Chapter 88 Twenty Thousand Meters Underground
Celebrating the birth of the two children.
The parents of the two families coincidentally gathered at a table in the living room and played mahjong while chatting and laughing.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan felt it was a bit noisy, so they went for a walk outside.
The two came to a forest path not far from home, walking slowly in the evening breeze, enjoying the tranquility of the night.
Shen Qinghan, wearing a light pink dress, revealed a pair of slender white legs. She walked swayingly on the path, which was very eye-catching.
Lin Zichen couldn't help but glance at her several times, but he immediately looked away after just a moment.
"Xiaochen, how long have you been making that specimen photo frame?"
As they walked, Shen Qinghan suddenly asked.
"I've been doing this for almost half a year."
Lin Zichen lied without blinking.
With his extraordinary wisdom, he completed the specimen photo frame in less than a week.
And during the week of production, he only spent one hour on it every day.
However, it’s better for me to know about this kind of thing myself.
There's no need to say it.
Saying it only took a week to make it would seem like you were not serious.
Shen Qinghan might feel disappointed after hearing this.
The evening breeze is gentle.
It feels very comfortable blowing on the face.
After walking for a while, they saw two low parallel bars in front of them, so they sat on them and chatted.
Shen Qinghan swung her legs leisurely while speaking in a sweet voice:
"When I get back, I'm going to hang that specimen photo frame in my room so I can see the flowers you gave me every day."
"When I get back, I'll hang the watercolor you gave me in my room."
As he said this, Lin Zichen's gaze unconsciously fell on Shen Qinghan beside him, and he looked her up and down.
Her height has reached 1.68 meters, her slender and straight legs have become much longer, and her originally inconspicuous front and back parts have become rounder and fuller, looking graceful and particularly attractive.
As for the facial features, they are still small and delicate, but more three-dimensional and distinct than before.
Especially those watery peach blossom eyes, which used to look childish and cute, but now they are pure with a hint of maturity, and have a captivating charm.
Eighteen-year-old Shen Qinghan is becoming more and more charming.
She is more beautiful than those female celebrities on TV who wear heavy makeup and use beauty filters on their faces.
"Xiaochen, you've been staring at my face more and more often lately."
Noticing Lin Zichen's gaze, Shen Qinghan turned her head to look at him, smiling with her charming peach blossom eyes.
Now, when facing Lin Zichen's constant staring at her, she no longer feels embarrassed and shy as before.
Sometimes, they act more playful and cute, full of girlish quirkiness.
"No, it just feels like time has passed so quickly."
"In the blink of an eye, we have turned eighteen and grown up. Our appearance has matured a lot and we no longer have the childishness we had back then."
"Sometimes when I think about this, I want to look at your face now and compare it with the memory of you as a child."
Lin Zichen said with some emotion.
Shen Qinghan suddenly thought of a question and asked curiously, "Do you like me more as a child or as I am now?"
"I like them all."
Lin Zichen answered without thinking.
He didn't lie, he really liked them all.
I like the Shen Qinghan who loved to laugh and pee when he was a child, I like the Shen Qinghan who was self-deprecating, introverted, timid, and submissive in the past few years, and I like the Shen Qinghan who is much more lively and cheerful now.
No matter which period Shen Qinghan was in, she left a deep and beautiful memory in his heart.
Perhaps, this is the feeling that childhood sweethearts have when they grow up together.
Hearing Lin Zichen's answer, the smile on Shen Qinghan's pretty face became even sweeter. Her legs under her skirt swayed more briskly, and she hummed a song happily.
"What about you? Which do you like better, me as a child or me now?"
Lin Zichen asked the same question.
Shen Qinghan said without hesitation: "I like you at all times."
After saying that, she added, "If I had to say which period of you I like more, it would probably be you now."
"How do you say that?"
Lin Zichen was very curious.
Shen Qinghan looked into his eyes, her beautiful eyes slightly curved, and she smiled sweetly, "Because I like you more and more every day."
Lin Zichen was stunned for a moment.
After a moment of coming to his senses, he smiled and said, "Then I have to change my answer. I am just like you. I like you more and more every day. I hope our friendship will last forever."
"Well, friendship lasts forever."
After saying that, Shen Qinghan extended her slender white little finger towards Lin Zichen, and said in a voice full of nostalgia: "When we were little, we made a pinky promise every day that we would not change for a hundred years. Do you want to reminisce about it now?"
"Okay, let's savor it."
Lin Zichen also stretched out his little finger and hooked it with Shen Qinghan's little finger.
Just when the two were about to say "pink".
Suddenly, the ground shook!
Both people sitting on the parallel bars felt a noticeable vibration.
"Earthquake?"
Shen Qinghan looked surprised and confused.
Lin Zichen replied: "It seems like an earthquake."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed several text messages appearing in the void.
【You experienced an earthquake and successfully survived it】
[Achievement: Successfully survive 100 different "extremely harsh environments" or "disasters"]
[Reward: Obtain biological attribute - Survival of the fittest]
【Total number of survivals: 1/100】
The achievement task was actually triggered?
Lin Zichen opened his eyes wide, feeling a little surprised.
He really didn't expect that encountering an earthquake could trigger an achievement task. It was a bit sudden.
"Xiaochen, there really was an earthquake just now. Many people in my circle of friends were talking about it, and my classmates in the class group were also discussing it."
Shen Qinghan said while looking at the phone.
Lin Zichen was about to reply when his cell phone rang.
It was a video call from Zhang Wanxin.
As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Wanxin's worried voice came from the phone.
He said there had just been an earthquake and asked if the two were okay.
Lin Zichen turned the video screen to himself and Shen Qinghan, and told Zhang Wanxin that we are fine.
After confirming that both of them were safe, Zhang Wanxin breathed a sigh of relief and asked them to go home early and not hang out outside so late.
After the video call ends.
In order not to worry his parents, Lin Zichen did not stay outside for long and quickly took Shen Qinghan home.
When I got home, news about the earthquake was being reported on TV.
The speed of this report is astonishing.
Lin Zichen sat down on the sofa and watched the news with his parents.
Relevant departments explained that this was just a normal small earthquake and there was no big problem. They said that the surface location of Shanhai City was not at the junction of plates, so it was unlikely that a major earthquake would occur, so the public did not need to panic.
…
Underground of Shanhai City.
Twenty thousand meters deep.
The temperature here has exceeded three digits, and in some geologically unique locations, the temperature has even exceeded four digits, which can cook any ordinary creature on the surface.
However, even in such an extremely harsh environment, there are hundreds of special giant rats that are resistant to high temperatures and high pressures digging holes at high intensity.
The ground, which was originally extremely solid, had been dug into an anthill by them at some point.
At first glance, there are caves crisscrossing each other.
