TLCBITAR Chapter 190

Zhou Zhou spent two hours with his mother strolling along the main street, finally entering a jewelry store renowned throughout the Starry Sky.

A beautiful female robot at the entrance approached with a smile, “Welcome to Jiao Meiren. I’m Xiao Mei. Would you like human assistance or self-service shopping?”

Zhou’s mother glanced inside the store, seeing only four or five customers and no staff. “Self-service shopping.”

“Okay, you can consult Xiao Mei at any time if you have any questions.” The robot returned to the entrance, standing perfectly straight, almost indistinguishable from a real person at first glance.

Zhou Zhou carefully admired the robot’s beauty, sighing, “No matter how good the appearance, it’s just a robot.”

Xiao Mei giggled twice, “My appearance is based on the popular female celebrity, Miss Su.”

“Miss Su?” Zhou Zhou didn’t usually pay attention to entertainment news, so he naturally didn’t know who this person was.

Zhou’s mother walked along the transparent display case, her gaze drawn to a necklace emitting an azure blue light.

“Zhou Zhou, come take a look at this Ocean Heart.” Zhou’s mother tilted her head, looking at her son chatting with the robot at the entrance.

Zhou Zhou responded and walked over, glancing down at the necklace. “Do you like this necklace?”

He looked at the price: five million Starry Sky credits.

He had tens of millions of spending money in his card, so he naturally had enough to buy it.

“I think it suits Momo’s temperament very well.” The meaning in Zhou’s mother’s words was clear, and Zhou Zhou naturally understood.

“You want to buy it for her?” Zhou Zhou’s mouth twitched slightly.

“Not me, you buy it.” Zhou’s mother covered her mouth and chuckled.

“Who gives gifts the first time they meet someone?” Zhou Zhou grumbled.

“What do you know? What girl doesn’t like gifts? Only if you make a good first impression is there a possibility of development.” Zhou’s mother spoke with great conviction.

In the end, under Zhou’s mother’s persistent persuasion, Zhou Zhou still bought the Ocean Heart necklace.

He frowned slightly, staring blankly at the gift being packaged by the beautiful robot, a feeling of inexplicable guilt rising in his heart.

Why feel guilty? I, Zhou Zhou, am upright and honest, and not two-timing anyone. It’s just buying a gift for a girl.

“Zhou Zhou, don’t be a playboy.”

That unfamiliar yet vaguely familiar male voice appeared in his mind again.

“Zhou Zhou, what are you spacing out for? Let’s go.” Zhou’s mother patted her son’s arm.

“Uh, okay.” Zhou Zhou raised his hand to rub his forehead, a trace of confusion rising in his eyes.

He felt like he had forgotten something. Who was that man?

He was pulled out of the jewelry store by Zhou’s mother, his mind racing. The people and things around him no longer caught his eye, his vision gradually blurring until his eye sockets were sore and unbearable, and he realized he was already in tears.

Zhou’s mother had been smiling happily, but she stopped in her tracks when she inadvertently looked up and saw her son crying, hurriedly saying, “Zhou Zhou, why are you crying? Did Mom make you unhappy by acting on her own? Then we won’t go, Mom won’t force you.”

Zhou Zhou raised his hand to wipe away his tears, shaking his head, his voice hoarse, “It’s nothing, something got in my eyes.”

Zhou’s mother looked worried, knowing her son was lying. “Did you remember something?”

Doctor Yao had explained to her that Zhou Zhou had gone to the world in the book during his coma, and the people or things there might have had a huge impact on him.

“Mom, I’m fine, let’s go. Didn’t you make an appointment with your friend?” Zhou Zhou wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, his eye sockets red, and even the tip of his nose was red, looking very pitiful.

Zhou Zhou had only cried when he was a child. After growing up, he had always been carefree, so she had never seen him cry. Zhou’s mother took a light breath, her worry growing even stronger.

Zhou Zhou forced a smile, “I’m really okay, don’t worry, let’s go, I’m hungry.”

Zhou’s mother pursed her lips, concealing the emotions on her face, and pulled her son to a less crowded area, asking seriously, “Zhou Zhou, your expression clearly says you’re heartbroken. Who made you cry so sadly?”

Zhou Zhou “ah”ed, saying helplessly, “Mom, I’m a single dog now, where would I get a girlfriend to be heartbroken over? Oh, you wouldn’t be talking about the one I met this morning, would you? I didn’t have any feelings for her, we only spent a few days together.”

“You definitely had a girlfriend in that world.” Zhou’s mother said decisively.

“You really believe the Federation Hospital’s story? How could such a mysterious thing exist?” Zhou Zhou sighed lightly.

“Don’t be in such a hurry to deny it. Maybe you’ll remember in a few days.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll tell you when I remember. There definitely won’t be a girlfriend!” Zhou Zhou said confidently.

However, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. With what he had done, it was really possible that he had found a girlfriend there.

But he guessed that she was probably the irresponsible type.

Could it be that he had slept with her?

He suddenly tensed up, his head spinning, inwardly shouting: Impossible, absolutely impossible, did I lose my first time in that world?

Zhou’s mother watched her son’s face change unpredictably, turning black, white, red, and green in quick succession, inwardly thinking: It seems that woman had a big impact on him, actually turning her son, who was always so lazy and calm, into this chameleon-like appearance.

It was a pity that the woman was a character in the book and could never come out.

Nor would she let her son go back. She could be open-minded about other things, but she couldn’t stand to see her son lying in bed, looking lifeless.

Zhou’s mother decided to start a new relationship for her son as soon as possible, before he regained his memory.

The two of them walked out of the main street and got into a hovercar heading directly to the Huanxing Skyscraper.

They arrived at their destination in less than five minutes.

Zhou’s mother got out of the car first, chattering incessantly, “Zhou Zhou, don’t be too indifferent when you see them later, you have to say hello.”

Zhou Zhou “oh”ed, tightening his grip on the gift bag in his hand.

He looked up at the starry, dreamlike Huanxing Skyscraper, momentarily lost in thought.

The Huanxing Skyscraper was a paradise for young people, with 240 floors and entertainment facilities covering almost every floor.

At the very top was an extreme bungee jumping game, thrilling and exciting.

He slowly followed Zhou’s mother into the elevator, Zhou’s mother pressed the button for the 150th floor.

The elevator rose extremely quickly, and before Zhou Zhou had time to look at the scenery outside, the elevator doors opened.

“Beep beep beep.”

His optical brain suddenly emitted a new message notification tone.

Zhou Zhou checked the message from the unknown number as he walked.

[I have made the arrangements, and will soon return to the future Starry Sky. President Pei asked me to tell you that he is coming back soon, and that he loves you very much.]

It must be another harassing message from that Yuan Heng person.

He casually replied with a “scram,” but the message failed to send.

“Putting on an act, show up in front of me if you have the guts, and see if I don’t beat you to death. What President Pei? I told you I’m not gay!” Zhou Zhou sneered.

He frowned his thick, handsome eyebrows, his face dark, staring at the optical brain interface, lost in thought.
