Tong-laoshi finally had the time to move houses, so he wouldn’t let anything stop him – not even the rain.
God knows how long he had waited for this day.
When he returned to his apartment, Tong Qiu quickly packed up his things. What should be packed had been packed, and what should be thrown had been thrown away.
When he moved here, he had unpacked everything apart from two boxes. This time, he simply took the boxes back untouched. It was quite ridiculous honestly.
He took care and specially looked for a box where he could put all his “treasures”: thongs, porn books, GV discs, and all the shameful things.
After he finished packing, he took a break and made some noodles to eat. When the movers finally came, the rain had stopped.
Tong Qiu helped the brother from the moving company and brought some boxes downstairs. When he looked up at the sky, he actually saw a rainbow.
At the end of the college entrance exams, the children managed to smoothly finish their exams.
His solitary life finally came to an end and he returned to a familiar home.
After the rain had passed and the sky cleared, everyone was given a rainbow.
Tong Qiu took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the rainbow, sending it to Huo Zhixing along with a text: I want to play on the swing.
There was nothing much happening in the police station today, so Huo Zhixing and Zhao Heyu were just sorting out folders of data. When he received Tong Qiu’s message, a smile immediately lit up his face as he read it. Zhao Heyu noticed this and couldn’t help spitting out acid: “Shifu, can you stop smiling like that? It’s making me uncomfortable.”
Huo Zhixing glared at him: “Then you can finish this all by yourself. I’ll go see if Lao Song needs help.”
As a result, Zhao Heyu was ruthlessly left alone because of his jest. Facing the mountain-like stacks of folders, he wanted to cry but had no tears. He deeply regretted his impulsiveness.
Tong Qiu finished moving quickly and neatly. After everything was delivered, he began to diligently clean his new home.
Everything went back to its original place – from where he had taken them when he moved out, was also where he placed them back again when he returned. The room that used to look empty was full again.
After he was done, Tong Qiu went out to buy some groceries. He planned to prepare a candlelight dinner for Officer Huo tonight.
Tong-laoshi, a veteran movie fanatic who has seen all kinds of small movies, even thought up a “red wine play” script between him and Huo Zhixing when he bought a bottle. When he arrived home and started to prepare, he had already thought out what expression to wear when he would sultrily swirl the liquid in his glass, and vividly imagined the path and angle of the spilled wine from his lips to his neck as he took a sip.
It’ll be tempting.
It’ll be delicious.
Tong Qiu started feeling a bit restless from all of his imaginations.
He sent a message to Huo Zhixing: The luxurious dinner is ready, just waiting for Officer Huo to arrive home.
However, Officer Huo became too preoccupied as he fought against evil, and thus wasn’t able to reply promptly.
Concerning this, Tong Qiu reassured he was already used to it.
A few hours later, Tong Qiu glanced at the clock and noticed that it was almost approaching their arranged meeting time. Huo Zhixing should be coming back from work soon. So he took a shower, put on his most expensive thongs and wore a demure white shirt. When he was done, he looked like a goblin who was on his way to a high-end western restaurant.
He sat there by the dining table, heart pounding from nervousness as he fiddled with the candles he had lit to set the atmosphere, waiting for the other protagonist to arrive and enjoy his delicious food.
However, more than an hour had passed but Huo Zhixing has yet to arrive.

All indecent thoughts had been thrown out the window as he stared at his phone.
Tong Qiu didn’t dare give the other a call, as he was afraid that the other might be dealing with something important and he would only be a bother – or worse, might jeopardize whatever it was they were doing. So he was left with no choice but to helplessly wait.
Huo Zhixing had the morning shift, and had said earlier he would get off work at around four in the afternoon. If we factor in the commute, it was estimated that he would arrive home around five to six in the evening – but now it was already half past eight in the evening, and yet no one had arrived and his Wechat received no response.
Tong Qiu anxiously paced around the room, gruesome images starting to fill his mind.
