Chapter Sixty: Absolutely Won't Care About You
Li Rouyue was holding a book on "Economic Law" behind his back, and then he felt that doing business really required talent, because an entrepreneur who starts from scratch often needs to make many decisions, judgments, and choices. These decisions, judgments, and choices may be synthesized from countless chaotic information, and finally recognize an industry to start with, like An Zhi's father, it's quite impressive.
Li Luyu felt that he was definitely not suitable for entrepreneurship, just like now he should have a great chance to create wealth with his unique advantages, but he didn't know how to start, how to choose and how to realize the ideas in his mind.
He thought he'd just be content with being a certified public accountant, so others would tell him what to do and then he'd just do those things well.
Isn't it really unimpressive? Li Rouyou rubbed his head, yawned, and suddenly felt that the main reason was that the economic pressure was not as great as before. Most importantly, his lifespan was much longer than ordinary people's, so his mindset would undergo a huge change. Just like in the past, he might have especially admired successful people like An Zhi Shui's father, taking them as role models to learn from, but now he wouldn't. After all, no matter how successful they were, it was hard for them to live beyond a hundred years.
In Annan Xiu's eyes, a thousand years were nothing, and even old people didn't count.
When those who dominated the world one by one passed away, I would still be calmly watching the changes of this world.
Compared to the infinite mysteries of the universe, what's the point of struggling for a big business? As long as I have myself and my sister living in peace and contentment, relying on each other is enough.
Li Luyu felt that she and her sister had been inseparable since birth, and this situation would never change, it would always be like this.
He wore headphones and listened to songs, which made him feel less anxious about achieving quick success. He read books with twice the effort but half the results, probably also because he had eaten the Longevity Fruit.
He closed the book and recalled the content before, clearly replaying it in his mind. When he opened his eyes, he found Annan Xiu looking at her popsicle with difficulty, seemingly having a hard time deciding whether to eat it or not.
"If you don't want to eat it, then just throw it away. It's not like we need you to save money." Li Luyou had never counted how many ice pops Annanxiu ate in a day, but the trash can at home was always filled with ice pop wrappers, and he rarely saw her without an ice pop in her mouth.
Li Rouyou had no choice but to go buy ice sticks at wholesale prices, four for a yuan, but of course he still told Annanxiu that they were fifty cents each, otherwise her understanding of the world's economic foundation would be disrupted again.
When Li Luyu said that, Annanxiu's originally furrowed eyebrows immediately relaxed and she ate the popsicle in big mouthfuls, leaving one stick in her hand which she waved at Li Luyu in a threatening manner.
Li Rouyu held a book in front of her eyes, this stubborn and awkward little girl, really can't do anything about it.
An Nanxiu regretted eating the popsicle, Li Luyou hated her to death. Why did he have to look at her? She didn't want to eat it in the first place and was going to throw it away, but he had to look at her. She just didn't want to follow his lead, so she quickly ate it up.
An Nan Xiu only felt a mass of cold air falling from her mouth to her stomach, gathering there and feeling icy cool. Then her whole body shook slightly, her muscles tensing up like cramps.
Annan hid in the corner of the imperial concubine's position, holding a pillow and pressing it against her chest. She thought she must have done something very foolish, but this was not her fault, it was all Li Luyu's mistake.
The little swallow on TV was still nagging, but Annanxiu didn't have the heart to watch anymore. She only felt a severe tightness in her chest, and that cold breath gradually condensed and moved towards her lower abdomen.
Should she take some elixirs? An Zhi's mind was in a state of confusion, carefully thinking about the changes in her body and the effects of those elixirs. Her current body was getting closer to that of an Earthling, but those elixirs were developed based on the physical structure of people from the Tianyun Realm. She could feel that her current condition involved fundamental changes to her body, but she hadn't dissected any native inhabitants and wasn't clear what kind of elixir she should take or in what dosage.
She is now too weak, but those elixirs of hers, as the eldest princess of the Annan imperial family, are all extremely rare and precious, and can't withstand the powerful healing abilities of those elixirs at all.
That cold air spread out from her lower abdomen, as if it had merged into her limbs and bones, and then she began to feel a chill all over her body.
An Nanxiu pressed all the pillows onto herself, her palms were icy cold. The most important and worst thing was that a wave of cramping pain started in her lower abdomen, it was that kind of intermittent pain, at first she could still bear it because it would pass quickly, but soon An Nanxiu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. That kind of pain as if something was squirming under her lower abdomen made her bite her teeth tightly and couldn't make a sound.
Annanxiu wanted to go back to her room, but those slender legs of hers seemed to have a mind of their own and refused to budge, as if they had frozen stiff and were trembling with fear.
How could this be? An Nanxiu remembered that he had reminded himself, but... But who made him look at his own, An Nanxiu's painful tears were about to flow out.
