A Wife Is Hard to Find

She spent three years pursuing him. When it was his turn to pursue her, it took him a lifetime. When they met, she was still an immature little girl, while he was already in high school. In his eyes, she was like a loach in a filthy ditch. Apart from being reasonably pretty, there wasn't a single thing about her that he liked. For three years, from the moment she declared she would marry him, she followed quietly at his heels. She tried every trick, both fair and foul, but never got what she wanted. In the end, his indifference wounded her, and she finally chose to let go. When they met again, she was like a fairy untouched by the mortal world, barefoot and loose-haired, sitting cross-legged on the lawn and counting seashells. Everything seemed just as it had been, but she no longer remembered him... “Are you pregnant?” A certain man looked at a certain woman, full of hope. After a long, hesitant pause, the woman let the air out of his sails. “The doctor says it's just bloating.” The man privately believed the doctor's conscience had been eaten by a dog. Years later, though, he learned it wasn't the doctor's conscience that had been eaten by a dog, but someone's heart! “Sir, Miss says she wants duck meat,” the old steward hurried in to report. The man asked without a second thought, “Are we out of ducks?” “We do have some, but...” The old steward hesitated, unsure whether he should say more. “If we have them, what are you waiting for?” The man's expression darkened. The old steward hurried off to make arrangements. A moment later, the man suddenly realized what was going on, jumped up, and rushed to his daughter's room... She said that meeting him was her most painful lesson. He said that his most painful lesson was hearing her say those words! You can ignore the blurb. This is really just a story about a cute little darling tormenting a high-and-mighty man. Here are some of the author's older books on Tianya.
