    Chapter 193: One or Two Dislike Me for Being Long-Winded

    For several days in a row, as soon as Zhou Zhou fell asleep, he dreamed of that man whose face he couldn’t see clearly. The extremely ambiguous scenes in the dream were shameful, and to make matters worse, he even felt something for that man.

    “It’s over, it’s over, have my genes mutated? Have I become gay?” Zhou Zhou sat on the bed with dark circles under his eyes, lamenting to himself, “No, it’s time to do an experiment to prove that I’m still straight.”

    He opened his optical computer and sent a message to his group of friends.

    [Zhou Xiaozhou: Everyone, let’s go to a bar tonight, raise your paws if you’re coming.]

    [Little Li: (Raises a cat paw)]

    [Little Liu: (Raises a dog paw)]

    [Little Hu: You’ve only been awake for a few days, take care of your body, drink less.]

    [Zhou Xiaozhou: Since when did you become my mom?]

    [Little Liu: Good morning, Mother Hu.]

    [Little Li: Mom Hu, you’ve been a bit strange lately.]

    [Little Hu: My sons, be good.]

    [Zhou Xiaozhou: Damn, you’re even escalating this!]

    [Little Liu: Brothers, should I bring some pretty little sisters over?]

    [Little Li: Spare me, the ones you brought last time were all ugly and old, old enough to be my mom!]

    ……

    Zhou Zhou dawdled in his room for half an hour before slowly getting up, washing up, changing into a set of refreshing sportswear, and walking out of his room to the first floor.

    Zhou’s mother and Zhou’s father were sitting on the sofa, talking in low voices. They only looked up when they heard the sound of footsteps, seeing their son with a tired face.

    “Xiaozhou, have you been staying up late playing games behind your mother’s back these past few days?” Zhou’s mother stood up and quickly walked to him.

    Zhou Zhou’s whole body stiffened, he swallowed involuntarily, a heat rose on his face, and his complexion turned red visibly.

    Damn, is it that obvious?

    “Look, you’re even feeling guilty and blushing. No wonder I occasionally heard shouting from the third floor in the middle of the night.” Zhou’s mother wanted to reach out and tug his ear, but remembering that her son had grown up, she could only sigh and earnestly persuade, “Xiaozhou, you’ve reached the age of marriage, you can’t be as unrestrained as before, your father and mother only have you.”

    “Mom, I didn’t play games.” Zhou Zhou turned his head to the side and muttered, “I’ve been having a lot of nightmares these past few days, I suspect this villa…”

    Before he could finish speaking, Zhou’s mother widened her eyes, “Why didn’t you tell Mom earlier?”

    Zhou Zhou grinned and smiled, “You’re not an exorcist, telling you is useless.”

    Zhou’s mother frowned her delicate eyebrows, looking worried, “Eat breakfast first, and I’ll take you to see a master later.”

    Zhou Zhou: …

    I was just saying, and you actually took it seriously?

    “Mom, don’t bother, it’s okay, it’s a high-tech society now, where would there be a master? Don’t get scammed.”

    “Wife, where did you meet the master?” Zhou’s father stood up and walked to her side.

    “Mo Mo’s mother introduced me to him,” Zhou’s mother opened her optical computer and entered a few words, “He is Master Jingming, with great magic power, knowing astronomy above and geography below, able to read birthdates, match marriages…”

    Seeing Zhou’s mother getting more and more excited, Zhou Zhou rubbed his ears, letting it go in one ear and out the other, not listening at all, “Mom, I suddenly remembered that someone made an appointment with me, I’ll go out first.”

    “Zhou Xiaozhou, stop!” Zhou’s mother walked in front of him, cleared her throat and asked, “How is your relationship with Mo Mo developing these days?”

    “Uh, well, pretty good.” Zhou Zhou laughed.

    Zhou’s mother stared at him suspiciously, “You don’t go out much, you lock yourself in your room all day, how good can the relationship be?”

    “Don’t forget that the optical computer can make video calls.” Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself: Lan Mo is someone who already has a girlfriend, only you and Auntie are kept in the dark.

    “Xiaozhou, you’re lying.” Zhou’s mother hit the nail on the head.

