Ex-Husband's CallChapter 41

Extra Ko-fi chapter!


Tong Qiu never said it, but he really enjoyed it when Huo Zhixing started acting indecent with him. tR h4z

Others weren’t allowed to do this to him, only Huo Zhixing can.

This was the legendary “If the person you liked stole a kiss, it’s sweet; but if the person you disliked stole a kiss, it’s disgusting.” He likes Huo Zhixing, so it became sweet and seductive when he did it. If it had been Fang Baicheng, it would have been called harassment.

Tong-laoshi truly was duplicitous

The duplicitous Tong-laoshi and his ex-husband strolled home hand in hand, chatting about their work. 3ne25M

“You will be given a holiday next month after the college entrance exams right?”

“We still have some work to do after the students take the exam, but it’s nothing too serious. It’s about the same as during summer vacation.”

In the past, Tong Qiu used to arrange trips for himself every winter and summer vacation. But after he married Huo Zhixing, during the year of their marriage he made no such trips. It was because his family’s Officer Huo was busy with work so Tong Qiu wanted to stay and take care of this person.

“What’s the plan?” Huo Zhixing asked.

Tong Qiu hadn’t thought about it yet: “Even if we made some plans, I would still have to wait for the results from the little rascals. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.”

Although the college entrance exams would be held at the beginning of the month, it wouldn’t be until the 20th that the results would be released.

The half month wait could be incredibly hard. Anyways, during that time Tong Qiu would basically just laze around his home: reading books and watching movies. He would only go back to school once the results were out. Often, some students would ask him out to play together but Tong Qiu always refused.

When students invited their teachers out for fun, it usually is a sign that they got along well. But Tong Qiu didn’t want to accompany them. With a teacher around, the students wouldn’t be able to go all out and would feel restrained. ezNijJ

“Well, I still owe you a honeymoon.” Huo Zhixing squeezed Tong Qiu’s hand and mischievously smirked, “Tong-laoshi, would you like to make an appointment with me?”

Tong Qiu looked at him in disgust: “Does Officer Huo even have a holiday?”

Huo Zhixing, whose sore spot was poked, dramatically covered his chest with his free hand: “That hurt.”

He leaned closer to Tong Qiu’s ear: “It’s not impossible to spend your honeymoon in bed.” aWAKi

Tong Qiu smiled and pushed the other away: “A police officer is acting like a hooligan!”

The rest of the way home was spent talking and laughing. A security guard greeted them when they arrived at Tong Qiu’s building, a flash of envy visible on his eyes when he saw Huo Zhixing’s uniform.

“Police uniforms look more domineering than security uniforms…” The little security guard lamented.

Upon further observation, he saw the two of them holding hands. jMEtDy

“Oh, Tong-laoshi…”

Tong Qiu proudly introduced the person beside him: “My ex-husband.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The policeman ex-husband escorted Tong-laoshi up to his apartment, leaving the little security guard downstairs in confusion: ex-husband? It didn’t seem like it! Who would hold hands with their ex-husband?

Tong Qiu noticed that after he and Huo Zhixing have done it, for the succeeding times they would go straight ahead to do it without shame. siMXk8

As soon as he entered the apartment, when he had just taken his shoes off Huo Zhixing immediately said, “Tong-laoshi, has the exam begun?”

He was pulled up and his hands was placed on the lapels of the police uniform.

Yo mbegrf tf kbeiv! ISTYyX

Tong-laoshi couldn’t wait.

You know, Tong-laoshi had imagined countless of times that he would be able to take off Huo Zhixing’s police uniform by himself – or simply let the other dress up and do things like this and that with him.

Later, although the two animals’ true nature has been fully revealed to the other, it was only today that Officer Huo gave Tong-laoshi such an opportunity to finally fulfil his dark desires. EkRtqH

Tong-laoshi must make the most of it.

“Is that all right?” Tong Qiu smiled shyly.

He has already started to work before even receiving a reply.

He took off the police jacket and hung it on a hanger, then placed his hands on the bottom part of the shirt. jb 9pV

The hem was pulled out of the pants, and the buttons were unbuttoned one by one. Tong Qiu buried his face in the other’s arms and took the opportunity to enjoy the moment: “Can you not take it off?”

