Chapter 137: Chapter 137: I Really Want Him to See It Too

"What’s going on with you two? Which poor soul from the Yu Family passed away that has you wailing like this?"

Yu Jingting pointed towards the two women on the kang. He had only left for a moment, and the house was like this?

His mother and his wife, matching red eyes and noses, Suizi had cried till her eyes were swollen.

"Yuck! Don’t speak of such unlucky things during the Spring Festival!" Wang Cuihua spat out.

"What’s the real issue between you two? Our village is not suffering from drought, so why are you two flooding the house during the New Year?"

"Nothin’ - You’re back so soon?" Suizi attempted to veer off-topic.

During the Spring Festival, men become "invisible" and only come back to eat. The rest of the time, they can be found at either a card or drink table.

"It’s boring, beating them is like child’s play."

Playing cards is nothing compared to watching his wife; he wanted to take Suizi and Jiaojiao out to set off fireworks.

"Where did Jiaojiao go? This little missy, it’s already so late and she still hasn’t come back?"

"I’ll go make dumplings first. If she is still not back by the time I finish, Tiegen can go look for her."

Wang Cuihua went to make dumplings.

"What’s going on? Spit it out!" Yu Jingting pinched Suizi’s small chin, the more he saw her swollen eyelids from crying, the more it rubbed him the wrong way.

Such a pretty little missus, why cry!

"That year, you took my bean bun."

"What bean bun?"

Yu Jingting had done too many bad things, he couldn’t even remember such a small incident.

Only after Suizi explained it to him did he remember, he turned his head to the side and admired the newly pasted New Year’s paintings on the wall.

"Missy, look at these adorable babies in the painting, you should give me a kiddo like that."

"Stop changing the subject! Yu Jingting, why are you so wicked! If you wanted the bean bun, all you had to do is ask, I obviously would have given it to you. Why did you snatch it like a bandit? You knocked out one of my milk teeth, look!"

Suizi brought her mouth closer and pointed at her teeth to complain.

"All my other teeth are straight except this one which leans a little. Maybe it’s because you knocked it out when I was teething!"

She had finally found the root of all evils.

It’s him, it was all him!

Yu Jingting gave her a lazy glance, seeing her puffed up angry little face, he pulled her into his arms and without saying a word, he kissed her.

Suizi’s eyes went round with surprise. Was this guy still concerned about saving face?

She was seriously rebuking him, and he dared to be so frivolous!

The rogue tongue swept over the tooth she was complaining about, like a gentle soothe to her grievance, it tenderly comforted.

The elegant scent enveloped her causing her fair face to blush.

Now, he was much more refined than the young boy from back then, at least, he wouldn’t knock her teeth out again.

The satisfied man laid his head on her shoulder; the warm breath he exhaled was rhythmical.

"It was just a bean bun. Didn’t I ’pay’ you for it back then? Here, that just now, consider it as interest. Don’t make a fuss anymore, sweetheart."

Suizi felt both angry and wronged by his shamelessness. Her watery eyes gazed at him like a doe, and her soft lips puckered due to the special attention thrown her way.

His Adam’s apple bobbed at the sight of her adorable looks.

"Little missy, don’t act like that, try to control yourself."

"???"

He propped one hand on the kang beside Suizi, brought his handsome face closer to hers with a roguish grin.

"If you keep looking at me like this, I won’t be able to resist ’repaying’ you. So, for eating one of your bean buns, I have to kiss you for a lifetime?"

Finishing, he chuckled twice.

"Well, that’s not a no~"

"!!!" Suizi was rendered speechless by his utter audacity.

She turned away, her back facing him, rummaging through her meticulously prepared arsenal of insults.

Yu Jingting lazily circled to her front, his charming smile threw her off the train of thoughts.

"Are you thinking about the right words to scold me again? Hey, if there’s something you don’t like about me, make sure to tell me. Don’t hold it in and end up hurting yourself. Anyway, no matter what you say, I won’t change."

"Argh!"

Suizi’s brain jammed up again due to his provocations.

Yu Jingting couldn’t counter, so she slapped him on the shoulder and fell onto the kang.

Suizi unceremoniously climbed on top of him, with only one thought in her head.

"I’ll flatten you!"

All these years of being chubby finally had a purpose!

"The moment I open my mouth on the large Northeastern kang-bed, my wife goes crazy and jumps on me—admit that you’re fat? Ouch! Don’t bite my handsome face!"

When Wang Cuihua entered the room, Suizi plaintively pointed at Yu Jingting and complained.

"Mom, he’s bullying me!"

Yu Jingting covered his nose. On his tall nose bridge, there were two glamorous teeth caps as he grinned.

"Who’s bullying who? Wasn’t I trying to make you laugh because you were crying like a little darling? But you, sassy maiden, decided to bite me when you couldn’t out-argue me?"

"Yu Tiegen, you dissonant thing! Why are you provoking Suizi!"

Yu Jingting’s ear was twisted by his mother.

Suizi watched this scene on the kang-bed and felt like she’d won the world.

Yu Jingting was taken care of by his wife and mother, and dare not talk back.

"If you bully me again, you’ll forever be coupled with the washboard!" Five minutes later, Suizi finally thought of a retort.

Her twinkling eyes were filled with triumph, making Yu Jingting’s throat itch.

He really wanted to tease her.

To tease her until her little face puffed up, her big eyes round and rolling, with little stars hanging on her eyelashes, utterly adorable.

He couldn’t get enough.

He just wanted to bully her mercilessly.

"What’s that look in your eyes, not convinced?" Suizi tilted up her chin.

Yu Jingting heaved a sigh.

Months of pent-up emptiness were furiously eating away at his restless soul. He had a brain-cramp and voiced his thoughts.

"Were you a mountain goblin in your previous life? How come you’re always ensnaring my soul?"

Yu Jingting’s words made Suizi’s heart palpitate wildly. Was he complimenting her on her charm in a roundabout way?

Even common love talk sounded unexpectedly sweet coming from his mouth.

Suizi hung her head. She was pretending to peel an orange to hide her inner joy. The cool skin of the orange alleviated her slightly rapid breathing. She tried to remain calm and natural.

"So...what kind of spirit do you think I am?"

A bewitching fox spirit, a cute rabbit spirit.

Actually, she thought the mysterious and elegant mountain cat spirit could work too.

Yu Jingting tilted his head in thought.

"You’re probably a wild pig spirit. You bite when you’re riled up."

Suizi squashed the orange in her hand.

"Yu, Tie, Gen! You are the wild pig spirit, all family members of yours besides me, our mother and Jiaojiao are wild pig spirits!"

Yu Jingting was kicked off the kang.

An orange, squashed by Suizi, was stuck to his head.

Going to his mother for comfort turned out to be unsuccessful and even more mocking. Served him right.

Dejected, he walked over to the portrait of his late father and mumbled to himself.

"Dad, your daughter-in-law just called us wild pig spirits."

Other than those three women in his family, wasn’t it just him and the old man hanging on the wall?

Wang Cuihua was both amused and frustrated, with a touch of melancholy.

It felt so lively this Spring Festival since a new member joined their family.

How nice it would be if her late husband were here to witness it all. She wished he could see it too.

Jiaojiao returned.

Seeing her daughter’s small hand, red from the cold and holding a piece of drawing paper, Wang Cuihua scolded,

"I told you to wear gloves when you go out. You never listen. If your hand gets frostbite, see what you’ll do—oh!"
