After entering the store, Xie Jing greeted Gu Yunshu: "Good morning, Yunshu. Have you had breakfast yet?"

"We've already eaten, and you've all eaten too, right?" Gu Yunshu replied casually.

Before Xie Jing could answer, Xie Yue nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "We ate, we ate. The porridge and eggs we had this morning were all bought from Sister Yun Shu."

Xie Jing glanced at his sister who had stolen the spotlight from him, a hint of resentment emanating from her.

"I'll leave Yueyue here with you. I'm going out now, and I'll come back to pick her up tonight."

"Okay, go ahead. If you don't come back tonight, I'll personally take Yueyue home," Gu Yunshu waved her hand dismissively, took a lollipop out of her pocket, and handed it to Xie Yue.

Xie Jing looked at Gu Yunshu interacting with her younger sister, a hint of disappointment on his face.

Undeterred, he said to Xie Yue, "Yueyue, is your brother leaving?"

"Okay, brother, you should go now. I want to watch TV with Sister Yunshu," Xie Yue said, her mouth full of the lollipop Gu Yunshu had given her, as she snuggled up to Gu Yunshu and watched the tablet with her.

This tablet was given to Gu Yunshu by Xia Qingqing. She had downloaded a lot of movies and TV series on it to pass the time when she was bored.

Although there are cell phones and computers in the post-apocalyptic world, there is no internet.

Xie Jing: "......"

He wouldn't admit that he was a little envious of his sister, envious that she could get along so well with Gu Yunshu. He also wished that Yunshu could smile at him so happily and wanted to watch a movie with Yunshu.

After Xie Jing left, Xie Yue secretly covered her mouth and chuckled, then leaned close to Gu Yunshu with a gossipy look on her face:

"Sister Yunshu, can you see? My brother's eyes are practically glued to you. Aren't you going to consider him?"

Gu Yunshu chuckled and poked Xie Yue's forehead: "What do you know, you little brat? Mind your own business and watch your cartoons."

Xie Yue pouted in dissatisfaction: "How could I not understand? My brother is still a virgin. He's good-looking and has a great physique. Oh, and he even has eight-pack abs. Sister Yun Shu, don't you like this type?"

Xie Yue was already 13 years old, and she wasn't some clueless little kid. She had long since realized that her brother had feelings for Sister Yun Shu.

Unfortunately, her brother was a coward and didn't dare to confess his feelings to Sister Yunshu, so she would reluctantly help her brother test Sister Yunshu's thoughts.

Gu Yunshu was stunned by Xie Yue's words: "Yueyue, how do you know so much?"

That shouldn't be the case. Xie Yue was only a little old when the apocalypse came, and she spent most of the following years staying at home by herself.

Xie Yue was completely unaware of Gu Yunshu's surprise and honestly confessed, "That's how my brother's teammates in the superpowered team joke with him."

In the apocalypse, life is inherently unpredictable, and no one knows if they will be gone in the next second. Therefore, everyone adheres to the principle of living for the moment. Xie Jing, an old virgin, is considered an oddity in the entire base. His teammates in the Qilin Squad would always tease him about this.

Xie Yue's words still left a mark on Gu Yunshu's heart. When Xie Jing came to pick up her sister that night, her gaze subconsciously fell on Xie Jing.

After reading it, I nodded to myself. Just as Yueyue said, Xie Jing's appearance is indeed quite good.

Xie Jing felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red: "Yun Shu, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?"

He quietly checked his clothes but found nothing amiss.

“There’s nothing wrong with it. Yueyue told me this morning that you have a great figure, so I just wanted to see if it was as she said,” Gu Yunshu said bluntly, which caught Xie Jing off guard.

Xie Jing tugged at her clothes like a timid wife, wanting to ask: Are you satisfied with what you see?

But he was too embarrassed to ask the question, and with Xie Yue, that little brat, there, he was even more embarrassed.

Xie Yue: Shall I leave?

That night, Xie Jing couldn't fall asleep because he kept thinking about the way Gu Yunshu looked at him. He finally managed to doze off for a while just before dawn.

The next morning, Xie Yue woke up to find her brother looking haggard, with obvious dark circles under his eyes.

Looking at Xie Jing curiously, she asked, "Brother, did you not sleep well last night?"

Xie Jing didn't want to bring up this topic and urged, "Go wash up quickly. Are you going to Yun Shu's shop today?"

"Yes, I made plans with Sister Yunshu to watch a new movie together today," Xie Yue said excitedly at the thought of going to Gu Yunshu's shop, and happily went to the bathroom to wash up.

In the past, when Xie Jing went on missions, Xie Yue could only stay at home alone to read books, and she was also a quiet and reserved person.

Last time Xie Jing took his younger sister to Gu Yunshu's shop to buy things, Xie Yue insisted on staying in the shop to play, and this became her daily routine.

Fortunately, Gu Yunshu didn't mind having someone else with her at all; at least she had someone to complain about when watching movies or TV series.

Xie Jing quickly prepared breakfast and placed Xie Yue's portion in front of her.

"Brother, why don't you dare confess your feelings to Sister Yunshu? Are you afraid of being rejected by her?"

Xie Jing was stunned when he suddenly heard his sister ask him the same question. After a long while, he said, "Why are you asking these questions, you're just a kid. Let's eat."

"I was just worried about you. You're so old and you still don't have a girlfriend," Xie Yue sighed like a little adult.

She could tell that Sister Yunshu didn't dislike her brother. Besides, Sister Yunshu liked her so much, so she should like her brother a little bit too, right?

Xie Yue's words were like a knife to Xie Jing's heart. What did she mean by "old age"? Was he really that old? He was only 28...

Xie Jing suddenly realized that he was actually 28 years old. Time really flies. He wasn't considered young before the apocalypse.

Seeing the disappointed look on her brother's face, Xie Yue said nervously, "Brother, don't be sad. In my heart, you will always be the youngest and most handsome brother."

Her mouth is so useless; how could she possibly speak her mind? Look how upset she's made her brother.

But speaking of which, her brother is almost 30 years old. If he doesn't hurry up, won't it be even harder in the future?

"I really don't know what's going on in that little head of yours every day," Xie Jing tapped her head with the end of his chopsticks, causing Xie Yue to let out a series of cries of pain.

Finally, he added, "Remember not to say anything careless in front of your sister Yunshu."

"I understand," Xie Yue nodded obediently.

A wave of guilt washed over her; what if she had already finished speaking?

After breakfast, Xie Jing took Xie Yue to Gu Yunshu's shop.
