Chapter 278 Memory Recovery

Zhou Yanshu lay in the warm water without moving.

The moderate water temperature could effectively soothe his nerves, but Zhou Yanshu soaked in it for five or six days. The long time caused his muscles to become soft, his bones to ache, and his whole body to become weak and powerless.

Zhou Yanshu slowly clenched his palm, only to find that his fingers were weak and it was difficult to clench. His pupils moved, and he thought for a moment before he exhaled with restraint.

"When my late husband was alive, he would thoughtfully help me wipe and dress myself."

Yu Zhuo had just drained the water in the bathtub. He paused when he heard the sound and looked up at Zhou Yanshu.

Zhou Yanshu was not too embarrassed to lie naked in the bathtub. He had a standard sleeping position, his hands placed on his abdomen with his fingers crossed, his eyelashes half drooped, as if he was just speaking casually.

Yu Zhuo snorted and pulled the towel next to him to wipe his body: "I know, I know, your damn husband is very considerate."

Zhou Yanshu raised his arms, and Yuzhuo simply wiped his upper body. He then moved forward and hugged Yuzhuo's neck.

"You can be as considerate as him," Zhou Yanshu hinted.

Yu Zhuo: “…”

"Am I not considerate?" Yu Zhuo pulled the towel down. Zhou Yanshu had long legs, but his skin was extremely pale, and he looked gloomy and dead.

Yu Zhuo eased up when he touched that spot. He pressed the curve of Zhou Yanshu's back while speaking, rubbing it implicitly: "Can he be like me?"

Zhou Yanshu's body stiffened slightly. He sneered and made no comment.

"The doctor said that you have regained feeling in your legs and will be able to stand up slowly later." Yuzhuo helped him put on his underwear, and he asked, "How did you get injured?"

Zhou Yanshu did not answer. He lay on Yuzhuo's back and skipped Yuzhuo's question: "It's just a minor injury, don't worry about it."

Yu Zhuo didn't care. He said, "Tamo doesn't know yet. Andel is keeping it a secret for you. There are fewer guards outside. This period of time is the best opportunity."

"I know." Zhou Yanshu sneered, "He thinks I'm a useless person, so I am a useless person. It's up to him... Why don't you let me put on pants?"

Yu Zhuo paused in his steps. He pinched Zhou Yanshu's thigh and felt the skin there was cold. "You're not going out, why are you wearing it?"

He also had to water Zhou Yanshu's fish tail later, and it was time-consuming and laborious to do so.

"Really..." Zhou Yanshu smiled and said with a cryptic tone, "According to what you said, if I don't go out, does that mean I don't need to wear underwear?"

Yu Zhuo stood there and thought for a moment: "Hmm... you want this? I can accept it."

Zhou Yanshu: "..."

He climbed onto the bed and pulled the quilt over his lower body.

When Yu Zhuo turned to the black heart in his phone again, it had been fully upgraded. It was full of energy and far more complete and advanced than what Yu Zhuo had created before.

Yu Zhuo leaned back in the seat without saying a word. He stared at the app on his phone, his thoughts drifting away for some unknown reason.

Lu Xun...

Ah Ran...

In fact, Zhou Yanshu did not call out anyone's name when he was unconscious.

Except for the occasional sound of water when he turned over, he fell into a deep sleep the rest of the time without making any unusual sounds.

But he actually acknowledged Lu Xun's existence.

The same was true for Ah Ran. Although Zhou Yanshu did not give a clear answer, Yu Zhuo could see some clues from his expression.

These two people are just fragments of souls trying to survive. Why does Zhou Yanshu remember them?

Who gave him the system energy?

Yu Zhuo's head ached, and he looked at the little black heart on his phone, feeling dryness around his eyes. This software that can connect to the outside world, on the other side are countless planets.

If Yu Zhuo has been to a place, Zhou Yanshu has also been there with the help of the system's energy.

So what role did he play in it?

Lu Xun...Lin Xuqiu...

Prince Aran...

"Fabian, after I die, you must do your best to assist Edrien. ...You cannot leave the Zerg within five years."

"Your Majesty, you are so cruel to me."

"Fabian...if you and I could have worm cubs..."

Yuzhuo's fingertips paused above the phone screen.

Prince Aran - Fabian.

“Ding Dong.”

The doorbell rang outside. Yu Zhuo returned to his senses, stood up and walked to the window.

The mermaid soldiers outside stood in two rows at the door, making way for the people behind them. The young man who got out of the car was wearing a military cap. His military uniform was pure black, with a mermaid-shaped pale gold badge on his chest.

After he got out of the car, he walked towards the door without looking around. The guards standing at the door stepped aside and made way for him.

"General Lin Shuang, please come in."

Yu Zhuo was leaning against the wall. When he heard the sound, he paused, then opened the door and went outside.

Zhou Yanshu still stayed on the first floor. Daytime was the key period for guards to monitor, so Zhou Yanshu spent his time reading and resting on the first floor.

Yu Zhuo was lying on the railing on the second floor, half supporting his cheek and looking down.

Lin Shuang is only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old this year. He started leading troops to war when he was in his teens. Now he is still covered in dust after returning, but the aura around him is strong and intimidating, and he is no less than any other general.

Yu Zhuo couldn't hear clearly what they were saying from above. When Zhou Yanshu saw Lin Shuang, he didn't say much. He just asked the servant to pour him tea, and the two of them exchanged some polite words.

Lin Shuang seemed to have injured his eyes when he returned from this expedition. Half of his left eye was tied with a bandage, and there were blood stains on it.

"...This is the invitation from His Majesty. There are not many people invited to this celebration banquet. Please do me the honor." Lin Shuang placed the invitation on the long table. He leaned over and looked up at Zhou Yanshu's face. Zhou Yanshu was holding a cup of hot tea and did not show too much emotion for a while.

Lin Shuang had heard of the deeds of the previous king, and although hundreds of years had passed, he was still deeply impressed by Zhou Yanshu.

Zhou Yanshu is the only prince who has ascended the throne as an Omega in the mermaid tribe in thousands of years. His name has inspired his Omega fellows for a long time.

Even though Lin Shuang is an Alpha, he knows something about Zhou Yanshu in private.

"…If you are not feeling well, you don't have to go. This is just my celebration banquet, not a big deal. If you don't have time, I will go back and report to His Majesty…"

Lin Shuang looked at Zhou Yanshu's legs, lowered his head and spoke in a slow tone.

Tamo's habit of humiliating people has not changed over the years. Lin Shuang knew that Tamo was planning to invite Zhou Yanshu to come this time - but it was just to make fun of him.

Zhou Yanshu's face was pale. He twirled the invitation with his fingertips and said, "I..."

"We will go anyway. It is our honor to be invited by His Majesty."

Before Zhou Yanshu finished speaking, the invitation in his hand was snatched away by someone. Lin Shuang was stunned when he saw this and turned his head to look behind him.
