ICTEUWMN Chapter 91.2

[[At the same time, the atmosphere in the Pei family’s living room was incredibly delicate.

The late-night visit from movie empress Fei Wen and her husband, Fu Yanzhi, was filled with tension as they carefully pushed a document toward Pei Jianchuan and his wife.

It turned out that Pei Yan’s genetic profile was an exact match for the genetic cells that Fei Wen and her husband had lost years ago.

Fei Wen had been childless all her life because the only genetic material she had preserved during her prime childbearing years had been lost in an accident, leading to the events that followed.

“But I’m not here to take Pei Yan away from you…”

Looking at the obviously displeased expressions on the faces of Pei Jianchuan and his wife, Fei Wen explained bitterly in a low voice.]]

So when Claudius, who had saved up several chapters to read in one sitting because he had been busy with official duties, read these chapters in one go, he turned to the next page and found… they were over?!

After all that waiting and saving, and it ended here!?

Claudius almost choked in frustration.

[Starship reward x1] [Star Crown: Seriously, how dare you end it here??]

When Star Crown, who had been missing for days, appeared in the comments section with a starship reward, the interstellar readers who had also been wailing in despair rarely found themselves agreeing with the famous commenter.

After all, while Fish Soup Noodles had been spoiling everyone with rapid updates over the past week, he had left the plot hanging at the most critical point before starting the new novel!

[Teacher Fish Soup Noodles! Even Teacher Star Crown is complaining about your cliffhanger, do you hear us? I need to know Pei Yan’s reaction after the confession!]

[I’m also very anxious. He finally confessed, but Pei Yan doesn’t believe it!]

[Am I the only one shocked that the biological parents are finally showing up? And it’s movie Empress Fei Wen! Our Baby Yan is finally going to find his real parents!]

[But what about the adoptive parents? QAQ, wuuu… they raised him with so much love, and now his biological parents are taking him back…]

Whether it was the confession Pei Shen made to his brother Pei Yan on the grand awards night or the sudden arrival of the biological parents, Fei Wen and her husband…each twist crushed the emotions of countless readers and they were urging for more updates.

Even daily updates of ten thousand words weren’t enough to satisfy the audience.

Can’t Teacher Fish Soup Noodles just update all the way to the ending?

However, while the readers were growing increasingly anxious, the old residence was filled with the sound of someone sneezing.

Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, who had stayed up all week to update the old novel and save up chapters for the new one, unexpectedly fell sick.

“This doesn’t make sense…”

Yu Mian wrapped himself in a small blanket and tried to speak, only to sneeze again.

His voice was nasally.

In his previous life, he used to pull all-nighters writing and never got sick… though, to be fair, it did lead to his untimely death.

As Yu Mian thought about this, he sneezed again.

“Young Master Yu Mian, you seem to have a slight fever,” Qiao Ni said worriedly as she held up an electronic thermometer and looked at Yu Mian before glancing at the eldest young master, Huo Ting.

Since Young Master Yu Mian’s arrival, the old master had not only had the mansion’s swimming pool cleaned and prepared for him to soak in but had also arranged for the guest bedroom near the study to be prepared for him.

However, Yu Mian preferred writing in the study, often curling up and falling asleep there, sometimes reverting to his fish form and hiding in the golden conch shell to rest.

No one expected him to fall sick after coming out of the aquarium today.

“Uh, is it really a fever? I feel fine, just a bit sneezy…” Yu Mian muttered stubbornly.

Before he could argue further, Huo Ting took the thermometer, checked it, and touched Yu Mian’s forehead.

Huo Ting confirmed that this little fish indeed had a mild fever.

“It’s a fever. No writing today.”

For some reason, as Huo Ting’s hand rested on his forehead, the heat on Yu Mian’s face seemed to rise further.

But when he heard the order to stop writing, Yu Mian was visibly shocked.

“No way, I can’t stop today! The plot is at such a critical moment. How can I leave it hanging?”

One of the main protagonists had just confessed, and the biological parents had shown up!

But as Yu Mian clung to Huo Ting’s arm, trying to protest, he sneezed hard and immediately deflated before Huo Ting could even say anything.

