I remember there was once when the company’s strong woman, Qiong Jie, led a group of small rookies around my desk and asked me, “Kang Yan, how can you stay with BOSS for two years?”

Knowing what she meant, I cleared my throat and smiled widely at the new employees of the company, “Because I don’t covet the BOSS’s beauty ah.” FUHPix

Qiong Jie’s mouth dropped as if she had seen a ghost and she stared speechlessly.

BOSS, that is, my male god happened to come out of the back office at that time. Under the bright light, he looked at me with a funny expression.

The surroundings were strangely quiet.

………

At this moment, the male god who had been my boss for three years is standing in front of the door of the company building with his hands in his pockets while there was a torrential downpour outside.

If he were to suddenly run out onto the street, his whole body becoming drenched in rain, and yell, “Why are you betraying me?! You people are a bunch of dogs, you’re better off dead!” then –

It would have been in line with the routine of a dog blood drama.

But I don’t think that would be practical. iaem4s

Even though he was betrayed by his beloved woman, his face didn’t change when he left the company. He really is my male god.

I didn’t have a fever. My mind was very clear when I ran after BOSS like a doting little eunuch.

I poked his back.

Oh, it feels pretty good. WwV9sf

“BOSS, come to my house first ba.”

I didn’t notice how it sounded like the beginning of an invitation to a shotgun relationship. BOSS looked at me with a strange expression.

I quickly clarified, “That… I am not coveting your beauty.”

After being BOSS’s assistant for the third year, I once again saw that funny look on the male god’s face. wvYK1H

Seriously, even though I was the BOSS’s assistant for three years, I’m not very familiar with him.

I heard that the first female assistant who was “familiar with him” was dismissed in the name of adultery.

The second male assistant who had wanted to get close to him was transferred to another department by the male god for sexual harassment. v9JB1r

Then came a young talent who the boss righteously scolded in public, “Don’t touch me.”

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

It was really… anyways, as a result, the young talent voluntarily resigned with red eyes.

So when I went home with an unfamiliar male god, the atmosphere was very strange.

The rain hit the blue umbrella that I was holding and the sounds that the droplets made were not pleasant to the ear. The canopy of the umbrella was too small and the male god was too tall. I had to practically raise my right hand above my head to try and cover the two of us with it.

If this had been a novel then the sound of *”thump thump” will enter the next scene and my hands won’t need to feel sore anymore. Instead, the male god was drifting farther and farther away from me.

[T/N: *the pinyin for “咻” here was xiū but it was changed since Mims pointed that in a typical rain scene the ML would have taken the umbrella and held it instead so his arms wouldn’t have felt sore. His heart might have also went dokidoki in that moment which I thought made sense ^^] J9ny3j

Walking in the rain can be very romantic with a slightly grey sky that was full of haze,while the surrounding noises quietly ebbed away. Unfortunately, such a romantic scene was a far cry from the current stormy situation.

Half my body and shirt was drenched with water, and it was absolutely freezing. Finally, I couldn’t help asking the male god, “BOSS, can you come closer?”

I almost cheekily blew him a kiss which scared even me. If the male god knew that a good young man like me likes to watch idol dramas, he might just immediately flee to the other end of the bridge and not want to go home with me anymore.

Fortunately, BOSS only looked at me and moved a little closer. rlJmYI

My home was in a small old district, an eight-storey *Tong lau, on the third floor.

[T/N: Tong lau refers to tenement buildings ]

None of the old houses in this area have elevators, which gives off quite the nostalgic feeling of old Hong Kong movies. yUCFiz

The male god looked up and down the shabby red lacquer door to my home. The paint on the top corner of the door was peeled off slightly and bits of wood were exposed.

The position between the door and the wall had been abraded and an unpleasant squeak can be heard when the door was opened.

BOSS frowned and asked his first question since following me home from the company, “How do you live in… this place?”

I was busy storing away the wet umbrella lest there were complaints of water seeping down through the floorboards and smiled gloatingly, “Isn’t that because the salary BOSS gives is too low?” oHhDWT

Of course this was not the case, there were some things that are just pointless to say.

The blue umbrella was neatly folded away. When I looked up, BOSS glanced at me and took off his shoes, then entered the house.

The male god had black eyes that could talk, I can always read something from them. Just now, they seemed to say, “What’s so funny? This idiot.”

I used my toes to flexibly remove my white socks and left them by the front door. Then, I hurriedly pulled open the curtains before throwing a towel on BOSS’s head. BM0gcP

There was some disbelief on BOSS’s face. It seems like I should have respectfully handed over the towel with my hands?

Stealing a glance at his eyes, I probably guessed right.

I didn’t mind him though. Touching my chin, I looked around at this two bedroom apartment that I was very familiar with. It was neat and tidy.

After confirming that there were no “prohibited items” left out, I hurried into the bathroom to take a bath. While soaking in the water, warmth gradually spread from my toes to my cheeks. I later thought, this seems to be the first time BOSS came to my house? D01RI4

Circling the cold tiles next to me with my fingertips, I dipped my head into the hot water and blew bubbles to comfort myself:

At least there’s a cup of hot tea for him… and a towel…

Not too bad.

When I came out of the bath, however, I found a problem. O3YCpV

Looking at the only clean white shirt in the bathroom, the image that emerged in my head was one of the hem reaching down only far enough to cover that particular region while showing off the thighs of this white flower. Too indecent, I am not such a casual person…!

