Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 375 Tsundere
Yao Huo paused for a moment, then nodded to Lu Xi'an and said, "Okay, thank you."

He walked toward Ye Wenxin's grave. He was clearly a Type A new human with terrifyingly strong physical abilities, and his walking should have been very coordinated, but at this moment, every step he took was extremely stiff.

"He was so nervous."

Even his own daughter, Yao Sisi, couldn't help but complain.

Lu Xian: "..."

Yao Huo turned around and glared fiercely at Yao Sisi, but Yao Sisi was not afraid at all. Instead, she waved to Yao Huo, signaling her to hurry up.

Yao Huo was also helpless with this daughter. He couldn't control her, so he quickened his pace and headed towards Yao Wei.

Even though she walked quickly, her movements remained stiff.

"Ugh……"

Yao Sisi couldn't bear to watch any longer and sighed.

Lu Xi'an thought to herself that Yao Wei's younger sister seemed quite different from Yao Wei, with a rather different personality. She must have been quite pampered by Yao Huo, which was why she had developed such a lively and unrestrained personality.

Yao Huo walked to the grave and stood side by side with Yao Wei.

The two were not facing each other, but rather facing Ye Wenxin's grave, so Lu Xi'an and Yao Sisi could not see the shape of their mouths as they spoke.

Lu Xi'an was lost in thought, wondering what Yao Wei would say to Yao Huo.

At least Yao Wei will definitely ask about the past, right? And Yao Huo, facing Yao Wei, should no longer have any reason to refuse.

"Brother-in-law."

Yao Sisi suddenly called out.

Lu Xi'an looked at Yao Sisi, who wasn't looking at him but staring into the distance: "Should I call you brother-in-law, right?"

"Yes."

Lu Xi'an readily admitted it.

Yao Sisi smiled, already watching Yao Huo and Yao Wei's backs, without looking at Lu Xi'an: "I really don't want to call you brother-in-law, nor do I want to call her sister."

“But since Dad wants me to call him that, I did. He didn’t tell me, but I know what he was thinking. It just seems a bit late, and I don’t know if he’ll ever hear me again.”

"What do you mean?"

Lu Xi'an keenly sensed something and asked.

Yao Sisi said, "My dad is going to die, isn't that obvious?"

Lu Xi'an was slightly taken aback and took a serious look at Yao Huo's back. But Yao Huo's movements looked perfectly healthy, not like she was about to die.

That stiffness was simply due to his tension. How could a dignified Type A Newtype die so easily?
Yao Sisi added, "That's not it... He wants to die."

"..."

Lu Xi'an opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

Yao Sisi's tone remained calm, devoid of any emotion, as if she were talking about something trivial or completely unrelated to her:

"Hmm... but it's normal that you didn't notice. You've only met him twice, and the first meeting was over in a hurry."

“I’ve been with him all along, so I can see things clearly. He’s long felt that life is meaningless and he doesn’t want to live anymore.”

"All these years, it's been the belief in revenge that has sustained him. Now that his enemy is dead and he has nothing left to do, he'll probably be ready to die after seeing his sister..."

Lu Xi'an paused for a moment, then said, "Didn't you think about trying to persuade him?"

"I can't help it."

Yao Sisi said, "Besides, he's not happy living, so he might as well be dead. Why should I try to persuade him?"

Lu Xi'an took a deep breath and stood next to Yao Sisi, unsure of what to say.

Is Yao Wei's younger sister inherently cold-hearted? Probably not.

Life and death are unpredictable, especially in this world where death is all too common. Perhaps Yao Sisi had long since become accustomed to it.

Or perhaps... Yao Sisi is simply cold-hearted by nature.

But what does it matter? What does it have to do with me?

Hmm... Come to think of it, I've become a bit cold-hearted these days...

It's all the world's fault!

Lost in thought, he silently gazed at the distant graves and the father and daughter for a long time.

The two talked for a long time, and Lu Xi'an and Yao Sisi waited for a long time. After they finished talking, Yao Wei and Yao Huo returned together.

Lu Xi'an wondered if it was just his imagination, but he suddenly felt that Yao Huo looked much more relaxed.

He glanced at Yao Sisi and saw that she was also looking at Yao Huo, and seemed somewhat surprised.

"let's go."

Yao Wei walked to Lu Xi'an's side and spoke to him.

Yao Huo asked, "Aren't we going to go see the East China Sea?"

Yao Wei said, "Let's talk about it later, there's plenty of time."

Yao Huo grinned and seemed quite happy, not like she was about to commit suicide: "Okay, then I'll stay home and wait to hold my grandson."

“If you have any difficulties or need anything, just tell me in time. No matter where you are, if you need something, I will have Sisi deliver it to you. If you have any troubles, I will have Sisi go there as soon as possible to help you.”

Yao Sisi's face darkened immediately upon hearing this, and she gave Yao Huo a disdainful look: "If you want to go, go yourself. Why do you have to make me do it?"

