Reborn One Week Before the Apocalypse

Chapter 325: Chapter 315: Official Couple

Tang Mo turned her head and saw the looks on their faces...

"Are you going to learn or not? If not, let’s just call it a day."

’Weren’t you the one busy flirting?’ they all thought. ’And now you’re blaming us?’

But they could only think this to themselves; no one dared to say it out loud.

Seeing that Tang Mo was getting busy, Qin Ling quickly made himself scarce. After all, so many people were still freezing outside. Every person who learned how to create a Protective Shield meant another family could survive.

Since Momo had acknowledged him, Qin Ling naturally went over to the area Tang Mo had set aside for her family.

"Ma’am, hello."

Qin Ling’s attitude toward Lin Yi was completely different from how he usually treated Wen Jianshu. It was worth noting that Qin Ling always called Wen Jianshu by his full name and never wore such a gentle smile.

"Hello, hello. You’re Momo’s university classmate, right? I just found out today. If I had known earlier, I would have invited you over for dinner long ago."

This was Lin Yi’s first time interacting with Qin Ling. Seeing how well-behaved and polite the boy was, she assumed the rumors about him had been greatly exaggerated.

Little did she know that the well-behaved little boy before her had another side to him.

It was also Wen Jianshu’s first time seeing Qin Ling act like this. Beyond his shock, he couldn’t help but think, ’Our Momo really is amazing. For someone like Qin Ling to turn into such a little lamb for her... it’s frankly a bit creepy.’

"Ma’am, let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Ling. I was Tang Mo’s university classmate, and I’m also Momo’s boyfriend."

Tang Mo leaning against him just now seemed to have given Qin Ling some kind of signal. Naturally, he wasn’t going to waste this opportunity. He rushed to make it public before Momo could change her mind.

This was only because the ID Watches had no signal; otherwise, he would have been ready to post a news update to officially announce their relationship.

Because of the crowd between them, Lin Yi hadn’t seen the little interaction between Qin Ling and Tang Mo. Now, hearing Qin Ling say this, she was so stunned she was momentarily speechless.

’The news is too shocking,’ she thought. ’I need a moment to process it...’

Qin Ling wasn’t surprised by his future mother-in-law’s reaction. He had been prepared for this situation since the day he got together with Tang Mo.

Yangyang, on the other hand, wasn’t shy at all. Despite it being his first time meeting Qin Ling, he took an immediate liking to this big brother.

From Wen Jianshu’s arms, he reached out his little hands, fussing to be held by his "big brother."

Qin Ling certainly wasn’t going to pass up such an opportunity to quickly integrate himself into Tang Mo’s family. He took Yangyang in his arms and pulled out lots of tasty treats and fun toys from his Space Treasure, making Yangyang grin from ear to ear.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi had also processed the news. They were of a suitable age, had a foundation as university classmates, and were equals in both looks and strength. What was there for her to be dissatisfied about?

Thinking about it another way, besides Qin Ling, she really couldn’t think of anyone else who was worthy of her daughter.

Ever since she accepted this reality, Lin Yi’s view of Qin Ling transformed into that of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law—the more she looked, the more she liked him. Seeing how close Yangyang was with his "brother-in-law" made her even more satisfied with Qin Ling.

But while things were warm and cheerful on this side, a gloomy cloud hung over Wen Jianshu.

His daughter was already about to run off with this punk, and now even his wife and son were so pleased with Qin Ling. He stood all alone to the side, looking rather miserable and pitiful.

It’s not easy being a middle-aged man. Wen Jianshu sat dejectedly to the side, his vat of vinegar on the verge of tipping over.

Fortunately, Lin Yu’s little sister, Xianxian, was still nearby. Seeing that "Uncle" looked a bit sad, the considerate little girl patted Wen Jianshu’s hand.

’Xianxian is the best,’ Wen Jianshu thought, deeply moved by the moment of warmth.

"Xianxian, between me and Big Brother Qin Ling, you like me more, right?"

During the days Tang Mo wasn’t home, Xiao Tao and Lin Yu had been frequent visitors to the Wen Family, so Xianxian was naturally very familiar with Wen Jianshu and Lin Yi.

"I like Big Brother Qin Ling."

You can never guess what a girl is thinking. Who would have known that the person comforting you right now actually preferred the other "big brother" in her heart?

Wen Jianshu’s heart ached with even more misery.

"Big Brother Qin Ling is more handsome."

Another critical hit.

’Alright, I get it,’ Wen Jianshu thought. ’Just let me be alone.’

As more and more Spiritual Ability Users learned to create the Protective Shields, the line of people waiting outside grew shorter and shorter.

By the time Tang Mo had finally taught every Spiritual Ability User in line, the queue outside had finally disappeared.

Countless Spiritual Light Rings of varying sizes sprang up around Tang Mo’s enormous golden one. Inside them were small groups, formed based on family, friendship, or mutual interest, all maintaining their own pockets of warmth in an orderly fashion amidst the blizzard.

After an unknown amount of time, the earthquake stopped. All that remained were endless ruins and rubble; not a single building was left standing.

The blizzard also gradually subsided, with the snow level settling at just above a person’s knees.

The temperature seemed to have stabilized as well. At over fifty degrees below zero, the Earth had already become a place unsuitable for human habitation.

When Tang Mo returned to her family’s area, she found Qin Ling and Yangyang playing happily together. Lin Yi was watching them with a doting mother’s smile, while Wen Jianshu and Xianxian sat off to the side, staring silently at the sky together.

"Momo, you and Xiao Qin have been together for so long, why didn’t you tell me? If Xiao Qin hadn’t told me today, I would still be in the dark! This is a good thing! I approve wholeheartedly."

Seeing Momo return, Lin Yi pulled Tang Mo aside to talk. In just that short while, Qin Ling had already been promoted to "son-in-law Xiao Qin" in Lin Yi’s mind.

Tang Mo knew it was trouble the moment her mom pulled her over. After hearing what Lin Yi said, she immediately understood what had happened.

"QIN LING!!!"

Tang Mo’s furious voice echoed in 3D surround sound within the Protective Shield. For a moment, everyone heard the roar and paused what they were doing.

"I’m right here, darling."

Qin Ling wasn’t flustered at all; in fact, he answered loudly.

Hearing Qin Ling’s response, everyone understood and went back to what they were doing.

So, it was just a lovers’ quarrel. Even with the Hell Era upon them, their relationship was still so passionate. As expected of the number one and two powerhouses on the leaderboard.

This must be what a fairy-tale romance looks like.

At that moment, Qin Ling’s wish was finally granted. He and Tang Mo had become the officially recognized couple in everyone’s eyes.

As for Momo’s wrath...

Qin Ling silently hugged Yangyang, who was in his arms, a little tighter.

He had to hold on tight to this Amulet. Otherwise, his ability to take a beating wouldn’t be able to keep up with the growth of Tang Mo’s strength.

"Don’t be mean, big sister. You’re scaring big brother."

In just a short time, Yangyang’s loyalty had already shifted to the "big brother" Qin Ling who gave him tasty treats and fun toys. He hugged Qin Ling and started speaking up for him against Tang Mo.

"Good boy, Yangyang. But don’t call me big brother. Call me brother-in-law, okay?"

Qin Ling continued to coax Yangyang.

"Okay! Brother-in-law brother!"

Seeing this, Tang Mo flew into a rage. She stormed over to Qin Ling, sat down, and her hand found the soft underside of his arm and started pinching.

"AHH!!"

Qin Ling’s scream echoed, and Wen Jianshu’s heart was finally at peace.

’We’re both henpecked husbands, after all,’ he thought. ’Why rush to torment your own kind?’
