TLCBITAR Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Has My Brother Fallen For Someone Else?

The dinner party ended, and a silver-gray minivan drove out of the restaurant parking lot, weaving through the bustling streets.

Zhou Zhou leaned back in the car seat with his eyes slightly closed, his entire face flushed like a shrimp, heavily intoxicated.

Zhou Jin sat next to him, his brows furrowed ever since they got in the car, never relaxing.

He opened and closed his mouth several times, finally seeming unable to hold back, hesitantly asking, “Zhou Xiaozhou, tell your brother the truth, have you fallen for someone else?”

“Huh?” Hearing the question, Zhou Zhou opened a slit of his eyes, his eyeballs rolling, his blurry vision landing on the person beside him.

Zhou Jin pursed his lips, remaining silent for a moment before opening his mouth, his voice a little louder, “When did you get so close to Pei Yanlie?”

“Oh, Pei Yanlie, he’s my goddess’s husband, so of course I’m familiar with him.” Zhou Zhou tugged at the corner of his mouth, saying lazily.

At this moment, huge waves were churning in his mind, and he felt as if he were on a small boat, swaying back and forth, feeling very dizzy.

Zhou Jin sighed and said helplessly, “What I mean is, do you like him?”

Zhou Zhou felt as if the small boat under his feet had been overturned by a huge wave, and he suddenly plunged into the sea, choking him into a violent cough.

“You’re so old, and you still choke on your saliva.”

Zhou Jin frowned, patting Zhou Zhou’s back until he recovered before stopping.

Zhou Zhou glared, his half-ponytail almost exploding, gnashing his teeth and saying, “Big brother, don’t say such terrifying things!”

How could he, a straight man straighter than a telephone pole, possibly like a man, especially when that man was the male lead exuding an aura of dominance!

How could the rock-hard male lead compare to soft and fragrant girls?

Seeing his terrified expression, which didn’t seem fake, Zhou Jin asked suspiciously, “If you don’t like him, why were you so close? If I hadn’t shown up in time, you would have kissed.”

“Big brother! I think you’re the one who’s drunk! I wouldn’t even kiss a dog, let alone him… him…” Zhou Zhou was so angry that his face changed, his cheeks almost exploding with redness.

“Alright, I believe you.”

His brother had said this much, so there was no point in him continuing to press, and the two of them had only recently eased their relationship, so he couldn’t let them quarrel again and ruin it.

Has Pei Yanlie gone crazy and become a pervert?!

Why is he suddenly acting up and sticking a talisman on me? Does he think I’m a ghost?!

Zhou Zhou leaned back into the corner between the back seat and the door, crossing his long legs, shaking them occasionally.

In less than two minutes, he suddenly sat up straight, no longer crossing his legs, frowning tightly and muttering in a low voice, “Could it be that he’s discovered something?”

Has he discovered that I’m not the original Zhou Zhou?

Once this idea arose, it spread uncontrollably, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

As expected of the male lead, he actually discovered that he was fishy!

It seemed that he had misunderstood him before, how could the male lead possibly be gay! He remembered that in the novel’s plot, from the domineering male lead to the cannon fodder in the remote corners, there were no signs of anyone being gay.

Of course, the original Zhou Zhou didn’t count, he died at the very beginning, and apart from the name “Zhou Zhou” appearing in the novel, there were no other descriptions.

Since Pei Yanlie was suspicious of him, he had to be more careful in the future, he didn’t want to be kidnapped by the male lead to the laboratory and dissected.

Alas, it seemed that the mission was difficult, couldn’t the male lead just focus on having a good relationship? Why is he doing exorcisms!

Zhou Jin crossed his arms, his gaze occasionally falling on Zhou Zhou’s face, seeing him sometimes terrified, sometimes scared, sometimes angry, a sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.

He never thought that his brother would become like this for a man, why couldn’t he like someone else? Why did he have to like Pei Yanlie, that unfeeling and detached man.

So eager to seek suffering, Zhou Jin sighed, deciding not to stop him.

His brother was stubborn, unwilling to turn back until he hit a wall, unwilling to shed tears until he saw the coffin, only after hitting a wall and suffering would he know how difficult this path was.

He took off his glasses, his slightly raised phoenix eyes, which were originally full of wisdom and sharpness, were now overflowing with helplessness.

The minivan drove out of the bustling streets and arrived at a quiet villa.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Zhou Zhou couldn’t wait to open the door and get out, darting to the trash can not far away and vomiting a mouthful of sour water.

“I used to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!”

“Blech”

“Did you have to torture me like this…”

“Blech”

“Wuwu…”

Zhou Jin walked to his side, his voice much gentler, “I told you not to drink so much, now you know how uncomfortable it is, right?”

Zhou Zhou hung his head and didn’t say a word, his mind sometimes clear and sometimes muddled, a stuffy feeling blocking his chest, making him restless and irritable.

What to do, I want to beat someone up!

Zhou Jin shook his head helplessly, pulling his arm and leading him towards the villa, “Let’s go, go back and get some sleep and you’ll be fine.”

Zhou Zhou didn’t resist, letting him pull him, his eyelids drooping the whole time, looking half-asleep.

It wasn’t until his back landed on the soft bed that he opened his eyelids, staring blankly at the dim ceiling, muttering, “Can I really not go back?”

Thinking of his family in the Starry Sky era of the future, he felt grief rising from his heart.

As the only son in the family, Zhou Zhou was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, enjoying the love of his family, and his personality was relatively uninhibited.

When he was lazy, he could stay at home for a month without going anywhere, and when he went crazy, he would indulge in eating, drinking, and having fun with his friends every day, unable to extricate himself.

Now, to die suddenly like this, how he hated it!

Having been here for only a week, his longing for his family became stronger and stronger, and the thought of going back gradually swelled under the paralysis of alcohol.

Zhou Jin opened the door, and just as he walked to the bedside, he saw his brother crying silently with a pout, tears streaming down his face.

His heart ached instantly.

Ever since his mother left, his relationship with his brother had gradually drifted apart.

After leaving the Zhou family, he was busy with work all day and rarely cared about this maverick and stubborn brother.

Now seeing his brother crying like this, he regretted it, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed with a knife, extremely uncomfortable.

Zhou Jin sat on the bedside, his expression as gentle as could be, softly comforting, “Don’t cry, I’ll have your back from now on, like whoever you want and go after them, I support you.”

Pei Yanlie was at least his junior high school classmate, he wouldn’t bully his brother too badly, right?

His gaze sharpened, his face tense, his expression dark and unpredictable, “Xiaozhou, I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

Zhou Zhou had no idea what Zhou Jin was thinking, he cried himself to sleep.

In his dream, Su Wanxing was wearing a sexy bikini and lying on the beach, smiling back at him.

Zhou Zhou covered his wildly beating heart, constantly chanting in his mouth: No, no, this is the female lead! This is my daughter!

He swallowed his saliva, standing rooted to the spot and enduring for a long time, finally unable to resist, gradually approaching her.

Suddenly, the male lead, Pei Yanlie, appeared next to the female lead wearing black bullet underwear, glancing at him with a cold expression.

Zhou Zhou stopped abruptly, his body as if it had been cursed, unable to move at all, he struggled desperately to move, opened his mouth to shout, but couldn’t make a sound.

Seeing the male lead with eight-pack abs clenching his fists and walking towards him with a murderous look, Zhou Zhou wanted to run, but his feet seemed to have taken root.

“Don’t, don’t come over!!”

He suddenly sat up, his chest heaving violently, his face pale.

“Damn it! He won’t even let me off in my dreams!”