“Take the day off, take some medicine, and sleep,” Huo Ting said firmly as he supported the clearly overheated Yu Mian.

Yu Mian’s face was slightly flushed as it rested against Huo Ting’s arm. It was obvious he had a fever.

‘Wait, so fish can also get fevers?’

Yu Mian thought about this while blowing his nose and finally slumped in defeat.

—

[A Bowl of Fish Soup Noodles V: Sorry, everyone, no updates today. I have a slight fever and need to rest. I’ll make it up with a double update tomorrow. The new novel’s release might also be delayed by a day.]

The announcement from Fish Soup Noodles, who was known for never missing an update, shocked everyone.

[What? Teacher Fish Soup Noodles is sick? Please go to the hospital! We’re so worried about you!]

[This is shocking! The godlike Fish Soup Noodles is down with a fever. QAQ Could it be that we pushed you too hard with our urges to update? You don’t have to work so hard!]

[I wanted to say this too. With all the rapid updates on “Reborn” and adding on preparations for the new novel, it’s clearly too much.]

For once, the readers who usually urged for updates turned into a caring support group when they saw the announcement.

[Lilith: Fever. Rest. Don’t overwork yourself.]

[Feather Monster: Wait, was it my fault for urging you before? (scratching head) Actually, there’s no rush for food!]

[Stellar Medal: Do you need special medicine? I have some extras at home. I can send them over if you need them.]

Even old acquaintances chimed in on StarBlog afraid that Fish Soup Noodles might collapse or have a more serious issue.

As for the Huanyu editorial department, they were so anxious about Fish Soup Noodles’ unexpected illness that they practically wanted to bring a big gift pack of medicine and send doctors directly to offer on-site treatment.

Especially the deputy chief editor. He couldn’t imagine what would happen to Huanyu if something serious occurred to Fish Soup Noodles.

“Should we reply? The light brain has been ringing nonstop.”

Looking at the flood of messages, Huo Ting was convinced even more of Yu Mian’s strong network of connections.

Maybe it was also because Yu Mian had always had a good personality.

“Can you read them to me…?”

With a thick and nasally voice, Yu Main shrank deeper under the blanket and didn’t want to come out. He had just finished seeing the doctor, taken some medicine, and was feeling drowsy. Then he remembered Huo Ting was there and he could just listen to the messages.

Just as he was about to say never mind, Huo Ting had already started reading them aloud…especially the cute comments under the StarBlog post.

Hearing the comments warmed the sickly Yu Mian’s heart. It felt as though he had gained even more friends after arriving in the interstellar world.

Everyone was so cute.

“But I want to go back to the aquarium. I don’t want to sleep on the bed anymore…”

Drowsy and uncomfortable, Yu Mian felt itchy all over, especially on his fish tail.

Changing back to human form required a significant amount of mental power, but the little fish form always felt the most comfortable.

Huo Ting soon noticed a light golden tail dangling from under the blanket. Obviously, Yu Mian had directly reverted his legs back to a tail after falling ill.

“Aquarium or swimming pool?”

“…Aquarium, inside the conch shell.”

That conch shell again.

It seemed like he really liked it, perhaps because it was a gift from his parents to his grandfather?

But Huo Ting suddenly realized a problem: with the tail now back, how exactly were they supposed to get to the study?

Moreover, Yu Mian had already closed his eyes, his cheeks slightly flushed with fever.

Huo Ting hesitated for a moment before carefully lifting the mermaid by the waist and tail. As always, Yu Mian was incredibly light, and it took no effort to hold him.

Despite being so skilled at cooking, Yu Mian always gave out most of the food to those around him and barely ate anything himself.

“…”

Yu Mian subconsciously flicked his tail. Although his mental power wasn’t as depleted as before, he always got more from Huo Ting, which was very comfortable .

When Huo Ting gently placed him into the water, Yu Mian transformed back into a small golden fish and quickly darted into the conch shell, leaving only a tiny part of his tail outside.

Running his fingers along the glass wall of the tank, Huo Ting gazed at the conch shell where Yu Mian was nestled.

Hopefully, the fever would subside by tomorrow?

This illness did seem a bit unusual.

After all, recalling the previously arranged schedule for using the study, Huo Ting could tell Yu Mian had a long-term bad habit of staying up late.

