    Chapter 217: Calling You a Beast in Human Clothing is an Understatement

    Ever since people near the office building witnessed the General holding hands with a strange man, the private chat groups had exploded.

    Some bold staff members had secretly taken several photos from tricky and hidden angles, and due to shaky hands, Zhou Zhou’s face was slightly blurred.

    [Breaking news, the General is gay!!!]

    [Picture] [Picture] [Picture]

    [They’re holding hands, their bodies are pressed close together, and the General even leaned down to whisper in his ear, ahhh!]

    [First time getting a nosebleed from shipping, I’m done for.]

    [What happened to the vow of never marrying!!]

    [My dream man has ultimately escaped the grave of love.]

    [Who is that man? From today on, I declare him my rival in love!]

    In the military cafeteria, near the window, Su Wanxing stared intently at the two people closely standing together in the photo, the nutrient solution in his hand squeezed until it overflowed.

    The two friends sitting opposite him noticed his gloomy expression and knew exactly what was going on. Everyone in their Second Team knew that Su Wanxing liked the General. Anyone who expressed admiration for the General in front of him would inevitably be targeted.

    “Maybe it’s a relative, don’t think too much,” one of his friends said in a dry, consoling tone.

    Anyone with eyes could tell that the General and that man had an ambiguous relationship.

    Su Wanxing looked down at the sticky nutrient solution on his hand, his stomach churning. A feeling of nausea rose in his throat. He retched and ran towards the bathroom.

    He rushed into a stall, slammed the door shut, and bent over the toilet, gagging for a long time, but nothing came out.

    “Cough cough cough…”

    The General, such a cold person, actually showed a gentle expression to that man in front of outsiders. He had known the General for so many years, and he had never seen him like that.

    Panic and unease disturbed his mind. While feeling uncomfortable, he also felt intense resentment towards Zhou Zhou. He was the one who had been by the General’s side the longest, so why did he steal the General’s attention as soon as he appeared?

    Why? He was just a man who had graduated not long ago. He had won countless honors and awards during his school years, so why…?

    He couldn’t understand it. He opened the stall door and walked to the sink, his pale fingers stroking his cheek. “Is my face not good enough?”

    He was the recognized handsome man of the Second Team. There was no doubt about his looks. Perhaps he was too gentle? That man looked thick-skinned. The General was probably unable to shake him off…so that’s why…

    He splashed water on his face, the pain in his eyes hidden beneath his thin eyelids. “Since the General likes men, then I still have a chance.”

    He turned on his optical brain, the cold white light shining on his face, making his eyes even colder, exuding a chill.

    In the General’s exclusive office, Zhou Zhou had just stepped inside when he was pressed against the door by a strong force.

    “Pei Yanlie, at least let me eat something before… um…”

    [Where are your hands going!]

    Zhou Zhou tensed his abdomen, held his breath, and glared down at the hand reaching below his abdomen.

    His body was as sensitive as ever. Just a light touch from his fingers felt like fire, a burning heat rising.

    “You’re too thin, your waistband is a bit loose. Eat more later.” Pei Yanlie saw him stiffen up without saying a word, his lowered eyelashes forming a shadow beneath his eyelids, his eyelids trembling slightly with tension.

    “I won’t tease you anymore, let’s eat first.” Pei Yanlie withdrew his hand, saw him breathe a sigh of relief, and raised his moist eyes to look at him, the corners of his eyes very red, his slightly parted lips seeming to invite someone to taste them.

    “Aren’t we eating?” Zhou Zhou met his intense gaze, his lips opening and closing, revealing a glimpse of his flushed tongue.

    Pei Yanlie put one arm around his lower back and pressed him against himself. “I haven’t even bullied you yet, and you’re already making that aggrieved and seductive expression. Are you doing it on purpose?”

    He had recently enjoyed rubbing Zhou Zhou’s lower lip hard with the calloused pads of his fingers until his lips were congested and even redder, before lowering his head to kiss him, nibbling and biting.

