TLCBITAR Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Pei Yanlie Has Telepathy

“Boom!” A loud noise echoed, and lightning flashed.

The car was halfway up the mountain when a sudden downpour began. Zhou Zhou looked at the blurry rain outside the window and said dejectedly, “This rain just started out of nowhere. We won’t encounter a landslide, will we?”

Pei Yanlie encircled him in his arms, pressing a finger against his lips, “Don’t overthink it. We won’t.”

[But I’ve been really unlucky lately.]

Zhou Zhou retorted in his mind. He peered out the window, trying to get a clearer view of the outside.

Pei Yanlie grasped his wrist, lowering his eyes to look at the Five Emperors Coin Bracelet on his hand, his gaze dark, “It can protect you from harm.”

Zhou Zhou had almost forgotten he was wearing this thing. He asked curiously, “Did your mom get this bracelet for you?”

Pei Yanlie explained in a low voice, “Yes, she prayed for it for a year at Master Mingjing’s temple.”

After speaking, he was silent for a moment. An impulse surged within him. He gazed deeply into Zhou Zhou’s clear phoenix eyes and said hoarsely, “I know where you come from.”

Zhou Zhou: …

[Where I come from? Tell me, if you guess right, I, Zhou Zhou, will take your surname!]

Pei Yanlie chuckled ambiguously, whispering close to his ear, “The future Starry Sky era.”

Zhou Zhou’s body stiffened, and he remained silent.

[He’s guessing! He must be guessing! I haven’t said anything about it. Wait, could I have said it in my sleep?]

The more Zhou Zhou thought about it, the more possible it seemed. His brows furrowed tightly. He opened his eyes and lied, “I dreamed I was a person from the future. You actually believe that?”

Pei Yanlie’s voice grew even deeper, “Zhou Zhou, you know very well.”

Zhou Zhou glanced at the driver, seeing that he was wearing headphones, and with the sound of the rain being so loud outside, it was impossible for him to hear their conversation.

“Are you trying to set a trap for me? Say whatever you know. Am I afraid of you?” Zhou Zhou got out of his arms, scooted over to the side, and put on a calm expression.

[Pei Yanlie is very cunning, I absolutely cannot reveal anything.]

Pei Yanlie said something shocking with a straight face, “Yearning in the Sea of Desire: My Delicate, Sweet… cough, cough…”

He coughed twice halfway through his sentence and stopped talking.

Zhou Zhou: …

Although Pei Yanlie only said the beginning, Zhou Zhou had already automatically completed the second half of the sentence for him.

His eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, “Where did you hear that?”

[Damn it! This is crazy, did I say that in my sleep?]

Pei Yanlie curved his lips, tempting him, “Want to hear the rest?”

“What can that sentence represent? Does it represent that I come from the future Starry Sky era?” Zhou Zhou regained his composure.

“This is a novel, and you are a transmigrator.” Pei Yanlie looked at Zhou Zhou’s ever-changing face with interest.

After Zhou Zhou finished changing his expression, he burst out laughing, “Pei Yanlie, are you telling a joke?”

[Crap, why do I have the feeling that I’ve already been exposed!]

Pei Yanlie nodded, raised his hand to press on his head, and rubbed it, “You’ve already been exposed.”

Zhou Zhou looked horrified and voiced his guess, “No, don’t tell me you have telepathy?”

[How is that possible? The author didn’t give the male lead this ability!]

Pei Yanlie only smiled and said nothing, his deep eyes showing a light that saw through everything.

[Don’t just laugh, you bastard, do you really have telepathy?]

Seeing that he was still silent, Zhou Zhou boldly let his thoughts run wild.

[Pei Yanlie, can you hear me?]

“Yes,” Pei Yanlie nodded slightly.

[You are really…]

Pei Yanlie pursed his lips tightly, bit his ear as a punishment, and said hoarsely, “Think, keep thinking, don’t stop.”

[Big]

“Don’t you like it?” Pei Yanlie asked him directly.

[What’s the use of being big?]

Pei Yanlie smiled, “Many uses.”

[Get the pot ready, frying, deep-frying, stir-frying, steaming, boiling, braising, salt-baking, a one-stop service!]

“You want to eat it?”

Zhou Zhou shuddered and shook his head repeatedly.

[Holy shit! Pei Yanlie really has telepathy!]

