"But if I move in, there’s no place for me to sleep!" Qin Lan looked at Chen Xin. After this morning’s little incident, it seemed that Qin Lan was reassessing the place Chen Xin held in her heart. Regarding Qin Lan’s question, Chen Xin just laughed and said, "If you really want to move here, of course I can find you a place to stay. And at worst, you can share the bed with me, can’t you? My bed may not be very big, but it’s perfectly fine for two people." "What about your parents? Didn’t you say you wanted to bring uncle and aunt back?" Qin Lan asked Chen Xin a very crucial question. The two of them talked about squeezing together in one bed. Clearly, if Chen Xin’s parents returned, it wouldn’t be possible for four people to squeeze together. Not to mention, the bed wouldn’t fit. "As for that problem, I can expand the shelter!" Chen Xin laughed. With the system as support, Chen Xin truly didn’t have to worry about where others would sleep after the population increased. Moreover, the question of whether others would notice any issues after he upgrades, if there were other people in the shelter, Chen Xin had already checked with the system last night. The system provided the answer that others would reasonably assume it was your labor’s result. In other words, if Qin Lan and Chen Xin both lived in the shelter, and Chen Xin upgrades the shelter or other things, Qin Lan would overlook everything just as she did during the system’s dismantle yesterday. As for the differences caused by the upgrade, she’d rationalize them as Chen Xin making improvements in a way she deemed reasonable. As for when the population grows, the concept of informational state blurriness attached to the system upgrade would affect everyone’s memory, allowing them to "reach a consensus." So now Chen Xin isn’t worried that his secret would be exposed after more people join the shelter. After hearing Chen Xin say this, Qin Lan was somewhat tempted in her heart but bit her lip and gave up the idea. Moving in to live with Chen Xin is certainly possible, but she still couldn’t convince herself to resign at this point. "You don’t have to do this, I’ve been living alone, and it’s really fine." Chen Xin saw the hesitation on Qin Lan’s face but didn’t try to persuade her to move in together at the moment: "I’ve gotten used to living alone, but you’re different, A Lan, there’s really no need to move. And even if you do move, what about your work with the SWAT team? Can you really resign at this time?" Upon hearing Chen Xin’s statement, Qin Lan could only lower her head. However, she quickly lifted her head and asked Chen Xin, "So, is everything okay with you now?" "Everything’s fine. Yesterday was just a special situation. After your treatment last night, I’m already fine." Chen Xin intentionally referred to what happened last night as a treatment and smiled at Qin Lan. Upon hearing what Chen Xin said, Qin Lan couldn’t help but blush slightly. After a moment of silence, Qin Lan seemed to make some decision and said to Chen Xin, "Since the treatment is effective, every month when I deliver things to you, I will ’treat’ you. Once a month; you need to consolidate the treatment." Although Qin Lan’s words sounded quite normal, Chen Xin couldn’t help but grin mischievously. "Once a month? Looks like I need to expand the bathroom and get a bathtub." Chen Xin touched his mouth, trying not to smile so sleazily: "That way, you can come for a hot spring bath, A Lan. I remember I invited you several times before for a hot spring bath, and now I can finally fulfill that wish." Chen Xin’s words made Qin Lan recall the past, and she couldn’t help but feel sentimental: "At that time, I was too focused on work. Whenever you invited me, I agreed eagerly, but every time an assignment came up on short notice, that hot spring, I’ve been saying I would go for three years but haven’t managed." "Now I have underground hot water here. Next time you come, I will get the bathtub ready so we can have a hot spring bath." Chen Xin looked at Qin Lan and made a promise. Regarding Chen Xin’s promise, Qin Lan couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Didn’t you say this might just be temporary, A Xin? Aren’t you worried that once you prepare the bathtub, the underground water might turn cold again?" "Then I’d just use it for a hot bath! After all, it’s the same underground water, only one is hot and the other is cold." Of course, a hot spring is not just simple underground water, but Chen Xin was too lazy to differentiate it. Under the current circumstances, being able to bathe is already a luxury, not to mention a hot spring. Naturally, Qin Lan wouldn’t insist on needing a hot spring, nodding to signify acceptance of the matter.fr\eewe.bn(o)v\el.c(o)m Picking up the cup from the table, she drank some hot water and felt her body warming up. Only then did Qin Lan ask Chen Xin, "By the way, A Xin, are the geothermal heat pumps you installed easy to set up? You might need to visit the city." "On-site installation?" Chen Xin was taken aback. He hadn’t anticipated Qin Lan mentioning this issue. Concerning the installation of geothermal heat pumps, Chen Xin naturally understood that the main part of the equipment isn’t difficult to install; one simply needs to drill holes into the ground and secure it with bolts, not too different from an air conditioner’s external unit. The critical issue is the piping. Besides the water piping, geothermal heat pump equipment includes underground intake pipes and heat exchanger parts. Normally, these parts require underground construction. The one in Chen Xin’s shelter is installed via system functionality. Can this functionality be used outside the shelter?fr\eewe.bn(o)v\el.c(o)m Originally, Chen Xin planned to acquire a drill bit from the SWAT team through Qin Lan for others’ installation, using it to drill holes in the ground, fit the pipes, and then upgrade the equipment to realize the underground piping part. But with the system now offering a more convenient installation method, is the drill still necessary? While pondering these questions, the system emerged to assert its presence. Looking at the words appearing before him, Chen Xin nod with reassurance and said to Qin Lan, "Since I sold the equipment, I’m definitely responsible for the after-sales installation." "Mm, then you might need to stay a few days to ensure the equipment functions properly," Qin Lan’s first part was business, but the later part suddenly changed tone: "Then you can stay at my place; the City Bureau’s shelter is converted from an old air-raid shelter and might not have many rooms... But don’t worry, I have the room all to myself, and the bed is quite spacious for two..." Before Qin Lan finished her sentence, Chen Xin grabbed her hand, watched her face blush, leaned closer, and whispered softly in her ear, "I’m only concerned about the soundproofing in your room. If someone hears you too loud, then you might really have to move in."