Yao Huo seemed oblivious to Yao Sisi's expression, grinning as she said, "You two are sisters, you should visit each other more often. If anything happens in the future, you can help each other out, wouldn't that be great? Your sister is so capable, if you offend anyone in the future, you can always ask her for protection, right? And when your sister has her baby, you can help take care of it too."

Yao Sisi's face darkened further: "When have I ever been a troublemaker?!" But she did not refute the matter of taking care of the child.

Yao Wei said, "Alright, let's go. We'll talk about the rest later." Then she got into the car with Lu Xi'an.

Lu Xi'an sat in the driver's seat, nodded to Yao Huo and Yao Sisi as a greeting, and then drove away.

"What did you talk to your dad about? You seem to be in a much better mood."

After driving for a while, Lu Xi'an asked.

Before Yao Wei could speak, she suddenly heard Yao Sisi's voice from behind: "Thank you! Sister! Thank you!"

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei were both stunned. Looking back in the rearview mirror, they could still barely see the figures of Yao Huo and Yao Sisi, father and daughter.

In the mirror, Yao Sisi was standing there with tears streaming down her face, waving her hand high to greet Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei.

Yao Huo reached out and patted Yao Sisi's shoulder, wanting to comfort her, but Yao Sisi waved her hand away in disgust.

"I never expected her to say thank you."

Lu Xian said.

Yao Wei said, "I didn't expect her to cry."

"Dudu-"

Lu Xi'an honked the RV twice as a response to Yao Sisi, and then said, "I originally thought your younger sister was cold-hearted, but I didn't expect her to be so proud and arrogant."

"What tsundere?"

Yao Wei asked.

Lu Xi'an replied, "It's a case of saying one thing but doing another."

Yao Wei: "???"

How could she possibly understand that?
Lu Xi'an had no choice but to explain again: "It's like saying no with your mouth, but your body says yes."

Yao Wei glanced at Lu Xi'an and said, "You're like that sometimes too."

Lu Xian: "..."

How can that be the same?! I had no choice in the matter!
……

The car drove further and further away, gradually disappearing from Yao Huo and Yao Sisi's sight.

"Their cars are really nice."

Yao Sisi wiped away her tears, sniffed, and said, her voice trembling with uncontrollable sobs, "I'm so envious I'm crying."

Yao Huo retorted, "You're such a grown-up girl, why are you still so coy? It's just because I cried, why are you bringing your sister's car into this?"

Yao Sisi glared at Yao Huo: "Because you cried? What kind of dream are you having!"

She looked into the distance again and said, "Don't you think their cars are really nice?"

Yao Huo nodded and said, "That's true. I secretly peeked inside before, and it's really nice, with plenty of supplies. They know how to manage money, unlike you, who I still have to worry about."

Yao Sisi glanced at Yao Huo, too lazy to argue with her.

She said, "So you peeked too. I was the only one who peeked all along."

"It's really nice inside! There's a bed, a sofa, and a place to cook. They also have so much food, more plentiful than what we have here!"

"If I had a car like that, I'd stay in it and never get off, so I wouldn't have to see you."

Yao Huo glared at Yao Sisi, clearly annoyed: "How dare you talk like that?! I'm your father!"

I'd rather you weren't.

Yao Sisi immediately said something that completely broke Yao Huo's defenses, but after breaking Yao Huo's defenses, she said, "I've never seen anyone like you before, so biased."

"I've advised you about this matter so many times, both openly and secretly, but you've ignored me and acted like you're ready to die."

"Why are you being so easy to talk to now that my sister is here? What did she say to you that made everything alright?"
"Why don't I deserve to let you live a good life? Only my sister does, right?"

Yao Huo seized on the blind spot in Yao Sisi's words and laughed again: "You finally said 'my sister' sincerely, that's great, it saves me from worrying."

Yao Sisi said disdainfully, "Me?! Sincerely?! Forget it! Look at how you treat us differently. She's not even my mother, how could I sincerely call her that?!"

Yao Huo smiled and said, "Your hypocritical manner is just like mine."

Yao Sisi rolled her eyes with a look of disgust.

Then she asked with a curious look, "What kind of magic potion did my sister give you to make you so happy all of a sudden?"

Yao Huo's smile grew even brighter: "Your sister said she'll bring her child to visit us after she has one."

Yao Sisi's eyes widened: "That's it?!"

Yao Huo said, "What else?"

Yao Sisi: "..."

She wanted to ignore her biased father even more.

Inside the RV, Yao Wei was answering Lu Xi'an's question as well: "He wants to die. I told him that if he wants to die, I won't stop him."

"But if he doesn't die, I'll bring the child to see him after he has a baby. It's good for the child to have a maternal grandfather... I guess we should call him maternal grandfather?"

Lu Xi'an paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, either maternal grandfather or maternal grandfather is fine."
