Chapter 460 — Threw It Up and Ate It Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Just hang on a little longer! We're almost there!" Zhong Yongliang felt queasy himself, though he was faring somewhat better than Gao Xiaofu. He flew often enough on trips, and had even endured those small regional airliners before—better than this one, but not by much.
"I can't, I really can't!" Gao Xiaofu suddenly cried out. "Stewardess, open the window for me—I'm going to throw up!"
Gao Xiaofu's outburst drew every eye in the rows ahead, and Zhong Yongliang felt his face burn. What a humiliation! He could have kicked Gao Xiaofu right out of the plane. "This is an airplane, you idiot—did you think it was a bus? The windows are sealed. They don't open!"
"Then what am I supposed to do? It's coming up!" Gao Xiaofu said in a panic.
"Hold it in! Hold it in a moment and it'll pass," Zhong Yongliang snapped.
"Urp—" Gao Xiaofu, on the verge of vomiting, clapped a hand over his mouth. He held it for a while, and at last let out a long breath. "Phew..."
"Did you keep it down?" Zhong Yongliang asked, relieved to see that Gao Xiaofu was no longer retching.
"I threw up. Into my mouth. Then I swallowed it again," Gao Xiaofu said.
"What? Urp—" Zhong Yongliang's stomach heaved. Swallowed it again? How disgusting was that? He had been holding himself together, but Gao Xiaofu's words pushed him over the edge. He opened his mouth to vomit—then caught himself as he glanced up and saw the whole class watching Gao Xiaofu with amusement, and Shen Yushu turning around to look. He hesitated, but the stuff was already rising to his throat, and there was no holding it back now. Zhong Yongliang steeled himself, did as Gao Xiaofu had done—vomited into his mouth, and swallowed it down again.
"Burp—" Zhong Yongliang let out a satisfied belch, then waved cheerfully at Shen Yushu. "See? I'm perfectly fine. It's just that Gao Xiaofu here can't handle it!"
Seeing that no one had noticed, Zhong Yongliang breathed a sigh of relief. Clever as ever—true, he had swallowed his vomit too, but nobody had seen it!
"Brother Liang, my stomach's upset. I think I need to go number two," Gao Xiaofu said after a while.
"What is it with you? First you want to throw up, now you want to crap?" Zhong Yongliang was losing his temper.
"Brother Liang, you can't blame me. I didn't manage to throw it up, so I swallowed it back down, and now it's got to come out the other end..." Gao Xiaofu said meekly.
"There's a restroom up front. Go yourself!" Zhong Yongliang said helplessly.
Gao Xiaofu covered the distance in a few strides and dashed into the restroom. Zhong Yongliang was beginning to regret having let Gao Xiaofu sit at the back of the cabin with him—the man was a blight on his illustrious image!
No... why did his own stomach feel so awful? Zhong Yongliang was struck by a sudden alarm. He too had swallowed what he'd thrown up—surely he wasn't about to have diarrhea as well?
At the thought, Zhong Yongliang panicked. He scrambled up and ran for the toilet, and only at the door did he remember that Gao Xiaofu was still inside. He pounded on the door. "Xiaofu, hurry it up!"
"Brother Liang, what is it..." Gao Xiaofu asked weakly.
"I need to go too. Hurry up!" Zhong Yongliang said urgently.
"But I'm still going..." Gao Xiaofu answered.
Zhong Yongliang was sweating through his scalp, in agony, and could only pound on the door like a madman.
