to get pregnant?"

Qin Lin shook his head: "No, the System didn't say age prevents pregnancy, and the System even improved everyone's Physique."

Han Qing was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Qin Lin, I want to move back to the first floor."

Qin Lin was startled: "Why?"
