Chapter 41: Him at the Fork in the Road

"Because when I went downstairs to pick up something, I was bumped into by my wife who left work early, and if I didn't let the thing disappear immediately, I would have to be dealt with like that, that's what my wife said at the time."

"My wife has to make me choose between the console and herself, how can I give up? But come to think of it, I can't just give up my life just to play a few survival games! ”

Under the street lamp as bleak as a half-moon scar, Zheng Yucheng looked at the window of his house in despair, and then closed his eyes as if he couldn't bear to see it. In his constantly churning eyes, he gradually condensed scenes that were more spectacular than the apocalyptic scenes in the movie.

"What to do? The monster was already at home. Wait a minute, she will definitely hold my hand quickly, let me explain the reason for the late return, just prevaricating her, there is no room for respite, not to mention...

Yu Cheng looked at the bright window, and then at the baby hugged tightly on his chest. With a "bang", his head ate a sugar-fried chestnut without warning, and then his wife Li Chengmei's distorted face shouting "You are dead" turned in his eyes like a vicious circle again.

"Isn't it just a game? As for going online like this?! Do you know that in my team, there is also President Choi In-hyuk and his own nephew, do you understand what this means?! Really, the hair is long and the knowledge is short, it is completely a woman's opinion! After a magnificent, sassy and handsome declaration of freedom, Zheng Yucheng vigorously held the game console high above the trash can at the entrance of the community.

"It's not long before you die!" Yu Cheng closed his eyes in despair, and every time he lowered his hands, he was as flustered as if he was running to a high platform to dive.

Holding a black plastic bag full of the smell of household garbage, he hurried home. The fierce tug-of-war between the heroes in the Colosseum has basically come to an end, and at this moment Seung-mi is shaking her youngest son's bed with a stagnant gaze, surrounded by debris that can never be finished. In front of the desk across from the bed, the eldest daughter was 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, Yu Cheng still dragged his legs and ran all the way to the attic.

"Where should I put it?" Yu Cheng panted and rummaged through the closet full of out-of-season clothes, poked his head into the beverage cans and broken cardboard boxes that filled the corners, and finally he finally stuffed the black plastic bag into the toilet cardboard box. Just as he recklessly put tape on the cardboard box, the shallow and ignorant voice of his wife Lee Seung-mi stuck to the back of Yucheng's ass like a shadow.

"I didn't have a figure when I got home? Zheng Yucheng, hurry down and take your youngest son to take a bath! ”

"Lame? Still deaf! I'm going to have to force me to say it a second time. The people who are running four, can you serve snacks by yourself! Get out of here, or I'll go up and get you!" The guy couldn't stand Yu Cheng's silence and repeated it loudly.

"Wife, I'm in the bathroom, I'll be out soon!" After repeatedly making sure that the cardboard box would not be flawed from any angle, Yu Cheng really turned into the bathroom with a sigh of joy that he couldn't hold.

1.00 a.m. Zheng Yucheng turned over again and stared firmly at his wife's most troublesome face. Suddenly, from her nose came a long-lasting snoring sound like a mad rhinoceros. The situation is not good, could it be that the secret was discovered by her, but she can't help but confess! In order to calm his mood a little, Yu Cheng licked his lips, and then tiptoed his back while biting his upper and lower lips tightly.

"That?"

"Huh?!"

Normally, his wife's voice would be like a mosquito that could be slapped on the wall at any time, but tonight Yu Cheng turned around eagerly, as if the side with his back to his wife was crawling with terrifying germs.

"Well, husband, why haven't you slept yet?"

Yu Cheng's lips squirmed slightly and slowly, and his tightly closed eyelids trembled slightly. Looking at Yu Chengqiang squeezing out a pair of trembling teary eyes, Chengmei sighed narrowly, and then buried her chin to her chest.

"It's okay, just call casually, go to sleep!"

Out of the most primitive and instinctive fear, from the moment his ears unexpectedly received that sigh, Yu Cheng's back instantly broke out in a large cold sweat. If you look at her again, your face will definitely be irrepressibly red, and your whole body will tremble uncontrollably. Thinking of this, Yu Cheng pretended to be greedy for a sweet dream again, licked his lips, clicked his mouth twice loudly, and finally turned back with a proud face in a state of gathering thousands of eyes.

1.30 a.m. Listening to his wife's increasingly intense grinding teeth and panting, Zheng Yucheng once again showed his true colors. Suddenly, Seungmi bared her teeth ferociously like a mad beast.

