TLCBITAR Chapter 26

Chapter 26: The Male Lead Says I’ve Had a Serious Impact on Him

The next morning, Zhou Zhou changed into a normal set of clothes and walked downstairs with lazy, cat-like steps.

“Morning, Zhou Zhou.” Gu Yuanci was sitting leisurely in the dining room, greeting him.

“Did you sleep in my brother’s room last night?” Zhou Zhou asked bluntly.

Gu Yuanci blushed instantly, cleared his throat, and said, “Don’t overthink it, I just got here.”

Fortunately, Zhou Jin was still waging war in the bathroom, otherwise, if he had heard that, it would have caused unnecessary speculation.

Zhou Zhou plopped down on the dining chair, propping his chin with one hand, his eyelids half-drooped, and casually complained, “Tsk, I admire you, working day and night, aren’t you tired?”

Gu Yuanci didn’t pretend either, mimicking him by propping his chin with both hands, lowering his voice and slowly saying, “Being able to be by the side of someone you like, being tired is impossible.”

“My brother is straight.”

“I don’t mind.”

Zhou Zhou chuckled and glanced at Gu Yuanci’s outstanding face. “What do you like about my brother?”

Straight Man Zhou Zhou was very puzzled. Everyone was a hard, smelly man, what was there about him that was worth coveting?

Gu Yuanci didn’t answer, but asked, “What do you like about Pei Yanlie?”

Zhou Zhou’s face instantly darkened, and the bangs falling beside his ears seemed to want to explode. He said irritably, “Don’t look at everyone as gay! I’m straighter than these chopsticks!”

“Oh, who was it that was chasing after me before? I still have those love letters, want me to get them for you to review?”

“Damn it! How can you be so malicious!”

“Keep it down, don’t scare your brother.”

Zhou Zhou frowned, looking annoyed.

“Although your brother said you like Pei Yanlie, I don’t believe it.” Gu Yuanci stopped teasing him, and a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

Zhou Zhou curled his lips and “hmmphed” once. “I’m not gay, can’t you see the straight man aura radiating from me?”

“Yeah, you don’t have to put on this indifferent attitude towards me, I understand. How can a relationship be let go so easily? Time will heal everything. I hope you don’t hold a grudge against your brother because of this. I was the one who rushed to like him, he’s not aware.”

Zhou Zhou: …

His face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he had a feeling that he was about to have a heart attack. He opened his mouth to explain, but couldn’t say a word.

Gu Yuanci’s eyes were full of tenderness, and he smiled lightly. “Yeah, you don’t need to explain, I know you still like me.”

Zhou Zhou: …

He suddenly stood up, glared at Gu Yuanci fiercely, and hurried out of the villa in his flip-flops.

As soon as he walked out of the villa area, Zhou Jin called.

He took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and his tone carried a hint of resentment, “What?”

“Where are you running off to so early in the morning?” Zhou Jin asked suspiciously.

“Going out to play, don’t disturb me.”

“Where are you going?”

“Getting a haircut, alright?”

Hearing this resentful and impatient voice, Zhou Jin smiled helplessly.

“What’s with the temper?”

Zhou Zhou stopped, not wanting to dwell on those issues, and sighed, “It’s nothing, I made plans with a classmate, gotta go.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

He, a straight man, was misunderstood as gay again and again, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

He had only walked a few steps when a black Hummer appeared in his sight.

[Tsk, you’re everywhere!]

[Does Pei Yanlie live here?]

Pei Yanlie sat in the back seat, his slender fingers pressed on the car window button, the window was lowered, and the boy standing on the side of the road became clear.

The other party had a crooked half-ponytail tied on his head, and a few strands of bangs fell over his eyebrows and eyes. He pursed his lips slightly, staring at himself with a pair of resentful phoenix eyes.

He was wearing a loose white t-shirt, the collar was loose, revealing his fair and delicate collarbones.

His lower body was wearing knee-length black capri pants, and his two straight and slender calves were dazzlingly white.