    Having raised her son for twenty-one years, she knew very well whether he was lying or not. How could there be a couple in love who haven’t seen each other for several days in a row?

    Zhou Zhou stopped hiding and said word by word, “Mom, I don’t feel anything for her.”

    Zhou’s mother sighed softly, “What’s going on with you two?”

    “Secret.” Zhou Zhou raised his hand and put it around her shoulders, leading her to the sofa, “Don’t ask, it’s not popular to have arranged marriages now, and you don’t want me to just find a girl I don’t like to spend my life with, do you?”

    Zhou’s mother was pressed onto the sofa by him, her mood gradually becoming heavy, “Xiaozhou, have you remembered anything these past few days?”

    She selfishly hoped that her son could forget everything about that world, after all, that world most likely had the person he loved the most. Since they were destined not to be together, it would be better to forget everything.

    If you don’t know, there will be no pain.

    “Why do you keep asking this?”

    Zhou’s mother shook her head, “It’s nothing, let’s go eat breakfast first.”

    “By the way, your father and mother have to go back to Pángxīng tomorrow, you’re here alone, you have to take good care of yourself. Didn’t the Federal Club arrange a job for you? Be serious, don’t be so lazy all day…”

    Zhou’s mother started to nag again, Zhou Zhou nodded, his ears twitching a few times.

    “Go to bed early at night, don’t play games, look at what you’ve become, your dark circles are even worse than the old blue planet’s national treasure.”

    “Drink less alcohol, play less exciting projects with your friends, and don’t just pick up girls, it’s not good for you or her…”

    Zhou’s mother kept nagging, Zhou Zhou nodded and “uh uh hmm hmm”, only feeling very dizzy.

    “Wife, I’ve heard these words at least seven or eight times.” Zhou’s father supported his forehead and interrupted her.

    Zhou’s mother turned her head and glared at him, “Unlike you, your eyes and heart are full of robots, you don’t care about your son!”

    Zhou’s father and Zhou Zhou looked at each other, seemingly reaching some agreement, Zhou Zhou raised his foot and walked out of the door, leaving a sentence: “Mom, I really have an appointment, I’ll be back later.”

    Zhou’s father coughed violently twice, covered his stomach and stood up, “Hey, my stomach hurts a bit, is the nutrient solution expired?”

    He walked quickly into the bathroom, breathed a sigh of relief, once his wife started nagging, she wouldn’t stop for an hour.

    Zhou’s mother sat on the sofa, glaring, “One or two of you dislike me for being long-winded!”

    She gritted her teeth, snorted softly, and opened her optical computer to invite her best friend to the beauty salon to take care of her skin.

    During her son’s coma, she had no mind to do these things, women still have to be good to themselves, what should be spent must be spent.

    On the other side, Zhou Zhou slowly walked out of the villa area, not knowing where to go for a while.

    Coincidentally, Little Hu sent a message.

    [Little Hu: Do you still remember the transmigration game we played before?]

    [Zhou Xiaozhou: Yearning in the Sea of Desire……?]

    [Little Hu: Yes, didn’t you say that there was a character with the same name as you? Something happened to this game.]

    [Zhou Xiaozhou: Where did you hear the news from?]

    [Little Hu: I chatted with my uncle a few words, he said that the General was also trapped inside.]

    [Zhou Xiaozhou: Uh, so what?]

    Zhou Zhou’s admiration for the General was not as intense as others, but he was a little surprised to hear that the General was also trapped in the same game.

    [Little Hu: I heard that he’s preparing to come back, and then the game company will be in trouble.]

    The game company privately used some unknown substance from the black hole, which caused the accident. The transmigration game has now been completely removed from the shelves, and many teenagers are heartbroken, after all, this game is really popular, and it’s really fun.

    Just the immersive feeling alone makes people more and more addicted to playing.

    [Zhou Xiaozhou: The General is also miserable…]

    [Little Hu: It is said that the rewards are very generous, but the General’s assets have already reached an unmatched level, and he doesn’t care about these rewards either. He also tried his best to save people, but it’s a pity that he’s thirty years old and hasn’t married a wife or had a child.]

    Zhou Zhou: “Don’t say it as if he’s about to die.”
