Lin Man was crunching a crisp, sweet and sour peach while watching a martial arts movie online. Hearing this, he was stunned: "What are you thinking?"
Chen Yu looked at her daughter, who seemed to have grown only in hair and not in heart in recent years, and said helplessly, "You're 23 years old now, not 17 or 18 anymore. You should have plans for the future."
"Our plan for the future is to develop the Peace Base. We just formulated a new five-year plan a few days ago."
Chen Yu was silent for a moment: "I mean you personally."
"Personally..." Lin Man's chewing slowed down, and he paused the video. "I don't have any ideas. I'll just read more books and learn more. I've thought about it. I'm not good at management. I need to find a career I like."
"Don't interrupt, you know what I'm talking about."
Come on, come on, why does your tone sound the same as those matchmakers?
Lin Man said helplessly, "Mom, why are you just like everyone else? Look at me, I have a secret like space, and now the space is getting bigger and bigger. Who knows what it will become in the future? How can I let others know? And my current conditions, I'm not bragging, look at how awesome your daughter is. She's the chief, can make supernatural weapons, is as strong as an ox, and is beautiful. Even if she's looking for a partner, she has to find someone who matches her, right? She has to have social status, a skill, some strength, or at least be able to withstand a beating, and good looks, right? But if you look around, the better boys are just playing soy sauce. I can't find anyone even if I want to."
She said this in one breath and started to crunch the peach again.
Chen Yu glanced at her and said, "If you don't want to look for them, that's fine. If you can't find them, that's not a big deal. Look at those infected people. Oh, they are no longer infected now. They are quite good. Many of them meet the requirements you mentioned."
Lin Man's mind flashed through the faces of those people, and he quickly said, "Oh, no, no, I can't imagine it."
"What about Lin Cheng?"
Lin Man was almost choked to death by the peach.
As if he wasn't afraid of scaring his daughter to death, Chen Yu continued, "Lin Cheng not only meets the conditions you mentioned, but he also knew about the existence of the space a long time ago. You don't have to worry about leaks."
Lin Man finally caught his breath and said in shock, "Mom, why did you suddenly think of Lin Cheng? What does this have to do with him?"
Chen Yu said quietly, "Suddenly?"
Well, Lin Man thought about how over the years, she and Lin Cheng were not "close", but lived together like a family. Then she thought about it, they were both single and so close, so it was no wonder that her mother had such an association.
She waved her hand: "It's none of his business. He and I are just friends. I never thought about it that way."
"Really?"
Lin Man paused and thought about it carefully. It was indeed not the case, but for some reason he felt a little unconfident to answer this question.
Chen Yu looked a little regretful: "That's such a pity." She looked like she had lost a very satisfactory son-in-law. Lin Man felt strange: "Mom, you seem to be very satisfied with Lin Cheng."
Chen Yu said, "This child has good conditions and good character, and most importantly, he gets along well with you... Forget it, I won't say much if you don't have any ideas."
To be honest, even if Lin Man had always been single and had no one to worry about, as a mother, she always wanted the best for her and a better life. Lin Man had never made any friends since she was a child, and apart from her parents, she had never been close to or trusted anyone. Yet, she and Lin Cheng had gotten along very well over the years.
If Lin Man had the possibility of starting a family with someone in the future, she didn't think her daughter would look down on anyone else; and from a mother's perspective of choosing a son-in-law, no one was more suitable than Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng's previous condition was nothing to worry about, but now he was free of any hidden dangers. Lin Zhongrong also said that he was different from ordinary zombie kings and did not carry any viruses, just like an ordinary person. Moreover, as an observer, she always felt that there was something between the two of them.
Could it be that she saw it wrongly or thought too much?
It's true that we get along well, Lin Man thought secretly in his heart, and casually comforted him: "Even if he can't be your son-in-law, he is not an outsider. He and my dad have the relationship of adoptive father and son. You don't have to regret it. In the past few years, we have lived like a family."
