TLCBITAR Chapter 214
by Volare“Is that the new data analyst?”
“Looks like our data department finally got a handsome guy.”
“Little Goldfish looks so petite and delicate next to him.”
“I’m kind of shipping them, what to do?”
“Don’t ship everything, aren’t they both straight?”
Several women in white military uniform skirts huddled together, gossiping, their excited gazes following Zhou Zhou’s movements.
After Zhou Zhou and Jin Yu walked into the chief data officer’s office, the chattering became even louder.
“As expected, you’re popular. With your looks, you must have had a lot of girlfriends before?” Jin Yu said enviously.
“You’re not bad-looking either.” Zhou Zhou looked around the office. It was empty, with several computers lined up on a long table, surrounded by scattered white papers, looking a bit messy.
Jin Yu gave a wry smile, thinking that his face would only attract the attention of older women, not the kind of love he wanted.
“Wait here for a bit, the boss is in a meeting. He should be back in about five minutes.” Jin Yu poured him a glass of water, then went to his computer desk to tidy up.
Zhou Zhou hummed in acknowledgement, sat down casually, and opened his optical brain to check his microblog messages.
[Little Hu: What time do you get off work? I’ll pick you up. I have something to tell you.]
Zhou Zhou rubbed his forehead with a headache. It seemed Hu Wenxu hadn’t given up. Ever since he called drunk two days ago, he seemed to have been stimulated by Pei Yanlie and had disappeared for two days.
[Zhou Zhou: I have plans tonight.]
Zhou Zhou didn’t want to give him even a sliver of hope. A long pain is worse than a short one. He believed that time would heal all emotional wounds.
The other party didn’t reply for a long time. Zhou Zhou opened StarNet, and a youthful, beautiful face stayed on the screen for a few seconds.
[A Powerful Arrival: Little Star’s 101st concert will be held at Tian’en Square on Main Star.]
Zhou Zhou browsed through it casually, admiration in his eyes. It seemed Little Star was doing well on Main Star, surrounded by attention, a true heiress.
“You’re a fan of my cousin?”
Zhou Zhou was openly looking at the screen, and when Jin Yu turned his head, he saw Su Wanxing’s stunning face.
“You could say that.” Zhou Zhou didn’t deny it. He scrolled down the screen, his gaze pausing for a moment on the words “Professor Chen.”
[JN Company’s latest omnipotent robot is born! The creator is still the renowned Professor Chen, the only son of the Chen family.]
Thinking of Chen Qihang’s true identity, Zhou Zhou couldn’t help but sigh. He leaned back in his chair, a mischievous smile in his eyes.
Chen Qihang and Qin Yang were arch-enemies in the book. He remembered that before he left, he learned from Pei Yanlie that the two of them were officially together.
Who knew that both of them were sufferers, and now, due to triggering the protection mechanism, they had both lost their memories, their past love buried deep in their minds.
He shook his leg, feeling somewhat sympathetic towards Qin Yang. The current Chen Qihang was much more difficult to deal with than the one in the book. He wondered if, after regaining their memories, the two of them would reconcile as before.
On the other side, in the public lecture hall of Case University’s teaching building.
Chen Qihang raised his hand and adjusted his glasses. His unchanging mushroom head had actually turned into a side-parted, layered cut. His eyebrows, which had been hidden before, were now revealed, making him look younger. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was a college student.
There were more than a hundred people in the classroom. They suppressed their curiosity until the end-of-class bell rang, then began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
“Qin Yang, you slept through the whole class. Hurry up and get up and take a look. Professor Chen is about to leave.” The boy sitting next to Qin Yang pushed his shoulder.
Qin Yang impatiently turned his head to the other side, muttering, “What’s there to see? What’s so great about him?”
“Seriously, Professor Chen’s gloomy and aloof aura is completely gone after he changed his hairstyle. Look, several students are surrounding him and asking questions. No one dared to do that before.” The male student’s tone was a little excited, and he kept pushing Qin Yang’s shoulder, determined to get him up.
Qin Yang vigorously rubbed his golden hair and finally gave in, raising his head and lifting his eyelids to look at the unfamiliar yet familiar man on the podium.
Chen Qihang’s eyes were slightly lowered, one finger pointing to the textbook, his expression not the least bit impatient as he patiently explained to the students.
Qin Yang stared blankly at him, his gaze involuntarily falling on his red, full lips. His green eyes trembled a few times, then his pupils suddenly constricted as a few ambiguous scenes flashed through his mind.
He suddenly stood up, gasped a few times, and fled out of the classroom in the bewildered gaze of the male student, running into the bathroom.
“What the hell was that!” He turned on the faucet and vigorously splashed water on his face, but the icy water couldn’t extinguish the sudden heat that had risen.
He silently stared at his face covered in water droplets in the mirror, looking disheveled and outrageous. The boy in his mind clearly didn’t look like Chen Qihang, so why did he think that person was him?
The heat lingering in his abdomen couldn’t subside for a long time. It was unfamiliar, yet carried a strange sense of familiarity. He lowered his eyes and glanced at his crotch, his eyelids twitching wildly. He clenched his fist and slammed it on the sink.
Footsteps came from behind him, and Qin Yang’s whole body stiffened. He recovered a natural expression and turned on the faucet again, pretending to wash his hands.
The sound of running water faintly came, and he glanced over, his heart, which hadn’t calmed down, began to beat like a drum again, without any rhythm.
Chen Qihang didn’t even look at Qin Yang, pulled up his pants, and slowly walked to his side to turn on the water to wash his hands.
The gaze on his face was too fervent for him to ignore, so he turned his head to look at Qin Yang and said in a cold voice, “What are you looking at?”
This person had slept through his class for two whole hours, and Chen Qihang had no goodwill towards him, which made his attitude even colder.
“What kind of stimulation did you get to cut off your mushroom head?” Qin Yang swallowed hard, struggling to move his gaze away, his voice already extremely hoarse.
He used to hate nothing more than to cause trouble for him every day. Now, after just changing his hairstyle, he had shamefully developed perverse thoughts.
Qin Yang was a natural homosexual. He discovered his sexuality in middle school. He knew that he didn’t have much affection for girls. From who knows what day, his gaze would occasionally linger on the boys on the basketball court.
He had never liked anyone, but he knew in his heart that he liked boys.
Until he went to college, he thought he could find the boy he liked, but he didn’t know when he started revolving around Chen Qihang.
Thinking about how to skip his class, how to make him angry, how to make a crack appear on his face.
He thought he hated him, hated him very much, otherwise why would he always want to bully him?
His eyes were locked on Chen Qihang’s unchanging face, and he forced a wicked smile, “Professor Chen, you have a bit of cookie crumb on the corner of your mouth.”
Chen Qihang raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth, and sure enough, he touched a small piece of foreign object. His expression remained calm, without embarrassment, without blushing. It seemed that no one could make his emotions fluctuate.
Qin Yang just couldn’t stand his appearance. Some scenes reappeared in his mind, reminding him of what the doctor at the Federal Hospital said, that these scenes were very likely his lost memories.
And the man in the memories also happened to be called Chen Qihang.
He watched Chen Qihang’s departing back, his eyes gradually turning red. Although the memory was still fragmented and couldn’t be fully presented, the shy expression that the man showed under him made him lustful and wish he could pull him back at this moment, imprison him in his arms, and demand him wantonly.
