TLCBITAR Chapter 68

Chapter 68: The Male Lead Has Something Fishy Going On

The next morning, a soft moan echoed from the dimly lit room.

Zhou Zhou slowly opened his eyes, and seeing the dim light, he assumed it wasn’t dawn yet and closed them again.

His face was pressed against the pillow, and he slightly twitched his nose. A faint, cool scent of pine wafted into his nostrils, a familiar yet strange aroma.

He’d drunk until he blacked out last night, probably brought back to the dorm by Qu Minghui and the others.

However, he remembered that his own pillow didn’t have this faint fragrance.

Thoughts raced through his mind. Suddenly, he recalled last night’s dream, and he sat up abruptly, agitated. He scanned his surroundings, only to realize he wasn’t in the dorm at all.

He frowned, got out of bed with a puzzled look, and muttered to himself, “Where is this?”

The heavy curtains blocked out the light, no wonder the room was so dark.

But, this room was too big!

Just the bed alone was at least three meters wide.

He walked more than ten steps to the French windows and pulled back the curtains, and blinding sunlight instantly poured in.

The huge swimming pool outside on the terrace came into view, familiarly.

He widened his eyes and said in shock, “Isn’t this Pei Yanlie’s room!”

A gust of wind with a chill struck his body, and he suddenly sneezed, his nose feeling faintly wet.

He looked down at himself, his upper body bare, and wearing only boxer briefs on his lower half.

“Why am I in Pei Yanlie’s house?”

Uncontrollably, he recalled last night’s dream again, where he was pinned down in the carriage by Pei Yanlie and kissed.

Instantly, goosebumps erupted all over his arms. He shook his head, his heart churning with waves of unease.

It was a dream, it must be a dream!

“But, why did I appear here, ah ah ah!”

He couldn’t figure it out, and with a listless expression, he turned back around. Just as he was about to look for his clothes, the door opened.

Pei Yanlie saw Zhou Zhou standing in front of the terrace half-naked, letting the wind blow on him. He glanced at him disapprovingly, quickly walked to the bed, picked up a small blanket, and strode over to him, placing the blanket over him.

Zhou Zhou was already stunned in place, his mind in chaos, unable to think at all.

Pei Yanlie looked down at him, explaining in a low voice, “You were drunk last night. I happened to be passing by the school, so I brought you back.”

Zhou Zhou unconsciously reached out and clutched the small blanket tightly, covering all the skin on his chest.

[It’s over, it’s over, what’s going on?]

[Why is there such a gay scene?]

Zhou Zhou stared with his phoenix eyes until the corners of his eyes were sore and red before blinking, his voice with a hint of hoarseness, “You… I, did I sleep in the same bed with you last night?”

Pei Yanlie gazed deeply at him, his eyes surging with unknown emotions, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he said in a low voice, “You were originally sleeping in the guest room, but then you threw up, so I had to bring you to my room.”

Zhou Zhou’s heart tightened, and a trace of vigilance rose in his eyes, “Doesn’t Senior Pei have many guest rooms in his house?”

“The other guest rooms haven’t been cleaned and are dusty.” Pei Yanlie lied without changing his expression, then changed the subject, “Go to the cloakroom to change clothes first, don’t catch a cold.”

Zhou Zhou pursed his lips, nodded, and walked out of the room, turning into the cloakroom.

Seeing that Pei Yanlie didn’t follow, he breathed a sigh of relief, his legs feeling weak.

Something’s not right, really not right!

He walked to the full-length mirror and sized himself up, his hair disheveled like a bird’s nest, his face with a hint of tiredness after a hangover.

Looking down, the skin on the right side of his neck was a little red, as if it had been bitten by mosquitoes.

His fingertip touched it lightly, and it was flat, without any swelling.

He said in disbelief, “This wouldn’t be a hickey, would it?”

Thinking of the dream where Pei Yanlie nuzzled at his neck and kissed him for a long time, he couldn’t help but tremble all over.

“No way, no way, don’t overthink it!”

“But, his behavior really makes it hard not to be suspicious! Why did he bring me home?” Zhou Zhou scratched his head irritably, his eyes wide.

This kind of uncertainty made him feel a strong sense of unease. No, he had to go home immediately.

He quickly pulled open the closet. Inside hung a whole row of clothes, the style obviously not Pei Yanlie’s.

All kinds of shirts and t-shirts were in styles that Zhou Zhou liked. He picked up a t-shirt and measured it against himself, the size was just right.

Opening the tag and looking at it, the price was six figures.

He frowned and searched again, discovering that the lowest price was actually the first piece of clothing he’d picked up. He sighed in frustration.

Pei Yanlie definitely had something fishy going on, actually buying a bunch of clothes that young boys would wear and putting them here.

He quickly put on the t-shirt, put on casual trousers, and walked out of the cloakroom wearing house slippers.

Pei Yanlie was sitting on the sofa outside the cloakroom, his legs crossed, looking straight at him, his expression dark and unclear.

[Big brother, don’t look at me like that!]

[Ah ah ah ah! Help, it’s really gay!!]

[No, no, I have to go home quickly!]

Zhou Zhou only felt his heart beat wildly. He was purely scared. As a straight man, he really didn’t know what to do in the face of a potentially bisexual male lead!

He quietly swallowed, where was his usual composure, “Senior Pei, thank you for last night, I’ll go back now.”

Pei Yanlie stood up and gradually walked in front of Zhou Zhou, not allowing any refusal, “Go wash up first, eat breakfast, and then I’ll take you back.”

[No need, really no need!]

[Don’t get so close to me, it’s scary!]

Zhou Zhou retreated a step, the wariness in his eyes very obvious, “I didn’t go home last night, my brother is very worried about me, so…”

“I’ve already told him, it’s fine.” Pei Yanlie directly interrupted him, then said, “Go wash up, I’ll wait for you in the dining room.”

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Zhou with a meaningful glance, then turned and walked out of the room, leaving Zhou Zhou with a tall and straight back.

Zhou Zhou wanted to cry but had no tears. He quickly ran back into the room, took the phone from the bedside table, and sent several messages in the 606 handsome men group.

[Zhou Xiaozhou: What happened last night? @everyone]

[Zhou Xiaozhou: How did I end up at President Pei’s house?!]

[Zhou Xiaozhou: I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m going to die!!]

[Chen Qihang: Sober now? Last night, President Pei came on strong and abducted you into his car with a princess carry.]

[Chen Qihang: By the way, when did you and President Pei become so familiar?]

[Huihui: How do you feel? Is your body sore? @Zhou Xiaozhou]

[Zhou Xiaozhou: What are you talking about?!]

[Lin Sheng: He’s asking if you lost something.]

[Zhou Xiaozhou: I swear, speak human language, why are you talking in riddles?]

[Huihui: Ah haha, it’s nothing, just kidding, don’t be nervous.]

Zhou Zhou’s face darkened. These two’s attitudes were very suspicious, as if they knew some unspeakable truth.

Thinking of last night’s nightmare, he instantly blushed and wished he could smash his head against the wall.

He began to overthink, the more he thought, the more alarmed he became, and he dared not imagine it any further.

Straight man Zhou Zhou couldn’t accept this guess. He put on his shoes and immediately darted out of the room, planning to sneak out.

He remembered that the villa had a back door, so he wouldn’t have to go through the living room and wouldn’t be discovered by Pei Yanlie.
