Chapter 1396 Solitude breeds affection
“Plot No. 1?” Shen Mengyin suddenly realized, “That’s where you planted the first batch of saplings!”

Lin Hao said with a smile, "Yes, to be honest, I actually spend most of my time there!"

"The main reason is that I put a lot of effort into building that camp, so the conditions there are much better than here. That's why most of the data is there!"

"Really!" Shen Mengyin looked at Lin Hao in surprise, then stared with her adorable big eyes and said, "So, you have three burrows?"

Lin Hao tapped her forehead with his index finger, then said irritably, "What do you mean by 'a cunning rabbit has three burrows'? This is called being prepared for any eventuality!"

Seeing this, Shen Mengyin was secretly delighted. She deliberately rubbed her forehead and said in a pitiful tone, "Isn't it all the same thing?"

Then, as if realizing something, Shen Mengyin quickly said, "Hey, right, Brother Lin, since the information is over there, can you take me to take a look?"

"And let me see your backup base!" Shen Mengyin said playfully.

"Hmm~!" Lin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Let's skip it today. It's already afternoon, and it'll take quite a while to get there. How about tomorrow?"

"Okay, it's settled then!" Shen Mengyin was overjoyed when Lin Hao agreed to take her to the old camp's base.

Seeing Lin Hao's clothes and remembering Ji Xiurong's actions, she offered, "Brother Lin, give me your dirty clothes, I'll wash them for you!"

"This isn't quite right!" Lin Hao said, feigning modesty.

Shen Mengyin said with a smile, "What's wrong with that? I'm your assistant, washing clothes is nothing!"

"Why don't you wash here?" Lin Hao said, handing Shen Mengyin the clothes he had changed out of. Then he sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and started writing.

"Great!" Shen Mengyin was overjoyed to be alone in a room with Lin Hao, so she started washing Lin Hao's clothes and chatting with him casually.

Meanwhile, Yan Xiangli quickly packed his things, and under Ji Xiurong's questioning gaze, carrying a backpack, he followed Yu Zheng and the others away.

However, Ji Xiurong didn't think much of it, assuming that Yan Xiangli's bag contained local specialties or something sent home.

······
next day
While having breakfast, Lin Hao found Zhao Tianshan and said, "Old Zhao, I'm going to the old camp!"

"What are we going to the old camp for?" Zhao Tianshan asked, puzzled.

"Since Wu Yansheng is gone, Shen Mengyin wants to learn forestry management from me. All the materials are at the old camp!"

"I'm planning to take her to see a doctor, but I don't think I can come back today. I'm mainly worried about something unexpected happening tonight, so I plan to come back tomorrow!"

Zhao Tianshan hesitated for a moment. It seemed a bit inappropriate for Lin Hao and Shen Mengyin, a man and a woman, to go to the old camp alone.

But then something suddenly occurred to me, and my eyes lit up – it didn't seem like a bad idea after all!
When Lin Hao first came to Bashang, he was already 22 years old. Now he has been in Bashang for three years and is almost 26 years old, but he still hasn't solved his personal problems.

Shen Mengyin happens to be single, and they are both college students, so they seem to be a good match and it doesn't seem like it's impossible.

And just like that, without Lin Hao even making up any other excuses, Zhao Tianshan had already completed his self-conquest, looking at Shen Mengyin with a smile in his eyes, and then subconsciously said:

"No problem, it looks perfect!"

"What?" Lin Hao instantly understood Zhao Tianshan's idea, but still pretended to be confused and asked in return.

"I...it's nothing, I mean it's fine!" Zhao Tianshan said with a smile.
"With Wu Yansheng gone, we definitely need to find someone to learn forestry management and replace him!"

After reporting to Zhao Tianshan, Lin Hao took Shen Mengyin to Camp 1 to retrieve the documents.

After walking for more than an hour, Lin Hao did not take Shen Mengyin directly to the camp, but instead went to the surviving No. 1 forest.

"Wow!" Looking at the lush, green woodland, Shen Mengyin exclaimed with great emotion:

"Although this isn't the first time I've seen this woodland, every time I see its lush greenery, I feel incredibly excited!"

"It's as if I can see the vast forests and rolling waves of trees on Saihanba!" Shen Mengyin imagined the future scene.

Lin Hao then added, "When the time comes, we'll build a house on that hillside, facing the forest. When spring arrives and the flowers bloom, it will be a vibrant and thriving place..."

