TLCBITAR Chapter 16

Chapter 16: This isn’t stamina! This is a disease!

【Ugh, I knew I shouldn’t have come. You guys just chat, when are we going to eat?】

【Let’s have a cup of tea to stave off the hunger…】

Pei Yanlie frowned fiercely, tilting his head slightly, his peripheral vision landing on Zhou Zhou’s crotch.

Zhou Zhou leaned lazily against the back of his chair, his legs crossed, his calf gently shaking.

He reached for the teacup, tilted his chin slightly, and drained it in one gulp, his Adam’s apple bobbing sensually on his fair neck.

Pei Yanlie’s frown gradually eased, and his tightly pursed thin lips also returned to a straight line.

The short, fat man sitting across from Zhou Zhou asked, “Zhou Zhou, I heard from your brother that you’re studying at Beicheng University, right?”

Zhou Zhou raised his eyes to look at him and gave a soft “Mhm.”

“Haha, then aren’t you Pei’s junior! Pei’s alma mater is Beicheng.”

Zhou Zhou naturally knew this. He tilted his head to look at Pei Yanlie, curving his eyes into a smile. “Hello, Senior Pei.”

His smile was too bright, revealing two sharp canine teeth, adding a bit of playfulness to his handsome face.

Pei Yanlie’s fingertips twitched slightly, and he looked at him expressionlessly. Beneath his thick eyebrows, his eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly, his gaze extremely deep, the depths like an unfathomable cold pool.

He nodded slightly, his Adam’s apple bobbing, and uttered a deep “Mhm.”

【Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm? Besides “mhm,” what else can you say?】

The coldness and aloofness emanating from Pei Yanlie became even stronger.

Zhou Zhou did not shift his gaze, openly and honestly scrutinizing him, his smooth chin slightly raised, his rosy lips slightly parted. “I had the pleasure of meeting Senior Pei on the first day of school. Do you remember me?”

Pei Yanlie did not look at him, sitting bolt upright, his head slightly lowered, his slender fingers slowly and methodically adjusting his cuffs, the diamond watch on his wrist appearing and disappearing.

After about ten seconds, he glanced at Zhou Zhou indifferently, his cold, monotonous voice sounding unkind, “Don’t remember.”

Zhou Zhou’s pupils constricted slightly, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably. His fingertips gently caressed the warm teacup, and he gave a lazy “Oh.”

【Looks like he really is going through menopause, his memory is so bad!】

【What a boring and dull man, I can’t understand why Su Wanxing would like him!】

【Ugh, to think that the goddess will eventually fall into this man’s arms, I get a heart attack just thinking about it!】

Pei Yanlie only felt that it was incomprehensible. Were the evil spirits of today so unrestrained? Chattering incessantly in his mind, disturbing his peace of mind.

As for what the boy said about the male lead and female lead, he didn’t take it to heart at all.

His fate, Pei Yanlie’s fate, would only be controlled by himself, how could it be swayed by these evil spirits!

It seemed that he had to ask a master to take a trip to Beicheng University to prevent these evil spirits from coming out to wreak havoc on the world, disrupt social order, and erode people’s hearts.

Pei Yanlie believed that he had been bewitched by this evil spirit at some point, otherwise, why would those moist phoenix eyes, as if soaked in water, appear in his mind from time to time?

Zhou Jin held his hands together on the table and turned to look at the powerful man next to him. “President Pei, Huanyu Games has designed a new online game. Are you interested in learning about it?”

“Tell me,” Pei Yanlie nodded, his voice still cold.

Perhaps he was just like that by nature. Zhou Jin and the others were used to it and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

“This online game is aimed at adults only, and the background is set in the future starry sky…”

Zhou Zhou supported his chin with one hand, lowered his head, and stared intently at the screen of his phone.

The conversation next to him was too boring. He couldn’t hear a word, so he put on his earphones and clicked on a dog-blood love drama to continue watching.

