TLCBITAR Chapter 34
by Volare“Senior Pei, I feel so bad that you had to personally drive me back to school.”
【Isn’t your family driver just for show? Don’t think I didn’t see you kick someone else out of the car!】
【What are you plotting!】
Pei Yanlie sat ramrod straight, his slender, powerful hands gripping the steering wheel. The veins on the back of his hands throbbed as these words flooded his mind.
Zhou Zhou sat in the passenger seat, casting a sidelong glance at the other’s hand, and internally grumbled again.
【Does Pei Yanlie have varicose veins?】
【The author didn’t describe this condition, did they?】
His gaze involuntarily drifted to the other’s profile, the ice-sculpted features even more profound.
That profile alone could captivate countless young girls and old women.
【Tsk tsk, no wonder he’s the male lead, so handsome it’s outrageous.】
Pei Yanlie glanced sideways, the corners of his mouth imperceptibly lifting in a slight arc, quickly suppressed as if it had never appeared.
This feeling of smug satisfaction made his heart sink. He hadn’t expected this evil spirit to be so powerful, bewitching him with just a few words.
His leather shoe slowly pressed down, and the car sped up. He only wanted to get this person back to school as quickly as possible.
As the car passed Fengmin Avenue, Zhou Zhou seemed to sense something. He straightened up and turned his head to look outside.
This was the site of the traffic accident, wasn’t it? A chill suddenly enveloped him, as if he were being watched by a malicious ghost. His hair gradually stood on end.
【It really is eerie. Luckily, I didn’t come out that day, or I would have kicked the bucket for sure!】
He rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, a hint of lingering fear rising in his eyes.
An inquisitive gaze fell on him. He turned his head to look at Pei Yanlie, asking in puzzlement, “Why is Senior Pei looking at me?”
Pei Yanlie only glanced at him before shifting his gaze away, his thin lips parting slightly as he coldly asked, “Why did you possess Zhou Zhou’s body?”
A very direct question, proving that Pei Yanlie already knew he wasn’t the original.
However, how could Zhou Zhou admit it? After all, Pei Yanlie had no proof.
He frowned, forcing himself to calm down, a wry smile tugging at the corners of his mouth as he hoarsely said, “I don’t know where Senior Pei got this ridiculous conclusion. Why do you suspect I’m not Zhou Zhou?”
Pei Yanlie didn’t point out the issue of the leak from his thoughts, saying blandly, “You have a strong presence of evil around you, causing a serious impact on others. I have reason to suspect you’re using dark magic.”
Zhou Zhou let go of his smile, his expression almost mocking as he said, “Senior Pei has watched too many novels and TV dramas, hasn’t he?”
He narrowed his eyes slightly, raising his chin, his gaze fixed on Pei Yanlie’s face as he sternly questioned, “Tell me, what impact have I had on you?”
Pei Yanlie’s eyelids flickered slightly, his heart pounding uncontrollably. His breath hitched, and he suppressed the strange emotions surging in his heart, remaining silent for a long time.
【Hmph, you won’t say even when I ask. And that look of suppressing your anger, what do you want? Want to fight?】
His Adam’s apple bobbed, the sound of him swallowing saliva was distinct in the silent car.
Zhou Zhou tugged at the corner of his mouth, chuckling coldly before turning his head back, ignoring him.
Pei Yanlie naturally couldn’t voice those twisted desires.
As the sole heir of the Pei family, he had a proud sense of self-esteem and would never allow an irrelevant boy to disrupt his mind.
He secretly set a one-month deadline for Zhou Zhou.
If, after a month, the other party still had such a significant impact on him, then he would throw him into the laboratory and forcibly separate the evil spirit from that body.
Both harbored their own thoughts, remaining silent.
It wasn’t until they arrived at Beicheng University that Zhou Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
【Finally, I’m getting away from him. So comfortable.】
【This oppressive, suffocating aura really makes me feel unwell all over. It seems I still need to speed up the process and get the female lead to bring him back on the right track as soon as possible, lest the male lead becomes more and more twisted.】
Pei Yanlie turned his head, his gaze fixed on his figure with profound depth, his voice cold, “For the next month, don’t think about playing hide-and-seek. You can’t escape.”
Zhou Zhou opened the door and got out of the car. He turned back, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips, “Senior Pei’s family is rich and powerful. How can I, a mere young master of the Zhou family, compete with you, right?”
With that, he scoffed, slamming the car door shut and walking into the school gates without looking back.
It wasn’t until that tall figure disappeared into the darkness that Pei Yanlie retracted his gaze. He lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the black Hummer gradually left Beicheng University, driving into the bustling streets.
It was already 9:30 PM, and there were still small groups of students wandering back and forth on the school paths.
The lights of the dormitory buildings illuminated the surrounding environment. Zhou Zhou stopped, raising his head to gaze at the lights that resembled luminous pearls under the night sky, a hint of sadness surfacing in his eyes.
He wondered how his parents were doing in the distant Starry Sky era, whether they were still grieving over his departure.
He wondered if the original owner’s soul was attached to him. He pursed his lips, sighing, “It’s best if he’s reborn in his own body. That’s better than kicking the bucket.”
Thinking that the original owner was homosexual, he couldn’t help but shudder.
His parents were open-minded people; they should understand and accept it.
He shook his head, banishing these conjectures from his mind, and continued to walk towards the dormitory building.
“Zhou Zhou!” A familiar, sweet female voice rang out from behind him.
Zhou Zhou paused. Just as he was about to turn around, his back collided with a soft body, and his slender waist was entwined by two thin arms.
His entire body tensed. He reached out to grab the other’s slender fingers, prying them open slightly before turning around, lowering his head to examine Mu Xinyao, who was pressed tightly against his chest.
She was wearing a camisole top, her bare, fragrant shoulders smooth and lustrous, radiating a youthful and sweet aura.
“It’s so late. Aren’t you back in the dormitory yet?” He raised an eyebrow, asking with a smile, his hand naturally wrapping around her slender waist, leading her forward.
Mu Xinyao blinked her large eyes, raising the corners of her mouth, saying with a shy expression, “I missed you after not seeing you for two days, so I hid at the school gate waiting for you to come.”
With that, she took out her phone, opened her address book, and looked at Zhou Zhou with moist eyes, softly asking, “What’s your phone number? After so many days of observation, I’ve decided to let you be my boyfriend.”
Zhou Zhou gave her a meaningful look, hooking the corners of his mouth and directly asking, “The irresponsible kind?”
Mu Xinyao chuckled, standing on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek, nonchalantly saying, “Did you think I would cry and beg you to marry me?”
Zhou Zhou raised his hand to touch his cheek, the tips of his ears quietly turning red. He said with forced calmness, “I’ll give you a shot beforehand, don’t be like a piece of gum that can’t be shaken off by then.”
“Zhou Zhou, let’s just date for now. As for things in the future, we’ll talk about them later.” Mu Xinyao curved her eyes, smiling very cutely, her whole face flushed.
Zhou Zhou raised an eyebrow, a wave of turmoil rolling in his heart.
There was no reason to refuse when a beauty offered herself at his door, especially a beautiful female supporting character from a novel.
The two snuggled together, not noticing a person following not far behind them.
Pei Yanlie had just returned home when his assistant sent several photos.
His face was covered with gloom, his eyes surging with terrifying anger.
In the photos, Zhou Zhou and the Mu family’s precious daughter were hugging and embracing, with a close-up shot of that kiss on the cheek.
The phone screen shattered with a “crack,” directly crushed by that slender hand.