As they talked, the two sat down on the sand dune, looking at the forest and imagining a beautiful future environment.

Then Lin Hao led Shen Mengyin through the woods, explaining the hardships he had endured in planting the forest.

Their relationship quickly warmed up, and around noon, Shen Mengyin tripped and fell, looking like a little kitten.

So Lin Hao brought Shen Mengyin to the old camp so she could wash up.

At this time, Lin Hao's house in the old camp was no longer the same as before; it used to be completely shaped like a dugout.

In the past three years, Lin Hao has built a one-meter-high wall around the house, and with the wind and sand blocked by the woodland, he has also raised the dugout by more than one meter.

Therefore, when Lin Hao and Shen Mengyin entered the dugout, their first impression was that it was spacious, without any of the crampedness and oppression of the current camp.

"I love it here, it feels so spacious!" Sure enough, Shen Mengyin fell in love with the place at first sight.

The room was exceptionally bright, with several transparent tiles overhead and glass windows embedded in the walls, and it appeared to be double-layered.

Surprisingly, several potted plants were growing in the flowerpots next to the window, one of which was a rose.

Yes, this is definitely a rose. She had seen it in her hometown of Shanghai before, and then she couldn't help but go up and smell it.

"Brother Lin, is this a rose?"

"I guess so!" Lin Hao said with a smile. "Strictly speaking, this is called a rose!"

"Ah~!" Shen Mengyin was stunned for a moment, then said with certainty:
"Impossible. I used to see this all the time. It looks exactly like a rose. How could it be a hybrid tea rose?"

Lin Hao explained with a smile, "Rose, rose, and wild rose all belong to the genus Rosa in the family Rosaceae. In other words, rose and rose are actually subspecies of wild rose."

"Their key differences lie in their flowering period, flower shape, leaf characteristics, distribution of stem thorns, and fruit shape!"

"In English, both rose and rosehip are called 'Rose,' right? Abroad, they refer to the same thing: the wrinkled-leaf rose!"

"It's just that when translated into Chinese, it becomes two different things!" Lin Hao then explained the difference between them:
"Roses are typically used for food and essential oil production, not for ornamental purposes, while Chinese roses are primarily for ornamental purposes, not for consumption!"

"What you thought were roses were actually hybrid tea roses, so it's a romantic lie!"

Seeing Shen Mengyin's conflicted expression, Lin Hao smiled and said, "Actually, whether it's roses or Chinese roses, they are just a medium for conveying emotions between lovers, so there's no need to overthink it!"

The bookshelves were neatly arranged and filled with countless documents. The bed, chair, and desk were all in perfect order, incredibly clean and tidy, and brimming with knowledge.

All these signs indicate that Lin Hao is an extremely self-disciplined person, and such a learned and talented man is someone I absolutely cannot miss out on.

She then looked at Lin Hao with tender affection, perfectly embodying the gentle temperament of a southern girl.

"What's wrong?" Lin Hao asked, feigning confusion.

"Brother Lin!" Shen Mengyin said, stepping forward to hug Lin Hao. Then, looking up at him, she confessed her feelings tenderly:

"Brother Lin, I, I~!" Shen Mengyin said, burying her head in Lin Hao's chest, and said shyly, "I like you so much, I want to be your girlfriend!"

"Really?" Lin Hao looked at Shen Mengyin with surprise and delight, then whispered in her ear, "Me too!"

"It seems we're on the same wavelength. Actually, I developed feelings for you after you came to the dam!"

"Ah~!" Shen Mengyin exclaimed, then asked in confusion, "Then why didn't you come to me!"

Lin Hao smiled and said, "It was I who suggested to Director Yu that you become my assistant!"

"But later I saw that you were getting quite close to Wu Yansheng, so I didn't bother you!"

"Because I believe that loving someone is not about possessing them, but about making them happy. I'm not good at expressing my feelings, so~!" Lin Hao stopped there; if he continued, he would be lying.

Hearing Lin Hao's sweet words, Shen Mengyin couldn't hold back any longer and immediately regretted it. If she had known that Lin Hao was interested in her, they might have been together long ago.

At the same time, I also felt a little guilty, because I had been wavering in my heart and almost let her miss Lin Hao.

But now it's all right. No matter what, they've finally come together. So Shen Mengyin looked at Lin Hao, then tiptoed and kissed Lin Hao's lips.