Finally, he couldn’t bear it longer. With his phone and keys in hand, he went downstairs and left to visit the Sanhu police station. If other people saw him, he looked like a handsome young man in a white shirt leisurely strolling – what they didn’t know was that deep inside he was feeling terribly anxious.
But fortunately, before he could enter the subway entrance, he saw Huo Zhixing. The man was on his phone and walking towards where Tong Qiu stood.
Tong Qiu breathed a sigh in relief. He didn’t even have the heart to get angry at the other, he just wanted him to return safely.
Since the incident with Zou Kai happened, Tong Qiu has become paranoid. He knew it wasn’t good, but he couldn’t help it. He liked Huo Zhixing too much that he constantly worried about him.
Sometimes at night, when they both got ready for bed, the numerous scars littering Huo Zhixing’s body would enter his sight. During those moments, Tong Qiu would suddenly have thoughts about “if only he wasn’t a policeman” – but only for a brief moment, none of them lingering on his mind for more than a few seconds.
He knew that Huo Zhixing liked his career, same with how he liked being a teacher.
Besides, if Huo Zhixing hadn’t been a policeman, then they wouldn’t have gotten together in the first place.
What made him have a uniform fetish?
Something happened in the precinct, and Huo Zhixing got involved. Although he had promised Tong Qiu he’ll return early, in the end he only clocked out until late at night.
When he saw the other man waiting for him at the subway entrance, Huo Zhixing felt so guilty that he could only step forward to hug Tong Qiu and apologize softly. Tong Qiu replied: “If an apology is useful, then there wouldn’t be so many dead men.”
Receiving no reply from the other party, Tong Qiu deliberately joked: “Well, you already know what to do tonight to make up it up to me.”
Huo Zhixing finally laughed: “I understand. I will serve you until dawn.”
The steak Tong Qiu cooked earlier had gone cold, but Huo Zhixing still ate it happily.
After a busy day with hardly any time to eat, Huo Zhixing couldn’t help comment: “I’m glad you moved back.”
“Why do you say so?”
“Back when you left, I was left all alone. After work I’d feel so tired I wouldn’t even have enough strength to get a glass of water.” Huo Zhixing sounded miserable, “During those times, I couldn’t help but think when would our Tong-laoshi remarry me? I couldn’t stand such miserable days.”
Tong Qiu jested: “Ouch, we’ve been married for a long time yet in your heart I’m nothing more than someone who will bring you water and tea.”
“That’s not it,” Huo Zhixing took his hand and gave it a kiss. “You are still the little baby in my bed.”
Tong Qiu smiled widely until his eyes turned into crescents. He took his hand back and wiped it with a tissue in disgust: “Your mouth was oily!”
“Not just on mine,” Huo Zhixing put down his utensils and pulled Tong Qiu to sit on his lap. “You have to have it in your mouth too.”
With that, Huo Zhixing held the back of Tong Qiu’s head and kissed him deeply.
Tong-laoshi’s long-awaited play finally came. He waited all night for this moment, and he could not wait to finish the whole bottle of red wine in one breath.
“Do you want to have a drink?” The kiss made Tong Qiu so dizzy that he hooked an arm around Huo Zhixing’s neck, while the other picked up the wine glass. “I’ll feed you.”
Huo Zhixing looked at him with a smile and thought, I don’t know from which video he learned this from.
His teacher has always been good at self-studying. He always had new tricks to play everytime.
Huo Zhixing opened his mouth slightly, and Tong Qiu smiled as he pressed the rim of the glass to the other’s lips.
All lights inside the house were turned off, with their only light source being two lit candles. As Tong Qiu and Huo Zhixing looked at each other full of affection, the atmosphere seemed completely mysterious and ambiguous.
The next second, however, Tong Qiu drank the glass of wine himself.
“You have an alcohol allergy and still want a drink?” Tong Qiu teased, “Having a taste from what’s left in my mouth should be enough.”
He licked his lips, put the glass back on the table and leaned forward – hooking Huo Zhixing’s tongue with his as they kissed.
