TLCBITAR Chapter 298

Chapter 298: This Little Appearance is Quite Handsome

The next day at noon, Zhou Zhou lay on the bed contemplating life.

He had no freedom now, being strictly controlled by Pei Yanlie. If this continued, what difference would there be between him and a caged canary?

He casually opened his optical brain, and the brothers’ group chat popped up with 99+ unread videos and messages.

He didn’t make it to the gathering last night. Looking at the feverish scenes in the videos, he ground his teeth.

[Young Master Liu: I heard from Little Mustache that you were coming, so I specially called a few pretty girls. Where are you? @Zhou Xiao Zhou]

[A’Song: Long time no see, where has Brother Zhou been hiding, enjoying himself? @Zhou Xiao Zhou]

[Little Mustache: Xiao Zhou doesn’t go near women; you called them for nothing. @Young Master Liu]

[Little Mustache: Let’s get together again in a few days, Xiao Zhou, don’t break your promise, everyone wants to see you.]

Or rather, the person who wanted to see Zhou Zhou the most was himself.

……

Zhou Zhou rubbed his sore back, on the verge of tears. “With Pei Yanlie, this busybody, around, I have no chance of escape.”

“Why not try to break out while Pei Yanlie’s not here?”

This was Pei Yanlie’s former villa.

The area it occupied had been reduced a lot, but it was still ridiculously large.

The robot bodyguards standing guard at the villa’s entrance were about two meters tall, several times stronger than ordinary people.

As Zhou Zhou slowly moved to the entrance, the robots stood motionless, their red eyes turning to him in unison.

“Young Master Zhou, General has instructed that you are not allowed to step out of the villa.”

A flat, emotionless mechanical voice entered Zhou Zhou’s ears.

Zhou Zhou expressionlessly said “Oh,” and tentatively extended one foot.

The robot immediately acted, its mechanical legs striding forward to block him in the blink of an eye, warning again, “Young Master Zhou, for your personal safety, please return inside immediately.”

Zhou Zhou lightly clicked his tongue, rubbing the bones of his wrist joints, making a “crackling” sound.

He was in a bad mood and his hands were itching. He could use these robots to practice.

On the other side, Pei Yanlie’s optical brain emitted a “beep beep beep” alarm.

He frowned and quickly opened the real-time monitoring video.

Zhou Xiao Zhou, who was still screaming about pain and fatigue on the bed last night, was full of energy, sending a robot bodyguard, almost a head taller than him, flying three meters away with a spinning kick.

Pei Yanlie’s eyes deepened, and he muttered in a hoarse voice, “Was I not rough enough last night?”

On closer thought, Zhou Zhou’s physique was several times stronger than before, with excellent recovery ability.

Even if he fainted from exhaustion in the middle, he would still be fine the next day!

Seeing the robots guarding the door fall one after another, Pei Yanlie was somewhat surprised.

It seemed that Xiao Zhou’s combat ability had improved again.

An hour later, the robots that had fallen to the ground stood up one after another, their calm mechanical eyes glowing brightly red.

Zhou Zhou’s forehead began to sweat, and he gradually lost ground.

“Stop! I surrender!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the robots stopped moving, standing straight in place, staring at him fixedly.

Zhou Zhou raised his hand to wipe away the sweat, holding his sore back as he walked into the living room.

He raised his moist, flushed phoenix eyes and glared fiercely at the monitor above his head. “Pei Yanlie, is this how a wife treats her husband? You’re illegally imprisoning me!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a hovercar landing came from the front yard.

No need to guess, it must be Pei Yanlie rushing back.

He walked to the door, frowning as he looked at the unfamiliar figures getting out of the hovercar, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.

The newcomers were a man and a woman, plus a few black-clad bodyguards.

The man was wearing a casual shirt and suit pants, tall and straight, his facial features somewhat similar to Pei Yanlie’s, but with softer lines, making him look amiable.

The woman was dressed in a simple and elegant manner, her face full of heroic spirit, her sharp, deep eyes exactly like Pei Yanlie’s, and her tightly pursed lips exuded cold indifference.

“You’re the partner Yanlie chose?”

[This little appearance is quite handsome.]

The woman was about 180cm tall, only slightly shorter than Zhou Zhou, radiating a strong aura.

Zhou Zhou heard her inner thoughts, and touched his nose to cover up his reaction, clearing his throat.

He already guessed the other party’s identity, put away his frivolous expression, and bowed to them. “Yes, Uncle and Auntie.”

Pei Yanlie, your parents came to the door without a word, and while you’re not here, what’s their purpose?

Planning to throw a pile of high-level alien crystals at me and tell me to leave you?

He couldn’t be blamed for overthinking; all the melodramatic dramas he had watched played out this way.

“I am Yanlie’s father. This is our first meeting, and this is our greeting gift to you.”

The man who claimed to be Pei’s father handed Zhou Zhou a delicate gift box, and said slowly, “This is a pair of spatial rings, which already contain a large amount of supplies. I hope they will be useful to you.”

[This is also a little compensation we have for Yanlie.]

Zhou Zhou was overwhelmed with surprise, his fingers stroking the slightly cool gift box, and politely said, “Such precious things, Uncle and Auntie should keep them for yourselves.”

Pei’s mother straightened her face, raised her hand to show him the ring she was wearing, and refused to be refused, “His father and I already have one each, so just accept it.”

Pei’s father continued, “Yanlie separated from us when he was very young, so that over the years, his relationship with us has been rather distant.”

“Now that he has found a partner to spend his life with, it is only natural that we should come and meet him in person.”

Zhou Zhou scratched his hair, unsure whether to accept or not. He decided to let Pei Yanlie handle such a difficult choice.

“Uncle and Auntie, please come in and sit down for a while and have some tea. Pei Yanlie will be back soon.”

Pei’s father and Pei’s mother exchanged glances, communicating something with their eyes.

Pei’s father: [Go in?]

Pei’s mother: [Haven’t seen our son in so many years, don’t you want to see him?]

Pei’s father: [Yeah, let’s see him.]

Pei’s father: [Don’t keep such a stern face; look how you’ve scared our daughter-in-law.]

Pei’s mother: [I just look like this, am I scary?]

Pei’s father: [The aura is very strong, children will be nervous and afraid when they see you.]

Zhou Zhou:?

Wait, have I shown even a little bit of fear?

Pei’s father and Pei’s mother were invited by Zhou Zhou to the living room, and sat down on the luxurious sofa.

Pei’s father: [Why is there a chain on that windowsill?]

Zhou Zhou:!

Crap, I forgot about that.

The chain was naturally not to lock the window to prevent thieves from breaking in.

Pei’s mother saw a furry orange little tail on the edge of the sofa, and couldn’t help but pick it up.

She asked in confusion, “Is this a cat’s tail?”

Zhou Zhou’s pupils shrank sharply, his voice with a hint of imperceptible tremor, “It’s… a friend’s child accidentally dropped it.”

Damn it, how could such a perverted toy appear in the living room!

He carefully recalled the details of last night, and a suspicious blush crept up his face.

Just as he was feeling embarrassed, heavy footsteps approached from afar. He looked up at the tall figure walking against the light and slowly exhaled.

Very good, I’ll leave the rest to you.
