"Because when I went downstairs to get something, I was bumped into by my wife who got off work early. If I don't make the things disappear immediately, I will be treated like that. That's what my wife said at the time."

"My wife insists on making me choose between the game console and herself. How can I give up? But think about it, I can't give up my life just to play a few survival games!"

Under the dim streetlight like a half-moon scar, Zheng Yucheng looked desperately at the window of his home, and then closed his eyes as if he couldn't bear to witness it. In his eyes that kept turning, he gradually condensed scenes that were even more spectacular than those doomsday scenes in movies.

"What should I do? That monster is already at home. She will quickly hold my hand down later and ask me to explain why I came home late. Just by trying to prevaricate her, there will be no room to breathe, not to mention...

Yucheng looked at the bright window, and then at the baby holding tightly to his chest. With a "bang" sound, his head was hit by a sugar-roasted chestnut without warning, and then the twisted face of his wife Li Chengmei that screamed "You are dead" once again turned in his eyes like a vicious circle. stop.

"Isn't it just a game? As for going online like this?! Did you know that in my team, there are also branch president Cui Inhyuk and his nephew? Do you understand what this means?! Really, the hair is long The short-sightedness is entirely the opinion of a woman!" After a magnificent, sassy and handsome declaration of freedom, Zheng Yucheng vigorously raised the game console high above the trash can at the entrance of the community.

"I'm going to die soon!" Yucheng closed his eyes in despair, and every time he lowered his hands, he was as panicked as if he was rushing to dive from a high platform.

Holding a black plastic bag filled with the smell of domestic garbage, I rushed home in a hurry. The fierce tug-of-war between the heroes in the Colosseum has basically come to an end. At this moment, Chengmei's eyes were stagnant as she shook her youngest son's bed. The bed was surrounded by debris that could never be sorted out. In front of the desk opposite the bed, the eldest daughter was lying there crying, her whole face red and swollen like a barbecued pork bun.

"I'm back!" Although his whole body was so tired and sore that he couldn't even open his eyes, Yucheng still dragged his legs and ran towards the attic.

"Where should I put it?" Panting, Yucheng rummaged through the wardrobe filled with out-of-season clothes, then poked his head at the drink cans and broken cardboard boxes stuffed in the corner, and finally he took out the black plastic bag. stuffed into toilet paper boxes. Just as he was recklessly putting tape on the carton, his wife Li Chengmei's shallow and ignorant voice stuck to the back of Yucheng's butt like a shadow.

"There's no one there just after we got home? Zheng Yucheng, please come down quickly and take your little son to take a bath!"

"You're lame? Or you're deaf! You have to force me to say it a second time, right? You're on the run, can you help yourself to some snacks! Get out of here quickly, or I'll go up and catch you!" Unable to resist Yucheng's silence, he repeated it loudly.

"Honey, I'm in the bathroom, I'll be out soon!" After repeatedly making sure that the cardboard box would not show any flaws from any angle, Yucheng turned into the bathroom with a sigh of uncontrollable joy.

1.00 am. Zheng Yucheng turned over again and stared closely at his wife's face that loved to make trouble. Suddenly, a persistent snoring sound like a crazy rhinoceros came from her nasal cavity. The situation is not good, maybe the secret has been discovered by her, but she has to bring it upon herself! In order to calm down a little, Yu Cheng licked his lips, then bit his upper and lower lips tightly while tiptoeing around.

"that?"

"Um?!"

Normally, his wife's voice would be regarded as noisy by mosquitoes being slapped on the wall at any time, but tonight Yucheng turned around eagerly, as if the side facing away from his wife was crawling with frightening bacteria. .

"Well, hubby, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Yucheng moved his lips slightly and slowly, and his closed eyelids trembled slightly. Seeing Yu Cheng forcing out a pair of trembling tears, Cheng Mei sighed narrowly, and then buried her chin to her chest.

"It's okay, I just called it casually, go to sleep!"

Out of the most primitive and instinctive fear, from the moment his ears accidentally received the sigh, a large amount of cold sweat broke out on Yucheng's back. If he looked at her one more time, his face would blush uncontrollably and his whole body would tremble unsatisfactorily. Thinking of this, Yucheng pretended to be greedy for sweet dreams again, licked his lips, and smacked his lips loudly twice. Finally, with thousands of eyes focused on him, he turned back with arrogance. body.

1.30am. Listening to his wife's increasingly intense grinding of teeth and breathing, Zheng Yucheng showed his true colors again. Suddenly, Chengmei was like a crazy beast, baring her teeth fiercely.

"Talking about dreams." With just a sideways glance, Yucheng's eyes suddenly popped out of his head. He quickly made a teapot shape with his hands and gently covered his mouth that could make a sound at any time.

