The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 63 (Patreon)

Chapter 63

A week later, Ling Chunann was transferred out of the intensive care unit.

Although the Bai family wasn't wealthy, they owned a small company. With both Mr. and Mrs. Bai busy, and Bai Zimu not being close to his family, once they learned he was out of danger, his parents hardly visited. However, they did care about their son, so Ling Chunann was placed in the ICU.

"How cold-hearted," Ling Chunann sighed on the second day in the ICU.

During this time, 098, who had been constantly thinking about the man, suddenly felt a jolt. Why did it feel like there was more to what the host was saying?

"I need to use the bathroom, yet no one noticed."

"... "

"Hello, I'm your attending physician. My name is Yuan Zhengxing, but you can call me Dr. Yuan. Your body is too weak right now. I suggest you don't move recklessly; otherwise, your wounds could reopen, causing secondary injuries."

As Ling Chunann attempted to sit up and grope for the tube, a gentle male voice entered his ears.

"098, what does he look like?"

"Host, he's 1.88 meters tall, slender build. It's hard to tell his figure under the clothes, but by human aesthetic standards, he's quite handsome," 098 said, then added, "Even more handsome than the male lead in this world."

"I like his voice. 098, can you find detailed information?" After the man had taken care of his physiological needs and left, Ling Chunann lay back down and asked.

In the original text, there were no male gods in the hospital. Perhaps it was because the male lead rarely visited the hospital, so it wasn't mentioned.

"Host, I couldn't find any information on this person." From the moment the man appeared, 098 had been searching the database but to no avail. "There's no mention of him in the original text, no indirect description either, and..."

"Go on," Ling Chunann interrupted 098's hesitation.

098's tone was strange. "Host, I've checked the population registers of the nearby areas and the cities involved in the plot, and I'm sure there's no information on a doctor named Yuan Zhengxing. But just now, after he revealed his identity, I checked the hospital system, and his personal information appeared out of nowhere." It had thought Yuan Zhengxing might be that man, so it had also checked his soul fluctuations, only to be disappointed.

"Got it," Ling Chunann replied. After a long pause, he asked again, "098, did you forget to tell me what the task is this time?"

Since arriving in this world, he had been constantly worried, and now, with this unexpected situation, 098 finally snapped back to reality and realized it hadn't assigned a task to Ling Chunann. "Sorry, host, I'll retrieve the task immediately."

Ling Chunann nodded.

"Your task is to, one, prevent the male lead from being together with the male protagonist; two, leave the male protagonist with nothing; three, unknown task, to be revealed."

"Huh?"

"Host, an unknown task is a random task. Usually, it only appears among advanced task completers. You're still a beginner, so it's unusual for this to happen."

098 thought Ling Chunann would continue questioning, but after waiting for a while, it received no response from its host.

With a careful glance at Ling Chunann, it found him expressionless, his unfocused black eyes staring without blinking. "Host, are you okay?"

Ling Chunann didn't answer 098. He slowly pulled his hand out from under the blanket. His wrist was thin and pale, tinged with the unhealthy pallor of excessive blood loss. However, what caught the eye wasn't this, but his hand, almost blurred from being clawed.

This wasn't the first time.

In the past half month, 098 had seen many such wounds on Ling Chunann's hands, which was why it was so anxious to find that man's whereabouts. But what surprised 098 was that Ling Chunann had endured so much, yet he hadn't bitten himself once, always calmly healing the wounds as if nothing had happened.

It seemed that Ling Chunann's feelings for that man weren't as indifferent as he pretended. Even if it wasn't love, at least there was some care. Thinking of the promises that fellow had made, forbidding Ling Chunann to bite himself each time, 098 felt like giving him a beating for deceiving its host's feelings!

Ling Chunann's mental state wasn't too good to begin with, but it seemed like it had improved a bit between these two worlds. It was prepared to witness the lovey-dovey scenes in each world, but that guy didn't show up!

However, this time, 098 noticed that Ling Chunann seemed unwilling to endure it any longer.

"Host, please calm down." Seeing Ling Chunann's hand getting closer to his mouth, 098 hurriedly intervened. "Wait a bit longer. He might come later."

"Hmm?" Ling Chunann looked puzzled. "098, how did you know I'm not calm?"

098: "... " It was obvious everywhere, but just by listening to Ling Chunann's voice, it was hard to tell anything wrong.

"And how did you know I was waiting for someone?"

"Aren't you waiting for him?" 098 guessed.

"You're overthinking it." Ling Chunann denied 098's speculation. His voice remained steady. "I'm just testing how long I can hold out. The longest record so far is half a month."

Hearing Ling Chunann's words, although 098 still had some doubts, it couldn't find any refutation and could only watch as his arm moved towards his mouth.

Just as Ling Chunann was about to bite himself, the door to the ward slammed open.

Ling Chunann's movement paused slightly as his wrist was grabbed. Perhaps because he had rushed over, the man's palm was slightly sweaty and trembling, and it felt uncomfortably warm.

"What are you doing?"

Ling Chunann turned towards the man, "Who are you?"

The man's movements stiffened for a moment, but he didn't retract his hand. "Your name is Bai Zimu, right? I'm Mo Yuzheng, your mother's friend. I heard you were injured, so I came to see you. We used to be like siblings when she was in the orphanage, so you can call me Uncle."