    Zhou Zhou tilted his head, enduring his kiss filled with male hormones. From the beginning, he had wrapped his arms around Pei Yanlie’s neck. Until he was kissed until his whole body was limp, the strength of his arms weakened. He then leaned weakly against Pei Yanlie’s chest, panting heavily.

    Pei Yanlie wasn’t satisfied with just kissing his lips. In the blink of an eye, he kissed his right ear, nibbling and licking intimately until his earlobe was red and hot. He then moved his ground, moving down along his ear.

    The fiery kisses spread to his neck and collarbone. Unknowingly, they had both become aroused. Zhou Zhou’s collar was opened by his nimble fingers, revealing most of his shoulder, and heat followed.

    “Okay…enough.” The stinging pain in his chest brought Zhou Zhou back to his senses. His legs were weak, his fingers tightly gripping Pei Yanlie’s shoulders as he struggled to push him away.

    Pei Yanlie moved his lips away, satisfied as he looked at the marks he had left on Zhou Zhou’s body. “This side is a little lighter.”

    With that, he leaned in again.

    [Damn! It hurts so much!]

    Zhou Zhou cried out softly, his hands unconsciously grabbing his hair and pulling it outwards. “Get off, you’re going to break the skin.”

    “It’s not broken.” Pei Yanlie straightened up and carefully examined his chest. Seeing that the color was uniform, he then lifted his chin and gave him another deep, throat-grabbing kiss.

    “Mmm…”

    The air in his chest was taken away by the other party. The dizziness and numbness caused by the lack of oxygen made Zhou Zhou struggle, his hands beating against his back, protesting loudly in his mind.

    [Pei Yanlie, are you trying to kiss me until I suffocate!]

    Pei Yanlie had kissed enough to satisfy his craving and finally let go. He half-embraced Zhou Zhou’s waist and led him to the sofa to sit down.

    Zhou Zhou lay down, one leg resting on the armrest, the other leg hanging weakly on the floor.

    The neat white military uniform was already crooked under Pei Yanlie’s harassment, especially the chest area, which was almost exposed to the air.

    His fair chest rose and fell sharply with his breathing. He panted for a while before his breathing slowly calmed down.

    “What kind of man are you, kissing like you’re eating someone?” Zhou Zhou raised his hand to wipe the wet corners of his eyes, complaining in annoyance.

    The desire in Pei Yanlie’s eyes was still intense. He reached out and touched Zhou Zhou’s collarbone covered with kisses, his voice low and husky. “I want this mark to be etched on you for life.”

    Zhou Zhou pushed away his hand, caressing his collarbone. He didn’t need to look to know that the uneven tooth marks were unsightly.

    “Are you itchy or what? I didn’t see you biting people often before. Don’t bite anymore. Don’t just think about your own pleasure, at least consider me, it hurts so much.” Zhou Zhou sat up and glared at him fiercely.

    Pei Yanlie helped him straighten his clothes before opening the lunchbox on the coffee table. “I have to go to the distant star cluster tomorrow, for about five days. I’ll have someone send you lunch these few days. Eat more, don’t let me find out you’ve lost weight, otherwise…”

    “There’s no need to say the words that follow,” Zhou Zhou interrupted him, taking the lunchbox he handed him, not taking it to heart.

    “I’ll weigh you tonight. If you lose even an ounce in five days.” Pei Yanlie looked at him meaningfully and whispered something in his ear.

    Zhou Zhou almost dropped the lunchbox. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn’t stand Pei Yanlie’s lewd talk.

    [Calling you a beast in human clothing is an understatement!]

    “Don’t worry, I won’t give you a chance to use them.” Zhou Zhou shoveled a large mouthful of rice, one side of his cheek bulging.

    Pei Yanlie curled his lips in a good mood, staring at him intently as he ate. As he watched, he himself became hungry.

    Zhou Zhou’s expression while eating was really spot on, arousing his appetite.

    “Knock knock knock.”

    At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

    Pei Yanlie frowned. It was rest time now, so it was unlikely that anyone would come to disturb him.

    Zhou Zhou saw his face darken and said vaguely, “Aren’t you going to open the door?”

    “General, are you inside?” A clear, soft male voice came through the crack in the door and reached their ears.
