Life After Marriage

A Kept Man

A certain Ying suspected: A man who has different women staying overnight frequently, if he wasn't a player then what?

How should I describe this new neighbor, this man?

Tall, slightly pale, wearing an oversized hoodie, sweatpants, worned-out sandals, semi-long messy hair, bangs that covered his eyes, a high nose bridge, lips slightly fuller than Han Lei's, with a little stubble on his chin.

En, I could only say that he was a work of art or he could be an artist himself.

Unlike us, compared to playing with art, it's more like we're being played by art.

That man was standing in the center of his living room and just so happened to meet my line of sight. He was dazed for a bit and then nodded at me with a friendly smile. As courtesy, I also nodded and just when I was about to smile, something obscured my sight. I puzzledly looked before me. It turned out that unawarely, Han Lei who was behind me had walked up to my side. I only saw the back of his head nodding to the person inside with an expression I couldn't see.

Next, Han Lei no longer gave me any chance to peer at that man. He pulled me and directly walked past the door.

Perhaps it was because the sound of the movers were somewhat loud, He Yi and Liu Jing who left the company way before us also opened their doors to look.

I quickly walked toward Liu Jing and intimately pulled her in. We watched the entering and exiting from that front door and I whispered near her ear, "Do you know the details of the new neighbor and have insider information?"

Liu Jing also cooperated with me and whispered, "I totally don't know anything and have never seen him before. He suddenly moved in this afternoon and the movers were constantly busy even until now."

Liu Jing also cooperated with me and whispered, "I totally don't know anything and have never seen him before. He suddenly moved in this afternoon and the movers were constantly busy even until now."

At this side, Liu Jing and I gathered together to guess the age, occupation of the new male resident and whether he had a girlfriend and so on. On that side, Han Lei also unexpectedly convened with He Yi, their shoulders touching each other. Their backs were to us and were also seemingly "gossiping" but it's just that their side profiles occasionally showed perplexion and baffleness.

Could it be that they were also interested in the new resident?

It seemed like, it wasn't just women who were interested in men nowadays.

At night, I was lying on my bed thinking about a man besides Han Lei for the Nth time.

In actuality, the men that I thought about weren't many because all the men that I knew were just those few. It could even be said that all of them could be counted with my ten fingers.

Now, let's count the men that I have thought about since marrying Han Lei. The first ever man in my life and was also the most important, furthermore it could be said that without this man then there wouldn't be me — my dad. The reason why I thought about him was simply because I wondered whether he was taking care of himself well since "leaving home" and if he was successful in seducing my mom. Then there's Qin Hao because I had viewed this guy as my rival for a long period of time. I didn't want to think about how he would seduce Han Lei even if his seduction was a failure. Next it's Qin Yang and Gao Fan Yu, only because of their bald head and afro. Another one was Lin Zhe, my first love that appeared after my marriage. As it was my first love, when I reminiscenced that year's pure relationship, I couldn't help but thought about him as well. After that it's He Yi, let's not say anything else, he was a handsome young man. Was it possible that I, who liked to appreciate handsome men would let go of one that's beside me? After all, when one thought about beautiful people or things, it was easier to fall asleep. There was also Father-In-Law, especially that night when he was tied up by Mother-In-Law. Then it's Ouyang Shuai, thinking of how to "exchange blows" with him. Then, there was also Grandpa Han. His amusing coquettish expressions, very funny and formidable. Now, there was that new neighbor who I temporarily viewed as a man of mystery, thinking of what type of person he was.
