Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 700

Chapter 700: Tact the size of grain

"Why didn’t you let me speak?" Once they were done with their breakfast, Bai Jixuan, who had been silent throughout the meal, spoke up. He was pouting aggrievedly as if Bai Meiyue had done him some great personal wrong.

"What else can you say other than asking Tong Huan to stop being unreasonable?" Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes as she thought of what her brothers had been doing the past couple of days. Bai Zhan was not good at expressing himself, which was causing more and more misunderstandings to arise. What was more, Bai Jixuan was not helpful either. He would either tell Tong Huan to get it together or tell her that she was thinking too much.

Tong Huan had a rather strong personality. Compared with the fact that she was still recovering from the murder of her adoptive family and the truth of being abandoned by her biological parents, she was a bit too fierce about a lot of things. She was insecure and wanted to fight for everything that she liked and desired. Her brothers were too insensitive to sense that, and Tong Huan didn’t know how to explain it either.

Then why don’t you tell them the truth, Boss? Ciyi asked with a woof.

"Because there is no point. I can help them today, but I cannot help them all the time," replied Bai Meiyue.

Tong Huan and Bai Zhan’s personalities were way too different. They were like fire and ice. Tong Huan was fierce and explosive. She loved too deeply, and her brother was too calm and steady. Having been married once and going through all that suffering at the hands of his ex-wife, he was much steadier. Thus, it wasn’t even a surprise that her eldest brother was not fond of the passionate and burning love that Tong Huan had for him.

Bai Meiyue knew that neither of them was in the wrong. But neither of them was correct either. Thus, Bai Meiyue couldn’t take a stand for either of them.

Bai Jixuan rolled his eyes at her. "I am not, am I? She has been acting a bit overdramatic. It’s not like the eldest brother is going to sleep with that Xu Yiyi. She should at least trust our elder brother a bit more."

"You have the tact of the size of a damn teaspoon, second brother," Bai Meiyue snapped back. "It’s not about whether he is going to do something with Xu Yiyi or not. It’s about Tong Huan being insecure. As long as Elder Brother says a few words of comfort to her or at least expresses himself properly in front of her, then she would be able to understand that he truly cares for her. But he hadn’t done that. Who can you blame if Elder Brother doesn’t even know that he needs to do something so simple?"

Bai Jixuan was helpless when he heard Bai Meiyue’s response. He had to admit that what Bai Meiyue said was indeed correct.

But–

"How can you say that my tact is the size of a teaspoon? I understand Tong Huan better than my older brother."