Lin Hao chuckled, turned Shen Mengyin's body so that she was facing him, and then lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Their lips met, their tongues lingering and caressing each other. Shen Mengyin closed her eyes, immersing herself completely in the moment.

She wrapped her arms tightly around Lin Hao's neck, passionately responding to his kiss.

After a while, Lin Hao finally released her, looking at her flushed cheeks and moist lips with doting eyes, and said with a mischievous smile:

"Look at you, you look like a little kitten. There's a bathroom here, go take a shower!" Lin Hao said, opening the wardrobe door.

"Do you have a secret room here?" Shen Mengyin asked in surprise, but she didn't stop and followed Lin Hao straight into the underground house.

Lin Hao casually pressed a switch, and the living room lights came on, making the whole house as bright as day.

When Shen Mengyin saw the appearance of the underground house, she was immediately stunned by the scene inside.

"This, this, this~!"

Although the building is underground, its layout is exactly like a hotel, with a spacious lobby and an open-plan restaurant.

There are three bedrooms, a study, a walk-in closet, and even a bathroom and a toilet. If I hadn't just come down from upstairs, I would have thought I was back in Shanghai.

"This, did you repair this all by yourself?" Shen Mengyin was stunned and looked at Lin Hao in disbelief.

"So, do you like it?" Lin Hao said, turning on the gramophone and smiling as he spoke.

"I spent three years of my life decorating this place!"

Shen Mengyin's eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, and her face full of surprise as she said, "I love it! I love it so much!"

Strings of small colored lights hung from the ceiling, emitting a soft, warm yellow glow, like stars in the sky.

The gramophone in the room was playing soothing and gentle music, all of which felt familiar to her.

A faint floral fragrance filled the air, and the rose bush that had just been by the window above instantly brought the room to life.

Regardless of what Lin Hao said, to her it was a rose.
"Go take a shower, the toiletries in the bathroom are all ready!" Shen Mengyin nodded, as if she had thought of something, and her ears then turned hot.

Shen Mengyin then fled into the bathroom, gently closing the door behind her. She pressed her back against the cold door, raised her hand to cover her chest, and wore a sweet smile on her face.

Lin Hao's gaze just now was so gentle, so gentle that it reminded her of the quilts that had been sun-dried on the balcony at home, warm and cozy, making her want to sink into them.

She took a deep breath before daring to look around the bathroom. The walls were covered with beige tiles, and her bare feet were on the non-slip marble. A chill crept up her feet, but the hot water from the showerhead neutralized the cold she had brought in from outside.

The vanity was built-in, and the surface was so smooth that it reflected your image. A complete set of skincare products was neatly arranged on it, with frosted bottles printed with foreign languages ​​she didn't recognize, clearly indicating that it was a foreign brand.

I just don't know how Lin Hao got these things?
The mirror is surrounded by a ring of small lights. When you press a switch, the warm yellow light immediately turns on, giving the skin a hazy glow.

Shen Mengyin lifted the shower curtain, revealing a huge shower area with a high-end-looking showerhead overhead.

She took off her dirty clothes, turned on the hot water switch, and the warm water flowed from the showerhead. The familiar sensation as it hit her body instantly relaxed her tense body.

The water flowed down my hair, washing away the fatigue that had accumulated over the past few months.

She took out a bar of soap and started lathering it on her body. The fresh, herbal scent was very calming.

As she rubbed her body, she couldn't help but savor the deep kiss from earlier, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, even softening her movements as she rubbed the foam.

About half an hour later, Shen Mengyin finally turned off the shower, satisfied, and wrapped herself tightly in a towel.

The bath towel was very absorbent, and it felt warm and cozy wrapped around her body. At that moment, she felt that this place was more luxurious than her home, or even a hotel.

She was drying her hair in front of the mirror, water droplets dripping down the ends and landing on her collarbone, feeling cool and refreshing.

Shen Mengyin took a deep breath and gently opened the bathroom door.

Lin Hao, who had just finished preparing lunch, looked up when he heard the door open.

Having just taken a shower, Shen Mengyin looked as if she had been purified; her cheeks had a natural pink hue, and even her earlobes had a faint red tinge, making her incredibly alluring.

Shen Mengyin had just stepped across the threshold when she met Lin Hao's gaze, and the two locked eyes.
