I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 24: What is your regret?

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: What is your regret?

The dog stopped barking, and Suizi’s heart pounded with anxiety.

These few seconds of waiting for the result were anxious and long.

Finally, flickering lights made their way through gaps in the fence. With Yu Jingting’s greetings, the sword hanging over Suizi’s heart fell heavily.

Her insides twisted in pain. She couldn’t stop her body from trembling slightly, thinking about the fear she felt when Li Youcai pushed her off the mountain.

From Li Youcai’s abnormal reaction, she guessed that he might have been reborn too.

After confirming her guess, Suizi found that all the mental preparations she had made were in vain.

Her heart was filled with anger, discontent, and restlessness. The thought of avenging her enemy grew uncontrollably.

A powerful wave of hatred came crashing, taut like a tight bow, wishing to pierce Li Youcai’s heart with a thousand arrows.

"Damn, how dare this scumbag actually show up?" Yu Jingting’s cursing voice pulled Suizi from her hatred.

"You stay inside the house, I’ll go and teach him a lesson right now!" If he doesn’t beat the shit out of Li Youcai, he won’t come back!

Suizi’s hand laid on his shoulder, shaking slightly, yet full of strength.

"Don’t go."

"???" Yu Jingting didn’t understand.

In the daytime, didn’t she enjoy watching him beat Li Youcai?

Why can’t he beat him when he’s asking for it?

"Don’t go, absolutely not, don’t..." Suizi used all her strength to say this sentence.

Just as Yu Jingting was about to ask, he saw Suizi under the moonlight, pale as a ghost. She was biting her lip tightly, panting, with large sweat beads running down her forehead, and her lips were bitten by her.

"Suizi, what’s wrong with you? Suizi!" Yu Jing rushed to hold her, prying her lips open with his hands.

"Don’t go... don’t let him know that we see him," Suizi said and then fainted.

The huge emotional stimulus overburdened her. She made a rational judgment while surrounded by hatred, and stopped Yu Jingting from reacting, relying on her extraordinary self-control and maturity made from her past life.

She knew what was best for the big picture.

Yu Jingting was frightened when Suizi passed out. He ran to the east room to wake up Wang Cuihua.

Wang Cuihua was also scared enough. She was afraid that something would happen to Suizi. She stayed to take care of Suizi while Yu Jingting went out to find the village doctor.

Li Youcai squatted next to the west wall of the old Yu Family, burning paper. This place, to him, is not just a sad place, but also a frightening one. As he was burning the paper, he muttered under his breath:

"Suizi, I owe you a life in my last life. But, isn’t that all in the past? People should look ahead and not always focus on the past. If you hate me, you will become a resentful ghost. You won’t be able to reincarnate, isn’t it a shame?"

"Just reincarnate quickly, and I’ll burn more paper for you. We can be even then. Rest assured, in this life, I will treat ’you’ of this timeline well. There can’t be two ’Suizi’s. What use is it for you to stick around?"

When he first started mumbling, Li Youcai felt a little guilty, after all, he owes Suizi a life. But as he continued, he got angrier.

"If you had agreed to be with me, would I have killed you? Who are you to blame for not wanting to live?"

"Be sensible, reincarnate yourself. I can even burn more paper money for you. If you still make me unlucky, I will call a daoist to take you away and let you be a ghost for eternity!"

The remaining firelight illuminated Li Youcai’s distorted face. A gust of wind blew, stirring up the half-burned paper money, sticking it to Li Youcai’s face. He hopped around, burnt by the heat.

The lights in the old Yu family’s house turned on. One moment ago, Li Youcai, who was threatening an invisible "ghost", got scared upon seeing a living person. He was even more afraid of seeing Yu Jingting, looking like a mouse seeing a cat. He couldn’t forget how miserable his death was in his previous life, and all thanks to Yu Jingting!

The door of the Yu Family opened, Yu Jingting rushed out, putting on his cotton-padded jacket while running. Li Youcai, hiding in the darkness, watched carefully, not daring to even breathe.

"Don’t forget to tell Wang Ming to bring the medicine box!" Wang Cuihua came out and shouted at Yu Jingting’s receding figure.

"Got it, you go back and take care of Suizi!" Yu Jingting’s voice came from afar. In a blink of an eye, he had run quite a distance, enough to show his concern.

Li Youcai finally understood.

Wang Ming is the only doctor in the village. Looking for the doctor in the middle of the night, it must be that Suizi got sick.

It was only when Wang Cuihua entered the house that Li Youcai stood up. He looked at the extinguished fire, cold sweat covering his body.

"It seems that Auntie Si’s prediction was right. As I burn the paper here, Suizi has a reaction. I cannot deny this profound metaphysics."

Having said that, he collected the paper money that had not finished burning, casually lit it to burn the rest, and made an irreverent salute to the ashes.

"Suizi, rest assured and reincarnate. I have lived this life in regret. I will definitely treat ’you’ of this timeline well. Please bless me to marry you quickly. I don’t mind you having been with Yu Jingting."

Another gust of wind blew, stirring the ashes everywhere, like mockery, like disdain.

Suizi faintly saw the scene of her death.

"Suizi, do you have any regrets in this life?" Up in the mountains, Li Youcai asked Suizi.

"No." Suizi’s answer was somewhat hesitant and unsure.

She didn’t make it big in her career, but she was economically independent with cars and houses and dozens of employees in her hands.

Solid and honest, diligently fulfilling the social mission of an entrepreneur, supporting the policies of superiors, operating legally and paying taxes, she is a good boss in the mouths of employees and a good mother in her son’s heart.

This seemingly perfect life always lacks something.

Every day she woke up feeling unusually tired. The doctor said her depression was severe. So she chose to hold the company’s team-building event in the mountain, hoping to wash her tired heart with the power of nature.

"You need a man. What do you think about me?" Li Youcai was always swigging saliva as he spoke, a calculating light flashing in his eyes.

"I’ve answered this question many times, I’ll never be with you in this life. And, I don’t need a man."

What men can do, she can. What men can’t do, she can. She can live well on her own.

If Li Youcai continues to be stubborn, she will consider kicking him out of the company.

Her gaze for on a corner of the mountains, where there were a lot of hazelnut trees.

Remote memories floated to the surface of her heart. In the only short marriage she ever had, her husband picked a large basket of hazelnuts for her.

The fresh hazelnut kernels were crispy. Suizi thought of Yu Jingting as soon as she saw the hazelnut trees, but his figure was so vague.

"Youcai, do you remember what Yu Jingting looked like?" She couldn’t remember what Yu Jingting looked like anymore.

There was silence behind her. Suizi turned around, and she saw Li Youcai’s ferocious face.

He thrust her hard, and Suizi, caught by surprise, was thrown into the air.

"Go to hell. I will take your ashes back to the ancestral mansion of the Yu family. You want to see Yu Jingting? I will give you a good view! Do you know he looked for you all those years? You didn’t know because you’re a cold-blooded woman. Besides yourself, what else is in your heart?"
