385: Chapter 385 Plan 2

After Han Yurou came out of the kitchen, she did not go directly to find Qin Lin.

She stood in the corridor for a while, thought for a moment, then turned and went to Su Yuran's room.

Su Yuran was sitting by the window reading a book, while Qin An was playing with building blocks nearby. The four-year-old Qin An had built a crooked tower and was carefully adding the final block to the top.

Seeing Han Yurou enter, Qin An looked up and called out in a milky voice, "Auntie Yu Rou."

Han Yurou crouched down and patted his head. "Good boy, Qin An is such a good boy."

Then she stood up and sat down opposite Su Yuran.

"Sister Yuran, I have something to tell you."

Su Yuran put down her book and looked at her. "What's the matter?"

Han Yurou hesitated for a moment before speaking. "My mother just told me in the kitchen to have another child."

Su Yuran looked at her. "And what do you think?"

Han Yurou lowered her head. "I think it's fine. Anyway, there are many children on The Ark; one more doesn't make much difference, and one less isn't a big deal. Besides, this is also part of The Ark's More Children, More Blessings Task. The more blessing points we have, the faster The Ark upgrades."

Su Yuran was silent for a moment. "If you want to have one, then just have one. Just go talk to Qin Lin; you don't need to come to me."

Han Yurou looked up at her. "I didn't come to ask you to help me talk to him; I came to... discuss a plan with you."

Su Yuran looked at her. "What plan?"

Han Yurou leaned in closer, lowering her voice. "The Ark needs more pregnant women, so what about the others? Li Ying, Xu Xue, Lin Wanwan, Zhou Lingling, Zhou Yueyue... don't they also want to have more children?"

Su Yuran looked at her without speaking.

Han Yurou continued, "There are over twenty women on The Ark now, some have already given birth, and some haven't. Most of those who have already given birth only had one. If everyone has another, then there will be over twenty more children on The Ark, and the blessing points will double as a result."

"Isn't Qin Lin always looking for new passengers? But new passengers need time to adapt; it would be faster to let the existing people have more children."

Su Yuran was silent for a long time, then she spoke. "You're right; we are indeed faster than looking for new people."

She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the starry sky outside. "But this plan cannot be forced. Those who are willing can have children, but those who aren't must not be forced."

Han Yurou nodded. "I know. I just wanted to discuss it with you first, and then we can go ask the others together to see if they are willing."

Su Yuran turned around to look at her. "Alright, let's go ask Li Ying first."

The two of them walked out of the room and came to the living room.

Li Ying was lying on a massage chair, and Qin Xu was taking apart a toy nearby, with parts scattered all over the floor.

Han Yurou walked over and sat down next to Li Ying. "Sister Ying, I have something to tell you."

Li Ying opened her eyes and glanced at her. "What is it?"

Han Yurou explained the plan for having more children.

Li Ying listened, was silent for a moment, then sat up and looked at her. "You mean, let us have another child?"

Han Yurou nodded.

Li Ying didn't even think about it and said, "Sure, lest your Brother Lin almost forgets about me."

Han Yurou's eyes lit up. "Then you agree?"

Li Ying nodded. "I agree."

Han Yurou happily turned to Su Yuran. "Sister Yuran, Sister Ying agreed!"

Su Yuran nodded. "Then let's go ask the others."

Over the next half day, Han Yurou and Su Yuran asked all the women on The Ark who had already given birth.

Lin Wanwan wanted to have another, saying, "Qin Yuan is too lonely by herself; it would be good to have a younger brother or sister to keep her company."

Xu Xue also agreed, saying, "If I have another, then Qin Xue will have a companion."

The sisters Zhou Lingling and Zhou Yueyue both agreed, saying, "Anyway, raising one child is the same as raising two."

Xia Qiuyan nodded. "Okay."

Lin Xiaoyue said, "Sure."

Lin Fang hesitated for a moment but also nodded.

Wang Xiulan said, "Many Children, Many Blessings, so let's have another."

Li Ran thought for a moment and also nodded.

When Su Yuling heard the news, she was walking in the corridor holding Qin Nian.

After listening to Han Yurou, she was silent for a moment, then said, "Then I'll have another."

Han Yurou happily took her hand. "That's great!"

In fact, the main reason was that they had been neglected by Qin Lin. Since arriving in the Otherworld, Qin Lin had been busy building relationships with the newcomers and had almost forgotten about them; this was the main reason they all agreed.

Su Yuran finally came to find Qin Lin.

Qin Lin was looking at the star map on the Bridge. Hearing Su Yuran enter, he turned his head to look at her. "Yuran, why are you here?"

Su Yuran sat down on the chair next to him. "Yu Rou came to find me today."

Qin Lin looked at her. "What is it?"

Su Yuran explained the plan for having more children.

Qin Lin listened for a long time, then laughed. "Are you all planning to have a second child collectively?"

Su Yuran nodded. "You could say that. The Ark needs more children, and the blessing points need more pregnant women; this is also faster than looking for new people."

Qin Lin looked at her. "And what about you? Are you willing to have another?"

Su Yuran also looked at him. "Of course I am willing."

Qin Lin reached out and took her hand. "Yuran, thank you."

Su Yuran smiled. "No need to thank me; matters on The Ark are my matters as well."

Qin Lin looked at her, his heart feeling warm.

He knew that Su Yuran was the first woman on The Ark and also the person who understood him best.

She would not get jealous, would not throw tantrums, and always stood quietly behind him, supporting his every decision.

"Yuran." Qin Lin called her.

"Hmm."

"Then you all should prepare."

Su Yuran looked at him, her face showing no shyness, only a composed "Okay."

"Okay, I'll go prepare." She stood up and left.

Qin Lin watched her back disappear around the corner of the corridor, the corners of his mouth curling up.

He felt that he was the happiest man in the world.

In the evening, Qin Lin went to Murong Wan's room.

Murong Wan was wearing that dark blue nightgown, her hair let down, leaning against the headboard reading a book.

Qin Lin walked over and sat down next to her, telling her about the plan for having more children.

After listening, Murong Wan put down her book and looked at him.

"You mean, the original women on The Ark are preparing to have a second child collectively?"

Qin Lin nodded. "Yes, Yuran and Yu Rou discussed it, and most of them agreed."

Murong Wan was silent for a moment, then reached out and touched her stomach. "This one of mine hasn't even been born yet, and they are already preparing for the next batch."

Qin Lin held her hand. "Auntie Wan, do you not want to have more?"

Murong Wan looked at him. "It's not that I don't want to, but I want to take good care of this pregnancy first."

She paused. "But Qin Lin, there is something I want to tell you."

Qin Lin looked at her. "What is it?"

Murong Wan lowered her head, her fingers gently tracing the sheets. "You mentioned before... that you wanted me and Xue'er to be together."