Chen Yu was speechless with this naive girl and said directly, "If you don't have any feelings for him, don't get so close to him. This will prevent him from misunderstanding others and delay his search for a partner."
Lin Man was stunned. Why did the style of her mother suddenly change to that of her mother-in-law?
She whispered, "Why do you all keep urging people to find a partner? Not everyone needs to find a partner when they reach that age. He...has never shown any desire to do so."
"Just because you're not together now doesn't mean you won't be together in the future. You're not boyfriend and girlfriend, and you're not related by blood. Is it appropriate to stay this close?"
Lin Man remained silent, but what he was thinking was that he had to get closer, unless one of them gave up the space. But now the speed in the space was four times that of the outside. If he didn't enter the space at night, it would be dawn after a good sleep. But if he entered the space, it would be equivalent to two more days, and the aging of the person would not be accelerated in the space. Lin Man felt that not entering the space was a waste of life.
She nibbled on the peach absentmindedly, and found it less palatable.
She thought for a while, put on her shoes and ran to find Lin Cheng.
Then I realized that it was useless to look for it after I found it. The one using Lin Cheng's body today was Guan Guan.
She watched from afar as the guy carrying Lin Cheng's body walked back and forth in the open space with a serious look on his face, supervising in a very professional manner.
This is the construction site of a primary school. Since the first batch of children are about to reach primary school age, the base decided to build a primary school. There was no need for Lin Cheng to come and supervise it himself, but Guan Guan was very curious about it and loved to watch the fun here, saying that he was experiencing life as a human being.
Fortunately, this guy never got caught, but it was hard for the construction workers because they were terrified to work because of the presence of this big guy.
Guan Guan saw Lin Man and came over happily, putting his arm around her shoulders: "Why are you here?"
Guan Guan had a lot of little movements, and he didn't sit or stand properly in private. At first, Lin Man couldn't adapt to him doing these things while pressing against Lin Cheng, and thought it was eccentric and eye-catching. After a while, he got used to it, but at this moment, he found that many people were secretly looking at him with weird smiles on their faces.
She hadn't taken it seriously in the past, but after hearing what Chen Yu said, she remembered that after Lin Cheng settled in the Peace Base, people started looking at her and Lin Cheng differently. Some of the older and closer people would even tease them a little, as if... they thought they were a couple.
Lin Man was a little embarrassed and slapped Guan Guan's hand away: "You didn't get caught today, did you?"
"Of course not. Am I such a careless person?" Guan Guan rolled his eyes and whispered, "But I'm a little fed up. Let's stop here for today." After saying that, he put his arm on her again. Lin Man felt her shoulders sink. The person next to her leaned towards her and swayed. When she opened her eyes again, the look returned to the one Lin Man was most familiar with, still close at hand, deep and quiet. Lin Man didn't know why, but her heart felt like it was burned.
I always feel that after listening to what her mother said, there is something wrong with me.
Lin Cheng: “…”
Lin Cheng looked around, realizing he'd been brought to the construction site again. He took off his silly hard hat and noticed the black spots between his fingernails. He didn't know if the silly bird had been digging in the dirt or scratching the wall with his hands. He washed his hands in a bucket and asked naturally, "What's the matter with you?"
Lin Man looked at him for a while and suddenly said, "Lin Cheng, your life must be very inconvenient like this. It feels like you have a split personality." Because the two of them were familiar enough, and she knew that Lin Cheng would not be angry with her words, she spoke casually.
Lin Cheng was slightly startled, then smiled. "It's actually not that bad. Although we take turns each day, Guan Guan isn't very patient and rarely stays for a full day. Sometimes he returns my body to me after just a few hours, and he doesn't do anything strange, so it doesn't cause me any trouble." He washed his hands, stood up, and said, "Besides, there's also the space. I can definitely make up for the time I lost in the space."
He really didn't think it was a big deal, at least it was much better than what he had expected. Split personality could have split into a perverted, violent, and troublesome personality. Guan Guan was actually very well-behaved and easy to talk to.