Huo Zhixing smiled and pulled the other into the bedroom.

Proctor Tong was completely satisfied. Because there was no roving invigilator this time, the examinee managed to be outstanding enough that the proctor himself couldn’t manage to hold on for a long time. He called for the test to be suspended several times, but the examinee worked harder, and the words of the proctor were ignored.

After the exam finished, Tong-laoshi couldn’t even lift a finger. R8hJ23

He glanced at Huo Zhixing, who stood there holding unto a wet towel as he cleaned up their “mess”. He stared at the man’s uniform shirt and licked his lips.

How sexy.

Tong Qiu sighed, why is my ex-husband incredibly sexy?

After a break, they both took a shower. When they came out of the bathroom, Tong Qiu exclaimed he was hungry and Huo Zhixing went to cook noodles for him. Lwzp9m

As he was about to eat the noodles, Tong Qiu refused to admit that his bottom was still hurting, so instead he acted all flirty and sticky with the other person. In the end, a 1.8 meter tall grown man sat on another grown man’s lap like a child.

That single pack of noodles with two poached eggs were eaten in tandem by them and soon finished.

Before going to bed, Huo Zhixing suddenly felt worried and reminded him: “I hope you’ll keep this in mind. It’s useless to remind you to go home early everyday so remember to bring with you always the things that I gave you before.”

Tong Qiu knew he was talking about the pepper spray and nodded, “I will. Don’t worry about me – it’s you who worries me more.” CXnsVP

Tong Qiu has always been the kind of person who “don’t look for trouble, but when it finds me, I won’t run or hide.”

He had planned to talk to Huo Zhixing about the packages of knives he received, but the events of this night made him too comfortable enough to forget about it.

The next morning, both of them woke up late and hurriedly went to work, which made it even more impossible for Tong Qiu to talk about it.

As a result, Tong Qiu received another package that night. dLpR6c

He had kept to mind Huo Zhixing’s warning and planned to go home early, but no matter how fast he finished his work, he still had to wait for the students to finish class before he could leave.

As soon as he the bell rang for the end of the evening self-study class, Xu-laoshi next to him started to pack his things and prepared to leave, but Tong Qiu made no move. He planned to finish the last reading comprehension question first, as that was what he would talk about for his class tomorrow morning.

That was why, when Tong Qiu was finally able to leave school, it was already 10 o’clock. He waited for the bus at the school gate, but it still haven’t arrived after a while. So instead, he decided to rent a bicycle from a nearby rental service and went home with the cool evening wind accompanying him.

The college entrance exams would start in June, so Tong Qiu became particularly sensitive when summer would arrive. This year it has come much earlier, so he reminded himself to buy some ice cream for the students. fzClGM

When he neared his apartment building, Tong Qiu returned the rented bicycle at a nearby parking spot. It was only a few meters away from his building, so walked the rest of the way.

After walking for a while, Tong Qiu paused and squinted ahead.

In recent days, he always felt like someone was following him, but when he looked back, he often saw nothing but his own shadow.

Tong Qiu attributed it to him being too tired, nervous and suspicious. jbRC3g

This evening was no exception. Once again, he stopped and looked behind him. After observing the scenery for a long time, he still saw nothing worthy of suspicion. After making sure, he turned around and immediately walked home. He only felt at ease when he arrived at the building gate and saw the security room’s lights were turned on.

He has always been an atheist, and didn’t believe in the supernatural, but he thought that if things continued on like this, he would start believing in such unexplainable existences.

When he arrived at the gate, he swiped his card to open it, and the security guard on duty greeted him with a smile.

“By the way Tong-laoshi, another parcel has arrived for you.” 1PKYd6

Tong Qiu stopped and stood in doubt waiting for the security guard to bring the package. He muttered in his heart: how many knives does Fang Baicheng planned on giving him?

The little security guard gave him a small flat paper box: “It was delivered during dinner time”

“Thank you,” Tong Qiu smiled and went to his apartment carrying the package.

This time it was a kitchen knife. Ds1oxg

It was addressed to his apartment and was collected by the security guard at the gate.

