TLCBITAR Chapter 76

Chapter 76: I’m Going to be a Man of the Sea

Zhou Zhou walked down the stairs, not looking back at the man behind him, and asked with curiosity in his tone, “Senior Pei, when did you start liking Little Star?”

Pei Yanlie stared deeply at the back of the person in front of him, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly, and said softly, “I liked her from the first time I saw her.”

[Pei Yanlie, I suspect you’re lying.]

[My wife fell flat on her face, and you didn’t even spare her a glance. Is your love so indifferent?]

Zhou Zhou secretly complained, stopped, turned around, and looked up at the male lead in his crisp black suit, curving his lips into a smile, “It seems, Senior Pei’s love is a bit unusual.”

Pei Yanlie’s gaze fell on his opening and closing, red and moist lips, and a dark, incomprehensible light gradually surged in his eyes.

Zhou Zhou looked confused, “Huh?”

[Big brother, wake up, are you possessed?]

Pei Yanlie shifted his gaze, no longer looking at him, and said in a low voice tinged with hoarseness, “Let’s go to class first, the bell is about to ring.”

Zhou Zhou said with some regret, “I was still planning to talk to you about Su Wanxing, but never mind.”

Pei Yanlie walked up to him in two steps, looking down at him with an undeniable tone, “Come to the office building after school at noon, I bought a few new Buddhist scriptures.”

“Wait, Senior Pei, haven’t you given up yet?” Zhou Zhou widened his eyes, his tone full of resentment.

[Are you really treating me like an evil spirit?]

[Is there such a youthful, lively, cheerful, and handsome evil spirit?]

Pei Yanlie raised his eyebrows slightly, suppressing the urge to pull him into his arms and tease him, and said in a hoarse voice, “To cultivate my moral character.”

It was just an excuse, actually. Ever since he became interested in the man in front of him, reading Buddhist scriptures had become a shield.

The real purpose was to take advantage of Zhou Zhou falling asleep to openly ogle him, and even secretly kiss his lips.

After all, Zhou Zhou’s vigilance was almost nonexistent when he was asleep.

Bringing up that girl was just to dispel Zhou Zhou’s inner concerns, so he wouldn’t play a game of hide-and-seek with himself.

[Tsk tsk, cultivate your moral character? Are you going to enter retirement early?]

[You can just listen to them yourself, why drag me into it?]

[How can you find a wife if you become a monk? I’m going to be a man of the sea!]

Pei Yanlie’s expression instantly darkened for a moment when he heard these words, and he coldly snorted in his heart: Zhou Zhou, don’t even think about touching other women in this lifetime.

Zhou Zhou had great ambitions, but nowhere to display them. The school prohibited dating!

Speaking of which, he had to mention something.

Zhou Zhou cleared his throat and said, “Senior Pei, let me ask you something.”

Pei Yanlie restrained his emotions and said a faint “Mm.”

Zhou Zhou awkwardly touched his nose and asked vaguely, “The school prohibits dating, was this messed up rule… proposed by you?”

Pei Yanlie looked at him meaningfully, and his thin lips parted slightly, “Yes, I think you know the reason.”

Zhou Zhou showed a bewildered face, the doubt in his eyes was obvious.

[Hey, hey, don’t speak in riddles!]

[What do I know? I don’t know any… Oh, right, because of the female lead!]

[Little Star is now recognized as the school beauty of Beicheng University, with countless suitors. No wonder Pei Yanlie proposed this devastating rule!]

Zhou Zhou revealed an expression of understanding and looked at the deep-seated male lead with relief.

[I didn’t expect you to hide it so deeply, I didn’t even realize your possessiveness and love for Little Star!]

Pei Yanlie knew Zhou Zhou’s ability to fill in the blanks, so he remained silent, quietly listening to how Zhou Zhou was convincing himself.

[But, since he’s deeply in love with Little Star, why did he ruthlessly avoid Little Star’s embrace the first time they met?]

