Chapter 85 – Lu Bei starts his journey to pursue his wife

Tang Qing slightly widened his eyes, “Erase Lu Bei’s memories of me?”

He bit his lip tightly, remaining silent.

His face paled a bit.

Tang Bo watched his younger brother’s absent-minded expression and sighed, “Tang Tang, Lu Bei is a straight guy, that’s how this world is set up. You’ve been together for so many years, you know how much he cares about you, how strong his possessiveness is.”

“Maybe for him, you are the most important person in the world, but he can never give you the response you want.”

Tang Bo reluctantly uttered the final words, “Because he can’t develop romantic feelings for someone of the same sex.”

Tang Qing knew that over the years, Lu Bei’s possessiveness towards him had reached a frenzied level.

Originally, given Lu Bei’s family background, he should have been a young master who had everything handed to him. But for Tang Qing, he willingly turned into a full-fledged caretaker.

Taking care of the fragile little Tang Qing, shielding him from all troubles, comforting him to sleep when he couldn’t, washing his clothes, cleaning his room, cooking for him, peeling all shell-covered foods for him…

Anything related to Tang Qing, no matter how trivial, Lu Bei always placed it as the top priority.

Even Tang’s father and mother didn’t dare claim they did more than Lu Bei.

Despite all this, Lu Bei remained deeply rooted in his homophobia.

It seemed as if he was naturally devoid of the capacity for romantic love, waiting for the Female Lead to awaken that part of him.

At times, Tang Qing also wondered, could the Female Lead truly replace him in Lu Bei’s heart?

Can a person truly be torn to the extent of abandoning the one they’ve loved for eighteen years for someone they’ve barely met?

However, even though he was confident they wouldn’t become enemies, he knew he could never occupy the place of romantic love in Lu Bei’s heart.

Tang Qing would be Lu Bei’s family, his relative, but not his lover.

“Tang Tang, if you’re truly distressed, you can also erase your memories.” Tang Bo looked at his brother’s watery eyes, feeling somewhat reluctant.

“No, I don’t want to.” Tang Qing refused without hesitation.

“I don’t want to forget him.”

Tang Qing had lived in this little world for eighteen years, and every single day of those eighteen years had been filled by Lu Bei.

They shared too many memories, every inch of his recollections filled with Lu Bei’s goodness towards him.

Just the thought of it made Tang Qing feel like his heart was being squeezed, making it hard to breathe.

“Gege, let’s leave tonight. Erase Lu Bei’s memories, that’s all we need to do.”

Tang Qing slightly tilted his head up, concealing the moisture in his eyes, and answered firmly.

“Yes, Tang Tang, once we return to the real world, we won’t need to do missions anymore.” Tang Bo rubbed his brother’s head, feeling a softness in his heart.

His little brother truly understood in a way that made one ache with tenderness.

It was better to endure a short-term pain than a prolonged one. Today, he pretended to be a psycho and endured a beating from the Male Lead¹Wait a minute… so when he said the Male Lead saved the Female Lead from a hooligan… He meant himself?! , all in the hope of finishing the mission sooner and taking Tang Qing out of this little world.

To prevent him from sinking any deeper.

Lu Bei finished showering, casually drying off the water droplets, and put on his pajamas.

As an athlete, his physique was excellent, with firm and sexy muscles exposed in the open front of his chest, exuding overflowing hormones.

With a push of his arm, he skillfully climbed up to the balcony and crossed over to the neighboring balcony.

Now that Tang Qing no longer transformed into a cat at night, it fundamentally eliminated the awkward situation of waking up the next day as a handsome naked man.

So, could he boldly ask Tang Tang to sleep with him?

He leaped down from the balcony and arrived at Tang Qing’s room.

“Little soft candy, my Juliet kitty, your Romeo is here to sneak in and sleep with you.”

Lu Bei chuckled as he spoke, finding the description quite fitting. Weren’t they the modern version of Romeo and Juliet after all?

“Beautiful princess, is your wicked brother home?” Lu Bei lowered his voice a bit more, so as not to be discovered by that annoying Tang Bo.

He walked into the room, finding it empty.

Was Tang Qing probably taking a shower?

Well, then he would get to cuddle with the sweet and fragrant Tang Tang later.

Thinking of this, Lu Bei couldn’t help but smile, his face full of joy.

He sat on the chair for a while, feeling like a big brother sneaking around for an affair.

Suddenly, a string of 0101 characters flashed before his eyes.

Lu Bei blinked in confusion.

What’s wrong? Have I been straining my eyes too much lately?

He only stared at Tang Qing every day, so it shouldn’t have damaged his 5.3 eyesight.

Suddenly, his head started burning, a searing pain.

Unable to bear the pain, he let out a sound, his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fingers, veins popping on his forehead.

Lu Bei lowered his gaze, pressing hard on his temple.

It hurt so much…

Memories seemed to be rapidly swirling in his mind as if they were being deleted.

It felt like something important was fading away.

After a while, he returned to normal.

Lu Bei looked around, suddenly feeling a bit lost. Where was he?

This place didn’t look like his own room.

He stood up and looked around.

The person living here clearly loved cleanliness. Everything was neatly organized and spotless, with a faint fragrance lingering in the air.

