Comrade: Almost a Cat-astrophic Love Story

Nothing was ever a constant, and that was often the cruel reality.

Sometimes the more one tried to hide something, the faster it would be exposed.

Although Pei Zhen wasn’t slow to delete the post, the netizens were quicker. Not to mention the titillating morning photo of Pei Zhen, even Fu Sichen’s demand of ‘Delete this’ had all been screen-shot.

Hence, once Pei Zhen had deleted the post, the ‘morning photo’ had become all the more valuable a commodity, with people pleading for a copy online. Everyone knew about it.

When Fu Sichen realized that, he was furious.

While he was furious, he did keep a copy of the photo. He had even taken in the comments of Pei Zhen being henpecked with great pleasure, and only after doing that did he make the call to Pei Zhen.

Pei Zhen just had his meal.

It was a sumptuous seafood meal, and he was satisfied. He was in an even better mood when Fu Sichen called and shouted ‘Boyfriend’ the moment he picked up the phone.

The great manager Xiao was playing an online game, and there was a violent battle happening on the screen. He and his wife were defending with their lives, and it was in the midst of this that he heard Pei Zhen shout. In his shock, the jerking movement of his hand almost cost him his life on the screen.

“Boyfriend?!”

Pei Zhen was fully focused on Fu Sichen and didn’t bother to explain. He glanced at Xiao Nian, turned, and walked towards his bedroom.

Feeling that something was awfully wrong, Xiao Nian was determined to get to the bottom of things. His wife, meanwhile, was repeatedly calling for him in the game. “Hubby, come out quickly. My hand is going into spasm.”

“Coming, coming in a bit, darling, give me a moment,” Xiao Nian replied.

The experienced great manager Xiao had just missed the perfect chance to discover his artist’s blooming romance! He had no idea that Pei Zhen was in the bedroom laughing like a love-struck fool.

Pei Zhen had unconsciously, and quite naturally, headed for the privacy of his bedroom.

The voice on the other end of the line was raspy and tender. “Have you eaten?”

“Yes, eaten.” Pei Zhen thought for a while, and said, “It was a feast on seafood, at Dong Cheng. We can go there the next time.”

“Are you buying?” Fu Sichen said with a deep laugh.

Pei Zhen snorted and said proudly, “Of course, all you can eat. I’ll reserve the whole seafood restaurant just for you.”

Fu Sichen realized that his young boyfriend must not have seen the comments on Weibo; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so full of himself.

He raised an eyebrow and didn’t want to deflate his boyfriend’s ego. Changing the topic, he said, “For tonight, let’s stay home. I’ll cook.”

Fu Sichen guessed that Pei Zhen’s mother would be cooking up Pei Zhen’s favorite seafood dishes too.

That being the case though, Pei Zhen’s mother wasn’t a very good cook.

He wondered how he could keep his future mother-in-law looking good while ensuring Pei Zhen didn’t starve.

Fu Sichen had contacted Wang Youquan to buy some fish to cook up and stored them in a thermal container. If they got hungry in the middle of the night, they could have supper.

“Go home?” Pei Zhen froze as he recalled what happened the night before. His face turned pale, and he stopped smiling. “T-to your place? To do what? These days, having two men alone in the house wouldn’t be a good thing.”

Fu Sichen had wanted to take Pei Zhen back to their old neighborhood, but he understood his young boyfriend had been frightened by what happened the night before. Fu Sichen felt regretful and, for the moment, could only be patient. “I was going to take you back to our old neighborhood. It’s been a long time since we went back.”

What! Pei Zhen was aghast. It wasn’t enough that Fu Sichen was trying to top him at the hotel, but he was going to try topping him in their childhood home!!!
