Jingwen Zhang was too busy to stay any longer. To drink in the bar was only his excuse; all friends who were familiar with Zhang knew that he was busy arranging his wedding.
“When your ‘little spouse’ feels better, take him to hospital for a physical examination. He didn’t look well,” Jingwen Zhang said when he was about to leave, but something suddenly occurred to Zhang, so he asked, “What kind of medicine do you take recently? What’s in the glass bottles in your study?”
Wenxu Jiang had no idea, so he shook his head, “They are not mine. I will ask Zhishu when he wakes up.”
Jingwen Zhang wanted to add something, but he was interrupted by a phone call. Zhang waved at Jiang as he was answering the phone in an ingratiating voice, walking quickly towards the door and saying, “I am coming home right now…. I said I was going to Wenxu’s home…What did you say? You want to eat crabs? Live ones? You want to steam them in person? How can I get live ones in a winter midnight? …Hello, don’t be mad at me, my dear wife…”
Wenxu Jiang silently closed the door behind Zhang, feeling that his house was colder and more cheerless. Zhang was a playboy in the past, and he was always proud, egoistic and cynical, always laughing at those friends who got married one after another. No one expected that Zhang would one day fall in love with a girl and became so docile to her. Zhang even persuaded Wenxu Jiang to be serious for love and stop being a jerk.
Wenxu Jiang went back to the guest room and turned the air conditioner up. Half-kneeling by the bed, Jiang carefully tucked Zhishu He in again, affectionately looking at He who was sleeping with a few strands of unruly hair on the face, so Jiang reached out his hand to tuck them behind He’s ear. Amazingly, his heart was full of unspeakable feelings, namely love that Jiang was familiar with, uneasiness and fear. Wenxu Jiang neither expected that Zhishu had known his affairs, nor believed that he would call other’s name while hugging Zhishu when he was drunk. Jiang realized that he was such a cruel jerk. If Zhishu He was found to have a lover or two outside, Jiang was sure that he would not bear it and even might kill them. However, Zhishu He tolerated him and tolerated his affairs for so long.
“When I was drunk, I often called your name… Don’t make up a story to fool me just because you are angry…” Wenxu Jiang was tired from the whole day’s conflict, so he just lay down aside Zhishu He without taking off clothes. Jiang held Zhishu He into his arms tightly, murmuring in a half-asleep state, “I will break up with all of them… You are the only one I want…”
Zhishu He had no idea of what time it was when he woke up in the morning. The curtain was not fully drawn; through the window warm sunshine was spreading over the bed. Sitting up in the bed, Zhishu He squinted in the bright sunlight, feeling painful all over the body.
The door of the bedroom was closed but a gap was left. He was able to hear morning news broadcasting in the living room and smell the sweetness of millet congee from the kitchen. For a moment, Zhishu He was in a daze.
