Chapter 56 Husband (1/2)
After quitting the game, Bluegreen-Clad stood up and touched Zheng Xiaoguang's forehead while saying, ”I'll wash some fruit for us. You play alone first.”
Zheng Xiaoguang watched Bluegreen-Clad walk toward the kitchen in a daze. After a while, she got up and followed him.
When she entered the kitchen, she saw him washing grapes in the sink. A dish of peeled jackfruit was placed beside him. It looked golden and delicious.
She crept up behind him, plucked up her courage, and gently pulled the hem of his shirt while saying, ”I don't like to see Venus adding blood for you all the time. It's my job.”
She thought, ”This Venus is just like an ordinary clerk who always strives to go over her supervisor and to do all the supervisor's jobs just in order to draw the attention of the general manager. No supervisor will like such a clerk who appears so eager to replace himself or herself.
”It's great to see Venus taking such an active part in the game. But does she really think that I'm stupid?
”What if there's only one doctor in the team? Does she really believe that she can help the team getting through the instance by adding blood only for Bluegreen-Clad? Teamwork is clearly more important under such circumstances.” Zheng Xiaoguang had felt annoyed just now when playing together with Venus, but she managed to suppress her anger for the sake of the team.
As for Venus, she ignored all the other team members and kept adding blooding for Bluegreen-Clad even when his blood was full. She showed no respect for the feelings of Flowing Light, who was also a doctor.
She seemed not worried about irritating Flowing Light at all.
Zheng Xiaoguang thought grumpily, ”As this Venus is always able to subdue Saori, she can't be stupid. She does this in front of me on purpose. She must think that I can only endure this as I can't accuse her of making any obvious mistake.
”But she's wrong about me. I'm not the one to be bullied.”
Bluegreen-Clad continued washing the fruit and said, ”If you don't like it. We just don't team up with her anymore. There's nothing between her and me.”
Upon hearing that, Zheng Xiaoguang thought, ”Well, I know that there's nothing between you two.
”Han Meimei explained this thing to me a long time ago. Although Bluegreen-Clad seems to care nothing about the attractive appearance of Venus, I just can't stand by and watch this pretty girl hitting on my husband.
”As the saying goes, only a determined thief is a real worry. Venus is obviously determined to seduce my husband, regardless of the fact that she has never voiced her thoughts. As she seldom makes mistakes, it's not easy for me to find fault with her. This is really disgusting.
”Anyhow, I have to do something about it. I won't just sit back and watch her stealing my husband from me.”
With this in mind, she sighed. ”But what if she stalks you no matter where you go? If she asks you for a favor when I'm not online, what will you do?”
”You don't want me to do her a favor?” Bluegreen-Clad turned the faucet off and said. The two of them remained silent for a while.
”No,” Zheng Xiaoguang replied assertively.
She just did not want anyone to covet her husband.
She thought that this was probably because of greed. In the past, she had always felt that Bluegreen-Clad and she were married for the alliance of the two gangs. Because of that, she had never treated Bluegreen-Clad as her husband or cared too much about Venus before.
She thought, ”We got married just to strengthen the alliance between the Matchless and the League of Strong Families. Many loving couples in the game end up getting divorced. A couple like us, who got married for benefits instead of love, will probably not end well either. Now we're good because the League of Strong Families chooses to work with the Matchless to suppress the Sacred Temple together. But if the Sacred Temple collapses some day, and there are only two big gangs on this server, the League of Strong Families and the Matchless will perhaps get on bad terms. When that happens, we'll definitely get divorced.
”I'm always prepared for such a situation. I gave Bluegreen-Clad my account password because of that. All the valuable items on that account are bought by him. When we get divorced, he can take all those things away anytime he wants.
”But somehow I've just grown used to his company and don't want to give him to anyone else now.”
She continued, somewhat awkwardly. ”You're my husband. I just don't like to see some girl hitting on you all the time.”
Even though Bluegreen-Clad reacted nonchalantly to Venus, Zheng Xiaoguang still felt disgusted when playing together with the girl.
Bluegreen-Clad wiped his hands dry and turned around to look at Zheng Xiaoguang.
She thought that he was going to persuade her to stop being so petty and to ”make peace” with Venus as she was a member of the gang. She turned her face to the side embarrassedly to avoid making eye contact with him.
