Zhou Lei crashed on his bed. His legs could not take it anymore.Exhausted from dancing for an hour straight, even when he lied on the bed, his legs shivered endlessly.
"Ah, it aches!" Zhou Lei clenched his fists s he tried to withstand the pain.
Other than the exhaustion in his legs, the sweaty shirt made it uncomfortable for him.
He sat up straight, making sure not to move his legs, and removed the shirt. "Haah, this is really wet."
Locking his sights onto the laundry basket across the room, Zhou Lei threw it, only for it to land just outside.
"Uh, but I can"t move right now."
Even after removing the shirt, his torso was still wet. He grabbed the blanket on the bed and started wiping himself.
"...That feels much better."
Although holding the bar tired his arms as well, they were not as limp as his legs. He still had the ability to move them around.
He lied on the bed comfortably, and it made a little squeak.
"...I need to replace this bed."
.....
On the dinner table.
Except for Zhou Lei, all of them were eating. Zhou Xiang and Zhou Jiahao were on each side of the table, while Zhou Zhenya sat between them.
Zhou Zhenya felt an inexplicable uncomfortable aura, as her mother glanced at her father from time to time.
However, they were not gazes of romance, but rather, they were of disdain.
"Honey... don"t be mad anymore, please?" Zhou Jiahao tried his best to placate the matter. Inside, he thought, "How petty can my wife be?"
"I know what you"re thinking." Zhou Xiang gave a vague response, but that was enough to make her husband shudder.
"No, it"s... it"s not what you think!" Zhou Jiahao stood up from his chair, walked up to Zhou Xiang, and kneeled on the floor. He put his two hands together and pleaded, "No, I- I am sorry!"
"Hmm..." Zhou Xiang took another spoonful of the food, and with her mouth full, she couldn"t talk.
Zhou Zhenya pretended that she didn"t see a thing and ate peacefully.
After the awkward dinner, Zhou Zhenya went straight to her room. Her head was full of thoughts, like "After fighting, they always make weird noises at night..."
She put her head under her pillow and waited for the night to pa.s.s.
As she expected, moans came from the room that was at the end of the hallway.
.....
c.o.c.k-doodle-doo!
Zhou Lei raised his eyebrows. I didn"t know chickens could talk.
He opened his eyes slowly, as he woke up.
With this, System sent a notification.
"Your freebie points have expired on 12:00 a.m. You can no longer use them."
"My freebie points? What are those?" Zhou Lei forgot about the previous surprise already.
He stood up from his bed, his legs having recovered partially. "...To the arcade?"
The clock on the wall of his room ticked... Actually, there is no clock on the wall of his room, this is just filler.
Ahem, Zhou Lei opened his phone and looked at the time.
"It"s only 6:42 a.m... Why did I wake up early today?" Zhou Lei scratched his head lazily, and his hair was scruffy as a result of all his movements while sleeping.
"Is there some important plot point I"m about to witness?"
Before he could even think about anything, Zhou Lei heard two simultaneous screams from outside his room.
"...Mom and dad?"
Zhou Lei exited his room and headed towards his parents" with a hastened pace. He opened it without reservation, and with a face full of worry, asked, "What happened?"
He was greeted with the sight of two unfamiliar looking people on his parents" bed. They looked at each other with wide eyes.
"Who... are you?" The two asked each other in chorus.
Zhou Lei stared at the two immaculate figures in front of him. Even though they weren"t as good looking as him, they were still a pair of perfectly carved figures.
"What are you doing in my bed, get out!" The woman hurriedly pushed the man off. He fell, with a thud, on the floor.
"Where is my husband, huh?" She then continued to question the man, her tone extremely concerned.
A man snuck into my bed and replaced my husband? Then what about last night?
Meanwhile, the man stood up and looked angrily at the woman. "You... How dare you claim this as your bed! This is clearly my wife"s and mine!"
They found each other"s voices familiar, but they could not quite put their finger on it.
"Wh- what are you saying? I just had s.e.x here last night with my husband!" Zhou Xiang was fl.u.s.tered seeing the uncovered private parts of the man in front of her. This, morning wood?
"How is that possible when I did the same thing with my wife last night, right here?!"
"Wait!" The two glanced at each other in realization.
"So you... we cheated on our partners?"
