120: Chapter 101 I’ll Beat You to Death 120: Chapter 101 I’ll Beat You to Death The first update is here; another will follow. ————————- It was barely eight o’clock at night, and the streets were already deadly silent. She remembered her era when nightlife was just beginning at this time. Staring out of the window, Chuxia felt helpless and powerless. She asked him why he thought she should marry him. He said that since she dared come to him even after knowing what had happened in his family, then she must be prepared to face the consequences. His family had already clearly stated they would no longer push him, no longer force him, yet he still made her bear such consequences. That was too impolite, too domineering, and too dismissive! Moreover, she was only seventeen! Did he really not feel any psychological barriers? Marrying a girl ten years his junior, could he truly claim he had no psychological barriers? In front of his family, she couldn’t ask him whether he liked her or anything like that. She could only play dumb; whatever he said, she didn’t respond. She believed that once they left his home and the time passed, he would change his mind. Dinner was at his place, and the atmosphere was grim. After the meal, everyone dispersed quickly, even Zeng Meili, who had come with her, had disappeared. As for Zhou Hanliang, he had run off before the meal was over. She wanted to run too, but, unfamiliar with the place and without anyone to guide her, she didn’t dare to flee. One by one, they had no loyalty! Well, it’s not like they were very close to her, and maybe there really wasn’t any loyalty to speak of, but—they were at least her superiors, and should take some responsibility, right? How could they shamelessly dump her, a young girl, to face on her own the terrifying man even they were afraid to provoke? Sigh, the truth was, they really could do so without shame... With a sigh, Chuxia’s gaze retreated from the window, and she glanced at the brigade commander Tongzi, who drove with a solemn face, and sighed again quietly. He glared at her, “What are you sighing about at such a young age?” “Commander, aren’t you a bit too old to be acting this petulant?” “Who said I’m petulant?” he frowned, “Where did you see that I am petulant?” Grinding her teeth, Chuxia asked, “Then do you like me?” “I like you.” The reply was quite prompt. Did he really understand what she meant? Chuxia rolled her eyes inwardly, “What I mean is, do you have the kind of feelings a man has for a woman towards me?” “Am I not a man and you not a woman?” Did this person really not understand? Chuxia had to be more straightforward, “Do you feel your heart race when you see me?” “If my heart doesn’t beat, can I live?” Flip the table! Chuxia was truly infuriated. Was there such a person? She didn’t believe he couldn’t understand what she was saying. If he still didn’t get it after she’d been so direct, he must be an idiot with comprehension issues! Could an idiot become a commander? “Zhou Mikang, don’t play dumb with me. Dare you swear you don’t know what I’m asking?” Glancing at the bristled little kitten, Zhou Mikang’s lips finally twisted into what looked like a smile, “Lin Chuxia, are you so unwilling to marry me?” “If you truly like me, wholeheartedly want to marry me...” Chuxia’s face turned red as she paused for a long time before continuing, “Then, maybe marrying you wouldn’t be unacceptable. But the reality is, you’re just fed up with your family pressuring you and looking for anyone to resolve the immediate problem. That’s... that’s unfair to me! Yes, with your background, if you really forced me to marry you, then I would have no choice but to comply. But I would look down on you! Forever!” “Now, in your eyes, I’m no different from Xue Ligang, right?” “You’re worse than him!” At this point, Chuxia was all in. She was just a post-90s girl, spoiled from birth, unaccustomed to hardship. It was already her limit to endure this long before erupting.” Zhou Mikang nodded, “Hmm, I guess I am worse than him, because my rank is higher, my family background is stronger, and if I chose, a line of girls would queue up to marry me. Yet, I insist on forcing a girl who doesn’t like me to marry me. That’s shameless, right?” This was very clear! Chuxia didn’t try to hide her disapproval as she gave him a thumbs-up without making a sound. “That’s just your thinking, it doesn’t mean I think the same way,” Zhou Mikang’s face darkened, “I’ve asked you before, you joined the army to make life better for your parents, right?” Chuxia nodded affirmatively, “Right!” “So, how do you plan to make their life better?” She had thought about this countless times, and Chuxia naturally replied, “Perform well, switch to being a volunteer soldier or apply to military school. Later, I can bring them over and not let them be bullied anymore.” Zhou Mikang gave her a dismissive glance, “That’s your idea, but have you considered whether they will adapt after leaving their homeland? “So what you’re saying is, I should stop being a soldier and go home?” Chuxia blinked her large eyes, “I see. You mean, if I don’t marry you, I have