Tong Qiu opened it as soon as he entered his apartment, and wasn’t able to hold back and swore when he saw the knife. He called Fang Baicheng’s number again but the service was still suspended. After deliberating about it, he called Chu Yao.

“Why are you looking for him?” Chu Yao was particularly surprised, “Have you decided to abandon all plans of remarriage with your ex-husband?”

“No, I just needed to find him.” vtrNRX

“He was sent to a branch office abroad last month,” Chu Yao said, “He wouldn’t be back for a while.”

Chu Yao and Fang Baicheng are both doctorate instructors. Tong Qiu heard about it from their supervisor.

Tong Qiu thought it was really strange, but it was not impossible for people abroad to buy stuff online and have it delivered domestically.

He didn’t tell Chu Yao about the issue. He was afraid she would needlessly worry about it so he just lied and told her some excuse. dihLnJ

After hanging up, Tong Qiu held the kitchen knife with the tip pointed up and smiled, “Okay, this kitchen knife is quite practical, Tong-laoshi shall kindly accept it.”

He sat at the sofa staring at the knife, when he suddenly felt like something was wrong.

Tong Qiu sat up, placed the knife on the coffee table, and grabbed the box it was delivered in.

The box was exactly the same as the other two packages. 2FMTdl

Tong Qiu has received three knives, two of which were sent to his home and the other at school. He took out the packaging of the previous two packages, as he hadn’t discarded the plastic coverings nor the boxes inside.

Tong Qiu checked the boxes and the plastic wraps repeatedly, and finally discovered what was wrong – the packages were not sent by courier mail at all!

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

If it was sent by courier, then there would have been all kinds of stamps marked on the shipping label, but there was none on the first two packages. It was both very clean.

People who often received deliveries knew that packages sent from other places would often look dirty – whether it was a normal delivery or special parcel, none would be spared. hNarOA

But for both times, the packages were packed as special parcels. It was obvious that the plastic bag was very new and the shipping label was very clean.

Before, Tong Qiu just focused on the sender’s information, because he never thought that it would be directly sent by someone.

No wonder the phone number written was an empty one.

Tong Qiu finally couldn’t sit still, and gave Huo Zhixing a call. WjGcVB

Huo Zhixing and Zhao Heyu had just caught a little bastard who was drugging people inside a bar. When he saw the caller was Tong Qiu, he smiled and answered his phone.

“What’s the matter? I’ll be late today.”

“Busy?” Tong Qiu asked.

“Not really,” Huo Zhixing noticed that his tone was not right, and suddenly became alert, “What’s the matter? Did something happen?” Ky78HY

“No,” Tong Qiu replied, “I just received a few strange packages, and thought I should call the police.”

Huo Zhixing stopped, and waved his hand to signal Zhao Heyu to go first.

“What package?” His tone sank.

“Knives.” Tong Qiu said, “I have received one for three days in a row and they were all delivered directly. Today was a brand new kitchen knife, which I believe can slice pork well.” He even managed to make a joke. hrVsX

“Don’t joke around.” Huo Zhixing raised his arm and looked at the time. “You wait for me at home. Don’t come out. If someone knocks, don’t open the door. Wait for me to arrive.”

Tong Qiu laughed. “Okay, you should pay attention on your way. I’m fine.”

The author has something to say:

Tong-laoshi is okay, knowing there is someone in the police he can call.

We are not abusive, so Tong-laoshi can talk to his ex-husband when something happens.

Nell’s Corner:

Since we’ve reached the goal, here’s an extra chapter! p rCGI

Finally Tong Qiu has told Huo Zhixing about the threats. Honestly I was getting worried that they would drag it out so I’m glad the author didn’t let us down hahaha! I really hate it when misunderstandings or stuff like this gets dragged out. The straight man inside me hates it with a passion – why can’t they just talk everything out???? Words were invented for this very reason.

If it wasn’t obvious I’m reading the story along as I’m translating it, which I just realized now was a big mistake because after every chapter there are lots of terms I wanna change but can’t now because I’ve already published it huhuhu.

OH WELL.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter! 6EMsHy
