Chapter 01: Explosion (part 1)

It was the month of November.
Jiangbei City, Jiangbei Province, China.

The night was cold and windy, and people on the road were in a hurry.
After all, it was already 10 o’clock in the evening, and the weather was so cold.

Jiangbei City, was the capital city of Jiangbei Province.
Although it was only a small third-tier city, it was also a provincial capital, and there were things that big cities should have here.
Therefore, the consumption level has always been high.

There were 4 counties and 5 districts in Jiangbei City, and this story starts from the 5th district, the Xinjian District.

Xinghua Road in the Xinjian District, this road was a commercial street in the Xinjian District.
The crowds were surging, and the snack and supper shops along the road were full.

But the buildings here were all dilapidated.
Each building had only 7 floors.
There were no elevators, no property, not even a parking space.
These buildings were over 20 years old.
People who live here looked forward to them being demolished every day.
But it just didn’t happen.

*****

In front of the residential building, the dim street lights flickered, and it was quiet.
Everyone turned off the lights and went to sleep.

And on the third floor of one of the buildings was brightly lit through the curtains.

“Wife, let’s do it… please…” An urgent and a bit miserable voice sounded.

It was a young man with black-rimmed glasses.
He was wearing pajamas, rubbing his hands and smiling as he looked at the woman lying on the bed.

“I’m tired, sleep.”

The woman on the bed said in a cold voice.

“Tired… tired, Tu Sisi, tell me, when are you not tired? Eh? You take care of our son.
You cook and wash clothes at home every day.
You are more tired than I am at work.
Tell me, how long have we been without doing that?” Gu Xia asked with a sneer.

Tu Sisi sat up with a frosty face when she heard those words, her long flaxen hair was draped behind her, and her delicate face fell.
She first glanced at the child who was sleeping beside her, and saw that he was fast asleep.
Then she raised her head and said coldly, “I just coaxed Chengcheng to fall asleep? And, you wanted to wake him up? What else do you think about all day long except for that shit?”

“Hehe… yes, I only think about this shit.
I’m exhausted from work every day.
Isn’t it normal to think about that at night? But since Chengcheng was born, we only have one time per month on average.
Only once! We are only 30.
I’m far from being old, but I’m living the life of an old man.” Gu Xia sneered.

“It’s just you who worked hard? You come back in the middle of the night every day.
When you come home, the fumes of alcohol on your body can kill people.
When you come back, you either fall asleep or go crazy with alcohol.
You’re working hard? I haven’t asked you about the fact that you sometimes have the scent of women on your body.
Can you explain the smell of perfume? You lost your temper with me today, if it wasn’t for Chengcheng, I would have divorced you already.” Tu Sisi glanced at Gu Xia with contempt, and asked with a sneer.

Gu Xia felt that he was about to explode with anger, and he suddenly thought about what he was really working so hard for!

‘I run business during the day, till my feet are blistered, and at night I have to accompany clients to drink and laugh like they are my grandfather.
I have to drink even if I can’t and vomit, just to make a deal and make more mo
