Chapter 785: Chapter 785: You Must Know What You Want (Monthly Vote + More)
"Yanan, stop crying." Suizi gently patted Liu Yanan’s back.
"Yeah, if you keep hugging my wife like this, she’ll be the one crying." Yu Jingting thought to himself, fearing that this plump woman might squeeze his wife unconscious.
Suizi cast him an annoyed look, fearing that Yu Jingting might say something provocative, she signaled him to leave.
Yu Jingting sulked.
When he was needed to mediate disputes, he was just a tool.
Now that he wasn’t needed, they considered him a nuisance.
Suizi begged him with her eyes, and only then did Yu Jingting leave, humming as he took the kids to play in the courtyard.
"Sorry, Suizi. I’ve caused you trouble. If I knew he was like this, I wouldn’t have suggested living at your house." Liu Yanan sobbed uncontrollably.
Suizi, still in the main room, didn’t know why the couple was fighting. But seeing Liu Yanan saying that, she could guess somewhat.
"It’s normal for friends to help each other. He has a sick member at home, it’s understandable that his mood is not good."
"But he’s been like this even before his father got sick. I’ve been lying to myself, thinking that his mood is unstable because taking care of the elderly is very taxing. But now I see that’s not the case."
After sobbing on Suizi for a while, Liu Yanan felt a little better. She touched her beaten face, her heart heavy with sadness.
She followed him from her hometown, leaving her job behind, just to take care of his father. And he dared to hit her.
"I can’t understand it. In school, he wasn’t like this. How could he change so much? When we were dating, he spoke about his dreams and ambitions. I thought he was a dependable person, with a grand vision. But now..."
"Um--"
Suizi wanted to say that those so-called intellectuals, who mouthed revolutionary ideals, were quick to run away when they were really needed to do some real work.
Some people often claim, ’If I had money, I would donate a lot.’ They only make these claims because they have nothing at all.
The moment you ask them to donate, they wouldn’t want to part with a cent.
But at a time like this when the couple was quarreling, Suizi couldn’t possibly say anything bad about them. If the two made up later, it would reflect badly on her.
She could only offer some comfort, coax Liu Yanan for a while until she recovered her composure. By then, it was already almost eight o’clock.
Yu Jingting was pacing outside the window, reminding Suizi not to overstrain her freshly recovered memory.
"Chatting with you has made me feel a lot better. Go back inside, I can see your husband is worried about you. Suizi, I really envying you for marrying such a perfect partner. You got exactly the kind of person you wanted to marry. How lucky you are."
"Well, not exactly."
Suizi thought about her experience of losing her memory these past few days, her juvenile standards for choosing a partner suddenly became crystal clear, it was such a laughable idea.
"My Jingting was a well-known troublemaker in our area when he was young. The contrast between him and the type of guy I imagined to marry when I was in school could not be more stark."
Yu Jingting, who was hinting for her to come back to the room by continuously pacing outside the window, heard what she said.
Darn it... Yu Jingting tasted bile in his mouth. Nice, she won’t have a peaceful night tonight.
"How’s that possible? Isn’t your husband a graduate from Tsinghua University? He must be very intelligent, right?"
"Well, you haven’t seen the diversity at Tsinghua. Yes, he is talented, but he has a hot temper, likes to fight, and is often cursing... In short, he has nothing to do with being an intellectual."
He doesn’t like to study; he could only tolerate illustrated storybooks. His university education was achieved solely due to Suizi’s constant supervision and a series of rewards to lure him into the classroom. He managed to graduate without failing any subjects. Thanks also to his parents for their good genes, were he a bit slower, he wouldn’t have been able to finish school.
Yu Jingting cried out in his heart again. He’s not like an intellectual, who is then? That Dayu character? What a crappy nickname!
If Dayu was so obsessed with his wife, maybe he should put a sack over his head in secret. He’s just a nuisance!
"His grades in the subjects he was interested in were okay. For those he wasn’t, I had to make him study hard before the exams. He barely passed those subjects. Despite this, he proudly announces that his diploma doesn’t show his grades."
Suizi continued berating her own man. Indeed, it was rare to find someone like Yu Jingting who struggled in academics as much as he did. His graduation itself was a blessing, thanks to the kind-hearted professors of those few subjects that didn’t interest him.
"I can’t believe it... but weren’t you the one who hated rowdy boys when we were in school?"
"Did I say I hated rowdy boys? I clearly hated him. You have no idea how annoying he was when we were little. He used to bully me all the time."
Oh, bullying, huh? Fine, he’ll give her a good ’bullying’ tonight.
Yu Jingting was ready to burst into the room to carry away this unfiltered woman. She disparaged her own husband so much, did she really think she could escape retribution tonight just because they romped in the woods during the day?
"But you guys are doing pretty well now. I can see that he takes great care of you. If Shen Jun was half as good as your husband, I wouldn’t be so upset."
"What I want to tell you is exactly this. Because our experience is limited when we are young, we tend to make wrong choices. After growing up, we should know what we want. Even if we don’t know what we want, we should be clear about what we don’t want. Why not give yourself more time to consider before making a decision when you’re unsure?"
This was the greatest insight Suizi gained after losing her memory. She wouldn’t have known how happy she could be if she hadn’t married Yu Jingting and lived a real life with him.
"But what if I’ve tried and found it’s not suitable?"
"I can’t give you advice on emotional matters. But I can share some small insights about life. Yanan, either you continue to put on weight, ensuring that each time he hits you, you could sit on him and crush him. This way, he wouldn’t dare to hit you."
"But the doctor said that if I continue to gain weight, it will be hard for me to get pregnant. We’ve been married for two years now, and his parents are urging us to have a child."
"Are you sure you want to have a child with him?"
Like a bolt from the blue, Suizi’s words took Liu Yanan aback.
In this age of incessant pressures to get married and have children, it was rare for someone to ask such a straightforward and provocative question.
"When we were younger, it’s understandable to make some wrong choices due to our limited experience. As we grow up, we should know what we want. Even if we don’t know what we want, we should at least know what we don’t want. Before you’ve made up your mind, why not give yourself more time to think?"
These words made Liu Yanan think deeply. Suizi stopped here; saying any more might offend her.
She was sure that with Liu Yanan’s intelligence, after some calm deliberation, she would understand what she was implying.
Suizi bid Liu Yanan good night and went out to see a massive figure under the moonlight with a resentment that soared into the heavens.
Yu Jingting saw her coming out but didn’t say a word to her, and quickly made his way into the house.
Suizi could tell at a glance this guy was sulking and hurriedly followed him inside.
Yu Jingting rushed into the bedroom and quickly came out with a pillow in his arms, bumping squarely into Suizi.
"Where are you going this late at night?"
"I’m going to sleep in the hallway. I wouldn’t want to bother you, especially since you’ve hated me from a young age. Because of me, you even began to detest guys like me. I won’t bother you with my annoying presence."
His words were full of finality. But his pace was no faster than those of a snail, and his face seemed to carry an unspoken plea: Comfort me now!
