80: Aunt Qing fell down again.

Dinner was a simple meal of stew and rice.

Because they had to move out tomorrow, everyone ate quickly and spoke little.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

After dinner, Qin Lin went to the driver's cabin to check the System again.

The RV was in good condition: infinite energy, weapon Systems on standby, and active defense activated.

As long as they didn't encounter a large-scale armed gang, safety shouldn't be an issue.

He pulled up the structural diagram of the Power Station to study possible entrances.

The roof of the main factory building had collapsed, and the main entrance might be blocked.

However, Power Stations usually have maintenance tunnels and emergency exits; those places should still be accessible.

Qin Lin planned the route and set up emergency protocols before returning to the living room.

Everyone had finished washing up and was preparing to rest.

“Go to sleep early,” Qin Lin said. “We have to get up early tomorrow.”

“Goodnight, Brother Lin!”

Han Yurou was the first to return to room 003.

Lin Wanwan and Su Yuran also returned to their respective rooms.

Su Yuran gave Qin Lin a kiss on the cheek.

“Be careful tomorrow.”

“I know.”

Qin Lin gave her a hug.

Finally, only Han Qing was left.

The two glanced at each other, both feeling a bit awkward.

Qin Lin sat alone in the living room, looking out at the snowy night.

The night deepened.

The RV's interior lights dimmed, entering night mode.

Except for the necessary safety indicator lights, most areas were shrouded in soft, dim light.

Qin Lin sat in the living room for a while, studying the plan for tomorrow's operation until his eyes began to ache.

He checked the time: eleven o'clock at night.

It was time to rest.

But for some reason, he wasn't sleepy.

Perhaps it was the tension of tomorrow's mission, or perhaps it was the stimulation of being in such an extreme environment during the day.

Or perhaps... there were still certain things on his mind.

He got up to pour a glass of water and sipped it slowly.

Just then, the bathroom door opened.

Su Yuran was the first to come out after showering.

She was draped in a light pink bathrobe, the belt tied loosely, revealing her delicate collarbones and a section of her fair calves.

Her wet hair hung over her shoulders, water droplets dripping from the ends and creating dark spots on the bathrobe.

“Not asleep yet?”

Seeing Qin Lin, she walked over with a smile.

“Soon.”

Qin Lin set down his glass, his gaze involuntarily falling upon her.

The neckline of the bathrobe was slightly open, revealing a glimpse of her curves.

Su Yuran's figure was indeed top-tier.

A slender neck, delicate collarbones.

Full breasts, tapering down to a narrow waist and those straight, long legs.

She walked to Qin Lin's side and naturally sat on his lap, her arms wrapping around his neck.

“Brother Lin, do I look good?”

She blinked, asking despite knowing the answer.

Unable to resist the temptation, Qin Lin wrapped his arms around her waist.

“You little vixen, you look beautiful.”

“You only know how to say sweet things.”

Su Yuran laughed and gave him a light kiss on the lips.

“But I love hearing them.”

They shared a moment of intimacy before Su Yuran let out a yawn.

“I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed. You should rest early too; we have to get up early tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Su Yuran returned to Room 001.

Next was Lin Wanwan.

When she came out after her shower, she was wearing an off-white bathrobe, its style conservative and wrapped tightly.

Yet the soft fabric of the robe still outlined the gentle curves of her body.

Her figure wasn't as stunning as Su Yuran's.

But she had a gentle, reserved beauty, like the waters of Jiangnan—soft and lingering.

“Wanwan,” Qin Lin called to her.

Lin Wanwan walked over, her face slightly flushed.

“What is it?”

“Nothing, I just wanted to look at you.”

Qin Lin took her hand.

“Are you tired today?”

“Not tired.”

Lin Wanwan shook her head. “I'm just a little worried about tomorrow. Do we really have to go to that Power Station? It sounds very dangerous.”

“With the RV here, it'll be fine.”

“Besides, we're just going to take a look. If there's danger, we'll retreat.”

“Mm.”

Lin Wanwan nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly,

“Then... are you coming to my room tonight?”

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment.

Since Su Yuran became pregnant, the relationship between the three of them had become somewhat subtle.

Su Yuran needed rest and couldn't be too physically intimate too frequently.

And Lin Wanwan had always been gentle, never actively demanding anything.

This was the second time she had taken the initiative to invite him.

Qin Lin's heart softened, and he gave her a hug.

“Okay, you go first. I'll be there in a moment.”

Lin Wanwan's face turned even redder. She nodded and quickly returned to room 002.

Then came Han Yurou.

When the young girl came out after her shower, she had already changed into pajamas.

A cotton set printed with cartoon patterns; she looked very cute.

Her hair was wrapped in a towel, and her face was flushed red, steaming from the heat.

“Brother Lin isn't asleep yet?” she said giggling. “Are you waiting for Sister Wanwan?”

Qin Lin was a bit embarrassed by her words:

“Don't talk nonsense, kid.”

“I'm already eighteen, I'm not a kid.”

Han Yurou curled her lip but didn't say anything more.

“Then I'm going to sleep. Goodnight!”

“Goodnight.”

Han Yurou returned to room 003.

Now, only Han Qing had yet to wash up.

Because of her foot injury, she needed to be extra careful while showering, so she was last in line.

Qin Lin originally wanted to return to his room to wait, but for some reason, he remained seated in the living room.

Perhaps he was worried about her foot.

Or perhaps... he was anticipating something.

Qin Lin shook his head, suppressing the thought.

He opened the System interface and continued to study the Power Station's structural diagram, trying to distract himself.

Time passed minute by minute.

The faint sound of water came from the bathroom, a pitter-patter that was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

Qin Lin found that he couldn't focus on the map at all.

His entire attention was focused on that door.

Han Qing was inside.

Naked.

Hot water washing over her body, flowing over those places he had once touched... Stop!

Qin Lin rubbed his face hard, trying to clear his head.

Alcohol can fade, but memories do not.

Those fragments from last night became exceptionally clear in the silent, deep night.

The softness of her body, her moans, her response... “Calm down, calm down.”

Qin Lin whispered to himself.

He stood up, preparing to go back to his room.

He couldn't stay here any longer, or something would happen.

But just then—

[System Notification: Abnormal situation detected in the bathroom]

[passenger no. 004, Han Qing, vital signs fluctuating]

[Heart rate surging, blood pressure abnormal]

[Fall risk detected: High]

[Suggestion: Check immediately]

Qin Lin's heart gave a violent thud.

A fall?

Han Qing's foot injury hadn't healed yet, and the bathroom was slippery. If she fell... Without any hesitation, he rushed toward the bathroom.

The door was locked, but Qin Lin had supreme authority.

He pressed the emergency unlock button, and the door opened with a 'click'.

“Aunt Qing? Are you okay...”

Mid-sentence, Qin Lin froze.

The bathroom was filled with steam.

Han Qing had fallen beside the bathtub, naked, with water droplets still clinging to her body.

One of her legs was draped over the edge of the tub, while the other was curled up. Her hands were pressed against the floor as she tried to crawl up.

It was clear from her posture that she had slipped just as she was stepping into the tub.

Her wet hair clung to her face and shoulders, and water droplets slid down the curves of her body.

Hearing the door open, she looked up in alarm.

Their eyes met.