"My mother's friend?" Ling Chunann sounded puzzled. "I've never heard of you."

"Host, Bai Zimu isn't close to his family, and since Mr. and Mrs. Bai are busy, it's normal for them not to mention this person," 098 reminded. "Soul fluctuations detected." It breathed a sigh of relief when it said the latter sentence; finally, he had come.

Mo Yuzheng's gaze paused on Ling Chunann's eyes, a hint of hostility flashed in them, but it quickly subsided. Sitting down by the bed, he reached out to touch Ling Chunann's head. "Were you trying to bite yourself just now?"

"Yeah," Ling Chunann nodded. "Is it not allowed?"

"Host, biting yourself like that might scare people away," the man obviously didn't remember anything from before.

Ling Chunann said, "If they run away, I can find new food."

Whether startled by Ling Chunann's words or for some other reason, the man furrowed his brow, released Ling Chunann's wrist, which he hadn't let go of since he came in, and then silently got up and hurriedly left.

"He's really gone, Host," 098's heart skipped a beat, afraid that Ling Chunann might bite himself again. That man had never treated the host like this before. Could it be because there was no novelty anymore?

"Understood," Ling Chunann replied solemnly, then asked, "Do you think he'll come back?"

Thinking of the man's resolute departure just now, 098 wasn't too sure, but it was also afraid of hurting the host's feelings, so it hesitated to answer.

"Three." At this moment, Ling Chunann suddenly began to count.

098 was taken aback.

"Two."

098: "Huh?"

"One."

As Ling Chunann finished speaking, the door was pushed open again from outside, and the man's figure reappeared. It took him three minutes from leaving to returning.

He closed the door and walked a few steps to Ling Chunann's side. Carefully, he helped him up and offered his still slightly damp arm to his mouth. "I've disinfected it just now."

098: "... " This sudden display of affection caught it off guard.

Ling Chunann was never one for niceties. Upon hearing this, he actually bit down on Mo Yuzheng's arm.

Fifteen minutes later, as he looked at the man's bone-chillingly bare arm, 098 took in a sharp breath of cold air. The host had truly shown no mercy this time.

The host must be angry. After all, this time the man had made him wait for so long. Although he hadn't shown it, 098 could clearly feel Ling Chunann's suppressed emotions during this time.

"Are you full?" Seeing Ling Chunann stop, Mo Yuzheng asked, as he had countless times before, as he carefully wiped away the bloodstains from Ling Chunann's mouth.

"Yeah," Ling Chunann smiled at Mo Yuzheng. "Thanks, Uncle."

"You're welcome."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of a nurse came in, "Young Master Bai, I've brought your meal."

Fortunately, whenever Ling Chunann bit someone, he always made sure to clean the blood from the wound. Combined with the man's excellent recovery ability, there were only a few drops of blood on the bedsheet.

Glancing at the still unhealed wound, the man reached out with his other intact hand to pat Ling Chunann's head, then rolled down his shirt sleeve to cover the now bloodless wound, put on his suit jacket, and called out to the door, "Come in."

The irresponsible nurse heard voices from inside and saw the imposing figure of the tall man. Her expression stiffened slightly, "Hello, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm Wood Wood's uncle. I just rushed back from out of town today." Mo Yuzheng glanced at the clock on the wall, pointing at the two. "Your lunch is two hours late."

"Yes, I'm sorry, I won't be late next time."

"You don't have to come again in the future."

"Sir, I'm really sorry, I was delayed on the road today because of something urgent," the nurse said, looking flustered. "Please give me another chance."

"Wasn't I clear enough?" Mo Yuzheng squinted at the still pleading nurse.

"Yes, I'm sorry." The nurse seemed frightened and took two steps back, her face pale. "Then, I'll, I'll leave now." After speaking, she didn't even put down the food box in her hand, but quickly retreated out of the ward.

In the following days, Mo Yuzheng did not arrange for a new nurse for Ling Chunann, but personally took on that role.

However, he was clearly very busy. The phone kept ringing in the early days, but later he simply turned it off, accompanying Ling Chunann until he was discharged from the hospital.

After several months in the hospital, Ling Chunann's external and internal injuries had basically healed, but his legs and eyes still needed time.

Although Mo Yuzheng strongly recommended Ling Chunann to rest at his home, he was refused by Ling Chunann.

"Host, why did you refuse him?" 098 was puzzled.

"When I was in the hospital, my good brother didn't come to see me, and I was very sad."

"..."

"So I have to go back and wait for him."

Bai Zimu lived alone and didn't live with the Bai family. Speaking of which, he was also a somewhat famous figure in the online pairing circle, with a voice that was currently the most popular, elegant, and gentle... Among those voices. He had acted in several dramas and could be considered quite popular.

"I don't really understand why even the voices have to be divided into top and bottom?" 

"Maybe because... it's too boring," 098 said.

"098, you're quite insightful," Ling Chunann praised.

"Thank you, host," 098 replied, "Actually, if you want to be the top, I think you have a chance." After all, this man accommodated his host in every way possible, but the height difference was a bit difficult to imagine. A 1.9-meter-tall man being pressed down by his 1.7-meter-tall host was quite a scene.
