These days, as soon as it was time to get off work, Qiong Dafang had no intention to work overtime and ran early to pick up Zhen Xiaoqi. Today, he punched out on time and was ready to slip, but was stopped by Lao Li.

Lao Li pulled him to the corner of the office and thanked him, “Xiao Qiong, last time you lent me a sum to turnover. Buddy, thank you so much. Now I’m not so tight at hand and can give it back to you first.”

Qiong Dafang habitually said “Don’t worry” and wanted to blurted out it was fine. But at the very last second, he stopped and swallowed it back.

So close! Qiong Dafang breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. He ate his meals daily at the other person’s house these days. He did not have any face at all anymore. If Xiaoqi found out he acted generous again, Xiaoqi would definitely be so angry and punch him.

However, Qiong Dafang has never been this way before. So now, he didn’t know what to say. After a while, he uttered a sentence:, “You transfer to me via Alipay.”

Lao Li scanned his QR code and transferred him the money. The sound of falling gold coins “hulalala” made him feel that it sounded very nice for the first time. He felt that he might be infected by Zhen Xiaoqi, being especially happy when he saw money.

Lao Li also wanted to drag him to go drinking. But he kept waving Lao Li off again and again: “I have something on, really there is something, next time, I will go next time.”

Qiong Dafang freed himself from his colleague, ran out to find his electric scooter, and hurriedly arrived when Zhen Xiaoqi was off work.

Zhen Xiaoqi recently resembled a peacock. Every day after work, he walked proudly and jumped on Qiong Dafang’s electric scooter under the disbelieving gazes of his colleagues. He clung on to Dafang’s waist as they slowly drove out.

It was the same for today. When they were out of the company’s area, Zhen Xiaoqi even said proudly, “Hmpg, I think they even said that I couldn’t find a boyfriend!”

He patted Qiong Dafang’s broad back with satisfaction, “Look how good my boyfriend is! Let them be jealous to death!”

Qiong Dafang looked down at the small electric scooter under their buttocks, and the old track pants he had hurriedly pulled out from wardrobe in the morning. He would like to tell Zhen Xiaoqi that even if his colleagues were gay, they would not be jealous.

But Zhen Xiaoqi held him tightly from behind. He used one hand to cover one of Xiaoqi’s hands that was placed on his waist, and Xiao Qi consciously slightly separated his fingers and laced their fingers together.

So Qiong Dafang didn’t say any stupid things. He told Zhen Xiaoqi that his colleague gave him back the money owed. They can go to the supermarket today to buy a lot of delicious food.

“Let’s buy lesser. The refrigerator in my house has not been repaired, so I can’t afford to buy more.” Zhen Xiaoqi held Dafang’s waist and stretched his head over Dafang’s shoulder. His eyes were shining, “You owe me a total of 337 plus 100 pocket money plus 70 yuan for seven days and seven dinners. For those that came after we started dating, I will not count with you. A total of 507, please transfer via Alipay, thank you! “

Qiong Dafang patted Xiaoqi’s head, “I know, I know! Who dares to shortchange you even a dime?”

The two people arrived at the supermarket. As soon as Qiong Dafang stopped the electric scooter, he pulled out his phone, “Here you are, transfer you right now! Zhen Xiaoqi, are you the God of Fortune?”

Zhen Xiaoqi peeked over his shoulder, looked at Qiong Dafang’s mobile screen and was smiling widely. “I guess I should be, otherwise why I am so happy when I see money!”

“Fine, fine God of Fortune, let’s go and get things.” Qiong Dafang lifted the phone up to make Zhen Xiaoqi see it clearly. He transferred Zhen Xiaoqi a rounded up sum of 1000.

“Aiya, how embarrassing this is, why did you add interest yourself?” Zhen Xiaoqi smiled so wide that his eyes were narrowed into a line, and he did not look embarrassed at all.

He jumped down from the scooter, clutching the backpack strap with both hands, skipping like a teenager.

Seeing him happy, Qiong Dafang felt very happy too, especially when he saw the shabby old backpack on Zhen Xiaoqi’s back. The bag swayed following Xiaoqi’s footsteps. Qiong Dafang’s heart was incredibly soft. He felt that Zhen Xiaoqi especially loved him, which made him feel both happy and sad. He told himself that he had to treat Xiaoqi better, much better.

However, before Qiong Dafang could show his tenderness, he felt like he was about to be strangled to death by Zhen Xiaoqi

“Buy a duck, I want to drink duck soup.” Qiong Dafang drooled at a fat duck in the fresh foods area.

“No, I have already bought trotters and so many other dishes. What if we can’t finish them? “ Zhen Xiaoqi tugged Qiong Dafang’s hand to quickly get him to leave. He did not allow Dafang to buy imported mangoes or “authentic” hairy crabs.

Qiong Dafang was furious. “Not allowed to buy this, not allowed to buy that. Then, what am I allowed to buy?”

Zhen Xiaoqi dragged him to the daily necessities area. “There is a huge discount on paper products. We can buy plenty of toilet paper. We can participate in the lucky draw if we buy up to 200.”

From the shelves, Zhen Xiaoqi swept off twenty packs of toilet paper and twenty packs of tissue, making their shopping cart extremely full.

Qiong Dafang stared at Zhen Xiaoqi who had taken a mountain of paper yet did not allow him to buy a duck. Anger started rising from his heart. “I don’t want to buy toilet paper! Why must I get toilet paper? It is not like I am a single dog!”

Zhen Xiaoqi blushed and used the packet of toilet paper in his hand to smack the face of the shameless man before him. “Just because you are no longer a single dog, you do not need to wipe your ass?”

