TLCBITAR Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Never Said I Had to Marry Him

On the rooftop, Pei Yanlie and Yuan Heng parted on bad terms. Yuan Heng watched Pei’s CEO stride away, on the verge of tears.

Unfortunately, he had been fired by Pei’s CEO.

After being his secretary for several years, he was dismissed just like that.

Not even a shred of sentimentality.

He opened his optical brain and transmitted the latest news to the Alliance Clubhouse. Soon, he received a reply.

“Tsk, what kind of bullsh*t advice is that? If I actually did that, would I even be able to go back alive?!”

Yuan Heng was so angry his face turned green. He felt an urge to rip off the bracelet on his wrist and smash it on the ground.

Zhou Zhou was now Pei’s CEO’s precious treasure; even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to touch him.

He scratched his head in frustration. They could have waited for a unified recall, so why did they have to recall Zhou Zhou ahead of schedule?

Zhou Zhou was a special case among all the trapped people. He suspected that he had been targeted by those old fogeys at the research institute.

“Asking me to kill someone is out of the question. I’m a proper soldier, at least. Besides, with Pei’s CEO protecting him, who has the ability to touch him?” Yuan Heng sighed and slowly left the rooftop.

Inside the hospital room, Zhou Jin and Gu Yuanci sat side-by-side, following the doctor’s advice to say stimulating things.

Looking at his younger brother lying on the bed with his eyes closed and a pale face, Zhou Jin’s heart felt blocked, and he said in a hoarse voice, “Xiao Zhou, if you don’t wake up soon, Pei’s CEO might fall in love with someone else.”

Zhou Zhou was conscious. Hearing what he said, he thought: Don’t stimulate me like that. Pei’s CEO has been by my side for twenty days straight. Where would he find the time to fall in love with someone else?

Gu Yuanci echoed, “You haven’t known Pei’s CEO for very long, and your relationship isn’t that deep. If you stay unconscious, he might run away.”

Zhou Zhou didn’t take it seriously, listening silently as they acted.

Zhou Jin grabbed his hand and patted it. “Don’t you love Pei’s CEO the most? You even said you had to marry him.”

Pei Yanlie had just entered the ward when he heard Zhou Zhou’s complaint.

[Big brother, I never said I had to marry him. Don’t slander me.]

Pei Yanlie’s face darkened, and he walked over with heavy steps.

[Just from the sound of those footsteps, I know it’s Pei’s CEO. Stomping so loudly, is he angry?]

Pei Yanlie grunted softly.

[To be honest, I never said that.]

Pei Yanlie pursed his lips, wanting to shut this person’s mouth.

“Pei’s CEO, has Xiao Zhou shown any signs of waking up these past few days?” Hearing the sound behind him, Zhou Jin turned to look at the stern-faced man.

Pei Yanlie said in a deep voice, “He should wake up in the next few days.”

[So sure?] Zhou Zhou was skeptical.

It seemed that the previous stimulation wasn’t enough. Pei Yanlie decided to give him a good stimulation tonight.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, Zhou Jin and Gu Yuanci left.

Pei Yanlie walked to the door, locked it, and then drew the curtains, instantly darkening the ward.

He took off his shoes, lay down next to Zhou Zhou, pulled him into his arms, and asked in a low voice, “Are you asleep?”

Zhou Zhou knew what this person wanted to do next when he heard the door lock, so he simply cleared his mind and thought of nothing, letting Pei Yanlie mistakenly think that he was already asleep.

“Really asleep?” Pei Yanlie chuckled softly.

A slender hand slipped in from under Zhou Zhou’s shirt, moving upwards along his soft abdomen, finally stopping at his chest.

Pei Yanlie pressed close to his ear and asked in a hoarse voice, “Can you feel it?”

With his fingers gently applying pressure, Pei Yanlie carefully examined Zhou Zhou’s face in the dim light, trying to catch any reaction.

Zhou Zhou still showed no reaction, seeming to be really asleep.

However, he could feel it, and the feeling was very strong. He only felt that his mind was beingxūn – smoked by a heat.

Pei Yanlie unbuttoned the soft hospital gown, lowered his eyes to stare at his fair chest, and said slowly, “Zhou Xiao Zhou, I know you’re not asleep.”

He released his hand, lowered his head, and leaned in, saying in a suppressed voice, “Or do you prefer me to do this?”

