TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 169

Chapter 169: Flowers Unseen, Snow Becomes Flowers

Xie YunChuan deeply understood one law: a jealous lover is beyond reasoning.

Xie YunChuan didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty about the accusation. On the contrary, he found Luo Shuyou, puffed up with anger, incredibly adorable. He continued to tease him, saying, “Oh? How can Youyou wrongly accuse me? Where did all this come from? Why don’t I know anything about it?”

Luo Shuyou was truly furious. He broke free from Xie YunChuan’s grasp, took a step back, and said in a trembling voice, “You…you you you, how can you be like this? Still denying it! Hmph! Don’t think I’ve lost my memory. I remember everything! You can’t fool me!”

Xie YunChuan pretended to be ignorant, asking with an innocent look, “What do you remember? You remembering is your business. What does it have to do with me and the little zombie?”

Luo Shuyou felt so wronged that he was about to cry. He glared at Xie YunChuan with watery eyes, choking back sobs as he said, “I am the little zombie! The little zombie is me! I know everything you did to the little zombie. You still want to pretend nothing happened? Waaah…you big bad person…!” As he said that, tears fell from his eyes.

This broke Xie YunChuan’s heart. He quickly pulled him into his arms, hugged him tightly, and wiped away his tears. “Yes, baby himself said it. The little zombie is Youyou, and Youyou is the little zombie. So why is Youyou still jealous and unhappy about me and the little zombie?”

If it weren’t to induce Luo Shuyou to say these words himself, Xie YunChuan would never have angered Luo Shuyou like that. But some things, he had to be forced to wake up and recognize on his own. Otherwise, no matter how much others said or explained, it would be in vain. If he stubbornly insisted on something, no matter what Xie YunChuan said, it would only be superficial comfort, unable to shake his inner thoughts in the slightest.

Especially Youyou, this little fool, getting jealous of himself and feeling so wronged. Really…, Xie YunChuan chuckled and shook his head helplessly. What a little idiot!

Luo Shuyou lay in Xie YunChuan’s arms, sobbing and sniffling, saying tearfully, “Then…then you’re not even as nice to me as you are to the little zombie…!”

Xie YunChuan was at a loss for words, patiently saying, “You, I’ve already said that the little zombie is Youyou. Brother’s love for Youyou has never changed. How can it be good one moment and bad the next?”

“I don’t care. You’re just biased.”

Actually, after being angered by Xie YunChuan like this and completely venting his feelings, Luo Shuyou also realized that his unfounded self-doubt was quite unreasonable. However, he would never say to Xie YunChuan that he was wrong. Anyway, it was all Xie YunChuan’s fault. Luo Shuyou knew that Xie YunChuan would coax and indulge him.

As Luo Shuyou wished, Xie YunChuan knew from Luo Shuyou’s awkward tone that his knot had been mostly untied. Next was to sincerely admit his mistake and coax his wife well. “Alright, alright, it’s my fault. Yes, I’m sorry to our Youyou baby. It’s my fault for making Youyou unhappy. I apologize. Baby, smile, forgive brother, okay?”

Luo Shuyou went from tears to laughter, sniffing and sobbing softly, “Mm, I forgive you.”

The little idiot’s eyes were red, and his voice was soft. His eyes, as he looked at Xie YunChuan, were full of smiles and love. Xie YunChuan’s heart melted, and he placed a kiss on his wet eyes. “Mm, thank you, my baby.”

……

Gu Tangxi and the other two returned to the small house before the sky completely darkened. Saying it was a small house, it was only in comparison to the high-rise buildings of the city. In reality, it wasn’t small at all. It had a spacious courtyard and a well-built two-story bungalow. On the left and right corners of the house, there were also two large trees that were two or three meters taller than the roof. The bare branches were covered in snow, without a single dead leaf. Judging from the thick, curved trunks and the uneven, pitted bark, they should be two pear trees.

It was a pity that it was the wrong season. No flowers, no fruit, and no green leaves. It really lived up to the saying – “Thousands of trees and ten thousands of trees of pear blossoms bloom.”

The moment the car was turned off and hadn’t completely stopped, Gu Tangyue hurriedly opened the door and rushed into the house. When she sat down in the blazing firelight, Gu Tangyue didn’t think much of it and assumed Xie YunChuan and Luo Shuyou had returned earlier.

When Gu Tangxi and Xu Yuzhe slowly walked over, Gu Tangyue asked in confusion, “Strange, how is the fire burning so brightly but Xie-dage and Xiao Youyou aren’t anywhere to be seen?”

Gu Tangxi replied casually, “Maybe they’re hiding in some room doing something naughty. Never mind them.”

Li Shi, hiding in the dark: “……!” Okay, the credit was stolen again. Why do these people always like to erase the hard work of zombies?

Gu Tangyue raised her eyes and glared at Gu Tangxi, “What are you saying? Can you be a little more pure-minded?”

Gu Tangxi: “……”

“Hey, what do you mean my thoughts aren’t pure? The two lovebirds haven’t seen each other in a long time. Isn’t it normal for them to be busy hiding from us three light bulbs to be intimate? You’re an adult, why are you pretending to be so innocent?”

Gu Tangyue: “So what if I’m an adult? Even if I were a hundred years old, I wouldn’t know how two men fall in love. Who’s like you, Gu the Scholar, with such a wide range of knowledge, able to talk about everything so expertly.”

Gu Tangxi wasn’t ashamed but rather proud, saying, “Aiya hey~, I just know more than you, I’m just more amazing than you, so what? Are you jealous? Are you going to bite me? Neener neener…”

Gu Tangyue couldn’t bear to look at her childish behavior and was too lazy to continue arguing with her. She only slowly said, “Just be a decent human being, will you?”

Xu Yuzhe: “……!” You two sisters, be decent human beings, will you!

“Take out the generator and install it to test it.”

One sentence successfully shut Gu Tangxi’s mouth, who was about to say more. Gu Tangyue’s mind flickered, and four or five old, rusty generators appeared in the hall.

The first one was they accidentally stumbled upon in a small factory. The following few were what they scoured after searching through most of the factory, afraid that these things wouldn’t have one in ten that was still usable.

The three of them fiddled around for a long time, installing the generator, organizing the circuits, connecting the wires, replacing the damaged and unusable wires, and then installing a new light bulb.

The banging of the generator sounded intermittently dozens of times. The one-hundred-watt light bulb hanging on the hall’s beam flickered on and off, on and off, almost blinding them.

Xu Yuzhe’s hand that turned the crank was almost worn raw. “This is the last one. These damn things really…are neither good-looking nor useful.”

Gu Tangxi stammered, “How about…you take a break and I’ll try?” Was there a possibility—that he was just too unlucky?

Gu Tangxi only thought about this last sentence in her heart, but didn’t dare to say it out loud. Xu Yuzhe had worked so hard doing this and that, even if he didn’t have credit, he still had the effort. If she dared to complain, wouldn’t she be killed?

Xu Yuzhe turned the crank for a while. As the banging grew louder and louder, the light bulb lit up, and the generator got on track. Xu Yuzhe released his hand and took a step back, only to hear two hissing sounds, the light bulb flickered twice, and then with a *thwack*, it went out completely.

Xu Yuzhe: “……?”

He retreated to the side and gave up his position, gesturing to Gu Tangxi with his left hand, saying, “Come on, you try.”

Xu Yuzhe thought resentfully in his heart, he wanted to see if this broken machine was really pulling that gender discrimination crap!
