Shen Chuan rarely saw anger on their faces.
He moved among the crowd, feeling their joys and sorrows, and enjoying the peace and tranquility in the midst of noise.
Soon, it was eleven o'clock and then past eleven o'clock.
Chen Chuan looked at his phone, but Xiao Ming's message still hadn't come.
When half past eleven arrived, he returned to the vicinity of the restaurant, and this time he saw Xiao Ming mopping the floor.
After a while, the head chef who had scolded him earlier picked up his mobile phone and operated it for a while, and seemed to encourage him a few words. Xiao Ming wiped his hands on his clothes, took out his mobile phone again and looked at it with a smile on his face.
Chen Chuan guessed that today's money had arrived.
Five minutes later, Xiao Ming finally sent a message.
[Boss Shen, you haven't left yet? I'm off work. Come to my place and I'll take you out for some fun!]
Chen Chuan looked at the message and replied with a faint smile.
[Wait for me at the door. I'll be there in ten minutes.]
【OK! 】
Chen Chuan lit another cigarette and stood there smoking silently.
About ten minutes passed before he slowly walked to the main entrance of the restaurant. Then he pretended to be angry and said, "Fuck, you made me wait until you got off work at ten o'clock. Look at the time now, it's almost twelve o'clock."
A hint of bitterness flashed in Xiao Ming's eyes, but he said nonchalantly, "What can I do? This restaurant is inseparable from me. Come on, come on, I said I'd treat you to a health check, so I'll treat you to a health check."
"No, I'm sleepy this late. How about this, let's go have some barbecue together, and then go back to our respective homes and find our respective mothers. You look like you have to go to work tomorrow morning, so don't delay your work."
Chen Chuan decided to save him some money. After working hard all day, he only earned about 300 yuan. If he went to a health center, it would cost at least 800 yuan for two people.
"That won't do. How could I be such a mean person who breaks my promise? Just come with me and everything will be fine."
"Forget it, just go eat barbecue. I'm starving."
After a lot of arguing, Xiao Ming finally couldn't resist Chen Chuan and agreed to go for barbecue.
The two of them chose a relatively famous barbecue restaurant nearby and ordered barbecue worth more than 100 yuan. Considering that they had to drive, they did not drink any alcohol.
While eating barbecue, Shen Chuan found that Xiao Ming's phone kept ringing, but he didn't answer it and didn't explain.
But after that, he was clearly a little distracted.
At about one o'clock, after finishing the barbecue, the two left the barbecue restaurant. Xiao Ming said goodbye in a hurry and rode away on his electric bike.
Chen Chuan shook his head. The person who had been sending him messages just now should be his wife. It was really unique that she stayed up so late waiting for her husband to come home.
Chen Chuan returned to the car and drove home.
On the other side, about fifteen minutes later, Xiao Ming hurried back home. He opened the door carefully and tiptoed like a thief to wash up. But as soon as he entered the living room, he saw someone sitting on the sofa. It was his wife Wang Li.
His pupils twitched suddenly, and he forced a smile and said, "Wife, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"You still remember to come back, tell me! Where did you go to fool around? Why don't you come home so late? Did you go to find a woman?"
"How could I do such a thing? I didn't get off work until around 12 o'clock today, and I had dinner with a friend I hadn't seen in a while."
As Xiao Ming spoke, he walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down. He reached out to hold Wang Li's hand.
"Get away! Who told you to touch me? Don't you know you stink?"
"Can you be more mature? Why don't you send me a message in advance when you come home so late? Don't you know I'm waiting?"
Listening to Wang Li venting her anger like a storm, Xiao Ming fell silent.
She scolded me for four or five minutes, and finally said angrily, "What's wrong? Are you dumb? I asked you a question and you don't know the answer?"
Xiao Ming forced a smile and said, "Wife, I'm wrong, but you have nothing to do at home anyway, so you can rest early."
"Now you're disgusted with me for not working at home, right? That's not what you said when you married me."
"Think about what you said. Is there any truth in it?"
"I was really blind to marry you."
"Look at you, how much can you earn after working yourself to death all day? My best friend's boyfriend easily makes 30,000 or 40,000 yuan a month!"
Xiao Ming looked at Wang Li's face and suddenly felt very tired.
"She's enjoying herself so much now, traveling all the time. What about me? Am I any worse than her? Why should I just stay at home?"
"You are such a useless man!"
"If you had worked harder and made more money, I wouldn't have to live this hard life!"
Xiao Ming did not argue, but stood up silently and walked towards the bathroom.
Behind him, Wang Li was still not satisfied and continued to attack Xiao Ming with words.
Click.
The toilet door was closed, and Xiao Ming leaned against the door with empty eyes, silent for a long time.