It was the scent coming from the clothes of the room’s owner.

Lu Bei approached the wardrobe, looking at the clothes hanging inside, and couldn’t resist taking a deep sniff.

A faint orchid scent.

So fragrant.

Had this person sprayed perfume? Why did it smell so good?

However, Lu Bei realized that sniffing someone else’s clothes was a bit strange.

He reluctantly closed the wardrobe, feeling a bit reluctant to part with the scent.

Lu Bei should have turned and left, but he involuntarily glanced around.

There was a book on the table, “Pathology”, showing signs of being flipped through many times.

Turns out, the owner was a medical student.

The book was filled with notes, the handwriting elegant and beautiful, making one imagine that the owner of these words must also be handsome and pretty.

A piece of paper drifted out from the book.

Lu Bei picked up the paper, noticing a faint scent that seemed to have been absorbed from being with the owner for a long time.

It was a piece of draft paper.

The paper was covered with words, the handwriting still beautiful but somewhat messy, indicating that the writer was in a state of turmoil.

Lu Bei.

His own name was written all over it.

Lu Bei was taken aback, as he was very clear that his handwriting was definitely not like this.

Who was this person, and why was his name written all over the draft paper?

Was this someone important to him?

But why did he have no recollection?

He carefully looked again, and at the top of the paper was the name of the owner.

“Tang Qing.”

“Tang Qing…”

Lu Bei couldn’t help but murmur this name,

Just uttering these two words made him feel intimate and sweet.

This person must be very important to him,

He shouldn’t forget!

But… but he couldn’t recall.

Lu Bei fiercely punched the table, creating a hole in it, his hand getting scraped and turning purple-red.

He clenched his fist, closed his eyes, and felt those blue characters flashing through his mind.

For a moment, his eyes seemed to turn blue, filled with dense numbers racing by.

After blinking repeatedly a few times, Lu Bei’s eye color finally returned to normal.

He opened his eyes, a gloomy and deep-seated paranoia filling them, along with madness.

He remembered the beautiful young man he had seen in his memories, sometimes with orange cat ears on his head, sometimes with white cat ears, sometimes cute and mischievous, sometimes stunningly beautiful, sometimes cold and elegant…

It was his Tang Qing.

His.

At this moment, he was still Lu Bei, but also not Lu Bei.

“Tang Tang, I’ve come to find you.”

The man’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, sharp and possessive.

Five days later, Tang Qing was living in a beautiful bed and breakfast near a small town near City A with Tang Bo.

On the night they were supposed to complete the mission and leave the little world, System 99 suddenly made a sizzling sound, and then…

It crashed…

Shocking Tang Qing for a whole year.

This system turned out to be so unreliable.

Tang Bo rubbed his forehead and sighed, “Uh, I guess the system was attacked.”

Seeing Tang Bo’s helpless expression, Tang Qing even suspected that this wasn’t the first time this had happened.

“So, do we just stay here? How long do we have to wait?”

“Let’s wait until the system is fixed. Consider it a vacation with your gege, Tang Tang. Don’t you like it?” Tang Bo ruffled his brother’s head, the furry sensation feeling soft and fluffy.

City B was a small town, surrounded by beautiful mountains and waters, with pleasant air, indeed a great vacation spot.

Tang Qing nodded, “I like it.”

He just felt a bit uneasy.

Had Lu Bei really completely forgotten about him?

He must have, otherwise he wouldn’t have gone crazy looking for him without success.

Tang Qing never thought that Tang Bo had taken him away in a special way, making it impossible for Lu Bei to find him in just one or two days even if he went mad trying.

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound of knocking on the door rang out.

Tang Qing opened the door to find the son of the bed and breakfast owner, a cute-looking boy named Chen Niannian. Not only was he an openly gay man, but also a face-chaser. He had been sticking to Tang Qing since the first day they met, even launching an intense pursuit.

After chasing for several days, he was reminded by Tang Qing’s brother and found out he had chased the wrong target.

Damn it, such a handsome guy with a cold and elegant appearance turned out to be a zero.

Chen Niannian shed tears.

But if they couldn’t be lovers, they could be sisters.

Since they were similar in age and Chen Niannian was very outgoing, he enjoyed coming to find Tang Qing to go to the night market and have bubble tea together.

Looking at Tang Qing, he flashed a cute smile, “Tang Qing, let’s go out together tonight.”

Tang Qing hesitated for a moment, glancing at his brother.

Tang Bo impatiently waved his hand, “Alright, I know you’re tired of looking at your brother. Go out and find some young men to look at.”

So, Tang Qing prepared to change his shoes and go out with Chen Niannian.

“Sister, are you really going out dressed like this?” Chen Niannian exaggeratedly remarked, looking at Tang Qing.

Tang Qing looked down at himself, a white t-shirt and blue jeans. Was there something wrong?

In reality, after leaving Lu Bei, Tang Qing had been dressing himself similarly every day. Keep it simple.

“Well, that won’t do, it’s a waste!” Chen Niannian looked at Tang Qing’s beautiful face and the good figure that couldn’t be hidden under the ordinary clothes, full of confidence:

“I’m definitely going to dress you up as the sexiest male vixen tonight!”
