Esper X Family – Chapter 365 – I Think I Saw My Father and Uncle?

Ye Yao pretended to sleep for an entire day!

She only woke up the next evening.

After all, the duration of her fission body was almost up. There was no way she was going to waste her time sleeping.

A full day’s sleep should be enough time for the Countermeasures Bureau to recover.

“Cat! You’re finally awake ¹ ! I thought you were going to die.”

The moment Ye Yao opened her eyes, Fang Tang pounced on her.

An entire day’s worth of sugar exploded at once.

Sickeningly sweet!

Ye Yao pushed Fang Tang’s face away with one hand, looking perfectly composed.

“I’m hungry. What’s for dinner?”

Fang Tang blinked.

“Right, what’s for dinner?”

“I guess I’ll have some Sugar Cube ² In case you forgot, Fang Tang literally means Sugar Cube. . I need to replenish my blood sugar.”

“Cat, you can only lick, not bite.”

Saying this, Fang Tang extended her arm toward Ye Yao’s mouth, her face full of expectation.

The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds.

Ye Yao stared at the fair, tender arm before her, suddenly hit with the urge to take a bite.

If she were a biting cat, Fang Tang’s arm would’ve already been oozing with “syrup”.

That aside, Ye Yao’s teeth were pretty sharp.

“Forget it, I don’t have insulin on me. I wouldn’t dare to lick.”

Meanwhile, Luo Jianhua and the others finally snapped out of it.

“S-Sister is confused from hunger! Wait right here, I’ll go get you something to eat right away!”

Luo Jianhua dashed out the door, demonstrating her reliability.

Wu Mi and Mo Qiuli came over to the bedside, taking the opportunity to pull Fang Tang, who was still sprawled on Ye Yao, down with them.

“Ye Yao, how are you feeling? Any discomfort?”

“No, just a bit hungry.”

Ye Yao smiled as she answered Wu Mi.

“Um… do you need me to transform into a Magical Girl? Maybe that’ll cheer you up…”

“I’m not Little Mo, and I’m feeling perfectly fine right now.”

Ye Yao reached out and patted both of their heads, a move right out of a visual novel strategy guide!

The two lolis immediately quieted down.

After all, she hadn’t mentioned her plan to sleep for a whole day to anyone.

It was purely her own whimsical decision.

It was indeed her fault for making them worry.

Just then, Luo Jianhua walked back in, carrying a bowl of steaming hot porridge ³ .

“Sister, have some porridge first. Once you’ve settled a bit, you can eat something else.”

“Mm-hmm, I’ll take your advice.”

Luo Jianhua naturally took on the task of feeding her. Despite being such a petite girl, she gave off a distinct feeling of a good wife and loving mother.

She’s like a Loli Mama, understand?

It seemed that among these little ones, Luo Jianhua was the best at taking care of others.

After all, she had been Ye Yao’s “little nanny” right from the start.

Although Ye Yao wasn’t weak enough to need spoon-feeding, Luo Jianhua seemed quite happy to do it, so she could only act as a sickly loli.

She had saved the world and ushered in a new era. Surely she was allowed to indulge a little, right?

Ye Yao quickly finished the bowl of congee and asked Luo Jianhua for another.

She wasn’t a terminally ill patient. Since she was hungry, she should eat her fill.

It was okay to pretend to be frail for a bit, but she couldn’t fool herself into actually suffering.

When you’re hungry, you must fill your stomach!

As for whether the Countermeasures Bureau would notice anything unusual, they probably wouldn’t be concerned about that.

They would likely be more interested in whether she remembered the events of that time.

Just as Ye Yao finished saying, “I’m full”, a few people who looked like doctors walked in.

They looked like a team of specialists, which felt quite intimidating.

Ye Yao couldn’t help but ask.

“Um… do I have some terminal illness? How much longer do I have to live?”

The lead doctor had just organized his thoughts and nearly choked on those words.

Don’t say that, don’t say that!

Such words are ominous!

“Ahem, ahem. Little friend Ye Yao… according to our examinations, you simply fell asleep from exhaustion. There are no abnormalities in your physical data whatsoever. There’s no need to worry about any illnesses.”

That was true.

According to the Countermeasures Bureau’s comprehensive examination, Ye Yao’s body showed no lingering effects.

There wasn’t even any sign of physical exhaustion. Logically, there was nothing wrong, and she could’ve woken up at any time.

Yet, she ended up sleeping for a full day, scaring the staff in charge of the examination half to death.

They thought it was a malfunction with the equipment or a problem of her ability.

Thankfully, it was just a day of sleep.

If she had slept for a few more days, the entire team would all have to take their own lives.

Of course, that was just a joke. While they might not be “optimized ⁴ Corporate speak for “laid off”. ”, the pressure on them would be immense.

Now that Ye Yao had successfully woken up and seemed perfectly normal, it was a huge relief for them.

Ye Yao nodded thoughtfully.

“I see. So, can I be discharged anytime?”

“Of course. But before that, someone will come to ask you a few questions. After that, you can go through the discharge procedures.”

As the doctors in white coats left, two young people walked in about ten seconds later.

Familiar figures!

Yu Yayin and Lu Yan?

Why is the Countermeasures Bureau still working these two young workers so hard?

Ye Yao felt a bit speechless.

She had thought that a few old-timers would show up. How boring.

But one thing was for sure: someone was definitely eavesdropping next door.

There was no way those two mysterious speed bumps would miss this.

“Ye Yao~ Remember us?”

Yu Yayin started off with a universal line.

It left Ye Yao utterly speechless.

“…I haven’t lost my memory. What do you want to ask?”

Lu Yan stepped forward, took out a tablet, and got into work mode.

It felt like the leaders had saddled them with another tough job again.

Even without being told everything, he could piece together the general idea from the fragmented information.

Especially since almost the whole world knew the word “Tong Yao” now.

The “deity” who could change the world might be right in front of them. The pressure was definitely real.

Lu Yan took a deep breath, recalling how the leader had patted him on the shoulder and said:

“The path has been paved for you. Whether you can withstand the pressure and seize this promotion opportunity is up to you. If you can’t handle it, we can find someone else to take over.”

The pressure was indeed high. Fortunately, they were young, much like college students willing to do anything for credits.

Looking at prompts appearing in real-time on the tablet, Lu Yan began his questions.

“Do you remember what happened before you fell asleep?”

As soon as he said this, Ye Yao fell into thought.

In the next room, Lou Wei and Fu Qi focused intently.

Although Tu Sheng had said that things wouldn’t take a turn for the worse, she hadn’t said that nothing would happen at all.

The Countermeasures Bureau still had to be prepared to counter whatever came their way.

They saw the white-haired girl lower her head and murmur thoughtfully.

“Hmm… I think I saw my sister, and then she merged with me… After that, my consciousness got all fuzzy, like I’d drunk some really strong liquor.”

Lu Yan’s expression was strange.

You’ve never even had a drink, and that’s the analogy you use?

But this suggested that she wasn’t completely unaware.

The key was how much she actually remembered.

Lou Wei and Fu Qi also realized this.

“Lou Wei, if we’ve been exposed, do we still need to keep hiding?”

“It depends.”

Just then, Ye Yao’s next sentence finally came.

“After that, I think I saw my father and uncle?”

In the neighbouring room, Fu Qi’s body trembled, and his vision went dark.

We’re screwed!

It’s gotten warmer, and I can at least wear short sleeves now. The cold has finally left my side!