to go home, right?” Zhou Mikang frowned, “Lin Chuxia, do you have a blockhead or something?” “You’re the one with a blockhead!” Zhou Mikang shook his head helplessly, “Not grown up yet, but sure stubborn. Tell me, Lin Chuxia, why do you always explode like you’ve eaten gunpowder every time you see me? What have I done to you?” “How have you offended me?” Chuxia looked speechless, “Heh... You really have the nerve to ask. If this were ancient times, I’m afraid you’d be the tyrant who kidnaps village girls in broad daylight with your servants!” “Alright, let’s get to the point. Let me put it this way, for your parents, the most important thing is that you marry well. What they want isn’t for you to work hard like a man, bringing them into an unfamiliar place to live.” “I understand...” Chuxia looked enlightened, “You’re saying that if I marry you, it will bring honor to my parents and make them happy, right?” “You’ve finally smartened up. Think about it, if your parents leave their homeland for an unfamiliar place, knowing no one but you, would they truly be happy?” “As long as they are with me, they will be happy.” “Lin Chuxia, can we stick to the issue without being stubborn?” “Who is being stubborn with you?” Chuxia rolled her eyes, “After all is said and done, you just want to prove that what you’re doing is actually for my sake, for my parents’ sake.” “That’s exactly the case,” Zhou Mikang sighed, “Lin Chuxia, don’t think that I’m saying I want to marry you just on a whim. In fact, after knowing all that my family has done, I’ve had this idea. If I told you that I liked you from the first moment I saw you and that I’ve always thought of you and wanted to marry you, I wouldn’t believe it myself. But you have to believe that marrying me, you will get everything you want. You can continue to be a soldier. You don’t have to worry about supporting the family, including your parents’ care in their old age, I will take care of that. Every year, I will accompany you home. Other times, if you want to go home, just go. I will take care of the leave, the travel expenses, and any other expenses. If your parents want to live closer to you, then, buying a house for them will be my responsibility. In short, marrying me, you can eat well and live well, all your wishes can be fulfilled. Beyond that, you will be able to do some things you want to do. You won’t have to worry about which family’s son has taken a liking to you and wants to marry you, nor will you have to worry about being abandoned by the man who married you because you’ve aged. As for those relatives who look down on your parents, from now on, they will only envy your occasional marriage. Lin Chuxia, aren’t these your goals? Think about it, marrying me, isn’t it beneficial in every way and not harmful at all?” It seemed that in his eyes, her being a soldier was just so she could eat well, while his marrying her was tantamount to rescuing her? Taking a deep breath, Chuxia said, “You mean, apart from love, you can give me everything else, right?” “Love, I will give you that too, as long as you have the patience,” he replied. Taking another deep breath, Chuxia tried to suppress the anger welling up inside her, “Why me?” “One, you’re the only girl who’s dared to stand up to me over the years. Two, you’re the only girl who still had no designs on me after learning of my identity. Three, you’re the only girl who’s made me feel that marriage isn’t so bad. Four, you’re the only girl who my family has misunderstood. There are more reasons, but I can’t think of them at the moment.” “I’m only seventeen.” “No problem, I’m old enough. As soon as I report it, we can get married right away.” “I...” Chuxia pronounced each word with deliberation, “I’m not worried about being too young to get married. What I want to know is, are you really okay with marrying a seventeen-year-old girl?” “What’s there to be okay with? Back in ancient times, at your age, you would have been a mother already. Plus, your birthday is in the first lunar month; you could count as eighteen now,” Zhou Mikang said matter-of-factly. “Hmph!” Chuxia didn’t know what to say anymore. She turned her head to the window, ignoring him. She didn’t understand—why were his family members so afraid of him? He was just a muddle-headed fool; what was there to be afraid of? “Let’s settle the matter like this. Write to your parents and ask for their opinion. Before the end of the year, let’s get married. As for whether or not you want to continue in the medical team, it’s up to you. However, with your physique, you really need to exercise more. No, just stay with the medical team first. Once your body is stronger, then consider changing to another place...” Listening to Zhou Mikang’s endless prattle, Chuxia’s repressed anger finally shot to the top of her head, and she suddenly shouted, “Stop the car!” “Screech!” Zhou Mikang reflexively hit the brakes, “What’s the matter?” Chuxia turned around and lunged at him, scratching at his head, “Ow, I’m going to beat you to death! Beat you to death!! Beat you to death!!!” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets.
