Chapter 92: The Combination Where One Plus One Is Greater Than Two (Monthly Ticket + Update)
"You want to accompany me to the neighboring village?!" Yu Jingting’s gaze slid down, landing on her still inconspicuous, albeit pudgy, pregnant belly.
It takes at least an hour’s walk to travel between the two villages, two hours round trip, especially in this weather, with roads filled with snow. Carrying one’s "egg" around?
"No need to go that far, Jingting. Have you ever heard of a proclamation? Before battling bandits, an official announcement has to be issued. Each word as sharp as a knife, the momentum as dramatic as a rainbow."
"You want to involve the village chief?" Yu Jingting looked worried. "Isn’t this like ’telling the parents’? What would it look like if the news got out, like I’m afraid of them?!"
"Uncle going there would just be a waste of time. The village chief will most likely defend his own people. However, once Uncle comes back from there, whatever you decide to do next will be justified. I’ve thought it through carefully. Their goal is definitely not just the rabbits. I guess, you’ve thought of that already."
"How did you know?" Yu Jingting’s heart was taken aback by this woman’s wisdom, which was a bit tickling.
"During dinner, I pondered over and over to figure it out. I am slow to react, but even I could figure it out. With your quick reactions, surely you’d have known what’s going on the moment something happened."
Suizi appeared somewhat sheepish.
Although she had a lifetime more experience than Yu Jingting, her reaction speed was a trait she was born with, and in this regard, she indeed fell short of Yu Jingting.
Yu Jingting’s interest was piqued by more than the domestic setting. His blood was filled with a sense of exhilaration, unrelated to hormones, purely deriving from the attraction of a like-minded high-intellect peer.
"Tell me what I thought." He was curious about just how well this woman knows him.
