Chapter 599 - 186: Minor Breakthrough
Lu Sisi thought for a moment, then chuckled softly and said, "He knows what he’s doing. If he’s so immersed in the game, he must have a special reason. Don’t worry, he’ll be fine."
The Landlady looked at Lu Sisi’s young face, and for no reason, felt a bit of bitterness in her heart. However, she suppressed this guilty feeling, forced a smile, and left.
Right, what position did she have to say anything or interfere?
They are just a young couple, not even bothered themselves.
His girlfriend even said it’s okay.
But the mindset that she barely pushed down re-emerged when she sat back in front of the computer, looked up, and saw...
Lu Sisi was using chopsticks to pick up noodles and feeding them into the mouth of Chen Yan, who was completely absorbed in the game...
Seeing this scene, the Landlady’s heart gave a hard tug.
This girl, is she crazy?!
Who serves someone like this?!
Feeding noodles mouthful by mouthful, even blowing them till they’re not too hot before feeding!
The eggs too!
Spinach had to be broken with chopsticks into a size fit for the mouth before feeding over...
And the noodle soup... fed with a spoon mouthful by mouthful...
No! Do you want to just use a straw to feed him?!
It’s 2025, girl!!
The way you’re serving him is more excessive than a feudal maid!

By four in the afternoon the next day, Lu Sisi was dozing off on the table.
She didn’t talk to Chen Yan, as he gamed, she stayed beside him. After a while, she would open software on the computer to binge-watch some dramas.
In one day and night, Lu Sisi finished a recently popular historical idol drama and watched a season of a variety show.
During this time, she interrupted Chen Yan only once, to let him stop and eat and go to the bathroom.
She even went out once, to a damp place to buy a pack of wet wipes.
After returning, she used the wet wipes to clean Chen Yan’s face that hadn’t been washed for two days and nights.
The Landlady looked on with a heart full of bitterness, but her gaze towards Chen Yan was even more filled with concern.
No! Is the game really so fun?!
Is it necessary to grind like this?!
Can you endure it?!
·
Others might not endure it, but Chen Yan could!
He truly gathered all his attention together, fully immersing himself in the game.
And well... Civilization is inherently addicting!!
Those who dislike it, truly dislike it.
But for those who like it, once they start playing, they get completely absorbed, highly addicted!

On the morning of their fourth day at the internet café, Chen Yan finally let out a long breath and put down the mouse.
He turned to look at Lu Sisi beside him.
The girl’s face also had a somewhat tired look. She had just dozed off a few hours ago, leaning on the chair, and while sleeping, her head lolled to one side, towards Chen Yan.
However, she was already awake at this moment, watching a variety show on the screen.
It was obvious that she was watching indifferently.
As soon as Chen Yan put the mouse down, Lu Sisi took off her headphones and looked at him, smiling, "Want to take a break?"
"Yeah, let’s take a break." Chen Yan nodded.
"Okay." Lu Sisi smiled wearily.
Chen Yan reached out and touched the girl’s cheek and suddenly laughed, "Why isn’t your face oily at all?"
Lu Sisi smiled, "I used wet wipes to clean my face."
Chen Yan touched his own cheek and nodded, "You’ve worked hard these past days. Let’s take a break."
Chen Yan took Lu Sisi’s hand and stood up, and the two walked towards the counter.
"Landlady, time to settle the bill!" Chen Yan said with a grin to the Landlady.
The Landlady threw a handful of melon seed shells at him with a huff, "Settle your ghost! You’re the Landlord, how dare I charge you?!"
Then she showed a concerned expression, "Hurry up and go get some rest! How long have you not slept, cultivating or something?!"
"Yeah, just cultivating." Chen Yan replied with a smile.
The Landlady rolled her eyes.
"By the way, the noodles were delicious. But for the eggs, next time make them into fried poached eggs. I’m kinda tired of water-boiled ones."
"Fried poached eggs! You think this is a restaurant here, and you want to order dishes?!" The Landlady got up as if to hit him, but Chen Yan had already laughed and pulled Lu Sisi out the door.
Stepping out of the internet café, Lu Sisi looked at Chen Yan, "Are we going home?"
"No, not going home." Chen Yan sighed, "The cultivation isn’t finished yet. Going home to sleep and then coming back is too much of a waste of time."
Saying this, he pulled Lu Sisi along, walking by the street, turning onto another street, and went to a chain business hotel, booking a room.
After entering the room, they washed up and lay on the bed, and Chen Yan touched Lu Sisi’s cheek, holding the girl tightly in his arms, "Don’t worry, I know you’re tired too, we’ll just take a good sleep—over these days, I know you’ve been really exhausted."
Lu Sisi didn’t speak, just gently stroked Chen Yan’s forehead.
A moment later, both of them fell asleep.
·
At nine in the evening, the Landlady sat behind the counter, wide-eyed as Chen Yan and Lu Sisi walked in hand-in-hand.
"Landlady, two machines please." Chen Yan said with a wide smile, making the Landlady roll her eyes again.
"I mean, are you that addicted to the game? Four days without sleep, just went back for a day, and now you’re here again? Have you had any sleep?"
Chen Yan pouted, "Slept enough. From morning sleep till eight in the evening, a whole twelve hours, didn’t even dream, slept so well."