Pei Yanlie lowered his eyes, his gaze going down, the other party was still wearing those pure black flip-flops, his toes were habitually curled together, and because of the force, his toenails had an alluring light pink color.

[Why is he always staring at my feet?]

[Could it be that he’s taken a fancy to my flip-flops?]

Zhou Zhou lowered his head and lifted his foot to look at it.

[It’s a very ordinary style, what’s so good about it.]

Seeing that Pei Yanlie was just staring at him like that, without saying a word, Zhou Zhou’s mouth twitched slightly. He pretended not to see him and raised his foot to walk forward.

“Come here.” A low, hoarse voice came from inside the car.

Zhou Zhou didn’t turn his head, not knowing that the person was talking to him. He reached out and took out the phone from his pocket, preparing to call a car.

“Zhou Xiaozhou.” The cold voice seemed to be mixed with a trace of imperceptible anger.

Zhou Zhou finally heard it, stopped, turned around, and looked at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes, “Are you calling me?”

[Big brother, please leave, why do you always bother me!]

The car door was opened, and a shiny leather shoe stepped on the asphalt ground. Looking up, there were straight black suit pants that fell naturally.

Pei Yanlie stood beside the car, his handsome face showing no emotion. He pursed his thin lips slightly, and the straight, cold lines made him seem indifferent and ruthless.

He took a long stride, walked slowly to Zhou Zhou, reached out and grasped the other party’s fair and slender wrist, his eyes churning with inexplicable emotions. “Without my permission, you took off the Five Emperors Coin Bracelet, are you that eager to get into the lab?”

The extremely cold voice made people tremble.

[Just talk, why are you getting physical!]

Zhou Zhou slapped his hand away, took a few steps back, and stared at him vigilantly, saying, “Senior Pei, what have I done to offend you, that you keep bothering me like this?”

After saying that, he took out the Five Emperors Coin Bracelet from his pocket and threw it at Pei Yanlie, his tone carrying a hint of disgust, “Take your things back, if you want to engage in metaphysics, then do it yourself, don’t drag me into it. You even threatened me with the lab, go ahead and grab me if you have the guts!”

[Crazy, crazy! Has the male lead’s persona collapsed!]

Pei Yanlie’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and the veins on his forehead bulged. “I said, you’ve had a serious impact on me.”

Ever since this boy appeared in front of him, the other party’s alluring eyebrows and eyes, and those fair and lovely jade feet, had repeatedly appeared in his dreams.

He thought he was bewitched, and even guessed that the boy was possessed by a fox spirit.

Forcibly putting the evil-dispelling item on the other party was to make the evil spirit dissipate as soon as possible, so as not to have that voice appear in his mind so often.

Zhou Zhou was so angry that he laughed, and even the corners of his eyes turned red. He curved his mouth and sarcastically said, “I’m just walking on the road, and that’s affecting you?”

“Yeah,” Pei Yanlie tensed his face and responded in a deep voice.

[Alright, if I can’t afford to provoke you, can’t I run away!]

Zhou Zhou suppressed the anger in his heart and turned to leave.

His wrist was grabbed by a huge force, and the Five Emperors Coin Bracelet was forcibly put on his hand again.

Zhou Zhou gritted his teeth and growled, “What do you mean?”

Pei Yanlie said without allowing any refusal, “Wear it for a week. If you dare to take it off during this time, then don’t blame me for taking coercive measures.”

“Are you a gangster?!”

“Do you want to try methods that are even more extreme than gangsters?”

“…”

[#＊#＊＊#＊]

His chin was suddenly pinched, and the cold fingertips sank deeply into his skin, and his lips were also pinched into a pout.

Pei Yanlie narrowed his eyes slightly and warned in a cold voice, “If I hear you chanting spells again, you can forget about this mouth.”

[You bastard, let go of me! It hurts!]

[Crazy person, who the hell is chanting spells, go to the hospital if you have hallucinations!]

…

In the end, Zhou Zhou was forcefully dragged into the car.

The black Hummer drove off in an unknown direction.
