    Chapter 166: A Joke Causes Trouble

    The two groups were Xie YunChuan and Luo Shuyou’s team, and the Gu Tangxi, Gu Tangyue sisters and Xu Yuze’s team. They also took White Tiger Cub away.

    As for why they split up? Naturally, it was to give Xie YunChuan and Luo Shuyou some time alone together. The little couple hadn’t seen each other for so long, and they hadn’t even had enough of hugging when Gu Tangxi and the others interrupted. This time, everyone was tactful enough to reserve some private space for them.

    Watching the vehicles head in different directions, Gu Tangxi vigorously kneaded White Tiger Cub’s chubby tiger face and sighed, “Ah! Young couples are so nice!” Her eyes were full of envy.

    White Tiger Cub had a milk-flavored lollipop that it hadn’t eaten in a long time in its mouth. The sweet and sour milk flavor was strong, and it was happily sucking on it. Having accepted a gift, it was inclined to be lenient. It didn’t mind the hands messing with its face, and it squinted its tiger eyes in a docile, enjoying manner.

    Seeing how enthusiastically she was petting it, Gu Tangxi couldn’t resist the urge to reach out and stroke it as well, chuckling, “It’s clearly a good thing, why say it in such a sighing tone?”

    Mmm~! White Tiger Cub’s fur was so soft and smooth, and especially clean, without any strange smell. Luo Shuyou had really taken good care of it. Gu Tangxi officially joined the petting ranks.

    This wasn’t Luo Shuyou’s credit at all. Try asking White Tiger Cub, an energy being, not a real beast, where would it get a beastly, musky smell? But Gu Tangxi wouldn’t think of that.

    “You don’t understand,” Gu Tangyue said, “I’m mourning for myself, sighing for myself. What do they have to mourn and sigh about?” To talk about hardship, everyone in the end of the world is struggling, but not everyone can awaken three abilities like Xie YunChuan and level up so quickly without any bottlenecks, nor can everyone be infected like Luo Shuyou and have a devoted lover who takes care of them and stays with them. And now, he is no different from a normal person.

    Gu Tangxi was more optimistic and cheerful and didn’t have so many thoughts. She said cheerfully, “We don’t have anything to mourn about either. Being able to live until now, and being able to leisurely drive around this city without any worries, is already very fortunate.”

    Gu Tangyue was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “Sis, I want to fall in love.”

    Gu Tangxi paused her hand movements, then slowly smoothed White Tiger Cub’s back fur, saying without any politeness, “Hold on, hold on. You couldn’t even find a reliable man to date before the end of the world, and now you’re telling me you want to fall in love after the end of the world? Heh, before, misjudging someone would only get you scammed out of your money and body, but now misjudging someone will get you your skull opened and dissected. Don’t want to live anymore?”

    Gu Tangyue was dissatisfied with her sister’s harsh words and muttered, “There are good people too, aren’t there? Look at Xie YunChuan, isn’t he pretty good?”

    Gu Tangxi curled her lips, disagreeing, “You think Xie YunChuan is a good person?”

    Gu Tangyue’s tone was hesitant, “Not… not really.” Although she had a very strong “good man” filter for Xie YunChuan, that good man was only for Luo Shuyou’s man. Being a good person was another matter.

    “That’s the point. He’s not called a good person. His goodness is selective. If you didn’t have this space ability, do you think he’d even bother with you?”

    “Don’t be so snobbish. Didn’t Xu Yuze save us in the beginning?” Gu Tangyue retorted, pulling Xu Yuze, who was driving, out as an example.

    Gu Tangxi didn’t want to publicly mock Xu Yuze for saving people because he wanted the space, so she vaguely said, “That… that’s because he’s kind-hearted.” Then she changed the subject and deliberately teased, “Then you should get together with him. I don’t object.”

    Xu Yuze: “…”

    Even with his good temper, he couldn’t help but complain in his heart: These two darlings, not driving the car, not clearing the snow, and still teasing him, the hard worker, in front of him. What’s that about?

    Date, go ahead, who can be better than you two? I wouldn’t object if you two had some incest plus yuri thing.

    Gu Tangyue blushed crimson with embarrassment, angrily hitting Gu Tangxi lightly, hissing, “What are you saying?” Then she stammered to Xu Yuze, “That… that, Brother Yuze, don’t misunderstand, I definitely, absolutely don’t have any ulterior motives towards you. I swear.”

    Although Xu Yuze looked good and had decent strength, with a gem already in the spotlight, since they were all ulterior motives, why couldn’t she think of something better?

    Xu Yuze smiled slightly, turning his head and saying, “That’s good. Me too.”

    After the end of the world, Xu Yuze had never thought about those things between men and women. He couldn’t do what Xie YunChuan did, so it was better not to hold up other girls. Besides Gu Tangyue, other than the space ability, she really didn’t have anything attractive. To trade his own integrity for a girl’s favor for a space? There was no need to go that far. He didn’t plan to be a scumbag.

    “Ah! What?” Gu Tangyue didn’t understand Xu Yuze’s meaning for a moment. Xu Yuze only smiled and didn’t say anything more.

    After a moment of silence, Gu Tangyue slowly understood. This time, she wasn’t just embarrassed, but simply mortified with shame. She couldn’t say anything more, only lowering her head and kneading White Tiger Cub.

    White Tiger Cub felt a little uncomfortable from the increased force and, raising its eyes, saw the little girl’s face, which looked like she was about to cry, and silently endured it.

    Xu Yuze was usually gentle, polite, and gentlemanly, but she didn’t expect him to answer like that. Gu Tangxi realized that Xu Yuze really didn’t have that intention and was eager to clarify the relationship, but what he said was a bit hurtful to the little girl.

    But in the end, the culprit was still her, the older sister. She was the one who started joking about Xu Yuze. Even if Tangyue had that attitude, she couldn’t blame him for not being tactful, otherwise it would seem like Xu Yuze was begging and failing. And whether looking at appearance or strength, Tangyue really wasn’t a match for Xu Yuze.

    Gu Tangxi sighed silently. Her joke had gone too far.

    The atmosphere in the car was awkward and stiff for a moment. Gu Tangxi cleared her throat, and coincidentally saw a small supermarket by the side of the road. She quickly changed the subject, “There’s a supermarket ahead. Let’s go in and take a look.”

    Xu Yuze directly parked the car in front of the supermarket entrance. Anyway, there were only a few of them here, so it didn’t matter how they parked.

    This was just an ordinary little supermarket, and it looked like it had already been searched over and over again. Anything that could be eaten inside, even a bottle of soy sauce, was gone. Everything was overturned and scattered everywhere, a chaotic mess.

    Because of the awkwardness in the car just now, Gu Tangyue deliberately went in the opposite direction from Xu Yuze. At this time, she was walking with a gloomy face, kicking anything that was blocking her feet as if to vent. The silent little supermarket was filled with clanging sounds.
