'Til death do us part

Chapter 6

Seeing the door open Zhi Gang quickly jumped off the couch and just stood there, surprised to see Bo Xiang home that evening. “What’s wrong with you?” Bo Xiang asked.

“Well I didn’t expect you home at this time” Zhi Gang responded to him as he slightly moved aside to let him pass. Bo Xiang went to drop his bag in the bedroom and made his way back into the living room,

“Do I have a specific time as to when I should be here?” He asked as he put the lunch box bag on top of the kitchen counter. Zhi Gang shook his head as a response to him, “Then that means I don’t have a curfew right?” he asked only to receive a nod as a respond.

“Besides, this is also my house so I can come and go as I please” Bo Xiang said as he took out the lunch box to heat it in the micro oven. Zhi Gang saw him and walked towards the kitchen counter, “There is no use to keep on buying take-aways or eating from the cafeteria when you know you’ll come home early to finding me doing nothing. I would’ve cooked food for you if you would’ve texted me”

“I didn’t want to disturb you, beside I didn’t buy this, some girl brought it for me at work and Wen Jie also bought me lunch” He said to Zhi Gang, but Zhi Gang’s brain stopped functioning the moment Bo Xiang mentioned that a girl brought him lunch,

“A girl he said? What girl? Who could it be? He doesn’t have any female friends and he’s not that close to Mei Fang. Why would a random girl bring him food at work?” he thought to himself,

“A girl you say, do I know her?” Zhi Gang asked, more like prying for information about this mysteriou girl, Bo Xiang looked at him and shook his head, “I doubt it, she is my secretary’s little sister”

“What the fuck? Since when does your secretary have a sister? I hope you are not lying to me Bo Xiang”

“Sister? Hui-Feng has a sister?” he surprisingly asked.

“I also didn’t know until a few days back,” Bo Xiang replied as he took the food and went to sit on the couch, Zhi Gang followed him like a puppy craving his food. Sitting next to his husband, Zhi Gang asked in curiosity, “So… why did she bring you guys’ food? Is she working in catering?”

“She only brought me food,” Bo Xiang’s answer shattered Zhi Gang’s heart,“you and you only? You don’t
know her but she brought you food? And you accepted? Who is this girl and why did she bring you food?”
he thought to himself

“Why you only and not other people?”
Bo Xiang looked at him with food still stuffed in his mouth, he saw the curious look on Zhi Gang’s face and wanted to burst out with laughter as he realized that his husband was jealous.

For a moment it felt good to see the look on Zhi Gang’s face and he even forgot that they were fighting at that moment but he quickly looked down and didn’t respond to the question asked.

There was an awkward silent between the two as the other one was eating and the other one was, well
busy looking at his husband eating while cursing him in his mind;

“Who is that fucking girl Sun Bo Xiang and why aren’t you telling me why she brought you food? I hope you are not lying to me, I really hope she is Hui-Feng’s little sister or else I will cut your fucking balls and bury them deep where-”

Bo Xiang turned to look at him and he stopped thinking to himself to let out a smile not wanting him to realize that he was busy cursing him,

"You can’t find them or squash them hard to a point whereby you fail to recognize them” he added to his thoughts when Bo Xiang turned away.
