The wounded dog she picked up in the ditch recovered quite well, so Jiang Youyou decided to keep it as a pet. She named it as Huang Hu (Yellow Tiger), believing it would be easier to breed if it had a humble name.
It was well-behaved. It could go out for a walk all by itself every day and came back in time. Usually it would stay in the courtyard and never went into the room without having a bath.
Tonight Yellow Tiger slept in the living room. The dog could also have a dream, and snore. When it dreamt, its paws twitched.
“You would certainly be a good husband later. If we marry, how will you name your child?” Jiang Youyou rubbed her eyes, not knowing how she could speak out in such a sudden impulse.
“I’ll tell you a joke, so stop crying. You must have nightmares again. You have no parents, I have, and precisely, they will be your parents in the future.” In his university days Dai Jingcheng had read a novel about an orphan, which seemed to be titled as “The Dressed-up Beast”. On such a night as tonight, one could just make use of the lines in that book, which was exactly consistent with the situation.
“So quickly tell me your joke.” Jiang Youyou turned over and held Dai Jingcheng with her arms from the back in the dark. Frankly speaking, he could be considered as a handsome man at the second glance, who had tight and upturned hips. Jiang Youyou thought that the winter was coming and it was necessary to have a boyfriend who needn’t to be very handsome. A too handsome boyfriend tended to be poached by others. A healthy, funny and money-making boyfriend would be good enough.
By money-making she meant he could earn enough money to afford the daily life of both. Then being in good health was very important, otherwise how could he accompany you to your old days? It was rare and precious to be funny, and especially important to be able to tell cool jokes.
Anyway, she couldn’t fall asleep, and should it be a kind of happiness to have a man lying in bed to tell her jokes with pleasant voice, a man who didn’t suffer from STD, who was not a john and who was not afraid to be accused of committing adultery with her.
“A 16-year-old girl had finally got a chance to take part in a ball. Since she was very beautiful, she was a little nervous to think what she should do if a boy wanted to have sex with her. Her mother said, ‘It’s too simple! Once a boy began to come up with such an idea, you can just ask him what name he is going to give to your child, then he would be scared away.’ So the girl went to the ball and danced with a boy. By and by the boy began to kiss her, then fondled her. When she asked him how he was going to name their child, the boy began to make excuses and escaped. After a while, the same thing happened again-another boy began to kiss her neck and shoulder, she stopped him and asked him about the name he was going the give to their child, he ran away. Later, the third boy invited her for a walk. In a few minutes he began to kiss her and she asked her, ‘What are you going to name our child later?’ He continued and took off her clothes. ‘What are you going to name our child later?’ she asked again, while he began to have sex with her. ‘What are you going to name our child later?’ She asked him for a third time. He took off a condom from his penis and tied a knot and said, ‘If it can get out of this, we can name it David Copperfield!'”
“Ha ha ha!” Jiang Youyou laughed loudly. She was too easily amused.
“As for my next joke, you surely will laugh so much as to fall down from the bed. Do you believe it?” Hearing her laughter, Dai Jingcheng felt he was even happier than her.
Forgot who had said this: the one falling in love must be either mad or silly, he/she must be either a poet or a writer who would fantasize himself/herself as a killer to dismember his/her love rival or to kill himself/herself when he/she fell out of love.
At first Dai Jingcheng didn’t find himself a talented joker. Everyone is an ordinary individual, but the ordinary individual becomes extraordinary when he/she comes up with his/her beloved. Each love story begins with a plot that the lovers tend to treat each other as his/her child and take meticulous care of each other. They are eager to be with each other in every minute of each hour of the twenty-four hours of the day.
When Dai Jingcheng had spent a long period with Jiang Youyou he found she had very heavy shadows in her mind. Actually orphans were mostly self-abased and sensitive. They tended to be moody with old memories or special circumstances. Dai had trained a lot to tell a joke, even when he was back home he exercised to tell jokes to his parents. At first no one would laugh on his jokes except himself and finally everyone couldn’t help laughing when he was telling a joke with him as an exception. He even reached this highest state that everyone would try to find a lightning rod or a quilt after he had finished one joke.
If you can, just fall in love with someone. Enjoy the reproductive organs and the happiest desire in the bottom of your heart that the heaven gives you as gifts.
Now Jiang Youyou was all the more sleepless. She wanted to listen to the jokes.
Dai Jingcheng cleared her throat and began to play his trump by telling a joke, which, he said, had made his parents and younger sister all laughed heartily when he was having dinner with the family. He wondered whether Jiang Youyou could get the essence of the joke.
“There was a man who had a feminine sharp voice, and due to this he couldn’t find a woman to marry to. He went to the hospital for an examination to see if his voice could be changed. After the examination, the doctor said, ‘The God is fair when He creates everything. You have thin vocal cords because your penis is long and thick. If you’re ready to cut it off, you can have man’s voice.'”
Jiang Youyou didn’t think the joke was that funny.
While Dai Jingcheng continued, “The man thought for a moment and felt that the loss would outweigh the gain, and he gave up. Later the man went to swim in the sea. Suddenly he found a shark swimming towards him, he shouted loud anxiously…”
Dai Jingcheng changed into a very thin and delicately pretty voice to cry, “Help! Help!”
Then he changed into another loud and rough voice, “Shark is coming!!”
Jiang Youyou was stunned into silence for about thirty seconds and then burst into laughter, rolling left and right in the bed, almost falling down to the ground.
Yellow Tiger the dog sleeping in the living room barked a few barks impatiently, as if to say “Why didn’t you go to bed in such later hours. You’re too noisy.”
Most people who got dumped by their love couldn’t go to sleep at night, while happy people always went asleep early. Of course, there would be exceptional examples-some would lose sleep because of their happiness.
At last Jiang Youyou felt sleepy, because she was exhausted after Dai Jingcheng’s long-lasting sexual desire and her own burning passion, which were the best way to put one to sleep. One would sweat and feel tired after making love, then one would take a hot bath, making herself smell pleasantly, and held the man she loved in her arms to go to sleep together. At this time Jiang Youyou would feel satisfied. She wouldn’t feel afraid even if a ghost would appear.
Hug your beloved tightly, when he was still alive. Love always began abruptly without a reason but there was always an excuse for the ending of it.