Unconsciously, Zhou Zhou spoke this question aloud.

Pei Yanlie “truthfully” replied, “Men and women should not touch hands, and without establishing a relationship, I will not touch a single inch of her skin.”

[Ah, ah, ah, this is heresy! Nonsense!]

[Pei Yanlie! When did you become so innocent! You are the most energetic and strongest male lead in this book!]

[Yearning in the Sea of Desire: My Delicate, Sweet Wife, You Can’t Escape My Palm. Your love for the female lead occupies seventy percent of the plot in this book!]

Pei Yanlie’s eyes rolled with thick desire, thinking, if that person were you, he would be more than happy.

“Ring, ring, ring…”

The class bell rang, interrupting their thoughts.

Zhou Zhou waved goodbye to him and quickly walked towards Class A1.

Pei Yanlie stood at the staircase on the third floor, looking at the figure walking away with fiery eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, “Zhou Zhou, see you at noon.”

…

Zhou Zhou walked into the classroom as the bell rang, and Fang Zhi was standing on the podium preparing to lecture, not making things difficult for him.

He had always been tolerant towards good seedlings. After Zhou Zhou sat down, he took a stack of materials and walked to Zhou Zhou, his voice a little gentler, “Jing City University will be holding a national math innovation competition at the end of next month, and I hope you will represent Beicheng University in the competition.”

Zhou Zhou couldn’t help but twitch his lips and directly refused, “Wait, my math is the worst, you want me to compete?”

In the original body’s college entrance exam results, the worst course was indeed mathematics.

Although Zhou Zhou had the convenient solutions of Starry Sky mathematics, he didn’t want to put himself in the limelight.

The novel problem-solving methods would definitely cause a huge uproar in the academic world.

At that time, his life would not be peaceful.

Zhou Zhou only wanted to lie flat and be a salted fish who eats, drinks, has fun, and goes to bars and picks up girls in this lifetime, and he couldn’t raise any interest in pursuing fame and fortune.

Fang Zhi thought he was being modest and persuaded, “The reward for first place in the competition is very generous, you can choose a large flat worth ten million across the country.”

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings fell silent.

“Professor Fang, since Zhou Zhou doesn’t want to go to the competition, can you give me the spot?” A slightly sharp male voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, it was the study committee member of the class, who was hardworking and diligent, but he was short of money and worked part-time at a small restaurant outside the school every night.

Fang Zhi waved his hand and commented bluntly, “You lack innovative ability.”

The study committee member insisted, “Professor Fang, please give me a chance.”

Zhou Zhou raised his eyes and looked diagonally across, his eyes wandering around the study committee member’s face. It was a very ordinary face, one that couldn’t be found even if thrown into a crowd.

However, it was such an ordinary little character who secretly framed the innocent female lead.

The reason was simple, the female lead stole his poverty subsidy.

The study committee member believed that the most miserable person in the class was himself, who knew that a dark horse would suddenly appear.

Fang Zhi glanced at him and thought he was too stubborn.

This competition pursued innovation. The study committee member only had a rigid mind and completely didn’t understand how to be flexible. He wanted to win first place?

Impossible.

Fang Zhi put down the materials and became firm in his attitude, “Zhou Zhou, don’t hesitate, I’ll put the materials here, you can come to me in your spare time if you don’t understand anything.”

After saying this, he turned around and walked back to the podium.

Zhou Zhou was speechless and choked, looking at the stack of materials, he only felt a headache.

Suddenly, a resentful and fiery gaze pierced him. He didn’t need to look to know who it was.

The study committee member’s eyes, filled with fatigue, were now laced with viciousness. Clearly, his entrance exam scores were higher than Zhou Zhou’s, so why were the homeroom teacher and the professor so good to Zhou Zhou!

He was unwilling, and countless dark thoughts Storm out in his mind.

Thinking that Liu Qian and Zhou Zhou were at odds, he lowered his eyes and a sinister arc rose at the corner of his mouth.
