153: You can stay here without worry; no one will bother you.

Seeing Cheng Siyu's expression change so rapidly, returning to the familiar cold and aloof sister, Gu Xitian subconsciously felt that she must have been hallucinating and seen wrong just now.

So she waved her hands repeatedly and said with a smile, "Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing, let's quickly catch up with brother and the others."

Gu Xitian didn't know why, but at this moment, she felt a little flustered and dared not face Cheng Siyu, who had turned into a cold and beautiful woman.

Cheng Siyu looked at the somewhat flustered Gu Xitian, her eyes darkened, and she grabbed Gu Xitian, pulling her to an empty corner.

Gu Xitian, who was forcibly pulled away, said fearfully, "Sister Siyu, you're hurting me, let go quickly."

Cheng Siyu looked around to confirm no one was there, then turned to Gu Xitian with a sorrowful expression, "Xitian, are you afraid of me? Why?"

Seeing her sister, who had grown up with her and always protected her, show such a sad expression, Gu Xitian's heart softened, and she stammered, "No, Sister Siyu, it's just... it's just that your appearance just now startled me. I've never seen you look so scary before."

Cheng Siyu gave a tragic smile, released Gu Xitian's hand, which she had been holding tightly, and said, "Xitian, do you understand love?"

"Love? Romantic love?"

"Yes, romantic love! Why have I become like this? It's all because of the torment of love!"

Gu Xitian didn't understand, showing a puzzled expression.

Cheng Siyu continued, "I've liked your brother since childhood, you know this, and even Auntie knows and approves, right?"

"Uh... yes, that's right."

"Before, I always confidently believed that your brother liked me in his heart. Although he was cold on the surface, he still cared about me in everything. I always thought that was proof that Xiheng liked me, until Ai Yue appeared, which shattered my illusion. It turns out that when your brother likes someone, it's obvious from his eyes."

"I really don't want to admit it, but the truth is that woman Ai Yue has taken root in your brother's heart."

"So I hate her, why?"

"I love Xiheng so much, why did she just appear and snatch him away? Why?"

"Xitian, tell me, why? I've done so much for Xiheng? He even... Waaah, why doesn't your brother like me?"

As she spoke, tears welled up in Cheng Siyu's eyes, her face a picture of sorrow, which made Gu Xitian feel very distressed.

She quickly comforted her, saying, "Sister Siyu, don't worry, my brother is a responsible man. Since he's already slept with you, then it's impossible for him and Ai Yue."

"Xitian, I'm sorry for letting you see this dark side of me, but I can't help it. I love Xiheng too much. When I see his eyes full of Ai Yue, I can't control myself; I wish I could kill Ai Yue. I'm sorry..."

Cheng Siyu cried miserably, and Gu Xitian felt incredibly pained. This was the always proud Cheng Siyu; when had she ever been so disheveled? She couldn't help but hug the sobbing Cheng Siyu tightly.

"Sister, don't say sorry. You were always meant to be my sister-in-law, and since Gu Xiheng has taken your body, he must marry you. Don't worry, I'll help you, and my mom will help you too."

"Xitian, it's good to have you, Waaah..." A glimmer of cunning flashed in Cheng Siyu's eyes.

At this moment, Gu Xitian couldn't help but resent her brother a little, for being unclear with Ai Yue and causing Sister Siyu so much sadness.

Gu Xitian comforted her for a long time before Cheng Siyu stopped crying, and Gu Xitian had long forgotten Cheng Siyu's terrifying expression when looking at Ai Yue.

Ai Yue was taken to tour the base. Throughout the entire process, Gu Xiheng's gaze remained on Ai Yue, wanting to say something to her, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Mo Li looked at him, always appearing as if he had something to say but couldn't, and couldn't help but feel anxious for him. With such a clumsy tongue, how could he expect Ai Yue to look at him more?

Ai Yue was led along, feeling a bit helpless inside. The construction models of all Safety Towers were similar.

She had lived in Yingjin Safety Tower for several years and was already familiar with the layout and design inside the Safety Tower. Songzhou Safety Tower and Yingjin Safety Tower only differed in some minor details; other scenery and aspects were largely the same, so there was really nothing to see.

However, Gong Qiumu was enthusiastically and incessantly introducing things to Ai Yue, with Gu Xiheng and others following behind.

"Sister Ai Yue, isn't our base pretty good? You'd definitely be comfortable if you could move in! Consider it?" Gong Qiumu seized the opportunity to persuade her.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'll pass," Ai Yue said with a faint smile.

"Sister, don't rush to make a decision. Just play here for a couple of days and then decide. I'll pretend you didn't say anything just now, and you can take another look."

Gong Qiumu said with a chuckle.

Ai Yue found it hard to refuse again, so she could only nod.

Gu Xiheng, however, was unwilling and said coldly, "She won't stay in your Safety Tower. If she's going to find a Safety Tower to settle down in, it will definitely be our base."

Mo Li chimed in, "That's right, if Ai Yue chooses, she'll choose our base!"

"Oh, my two brothers! Where Sister Ai Yue lives doesn't matter, does it? No conflict, no conflict. Come on, Sister, I'll take you over there to see..."

"Qiumu, there's no need. I'm tired. Please take me to where I'll be staying," Ai Yue quickly interrupted him.

"There's no need to arrange separate accommodation for her. Ai Yue can stay with us!"

Gu Xiheng said to Gong Qiumu.

Just then, a soldier said that Colonel Gong had an urgent matter and urgently needed to discuss it with Gu Xiheng and Mo Li.

Gu Xiheng could only throw a line to Ai Yue, "Stay there. When he comes back, he has something to discuss with her," then he hastily left with his men.

"Sister Ai Yue, we..." Gong Qiumu was a bit troubled.

"Don't mind him. Didn't you just say you'd already arranged accommodation for me? Take me there!"

"Alright! My brother already arranged it for you; you'll definitely be satisfied."

Gong Qiumu quickly led Ai Yue to the location, which was a twenty-five-story small tower, with soldiers guarding its perimeter.

Ai Yue immediately noticed that this place was unusual. "This isn't a place I should be staying, is it?"

"With your abilities, is there anywhere you can't stay? Don't worry, it's quiet here, perfect for you!"

Gong Qiumu, without explanation, pulled Ai Yue into the small tower and went to the fifth floor. He walked to the innermost part and opened a room door.

"Sister Ai Yue, how is it? The environment is pretty good, right?"

Ai Yue looked at the room with one bedroom and one bathroom. Although it only had a simple bed, table, and chairs, it was clean, tidy, spacious, and bright.

Ai Yue nodded. Such an environment was considered good in the Apocalypse, and she had no complaints.

"As long as Sister Ai Yue is satisfied, then you can rest. Oh, right, this isn't a place where just anyone can come in, so you can rest assured living here. No one will ever disturb you!"
