The Empress Wants to Kill

"Ding-dong."

Early in the morning, Zhou Yan arrived at Lin Fan's doorstep and rang the doorbell.

Last night, he suddenly received a message from Lin Fan asking him to come over today if he had time, as he had something to ask of him.

So, he rushed over first thing in the morning.

"Creeak."

The door opened, and Long Yue, with her hair down, rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the person at the door with a confused expression.

Looking at Long Yue, who was wearing cute pajamas and had a beautiful appearance, Zhou Yan was momentarily stunned.

He considered himself to have seen countless beauties and to be unmoved by them, but upon seeing the person before him, he was instantly captivated.

This woman was too ethereally beautiful!

She was practically like a fairy...

"Who are you looking for?" Long Yue asked.

Zhou Yan snapped back to reality, quickly gave an awkward smile, and lowered his head to apologize.

"Sorry, I think I have the wrong..."

With that, Zhou Yan turned around and started walking upstairs, scratching the back of his head while muttering, "Could it be that I haven't been here in too long, and I've even forgotten where Lin Fan lives?"

He had been to Lin Fan's place many times and could find it with his eyes closed. Today was truly strange...

After a few steps, he sensed something was wrong and quickly stopped, turning to look at the room number he had just knocked on.

"That's not right! 520... This is the correct room!"

Zhou Yan's expression changed in surprise, and he returned to the door to examine it carefully again and again.

After reconfirming, he was a thousand percent sure he hadn't made a mistake. This was Lin Fan's home!

But why would a woman open the door...?

"Who was that who knocked just now?"

"Don't know, seemed like they had the wrong door."

"Wrong door...?"

Zhou Yan pressed his ear against the door and vaguely heard conversations inside. The man's voice sounded very similar to Lin Fan's. After a moment of hesitation, he rang the doorbell again.

"Ding-dong."

"Creeak."

The door opened again. This time, Lin Fan opened it.

Seeing that it was Zhou Yan, Lin Fan quickly stepped aside to welcome him.

"Yanzi, I was just thinking if that person was you, and here you are. Come in quickly."

Zhou Yan walked into the room and immediately saw Long Yue sitting at the dining table, eating a fried egg.

Long Yue had a whole fried egg in her mouth, and she blinked her clear, bright eyes. She looked a bit dazed and cute.

"Lin Fan, who is this lady...?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.

"Her? She's a friend of mine."

"Her name is Lin Long Yue," Lin Fan introduced, stepping forward.

Long Yue swallowed the fried egg in one gulp and politely nodded at Zhou Yan.

"Hello."

"Hello, my name is Zhou Yan."

Zhou Yan smiled politely, then his gaze sharpened. He hooked his arm around Lin Fan's shoulder and quickly pulled him to a corner.

"Lin Fan! Tell me honestly, who exactly is she to you!"

"Just a normal friend..."

Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes, his expression clearly saying, "Do you expect me to believe that?" He then swept his gaze across the living room and peeked into the bedroom.

He was shocked by what he saw.

On the king-sized bed, there were clearly two pillows!

"Brother, are you telling me that you two live under the same roof, eat together, sleep in the same bed, she's wearing your pajamas, and you're just 'normal' friends?"

As he spoke, Zhou Yan emphasized the word 'normal' and wore an expression that clearly said, "Are you kidding me?"

Lin Fan fell into an awkward silence, unsure how to explain.

Indeed, from an outsider's perspective, them living together, eating together, and sleeping together made it hard not to think they were a couple. But the problem was, they really weren't...

His relationship with the Empress was particularly complex and difficult to explain clearly.

Seeing Lin Fan remain silent, Zhou Yan took it as his tacit agreement. He pulled Lin Fan closer, feeling both happy for him and filled with envy and jealousy.

"You rascal! You betrayed the revolution and secretly kept a treasure hidden from your brother, that's too much! We promised to be bachelors together, remember!"

"But I can understand, it's all because Sister-in-law is too charming..."

"With Sister-in-law being so beautiful, you're really getting off easy, you brat!"

"She's really not..."

Lin Fan's weak protest.

However, Zhou Yan didn't believe him at all. A brilliant smile spread across his face, and he turned back to greet Long Yue enthusiastically:

"Hello, Sister-in-law~"

"Crack!"

Long Yue, who was happily eating, heard this and immediately broke the chopsticks in her hand in anger. Her cheeks twitched slightly, and she turned her head, revealing a terrifying, murderous glint in her eyes.

"What did you just call this Empress?"

She truly couldn't understand why so many people mistook her for the Demon Supreme's woman.

Even this man, upon meeting her, did the same! He actually called her Sister-in-law!

In what way did she resemble the Demon Supreme's woman!

"Uh... Sister-in-law?"

Zhou Yan was startled. He cautiously repeated the word, then turned his head in confusion to look at Lin Fan and whispered, "Why did Sister-in-law suddenly become so scary? Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, maybe she's on her period and in a bad mood."

Lin Fan, finding it difficult to explain, casually made up an excuse.

He couldn't possibly tell him that after being called Sister-in-law, she now wanted to kill him...

Just as Lin Fan and Zhou Yan were whispering, their words, unbeknownst to them, entered Long Yue's ears word for word.

Long Yue slowly stood up and walked straight towards the kitchen.

Seeing this, Zhou Yan proactively and enthusiastically asked, "Does Sister-in-law need something? Can I help?"

As his words fell, the killing intent emanating from Long Yue intensified. She trembled slightly with anger and gripped the handle of the cleaver.

Seeing this, Lin Fan quickly rushed into the kitchen and, from behind her, pressed down on her hand holding the cleaver.

"Calm down! Calm down, Empress!"

"Killing people here is a legal offense. If you kill him, we won't be able to live here anymore!"

"Let go! Let this Empress kill him! This mortal dares to insult this Empress again and again!"

"Don't worry, this Empress will clean it up thoroughly, and no one will find out!"

Long Yue struggled fiercely in Lin Fan's grasp. This reckless impulse clearly showed she had lost her temper.

"That's not the issue here!"

Helpless, Lin Fan hugged her waist with one arm and forcibly pressed down the cleaver in her hand with the other.

Whether it was to prevent her from committing a major crime or to save his dear friend's life, he absolutely could not let her make a move...

A silent struggle for the cleaver ensued between the two in the kitchen. From Zhou Yan's perspective, it looked like an affectionate scene where Lin Fan embraced Long Yue from behind, holding her hand as they chopped vegetables together.

"Sigh, I didn't expect Lin Fan to be so good at coaxing women now~"

Zhou Yan rubbed his nose with his finger, a pleased smile on his face.

This brat specifically called him over, and then spent the morning being all mushy with his girlfriend, without even considering the occasion. Was he just showing off their affection in front of him?

Honestly~