Zhou Zhou couldn’t hold it in any longer, and his body suddenly twitched.

[Pei Yanlie, you must be part dog!]

[Stop biting, let go!]

“If you want me to let go, then wake up,” Pei Yanlie raised his head slightly, staring intently at his Adam’s apple.

[I want to wake up too. Why don’t you slap me?]

Pei Yanlie bit him as punishment.

[Don’t bite, it’s going to bleed.]

“Well, I’ll change the spot.” Pei Yanlie sat up, his Adam’s apple bobbing. “Zhou Xiao Zhou, I won’t be gentle.”

[Damn, what do you want to do?!]

[I’m unconscious, I won’t feel anything!]

However, after touching those soft, fiery lips, he was slapped in the face.

[My body betrayed me!]

Pei Yanlie narrowed his eyes slightly, always paying attention to Zhou Zhou’s changes.

Apart from the occasional trembling body, the twitching eyelids, and the chattering thoughts in his mind, Zhou Xiao Zhou still hadn’t woken up.

“Is the stimulation not enough?” Pei Yanlie murmured, his eyes filled with gloom, and a strong sense of unease arose in his heart.

[Pei Yanlie, it’s stimulating enough, don’t try anymore. Maybe I’ll wake up tomorrow.]

The stimulation experiment ended in failure. Pei Yanlie once again hated his helplessness.

He lay down and hugged the man tightly. “Baby, I look forward to you opening your eyes every day.”

Zhou Zhou only grunted.

He had a premonition that he might not really wake up. Almost as soon as he fell asleep, he dreamed of returning to the future Starry Sky era.

He didn’t dare to think too much, afraid of being discovered by Pei Yanlie.

If he really went back one day, this man would be very painful.

Although Pei Yanlie was very likely also from the future Starry Sky era, Zhou Zhou himself had no way to take him back with him.

At night, Pei Yanlie used warm water to wipe his body, not missing any part of him.

After being taken care of by him for twenty consecutive days, Zhou Zhou had gradually gotten used to it, losing the initial shame.

[Pei Yanlie, I want to eat barbecue.]

“Okay, I’ll go buy it when you wake up.” Pei Yanlie put on small shorts and a hospital gown for him, his movements becoming more and more skilled.

[What time is it? I’m a little sleepy.]

Pei Yanlie picked up his phone and glanced at it, replying in a low voice, “Nine o’clock sharp.”

[Is there any gossip in my roommates’ group chat?]

Zhou Zhou tried hard not to fall asleep, afraid that once he fell asleep, he would never be able to wake up here again.

Pei Yanlie picked up Zhou Zhou’s phone. “Let me see.”

“They said they’re coming to see you tomorrow.”

[They just came the day before yesterday and even bought a bunch of barbecue on purpose to stimulate me, making me drool.]

Pei Yanlie scrolled down the messages, his face gradually darkening.

[Qu Minghui: Why don’t we bring a cute girl over tomorrow to stimulate him?]

[Lin Sheng: You dare bring someone in front of Pei’s CEO?]

[Chen Qihang: Pei’s CEO will skin you alive.]

[Qu Minghui: The dormitory is empty, lonely, and cold without Zhou Ge.]

[Lin Sheng: Plus a bit itchy?]

[Chen Qihang: A hanger will cure the itch.]

[Qu Minghui: Seriously, let’s bring a girl over.]

[Chen Qihang: You bring her yourself, don’t drag me into it.]

[Keep reading, don’t stop.] Zhou Zhou urged.

Pei Yanlie turned off the phone. “It’s just some usual talk.”

[Are Chen Qihang and Qin Yang together?] Zhou Zhou asked.

“Looking at Qin Yang’s Moments, they’re probably together,” Pei Yanlie replied patiently.

[What about Lin Sheng and Qu Minghui? Any progress?]

Pei Yanlie’s eyes darkened. “Is your entire dormitory gay?”

[I’m not, I’m straight.]

Pei Yanlie didn’t comment, lowering his voice and asking, “Is Pei Shidi straighter?”

[Isn’t he bent?]

Pei Yanlie touched his head. “Do you like him straight or bent?”

[I like him soft.]

He chuckled softly. “You’re lying. You clearly like it hard, not soft.”

[Cough, cough, shut up!]

Pei Yanlie replied with a “Okay”, leaned down, and kissed his lips.
