TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 195

The feeling of being gently kneaded in his palm pulled Xie YunChuan back from his thoughts. He lowered his eyes and met Luo Shuyou’s affectionate and worried gaze. Xie YunChuan gently squeezed his hand, raised his other hand to caress his face, and softly said, “I’m fine.”

Luo Shuyou’s lips curved up in a smile, and he nodded, “Okay, I’m here.”

He didn’t know Xie YunChuan’s past, just as Xie YunChuan didn’t understand his history. Their meeting, companionship, and love were the result of two lonely souls finding their lifelong partners.

Perhaps because their pasts weren’t particularly pleasant, they didn’t often mention them to each other. But Luo Shuyou knew that no matter what happened, Xie YunChuan would always be by his side, and he would always be the one visible in his lowered gaze.

Xie YunChuan looked up at Gu Tangxi and the others and said, “Although the Su family isn’t made up of great philanthropists, they aren’t treacherous and cunning either. They’re a good place to seek refuge and settle down.”

“I couldn’t explain it to you before. If you’re choosing to continue following me because of this concern, then there’s no need. Go into the city and rely on the Su family. For my sake, they’ll treat you kindly.”

If they had a choice, no one would want to live a life of wandering and hardship. Although Xie YunChuan was the one who initially wanted to go to Li City, Li City was indeed a haven in the post-apocalyptic world. Who wouldn’t want to live a life where they could sleep peacefully, without fear of zombies attacking over hundred-meter-high walls?

Gu Tangxi hesitated, exchanging glances with Gu Tangyue. They were indeed tired of this life of constant travel. Even though they didn’t lack for food and had Xie YunChuan and Luo Shuyou, two powerful figures, by their side, life needed hope and direction, and people needed a sense of belonging.

Humans were social creatures. Wandering through the world adrift for too long, they would inevitably crave the lively atmosphere of a crowd.

Gu Tangxi asked, “What are you going to do in the future?”

Xie YunChuan put his arm around Luo Shuyou’s, smiled at him, and then looked at the three of them, casually saying, “Fight monsters, level up, find supplies, and by the way, have a romantic relationship and enjoy our time together.”

Luo Shuyou’s zombie identity was an unpredictable bomb, and they were no longer suitable for living among people. Xie YunChuan didn’t want to take that risk.

Gu Tangyue suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and revealed an appropriate smile, saying, “You’ve got it backwards. I think you’re going to have a romantic relationship and enjoy your time together, and by the way, fight monsters, level up, and find supplies.”

Luo Shuyou gave Gu Tangyue a knowing look and said with a sly smile, “Uh-huh, Sister Xiaoyue understands us best.”

Gu Tangxi understood. “So, you want to just keep wandering around like this, just the two of you?”

“Probably.”

Xie YunChuan let out a long breath. As far as he was concerned, the most important person was already by his side.

As for that woman… A bitter expression flickered in Xie YunChuan’s eyes. He knew that she had abandoned him long ago. All the reluctance and anticipation were just his own hopeless thoughts. He should have let go long ago.

What did ten months of pregnancy matter? What did blood ties matter? She had been willing to abandon him for more than ten years, and he… Even if he disregarded his own pitiful pride, he should think about Shuyou’s safety and not desperately cling to her anymore.

Gu Tangxi nodded. “Okay, then let’s say goodbye here.”

Watching the two leaning on each other, Gu Tangyue stared for a long time, and finally said heavily, “I hope that from now on, we will each be well.”

Luo Shuyou: “Okay, Sister Xiaoyue, Sister Xiaoxi, take care.”

As the few people finished their heartfelt farewell, they turned their heads and met Xu Yuzhe’s complicated gaze. Gu Tangxi’s heart skipped a beat. Oh no, how could they forget that there was another person in their ragtag team!

Gu Tangxi quickly asked with concern, “What about you? What are your plans for the future?”

At this point, it was clear that Xie YunChuan and Luo Shuyou didn’t want anyone disturbing their time together. It was likely that Xu Yuzhe would choose to go to the Su family with them.

Xu Yuzhe had only joined midway and had always been a marginal figure, so he didn’t mind being ignored. …Perhaps he was used to it. He wasn’t an outspoken person, and he was a latecomer, only chiming in occasionally. When he didn’t take the initiative to talk, it was normal for the others to ignore his existence.

“I’ll go to Li City with you and take a look.”

Now that he was here, and with Xie YunChuan as a stepping stone, he should at least see what this legendary, peaceful, and stable post-apocalyptic haven looked like.

Having seen too many devastated zombie cities, he was starting to forget what normal towns should look like.

He politely said goodbye to Xie YunChuan and Luo Shuyou, and then the three of them turned to leave. Suddenly, Luo Shuyou called out to them, “Wait a moment.”

The three of them turned around in unison, looking questioningly at the person who had stopped them. Gu Tangxi asked, “Is there anything else?”

The atmosphere of parting was undoubtedly heavy, but everyone suppressed their reluctance and put on a relaxed tone.

Luo Shuyou looked at Xie YunChuan, and Xie YunChuan immediately understood what he meant, handing him the black box he had obtained earlier.

Luo Shuyou took the thing and turned it around, still puzzled. “ChuanChuan, you said that this thing is tightly sealed, without even a seam, like a hollow box cast as one piece. How did Wu Zixiao and the others put the Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core inside?”

Xie YunChuan used a bit of force to rub his pouting little face, and said with a smile, “Did you forget? Wu Zixiao is a level seven ability user. He can open it.”

“Oh, okay.” It was just that he didn’t see any traces of prying or attacks on it.

Luo Shuyou pulled away Xie YunChuan’s hand and rubbed his face himself, grumbling unhappily, “Hey, don’t pinch my face. It hurts when you pinch so hard.”

The hand that had been pulled away turned to ruffle Luo Shuyou’s hair instead. Xie YunChuan slowly said, “Little fool.”

The three people facing Xie YunChuan and Luo Shuyou: “…!!?”

So, they were called back just to watch one last scene of the two of them showing affection?

The three of them expressed that they had seen enough along the way, and there was no need to add this scene specifically.

Of course, this was just a joking thought. They had already seen the iron box in Luo Shuyou’s hand and guessed the purpose of him calling them back.