Li Rouyu straightened his body, and his legs kicked onto Annan Xiu's body. Just as he was about to pull back, he found that she seemed to be trembling. He threw down the book in confusion and took a fright at once.
"What's wrong?" Li Luoyu hastily sat up and touched her forehead, no fever, it seemed like she had caught a chill.
Annan Xiu raised her head, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Li Luyu touched it and it became wet and soggy. She glared at him angrily and said nothing to him.
"At this point, do you still think I can understand just by looking at you?" Li Luoyu was exasperated. This stubborn little girl was the most helpless, often being willful to the point of suffering herself.
An Nanxiu completely ignored him, who let him go and have a meal with An Zhishui alone, knowing that she didn't like An Zhishui. Who made him not bring her along? Who made him spend so much time eating with An Zhishui before coming back...
She could only press her abdomen tightly, stubbornly resisting Li Luyu. Many times she had learned to compromise and not calculate according to the identity of the princess's mansion, but she felt that this matter could not be easily compromised, otherwise... An Shui might snatch away her Li Luyu.
The little girl has already taken Li Luoyu as her own private property, who made him her personal guard? He shouldn't be like this, he shouldn't be with An Zhi Shui and make her unhappy.
Li Luyu saw that she was holding her lower abdomen, although young girls' menstrual cycles are not regular after their first period and it's hard to predict when they will come, but thinking about how fine she was just a moment ago... Li Luyu understood, she had been eating the ice pop so hastily earlier in order to show off her sensuality, this kind of ice pop is purely made of ice, normally you would slowly lick it until it melts into water and swallow it without any issues. But swallowing the whole ice block like that means letting your internal organs melt it, and human internal organs are the most fragile, how could she not catch a chill by doing such a thing? And on top of that, it's her period, the adverse effects will show up immediately.
Normally, Li Luoyu would have teased her about it being her own fault, but seeing her like this, how could he laugh? Generally, menstrual cramps are nothing to worry about. Although the more severe ones might make one feel like they're dying, they won't cause any major problems. However, this kind of sudden cold-induced pain, if not treated promptly, might just lead to a chronic illness.
"Do you have any painkillers?" Li Luyu hastily shouted.
Annan Xiu was still stubbornly insisting on it, Li Luyu was really afraid of her, said she didn't care about him anymore, and even didn't want to live.
When he ran into such a little girl, Li Luoyu had no way to deal with it and couldn't ignore her either. He hastily ran to the bathroom, fetched a basin of hot water and put it under her feet, then poured a glass bottle of hot water and stuffed it into her lower abdomen.
"Endure for a moment, if it doesn't get better, we'll have to go to the hospital." Li Luyou went to make some brown sugar water again.
A big bag of brown sugar, An Nanxiu had never touched it before. Given her fondness for mildly sweet foods, she must not have disliked the brown sugar water, but rather thought that if she drank it, Li Luyu would discover that she had come there.
"Is it a bit better?" Seeing Annan Xiu still frowning, Li Luyu put the brown sugar water aside and decided to take a look at the situation.
Annan Xiu still ignored him, turning her head away, closing her eyes tightly, and her long eyelashes trembled constantly. Her small body curled up weakly into a ball.
Li Rouyu looked down and saw that she had actually thrown the thermos aside.
"Are you tired of living?" Li Lu was furious, this An Nanxiu was simply impossible to deal with, like a stone in a latrine pit, hard and smelly, she had never seen anyone with such a bad temper.
"Mind your own business, go play with An Zhi Shui... I won't bother with you..." An Nan Xiu hummed weakly.
Li Ruyou really wanted to pick her up and throw her onto the sofa, then slap that palm-sized little butt of hers hard, teach her a lesson, was she making things difficult for herself like this?
Li Luoyu stuffed a thermos into her crotch and Annanxiu grabbed it away.
Li Luoyu squeezed in again.
Annan Xiu took it away again.
After several rounds, Annan Xiu still didn't let Li Luyu get the upper hand. She looked at Li Luyu with a pale face and a fierce expression, but without her usual noble demeanor as a princess, panting heavily.
Li Rouyou got impatient, picked her up, and Annanxiu struggled desperately, vowing not to say another word, biting her lip and resisting silently, waving her two small fists non-stop to hit him.
At this time, she couldn't even begin to contend with Li Luyou's strength, and merely bit her own lip until it turned red.
Li Rouyou held her in his arms, sitting on the sofa, he didn't say a word either, just staring at her, then hugged her slender body tightly in his arms, his strong arms grasped her wildly beating hands, quickly stuffed the hot water bottle into her lower abdomen, and pressed the other hand on her thigh, not letting her move.
Li Rouyou was also exhausted, this physical strength is nothing, the key is to be afraid of hurting her, must pay extra attention to the extent, and also get angry, what's wrong with An Nanxiu?
Li Luyu, wait until I'm done with you, then I'll electrocute you to death, turning you into a huge piece of roasted meat! An Nanxiu made a silent vow, her eyes wide open and staring at Li Luyu as if she wanted to stare him to shame.
