TLCBITAR Chapter 35
by VolareAs night deepened, the stars dotted the night sky, shining brightly.
Zhou Zhou and his new girlfriend had been flirting on the playground for thirty minutes before slowly returning to the dormitory.
As soon as he stepped into the dormitory, the pungent smell of snail noodles hit him. He took a deep breath, his gaze falling on Qu Minghui, who was engrossed in eating.
“Tsk tsk, weren’t you saying you were on a diet? Still eating late at night.”
He pulled out a chair and sat down, crossed his legs, and looked at Qu Minghui with a teasing smile.
“Uh—”, Qu Minghui looked up, burped with difficulty, then turned his head to look at Zhou Zhou, a knowing smile on his face. “I went out to get takeout just now and saw you and a girl hiding in the dark playground, hugging and kissing. Did you get her so quickly?”
“Does your Brother Zhou even need to deceive? As long as I beckon, plenty of beauties will rush to snuggle in my arms.” He shook his flip-flops, propped his chin up, and said lazily.
Lin Sheng poked his head out from the upper bunk, raised his thick eyebrows, and asked with a grin, “A change of hairstyle really makes a difference. Did you and Winter Mushroom Head go to get it cut together?”
Zhou Zhou casually ruffled the bangs on his forehead and said casually, “Yeah, it’s alright, I guess.”
It’s just too gentle, lacking momentum, a bit unsatisfactory.
“By the way, the class monitor brought over a sports meet registration form just now. Fill it out.” Chen Qihang passed down a piece of paper from the upper bunk, which Zhou Zhou took.
He only glanced at it and threw it aside. Someone who doesn’t even want to walk up the stairs, how could he sign up for the sports meet?
Chen Qihang didn’t forget to remind him, “The class monitor said that everyone has to participate unless it’s absolutely necessary. This is the requirement of the grade director.”
Zhou Zhou scoffed and asked in a low voice, “What’s considered absolutely necessary?”
Qu Minghui interjected, “Broken legs and disabilities, duh.”
Chen Qihang retorted, “Total paralysis, otherwise it doesn’t count.”
“It’s not that harsh, is it? What are you going to compete in with a broken leg, crawling?” Lin Sheng complained.
Qu Minghui stood up, walked to Zhou Zhou’s side, patted him on the shoulder, and joked, “At least you’ll crawl faster than a tortoise, what are you afraid of! My Brother Zhou is strong and sturdy, he’ll definitely win first place!”
Zhou Zhou scratched his ear. The flattery pleased him, and he chuckled, asking, “What did you sign up for?”
“Four hundred meter relay, shot put, tug-of-war…” Qu Minghui said, counting his fingers, and finally looked up, saying excitedly, “I signed up for six events, trying to get in the top three to leave a good impression on my goddess!”
Lin Sheng laughed and collapsed on the bed, “Haha, with your tortoise speed, you’ll be in the bottom three!”
Qu Minghui was displeased and walked to Lin Sheng’s bed, pretending to climb the ladder, “Humph, don’t speak too soon, I’ll crush the first place in minutes and win the school championship!”
Lin Sheng immediately blocked his face with a pillow, preventing him from climbing up, and continued to tease, “Get a good night’s sleep tonight and try to fulfill your wish in your dreams.”
“Two idiots.” Zhou Zhou leaned weakly on his desk, amusedly complaining.
He took out his phone, wanting to send a goodnight message to his girlfriend, when a text message came from an unknown number.
Without looking, he knew it was Pei Yanlie!
His fingertip lightly touched the message, and a long paragraph came into view.
“On the dangers of early love…”
“Prohibition of campus romance…”
“What is ungentlemanly behavior…”
It was at least five hundred words, mostly copied from the internet.
Is Pei Yanlie going crazy?
Zhou Zhou was speechless, rolled his eyes, and quickly tapped the screen with his thumb.
Pei Yanlie was currently wearing a white bathrobe, his exposed chest muscles firm and full, with smooth lines.
