Chapter 35: Call Me Hubby (1/2)

Translator: Soldier

He Zheng spent most of the night mulling over the matter of Qingwei Sect. In the morning, he was woken up by a full bladder.

Due to sleepiness and an unclear mind, he forgot that he had moved in with another man. When he opened the door, he was greeted with Li Zong, who happened to be heading for the doorway to get the newspaper and was merely a step away.

What made the occasion embarrassing was that He Zheng was used to sleeping in the nude. Added to this the fact that a man tended to have an erection in the morning, and Li Zong got his first glimpse of that thing between He Zheng's legs.

Li Zong's eyes swept from He Zheng's neck straight downward to his private parts, and then he commented, ”You're in good shape.” He Zheng swore that he detected a tone of ridicule!

He Zheng was a gay after all, and Li Zong was just his type. Beneath this kind of gaze, He Zheng involuntarily became more aroused.

Embarrassment was a rare feeling for He Zheng, but he was a status-conscious man who always tried to save face however awkward the situation was, so he first affected a calmness he didn't feel, then said ”Good morning”, and then quickly held his private parts and slammed the door shut.

What he didn't know was that the next moment, Li Zong curved the corners of his mouth in a faint smile.

As if somewhat satisfied, Li Zong squinted his eyes and went out to buy breakfast, which turned out to be soy-bean milk and deep-fried dough sticks.

He Zheng was rather displeased to see the golden deep-fried dough sticks and the milky white soy-bean milk. To make things worse, the man sitting opposite him happened to be the one who had brought him into a bad mood from the very beginning. He unhappily took a few bites and then stood up to go to the bathroom.

Halfway to the bathroom, his cellphone rang.

The number displayed on the phone screen was not on his contact list, but it was pretty familiar to He Zheng. It was Qiao Peiyu's number.

He Zheng rejected the call without a second thought.

A text message came in immediately, reading, ”How dare you reject my call!”

He Zheng casually added her number to blacklist.

After a minute, He Zheng's cellphone rang again. This time there was a name on the screen. The caller was his old man.

There was manifest subdued anger in He Changchun's voice. ”He Zheng, why did you reject your aunt's call? Did you ever listen to me when I taught you how to be polite?”

He Zheng picked his ear and looked into the mirror. His face was still white-skinned, delicate and good-looking. It was just that there were some dark circles. He Zheng stroked his face like an narcissist. 'I'm so handsome!' he thought. Then he leisurely replied to his old man, ”State what you want or I'll hang up right now.”

He Changchun was badly angered by his tone. ”Bring Li Zong here to dine with us tonight!”
