TLCBITAR Chapter 47
by VolareChapter 47: Partnering with the Male Lead in the Draw
All morning, Zhou Zhou participated in six events and currently ranked first in the men’s group in total points.
At this moment, he was drenched in sweat, sitting in the shade of a tree, cooling off and drinking water.
Chen Qihang walked up to him with a stern, handsome face, spouting sour words, “You’re really something, I didn’t expect you to be such a show-off. Look at Old Qu’s face, he’s practically beaming.”
“Hmm, jealous? Envious? Your brother Zhou is just an all-around sports expert.” Zhou Zhou tilted his head back, took a sip of water, and replied lazily.
Chen Qihang sat down next to him, twisted open the cap of a mineral water bottle, took a sip, and his gaze landed on the gray thermos Zhou Zhou was holding. He asked curiously, “When did you get a thermos?”
Before coming to the playground, Zhou Zhou had nothing in his hands, so the sudden appearance of something could only mean someone had given it to him.
Zhou Zhou lowered his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he said vaguely, “A beautiful senior gave it to me, lemon water.”
Chen Qihang refused to admit that he was about to puke from jealousy, complaining, “Heh, giving water is one thing, but giving a cup too?”
Zhou Zhou gave a perfunctory “Ah, oh” in response.
This was the second thermos Pei Yanlie had given him. He really didn’t know what was going on with the other party, randomly giving him a cup for no reason.
Warm fingertips lightly stroked the smooth surface of the cup, he couldn’t figure it out, but he quickly let it go.
What’s not to love about getting free food, drinks, and gifts?
He shamelessly thought to himself, he would be the matchmaker for the male and female leads in the future, so it was only right to enjoy some benefits in advance.
“How did your 1000-meter race go?” Seeing the person next to him silent with a sullen face, Zhou Zhou asked casually.
Chen Qihang didn’t answer, pretending he didn’t hear.
Zhou Zhou chuckled and teased, “With your last-place athletic ability, you still dare to dream about Little Wanxing? Just give up on that idea early.”
Chen Qihang was furious, immediately stood up and left, unable to understand why he had to go next to Zhou Zhou to make himself miserable.
The girls on the playground saw Zhou Zhou sitting alone in the shade of a tree, and their faces immediately lit up with excitement, just as they were about to walk towards him.
“Buzz—”
A piercing sound came from the speakers, and they stopped in their tracks, looking at the stage in confusion.
The principal of Beicheng University held the microphone and cleared his throat, saying, “According to our school leaders’ observations, some female students are not following the school’s rules and regulations, causing serious harassment to other male students.”
“Therefore, I ask all teachers to take care of their students from now on. Anyone who knowingly violates this rule will be given a major demerit.”
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire audience was silent.
Zhou Zhou gritted his teeth and complained, the school was really too idle, not focusing on academics but clinging to this romance thing.
“Next, we will have a game interaction session. We will use a lottery method. The students who are drawn will form a team with one of the school leaders to carry out the game.” The principal of Beicheng University raised his voice, his powerful voice shaking people’s hearts.
Zhou Zhou curled his lips dismissively, thinking that there were so many students in the school, it was impossible to draw him.
The next second, he was slapped in the face.
The principal of Beicheng University smiled brightly, “The first student is Zhou Zhou from A1 class, congratulations, you have been selected.”
Zhou Zhou: …
No, he didn’t want this honor at all.
“The second student is Chen Qihang from A1 class, please come up to the stage if you are selected.”
Zhou Zhou instantly felt relieved. He stood up and walked towards the stage with leisurely steps.
Chen Qihang reluctantly followed behind him, the resentment in his eyes seeming to solidify and roll out.
There were a total of ten students drawn. Zhou Zhou put one hand in his pocket and casually looked at the students in the playground.
Suddenly, a faint gaze fell on him. He turned his head to look and met a pair of clear, beautiful peach blossom eyes.
A good-looking boy, about 185 cm tall, with an extremely strong physique, clearly a sports student with eight-pack abs.