He leaned against the railing of the terrace, two fingers holding a cigarette, the tip of the cigarette glowing red, not taking a puff for a long time.
He didn’t like smoking, and the restless emotions had been building up in his chest, making him feel uncomfortable all over. He could only take a puff or two to relieve the boredom.
The phone vibrated, and he casually clicked on the screen, lowering his eyes to take a look.
[Zhou Zhou: Is Senior Pei’s home by the sea?]
Pei Yanlie frowned, his eyes darkening, and quickly replied with a few words.
[Pei Yanlie: During sutra chanting, one needs to be pure and abstinent.]
Zhou Zhou saw the message, speechless and choked, feeling that the male lead was really too deeply poisoned.
[Zhou Zhou: Senior Pei, have you never been to college?]
[Pei Yanlie: What do you mean?]
[Zhou Zhou: Is dating in college considered early love? Is it explicitly prohibited? Also, how am I not acting like a gentleman?]
[Pei Yanlie: Forbid any intimate contact with girls within this month.]
[Zhou Zhou: You’re going too far! Is there no human rights left! Don’t think I’m afraid to beat you just because you’re Pei Yanlie!]
[Pei Yanlie: Your mouth does need to be tied up.]
[Zhou Zhou: You’re the one who needs to be tied up, don’t harass me!]
[Pei Yanlie: Offending me will not benefit you or the Zhou family in any way.]
[Zhou Zhou: Heh, a threat? Intimidation?]
[Pei Yanlie: Yes.]
Zhou Zhou angrily slammed the table, scaring Qu Minghui, who almost fell off the ladder.
He patted his chest, glared at Lin Sheng, and then jumped down from the middle of the ladder. The loud “thump” startled the boys downstairs, who cursed loudly.
He returned to his bed and asked with a grin, “Who offended my Brother Zhou?”
Zhou Zhou gritted his teeth and scolded, “Damn it, this melodramatic male lead is really too punchable!”
Qu Minghui was filled with righteous indignation and said fiercely, “Still watching that drama? I knew that scumbag was really punchable, abandoning his wife and engaging in debauchery with mistresses in front of her!”
Zhou Zhou tilted his head, narrowed his eyes, and said quietly, “I’m talking about another one.”
He was puzzled and asked curiously, “Ah? Which one?”
Zhou Zhou cleared his throat and explained slowly, “The female lead almost fell to her death, and he didn’t care, didn’t even look! The female lead fell off the stage in public, and he didn’t care at all! The female lead was blocked in the changing room by a fat pig, but he was having a video chat with a man while being naked!”
Qu Minghui clenched his fist and waved it in the air, commenting, “So hateful, so perverted?! No need to guess, he’ll definitely be chasing his wife in the crematorium later!”
Zhou Zhou sighed and asked weakly, “Do you think this kind of male lead can be saved?”
Chen Qihang rarely interjected, “Can’t be saved, bury him.”
Zhou Zhou shook his head, complaining, “The male lead has a hard life, he can’t die!”
Lin Sheng said slowly, “There’s no way, let the female lead replace him!”
Zhou Zhou pouted, looking listless, “Can’t be replaced, they’re a destined couple.”
Qu Minghui complained, “The female lead must be suffocating!”
Zhou Zhou raised his hand and rubbed his brow, his tone tinged with worry, “It’s too difficult, is there any way to get them together quickly?”
Qu Minghui suggested lewdly, “The most direct way is to give him an aphrodisiac~”
Zhou Zhou immediately sat up straight, a burst of light erupting in his slightly raised phoenix eyes, feeling that this method seemed feasible.
Next, he’d see how the male and female leads progressed during the sports meet. If things went smoothly, there would naturally be no need for such drastic measures.
But what if it still failed?
Zhou Zhou smirked sinisterly, thinking that he couldn’t be blamed for resorting to dirty tricks then.
He raised his hand, his gaze falling on the string of Five Emperors Coin Bracelet, and muttered softly, “Not chasing after a good wife, messing around with these mysterious things, I really can’t understand Pei Yanlie’s brain circuitry.”
