    Chapter 238 Smiling Tiger

    It was lunchtime, and the restaurant in the guesthouse was already mostly full of tourists, including many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen.

    Pei Yanlie’s arrival caused a stir. A high-ranking federal official who was eating immediately put down his knife and fork, stood up, and approached Pei Yanlie with a fawning smile to greet him.

    Pei Yanlie’s height was very conspicuous among the tourists, standing out like a crane among chickens. When he looked down at people, he exuded a strong sense of oppression.

    Before the bald-headed middle-aged man could say a few polite words, he was interrupted by Pei Yanlie’s cold gaze. A cold sweat instantly broke out on his back. He must have been dizzy to make such an obvious mistake.

    Everyone knew that Marshal Pei disliked others disturbing his private life the most. Now he was brazenly blocking his way, chattering a lot of nonsense, which must have made him angry.

    Seeing the ice-cold gaze and the aloofness and alienation in his eyes, the middle-aged man swallowed hard, trembling lips wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and whispered, “I’m sorry to disturb you, Marshal. I’ll leave now.”

    Pei Yanlie didn’t say a word throughout the entire process until the middle-aged man sensibly left, then he casually glanced at the restless crowd.

    The warning in his eyes was self-evident. The tourists who were so excited that they had stood up immediately sat down, lowered their heads, and gave up the idea of ​​cozying up to him.

    They only dared to steal glances at Marshal Pei in secret, and when they saw him sitting in front of a handsome young man, they couldn’t help but wonder who that young man was.

    Zhou Zhou leaned lazily against the sofa chair, looking down at the messages sent by his buddies on the micro-network.

    Hu Wenxu, that guy, had sent hundreds of messages, more long-winded than his own mother.

    Knowing that Hu Wenxu liked him, Zhou Zhou directly took a picture of the man across from him from the neck down and sent it to Hu Wenxu in order to dispel his thoughts.

    [Zhou Zhou: I didn’t lie to you, I really have a boyfriend, look, we’re on a date.]

    Ever since Hu Wenxu found out that Zhou Zhou was in love, he had broken down and become depressed, but in the end, he still didn’t quite believe it and insisted on seeing the real person in person.

    Zhou Zhou couldn’t bring Pei Yanlie in front of him, he was afraid that Hu Wenxu would be beaten to a pulp by Pei Yanlie.

    Zhou Zhou knew very well how strong Pei Yanlie’s possessiveness was, especially after he recovered his memory, he was no different from a madman. He would be jealous even if he just touched a robot that looked like the real person, and even stop his behavior.

    “Who are you chatting with?” No matter where Pei Yanlie sat, his back was straight, and his dark, abyss-like eyes stared straight at the optical brain in front of Zhou Zhou. The sharp gaze almost cut a big hole in the virtual screen, so as to discover the content hidden inside.

    He didn’t like Zhou Zhou paying too much attention to others, especially the friends in his micro-network. Last time, he had deleted thousands of impure friends without permission, and now it seemed that the deletion was not thorough enough.

    Zhou Zhou raised his eyelids to look at him, his expression calm and indifferent, and said without any guilt: “A professor from university, asked me to go back to school to get something.”

    Pei Yanlie’s eyelids twitched slightly, and he continued to ask, “What thing?”

    Zhou Zhou originally thought that his questioning would stop there, but his brain turned and he replied: “A trophy, I represented the school in a competition before.”

    He was telling the truth, there was indeed such a thing. Although his grades were neither good nor bad during his school years, he had a knack for data analysis, so he was deeply cultivated and loved by the old professor. Every big or small competition, the old professor let Zhou Zhou participate.

    Until graduation, the trophies Zhou Zhou won back for the school occupied a corner of the school’s hall of honor.

    He studied at a university on a side star, and he could only leave the main star to return to school. He hadn’t been back to the side star for several months since he fell into a coma in the game pod.

    Pei Yanlie’s eyes darkened, as if he was thinking about whether this person was lying. Now Zhou Zhou was very good at hiding his thoughts, and he didn’t even reveal his inner voice much.

    “Want to go back?” He saw the desire in Zhou Zhou’s eyes, so he asked according to his wishes.

    Zhou Zhou’s phoenix eyes widened slightly, then he nodded, “I want to, but the Federal Club wants me to stay on the main star for three months.”

    He knew that Pei Yanlie had a way to take him away. As expected, Pei Yanlie’s mouth curved slightly, and he said slowly: “Whenever you want to go back, I’ll accompany you.”

    Zhou Zhou wasn’t in a hurry now. He had to go to the Federal Army to study these days, lest Pei Yanlie regret it later, so he said a date that wasn’t too far or too close.

    “It’s just right to visit your parents.” Pei Yanlie thought more. Zhou Zhou was the person he would spend his life with in the future, so his parents were naturally the relatives he would protect in the future.

    Zhou Zhou’s heart trembled suddenly. If Zhou’s mother knew that he had found a boyfriend, and the boyfriend was still the Marshal Pei she admired so much, what would she think?

    Zhou Zhou really couldn’t imagine that scene.

    “So anxious?” He didn’t think about refusing, and asked casually.

    “We’ve known each other for more than a day or two, Zhou Zhou, I want to get your parents’ approval as soon as possible.” Pei Yanlie paused, staring at him with burning eyes, and then said, “Then get a marriage certificate with you, get married, exchange rings with you under the witness of interstellar citizens, and let them know that you belong to me.”

    Zhou Zhou’s lips trembled, and his heart beat violently with Pei Yanlie’s solemn words.

    He had never deeply thought about what marriage meant. In the past, in the world of the book, after knowing that Pei Yanlie wanted to marry him, he was shocked and at a loss.

    Marriage is a matter of a lifetime, which he thought would be far away from him, but this thing actually happened to him.

    Zhou Zhou only felt his throat dry, and he didn’t know what to say. He turned his head to look at the endless rain outside the window, and a sourness and sweetness welled up in his heart, intertwined together, like a beautiful dream, making people willing to sink.

    “Everyone, today is the one-month anniversary of the opening of the Haiwan Guesthouse. All tourists who check in today can enjoy a free lunch.”

    A brown-haired man in a white suit stood in the center of the restaurant at some point. A few strands of hair fell to his shoulders, and the rest of his hair was tied up casually behind his head. He was extremely handsome, and a pair of bright, star-like light-colored eyes were slightly curved, with a faint smile.

    “It’s Gu Yuanci, the owner of Haiwan Guesthouse.” Someone whispered his identity.

    Then, more discussions rose and fell.

    “Before I came here to play, I had a premonition that I would meet him. Don’t look at the smile on his face, he actually hides a knife in his smile. It is said that the Gu family was caught in a property dispute some time ago. This second son of the Gu family was originally just an illegitimate child and was not taken seriously by the other brothers… Who knows what means he used later, he actually made the other brothers give up their power and willingly leave the main star…”

    Zhou Zhou’s ears heard the whispers of the tourists at the next table, and his eyes flickered.

    [As expected of Big Brother Gu, a smiling tiger.]

    He looked at the tall Gu Yuanci without a trace, and the other party seemed to notice his gaze, and looked over with a smiling eye.
