Zhang Guoqing has not been having a good time lately. Every time, his wife’s disdainful look crushes his heart into pieces, but he can’t just kick back like his wife does.
Others are others, and he is he, okay?
Yi Jiefang heard his buddy’s sigh again and had to raise both hands, "Please, be kind and stop sighing at me, okay? Buddy, I’m really scared of you.
Tell me, what’s up with you these days? Just say it, and even if it takes all my power, I’ll help you sort it out."
Zhang Guoqing shook his head at him, looking up at the sky with a "sorrowful" expression. He had bitterness he couldn’t express. How could he tell his buddy he was being punished by his wife?
Yi Jiefang got a chill instantly.
Possessed by a ghost?
"Hahaha... This ghostly look doesn’t suit you. Hurry up, what do you want? You looked happy all summer, and now that autumn’s here, you’re down. Who knows how winter will be?
Uh, I get it, you want to go out, don’t you?"
Zhang Guoqing glanced at him, shook his head again with a "sorrowful" expression. He could say in summer there were feasts every day, and he could eat as he wanted, how could he not be happy?
Unfortunately, once the school started living in the dorm, even a bit of noise could be heard clearly. At home, there was his son messing around between him and his wife, who wouldn’t relent, and he had no strategy.
The little brat doesn’t get it~
"You don’t want to go out?"
"In class."
"True. Alright, put away that ghostly look of yours before someone sees you and complains I didn’t warn you."
Zhang Guoqing, kicked by him, playfully kicked back.
Kicking back and forth, the two of them messed around for a while and finally quieted down.
"Xiao Wu, do you think now that the village canteen is dissolved, there won’t be a shortage of meat and eggs anymore? How about we spend a few days in the countryside during winter break?"
"Sure, see which team in the Jingjiao area has better conditions, and we can stay a few days there."
Yi Jiefang clapped his hands together, "Good! When there’s time, buddy, I’ll take you back to my hometown. The scenery is great year-round, and there’s plenty of fruit, it’s all great stuff."
Lingnan, ah, it’s a good place... Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile, and with a slight glance, he caught sight in the distance of his buddy Ding Datou sneaking around looking.
Ding Datou finally found his buddy, and happily ran over here.
Zhang Guoqing looked curiously at his buddy running over and asked, "Who are you aimlessly wandering around the campus looking for? You’re not planning to change girls again, are you?"
"...How could that be!" Saying it as if Ding Datou is some kind of playboy. Ding Datou rolled his eyes at him, "Just got one, got to enjoy it fully before thinking about anything else."
Yi Jiefang gave him a disdainful look, "Watch out she might get pregnant, and you’ll be too late to back out. What’s so good about women? They’ve all gone bad."
"You greenhorn! Well, no wonder, I thought the same back in the day. Once you get a taste, go on and say confidently what’s so good about women, then I’ll admire you!"
Zhang Guoqing wasn’t bothered with his nonsense.
After all, it’s a matter of mutual consent, who really has the losing end is still uncertain.
This time, the woman on my buddy’s side looks like a seasoned veteran. He wouldn’t believe his buddy doesn’t know, otherwise, who would spread such nonsense everywhere.
Bad choices in friends... there, now these two are murmuring together again. These innocent kids are being led astray by those wild ones.
"...Really..."
"You’re just talking nonsense."
"What I’m saying is all wisdom."
"Who knows if it’s clean or not, disgusting."
"That’s a different matter, okay? It’s his own wife after all..."
"I’ll get it, you just sleep."
Did he mean that?
A good brain wasted, really IQ and EQ are different things.
"Darn..."
"Keep it down. The neighbors can hear."
After tidying up, the couple lay on the bed, Zhang Guoqing played with her hair, softly saying, "How about we rent a yard next door?"
"We’re living well here, it’s troublesome."
"Not troublesome, I’ll handle everything. If there’s an event at school at night, we’ll stay here. If not, and we haven’t gone back to the Big Courtyard, we’ll stay there. Some things are inconvenient here."
Zhou Jiao doused him with cold water, "It’ll be winter soon, without a heated bed, we’ll freeze to death~"
"Freezing to death is better than being suffocated to death."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. I just want you to eat whatever you want. It’s inconvenient here."
Finally speaking the truth? Zhou Jiao pinched him speechlessly, "Even with renting, there’s no chance for you to do bad things. Da Yi and the others will come knocking daily and won’t leave."
Zhang Guoqing shuddered immediately, complaining, "What kind of buddies are these? They don’t understand my good intentions at all. Is it easy for me?"
"The Women’s Federation is about to move, don’t keep that yard. In case someone from the old family comes, there’s a place to stay. When we’re free, we can also stay over for a night or two."
She’s still the best wife.
But, are you sure your wife isn’t just procrastinating?