[TN: Mims and I believe that the flower part is KY referring to himself as a virgin xD]

But after giving it some thought, it’s not like the male god would think I was going to do something to him just because I’m dressed like that, right?

After a moment, I had a heroic idea. Tie the long sleeves of the shirt around my waist and adjust the hem. Looking into the mirror, it was as if I was wearing a long skirt. The top half of my body was exposed, while the bottom half was like that of a hooligan’s. J9kqI4

Opening the door of the bathroom, the mist followed the cold air conditioning into the room.

“…”

Holding a cup of hot tea, the male god stared at my new look for a long time.

After the male god finished bathing, the gray slacks that belonged to me became cropped trousers when worn by him. I bit the corner of my lips and almost couldn’t keep myself from laughing out loud.

Carrying with him an abundance of body heat and the scent of shower gel, the male god wiped his dripping black hair and calmly sat down beside me.

Seeing him put his laptop on his lap and focused on the screen, I didn’t bother him.

Sure enough, it’s BOSS. He already had a plan this quickly. uxLQd8

The winter night that was ravaged by the rain was particularly cold, and there was no heating at home. I closed the glass windows tightly then cleaned up the rooms which had accumulated a thick layer of dust.

After such intense physical labor, I was starting to sweat as my body gradually warmed up.

Going into the kitchen again, there was not much left in the refrigerator. I put in two tomatoes to let them cook with the udon noodles at the bottom of the pot, then peeled and threw in a few shrimps.

After busying myself for almost an hour, I went to the male god with an attitude of “seeking praise” but when I saw the male god sound asleep while clutching his laptop, my mind calmed down a little. 2pTwao

His freshly washed bangs laid flat on his forehead, covering his handsome eyebrows, and the whole person appeared softer.

Then I did something that was particularly regrettable. Instead of carefully appreciating the rare sleeping posture of the male god, I directly poked at his head over and over again and said, “Dinner.”

The male god was unceremoniously made to sit across from me to eat udon noodles. Meanwhile, I was blaming myself for not waking the male god up in a gentler way on one hand while doing my best to not stare at the red fingerprints I had left on his forehead on the other.

When the male god put down the chopsticks, he didn’t leave his seat but said thanks to me in a low voice. mUBvNQ

I scratched my head and laughed “hehe” when I suddenly thought of something…

“BOSS, you’re responsible for washing the dishes.”

Male god: “…”

Ping Ping Pang Pang. After the male god broke a number of plates in the kitchen, I officially took over the job of washing dishes.

They all say that boys should be poor and experience life! Otherwise, how will we be able to divide the housework with our and live together with our cohabitant in harmony?

I put on my pink rubber gloves and said to the male god who was standing nearby watching me with his arms folded:

“BOSS, you can’t count on love to accomplish everything. A relationship… ah… even if you live together, you have to contribute to maintain a home.” vkeq7t

BOSS listened to me silently before agreeing begrudgingly.  

“En, I will share the housework.”

The male god had saved a lot of money in recent years but until the situation turns over, every dollar should be spent wisely. What’s more, with how expensive the current rent is…

Thinking of this, I focused on the rag and bubbles in my hand and said, “I’ve wronged you, BOSS.” sLkEhx

… At most I won’t give the job of washing the toilet to you.

The male god hesitated for a bit. He seemed to have shaken his head but I didn’t see it clearly. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said: “… Kang Yan, why did you leave with me?”

Without pause, I smiled as I continued scrubbing the dishes. I have long expected BOSS to raise this question.

At that time, as I was staring at his proud back, he had looked around the office and said, “I will be back.” Yh369Z

His words did not contain much emotion nor was there any hesitation so I knew that he would definitely come back and regain all his efforts.

Qiong jie, Li Shu, and the old higher-ups didn’t say anything. I, Xiao Ping, and Ah Li on the other hand were all brought into the company by BOSS four years ago in hopes of working together and producing results.

Back then, we had just graduated from college and had nothing. We were hot-blooded and failed countless times, working overnight on several occasions, but even when our ideas were rejected by the clients over and over again, we didn’t care.

I wasn’t very business savvy but after working a year with him, BOSS had said to me,”Kang Yan, you have a good heart, come work as my assistant.” wv79PG

The male god was more or less unable to get along with me at work. I think it was because I was too useless and not decisive enough. Adding on to the fact that he wasn’t familiar with me, he was flattered when I left with him.

During those four years, Xiao Ping raised a family while Ah Li was shouldering high hopes and had a girlfriend to take care of. I believe the male god was also aware of this which was why he didn’t force them nor did he blame them for not following him.

As the years flew by, some things, when put down, are put down forever.

Thinking about this was quite uncomfortable and the atmosphere had already become gloomy. 42xmfZ

“There would have been nothing left for me.”

But these kinds of miserable words were just too embarrassing to say out loud.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The male god continued looking straight at me, waiting for my answer.

I set the clean dishes aside and took off my gloves. Then, facing the upright male god, I used both hands to make a heart over the left side of my chest and arched towards him. Xm6Nd2

The male god’s face blackened and his eyes seemed to protest ‘You’re teasing me!’

Bullying the male god is quite fun ah.

Feel free to point out any mistakes! Also, do let me know whether you are fine or bothered with the way I put my translator notes within the chapter instead of at the very end. I just thought it would be easier than having to scroll down and potentially losing your reading spot ^^;
