Chapter 548: Realistic Choices and a Long Day
After that, neither Yu Nianzhen nor Jiang Yue were in a good mood.
However, they didn’t close the shop.
"Xiaoyue, don’t care what others say." Yu Nianzhen soothed with a concerned look in his eyes.
"Azhen, what do you think about what they said?" Jiang Yue suddenly asked.
Hearing the question, the swordsman didn’t answer right away.
instead, his face turned solemn and he considered the matter seriously.
After a while, he looked at his lover and sighed before he spoke.
"I think life isn’t easy. No one can live without compromises but quality of life is subjective. Some people would rather laugh at the back of a bicycle than cry at the back seat of a BMW."
When Jiang Yue heard that, he burst into laughter.
"How about it? Do you want to laugh at the back of my bicycle?"
"Do you have a bicycle?" Yu Nianzhen asked with a doting smile on his face.
"I don’t have it now but, I can save up to buy it."
"Then I will wait. When you buy a bicycle, I will ride on the back seat and laugh as we watch the scenery pass by."
"Do you promise?"
"It’s a promise."
With that, their mood improved.
However, the two were still thoughtful.
As powerful immortals, more often than not, they could have their cake and eat it too.
Unfortunately, most people couldn’t live like this.
"Realistic choices..." Jiang Yue muttered and sighed.
"What did you say?" Yu Nianzhen questioned.
"Unfortunately, most people are often forced to make realistic choices. Azhen..."
"What’s wrong?"
"Our shop is located at a busy port and our expected earnings are enough to survive. However, this place isn’t safe." Jiang Yue said with a frown on his face.
"My appearance is a bit too eye-catching." Yu Nianzhen also frowned.
They had only opened the snack shop for five days.
However, in those five days, they encountered a lot of trouble.
If things continued as they were, Yu Nianzhen expected they would soon encounter a problem they couldn’t solve.
"The best choice is to move but..."
"We don’t have enough money." Yu Nianzhen concluded.
When they started their mortal life experience, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue didn’t prepare money or necessities.
As a result, they were forced to rely on manual work to save some money to start their business.
Now that they were facing a sudden problem, they didn’t have a backup plan and could only push forward.
"Azhen, we have two options."
"What options?"
"In fact, those guests were not entirely wrong. With your face, it’s easy to enter the entertainment industry. However, the entertainment route will attract a lot of trouble." Jiang Yue frowned and quickly continued.
"Let’s not talk about unspoken rules. Without backing, your choices will be limited. You may be forced to act in intimate scenes or take dramas you don’t want to appear in."
"Before you consider unspoken rules, consider my acting skills." Yu Nianzhen said with a hint of laughter in his dark eyes.
"In the past, actors needed acting skills but lately..." Jiang Yue sighed and Yu Nianzhen understood.
From what Yu Nianzhen knew of the current domestic scene, few sets required good actors.
Instead, most directors looked for traffic celebrities.
Considering that, even if Yu Nianzhen couldn’t act, his face was enough to earn him a small role in a big production drama.
"Let’s not think of the entertainment industry." Yu Nianzhen finally decided.
"I also think entering the entertainment industry is not a good idea. Although stars earn a lot, the danger is more than we can handle."
"What is our second option?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
"Let’s disguise your face with makeup." Jiang Yue said and Yu Nianzhen immediately nodded.
"We run a snack shop and it’s normal for accidents to happen. We can wrap your face with bandages and say hot oil splashed on your face. After a few days, we will remove the bandages but a hideous burn mark will be left on your face."
"Why do you look so happy?" Yu Nianzhen asked when he saw the happy smile on his lover’s face.
"You are seeing things." Jiang Yue denied and Yu Nianzhen couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.
’Am I seeing things?’ Yu Nianzhen wondered and looked at his husband.
However, Jiang Yue still had a big grin and the swordsman couldn’t help but be confused.
’What is this guy thinking?’ He wondered.
"Why are you smiling?" He asked but Jiang Yue burst into laughter and didn’t answer the question.
’Let’s see who will covet my Azhen when her face has a scar.’ Jiang Yue thought with a proud look in his eyes.
"You..."
"We have a customer. Let’s get ready." Jiang Yue said and continued to cook while Yu Nianzhen went to welcome the customer.
After that, the two didn’t encounter other problems.
They cooked, served, and collected money until the shop closed at midnight.
After the last customer left, the two washed the dishes, wiped the tables, and cleaned the floor.
By the time they went to sleep, it was already two in the morning and both were extremely tired.
"I haven’t been this tired for many years." Jiang Yue complained and looked at Yu Nianzhen.
However, seeing the dark circles under his lover’s eyes, he forgot his discomfort and questioned the swordsman.
"Azhen, are you okay?"
"This female body is too frail and fair but I am okay." Yu Nianzhen answered and Jiang Yue chuckled.
"The female cultivators in the cultivation world don’t lose to men in terms of sturdiness."
Hearing that, Yu Nianzhen also laughed.
Although the two had lived in the cultivation world for thousands of years, they didn’t know many female cultivators.
However, the few they knew were extremely powerful and couldn’t be described as frail.
"We have a long day tomorrow and we must wake up early to go to the morning market. Let’s go to sleep." Yu Nianzhen said.
’As a mortal, which day isn’t long?’ Jiang Yue thought and closed his eyes.
