Evolving infinitely from ground zero

“Origin Land?”

Shen Qinghan expressed her confusion, “What place is that?”

Lin Zichen had not heard of it either, so he chose to open the browser and seek help from Qian Du Bai Ke.

But after searching, he found nothing, with no results for a place called Origin Land.

If the answer couldn’t be found online, the only option was to ask Yuan Dongzhi.

Thinking this, Lin Zichen said to Shen Qinghan, “Ask her what Origin Land is.”

Shen Qinghan obediently went to ask.

This time, Yuan Dongzhi replied quickly.

However, the content of the reply was not satisfactory.

Yuan Dongzhi said that once they started university and had some strength, they would naturally learn about Origin Land, and there was no need to know about it now.

Lin Zichen was very curious and not ready to give up, intending to let Shen Qinghan continue asking.

But then he thought about it and considering that doing so might irritate Yuan Dongzhi and be bad for Shen Qinghan, he did not ask her to continue.

After ending the topic about Origin Land, the two sat on the bed and each played with their phones.

Not long after playing, Shen Qinghan hesitated for a moment, put down her phone, and looked at Lin Zichen to ask, “Xiao Chen, do all men like women who wear qipaos?”

“Depends on the person.”

Lin Zichen answered calmly.

Inside, however, he felt a bit embarrassed.

He knew she must have noticed him sneaking peeks at Yuan Dongzhi’s butt and legs on their way to the cafeteria at the base—his masculine behavior.

“Do you like qipaos?”

Shen Qinghan did not allow for any evasion and directly cut to the chase, asking Lin Zichen this question.

Lin Zichen honestly replied, “I do.”

Without saying a word, Shen Qinghan just nodded, then quietly opened a shopping website, searched for “blue and white porcelain qipao,” and without a second thought, placed an order for one.

[81% of buyers who purchased a qipao also bought silk stockings]

After placing her order, Shen Qinghan noticed a product recommendation section at the bottom suggesting silk stockings.

There were many styles available—black, white, flesh-colored, fishnet, and other types.

Boys must all really like silk stockings, right?

With this stereotype in mind, Shen Qinghan’s face turned slightly red as she asked, “What about… silk stockings?”

“Like them too.”

Lin Zichen remained as straightforward as ever.

So he really likes them… Continually delving into the topic, Shen Qinghan’s cheeks grew redder as she asked, “There are many types of silk stockings, like black, white, flesh-colored; which kind do you prefer?”

“Wait, why are you suddenly asking so many bizarre questions?” Lin Zichen, sensing something was off, looked up at Shen Qinghan and counter-questioned.

“No reason, just suddenly got curious and wanted to ask.”

After saying this, Shen Qinghan once again asked, “So, which style of silk stockings do you prefer?”

Lin Zichen answered, “Black or white, I guess.”

With that answer, Shen Qinghan silently placed an order for two pairs of both black and white stockings.

At this moment, the room door was knocked. Then Zhang Wanxin’s voice came from outside, “Han Han, your mom has brought you some personal care items, open the door and take them.”

“Ah?”

Shen Qinghan was momentarily startled.

Upon realizing what was happening, she quickly got out of bed to open the door.

Outside, Zhang Wanxin was smiling as she handed Shen Qinghan a bag filled with toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, clothes, and diapers.

“You two have finished your college entrance exams, so it’s fine to stay up late and sleep in. If you have anything to talk about, you can have a good chat tonight. Alright, I’ll leave you two to talk, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

After leaving these words and a meaningful glance, Zhang Wanxin quickly closed the door, leaving ample private space for the two of them.

“Um… I didn’t ask my mom to bring these, she did it on her own initiative.”

Shen Qinghan said while holding the bag and turned to Lin Zichen to explain.

Lin Zichen said, “It’s fine, she’s already brought them, so you might as well sleep here tonight.”

Shen Qinghan murmured a faint “mm-hmm” in reply.

Afterward, she opened the bag to check if all the daily necessities were there, especially the most important diapers.

Although her body was much more normal now and she hardly wet the bed anymore, she had to wear the diapers just in case luck wasn’t on her side and she wet Lin Zichen’s bed.

