275: Chapter 275 Qin Lin: Su Yuling should have returned to normal.

In the evening, everyone sat around on the grass to have dinner.

Han Qing used ingredients from the System Store, combined with wild vegetables and fish they had gathered, to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

The fish soup was fresh, the wild vegetables were tender, and everyone ate happily.

Han Yurou drank a bowl of fish soup, then another, her face flushed.

"Mom, this fish soup is so delicious," she said.

Han Qing smiled: "If you like it, drink more."

Lin Wanwan ate in small bites, while Wang Xiulan picked food for her from the side.

"Wanwan, eat more."

Lin Wanwan nodded and ate a bit more than usual.

Su Yuling leaned on Qin Lin's shoulder, holding a bowl of soup in her hands, sipping it slowly.

"Dad, do you think we will come back here in the future?" she asked.

Qin Lin thought for a moment: "Yes."

Su Yuling smiled: "Then let's come back when the flowers bloom."

Qin Lin nodded: "Okay."

Li Ran sat nearby, and hearing their conversation, the corners of her mouth curled up.

After dinner, everyone returned to their respective RVs to rest.

Qin Lin stood on the grass, looking at the starry sky.

Su Yuling and Li Ran accompanied him; the three of them stood side by side, neither speaking.

The night breeze blew by, carrying the scent of grass and flowers.

The distant mountains shimmered with silver light under the moonlight, and the stars were dense, as if a layer of crushed diamonds had been spread across the sky.

"Aunt Ran," Qin Lin called her.

"Hmm?"

"Do you like it here?"

Li Ran thought for a moment: "I do. But I like the RV more."

Qin Lin looked at her: "Why?"

Li Ran smiled: "Because on the RV, we can..."

Qin Lin was stunned, not expecting Li Ran to make such a suggestive remark.

"If you want to do it, we can do it here too."

That night, Qin Lin did not return to the RV but pitched a tent on the grass.

Su Yuling and Li Ran accompanied him.

Listening to the chirping of insects and the sound of the wind outside, the moonlight shone through the cracks in the tent onto the people moving incessantly.

The apocalypse was still ongoing, but in this Paradise, they had found temporary peace.

Staying in this Paradise for three days, everyone had adapted to life here.

Every morning, Qin Lin would take a few people to explore the forest, gathering wild fruits and vegetables, and occasionally catching fish.

In the afternoon, everyone did what they liked.

Some painted, some planted flowers, some knitted sweaters, and some sunbathed.

At night, they sat together for dinner, watched the stars, and chatted.

The days passed slowly, quietly, and beautifully.

On the fourth morning, Qin Lin sat on the grass, looking at the distant mountains.

Su Yuling lay on his lap, holding a book in her hand, but she wasn't reading it.

She closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth curled up, as if enjoying the sunshine.

Li Ran was planting flowers nearby; the flower seeds planted three days ago had already sprouted, with tender green seedlings poking out of the soil, looking very cute.

Qin Lin bought some construction Materials from the System Store and built a simple shed next to the RV to store supplies and tools.

He also bought some seeds and farm tools, cleared a patch of land on the grass, and planted vegetables.

Li Ran's Flower Garden had already taken shape, and the flower seedlings were growing well; in a few more days, they would bloom.

She bought some more flower seeds and planted the empty space around the RV.

Xu Xue set up an easel at the edge of the forest, painting from morning till night every day, capturing every corner of this Paradise.

Her canvases were piling up, filling the shed.

Xia Qiuyan accompanied her the whole time, helping her mix paints and wash brushes, as quiet as a leaf.

Li Ying lay on the grass every day to sunbathe, from morning till night.

However, her skin really didn't tan; it just became a bit rosier, looking healthier.

"Brother Qin Lin, come over here and touch this," she beckoned to Qin Lin.

Qin Lin walked over, squatted down, and touched her arm.

The skin was smooth and warm.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Li Ying smiled: "Nothing, I just wanted you to touch it. I spent so many days tanning this skin; if I don't let you touch it, wouldn't it be a waste?"

Qin Lin couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

Xu Xue was painting nearby, and hearing their conversation, the corners of her mouth curled up.

Xia Qiuyan sat beside her, head lowered, her face slightly flushed.

In the afternoon, Qin Lin was planting vegetables in the field, and Su Yuling squatted nearby to help.

"Dad, how deep should I dig this hole?" she asked.

Qin Lin said: "About ten centimeters."

Su Yuling used her small hands to dig the hole, very seriously.

Her fingers were covered in mud, but she didn't care at all.

Li Ran walked over, holding a bowl of water, and handed it to Qin Lin: "Drink some water, don't get heatstroke."

Qin Lin took the water bowl, took a sip, looked at Su Yuling, and smiled: "Yuling, your hands are covered in mud, go wash them first."

Su Yuling shook her head: "No need, I'll wash them after I'm done planting."

Li Ran looked at her daughter, her eyes gentle.

...

Staying in this Paradise for seven days, the days passed like a poem.

Every morning, they were awakened by the sound of birds, and pushing open the door of the RV revealed blue skies, white clouds, and the scent of grass.

The pregnant women walked on the grass, the painters set up easels by the stream, and the knitters sat in the shade of the trees, working stitch by stitch.

Qin Lin felt that if they lived like this for too long, they really wouldn't want to leave.

On the eighth morning, Li Ran's Flower Garden finally bloomed.

It wasn't the artificial scent of perfume, but the real scent of flowers growing from the soil.

He walked out of the RV and saw Li Ran standing next to the Flower Garden, with her back to him.

The flowers in the Flower Garden had bloomed.

Colorful flowers bloomed in the morning light—red, yellow, purple, white—like an overturned palette. Dewdrops hung on the petals, sparkling in the sunlight.

Bees buzzed among the flowers, and butterflies rested on the petals.

Li Ran heard footsteps and turned around.

"Qin Lin, look, the flowers have bloomed."

Qin Lin walked over, stood beside her, and looked at the sea of flowers.

Honestly, he didn't understand flowers, and couldn't name these flowers, but he could feel Li Ran's joy.

"Very beautiful."

Li Ran squatted down, reached out to touch the petals, with a gentle smile on her face.

She looked at these flowers as if she were looking at her own children.

From sowing the seeds to now, she watered, weeded, and loosened the soil every day, watching them sprout, grow leaves, and bloom; every step was poured with her heart and soul.

Qin Lin reached out and put his arm around her shoulder: "We can plant more in the future."

Li Ran leaned on his shoulder and softly murmured "Mhm."

Su Yuling ran down from the RV, barefoot, her hair messy.

She saw the Flower Garden, paused for a moment, and then screamed.

"Mom! The flowers have bloomed!"

She rushed over, squatted beside the Flower Garden, reached out to touch the petals, her eyes shining.

"So pretty! Mom, you're amazing!"

Sunlight shone on her, her hair fluttering in the breeze; she squatted by the edge of the Flower Garden, patiently teaching Han Yurou to identify the types of flowers.

Her voice was very soft and gentle, as if she were talking to a small child.

Qin Lin suddenly felt that Su Yuling's "yandere" nature might not be an illness, but a way of expressing love.

She was just too afraid of losing him, afraid of being neglected, so she used all her strength to hold on.

And now, she had found a sense of security, and that "illness" had slowly faded, turning into a gentle, clingy, and heart-wrenching kind of love.

After all, she hadn't displayed her previous state this time.

Qin Lin guessed that she should have achieved Recovery.
