Chapter 50: A Brother Complex Is Totally Normal

“Grandma, little sister, hello, my name is Jiang Nanyan, and I’m Shen Yi’s girlfriend!”

Jiang Nanyan instinctively tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and introduced herself very awkwardly.

She was very nervous and worried that Shen Yi’s family might dislike her.

Shen Yi had many girlfriends, so if his family didn’t like her, her relationship with him would definitely suffer in the future.

When Jiang Nanyan greeted them, her palms were sweating from nerves.

“So you’re Xiao Yi’s girlfriend; what a beautiful young lady,” Grandma said in surprise.

Grandma was a little surprised.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Grandma also gave Jiang Nanyan a kind and amiable smile.

“Thank you for the compliment, Grandma!” Jiang Nanyan exhaled in relief and broke into a smile.

It was wonderful!

Grandma liked me, and she even accepted me as her granddaughter-in-law!

So that means that from now on I’ll be the officially recognized wife of Shen Yi by his family?

I was so happy!

Then Jiang Nanyan looked at Shen Su, whose appearance was as exquisite as a doll.

A look of astonishment crossed her eyes as she realized how adorable Shen Yi’s younger sister was.

Even though she hadn’t dressed up much, she still couldn’t hide her peerless beauty.

Although she was still young in age, her face retained some childlike innocence.

But she would definitely grow up to be a great beauty!

However, what puzzled Jiang Nanyan was that she didn’t know why Shen Yi’s sister remained expressionless after getting into the car.

Could it be that she was simply born with that temperament and was completely unlike Shen Yi?

The personalities of these two siblings really differed greatly.

Not only their personalities, but even their appearances seemed nothing like those of real siblings.

While pondering this, she smiled and said, “Hello, little sister; may I know your name?”

“Hmph,” she snorted.

Shen Su snorted lightly, turned her head to look out the window, and completely ignored Jiang Nanyan’s attempt to speak to her.

This distant attitude made Jiang Nanyan feel a bit awkward.

She didn’t know what she had done wrong or why Shen Yi’s sister didn’t like her.

Grandma shook her head and sighed, but said nothing.

Shen Yi naturally couldn’t be bothered to speak up for Jiang Nanyan.

In his eyes, his sister was far more important than Jiang Nanyan.

And as for the reason his sister was unhappy, he understood it too.

Brother complexes are always like this.

She would grow out of it as she got older.

The SUV drove along the road back home.

While driving, Shen Yi snacked on fruit with one hand and used telepathy to scan the plants beside the road for any superpower fruit.

Unfortunately, there was no luck.

After driving dozens of kilometers, Shen Yi still hadn’t found a single superpower fruit.

Of course, the main reason was that he had focused most of his attention on driving and hadn’t observed his surroundings carefully, so there might still be some he had missed.

After driving for another half hour, Shen Yi felt the urge to urinate, so he found a safe spot to pull over and use the restroom.

“If you need to use the restroom too, don’t go too far from the car; the black fog might be dangerous,” Shen Yi warned before getting out of the car.

“Big brother, wait for me; I’m coming too!” Shen Su opened the car door and followed in Shen Yi’s direction.

Inside the car, Jiang Nanyan was awkwardly making small talk with Grandma.

Although Jiang Nanyan was highly intelligent, her emotional intelligence was lacking.

Especially since she had never been in a relationship before and had never interacted with her partner’s elders, she didn’t know how to start a conversation in such a situation.

Grandma, however, gently probed and asked many questions about Jiang Nanyan’s family affairs.

…

“Big brother, when did you start dating a girlfriend? Why didn’t you tell me?” Shen Su grumbled unhappily not far behind.

No sooner had Shen Yi started peeing than he heard his sister’s unhappy mumbling.

“Susu, what are you doing?” Shen Yi hurriedly finished peeing, shook himself twice, and pulled up his pants.

At that moment, Shen Su came out of the black fog with her cheeks puffed out.

Her adorable face was filled with unhappiness and grievance, as if she was on the verge of tears.

Shen Yi sighed helplessly and wanted to reach out to pat Shen Su’s head but thought better of it because he had just finished peeing and hadn’t washed his hands, so he withdrew his hand.

Her eyes immediately welled with tears.

She felt that big brother had completely betrayed her!

Ignoring Shen Yi’s objections, she shoved her head into the palm of his hand and rubbed it several times.

“Brother, can you break up with her?” she pleaded.

Shen Su raised her head, pouted, and looked at Shen Yi with red, pitiful eyes.

“Susu, don’t throw a tantrum,” Shen Yi said, frowning seriously.

Shen Su’s face puffed with grievance, and seeing no smile on Shen Yi’s face, she didn’t dare to throw another tantrum.

Although her brother had always spoiled her before, whenever he showed this expression, it meant he was serious.

“I-I understand,” she stammered.

“Hmm, I have a few other women in my house; Susu, help me keep it from Grandma when the time comes,” Shen Yi reminded her again.

This was also a way to inform his little sister in advance so she wouldn’t throw a tantrum later.

“What!?” Shen Su froze instantly, looking at her brother in disbelief.

She looked at her brother in disbelief.

What did he mean by ‘a few other women’?

Creating a harem!?

My brother, he was actually having a harem in real life!?

Shen Su had thought that this mind-blowing scenario only happened in novels…

But it was happening right beside her, and it was her own brother!

Until she got back into the car, Shen Su remained in shock and disbelief.

She glanced at Jiang Nanyan in the front passenger seat and couldn’t help but make a strange face.

Although she didn’t want to admit it, the woman was indeed very beautiful and knew how to dress well; at first glance, she was a wealthy city miss.

But why would such a wealthy city miss be with her plain older brother?

And she didn’t mind her brother running a harem…

Could it be just because of the black fog outside?

Shen Su felt complex emotions in an instant, and her young heart was greatly shaken.

She found it hard to accept.

And it made her feel terrible.

However, when Shen Yi’s car entered the city, Shen Su saw the tragic scenes and her young heart was struck again.

Once bustling and lively, Shancheng’s streets were now almost devoid of people.

Only the occasional shriek of misery echoed from within the black fog.

During the SUV’s journey, mutated animals would sometimes attempt to pounce onto the vehicle.

It was eerie, absurd, and terrifying!

Shen Su swallowed nervously and asked, “I-Is this the end-of-the-world apocalypse?”

“Why aren’t the police uncles and soldier uncles saving people?” she wondered.

During this time, Shen Su and Grandma had been hiding in the cellar with almost no understanding of the outside world; they had assumed this disaster would be like an earthquake or flood that the government would resolve in time.

However, it now appeared impossible to resolve quickly!

Even Shancheng, a new first-tier city with over thirty million people, had fallen!

It was exactly like the world-ending apocalypse in the movies!!

“Chances are, there won’t be any rescue…” Jiang Nanyan replied quietly to Shen Su’s question.

She no longer held any hope for national rescue operations.

After all, even the police officer who had joined their little family yesterday had said there was no rescue.

It was pointless to still fantasize about a rescue now.

Fortunately, she was currently safe and did not have to worry about food or drink; aside from some concern for her parents’ safety, Jiang Nanyan did not think life now was all that bad.

The only real difference was the lack of many entertainment activities.

As they chatted, Shen Yi drove the car back into their residential complex.

Along the way, he used telepathy to see that there were still quite a few survivors on the road.

After all, Shancheng was a megacity with tens of millions of residents; even if more than two-thirds of them had died in recent days, there were still at least over ten million survivors.

After driving into the complex, Shen Yi parked the car back in the parking spot for Building 13.

This was the building where apocalypse enthusiast Murong Xue lived.
