Chapter 12 - Wanting A Family

has a good life with wife and kids. You’re jealous to death.”

T/N: Laozi is an informal way of I.

“I’m definitely not jealous,” ZhouXiang smiled, “I’m so unconstrained and free. Anyways, I will call sister in-law when I get back. I really have something to do today. Gotta go.”

CaiWei patted his back firmly, “Get lost.”

ZhouXiang blew him a kiss, “Wei Ge, thank you for introducing the work to me. I’ll treat you guys out to dinner.” After saying that, he left in an instant.

On his way home, he bought some beer and snacks. It just happened that there is a Real Madrid soccer game in the evening. He and YanMingXiu can watch the game together, how enjoyable.

After buying the things, he was very anxious to return home, “MingXiu, I am back.”

When he entered the home, he saw that YanMingXiu’s shoes at the front door were gone. ZhouXiang was instantly disappointed but still unwilling to give up, he called out twice. The home is empty. No one responded.

In the past 20 years, besides him, this old home didn’t have many guests. He can no longer remember the last time he called out, ‘I am back’ when he returned home. What it felt like to get a response back, he thought he could experience it again today.

Unfortunately, YanMingXiu had already left; he is still alone.

ZhouXiang couldn’t hide his inner disappointment and dejectedly put the things on the table. The two leftover boxes from their lunch were still on the table… which proved that beside him, there was someone else here.

CaiWei’s family treated him very well, but he is not willing to go to his house. CaiWei is right. He is very jealous of the joyous life of CaiWei’s family. It’s probably because ZhouXiang is naturally born to live a lonely life. His entire family died when he was just ten years old. Adding on, he is even gay. Such natural events in life such as having a wife, getting married, and have children will never happen in his life. Even finding a genuine same-sex companion is harder. He had slept with one after another, but none stayed by his side.

He really wanted to have a family.

ZhouXiang sighed, not knowing why he suddenly thought of these depressing matters, making his mood worse.

He got up and swiftly tidy up the table. Not willing to give up, he sent a text message to YanMingXiu. “There is a soccer game tonight. Come over to my home to watch it. I bought a lot of food.”

This text message is also like the other messages he sent…like a stone sinking into the vast ocean, with no response.
