Chapter 98: Revelation from Dreams

Before Zhou Cheng entered the ward, he heard a lively conversation in the suite. After pushing the door open, he saw Su Qingyan lying on the small table and laughing, Lu Ze was standing by the bed performing something, and sitting behind them was a young man he had never seen before.

"Zhou Cheng, you're finally here. Please take care of Lu Ze. He's going crazy." Su Qingyan straightened up and said to Zhou Cheng.

"It's too noisy, you need to rest." Zhou Cheng's brows have been furrowed since he entered the room.

When Lu Ze saw Zhou Cheng coming in, he immediately fell silent. He was really afraid of Zhou Cheng.

"Zhou Cheng, this is my high school classmate, Bian Qi." Su Qingyan did not forget the business and introduced Bian Qi to Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng looked at Bian Qi with some suspicion. He really couldn't imagine that he was the same age as Su Qingyan and Lu Ze.

"Master Bian Qi just told Dad he'll be discharged soon," Lu Ze interrupted.

Zhou Cheng’s brows furrowed more and more tightly.

I've been working day and night to treat you, and now you want to rely on metaphysics?

"Hello." Zhou Cheng extended his hand to Bian Qi with some coldness.

When Bian Qi saw Zhou Cheng reaching out his hand, the expression on his face became less cold.

"You guys chat, I still have to go back."

Bian Qi shook hands with Zhou Cheng lightly, then quickly let go and said goodbye and prepared to leave.

"Master, are you going into the mountains again?" Su Qingyan asked him.

"It depends on fate."

Bian Qi nodded at them, turned and left, and the corner of his clothes flashed past the door and he disappeared.

Lu Ze keenly felt that the air pressure in the ward dropped immediately after Bian Qi closed the door, so he quickly picked up his coat and said he would see Bian Qi off, then left on the pretext of something.

"What's wrong?" Su Qingyan reached out to Zhou Cheng for a hug, then smoothed Zhou Cheng's brows with her fingers.

"What are you doing? Is this monk your high school classmate?" Zhou Cheng hugged Su Qingyan and then let him go.

"He was talking nonsense, saying that he met a master who enlightened him, so he went into the mountains to practice." Su Qingyan saw that Zhou Cheng was a little far away from him, so he reached out and pulled him back.

"Your friends are weirder than each other." Zhou Cheng rubbed Su Qingyan's hair.

"Why do you look so sad?" Su Qingyan felt that Zhou Cheng seemed exhausted.

"It's all because of you. Let me hold you for a while." Zhou Cheng said as he hugged Su Qingyan and lay down with him.

"Director Xu said that my test indicators are improving, so you don't have to be too nervous." Su Qingyan patted his back gently.

"I know."

After being patted like that, Zhou Cheng actually began to feel drowsy. Seeing that he was so well behaved, he decided to bring up the past later.

Who would have thought that he slept for several hours and had not woken up until noon. He kept holding Su Qingyan tightly, not letting him leave at all.

When the doctor came to check on Su Qingyan, he kept making gestures for silence, and when the nurse came to give him an injection, she tiptoed in, for fear of waking Zhou Cheng up.

But Zhou Cheng did not sleep well.

In his dream, he returned to the research institute again. The hateful golden powder suddenly flew up by itself, hung in the air, and then formed many complex chemical formulas. These chemical formulas all pointed to the same target, and related drug literature and clinical research popped up like hyperlinks.

Zhou Cheng looked at these shocking scenes, his mind racing.

"Zhou Cheng?"

It was already lunchtime, and the nurse brought in a carefully prepared meal tray. Su Qingyan saw that Zhou Cheng, who was lying in her arms, still had his eyes closed, but his eyeballs were constantly moving, and a thin layer of sweat was oozing from his forehead. She hesitantly called his name softly.

But after calling out several times, Zhou Cheng didn't respond. Su Qingyan couldn't help but worry, thinking that he might be having a nightmare, so she shook Zhou Cheng's shoulder.

After being shaken awake, Zhou Cheng stared blankly for a few seconds, then quickly sat up.

"What's wrong? Are you dreaming?" Su Qingyan was shocked by his reaction.

"I'm going to the lab and will be back soon." After Zhou Cheng said that, he got out of bed and ran out.

Zhou Cheng kept thinking over the content of his dream. This dream was completely different from his previous bizarre dreams. Every picture was logical. If it was really as demonstrated in the dream, then all the problems he encountered would be solved.

Zhou Cheng drove very fast, the engine roar piercing the quiet of the afternoon suburban streets, startling flocks of sparrows as they foraged. He was desperate to verify the contents of his dream, so he rushed back to the institute and locked himself in the lab.

Su Qingyan had never seen Zhou Cheng in this state before. Even when he encountered an armed attack before, he was calm and not as anxious as he was now.

Su Qingyan was afraid that he might get into an accident on the way because he was in such a hurry, so she called him, but Zhou Cheng said a few words and hung up.

Su Qingyan thought he was still busy in the laboratory at the university, so she asked Lu Ze to go over and check it out. However, when Lu Ze arrived, he was told that Zhou Cheng had not been there for several days. Su Qingyan was very surprised to hear this news, but when he called Zhou Cheng again, no one answered.

Su Qingyan felt that she had really changed. In the past, she would complain about everything when things went wrong, even if it meant spending all her money to make herself comfortable. But now, she felt restless and indecisive. Her mind told her that Zhou Cheng was usually so busy, so maybe he was dealing with some difficult problem right now. But she couldn't help but wonder if he was really messing up.

Then he reflected on how he could have judged others by his own standards. Zhou Cheng was such a serious person, and all the assumptions he was worried about were not true.

"Dad...are you making pancakes?" Lu Ze couldn't bear to see him tossing and turning, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Lu Ze, do you think Zhou Cheng is cheating on me?"

Lu Ze was so frightened by Su Qingyan's explosive remarks that he almost fell off his chair.

"Dad... is your condition getting worse? What's it called? Hepatic encephalopathy?" Lu Ze put down the snacks in his hand, walked to Su Qingyan, and used the palm of his hand to test the temperature of his forehead.

"Then where did he go?" Su Qingyan asked, looking at the ceiling.

Seeing that he had given up resisting his physical contact, Lu Ze realized that this was a huge blow.

"Dr. Zhou has been busy treating your illness for how long? And you still suspect him of cheating? I'm speaking out for him."

Lu Ze released his hand and rang the call bell.

"Eh? Why are you ringing the bell? I don't have hepatic encephalopathy." Su Qingyan went to stop him.

"Brother, wake up. The medicine is finished. It's time to change it." Lu Ze sighed, thinking that Su Qingyan was really screwed this time. He fell in love and his IQ also dropped to the bottom.
