I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 115: This Life is Too Short, The Next Life is Too Long

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: This Life is Too Short, The Next Life is Too Long

"What are you crying for? Being my wife is your blessing!"

He spoke the line that he thought was the typical male role.

"Why am I acting like the Mountain King, huh?" He shook his head, trying to erase the scene that popped up in his mind.

"You’re acting just like a Mountain King now." Suizi gently traced the pattern on her hairpin.

"Perhaps in a previous life, I was the Mountain King, ruling over the hill, and you were the daughter of a high-ranking official whom I kidnapped. You cried all day."

His words led Suizi’s thoughts to roam freely.

"So, if you were the bandit and the wealthy daughter didn’t want to be with you, and she cried her eyes out every day, what would you do?"

"Have children."

"???"

"Have many children, until she can’t run away— what are you looking at me for? Ancient times weren’t like our village, with free condoms, and the contraceptive pills harmed the body. If it were really me, I certainly wouldn’t want to hurt my wife."

"So... wouldn’t you consider doing it less often?" She spoke like he was being considerate, pah!

Yu Jingting slanted a glance at her like she had asked a very ridiculous question. Suizi rubbed her forehead.

Some creatures that have evolved from geoducks are really driven by their instincts!

So, the conclusion is that you must take to the heatable brick bed, and if you get pregnant, just give birth. You can certainly raise a child!

Suizi was speechless.

"What if you were that wealthy daughter, would you run?" He asked, surprisingly nervous for some reason.

"I don’t know."

This answer really irritated Yu Jingting. It’s either yes or no. What does ’I don’t know’ mean?

"People make different decisions in different situations, even if it’s the same person. Different experiences will also result in different choices."

Just like her case.

In her previous life, if she hadn’t miscarried and misunderstood Yu Jingting, thinking he wanted to kill her, perhaps she would have stayed by his side. Maybe after being with him for a long time and understanding him deeply, she would still admire him like she does now.

But life is full of twists and turns and fate is truly unpredictable.

Suizi lowered her head to scrutinize the hairpin in her hand and answered his whimsical question seriously.

"I’m not her, so I can’t answer on her behalf. However, based on the message this hairpin has relayed to me—I think, that wealthy daughter eventually fell in love with the bandit."

"Oh?"

"Antiques are silent messages left by predecessors. Look, there are many tiny traces on this hairpin, which proves that it was used very frequently."

"I can’t believe a lady of refinement would have such a lack of aesthetic taste to wear such an unattractive hairpin every day."

Wearing such crude accessories every day, who would believe it wasn’t true love?

"Isn’t this quite good-looking?" Yu Jingting caught sight of the hairpin in Suizi’s hand. Among all the things she dug up, this was the one that caught his eye.

It was big and heavy, with a large pearl. It looked quite expensive. How wonderful.

"...In future, when we’re shopping for new clothes each season, please let me pick them." Suizi didn’t want to be made over by him into a nouveau riche; she was a woman with taste!

"That wealthy daughter must have had a bandit in her heart too, right? Both of them just had a wide gap in their statuses. If they could grow old together largely depended on whether they had the courage and luck to make it until the end. I’m curious too."

Suizi got into a literary and artistic mode and imagined a few romantic and warm scenes.

He stroked his chin contemplatively.

"What are you thinking about?" She felt that maybe Yu Jingting and herself were thinking about the same thing: the philosophy of love versus reality.

He often caught her off guard, providing her with some revelations and surprises.

Suizi looked at Yu Jingting through the filter and felt that a man deep in thought seemed very attractive.

"Well, if a man is highly skilled in bed, his wife won’t run away."

"..." Alright, she was overthinking it.

He was eating alone, and he was too lazy to move the heatable brick bed table. He simply pulled up a small stool and sat in front of the stove, eating noodles heartily.

The steam blurred his handsome profile. Suizi rested her chin on her hands and sat next to him, watching him. It felt like a long, long time ago, there was a timid girl who was also watching her Mountain King cautiously.

"Life is too short, and hereafter is too long." It is best to seize the present as a human.

"What are you mumbling about?" He tilted his head and sneaked a kiss on her while she was daydreaming.

The scent of seaweed and sesame oil from his noodles lingered on her soft lips, giving her once lonely heart a touch of worldly coziness.

"I said, wait until my hair grows long. Then you can put this on me yourself." She gestured towards the hairpin in her hand.

She didn’t know if that daughter of the wealthy family would run.

But she, she didn’t want to run.

"Sure, when the time comes, you can put on the red cotton jacket I bought for you. It will look great—paired with a pair of green plaid pants, and the shoes must be bright red. It’s festive."

Yu Jingting imagined that scene in mind. Nothing could be more luxurious in this world.

His wife must be the most stunning flower in the whole village.

Suizi stiffened.

Red paired with green?

And wearing such a big gold hairpin on her head? Who’s this carrot that has evolved into a living being?

"Do you want me to apply two big red apples on my cheeks too? And paint my lips into a big red moth-like shape?"

Suizi was carefully probing his lower threshold of aesthetics.

"No, can’t do that." He still remembered how uncomfortable she felt on their wedding day because of all the lipstick she had put on.

That was a close call. Suizi clutched her chest in relief.

"We can apply red blush on our kid, put a red dot on their forehead, and hang a big gold lock around their neck. If it is a girl, she should wear a gold bracelet on each hand. The gold must be of good quality. You can then show her off by carrying her everywhere. Won’t that be glorious?"

"And...and go out in public too?" Upon hearing that not only did he want to burden her, but also the kid, in such a fashion, Suizi’s head buzzed.

"Yeah, if we don’t go out in public, how will others know that our family is wealthy? Oh, speaking of this, I should go hunting in the mountains more often and save up some fur pelts to make fur clothes for you and the child. Adding a big gold chain, you will look amazing."

Suizi shuddered a little. The ever-present big gold chain and the fur clothes were always there!

This fashion trend is not even popular in the north yet, how did he come up with this?!

Yu Jingting imagined Suizi, leading their child out in all her glory, the blood just boiled in his veins.

The aesthetics of a bandit had one principle only, how good something looked was irrelevant.

The emphasis was on highlighting "I’m the wealthiest". Dressing his wife and child up so that the entire village was green with envy, that was the dream, that was the goal he was striving for.

"We will dye the fur red, and if possible, look for someone to make a pair of green leather pants. It will be windproof and warm."

Then he turned his head and saw that his wife had run back into the West Room and bolted the door.

"Hey, why are you running away?" He felt a bit wronged.

It was bad enough that she didn’t reward him with a kiss, but why run?

"Promise me! You won’t dress the child like a nouveau riche and only then, will I let you in!" Suizi collapsed and her voice came from inside the house.

"Yu Tiegen! You can’t make me and our child look like carrots just because your name means big carrot!" She wouldn’t become a carrot sprite. Absolutely, no!

"...Why is my name translated as ’big carrot’? Woman, open the door and explain! Do you always secretly call me ’Yu Bigcarrot’ in your heart?!"

In the Yueben Country language, the word "Dagen" translates to "Big Carrot".

"I never did!" She always secretly called him "geoduck sprite", hehe, she would never tell this to him.
