You are not man enough

When the TV signal in our house went out, the lights were still on in the living room of Zhou Bing's house.

I pressed my voice and rushed into the bedroom, "I'm going to Zhou Bing's house to watch the ball game."

"Which Zhou Bing?" My wife asked me with a fuss and an odd tone.

"Which other Zhou Bing? The one who lives across the street from us, the one who came to our house to watch the game." At the end of the day, I was somewhat justified, as if going to Zhou Bing's house to watch the ball game was to return the gift to Zhou Bing.

"This is good, so as not to affect my sleep." Wife covered in the quilt jarringly said, "late at night, give someone a call beforehand ......"

I grabbed half a box of cigarettes on the coffee table, clanged the door shut, two hands up and down a touch, only to find that the keys and cell phones are left in the bedroom.

Ask your wife to open the door, I do not have the courage.

Downstairs, upstairs. I hesitated for a long time before I got up the courage to knock on the door of Zhou Bing's house, as the singing voice of a Peking opera was coming from the TV.

Zhou Bing's wife, dressed in a white dress with blue flowers, put her hand on the doorframe, and when she saw me, she was stunned, then retracted her hand and said, "No need to change your shoes."

I confusedly followed Zhou Bing's wife into the house, but did not see Zhou Bing's figure, I was confused to find a seat. Zhou Bing's wife gently closed the door before she wobbled over to greet me, "What can I drink?"

"Where is Zhou Bing? He asked me to come over to watch the football game." I lay with a red face.

Zhou Bing's wife was surprised "Oh", but she quickly covered up the surprised expression, smiled, and said, "He temporarily had to go out, asked me to accompany you for a while ......".

"How is that good?" I hurriedly interrupted her, lifted my buttocks, and made a gesture to leave.

Zhou Bing's wife did not stop me, but picked up the remote control and pressed the sports channel. The second leg of the Champions League semi-final was being broadcast live on TV, and my raised buttocks fell back involuntarily.

Zhou Bing's wife held a few cans of beer, shaking, piled on her chest, really worried about slipping in through her wide neckline. I quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and could not resist a light cough. Zhou Bing's wife seemed to see my greed, smiled, and generously buried herself, pushing a stream of beer in front of me.

I waved my hand and said, "I don't drink."

Zhou Bing's wife looked at me strangely, as if measuring a monster, and then giggled, "car show without beauty, it can still be called a car show? If fans don't drink beer, how can they be called fans?"

"I can't drink." I said timidly, "I ...... I am allergic to alcohol."

"You don't look like a man!" Zhou Bing's wife cocked her head and plucked out a fierce look at me.

Her gaze was hard, and my chest suddenly felt a very strange pain. I forced myself to raise my head, met her eyes, and immediately lost the battle. I saw a delicate ashtray resting on the coffee table, no cigarette butts, no ashes, a spotless look, my heart suddenly had the urge to smoke.

I tentatively asked, "Can I smoke?"

Zhou Bing's wife froze for a moment, then nodded and put her nice little hand in front of me, saying charmingly, "I'll have one too!"

I was stunned. Zhou Bing's wife smiled and said, "Don't you men just want to watch the game for the atmosphere? What Zhou Bing gets at your house, you can get at mine."

What are you talking about? I was shocked, my butt involuntarily moved out.

Zhou Bing's wife didn't answer my words, but brought the cigarette roll to me and asked me to light it for her. She greedily took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, then pointed to the TV screen and asked me, "Do you think they can decide the winner in five rounds?"

"Just two rounds." I corrected.

"No way!" Zhou Bing's wife shook her head firmly, "Last year's European Championship final, Zhou Bing watched all six rounds at your house."

Looking at her smiling eyes, I didn't know how to explain, so I said vaguely, "If you say five rounds, then five rounds!"

Hearing my words, Zhou Bing's wife suddenly burst out laughing, "You are not a man! It's only two rounds, and you say it's five rounds. You also lie to your wife like this, right?"

I was so embarrassed that my face was red and I fumbled for an excuse and fled.

The next day home from work, I went upstairs, Zhou Bing downstairs, he punched me on the bridge of the nose, crimson blood down my lips straight down. I am angry, Zhou Bing half a box of cigarettes to my face, throwing down a "you are not man enough", and went away.

The wife helped me into the house, shaking her head and sighing, you are not a man!

I was stunned.

My wife neatly took out the phone from my pocket, fiddled with it a few times, put it on the sofa in front of me, and said, "Look at it yourself!

I saw that the phone screen showed such a short message: my wife if you ask, just say I was at your house watching the game.

The text message was sent by Zhou Bing at two in the morning when I was fighting his wife's cigarette roll in her mouth.
