I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 990: It Can’t Always Be What You Want

Chapter 990: Chapter 990: It Can’t Always Be What You Want

The couple had a tacit understanding not to mention Fan Huang’s name.

This was a battlefield for the two of them as a couple, there was no need to drag the older generation into it.

The couple talked about business for a while, and Yu Jingting said Suizi just listened, offering a cup of tea at the right moments when he seemed tired of talking.

The fragrant tea wafted through the air, creating a misty and lingering atmosphere.

The most vexing problems seemed to disappear in the ether as Yu Jingting held his wife contentedly in his arms, eyes closed and heavy with sleep. Just then, he heard her ask as if it were an afterthought:

"Don’t you feel any regrets?"

"What?" he opened one eye.

She lay on his arm like a little kitten.

"With someone like you, having only me as a woman, do you have any regrets?"

It would be one thing if he had no other options, but with Yu Jingting’s conditions, wanting a harem wouldn’t be too much.

"... Digging pits again," Yu Jingting said with his eyes closed, tightening his arm around her slightly, which made her head rest snugly against his smooth chest.

"Not all men turn bad when they get money. I have higher pursuits."

"Oh?" Suizi opened her eyes, her smile shallow, looking unsurprised.

"You should read less of those messy books in future. The authors who write that stuff, how many wealthy men have they ever seen? He isn’t even a wealthy man himself, what right does he have to guess the psychology of the wealthy? Just because he’s seen a few, he dares to write a book? The last one who thought like that was the frog at the bottom of the well."

Suizi pouted; she hadn’t managed to keep it from him after all.

Recently, she had casually brought a book back from the library, written by a foreign psychologist. Opening to the first page, it boldly stated that the desire for extramarital affairs flows in the blood of every man.

She was flipping through the book just as Yu Jingting happened to walk by, and he must have glimpsed it.

"Compared to so-called physical thrills, I prefer a spiritual connection, go to sleep—unless your restless little waist can take another round."

"Isn’t that still pursuing excitement?"

"Kids make choices, I want it all!" he said. He had only mentioned he "preferred" a spiritual connection, but had not said he didn’t want to have an exciting time with his wife.

The threat in his voice was clear, so Suizi hurriedly closed her eyes obediently. The medicinal wine shouldn’t go to waste.

She felt a sweet satisfaction pondering over what he had said.

A spiritual connection—this was the answer she wanted. A man with higher pursuits was worth her effort in preparing a comfortable mattress to reward him.

And to reward her poor little waist...

Suizi thought before sleeping that her man was the best man in the world, worth more than gold. She showered his forehead with kisses, unable to let go of her intense affection.

Her utmost affection was ruthlessly shredded the next day when returning the book by the librarian with glasses with thick lenses.

"Student, you must take care of the books you borrow," read the implied message in the librarian’s eyes: Taking pride in caring for books, and shame in damaging them!

Suizi wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

The dubious, generalizing statement that had sparked the debate between the couple was marked by Yu Jingting with a red X, and had a note beside it: "The author is a big idiot, croak croak croak from the bottom of his well."

He had even made it rhyme!

Laughter came from behind Suizi; the onlooking students were all amused.

Suizi’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly paid to buy the damaged book.

Suizi actually disagreed with the author’s generalization as well, condemning all men with one statement.

The book itself conveyed the author’s personal values.

Even if the works that survive the test of time have their merits, not all perspectives are correct, and should be viewed dialectically.

Not everything printed on paper represents the correct values.

But even if she didn’t agree with the author’s view, vandalizing a book was unacceptable behavior!

Thinking about how Yu Jingting would often tear books and scribble all over them, Suizi’s forehead was covered with metaphorical black lines.

Just now, there were so many classmates returning books, so many saw the "quack quack quack" he wrote, and Suizi suffered a massive social death, feeling her face grow hotter the more she thought about it.

She decided to keep this "evidence of crime" and wait for Jingting to come back in the evening to have a good talk with him!

Let him write doggerel, he’s so willing to write poetry, why doesn’t he join the Writer’s Association!

Suizi left the school and walked home. She had no classes in the afternoon, the Tutor was out of town for a meeting, so she packed up her work and took it home to do.

Today she didn’t ride her bicycle, preoccupied with gripping the book and grinding her teeth in irritation, not paying attention to the person in front of her.

She bumped into them head-on.

"I’m sorry," Suizi apologized.

While apologizing, Suizi also moved to the side, intending to walk around.

She moved to the left, and so did the other person.

Suizi moved right, and the person did the same.

Suizi looked at the other person, an unfamiliar man with a sharp face and shifty eyes.

Suizi stepped back, but the man suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"You bump into me and just walk away?"

"What else?" Suizi felt some panic, trying to struggle out of the man’s grasp, but he held on tighter.

"You’ve bumped right into my heart, you need to stay with me to make up for it!"

Suizi felt goosebumps all over, her disgust even greater than her fear. She only wanted to say one thing, "There is no limit to the oil sea, turning back is the shore."

This rascal blocking the way was not only greasy in speech; he even started singing!

"Ever since I saw you by the river of longing~ it’s like a spring breeze blowing right into my heart~"

A perfectly good song, coming from this man’s mouth, turned into a greasy, nauseating, repelling, and vile existence.

Coupled with his yellowed teeth and a self-proclaimed romantic expression, the breakfast in Suizi’s stomach began to churn.

"I want to tell you softly~ don’t forget me—ow!!"

The rascal, eyes closed singing emotionally, didn’t see Suizi seize the opportunity and kick him in the tender spot.

The man let out a shriek like a slaughtered pig, Suizi broke free, and took off running.

"You nasty woman! If you don’t drink a toast you must drink a forfeit, I won’t let you get away with this!"

Suizi ran with all her might.

The word "woman" often used by Jingting, when spoken by this rascal, had a completely different feeling.

Just as the rascal was about to catch Suizi, suddenly, a ball fell from the sky, accompanied by a robust cry:

"Let go of my sister (mom)!"

Chen Tong and Dongdong appeared together.

The two kids were heading home together for lunch after school, and when they saw Suizi being chased, they immediately came over to protect her.

The kids were only half-grown, both shorter than the rascal, but fueled by youthful vigor, they were fearless. One bent over to pick up a brick, the other grabbed a tree branch, and, like two little hungry wolves, they pounced forward howling.

The rascal’s task was merely to block Suizi’s way, to scare her with a few words, to sing half a verse, after which someone else would take over and he could end his act.

But he’d only sung a few lines before two small warriors barged in, both fierce!

Chen Tong jabbed the man in the stomach with the tree branch, and Dongdong followed up, raised the brick and slammed it down on his shoulder.

The rascal howled in pain, "Boss! You have to reimburse me!"

"What are you hollering about? Audacious villain! I want your life!"

Wielding the brick, Dongdong felt like he was Nezha from ’The Investiture of the Gods’, turning the brick in his hand into Nezha’s universe ring!
