How is it so dark?
And why does his head hurt so much?
Lin Hao slowly woke up from his sleep. Although his consciousness was clear, the discomfort in his body grew more severe.
His entire body felt as if it had been run over by a giant flying battleship, especially the back of his head, which felt like it had been hit hard.
?
Thinking of this, Lin Hao immediately opened his eyes. But after opening them and seeing the decorations in the room, he was completely stunned.
This wasn't his room.
Although the room was luxuriously decorated, there were no elements similar to his own room.
What on earth was this place?
Why had he come to such a place after sleeping?
He clearly remembered that yesterday, Erfa and...
Thinking of this, a scene suddenly flashed in Lin Hao's mind.
The house they were living in was suddenly invaded by a giant vine, and all the bugs outside the door were lying in pools of blood. Even so, they were slowly crawling towards the house.
Through the main door, Chongchong saw Zai Zai standing on the stairs in shock.
Before Chongchong could warn Zai Zai to escape, the vine immediately slammed the main door shut.
Aslan, who remained here, saw the vine that suddenly appeared. Before he could say anything, his chest was pierced by one of its small tentacles.
It seemed he had been ambushed by the vine from behind.
As he lost consciousness, his thoughts were not of fear, but of his failure to protect the Chongchongs, and even a trace of longing for Qin Mohan's icy demeanor.
After recalling everything, Lin Hao immediately became alert.
This was not a good place.
He really wanted to go back and see how Chongchong was doing.
At that time, they hadn't said anything, just stared at him blankly.
Perhaps they were saying, 'King, run quickly.'
At that time, when he saw the vine, he frantically typed in the group chat: "Get away from here, get away quickly."
But the response was not the usual 999+ replies, but silence.
Seeing this scene, Lin Hao didn't say anything more in the group chat.
Because he already knew that whoever could come to Bug King Star alone without being discovered by the bugs was definitely not of the original level.
For now, he would wait and see. At least there was no immediate danger to his life.
As soon as he could escape, he would immediately run to find the bugs.
Having figured this out, Lin Hao got out of bed. As he was about to reach the door, he saw that the slightly closed door was suddenly pushed open a crack.
This sudden change made Lin Hao instantly tense.
Could it be that the person behind this had come?
Last time they had a meeting in the Federation, did they know he was a threat to their plan, and thus went to any lengths to abduct him?
Thinking of this, Lin Hao slowly gathered a flame with his mental power on his hand.
If the person behind this really came, he would throw this at them.
Perhaps this could resolve this huge problem.
However, when he saw the head peeking through the doorway, he froze on the spot.
Why was it Fei'er who came in?
Was she the protagonist behind all of this?
But she had always been by Zhao Jianye's side, how could she have come into contact with such terrifying creatures?
And that creature had killed Qin Mohan several times.
Hadn't Fei'er been engaged to Qin Mohan for several years?
She had no reason to harm her fiancé.
So what was the truth of all this?
Even though Lin Hao had suspicions about Fei'er in his heart, the moment he saw her, he extinguished the flame in his hand.
Zhao Fei'er, who pushed the door open, saw Lin Hao inside. The frightened expression on her face instantly vanished. Instead, she flung the door open and said to Lin Hao, "Bug King, do you remember me? We met at the Federation meeting last month."
After saying this, she performed a perfect courtly bow to Lin Hao.
"Do you know where this is?" Lin Hao asked, looking at Zhao Fei'er's head.
Fei'er was indeed beautiful. Even without an elaborate court dress, it was hard to hide her charm.
"I don't know. I just woke up here today. I looked in several rooms earlier and didn't find anyone. I was terrified. Fortunately, I found you." After hearing Lin Hao's question, Zhao Fei'er looked up at Lin Hao's eyes, her voice tinged with fear.
But as she reached the last few words, her expression suddenly became agitated, and she spoke somewhat incoherently, "No, it's not that I'm glad you were also captured. I was just suddenly seeing a familiar face and became incoherent. I hope Bug King can forget my rudeness just now."
Lin Hao, standing opposite Zhao Fei'er, simply looked at the young woman before him.
Then he said, "I don't blame you. Don't think too much. Our main task now is to figure out how to escape."
After saying these words, Lin Hao walked past Zhao Fei'er and out of the room.
Behind Lin Hao, Zhao Fei'er looked at the Bug King's retreating back, the corners of her mouth curving upwards.
'It seems the Bug King isn't susceptible to beauty,' she thought.
Suddenly remembering something amusing, Zhao Fei'er's panicked expression disappeared. Instead, with a hint of happiness, she strode to Lin Hao's side.
As Lin Hao searched for an exit, he had been continuously sending messages in the group chat.
However, there were still no replies from any bugs.
It seemed that this villa was also equipped with some kind of restriction, interfering even with the bugs' innate communication methods.
This was truly troublesome.
Lin Hao and Zhao Fei'er circled the villa several times, but after reaching a certain point, they suddenly found themselves back at the beginning.
Given this situation, the person who captured him was clearly unwilling to let them leave.
After days of unremitting efforts by Lin Hao and Zhao Fei'er, they finally managed to get out of the villa and reached the area outside.
However, as they tried to move further out, a new restriction appeared.
This person treated them like small animals, not only not shortchanging their food but also arranging a place for them to exercise—the back garden.
A pure European-style pavilion appeared before them, and many flowers bloomed in the garden.
Despite the abundance of flowers, the small white flowers in the corner were particularly conspicuous in Lin Hao's eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Hao glanced back at Zhao Fei'er. Zhao Fei'er, seeing him look at her, simply smiled politely and said nothing.
Lin Hao saw Zhao Fei'er's expression and a scene suddenly flashed in his mind.
With somewhat rapid steps, he approached the small white flower, bent down, and with a serious expression, plucked the flower.
For so many years, he had harbored a deep desire—to personally present a Platycodon grandiflorus to her.
Now, even though he had been reincarnated and she no longer remembered him, and their statuses could never return to what they were before, he still wanted to give this to her.
With a hint of nervousness on his face, he brought the flower to Zhao Fei'er and stammered, "This... is for you. I hope you are like this flower."
I hope you are like it, cherished in someone's hands forever.
I hope you are like it, forever beloved by all.
Zhao Fei'er, who had been admiring the garden scenery nearby, turned her head and saw this scene. A flicker of surprise appeared in her eyes, but she quickly regained her perfect composure and said to Lin Hao, "Thank you, Bug King. I will cherish it dearly."
And so, they spent a rather pleasant afternoon.
Meanwhile, in Zhao Fei'er's room.
She looked at the small white flower in her hand and let out a soft 'he,' then crushed it in her hand.
Without a trace of emotion in her eyes, she tossed it onto the ground.
Little Theater:
Plot incoming.
Little Qinzi: I think I'm the most wronged male protagonist in all novels. Wuwuwuwu, always living in his memories, his dreams, just not in the author's pen.
Popcorn: Cough cough cough →_→ Not really.
