241 This Pretty Boy Will Only Be a Burden to You

“How do you know that I’ll definitely be chosen?”

“Of course, I know!” The woman’s face was full of confidence. “There aren’t many people in Haidao City with your looks and aura. As long as you give it a try, you’ll definitely be selected! So, do you want to try it out?” When the woman asked this, her eyes were shining with certainty.

In the woman’s eyes, no woman would be able to remain unmoved after hearing what she had just said. After all, in the post-apocalyptic world, everyone’s life was difficult, especially those country bumpkins from small bases. It was not easy to get a chance to rise up the ranks, so whoever did not fight for it was a fool.

Just as the woman was brimming with confidence, she heard Du Yue coldly say, “I won’t participate in it.”

The woman’s smile froze on her face, and the certainty in her eyes was replaced by shock. “What did you say? It’s such a good opportunity. Why don’t you want it?”

Before Du Yue could say anything, the woman glared at He Xing. “Is he the reason you don’t want to go?”

He Xing was speechless. ‘Why are you glaring at me?’

The woman’s face was filled with disappointment. She pointed at He Xing and said, “Miss, you can’t be so smitten with love. You can’t let such a pretty boy ruin your bright future. This is the apocalypse! It’s no longer the era of the past where people only needed to drink to their heart’s content. In this world, which one of us isn’t giving it our all to survive? If you have the chance to get close to one of the best men in this base, you should kick this pretty boy away. If you lose your mind today and make the wrong decision, you’ll definitely regret it in the future!”

Du Yue chuckled. “The man in front of you isn’t some pretty boy. He’s one of the best men in the world in my heart. As for that celestial lord of yours, he’s not worthy.”

“You… Do you even know what you’re saying?” The woman was so shocked that she walked straight to Du Yue from the cashier. She stammered in front of her for a long time, but she could not find her thoughts.

Du Yue ignored her expression and continued, “By the way, I have something to ask you. Is polygamy allowed in your base?”

When the woman heard this question, she laughed out loud. “It’s the apocalypse Now. No one even cares about murder and arson. Isn’t it natural for a capable person to marry a few more wives?”

Not to mention polygamy, if one could reach that position, one could find as many partners as one wanted. No one would care, and neither would anyone have the power to meddle in these affairs. Then again, resources were scarce now, and most people could not eat their fill. Their physiques were also poor, and fewer and fewer people could get pregnant. Even if they could, they might not be able to give birth. It had been three years, and there was not a single newborn in the base.

For the sake of improving the fertility rate, the base not only did not limit the number of wives a man could have but even encouraged polygamy. If someone could give birth to a child, the base would give them extra subsidies. Those whose families were too poor to eat would give their daughters and sisters to those who were capable in exchange for some food or integrity points.

One should not take pity on those women. They were all skin and bones from hunger. If someone with ability was willing to take them in and give them a meal, they’d be more than happy to go for it! The woman looked at Du Yue with a complicated expression. Only this kind of woman who was beautiful but brainless would give up a great future for such a pretty boy. It was obvious that she did not know the suffering of the human world.

Although the woman did not say these words out loud, her undisguised disdain was clear to Du Yue. However, Du Yue did not care what she thought. Having gotten to know everything she wanted to, Du Yue beckoned He Xing to leave.

The woman in the shop looked at the backs of the two people leaving and glared at them fiercely. “Your lovestruck brain is really hopeless! Someone like you won’t realize your mistake till it hits you on the head!”

Du Yue walked in front while He Xing followed behind her. The two of them walked for a long time before they stopped. He Xing had not spoken a word since they left the grain shop. Du Yue looked at him in confusion. “Are you unhappy?”

He Xing looked aggrieved and even pouted. “She said I’m a pretty boy.”

It was true that He Xing was not a local, but he could still understand the language of the blue planet. He knew that ‘pretty boy’ was not a good term. Du Yue stared at He Xing seriously for a while. “Your skin is fair, and your face is small. It’s not wrong for her to call you a pretty boy.”

He Xing looked at Du Yue in surprise when he heard that. Du Yue was amused by his reaction. “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Seeing Du Yue’s smile, He Xing realized that Du Yue was just teasing him.