Was his immune system weaker than before?

Meanwhile, when Huo Yan heard at school that his Brother Yu Mian had a fever, he rushed back to the old residence the moment his holiday began and bolted straight up to the second floor.

“Brother Yu Mian…!”

‘Is he still feverish!?’

As soon as Huo Yan reached the second floor, he found Yu Mian wrapped in a blanket, holding a cup of warm water, and sitting with Qiao Ni and the others watching the live finale of “Heavenly Voice: Rising Star” on the light brain.

“You’re back? Don’t come too close…I’m not fully recovered, and I don’t want to risk infecting you… Ugh!”

Yu Mian tried to stop Huo Yan from rushing over, but the other party still threw himself into his arms like a little cannonball.

“I was so worried about you! Are you still feverish? I’m really strong, so I won’t get sick!”

“The fever’s gone, but my nose is still stuffy. Don’t worry.”

Yu Mian appreciated the concern, though he found his illness this time truly puzzling.

He had never been sick like this before.

Before Huo Yan could release him, Huo Ting, having heard the commotion, came over and pulled Huo Yan away by the collar.

“Cousin! Why did Brother Yu Mian get sick?”

Huo Yan was now interrogating Huo Ting.

Huo Ting, meanwhile, wanted to know the same thing.

“Could it be not from staying up late but from catching a chill in the water a few days ago?”

But could a fish even catch a chill in water?

Holding his cup of hot water, Yu Mian racked his brain trying to figure out the cause of his illness.

However, as he looked at his lightbrain, which was now flooded with messages after being left untouched for a day, Yu Mian quickly posted a new StarBlog to reassure everyone.

[A Bowl of Fish Soup Noodles V: Don’t worry, everyone. After a good night’s sleep, my fever’s gone. I’ll update tonight and officially launch the new book! By the way, is anyone else also watching “Heavenly Voice: Rising Star”? It’s the finale today. [Photo]]

Fish Soup Noodles’ latest StarBlog post instantly eased the concerns of countless worried fans.

After all, recovering from a fever was undoubtedly good news.

[Wait, Teacher Fish Soup Noodles is also watching “Heavenly Voice: Rising Star”? I’m watching too! It’s so nerve-wracking…I wonder if my favorite contestant will win!]

[Me too, but Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, please rest. You don’t need to work so hard on updates tonight!]

[Does the teacher have a favorite contestant? Wow, the photo actually shows my Xiao Kia!]

The photo Yu Mian casually shared happened to be a live shot of “Heavenly Voice: Rising Star”, just as the camera focused on “Ezekias”, the only contestant from an outer star system.

“Ezekias” was quite a mystery.

He seemed like the most indifferent contestant in the group but had exceptional public appeal. His elegant and melodic singing, especially in alien languages, captured countless fans with its lazy yet profound charm.

He had quickly become the breakout star of the show, though many viewers doubted an outer star system contestant could win the championship.

Because of this sense of regret, the fighting power of Ezekias’ fans was quite explosive.

Meanwhile, Claudius, who had been waiting for updates, finally checked Fish Soup Noodles’ StarBlog and learned the author had been sick.

He muttered to himself about the fragile constitution of Federation people, always getting sick, how do they even survive?

Yet he still gave Fish Soup Noodles’ StarBlog a Super Follow.

When his lightbrain chimed again, Claudius clicked on it immediately, only to discover the author was watching some singing competition show.

‘Uh… Huh!?’

Just as Claudius was about to swipe away, his gaze lingered on the photo of Ezekias for a moment longer, and it hit him like a thunderbolt.

Wasn’t that his brother, Kechard, with dyed hair!?

What was he doing on the Federation Star!?

Back at the old residence, Huo Ting also noticed Yu Mian’s latest StarBlog and frowned slightly.

“You’re still not fully recovered, and now you’re planning to live broadcast?”

Yu Mian had sent Huo Ting a detailed menu plan for the new book’s live broadcasts in advance.

“Uh, I’ll just wear a mask while broadcasting.”

Still nasally, Yu Mian replied quite honestly.

After all, barbecue, hot pot, and snail noodles…he couldn’t wait any longer!