"Say, dream, talk." Just squinted his eyes, Yu Cheng's eyes were about to fall out, and he hurriedly made his hands into a teapot shape, gently covering his mouth that could make a sound at any time.

"Husband, if you wake up, we..." Due to excessive fright, Yu Cheng's pretended fluffy eyes, as well as the wrinkles distributed 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 the words fell, Li Chengmei silently turned back as if she had finished a surprise attack.

"Huh? What's wrong? What's wrong? Wife! If you have something to say, you might as well say it now! As if he knew that he was wrong, Yu Cheng twisted his body uneasily, and his expression became more and more explicit.

Seungmi glanced at Yucheng, and then looked intently at the dark sky. As she gazed at Yu Cheng again, she struggled to squeeze out a smile, and even her tone sounded calmer.

"Your unit, there will be a new personnel adjustment soon!"

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

"Is there a guarantee of promotion to the position of supervisor this time?"

"This, this..." It seems that he is afraid that Chengmei will cause an uproar in the two families again, and Zheng Yucheng, who is nervous and helpless, can only stick out the tip of his tongue reluctantly like a timid groundhog.

"Why is it like this when I tell you that it's serious?! Whether it works or doesn't! Can you give me a good word! ”

Zheng Yucheng's weak smile alone was beyond the scope of Li Chengmei's tolerable authority. She crossed her hands on her chest and looked at Yucheng with her nostrils cocked and puffing.

"It should be possible to get promoted, that is..."Yu Cheng gradually gained a little courage and quietly raised his head, but he still didn't dare to look directly at his wife.

"Even I can't pat my chest with you 100% to guarantee, after all, this is all a matter of the branch president's Sacred Heart dictatorship, how can an agent of mine know..."Looking at Chengmei's unbearable anger, Yucheng's heart was also making a calculation that he couldn't figure it out.

"But don't worry, I've done all the foreshadowing in the early stage, and the branch manager actually likes me a lot. Oh! By the way, my wife, after thinking about it roughly, it seems that we haven't eaten the side dishes made by my mother-in-law for a while. During lunch, I looked at Mingyao and they were all carrying love lunches, and I suddenly thought of my mother-in-law's favorite mustard octopus. ”

Just as he didn't dare to speak under Chengmei's coercion, Yu Cheng's voice was light and trembling.

"She and Cheng Yan are okay, if you can get off work early on the weekend, I'll accompany you back to have a look." Yu Cheng's voice was like an earthworm, but for some reason, his wife Chengmei was so red that she was even breathing.

"Except to eat is to sleep! Almost half of my life is in vain! Hum! I'm so blind that I've been supplying a scrap board for so long! Chengmei smacked her lips with a hideous face, and then snatched the entire quilt angrily.

"Oops, it seems that I ate something bad at noon, and I had a stomach all day, and I can't stop it until now."

Thinking 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, and then dragged his legs, which were a little numb from the cold, and staggered out of the room.

After a brief silence, Seungmi sat silently in the bleak moonlight, her eyes reddened, her lips split, and her thoughts flowed like a fountain just by looking at the wires swaying in the window.

"Wow! The new series is just different, and the visuals are so cool! Looking at the blood-pumping pictures thrown out of the screen like a dumb riddle, Yu Cheng immediately forgot about his situation.

"I'm going to be run over, why did you come, friend!" As if in a semi-vacuum state, looking at the silent screen, Yu Cheng seemed to have heard the high-pitched sound of the equipment in the collision. Just when he was confused about the battlefield that he was not with me, his sworn friend Zhou Mingyao actually joined his camp.

"I knew you wouldn't leave me!"

"Did you fall in the toilet?! If you don't come back with three numbers, go to the utility room and lay the floor! ”

Just as Yu Cheng was playing back and forth in front of the gamepad, a voice louder than a thunderbolt on a sunny day made him dizzy.

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

Almost all of Yu Cheng's thinking was short-circuited, but the footsteps outside the utility room seemed to be getting closer and closer.

"Although, it's really rude to separate when you just get in touch, but it's not because of you, in short, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Maybe for a while, or maybe in this life, we can only be friends in this way. ”

did not open it all with a "whoosh", but gently and slowly opened the small crack of a few centimeters in the wardrobe stuffed with clothes, and then cautiously stuffed the box into the slowly expanding gap.
