87: Su Yuran's "Schedule"

Han Qing sat on a chair by Qin Lin's bed, leaning over the edge, and had also fallen asleep.

Her head rested on her arm, her face turned toward Qin Lin.

One of her hands was still resting on Qin Lin's wrist, as if she had been checking his pulse before falling asleep.

This posture was clearly uncomfortable, but Han Qing slept deeply.

Her brow was slightly furrowed, and her eyelashes cast faint shadows in the morning light.

Su Yuran watched this scene, a slight smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

She didn't push the door open to enter, but instead turned to the kitchen to start preparing breakfast.

Lin Wanwan had also gotten up; seeing her in the kitchen, she walked over to help.

Lin Wanwan asked, "Yuran, can Qin Lin get out of bed today?"

"He should be able to."

"Aunt Qing was nursing him last night. I saw she was still asleep this morning."

Lin Wanwan was stunned for a moment.

"Aunt Qing is still sleeping in the Medical Room?"

"Mm-hmm."

Su Yuran nodded, speaking while cracking eggs.

"She fell asleep leaning against the bed; she looks exhausted."

The two exchanged a look, both seeing a glimmer of understanding in the other's eyes.

After breakfast was ready, Su Yuran went to wake Han Yurou before heading to the Medical Room.

When she pushed the door open, Han Qing was already awake.

She was standing by the bed, taking Qin Lin's temperature.

Seeing Su Yuran enter, her movements paused for a moment, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Good morning, Aunt Qing."

Su Yuran greeted her with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work; you didn't sleep well last night, did you?"

"It was fine."

Han Qing put away the thermometer.

"36.8, normal. He can get out of bed and move around today, but not for too long, and no strenuous exercise."

"Understood, Lady Doctor."

Qin Lin sat up and stretched.

"I've been lying down for three days; my bones are stiff."

Han Qing glared at him, said nothing, and turned to go wash up.

During breakfast, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Qin Lin was finally able to sit at the dining table and eat with everyone; although his movements were still a bit slow, his spirits were high.

Han Yurou chattered away about the new developments with the ecological box.

Lin Wanwan gently served porridge to everyone, while Su Yuran listened with a smile.

Only Han Qing was very quiet.

She sipped her porridge in small mouthfuls, rarely picking up any side dishes.

Occasionally, she would look up at Qin Lin, then quickly avert her gaze.

Su Yuran took all of this in.

After the meal, Qin Lin was allowed to move slowly within the RV.

He first went to the driver's cabin to check the System status and route planning.

Han Yurou followed him, pestering him with all sorts of questions.

Su Yuran, meanwhile, pulled Lin Wanwan into Room 001.

"Wanwan, I have something to discuss with you."

She closed the door, her expression serious.

"What is it?" Lin Wanwan asked.

Su Yuran sat down on the edge of the bed and patted the spot next to her.

After Lin Wanwan sat down, she took her hand.

"Wanwan, do you think Qin Lin's injury this time was dangerous?"

Lin Wanwan's face turned a bit pale.

"Very dangerous. When he came back that day, I thought... I thought he was going to die."

"I did too. So I was thinking, we have to do something. We can't let Qin Lin keep taking risks like this."

"What can we do?"

Lin Wanwan gave a bitter smile.

"He won't let us help find crystal stones; we can't help with that."

"No, we can help."

Su Yuran's eyes were firm.

"Do you remember the System tasks I told you about?"

Lin Wanwan was startled.

Recently, Su Yuran had gradually revealed Qin Lin's tasks to her.

"Qin Lin needs to get female passengers pregnant to obtain rewards and upgrade the RV."

"Once the RV is upgraded, its functions will be stronger, making it safer for Qin Lin to go out—he might not even need to go out at all."

"So, we have to help him complete the tasks."

"But..." Lin Wanwan's face reddened.

"Yuran, you're already pregnant, so next..."

"Next, it's your turn."

Su Yuran was straightforward.

"And then there's Aunt Qing."

Lin Wanwan's eyes widened.

"Aunt Qing? But she..."

"She likes Qin Lin, I can tell."

"It's just that she's older, and she's Yu Rou's mother, so she has reservations."

"But in the apocalypse, those reservations aren't important."

"What's important is that everyone can trust and support each other to survive together."

She paused, her voice softening.

"Besides, I don't want to see Qin Lin taking risks anymore. Every time he goes out, I'm terrified."

"If there's a safer way to upgrade the RV, I'm willing to do anything."

Lin Wanwan was silent for a while, then nodded.

"I understand. I also... don't want to see him get hurt."

"Good, then we'll help Qin Lin together."

Su Yuran smiled.

"I'm planning to make a 'Schedule Plan' to arrange all the female passengers on the RV."

"A schedule plan?"

Lin Wanwan blinked; this didn't sound like a very good plan.

She instantly understood Su Yuran's idea.

"It's... a timetable for taking turns accompanying Qin Lin."

Su Yuran spoke as if it were only natural.

"I'm already pregnant, so I have to be careful during the first three months; it can't be too frequent."

"So next, it'll mainly depend on you and Aunt Qing. As for Yu Rou, she can't be considered yet."

Lin Wanwan's face turned bright red.

"Yuran, this... you're being too direct, too improper!"

"In the apocalypse, it's better to be direct."

"Besides, this isn't anything shameful."

"We like Qin Lin, and Qin Lin likes us. It's mutual and voluntary, so what's the problem?"

She spoke with such conviction that Lin Wanwan didn't know what to say in response.

"Then... what about Aunt Qing's side?" Lin Wanwan asked.

"She might not agree."

"I'll find an opportunity to talk to her."

"But before that, let's observe for a bit."

"Look at these past few days; Aunt Qing's attitude toward Qin Lin has clearly changed. If they can develop on their own, we won't have to worry about it."

It was indeed different.

Over the next few days, Han Qing was almost inseparable from Qin Lin.

Even though Qin Lin could already get out of bed and move around.

Han Qing used the excuse that she "needed to observe his Recovery."

She required him to go to the Medical Room for a check-up three times a day.

Each check-up took more than half an hour.

During that time, they kept the door closed, and no one knew what they were doing.

And at night, Han Qing still slept in the Medical Room.

Her reason was: "Hypothermia might recur; nighttime monitoring is necessary."

This reason was very flimsy.

The RV's medical monitoring System was very sophisticated; it was entirely possible to remotely monitor Qin Lin's vital signs from any room.

But no one pointed it out.

Su Yuran was happy to see it happen.

She noticed that although Han Qing appeared serious on the surface, she actually took meticulous care of Qin Lin.

For example, when Qin Lin said he wanted to eat fruit, Han Qing went to the ecological box to pick freshly ripened cherry tomatoes, washed them, placed them on a plate, and fed them to him one by one.

For instance, when Qin Lin said his eyes were tired while reading, Han Qing went to get eye drops and personally helped him apply them.

For example, when Qin Lin said he couldn't sleep at night, Han Qing would sit by his bed and chat with him in a low voice until he fell asleep.

Su Yuran saw all these details.

This afternoon, Su Yuran went to the Medical Room to deliver water and saw an interesting scene when she pushed the door open.

Qin Lin was sitting on the hospital bed, and Han Qing was standing by the bed; the two seemed to be arguing about something.

"I said no, and I mean no," Han Qing said with a stern face.

"Your frostbite hasn't fully healed; you can't stand for long periods."

"But I've been lying down for so many days; it's time to plan our next move."

"You can plan while sitting down."

"It doesn't feel right sitting down."

"Then don't plan at all."

The two were bickering like children.

Qin Lin suddenly reached out and grabbed Han Qing's wrist.
