Chapter 53 - Being Left Alone at Home to Look After the House or Whatever, This Empress Absolutely Refuses

Bleeeaargh~~~

Inside the bathroom, a pale-faced Long Yue was leaning over the toilet, continuously pouring 'rainbows' into it.

“Honestly. I told you not to force yourself, but you just had to finish that milk tea.”

“If you want to eat, you can just go again in the future. It's not like you'll never get to eat it again.”

Lin Fan walked into the bathroom and crouched down beside her, gently rubbing her back with one hand while holding a cup of water in the other.

Not only had she thrown up all over Zhou Yan's car, but on the way home, she had also managed to throw up all over him too.

It had been over half an hour since he brought her home. For that entire half-hour, she had been leaning over the toilet vomiting, having pretty much returned everything she had eaten earlier.

“It was almost 300 yuan per person. This Empress thought that of course, the more you eat, the better the deal…”

Long Yue said pitifully, her face pale and weak.

288 for one person, that's 864 yuan for three people! That's almost enough to buy a new phone! If she didn't eat a lot, she couldn't accept it!

“You go to a buffet to enjoy yourself, not to eat back the cost, Your Majesty the Empress.”

“Some money can't be saved. Eating like this just hurts your body; the loss outweighs the gain.”

Lin Fan exasperatedly handed her the water.

“Here, rinse your mouth first, then drink the rest.”

Gurgle gurgle.

Long Yue took a sip of water, rinsed her mouth and spat it out, then drank the rest.

After drinking some water and resting for a moment, some color returned to her face. Looking at the remnants of the 'colorful rainbow' on Lin Fan's clothes, she couldn't help but feel guilty and said listlessly:

“Sorry, Demon Sovereign. It seems This Empress has caused you trouble…”

“It's no big deal for me. The clothes can just be washed.”

Lin Fan glanced at his own clothes, unconcerned, then couldn't help but think of Zhou Yan's 'life-is-not-worth-living' expression.

“But… Yanzi seems pretty upset…”

Long Yue: “…”

“Demon Sovereign, please apologize to him on behalf of This Empress. This Empress didn't mean to throw up in his car…” Long Yue said guiltily.

Right after finishing the buffet and the milk tea, she had only felt a little bloated and had trouble walking, but otherwise felt fine.

It was only after she got in the car that she started to feel more and more unwell. Her body gradually grew cold, and she kept hiccuping. With every hiccup, she felt an urge to retch.

Although she had tried her absolute hardest not to throw up in the car, in the end, she couldn't hold on.

She had heard that this thing called a 'car' was a rather valuable item in this world…

“Don't worry, I already apologized to him for you earlier.”

“Yanzi won't mind. He'll sleep on it and forget about it by tomorrow.”

Lin Fan comforted her, took the water cup from her hand, and was just about to turn and leave the bathroom when he stopped, turned back, and asked:

“By the way, in a couple of days, This Sovereign and Yanzi are going to a class reunion. Do you want to go with us?”

“Hmm? Your class reunion, Demon Sovereign? Can This Empress go too?”

She had heard Lin Fan and Zhou Yan's conversation in the car just now, so she knew about their class reunion arrangement in a couple of days.

But she hadn't expected the Demon Sovereign to actually invite her too…?

“It should be fine. I've heard that in previous years, people have brought their family members along to the reunion. It's just bringing one more person, it shouldn't be a problem.”

Hearing this, Long Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a look of disdain.

“But This Empress is not your family member, Demon Sovereign.”

“Then we'll just pretend you are,” Lin Fan said nonchalantly.

“Hmm…”

Long Yue grew pensive, her face showing hesitation.

“This Empress doesn't know any of your classmates, Demon Sovereign. If I went, it seems there wouldn't be much for me to do.”

“Just think of it as going to freeload a meal. There will be all sorts of high-class cuisine and such; the quality won't be comparable to today's buffet.”

“High-class cuisine...”

As soon as she heard 'high-class cuisine,' Long Yue's quieted heart began to stir restlessly again.

She had just thrown up basically everything she had eaten, and her stomach felt completely empty. It seemed she could eat again.

Usually, she can't bear to eat overly expensive food. If she could go and freeload a meal, that would seem pretty good...

“If you don't want to go, that's fine too. But in that case, I'll have to trouble you to stay at home and look after the house by yourself, okay?”

Seeing Long Yue hesitate, Lin Fan assumed she didn't want to go and didn't press her further.

The main reason he had specifically asked if she wanted to go was because of that last time when he came home very late and saw her sitting all alone in the dark, eating instant noodles. It was a somewhat pitiful sight.

But now, he felt that even if she were left at home alone, she should be able to take care of herself completely.

Long Yue pressed her chubby cheek against the rim of the toilet, her expression thoughtful. Then, she muttered under her breath:

“Being left at home to look after the house or whatever, This Empress doesn't want that at all…”

As she spoke, her gaze firmed, and she instantly made a decision.

“Alright. Since you've so sincerely invited This Empress, Demon Sovereign, then This Empress will reluctantly accompany you~”

Rather than staying at home all alone, it's better to go along and freeload a meal and save money on dinner. Why wouldn't I do that~

She's clearly the one who doesn't want to be left alone, but she insists on saying it's to accompany him…

Lin Fan smiled, not exposing her, and instead asked with concern:

“Are you feeling better now? Do you want me to help you take another day off tomorrow?”

“No need. It was just a little throw-up, that's all. This Empress is fine now.”

Long Yue pursed her small lips, full of confidence.

The words had barely left her mouth when a wave of nausea hit her stomach, and she leaned over the toilet and began to throw up again.

Bleeeaargh~~~

Lin Fan: “…”

“Still saying you're fine… I better go get you some digestive aid tablets to take.”

“Mm… please…”

Long Yue replied listlessly, still leaning over the toilet.

Lin Fan gently patted her back and, after she was more or less done throwing up, went back to the living room to rummage through the small medicine box.

A short while later, he returned to her side with a fresh cup of water and the tablets.

“Here, same as before. First, rinse your mouth, and then take the medicine.”

Gurgle gurgle.

After Long Yue took the tablets with the water, Lin Fan pulled out a few tissues from the bathroom and helped her wipe the corners of her mouth.

“Alright, you should be fine after taking the medicine and getting some rest. Can you get up?”

“Mm…”

Long Yue tried to get up, but her body was weak and exhausted from throwing up. Just standing up was a great struggle.

Lin Fan shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to carry her back to the bedroom himself.

Long Yue leaned quietly in his arms, and in her heart, she found that she had unconsciously grown a little used to the feeling of being held by the Demon Sovereign...

“In your condition, you should just rest well tomorrow. Don't even think about streaming; I've already requested a day off for you.”

Lin Fan placed Long Yue on the bed and covered her with the quilt.

“Mm…”

Long Yue was no longer stubborn and obediently accepted Lin Fan's arrangement, sighing to herself in her heart.

Who would have thought that she, the Empress, would ever be in such a miserable state.

This mortal body is truly so fragile.

It was just a matter of eating a tiny bit too much, that's all. How could this body not handle it...?
