Ex-Husband’s Call

Chapter 34

Views:

Tong Qiu went to the station early the next morning with a ulterior motive. He thought he would arrive before Huo Zhixing, but he didn't expect that he would receive a call from the other party as soon as he got off the subway.

Everyone bought breakfast for the two of them.

"You sure haven't eaten?" Seeing Tong Qiu coming, Huo Zhixing found an empty seat in the waiting room, and then gave him the paper bag containing porridge and sandwiches, "Eat something first."

Tong Qiu took the breakfast but was not in a hurry to eat it, and turned to look at Huo Zhixing's face.

Although the two of them kept calling and sending messages this week, they didn't see each other very often. The main reason was that Huo Zhixing was too busy to come to Tong Qiu. The two of them were looking forward to the May Day holiday like a cowherd and a weaver girl.

"Take off the mask and show me."

Huo Zhixing specially wore a mask when he went out, otherwise it would be too unsightly to walk outside with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

"It's actually much better." Huo Zhixing took off his mask, and Tong Qiu frowned.

"Why is it still like this for a week? Have you taken your medicine? Did you go to the hospital again?" Tong Qiu's brows were frowned, and it was obvious that she was really hurt.

It is said that a friend in adversity sees the truth, it is true, Huo Zhixing suffered such two sticks, but it frightened Tong Qiu, but Teacher Tong's concern can only soothe the soul of Police Officer Huo, the physical injury is really not that good quick.

A week passed, although Huo Zhixing's face was not so swollen and not so scary, but he still failed to return to his former handsome face. Although Tong Qiu felt it was a pity, he was more worried. He was afraid that Huo Zhixing would really be beaten and stay behind. What sequelae.

"Are your eyes okay?"

"It's all right. I didn't hit the eye again."

"Isn't that almost hitting the corner of my eye! Is it a headache?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"Let me see your nose."

Huo Zhixing smiled: "It's really fine, I guess it will be better in a week."

Tong Qiu couldn't be at ease anyway, whether it's good or not, let's talk about it separately, what should I do in the future if I really get hit by that stick and do something wrong

"Be more careful when you go to work in the future, don't take your body seriously." The two sat there chatting casually, and when it was time to check the tickets, Tong Qiu had finished his breakfast.

After queuing up to enter the station, Tong Qiu lightly squeezed Huo Zhixing's right shoulder: "Where is this place? There is an old Chinese doctor massager near my grandfather's house, why don't you go back this time and give you a massage?"

Compared with the face, the shoulders are indeed more serious.

Originally, Huo Zhixing's right shoulder was injured. Recently, after being hit by a stick, his right hand would shake when holding things.

"I don't think you need an old Chinese doctor, just you, you are much better than a doctor."

Tong Qiu laughed at him for being unscrupulous, glared at him, stepped forward quickly, and entered the station after the ticket check.

Seeing him like this, Huo Zhixing laughed, sometimes Tong Qiu was like an awkward child, how could he look like a teacher in his thirties, so cute, Huo Zhixing wanted to hug him and kiss him.

"By the way," Huo Zhixing caught up with him, "I haven't had time to ask recently, is the matter at your school resolved?"

"Well." Speaking of this, Tong Qiu still had lingering fears, "There is a lawsuit, and Xiao Keran's father sued the school."

"...Isn't the school irresponsible for your situation?"

"That's right, but he insisted that the school should take full responsibility. Originally, the headmaster said to give some compensation, but he refused to kill less than five million."

"Okay, this is using my daughter's life as a tool to make money." Huo Zhixing sneered, "That's good, I won't get any money through judicial procedures."

Tong Qiu still feels very uncomfortable when he thinks of Xiao Keran. He wants to know how Xiao Keran would feel if he knew that her father used her to blackmail the school after he died.

"Is the student in the hospital all right?"

"I've gone back to school, but I'm seeing a psychiatrist." Speaking of this, Tong Qiu felt unhappy.

When he was still living at his parents’ house, he had to take the subway to work. Once, during the morning rush hour, someone committed suicide by lying on the rails, which caused the subway to be temporarily suspended. Find a place to die quietly alone, don't drag everyone into bad luck.

This sounds really unsympathetic and indifferent, but it is not completely unreasonable.

Xiao Keran is very pitiful, it's a pity, but the passing student who was almost hit by her is even more innocent. Unexpected disaster happened, Tong Qiu thought, maybe, the shadow of this incident will hang over that student for the rest of his life.

Seeing Tong Qiu frowning in a daze, Huo Zhixing took his hand and squeezed it hard.

"It will pass." Huo Zhixing said, "Teacher Tong must be optimistic."

Tong Qiu smiled: "Teacher Tong is very optimistic, and I plan to travel around the world after the students' college entrance examinations are over."

"Around the world?"

"Okay, just kidding." Tong Qiu said, "I can't travel around without money, but..."

Tong Qiu didn't continue talking, the two found their seats with their tickets, and fell asleep not long after sitting down.

During the three-hour drive, Tong Qiu leaned against Huo Zhixing and slept soundly, with his lips slightly parted and his chest rising and falling steadily. Huo Zhixing, who had woken up in the second half of the drive, occasionally looked at him, feeling satisfied.

