I am chasing a rough man in the 80s -
Chapter 215: The Turn of Feng Shui
Chapter 215: Chapter 215: The Turn of Feng Shui
"Speak in Chinese, then it’s—" Suizi paused, "I won’t tell you."
"Or else, I’ll tickle you." He pretended to embrace her.
"Help!!!"
The yell pierced the silence of the night.
They looked at each other.
Who was that?
It sounded quite far away, as if it came from the alley.
"Could someone be in trouble?" Suizi asked.
As if in response to her words, another cry for help sounded.
"You go home first, I’ll go and see." Yu Jingting gently pushed Suizi.
Suizi, not at ease with him going, didn’t want him to go, but the cries for help from the alley were getting louder.
"Just be careful, fight if you can, run if you can’t win..." Suizi was worried.
Upon returning to her own courtyard, she stared in the direction of the alley.
The view was pitch-black; she couldn’t see anything.
Suizi’s heart was in her throat. It wasn’t right to let him go alone. What if the other person is armed?
Taking the iron shovel, she walked outside, shouting as she went:
"Fire—" She caught herself mid-sentence, that wouldn’t work.
"Fire!!!"
As soon as her yell went out, two households turned on their lights.
Suizi walked towards the direction while shouting "fire".
Quite a few households had people rushing out.
"Teacher Xiaochen, where’s the fire?"
Suizi pointed down the alley.
"I couldn’t hear what they were shouting clearly, it sounded like a fire."
Having got everyone out, it would now be awkward to return inside.
The crowd headed towards the alley, Suizi carrying the iron shovel followed them.
Just as they reached the mouth of the alley, they heard a man’s scream from inside.
"Ah!"
It wasn’t Yu Jingting, Suizi breathed a sigh of relief.
A series of flashlights shone in the direction of the sound.
A figure clumsily ran into the distance, Yu Jingting was about to give chase, but something in the corner of his eye didn’t seem right—?!
"Chen Hansui! You!!!"
His pregnant wife, yes, the one who was carrying twins, was mixed in the crowd, attempting to pass her shovel to someone else while he was distracted!
She thought he wouldn’t see!
"Ah, so my husband is here being brave and righteous!" Suizi shouted guiltily yet extravagantly, successfully diverting everyone’s attention.
Yu Jingting glared at her. That little rascal, he’d settle her hash later.
There was a disheveled woman next to Yu Jingting. She was barefoot with her shoes thrown aside and looked rather pitiful, also somewhat familiar.
"Sister Wang?" Suizi recognized her.
Wasn’t this Wang Hui, the supervisor of the Department Store?
"Should we call the police?"
"There’s no need. It was my ex-husband."
Five minutes later, at the Yu Family’s home.
Suizi handed Wang Hui a cup of warm water.
Wang Hui had a slap mark on her face and a pinch mark on her neck, which would probably bruise by tomorrow.
"Thank you." Wang Hui had somewhat recovered now and was sitting on the chair, looking disoriented.
At this time, Wang Hui seemed very fragile, quite unlike her efficient image at work.
Wang Cuihua woke up and came over, yawning.
"What happened?"
"My friend ran into some trouble." Suizi said.
Wang Cuihua looked Wang Hui up and down, shaking her head.
"Your face looks darker than usual. Things might not go well for you recently."
"Mom, go rest, don’t scare people here." Suizi persuaded Wang Cuihua who was walking away, still talking over her shoulder.
"It’s true. I’ve been reading people’s faces for many years. She has an ominous appearance—Young lady, find some time to go to pray!"
Suizi pushed her mother-in-law into her room and closed the door, but Wang Cuihua was still obstinate.
"Really! Trust me!"
Suizi gave a wry smile to Wang Hui.
"I’m sorry, sister Wang. My mother-in-law didn’t mean any harm."
Wang Hui forced a bitter smile.
"It’s alright, your mother-in-law is right, I haven’t been feeling great recently."
Suizi didn’t want to intrude by asking directly, so she indirectly said:
"Are you sure you don’t want to call the police? It looks like you’re injured."
"It’s useless. Even if I did call the police, they couldn’t do anything. This isn’t the first time."
"Any scumbag who hits women, if I see him next time, he won’t get off lightly."
Yu Jingting grunted from the side, shooting a freezing glare at his pregnant wife.
Suizi pretended not to see.
Wang Hui sighed and shook her head.
"Thank you for tonight."
Seeing that she didn’t want to share, Suizi didn’t push further. Once Wang Hui had a drink and gathered her energy, Suizi asked Yu Jingting to take her home.
Wang Hui felt awkward and tried to refuse, but she couldn’t resist Suizi’s persistence.
It wasn’t that far, and Yu Jingting returned quickly after dropping her off.
Suizi was curled up under the covers. Hearing the door open, she immediately closed her eyes, pretending to breathe deeply and evenly.
As long as she acted convincingly enough, Yu Jingting couldn’t scold her~
"Stop pretending, I know you’re not asleep." Yu Jingting undressed.
Suizi continued to breathe steadily.
Yu Jingting put his hand on the heater. Once his body cooled down, he crawled under the covers and pulled her close.
"Still pretending?"
Seeing Suizi ignoring him, he teased,
"Have you considered taking a whiff of the socks I just took off?"
"I’m awake."
Suizi sat up.
Although Yu Jingting, under her supervision, was a very clean man, she really didn’t have a sock sniffing fetish.
"Heh, little lady." Yu Jingting sat cross-legged across from her, appearing as though he was waiting for her confession.
Suizi wrapped herself in a blanket, only her head poking out.
"I, I didn’t do anything wrong." Her tone was guilty.
"Oh, being pregnant, you rushed to help others in trouble?"
"I called for help too..." It wasn’t a show of force!
She called for help, and she had a shovel. If he wouldn’t praise her for her quick thinking, would he interrogate her instead?!
Initially, Suizi was a bit timid. But after thinking it over, she managed to build up her confidence.
With her small pumpkin belly, her expression morphed from guilt to pride.
"I was super smart today! No, I’m smart every day!"
Yu Jingting looked on, expressionless.
"You dismiss my words, don’t you? I told you to stay safe at home. Are you in a condition to be in collisions? No, correction, even if you were not pregnant, you shouldn’t go to dangerous places."
Suizi resisted.
"If you’re around, what danger would I be in?" She was surprised by her own words.
Had she become so reliant on him?
Since when had this started...
"Since you know that you wouldn’t be in danger with me around, why did you bring so many people? What if you encountered a cruel person next time, and during the escape, you got hit...."
Blah blah blah.
Yu Jingting started his lecture. It was eerily similar to how Suizi would lecture during class, non-stop.
At this point, Suizi felt eerily similar to Yu Jingting during her lectures in class, her mind wandered elsewhere.
She was thinking about everything, but not listening to his nagging.
So this is what it feels like to love someone, to believe in them blindly, and to empathize when they’re in a dangerous situation.
After Yu Jingting spent five minutes lecturing about pregnancy safety, he looked up, only to almost petrify with anger.
The woman wrapped in the quilt who only showed her head, had vacant eyes and a slight smile on her lips – an expression he was familiar with. This was the look he wore when he daydreamed in her class!
"Chen Hansui! Repeat everything I just said!"
Karma. Every scolding she’d given him in class, he was now returning.