“How does it taste?” Tong Qiu asked.
Huo Zhixing’s arms circled his waist: “Are you asking about the red wine or you?”
“Both” Tong Qiu poured himself another cup.
“The red wine was not bad.” Huo Zhixing started to unbutton Tong Qiu’s shirt. “As for the other one, I need to taste it properly before I can give a reply.”
At this moment Tong Qiu really felt like he had gone drunk – like his whole body had been soaked in wine.
They were still sitting by the dining table. They didn’t know who it was, but someone accidentally swiped the plates and it crashed to the ground.
No one cared. No one cleaned it up. They were too busy.
Tong Qiu leaned back on the table – a hand behind him planted firmly on the table’s surface to steady him, and the other still holding onto the wine glass.
The little script he rehearsed in his mind has yet to be executed, so he couldn’t just give up.
Huo Zhixing has already started to get serious, making Tong Qiu moan, but he still hadn’t swallowed the wine.
The red liquid flowed down the corner of his mouth, then to his neck, before dripping down to the table.
Huo Zhixing thought that at this moment, Tong Qiu looked like a strawberry cream cake. It looked pretty and sweet and you can never have enough.
“When is Tong-laoshi going to give me a title?” Huo Zhixing turned the man over and continued, “I don’t feel secure until you give our relationship a name.”
Tong Qiu was so speechless that he just held the other’s hand and gasped for breath.
When Huo Zhixing saw him like this, he liked it even more, and made Tong Qiu beg for mercy as he pushed him hard on the table.
“I’m really wronged.”
After a bath, Tong Qiu sniffed his body and thought that it still smelled of red wine.
He and Huo Zhixing laid on the bed, letting themselves be cooled down by the air conditioner, before Tong Qiu lazily gave a reply to the other’s earlier question: “It’s not like I don’t want to give you a title, but we still have that certificate to worry about.”
Huo Zhixing bit his ear: “Lately, we both have been too busy. Next month, I can be transferred to the night shift. During the day, let’s change the certificate.”
Both of them have already reached this point in their relationship, and yet there was still a divorce certificate hanging above their heads serving as an awkward reminder.
Huo Zhixing thought about it: this time after they change their marriage certificate back, he would frame it and have it hung on the wall, so that he would be able to see it every day.
“Remember what you said: if by next month we still don’t have the certificate, you’ll be banned for half a year.”
Huo Zhixing wanted to laugh and thought in his heart: if sex really got banned for half a year, he bet Tong Qiu would ask for a divorce again.
Both men felt incredibly tired. Tong Qiu got tossed so badly that the moment he got comfortable, he immediately fell asleep.
Huo Zhixing stared at his slumbering form for a while, before following and closed his eyes. A moment later, when he was in between consciousness, a phone suddenly rang.
He grabbed the offending device and glanced at the message, finding that it was an alert for ticket discounts.
He didn’t remember searching for plane tickets, nor had he set up a reminder for discounts. He found it strange – until he noticed that it wasn’t his phone he grabbed, but Tong Qiu’s.
Huo Zhixing became even more confused. He had no idea that Tong Qiu planned to leave to play – this guy secretly made plans behind his back. Huo Zhixing suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.
He put down the cell phone before rolling over and pinched Tong Qiu’s ear: “Tong-laoshi plans to run away from the marriage?”
Tong Qiu sleepily swatted his hand and muttered that he shouldn’t make trouble.
Huo Zhixing was really curious but ultimately felt helpless as he didn’t have the heart to wake the other up. In the end, he bit the other in the cheek to vent before he gathered Tong Qiu in his arms and went back to sleep with a sigh.
Whatever, by tomorrow he will settle all accounts.
The author has something to say:
Tong Qiu: I just wanted to try plane play.
Nell’s Corner:
I’m very and truly sorry for the delay! I have no excuse – I simply lost track of time. I got too busy in rl that when I finally remembered I haven’t updated yet, a week had passed. SOBS.
Once again, forgive me.