The two had known each other for almost two years, and it was the first time they traveled together, which was strange.

Huo Zhixing thought of the honeymoon he owed him all the time, and wondered if he would have a chance to make up for it.

When he was about to get out of the car, Huo Zhixing woke him up in advance, Tong Qiu sleepily grabbed the hand that was patting him, and muttered, "Are you there?"

"Hurry up." Huo Zhixing was happy to let him pull, "Spirituality, I'll get out of the car later."

It took Tong Qiu half a minute to wake up, and he didn't let go of his hand during this time, but when he was fully awake, he immediately released Huo Zhixing as if he was electrocuted, pretending that nothing happened just now, but his ears were already red.

Huo Zhixing finally understood that Tong Qiu liked more crooked people when he was half asleep than when he was drunk.

"This is my first time here." Huo Zhixing said, "Is there anything delicious and fun?"

"The delicious food is too spicy. You can't eat it now." Tong Qiu leaned on the window and looked outside. The train was about to enter the station. At this moment, he happened to pass by a small park in the suburbs. "This park was built when I was young. My elementary school went to school here, and the school organized us to play here as soon as it was Children's Day."

"Is it fun?" Huo Zhixing recalled, he didn't go to the park much when he was a child.

"What fun can there be in a park in a small place? But haunted houses and roller coasters were quite new back then, and I don't know what it looks like now."

"If you have nothing to do in the past two days, you can come here." Huo Zhixing said, "The haunted house sounds good."

Tong Qiu turned to look at him, and smiled wickedly: "Want to go?"

"curious."

"Okay, Teacher Tong will take you to Children's Day in the past few days, so that you can learn a lot."

Huo Zhixing smiled: "Then thank Teacher Tong in advance."

He didn't want to gain any knowledge, but he just thought that the haunted house sounded like an excellent place to increase intimacy.

However, Officer Huo forgot that although his ex-husband looked like a coward, he was actually a master who was not afraid of ghosts. The last time the two of them watched a movie, Tong Qiu fell asleep in a daze. When the teacher entered the haunted house for the first time when he was a child, he chased and beat the staff who pretended to be ghosts because he pretended to be "excessively frightened" but was actually too excited.

Twenty years later, Mr. Tong rubbed his hands, looking forward to the visit to the haunted house.

Grandpa Tong Qiu's hometown is not too far from the provincial capital, a small city outside the fourth tier. The city is quite large but has a small population. Compared with where they live, it is very quiet and very livable.

As soon as he got off the train, Tong Qiu saw his father waiting outside, because his parents had already retired, so they came here early, and the whole family was here, waiting for these two busy people.

"Oh," Tong's father was startled when he saw Huo Zhixing, "what's the matter?"

Although Huo Zhixing wore a mask to cover most of his face, the bruises on the corners of his eyes were still there.

He turned to Tong Qiu and asked, "Did you two fight?"

Tong Qiu was crying, neither laughing nor: "When we were fighting, I attacked the police, how could I have the guts! Besides, what skill am I, can I beat him like this?"

Huo Zhixing knew that his current appearance was quite scary, so he explained embarrassingly: "Dad, I accidentally did this while performing a mission."

"Oh, it's so pitiful. It's not easy for you to be a policeman." Tong's father led them to the parking lot, "Your grandfather will feel distressed when he sees it later."

Tong Qiu and Huo Zhixing followed behind Tong's father, where they winked at each other and praised each other's acting skills.

After getting into the car, Tong Qiu and Huo Zhixing sat in the back, while Tong's father was driving, where they "bited each other's ears.

"It's quite natural for me to play your husband?" Huo Zhixing's voice was very low, even through the mask, Tong Qiu still felt that the other person's breath was in his ears, itching.

Tong Qiu glanced at him with a smile: "It's okay."

Huo Zhixing smiled, and whispered close to his ear: "I should charge you for the performance."

"Officer Huo, make an offer."

Huo Zhixing pretended to be contemplative, and said after a while, "You should just pay yourself, we both have a make-up exam."

Tong Qiu remembered the lubricants and condoms he had prepared in his bag, and his face was so red that it was smoking. Fortunately, Tong's father who was driving ahead suddenly spoke up and relieved him.

"There are two boxes of fruit I just bought in the trunk. You two want to move them up when you get off the car later."

"Okay, but, Dad, I thought the old man would come to pick us up in person." Tong Qiu took out the gifts they had prepared from his backpack and handed them to Huo Zhixing, talking nonsense with his father, "He really is I don’t pay attention to my grandson at all, and I’m angry.”

"Are you angry? You can calm down a little bit. Your grandfather was still angry just now. You two should coax the old man well when you go back later."

"What's the matter? Who is so annoying to mess with our old birthday boy?"

Tong's father glanced at the two of them from the rearview mirror and said, "In the morning, the old man in the neighbor's arms hugged his great-grandson to show off to him, saying that four generations live under the same roof, do you understand?"

Understood.

Tong Qiu and Huo Zhixing looked at each other, they really had no choice in this matter, neither of them had a uterus, so they couldn't conceive.

The author has something to say: Tong Qiu, after all, this is not a text about birth.
