Comrade: Almost a Cat-astrophic Love Story

Panda Novel

He had never felt so betrayed by his own mother.

Especially before so many people, and to think she even used the word ‘pleasured’. Pei Zhen turned a bright scarlet just hearing it.

“Mum…” Pei Zhen strode up to his mother, tossing out all formality and reservation. He snatched the wine glass from her hand. “Guo’er, you’re drunk.”

“I’m not drunk!” Pei Zhen’s mother wasn’t at all pleased that her wine glass had been taken from her, and banged the table. “Drink up! Continue to drink! I’m not drunk at all!”

“Mum…” Pei Zhen pleaded.

“Oh do keep quiet.” Brushing all image aside, his mother said, “The bottom party has no right to talk to me.” Her breath was heavy with alcohol.

Pei Zhen was speechless. Was that his real mother?!

Hence the family dinner ended in a bit of unexpected mess, with the two fathers helping their wives into their respective cars. Before Pei Zhen had the chance to heave a sigh of relief, Fu Sichen’s father came up to them in a flash.

“Pei Pei, now that you’ve got into Fu Sichen’s bed, we’re family.” Holding Pei Zhen’s hand, Fu Sichen’s father had a solemn expression and said with a sort of elated boldness, “A little red packet, keep this. In the future, if Fu Sichen should not treat you well, I… I… I will report him to the police!”

Pei Zhen chuckled.

“Don’t worry.” Fu Sichen encircled an arm around Pei Zhen’s waist and looked at his father with coldness in his eyes. “I will treat Pei Zhen very well. Leave the red packet here. You may go.”

Before Fu Sichen’s father could leave, Pei Zhen’s father immediately rushed over like a bolt of lightning, and he held Fu Sichen’s hand.

“Sichen, my daughter-in-law, this is a little token from me, please take it.” It was another red packet, and he shoved it into Fu Sichen’s hand. Pei Zhen’s father was like a method actor. “I know it’s hard to be the one in the shadow, thank you for giving in to my Pei Pei, the mini top party.”

Fu Sichen tried not to roll his eyes.

Although not too pleased that his father was talking down, and even more disagreeable that he was the mini top party, Pei Zhen was quite smug to hear someone referring to Fu Sichen as the ‘daughter-in-law’. He patted Fu Sichen on the shoulder and added a few heartfelt words.

“Darling, don’t worry. I will cherish and love you all my life, and will not abandon you till death.”

The vow was indeed touching. Surprisingly Fu Sichen didn’t get angry upon hearing that, and only wanted to laugh.

What was initially thought of as a rather formal meeting of the parents turned out to be quite the opposite and ended amazingly. The two fathers, unlike the mothers, thought of their own sons as the top party. Even along the way home with their drunk wives, they wouldn’t stop debating.

Although the ending left them not knowing whether to laugh or to cry, Pei Zhen could finally heave a sigh of relief.

Surprisingly self-aware, he told Fu Sichen quite earnestly after the two old men had left, “Darling, thank you for saving my ego.”

It wasn’t that Pei Zhen was especially particular about it. When he was using the term ‘daughter-in-law’, it was all in jest.

Even if the truth came out, it would have been alright. He thought that Fu Sichen would have spoken up. Only, he didn’t expect that Fu Sichen would pamper him to that extent.

The darling Fu Sichen raised an eyebrow and smiled. “For you, I’d gladly go through any hardship.”

Their eyes met, and tenderness filled them like the star-lit skies.

After the meeting of the parents-in-law, apart from the formalization of their sons’ relationship, it also gave the paparazzi some juicy content for their headlines.

There were already rumors circulating that Fu Sichen was the bottom party, although most of the netizens didn’t believe it. However, when the audio recording of what Pei Zhen’s father said at the entrance of the restaurant found its way into the social media platforms, it became almost impossible to deny!

Pei Zhen, the world’s cutest mini top party!