"Husband, if you wake up, we..." A short and gentle sentence, but the effect is no less than that of a detonating bomb. Due to excessive fright, Yucheng's pretentiously fluffy eyes and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes began to tremble rhythmically.

"Yes, yes, wife..."

"Forget it, let's wait until daytime."

Does this mean to lure the enemy deeper? As soon as she finished speaking, Li Chengmei silently turned back as if she had finished a sudden attack.

"Huh? What's wrong? What's wrong? Wife! If you have something to say, you should say it now!" As if he knew that he was wrong, Yucheng twisted his body uneasily, and his coquettish and cute expression became more and more explicit.

Chengmei glanced at Yucheng, and then looked at the dark sky intently. When she stared at Yucheng again, she tried her best to smile, and even her tone sounded calmer.

"Your unit will have new personnel adjustments soon!"

"Well, yes." He was not allowed to have a short time to think, and his curiosity turned into wariness.

"Are you guaranteed to be promoted to the position of supervisor this time?"

"This, this..." As if he was afraid that Chengmei would cause another uproar in the two families, Zheng Yucheng, who was nervous and at a loss, could only stick out the tip of his tongue like a timid groundhog.

"Why do you act like this when I tell you something serious?! Is it okay or not! Can you give me a sweet word!"

Just Zheng Yucheng's guilty smile was beyond the scope of Li Chengmei's tolerance. She crossed her hands on her chest, turned up her nostrils and snorted, looking at Yucheng.

"Promotion should be possible, but..." Yucheng gradually gained some courage and quietly raised his head, but still did not dare to look directly at his wife.

"Even I can't give you a 100% guarantee. After all, this is all a matter under the dictatorship of the branch president Sacred Heart. How could an agent like me know about it..." Seeing Chengmei's unbearable anger, Yucheng said I was also making calculations in my mind that I couldn't figure out.

"But don't worry, I've done all the preliminary preparations. The branch manager actually likes me. Oh! By the way, wife, after thinking about it briefly, it seems that we haven't had the side dishes made by my mother-in-law for a while. Let's have lunch. When I saw Ming Yao and the others with their love bento boxes, I suddenly thought of the mustard octopus that my mother-in-law is best at."

Just like he didn't dare to speak under Chengmei's coercion, Yucheng's voice was soft and trembling.

"Both she and Cheng Yan are okay. If you can get off work early this weekend, I'll go back with you and have a look." Yucheng's voice crawled like an earthworm, but for some reason, his wife Cheng Mei His face turned red from holding back, and his breathing gradually became tight.

"All I have to do is eat and sleep! I have lived almost half of my life in vain! Huh! I am so blind that I have been giving a useless piece of wood to a wooden frame for so long!" Chengmei tutted at Yucheng with a ferocious face. Then he angrily grabbed the entire quilt.

"Oh, it seems that I ate something bad at noon. I have been feeling upset all day and can't stop it now."

When he thought that if he continued to stay here, he would fall into a quagmire that was a hundred times more terrible than being despised, Yu Cheng rolled his eyes, then dragged his legs that were numb from the cold and staggered out of the room.

After a very short silence, Chengmei sat silently in the desolate moonlight. Just looking at the wires swaying on the window, she felt that her eyes were red, her lips were split, and her thoughts were flooding.

"Wow! The new series is different. The visual effects are really cool!" Looking at the exciting pictures thrown up on the screen like a riddle, Yucheng immediately forgot about his situation.

"I'm about to be crushed, my friend, why did you come here!" As if in a semi-vacuum state, looking at the silent screen, Yucheng seemed to have heard the high-pitched sound of the equipment in the collision. . Just when he was confused by the battlefield that was always changing, his best friend Zhou Mingyao actually joined his camp.

"I knew you wouldn't leave me!"

"Did you drop it in the toilet?! If you don't come back after three counts, go to the utility room and lay the floor!"

Just as Yucheng was carelessly playing with the game controller, playing it back and forth, a voice louder than a bolt from the blue roared to his head.

"Well, let's just debug the machine today, and I'll have fun with you tomorrow."

Almost all of Yucheng's thoughts were short-circuited, but the footsteps outside the utility room seemed to be getting closer.

"Although it is indeed rude to say goodbye after just getting in touch, it is not because of you. Anyway, be careful. Maybe for a while, or maybe for this lifetime, we can only be good friends in this way. La."

There was no "ouch" sound and everything was opened. Instead, he gently and slowly opened the wardrobe filled with clothes to open a few centimeters of small gaps, and then carefully and cautiously stuffed the box in along the slowly widening gap. .
