TLCBITAR Chapter 199

Chapter 199: The Trapped

“Di di di…”

The steady, rhythmic sound was close to his ear. Zhou Zhou twitched his ear and heard his mother and father talking.

“He finally has his fever down. The doctor said it’s very likely that Zhou Zhou will regain his memories.” Zhou’s mother’s voice was filled with deep worry.

“I know you’re afraid Zhou Zhou will be hurt, but he’s an adult now. He’s not the little child you used to protect in your arms anymore, honey. He has his own ideas, so don’t interfere too much.” Zhou’s father put his arm around Zhou’s mother’s shoulders, comforting her.

“What if… what if he had a lover in that world…” Zhou’s mother bit her lower lip, her voice slightly hoarse.

“Are you afraid he’ll leave us and go back to the world in the book again?” Zhou’s father asked in a low voice.

Zhou’s mother pursed her lips and remained silent.

Seeing that they had fallen silent, Zhou Zhou opened his eyes, his voice extremely hoarse, “Dad, Mom, I’ll just wait for him in the future. I’m not going anywhere else.”

He believed that one day, Pei Yanlie would return. No matter how long he had to wait, he was willing.

Seeing that he had indeed regained his memories, Zhou’s mother sighed softly and said, “Zhou Zhou, will you blame Mom for being selfish?”

Zhou Zhou shook his head, his face a little pale. He turned his head to look at the clear blue sky outside the window and asked slowly, “Mom, who sent me to the hospital last night?”

He actually had an answer in his heart, but he still didn’t want to believe that the aloof Empire General would hold him in his arms.

His fingers dug into the bed sheet, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and images flashed through his mind.

Last night, in the hovercar, he had cried his heart out in the General’s arms.

“What a big embarrassment.” He muttered to himself, pinching his tense leg hard.

Zhou’s mother didn’t know what happened last night. She only received a call from the Federal Hospital near midnight. When she heard that her son was unconscious, she almost lost her soul in fright.

“Dong dong dong.”

A knock on the door sounded, accompanied by a familiar voice, “Doctor’s rounds.”

The door was pushed open, and Director Yao walked into the ward with his five little assistants, a trace of imperceptible worry in his eyes.

“How are you feeling? Does your head still hurt?” Director Yao’s tone was gentle.

The wounds on Zhou Zhou’s face had subsided, with only a blue bruise on one side of his face.

He didn’t answer Director Yao’s question, but instead asked, “Have the trapped people all returned?”

Director Yao nodded, “Except for two Federal soldiers who are still staying there, everyone else has returned. Without exception, they have all lost their memories.”

Zhou Zhou’s heart suddenly beat violently. He stared at Director Yao with wide eyes, “Are the trapped people all in the hospital? Or have they gone home?”

“They just woke up yesterday and are currently undergoing examinations in the hospital.” Director Yao didn’t mention the General.

“Can I go see them?” Zhou Zhou stood up abruptly, his expression revealing undisguised excitement.

Director Yao pondered for a moment and nodded.

“Mom and Dad, I’ll be right back.” The light in Zhou Zhou’s eyes stung Zhou’s mother’s eyes. She nodded with reddened eyes, praying in her heart that the girl her son loved was also one of the trapped people.

That way, her son wouldn’t lose his love and be immersed in grief.

Zhou Zhou couldn’t wait to leave. In his mind, he speculated about who Pei Yanlie’s real body would be and what he would look like.

As he thought about it, he suddenly stopped, his face turning pale.

What if, what if his real body was married with children? What should he do?

He clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and walked one step behind Director Yao, reaching the corridor of the ordinary ward on the eighth floor of the inpatient department.

The entire floor was full of trapped people. He walked slowly past the first ward, looking at the unfamiliar faces, and pursed his lips.

They had all temporarily lost their memories. Who was Pei Yanlie was unknown.

“Can I go in?” Zhou Zhou asked Director Yao.

Director Yao hummed, looking at his lost and vaguely expectant appearance, and asked curiously, “Who are you looking for?”

Zhou Zhou blurted out, “Pei Yanlie.”