She used to wet Lin Zichen’s bed all the time as a child, but now that she was grown up, that just couldn’t happen again.

“Huh, what’s this?”

Shen Qinghan suddenly pulled out a small pink packet from her bag, which looked like some sort of snack.

Lin Zichen glanced over at the sound and, the next second, his expression became extremely unnatural.

At that moment, Shen Qinghan also saw the line of small print on the packet—Ultra-thin Natural Latex Rubber XX Sleeves, her entire face flushed red immediately, and she hurriedly threw the little packet back into the bag.

Then, the atmosphere in the room fell into an awkward silence, but both of them tacitly acted as if nothing had happened.

“I’m going to put on a diaper.”

Unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, Shen Qinghan picked up the diaper and left the room.

About ten plus minutes later, she returned with a diaper on.

“It’s 11 o’clock already, you got a lot of blood drawn today, your body needs to recover, go to sleep early and rest.”

“Yeah.”

The two exchanged a few words awkwardly, then quickly turned off the lights and went to bed, avoiding the lingering awkwardness in the room.

During the night, Lin Zichen fell asleep, but Shen Qinghan was still awake.

At this moment, her mind was filled with thoughts about that small packet in the bag, irritatingly restless and too agitated to sleep.

She tossed and turned, and finally turned over to face Lin Zichen sleeping beside her, looking at the face that had her smitten day and night, she suddenly had the urge to stealthily kiss him.

But she gave up as soon as she considered it.

Rather than a one-sided stolen kiss, she preferred to have a mutual kiss when they were both willing.

A few days later.

The college entrance exam results were released.

Only the cutoff scores and how many made it into the top schools were announced.

As usual, the scores of the top ten within the province were concealed; nobody knew who the top scorer was, or who the second or third places were.

However, admission office staff from various universities were obviously an exception.

On the second day after the results were released.

The recruitment officers from Kyoto University and Shanhai University visited Lin Zichen’s home in turn, offering various benefits to persuade him to enroll at their schools.

Because Shen Qinghan had already decided to study at Shanhai University, Lin Zichen didn’t think twice and immediately chose Shanhai University.

This university was close to home, and his childhood sweetheart was there, leaving no reason not to choose it.

After seeing off the recruitment officer from Shanhai University.

Lin Zichen rolled out his bicycle from home to take Shen Qinghan to He Yu’s martial arts gym.

Both had signed endorsement deals with He Yu’s gym, and today they were going there to engage in a promotional event.

They decided not to use the notoriety of being the top exam scorers for the promotion; that would be too conspicuous.

They only marketed themselves as having been accepted into the top two schools.

Apart from them, Li Chuxin, who was also accepted into the top schools, had signed with He Yu’s gym as well.

They had all signed on as a favor to group members.

“Hey, I’m going to start cycling, stop looking at your phone, hold on tight.”

Seeing Shen Qinghan holding her phone and typing in the back seat, Lin Zichen reminded her.

At his words, Shen Qinghan put away her phone, skillfully wrapped her arms around his waist, and sweetly smiled, “I’m holding on tight already, let’s go!”

Lin Zichen steadied the handlebars and lightly pushed on the pedal, and they quickly sped off.

But they hadn’t gone far when a group of burly men blocked their path.

One of them, a middle-aged man with a Taoist priest hairstyle, approached him with a polite smile and asked, “Hello, are you Lin Zichen?”

“And you are?”

The middle-aged man with the Taoist hairstyle replied with a smile, “Let me introduce myself, I am Liu Chuanwu, the Dean of the Martial Arts College at Shanhai University. I’m here today to discuss an enrollment matter with you.”

The Martial Arts College?

Lin Zichen was a bit confused and quickly said, “Your admission office from Shanhai University just visited, and I’ve already decided to enroll in your Evolution College.”

The middle-aged man with the Taoist hairstyle said, “I am not here on behalf of Shanhai University today, but to invite you to join us at Tianren Pavilion.”

Tianren Pavilion?

Lin Zichen felt it sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

After thinking for a moment, he quickly remembered.

Tianren Pavilion, that was a conservative organization frequently mentioned in news reports.

An organization that opposed Genetic Fusion.
