A few hours later, Tong Lei turned over.
After a while, he finally slowly opened one eye.
He squinted at the time on his phone, and just one glance made him perk up.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the high-speed train he was going to take home was at 2:30, so he missed it completely.
Tong Lei threw his phone aside, slowly got up from the bed, was in a daze for a while, then got up and went to the bathroom. After another hour or so, he thought about taking the food out of the pot and eating it.
In the hot summer, there is still some heat in the pot in the morning, but there is nothing left by the afternoon.
Tong Lei didn't mind the coldness of the food and started eating it in big mouthfuls. He hadn't eaten for more than ten hours and was extremely hungry.
Thinking it’s too late to go back today, I might as well leave tomorrow.
Tong Lei's parents both live in a small county town. There are many high-speed trains leading to the small county town, with one running almost every one or two hours.
But Tong Lei's parents live in the town, and buses to the town are not always available. The 2:30 high-speed train is just in time, and the rest have to stay overnight in the city.
Since he couldn't go home today, he started thinking about going out for drinks in the evening. Unfortunately, after calling around, he found out that none of his friends had time today.
Tong Lei browsed his phone for a while, and it was soon six o'clock.
Tong Lei’s wife, Sun Qianxue, gets off work at 5:30. She used to be home at 6:00, but today she hasn’t come back until after 6:00.
Although he was a little confused, he didn't take it seriously. Maybe his wife knew he was not at home at night and went out to play with her sisters.
Tong Lei didn't even call his wife and just stayed at home alone.
It was past seven o'clock and it was dark. He was alone at home and too lazy to turn on the lights, so he played with his mobile phone in the living room in the dark, and then went to the kitchen to smoke a cigarette after a while.
The fire flickered in the dark kitchen.
At this moment, there was a sound of a key turning in the door.
Tong Lei heard the sound and knew that his wife had returned, so he stuck his head out of the kitchen.
It was indeed Sun Qianxue who came in, but it was not just Sun Qianxue, there was also a short man following behind her.
Tong Lei didn't say anything, and the two men didn't turn on the lights after they came in.
With the help of the lights in the community outside, although Tong Lei couldn't see it very clearly, he could definitely see most of it.
Sun Qianxue put the key on the shoe cabinet next to her, took off her shoes, and said to the man behind her, "Okay, Brother Yao, I'm home. Thank you for sending me back."
Tong Lei assured that his wife had used this tone when talking to him when they first started dating. Thinking of this, his heart sank.
The man called Brother Yao looked around and asked, "Where's your husband? He's not home?"
Sun Qianxue put her bag aside and said, "Didn't I tell you that my husband went back to my mother-in-law's house today and won't be back for a few days!"
When Brother Yao heard this, his eyes lit up and he chuckled, "I came all the way here to bring you back, shouldn't you buy me a drink of water?"
As he spoke, he reached out to Sun Qianxue and touched her arm.
Sun Qianxue snorted, "You've had all kinds of water, and you're so curious about drinking my water?"
This snort made Brother Yao angry. "Other people's water is not as good as the one you pour, don't you think?"
They were all adults, so how could he not understand what Sun Qianxue meant? Knowing that her husband was not at home, he suddenly became bolder and grabbed that tender little hand and started rubbing it.
"Hey, Brother Yao, what are you doing? Why are you touching my hand? Hey, let go quickly. It's not good for others to see you like this."
Sun Qianxue's voice was like being soaked in honey, so sticky that it made people feel itchy in their hearts.
Brother Yao was attracted by her little movement, and his breathing became heavier. He felt that his legs and feet had no strength left, and it seemed that he could not walk out.
He took off his shoes, and the two of them fell onto the sofa, pulling each other.
At this time, Tong Lei in the kitchen felt a surge of anger rushing to his head. He extinguished the cigarette in his hand, grabbed a kitchen knife from the chopping board and walked out.
Tong Lei didn't make a sound. With the help of the lights in the community, he saw the two people on the sofa half-pushing each other. He snorted coldly and chopped at the man's head.
"Bang"
The sound of the knife hitting the skull could be clearly heard.
"ah--"
The man's scream broke through the sky.
What followed was a panic of dodging.
Tong Lei's second knife was originally intended to chop at the back of the man's neck, but he dodged it, and the knife didn't hit the neck but the shoulder instead.
"ah--"
Brother Yao was stabbed twice and was almost scared silly. He felt something liquid flowing down his forehead, but at this moment he had no time to look at it. There was only one thought in his mind, that is, to run quickly to survive.
Sun Qianxue was still a little confused, but she came to her senses instantly.
In the dim light, she immediately saw Tong Lei standing next to her, staring at the two of them.
"Husband—husband, listen to me!"
"Leizi, listen to my explanation——"
Sun Qianxue didn't care about anything at this moment. When she saw the sharp knife light under the moonlight, she was so scared that she couldn't speak.
She panicked and tried to pull Tong Lei's arm to explain something, but Tong Lei completely ignored her and just chased after the bastard and hacked at him.
Sun Qianxue's legs went weak, but she knew in her heart that if she didn't stop Tong Lei, Brother Yao would definitely die if he continued to chop her like that.
If something happened to Brother Yao, Tong Lei would be finished, and she would be even more finished.
Sun Qianxue could only throw herself at Tong Lei's feet, hugged his thighs tightly, and refused to let go.
"Husband, husband, don't, husband—"