Director Yao was stunned, his eyes widened. Surname Pei?

He knew that among all the trapped people, only the General was surnamed Pei.

Based on the commonalities of the trapped people this time, he swallowed his saliva and said, “In that world, did you possess a character with the same name and surname?”

Zhou Zhou nodded, not quite understanding what he meant.

“All the trapped people’s names are very likely to be similar or the same as the characters in the book.” Director Yao said with a serious face, word by word.

Zhou Zhou quickly understood what he meant. He strode into the ward, his eyes sweeping over the nameplates pasted on the head of the beds.

Four girls lived in one ward, all staring at Zhou Zhou, not saying a word, their gazes carrying inexplicable hostility when they landed on Director Yao.

Zhou Zhou’s gaze fell on the name written on the middle bed, and he murmured, “Li Yu?!”

The girl named Li Yu, with her refreshing, ear-length short hair, looked at Zhou Zhou expressionlessly.

She had a cold and bewitching face that was hard to tell apart, with a beauty that was somewhere between androgynous. Zhou Zhou was shocked. The real body of the cross-dresser Li Yu was actually a woman?

He suspected from the bottom of his heart whether this person was the same person as Li Yu in the book.

Li Yu only glanced at him indifferently, then her gaze fell on Director Yao, and she said in a low voice, “When can I be discharged? Can family members come to visit?”

Director Yao coughed lightly, “At least a week, at most a month. As for family visits, they can start tomorrow, but they can’t stay in the hospital for a long time.”

While they were talking, Zhou Zhou turned and walked out of the ward, striding into the ward next door. It was full of boys, and he only looked at their names, not even looking at their faces. His gaze suddenly fell on the three words “Chen Qihang.”

His pupils shrank sharply, his gaze falling on the person by the window, his tone revealing obvious excitement, “Are you Chen Qihang?”

The person was originally facing away from Zhou Zhou, his body slightly thin. When he heard his name, he turned his head to look at Zhou Zhou, his round, clear black eyes showing a trace of doubt.

Zhou Zhou carefully looked at him. He estimated that this person’s height was about the same as Chen Qihang’s, especially his mushroom head and black-framed glasses, which were no different from the real person.

He suddenly chuckled and walked to Chen Qihang’s side, “I’ll take you to get a haircut another day, bro. Don’t let this hairstyle ruin such a good-looking face.”

Chen Qihang frowned, his voice a little hoarse, clear and melodious, “What hairstyle I have is none of your business?”

Director Yao swallowed and pulled Zhou Zhou aside to explain in a low voice, “This person is the youngest son of the chairman of JN Company and the youngest professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Federal University. He’s seven years older than you, so don’t call yourself bro.”

Zhou Zhou had an impression of JN Company. Most of the robots in Main Star came from JN Company, including the butler robot in the small villa and the small robot his father loved so much.

He didn’t expect Chen Qihang to have such a strong family background. He raised his eyebrows and was sincerely happy for him. At least his real body’s background was much better than Chen Qihang’s in the book.

He waved his hand under Chen Qihang’s cold gaze, “Let’s get together again when you regain your memories, bye.”

He turned and walked out of the ward, coming to the next one.

He was stunned just by seeing the first name.

“Zhou Jin.” He raised his eyes to look at the man lying on the bed, his eyes slightly red.

Great, Big Brother Zhou was actually a trapped person.

Hot gazes fell on Zhou Jin, who opened his eyes and met Zhou Zhou’s red eyes, raising his eyebrows, “What, do you know me?”

Zhou Zhou raised the corner of his mouth and hummed, then thinking of something, he turned to look at Director Yao and asked, “Among the trapped people, is there Gu Yuanci?”

Director Yao nodded.

Zhou Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. In that case, Big Brother Zhou and Big Brother Gu could continue their relationship and be loving.

When Zhou Jin heard Gu Yuanci’s name, his eyes turned cold. Gu Yuanci was his nemesis. The two of them had incompatible magnetic fields as soon as they met and had to argue.

He didn’t expect that person to be trapped in the world in the book like him.

He snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and no longer paid attention to the strange boy.