Zhou Zhou was mortified, instantly blanking his mind, and stammering, “I didn’t expect your mutation to be so severe that you could even develop this kind of special ability!”

Pei Yanlie raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, his expression very annoying.

“Hiding so deeply, you’ve been enduring it for so long!”

The more Zhou Zhou thought about it, the more horrified he became, and the more ashamed and indignant he felt that all his actions were known to Pei Yanlie.

A storm of thoughts swept through his mind. He fell silent in the outburst, staring gloomily at Pei, who looked like he had everything under control.

Okay, very good, you win. I lost miserably. No wonder my plans were ruined by you again and again. So you had special abilities, you bastard!

I can’t beat you. I admit defeat, ha.

Unconsciously, the car arrived at the top of the mountain.

At this time, the heavy rain had stopped, and the sky had darkened. A group of young and beautiful men and women were gathered at the entrance of the hot spring resort.

“What’s going on! I came all the way here, and you’re telling me it’s been reserved?”

“Which idiot reserved the whole place, tell me!” Someone said, pulling up nonexistent sleeves as if to fight.

The security guard blocking the entrance said awkwardly, “This is Pei’s property, so naturally it was Mr. Pei who reserved it.”

“Even Pei’s can’t bully people like this! You’re open for business. You can’t just reserve the whole place whenever you want!”

The security guard continued, “The hot spring resort’s usual rules are to reserve rooms two hours in advance. We posted a full-room notice online at one o’clock this afternoon. You came here without even calling, and now you’re blaming us?”

“Zhou Nian, didn’t you say your brother is very familiar with Mr. Pei? Have him give us a call. We can’t have come for nothing!”

“That’s right, especially since you were the one who suggested having the gathering here.”

In the center of the crowd, Zhou Nian, dressed in a pink and white dress, had a dark expression. She took out her phone to make a call, only to find that she didn’t even have Zhou Zhou’s number saved.

“Can’t you be more accommodating? There are only a dozen of us here. We won’t need that many rooms.” Zhou Nian clenched her phone tightly, glared at the security guard, and her tone was very arrogant, without a trace of the attitude one should have when asking for a favor.

“Miss, we’re just employees. We can’t make the decision.” The security guard refused without hesitation. He caught sight of Pei Yanlie walking towards them with a boy, followed by four bodyguards. His eyes lit up, “Mr. Pei is here. You should go back. Don’t cause trouble here.”

Zhou Nian turned her head to look at Zhou Zhou and Mr. Pei walking towards her, her eyes widening instantly. Her gaze shifted downwards, landing on their tightly clasped hands, and her heart was shaken.

What’s going on? Mr. Pei and Zhou Zhou are having an affair?!

“Zhou Nian, isn’t that your brother? Is he Mr. Pei’s lover?”

Someone shamelessly said, “Since he’s a lover, that’s easy to handle. Have him free up a few rooms for us.”

“Amazing, you actually managed to hook up with Mr. Pei. Your Zhou family is going to prosper!”

Zhou Nian clenched her fist tightly, her nails digging deep into her palm. She took a deep breath, walked over in her high heels, suppressed her jealousy, and smiled very insincerely, “Brother, what a coincidence. Are you here to soak in the hot springs too?”

Zhou Zhou stopped walking, shook Pei Yanlie’s hand, but couldn’t shake it off, and said unhappily, “My hands are sweaty. Let go.”

Zhou Nian: …

Everyone: …

What a bold lover, actually embarrassing Mr. Pei in public.

Pei Yanlie released his hand, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and carefully wiped his hands, coaxing softly, “Are you still angry?”

Zhou Zhou ignored him, his whole body surrounded by a sense of grievance. He looked down at Zhou Nian and said without any politeness, “Your style is more exaggerated than non-mainstream. Are you trying to look like a ‘mat salo’?” (A derogatory term for people with outlandish style)

Zhou Nian almost spat out blood in anger. Her outfit was specially designed by a high-end stylist. Although the color of her hair was like a rainbow, it could attract the attention of all the men in the room in a second.

Especially the dress, which was the most eye-catching dress at this year’s fashion show – the Laser Girl.

As the name suggests, the clothes were hung with layers of sequins, which could become the brightest girl in the crowd even at night.

Look, even Mr. Pei can’t help but look at me.

She proudly raised her chin, her eyes meeting Pei Yanlie’s deep eyes.

Zhou Nian: …

What does that mean? That disgusted look, am I dog shit?
