380: Chapter 380 Deliberately Creating a Sense of Crisis

Murong Wan saw it, but said nothing.

Su Han saw it, but said nothing.

Murong Xue saw it, but also said nothing.

But their eyes had all changed.

In the Medical Room, Murong Wan said to Han Qing, "Li Ruyan is pursuing him so closely; Qin Lin will be taken by her sooner or later."

Han Qing was organizing medicine and didn't even look up. "It's only a matter of time. That man, Qin Lin, cannot refuse women."

Su Han was in her room trying to Cultivate, but her mind was not on it.

She thought about how Li Ruyan went to find Qin Lin every day, and remembered the look in Qin Lin's eyes when he looked at her.

She didn't care before, but now she did.

She closed her book, stood up, and walked out of the room.

Qin Lin was in the Bridge looking at a star map when Su Han walked in and sat in the chair next to him.

"Qin Lin."

Qin Lin turned his head to look at her.

"Why are you here?"

Su Han looked at him.

"You didn't come to find me this afternoon."

Qin Lin was taken aback.

"I forgot, I'm sorry."

Su Han was silent for a moment.

"Will you come tomorrow?"

Qin Lin nodded.

"I will."

Su Han stood up.

"Then I will wait for you." She left.

Sitting on the Bridge, Qin Lin watched her retreating figure and felt that she was also jealous, or rather, that Li Ruyan's initiative had made her feel a sense of crisis.

Murong Xue also took action.

Wearing that white nightdress, she stood at the door of Qin Lin's room and knocked three times.

Qin Lin opened the door, saw her, and was taken aback.

"Why are you here?"

Murong Xue walked into the room and sat down by his bed.

"You haven't come to find me lately."

Qin Lin sat down beside her.

"I've been busy lately."

Murong Xue looked at him.

"Are you busy, or are you busy keeping Li Ruyan company?"

Qin Lin looked at her.

"Are you jealous?"

Murong Xue lowered her head.

"No, it's just that you used to come every day, and now that you don't, I'm not used to it."

Qin Lin reached out and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Then I'll come more often in the future."

Murong Xue leaned on his shoulder.

"Qin Lin, when will you have a child with me?"

Qin Lin was taken aback.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Murong Xue looked up at him.

"Li Ruyan is so proactive; you will be taken by her sooner or later, and I don't want to fall behind."

Qin Lin looked at her, not knowing what to say.

Murong Xue leaned back on his shoulder.

Qin Lin hugged her tighter.

"Then let's start right now."

...

Su Han also began to take initiative.

She no longer just waited for Qin Lin to find her; she would go to the Bridge to find him, wait for him in the living room, and create "chance encounters" in the hallway.

Once, she met Qin Lin and Li Ruyan walking together in the hallway. She walked over and stood next to Qin Lin without saying a word, but she took hold of Qin Lin's hand.

Li Ruyan looked at their clasped hands, said nothing, turned around, and left.

Qin Lin watched Li Ruyan's retreating figure, then looked at Su Han.

"Did you do that on purpose?"

Su Han looked at him. "Yes, I did it on purpose. She can come to find you, and so can I."

Qin Lin laughed.

"So you get jealous too."

Su Han did not deny it.

"I didn't before, but now I do."

Qin Lin squeezed her hand tightly.

Murong Wan was the most composed one.

She didn't compete or fight, didn't cause a scene or ask questions, but she knew that Qin Lin would face a choice sooner or later.

One night, she was waiting for Qin Lin in her room. When he arrived, she had him sit in front of her.

"Qin Lin, what are you planning to do?"

Qin Lin looked at her.

"What do you mean, what am I planning to do?"

Murong Wan looked at him.

"About Li Ruyan—she's pursuing you so closely, and Su Han and Xue'er are both getting anxious. How do you plan to handle it?"

Qin Lin was silent for a moment.

"I don't know."

Murong Wan reached out and touched his face.

"Qin Lin, it's not that you don't know; it's that you're doing it on purpose."

Qin Lin looked at her and smiled awkwardly.

"You saw right through me."

Murong Wan smiled.

"There's nothing I don't know. With your little schemes, it's obvious at a glance that it's intentional."

Qin Lin took her hand.

"Auntie Wan, I have another idea. Do you know what it is?"

Murong Wan looked into his eyes.

"What idea?"

"When will you bring Little Xue to come find me?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Wan frowned.

Then she rolled her eyes at Qin Lin: "In your dreams. You even want me and Xue'er together? Keep dreaming."

After saying that, Murong Wan hurried away.

But Qin Lin knew that the seed had already been planted, and it would sprout sooner or later.

...

The women on The Ark began to compete secretly.

Li Ruyan brought Qin Lin tea, snacks, and Warmth every day.

Su Han went to the Bridge to find him every day, sitting beside him without speaking, but her presence was a declaration.

Murong Xue came to Qin Lin's room every night, sitting by his bed to chat until very late.

Murong Wan didn't compete, but she left a lamp on for Qin Lin every day, waiting for him to come, and she had started interacting with Murong Xue in the past few days.

Qin Lin felt surrounded by four women.

He sat on the Bridge, looking at the star map on the holographic screen, feeling that life on The Ark was much more complicated than he had imagined.

The System popped up a notification.

[Notification: The conception windows for passengers Su Han, Murong Xue, and Li Ruyan have all reached their optimal values. It is recommended to arrange for cohabitation as soon as possible. The progress of the "Many Children, Many Blessings" mission will directly affect the upgrade speed of The Ark.]

Qin Lin looked at those words, feeling that the System was also pressuring him.

He closed the notification, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

He thought of the apocalypse on Earth, the RV, and the women who had walked with him through it all.

He thought all he needed to do was survive, but he hadn't expected to have to deal with so many women's affairs.

Footsteps echoed in the hallway.

Li Ruyan walked in carrying tea, placed it on the console, and glanced at him.

"Qin Lin, are you tired?"

Qin Lin opened his eyes and looked at her.

"A little."

Li Ruyan walked behind him and reached out to press on his shoulders.

"I'll give you a massage."

Qin Lin did not refuse.

Li Ruyan's fingers pressed onto his shoulders, the pressure neither too light nor too heavy, just right.

Qin Lin closed his eyes, feeling that her fingers had a warm strength that pressed the exhaustion away bit by bit.

Li Ruyan massaged for a long time, until Qin Lin felt the soreness in his shoulders had completely disappeared.

She withdrew her hands and walked to the door.

"Get some good rest; I'll come again tomorrow."

Qin Lin sat on the Bridge, looking at the cup of tea that was still steaming, picked it up, and took a sip.

...

The Ark continued to cruise through the interior of the Central Region.

Qin Lin's daily life became extremely routine.

Mornings were woken up by Li Ruyan's tea, afternoons were filled by Su Han's waiting, evenings were occupied by Murong Xue's chatting, and late nights were drawn by Murong Wan's light.

Four women, four methods, four time slots, filling his every day completely.

He felt like a piece of iron attracted by four magnets, pulled in every direction.

Li Ruyan was the one pursuing him the most closely.
