Chapter 28: My Name is A Gift From You
Chapter 28: Chapter 28: My Name is A Gift From You
When the topic of changing names came up, Yu Jingting was obviously getting impatient.
"It’s alright, if you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t. I don’t like forcing people. But, hey, could you sell the braid you cut off for me later?"
In town, people buy hair. Suizi’s black and long braid could be sold for at least a few dollars, the hair collected could be used to make wigs for export.
"On purpose?" Was she trying to make him feel guilty?
"Not at all. It’s to buy pork ribs for Jiaojiao." Suizi had a triumphant glint in her eyes.
This sly expression, coupled with her pure appearance, caused Yu Jingting to lick his back molar, his gaze growing gradually dangerous.
Suizi was intently waiting for him to uncover the secret when suddenly, she felt a numb at her back.
Caught off guard, he pushed her against the door and startled her.
"Have you lost your mind, Yu Tiegen?"
"Yes, I’ve gone mad." Was there a problem in going crazy when he saw her?
Pressing the back of her head, he leaned down to bite her petal-like lips. Every time she mumbled, he wanted to do just that.
Suizi felt that he must have the demeanor of a puppy, a wolf pup with newly grown teeth to be precise, always wanting to bite something as his teeth were itchy.
There was practically no area on her body that he did not bite, especially fond of biting her lip bead.
Suizi has a small bead on her upper lip, not noticeable usually, but extraordinarily delicate when she smiles.
Seeing how much he liked it ever since he discovered it, Yu Tiegen would grab every opportunity to take a few bites.
The hot breath made Suizi feel dizzy. She caught his collar, not knowing whether to push him away or pull him closer. This adorable reaction could not escape the cunning man.
The sound of laughter, mixed with warmth, blew into her petite ears. Suizi blushed and began to hit him with small fists.
"If you tinker any further, I’ll tell our mother!"
Wang Cuihua was worried that Yu Jingting might not be able to control himself and might harm the baby, so she had sequestered him in the courtyard early in the morning to give him a good scolding.
"I didn’t penetrate, not doing anything else."
"Get out!" Suizi felt the urge to peer into his brain, wondering if its color was different from others’.
Her kicking up a fuss only egged him on further.
Yu Jingting found that the tiny wife in front of him was as enticing as ripe osmanthus, fragrant and seductive. Her big watery eyes looking at him pitifully while her little claws scratched him with neither pain nor itch.
Wasn’t this stoking the fire?
Yu Jingting took a step back, eyeing her now beep-red lip bead, declaimed cruelly:
"Stop teasing me if you don’t want to!"
"???" What did she tease?!
Just bluffing didn’t douse his anger, so he pointed at her tiny nose and threatened viciously:
"I will deal with you sooner or later!"
Suizi was left speechless.
Obviously, he was the one who acted out his drama, not to mention the nonsense he made up in his mind. Yet, he dared to threaten her, trying to play the victim?
Yu Jingting didn’t dare stay in the room any longer. He thought that Chen Hansui was like a flower spirit, standing seductively without doing anything.
He fetched a basin of cold water, washed his face to calm down. If he didn’t manage to calm down, something really might happen.
"Don’t shake! Wipe!" Suizi timely handed a towel. She found men lived too roughly.
Washing face with icy water in such cold weather, and after washing, he shook like a puppy. How did he survive til this day?
"You haven’t spoken about the name thing."
Yu Jingting muttered an expletive, realizing this little goblin was particularly tenacious. They’d gone round in circles, yet she was still hung up on the name thing.
Badgered by Suizi, with great reluctance, he could only confess the truth behind his name change.
"You told my mother-in-law that Yu Tiegen sounds like ’Yu Dagen’, and there’s a country that calls a carrot a ’Da Gen’."
"Did I say that?"
Suizi thought hard but couldn’t remember.
"You said it when you just entered junior high.
Suizi remembered it. Indeed, there was such a thing. Her family had a few foreign books, she came across it and casually made a sarcastic comment. But what?!
"When I was chatting with my mother in the courtyard, how could you hear?"
Was I supposed to tell you that I was peeing outside your home and happened to overhear it? Yu Jingting concealed the truth, putting on a very virtuous face.
"You insulted my name. You had the audacity to despise my name, now see what befalls you in my hands?" In his imagination, Yu Jingting had cruelly ’bully’ her, his face washed with cold water had heated up again.
"I wasn’t despising your name, I was despising you. Why do you always tug my braid?"
He seemed to enjoy bullying her since they were little. Even when they walked in a line without talking, he would tug at her braid. He didn’t mess with other girls, only had a special fondness for her braid.
"Not just that, when you were in the second year of junior high, you told your classmate that the name Tiegen sounds like a vagabond from an underground novel, little girl, have you been reading underground books?"
Suizi’s face flushed.
She didn’t voluntarily read it. Her mom had a few of them stashed in a lower room, she flipped through them with a critical eye, no other intentions.
Using the word ’Gen’ in classical literature, doesn’t usually paint a good scene.
"Wait, it’s not about whether I read underground novels or not, how were you eavesdropping on my conversations with my classmates?!"
Was he a ghost?
Everywhere?
Haha, while fixing fertilizer in the cornfield, I happened to overhear— could he say this? Yu Jingting smirked. He was looking at her with judgmental eyes, making her feels guilty!
Insulting his name, comparing it to a carrot and a vagabond from the underground novel, which man could tolerate this?
That very night, Yu Jingting scaled over the wall into the Chen family courtyard, rolled up and stole the "Three Hundred Tang Poems" placed under the tree.
After flipping through the entire book, he finally chose the words ’Jingting’.
The sense of a literate man fell on him immediately. With the annotated explanation of the poetry below the name, Yu Jingting decided this was the name.
Mainly because, it was auspicious.
Unwearied at each other’s sight, Only Jingting Mountain. After changing his name, the girl got married to him after a few years. Importantly, unwearied at each other’s sight.
Only he could read the superstitious flavor of classical poetry.
"With all the mischief you stir, could you find fault with this? Will you stop saying that my name sounds like an underground novel?"
After holding back for several years, there was finally a chance to make use of his speech. Yu Jingting expressed, he perked up!
"Tiegen, Jingting...?"
As Suizi repeated the names, they turned into a pun.
Her face reddened when she realized, this, this, didn’t it still sound like an underground novel?
Afraid of him detecting her little ideas, she glanced at him sneakily. He seemed to have gone off into his wicked world again, laughing with a smug face.
Probably not very pleasant words.
With self-awareness, Suizi steered clear and did not ask. This guy was real trouble.
In the afternoon, the brick wall at old Zhang’s house was completed.
Li Youcai brought the last bit of money from home and went to the city to get a pair of new glasses.
With his new glasses on, Li Youcai felt the world had brightened. Jumping down from the cart, his eyes drifted towards the Yu family, he needed to find a chance to meet and talk to Suizi.
As Li Youcai was thinking, he suddenly saw darkness.
A familiar burlap bag was plopped over his head.
Li Youcai: ???