Zhou Zhou frowned, wondering why the other party was looking at him, a strange feeling surged in his heart.
He turned his head to look again, but that person had already shifted his gaze.
Zhou Zhou didn’t take this little episode to heart.
“Next, please welcome the shareholders and leaders who are participating in the game to the stage.”
“It’s still a lottery to choose partners, please welcome President Pei of Tianchuang Technology to come over here to draw a lot.”
The principal of Beicheng University smiled so widely that he couldn’t close his mouth. In order to make President Pei happy, he specially arranged for Zhou Zhou and President Pei to be on the same team.
Pei Yanlie looked at the name on the slip of paper and gave the principal of Beicheng University a meaningful look, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes.
“Very lucky, the student that President Pei drew is Zhou Zhou!” The principal of Beicheng University became even more excited, the fat on his face shaking violently from excitement.
Zhou Zhou: …
[Damn it, why do I feel like there’s something fishy going on?]
Pei Yanlie raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at him with an ambiguous expression.
[Don’t look at me, I don’t want to be on the same team as you!]
Pei Yanlie’s face immediately darkened, and he snorted coldly.
The principal of Beicheng University was almost scared to death, why did President Pei suddenly get angry again?
“Next, please welcome President Qin of Hengxu Group to draw a lot.” The principal of Beicheng University’s voice was a little weaker, with a hint of trembling.
Qin Yan gave a faint “hmm” and slowly walked to the front of the lottery box, reaching in and taking out a slip of paper. At that moment, the diamond watch on his wrist shone brightly, stabbing Chen Qihang’s eyes.
Ah, I’m going blind!
He immediately closed his eyes, muttering to himself.
“The student that President Qin drew is Chen Qihang, haha…”
Haha your sister! Chen Qihang raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Qin Yan, and was instantly hit hard.
The other party was nearly 1.9 meters tall, like a mountain. Teaming up with him was no different from participating in a parent-child sports event!
Chen Qihang, who was just over 170 cm tall, was full of resentment.
Qin Yan noticed his gaze, and his deep eyes swept towards Chen Qihang, with obvious contempt and disdain in his eyes.
This weak chicken physique, actually on the same team as him?
Chen Qihang instantly exploded, his black-framed glasses seemed to be unable to seal his trembling heart, and his clenched fists proved that he was about to erupt.
[It’s the male second lead!]
Zhou Zhou sized up Qin Yan calmly, not expecting the male second lead to appear so quickly.
Qin Yan was the president of Hengxu Group, his status only second to Pei Yanlie, and he was arrogant and conceited.
The novel described him as a bisexual, but this doubt was quickly dispelled.
During the school’s organized autumn outing, he was invited to join and fell in love with the delicate white lotus female lead at first sight, unable to extricate himself.
The male second lead’s ending was tragic. Because he pestered the female lead again and again, he was regarded as a mortal enemy and thorn in the side by Pei Yanlie.
Under Pei Yanlie’s aggressive attacks, the male second lead’s reputation was ruined, his company went bankrupt, and he was finally forced by Pei Yanlie to develop various illnesses such as schizophrenia and paranoia.
He lived in a mental hospital for the rest of his life, dying alone.
[Tsk tsk tsk, you shouldn’t have liked Little Wanxing, you should just get out of here.]
[Pei Yanlie is a black-hearted bastard, you can’t beat him! He’ll cut off your ding-ding in minutes!]
Pei Yanlie: …
He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to tie this person’s mouth shut, and walked to the other party’s side, lowering his voice and asking, “Have you been diligently reciting the scriptures these past few days?”
Zhou Zhou gave a light “ah”, looked up at him, and lied without changing his expression, “I wouldn’t dare disobey what Senior Brother Pei ordered.”
“Am I that kind of person in your heart?” Pei Yanlie’s voice was low and hoarse, with an inexplicable hint of ambiguity in his words.
Because the two were too close, Zhou Zhou consciously took a step to the side, looking at him inexplicably, obviously not understanding what he meant.