On the screen, a man and a woman were tumbling together, engaging in indescribable things.

【As expected of azhā nán – scumbag, he’s actually rolling around in bed with the female supporting character!】

【Ahhhhh! Stop shouting, it’s making my blood boil!】

Zhou Jin asked worriedly, “President Pei, your face looks a little pale, are you not feeling well?”

Pei Yanlie cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, “I’m fine.”

Zhou Zhou, wearing earphones, was watching intently, an excited look on his face. A thin blush rose on his fair cheeks, his rosy lips slightly parted, and his slightly rapid breathing was hidden in the conversation.

Pei Yanlie only felt a burst of panting constantly invading his mind, his breathing stagnating instantly, his throat rolling, and he inexplicably felt parched.

He picked up the newly replaced cup and took a sip of tea, slightly relieving the dryness in his throat.

His peripheral vision swept across Zhou Zhou’s face. The other party was looking down, his face completely red. His thick, curled eyelashes hid his phoenix eyes, full of amorous feelings, casting a small shadow on his lower eyelids.

His rosy lips pursed slightly, then slowly opened again, and a subtle panting sound escaped from his mouth.

His gaze fell on the phone in front of the person, and he thought, “He really is a lecherous evil spirit, watching pornographic movies in public.”

【Ugh, is thiszhā nán – scumbag okay? He finished so quickly?】

【If it were me, don’t even think about getting out of bed for two hours!】

Pei Yanlie lowered his eyes and snorted coldly in his heart.

【According to the female lead, Pei Yanlie takes three hours each time. I wonder if it’s true!】

【Heavens! This isn’t stamina! This is a disease!】

Pei Yanlie took a deep breath, and his hand, which was hanging down under the table, clenched into a fist, the blue veins on the back of his hand bulging, as if he was about to reach his limit.

After Zhou Jin slowly said a lot of words, he found that Pei Yanlie was a little absent-minded, and couldn’t help but ask, “President Pei? What do you think of this online game?”

He said unhurriedly, “Mhm, it’s pretty good.”

A flash of light quickly flashed across Zhou Jin’s eyes beneath his glasses. The shortcomings of this online game were quite obvious, but Pei Yanlie didn’t notice it.

Time gradually approached seven thirty, and finally the dishes were served.

Zhou Zhou closed the screen of his phone, took off his earphones, and gently licked his dry upper lip, his eyes moving with the dishes.

【Damn it, my tapeworms are about to starve to death!】

【I will never come to this kind of stupid gathering again.】

He picked up the serving chopsticks and couldn’t wait to pick up a vegetable and gnaw on it.

【Pure natural vegetables are really sweet, crisp, and refreshing, delicious!】

He squinted his eyes, a look of enjoyment on his face, his cheeks filled with food, bulging like a little hamster.

Zhou Jin leaned over to him and said softly, “Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you.”

“Ugh… I’m going to faint from hunger.” Zhou Zhou tilted his head to look at him, frowning slightly as he muttered.

His peripheral vision met Pei Yanlie’s unfathomable eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

【Eat yours, what are you looking at me for! Don’t tell me you really like me?!】

【Don’t! I’m a straight man! You can look at me ten thousand times and I still won’t fall in love with you!】

【Don’t let me down! You’re a married man! You can’t be eating from the bowl while looking at the pot.】

Pei Yanlie turned his head back, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the rolling anger within him gradually subsided, until it returned to a dark, deep pool.

He took out his phone, sent a message to his assistant, and then posted a post on the help forum.

Help, how to deal with being possessed by an evil spirit that speaks nonsense?

Zhou Zhou shoveled a mouthful of rice, chewing it deliciously, and glanced at Pei Yanlie again out of the corner of his eye, continuing to complain in his heart.

【Has the male lead gone into hibernation? Does he still poop?】

Pei Yanlie stood up, picked up the cigarette case next to the table, and walked towards the door of the private room, leaving behind a cold and indifferent sentence, “Going out for a smoke.”
