"Husband Storage" builds in the aisle between two shops, which is a 20-square-meter space, but has warm decoration and free Wi-Fi. One row of soft leather sofas, massage chairs and bookshelves are arranged on both sides of the aisle respectively. There are many books above the sofa. And there are jacks which are convenient for people to charge easily.

At evening 9 o’clock on Friday, workdays of a week are over and people started to celebrate the arrival of weekend. The number of people in "Husband Storage" is gradually increasing. Many husbands shopping with their wives are stored in "Husband Storage".

Mr. Wang, drinking cola and represhing his weibo, complained to reporter: "My wife and I are both bank clerks, and today is a day off. We started shopping after lunch and have been shopping all the day. She likes shopping in spare time, but I don't, so I come here.”

Mr. Liu, who is stored here, has the same experience. He said while eating snacks, "My wife and I rushed here after work. My wife wanted to buy a skirt but she didn’t pick it up for an hour. I am tired but she wants to keep shopping, so I come here to have a rest until she finishing shopping. It is a very humanized place, and I hope every shopping mall can build one."

Some of the wives who have stored their husbands are happy, other are worried.

The reporter interviewed some wives who have stored their husbands. Mrs. Chen, the wife of Mr. Wang, was buying milk tea. She calmly said, "My husband doesn’t like shopping, and I note that he is very painful when shopping with me every time. It is a good thing that Husband Storage appears. We can do our own thing happily.” 

Mrs. Yang, the wife of Mr. Liu, doesn’t like the storage. She said with an extremely dissatisfied feeling, "My husband and I work for Internet companies. We are very busy and have less chance to eat dinner together. I feel very unhappy that after I ask him for shopping with me on weekends, he comes directly to the Husband Storage."

Sometimes they come here to have a rest when they’re tired at work. And they think more places like "Wife Storage" and "White-collar Storage" could be built to meet the needs of different people.
