Lin Qiao heard the door knocks when she was still in the water and sensed Lin Hao’s scent. She had no idea why he came to see her, but still came out of the tub, grabbed a bathrobe from her space, and put it on. She emptied the tub and then walked out of the bathroom to answer the door.

“What?” Before opening the door, Lin Qiao glanced at the bed which was messy before. It had been tidied up.

“Em…” Lin Hao looked into the room, then turned his eyes back to Lin Qiao, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.

Lin Qiao thought for a moment, then walked out of Wu Chengyue’s room. The room was filled with a strong scent, and she could use some fresh air.

“Follow me!” Lin Qiao walked out of the room and closed the door, then dragged Lin Hao a few steps forward before bringing him into the space. The two of them soon showed up on the clearing before Lin Qiao’s house.

“Tell me.” While speaking, Lin Qiao looked at the field before the house. A few level-four zombies were taking care of the crops, and Mrs. Lin was one of them.

Lin Hao looked around. He had seen Mrs. Lin too. He didn’t ask any question about his mother, but said to Lin Qiao, “What’s going on with Wu Chengyue? Has he figured out who you really are?”

“He told you that?” Lin Qiao turned and looked at him with surprise.

Lin Hao shook his head and said, “He didn’t tell me directly, but didn’t deny it either. I tried to ask him about it. He seems to know it already.”

“I see… So, he has admitted it to you,” Lin Qiao pressed her lips together.

“Aren’t you surprised?” Lin Hao stared at her, “Are you expecting him to believe you? Aren’t you afraid that he might want to cut you open and find out what exactly has happened to you…”

Lin Qiao gave him a glare and said, “Even if he does have that kind of intent, he might not be strong enough to actually make it happen. Also, don’t think that everyone is as crazy about science as you are.”

“Normally, it’s hard for people to believe in something like that,” Lin Hao said with a slight frown, “How are you going to explain it with science? Now, he knows it. Isn’t he a little too not-surprised? Is he planning on something secretly?”

In terms of safety, Lin Hao believed it was dangerous for anyone to know about it. Some people might want to use that against Lin Qiao and her family.

The man was Wu Chengyue, but still, he wasn’t sure what the man would think after finding out the truth. No one could read his mind. It seemed that he really liked Lin Qiao, but who knew if he would change his mind because of the truth that he just found out?

Perhaps, he never liked Lin Qiao’s soul. All he liked might only be Lu Tianyu’s body.

“I know what you’re worried about. But, I believe him,” Lin Qiao looked at Lin Hao smilingly. If what Wu Chengyue liked was only her body or Lu Tianyu’s face, she would, of course, not respond to him.

But last night, he called her Chief Lin. Clearly, he sincerely liked the entire her and not only her body and face. Besides, she was able to see through almost everyone and read their minds. She could accurately sense people’s feelings and thoughts toward her.

Normally, she wasn’t able to read Wu Chengyue’s mind. However, she could feel his feelings and hear his thoughts while making love with him. If she didn’t feel how sincerely and persistently he loved her, she would not be swayed by his love.

“How come you now believe him so firmly! I think you’ve already lost…” Lin Hao looked at her and said with pity. He thought for a moment and then continued, “Oh no, you’re still the winner! He’s the one who lost first if he truly loves you and is not coming after you merely for the two kids.”

“I can feel his feelings,” said Lin Qiao determinedly, “If he stops loving me one day, I’ll let him go. Don’t worry. I, your sister, am not a weak person, alright?”

Hearing that, Lin Hao had no choice but to stop talking.

“Mom is here,” Lin Qiao blinked and said to him.

Lin Hao followed her eyes and saw Mrs. Lin come over, carrying a basket. She stopped moving three meters away and looked at Lin Hao with both surprise and confusion, then turned to Lin Qiao questioningly.

Lin Qiao walked to her side and nodded, “Yes, he is Lin Hao.” Then, she said to Lin Hao, “Mom asked me why you look so much older than before…”

Lin Hao didn’t know what to say, so Lin Qiao explained to him, “Mom only remembers the things from years ago. She hasn’t restored her memory of recent years. I guess she now feels as if she hasn’t seen you for years.”

Lin Hao nodded and made a few steps toward Mrs. Lin. The latter quickly stepped backward, also raising a hand to push him.

Lin Qiao looked at Lin Hao and said, “Don’t come too close to her. You’re a human being. Your scent will arouse her appetite.”

Hearing this, Lin Hao quickly stepped back and asked her, “Will Mom be able to recollect all her memories?”

“Yes,” said Lin Qiao, “Haven’t the others restored their memories slowly?”

Lin Hao sighed with relief on realizing that. Meanwhile, Lin Qiao took over the basket from Mrs. Lin’s hands. In the basket were some beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

“We need to leave. We’re going back to our base today,” Lin Qiao said to Mrs. Lin, then walked back to Lin Hao with the basket and brought him out.

Wu Chengyue went downstairs and saw the kids sitting on the couch, playing in different ways. But…

“Where’s Teng?” He looked around but didn’t see his son, who had just turned a month old.

“Daddy said that he’s out playing with Uncle Lu,” Lin Xiaolu politely answered the question.

Hearing that, Wu Chengyue blinked and then nodded smilingly, “Oh, is he?”

At that moment, Cheng Wangxue came out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of stir-fried dried carrot. Seeing Wu Chengyue, she smiled apologetically and said, “Sorry, I took the liberty to use your kitchen. I thought you wouldn’t get up so early.”

While speaking, she looked at Wu Chengyue in a meaningful way.

“Hehe… It’s okay… You can use my kitchen,” said Wu Chengyue. How could he possibly tell her that he was fine even though he didn’t get any sleep last night?

“Oh, Lin Feng has left. He said he has work to do,” Cheng Wangxue added, then turned to the kids and said, “Xiaolu, bring your little friends over for breakfast.”

“Alright,” Lin Xiaolu responded immediately, then held the hands of Wu Yueling and Tongtong and brought them to the dining room.