Qiong Dafang was beaten by the honesty. He hummed and stood aside to let him push the car. He did not expect for Zhen Xiaoqi to return to the fresh foods area after one round in the daily necessities aisle.

Zhen Xiaoqi stood before the freezer for the poultry meat and looked for awhile. Qiong Dafang could help but get excited. “Are you getting a duck? Is it a duck?”

He felt that Xiaoqi treated him well. Even though Xiaoqi had been fierce to him, wasn’t he still buying him a duck now?

But he did not expect it. Zhen Xiaoqi did not take a fat duck but took the duck skeleton with some slices of meat beside it. It was marked “Special, 5 Yuan” on the card beside it.

“Fuck!” Qiong Dafang felt hopeless. He should have known not to expect so much from Zhen Xiaoqi. Said he liked him, but won’t even buy him a duck to eat! He was not a dog, why was he getting him bones! Qiong Dafang was so angry he turned his face away.

But after they checked out and the shopping bags were all full, Qiong Dafang took the initiative to carry them. Because they bought too many paper products and took up too much volume, he could extend his hands out like wings.

Zhen Xiaoqi even took the small ticket to go and redeem the lucky draw prize. Qiong Dafang dragged along a pile of shopping bags and followed behind noisily. He definitely resembled a winged duck now.

Zhen Xiaoqi took the small ticket to the small counter infront of the supermarket. The staff took out a box to let him do a lucky draw. Both his eyes brightened and reached his hand in with a breath. He seriously reached around for a while before carefully pulling a piece of paper out.

“Wah!” He stared at the paper in his hand and danced with excitement. “I won! I won!”

Qiong Dafang got excited too as his heart throbbed. “What? What did you win?” He excitedly walked over to look. The sweat on his arms caused the shopping bags he was holding to slip.

“A bag of X Laundry Detergent (500ml)”

Qiong Dafang’s face immediately darkened. He stared at Zhen Xiaoqi who was happily going to collect the prize. He did not understand why did he himself become so foolish. He should have known Zhen Xiaoqi’s character by now.

Indeed, love would make a person lose themselves.

With a black face, Qiong Dafang sent the year’s supply of toilet paper and a grinning Zhen Xiaoqi with his laundry detergent back to Zhen Xiaoqi’s house with difficulty.

After climbing up to the sixth floor with all the bags, he collapsed on the sofa and refused to move.

After keeping the things away, Zhen Xiaoqi went over to check on Qiong Dafang and saw that he had closed his eyes and fallen asleep.

“Always like this! Only know how to sleep!” Zhen Xiaoqi complained and tugged Qiong Dafang’s ears but went to cook with a smile.

He blanched the pig trotters, stir-fried with rice wine soy sauce and added to the pressure cooker to boil.

He washed the green vegetables and tore off the tendons of each leaf before frying with mushrooms.

Zhen Xiaoqi stared at the duck bones that cost 5 yuan. He thought of Qiong Dafang’s face of wanting to eat duck but was unable to and laughed to himself.

As he amused himself, he chopped up the duck bones and washed it clean. Then, he drained it before frying them in a frying pan. After frying, he put them in clear water to boil. After it start boiling, the soup became milky white. He added cut radishes in and cooked the soup until the radishes turned soft and he could use chopsticks to pierce through them.

When Qiong Dafang woke up, he saw that the tableware had already been laid out.

Crispy and tender trotters, with thick red sauce, stir-fried mushrooms and vegetables. Milky white duck soup.

Zhen Xiaoqi came out with the rice and was about to wake him up but saw that he was already sitting at the table, holding his chopsticks.

“You woke up at the right time. Were you faking sleep earlier?” Zhen Xiaoqi complained a little as he picked up his chopsticks and looked at Qiong Dafang’s expression.

Qiong Dafang drank a mouthful of soup and stared at him in disbelief. “You really made this out of duck bones?”

Zhen Xiaoqi felt triumphant. “Of course. This was made out of 5 dollars duck bones. Delicious right?”

Qiong Dafang took a big sip. “Fresh, really fresh! Cheap and delicious.” He was convinced. “Wife, you’re too capable!”

“Wi..wi…what wife!” Zhen Xiaoqi was shocked and was stammering.

Even though the both of them have confessed to each other, but in actual fact, in the past few days they have been getting along like how they usually did so. Qiong Dafang suddenly called him that and he was not used to it!

Qiong Dafang took the rice and said very smoothly, “Of course you’re my wife. We have even kissed.” He raised his eyes and quickly looked at Zhen Xiaoqi. He swallowed the mouthful of rice. “Of course, if you’re not happy, I can call you husband too.”

“Husband?” Zhen Xiaoqi’s hand that was holding the chopsticks, trembled.

He had never thought Qiong Dafang would have such a shocking side. Wasn’t it a straight guy last time… right?

Qiong Dafang slowly picked up some vegetables with his chopsticks, his tone also slow. “Wife, I want to move in with you.”

“Why?” One shock after another. Zhen Xiaoqi felt that Qiong Dafang was out to shock him to death today.”

“My rent is too expensive.” Qiong Dafang gave an extremely good reason. “I am staying alone in an apartment with a rent of 2000. Don’t you find that it is too expensive?”

“2000?” Zhen Xiaoqi immediately calmed down and his hand stopped trembling, face stopped blushing and his voice was no longer shaking. “Move! Move immediately! You move over tomorrow. I will go talk to your landlord to see if he can return you the remaining rent.”

“Orh.” Qiong Dafang agreed obediently.