Li Luoyu glared back at him without backing down.
Two people were intently counting each other's eyelashes, with a look of frustration and annoyance that they couldn't get an accurate count.
The warm hot water bottle was a bit scalding, making Annan's delicate skin feel a slight burning pain, but it dispelled the cramps in her lower abdomen.
Still in pain, but much more bearable, An Nanxiu never thought that a thermos would be able to solve her dilemma.
But this is no excuse for Li Luyu.
If Li Luyou had just gone to eat with An Zhishui without bringing her, An Nanxiu would not have been so angry now. The key is that Mingming and Li Banyan had agreed, but Li Banyan did not keep the promise.
What's more, Li Luoyu did such a thing and didn't even come to explain or apologize after he came back. He looked like he had gone to play with An Zhishui and had nothing to do with An Nanxiu at all. How could An Nanxiu not be angry?
So according to Annanxiu's logic, since it's like that, what does her stomachache have to do with him, don't want him to take care of her, don't want him to pity himself, stinky Li Ruyi.
Li Luyu and she stared at each other for a while, but in the end, Li Luyu retreated. When it came to staring, being coquettish, and throwing tantrums, Princess Chang's skills were unmatched by Li Luyu.
If who is more awkward and absurd decides who inherits the throne, Li Luyu thinks that besides her, who else is suitable for the throne of Tianyun Empire?
Li Luyu thinks that if there is such a female emperor, for the sake of the Tianyun Empire and even the Tianyun Divine Realm, all the people who have been picked from the trees should think about it. Li Luyu should play the role of altruistic humanism with great selflessness, and should think of ways to keep Annan Xiu, just let her flash on earth and spare your compatriots.
Li Luyu couldn't understand, what were the people of the Annan royal family thinking? Letting Annan Xiu inherit the throne, was reality really so absurd, and those palace fight dramas were all made up by the lower-class people's idea that even the emperor uses a golden shovel?
But now is not the time to worry about that, the throne of the Tianyun Empire has nothing to do with him, he just needs to take care of Annan Xiu's injury.
An Nanxiu's body no longer trembled, nor was she as cold as before. After all, the two had fought a battle, but that would only put her at a greater disadvantage. Li Luyu couldn't tell if she was better off or not now, and even if he asked her, she wouldn't say.
Li Luyu tightly hugged her, Annanxiu's small body was soft and weak, her entire person was buried in his chest, the little girl's soft and delicate chest was squeezed high by both arms, the nightgown strap slipped off one side, revealing a small half of tender skin, making Li Luyu quickly look away.
Who would have thought that he averted his gaze, but saw even more, the nightgown slipped up, and the entire leg and thigh were exposed, the white and tender skin radiating a glow. Fortunately, she wasn't wearing those sexy little panties that only mature women would wear today, just a pure white cotton underpants.
Li Luyu felt like there was something stirring inside his body, An Nanxiu had caught a chill and he had a fever.
He didn't dare to look around anymore, pulling her nightgown to cover herself, while silently reminding himself that she was only fourteen years old, he wasn't a weird uncle, not a pervert, his thoughts had to be healthy, his mindset had to be correct, she was like his own little sister from a few years ago.
Thinking of this, I feel much cleaner in my heart. It's better to regard Annan Xiu as a younger sister. No matter what, he won't have any thoughts about his younger sister.
He raised his head to watch TV and held An Nanxiu in his arms while watching TV.
Annan Xiu's cheeks had a hint of color, she had been staring at him, how could his reaction not have noticed.
She also noticed that it's hard to bear now, but he held her like this, not because An Nanxiu didn't want to struggle, nor was she reluctant to leave this embrace that made her feel much more at ease, but simply couldn't break free.
Annan lowered his head.
Li Luyu didn't have the heart to watch TV anymore and immediately noticed this small change, she no longer glared at people, her attitude had obviously softened.
Li Luyou couldn't always be at odds with her like this, seeing her take a small step back first. Li Luyou of course became more proactive, no longer silently resisting, trying to relax her a bit, "Will you drink the brown sugar water obediently by yourself, or do I feed it to you?"
Annanshu didn't make a sound, she wouldn't answer such questions, obediently drinking? She wasn't a little kid, as if she was some kind of mischievous and playful little girl. Annanshu wouldn't listen to him coaxing her like that, of course, she also didn't want him to feed her, no way.
Li Luoyu picked up the hot sugar water, put the spoon to his mouth and blew on it, his lips touched the edge of the spoon, which was no longer scalding.
The spoon was placed at Annanxiu's mouth, and the little girl's delicate red lips parted slightly as she drank.
"How disgusting......" An Nanxiu hummed softly, her cheeks flushing a deep red.
Seeing her like this, Li Luyu couldn't help but lower his head and gently touch her forehead with the tip of his nose, smiling.
