Chapter 42 p1
Chi Xiangyue finished cutting the pig feed for all three of them, and then they went back together.
On the way back, she suggested again, “Can I feed the pigs later? I’ve never fed a pig before, nor have I seen a pig eat.”
Song Yugui: “…As long as you’re happy.”
Shen Xizhi gripped her wife’s hand tightly. Hearing her wife speak to her, she couldn’t help but move closer, as if wanting to join the conversation, but she didn’t say anything.
Song Yugui turned her head to look.
Her small face was puffed out, angry again.
She had been paying attention to her wife. Seeing this, she couldn’t help but put an arm around her waist, rubbing it gently as if to coax her.
Since the female lead had volunteered to feed the pigs, Song Yugui couldn’t be bothered. She let the female lead in and let her play by herself.
Then she led Shen Xizhi into the house, closed the door, and, in the dim room, held her slender waist face to face, asking in a warm voice, “Are you still feeling upset?”
Shen Xizhi silently nodded, not saying why she was upset.
To be honest, she suspected the villain had depression. She would always be quietly sad over small things, or suddenly become sad for no reason.
Aiya, this illness is said to be very difficult to cure. I have to be gentler with her, better, and slowly coax her. Otherwise, what if she commits suicide?
Shen Xizhi was still thinking about all sorts of infuriating scenes. Suddenly, she thought of something, and a look of displeasure flashed across her beautiful, delicate face. She buried her face in her neck, stared at her wife’s snowy white neck, hardened her heart, and bumped into it.
Her warm lips and the exposed skin, which had just been blown by the cold wind and was slightly cool, collided. Her eyes suddenly lit up. I like it!
That hint of displeasure instantly dissipated.
But Song Yugui didn’t notice the other’s very deliberate touch and was still patting her back reassuringly. “Don’t be unhappy. Do you want to eat braised pork? If you want, I’ll save a piece of streaky pork for you, okay?”
Shen Xizhi pressed her delicate lips, which were still against the other’s skin, together, speechless for a moment. She… she didn’t react at all? I was secretly kissing her!
Ugh, idiot. Who wants to eat that stupid braised pork?
The young woman cursed her in her heart, but after a long while, she still replied weakly, “Alright.”
Her eyes were downcast with grievance.
“Mmm.”
One hand reached up to her head and gently stroked it.
Chi Xiangyue knocked on the door from outside but didn’t come in. She just called out a couple of times, looking very lively and energetic. “Are you in there? I’ve finished feeding the pigs. What’s next?”
Song Yugui was confused. Is the female lead addicted to working at my house?
She released her wife, but Shen Xizhi was unwilling to let go, still holding onto her arm, her eyes watery.
She loved to be clingy, and Song Yugui didn’t mind. If she’s clingy, she’s clingy. Anyway, we’re wives. Others won’t say much if they see us.
Song Yugui came out from behind the door, her expression calm, and replied to Chi Xiangyue, “We’re going to take a nap in a little while. Miss Chi should go back first.”
“Ah, you’re not doing anything else? Just sleeping?”
“Mmm, Miss Chi also knows that we get up early.”
Chi Xiangyue nodded in disappointment. That’s right. They get up at yinshi.(3 AM – 5 AM)
“Alright then, you take your nap. I’m leaving. I’ll come and play with you again later.”
Coming back later?
This made Song Yugui silent.
She really didn’t know what it was about their house that attracted the female lead. Could it be because there was a lot of work?
Hmph, she must love to work.
Perhaps she had learned it from her wife. Song Yugui also began to hum to herself secretly.
Seeing Chi Xiangyue walk away, Shen Xizhi’s gloomy mood inexplicably improved a little. She hugged her wife and said in a soft, pitiful voice, “It’s a good thing I went to town with you. Otherwise, I would have been annoyed to death today.”
“Mmm, I didn’t expect Miss Chi to be so clingy either.”
“She doesn’t just cling to me, she clings to you too.”
Shen Xizhi was unhappy. “You’re not allowed to be good to her.”
At these words, Song Yugui suddenly understood. So she’s afraid I have other, better friends. That’s definitely not possible. I and the villain are the best, the first wife! And it’s not good to be good to the female lead. Seeing the male lead is just annoying.
Song Yugui said with conviction, “Mmm, I won’t be good to her. I’m the best to you!”
Only then did she feel a little happier.
After Chi Xiangyue left Song Yugui’s house, she was too lazy to stay at her own home. Her father had gone to be a teacher, leaving her alone at home, which was very boring. She couldn’t help but think of her new friend, Song Xinyu, and decided to go and play with her.
Song Xinyu also had nothing to do today. Seeing the new villager come to play, she immediately happily played with her.
But she didn’t expect to hear other news from her.
“You said Song Yugui and her wife have a good relationship?”
Song Xinyu’s eyes were filled with surprise.
In her memory, Song Yugui clearly hated the wife she had married and often bullied her. There were many rumors in the village, and she had heard them all. How had their relationship become good in just a few months?
Although she had seen Song Yugui being close to that woman, she had thought she was just acting for her again, trying to make her jealous or something. Could it be that it was real this time?
Chi Xiangyue didn’t know about their affairs and nodded. “Yes. It’s the first time I’ve seen a lesbian couple. They’re always together wherever they go. I went with them to cut pig feed today and even saw them secretly holding hands.”
Song Xinyu: …
“They… secretly held hands?”
She asked this with great difficulty, her almond-shaped eyes also widening slightly.
Is Song Yugui so fond of her own wife now? But she used to…
Song Xinyu’s expression was a little dazed. Her past feelings for her didn’t seem to be fake, just too fervent, which had made her afraid. That was why she had rejected her again and again.
Later, when she heard that she was not good to her wife and often beat and scolded her, she was very glad that she had rejected her. When she saw Shen Xizhi, she had even condescendingly advised her to divorce Song Yugui.
No one had expected that a person who was considered a rotten person by everyone would eventually come to her senses and have such a transformation.
Her life was also gradually getting better.
Song Yugui held Shen Xizhi and took a nap. She woke up just before dark.
Napping was the most uncomfortable. If you slept too little, you would feel that it was not enough, and you couldn’t even open your eyes. But if you let yourself sleep, you wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
Song Yugui’s eyes were still in the stage of not being able to open, and so was her wife’s.
At this moment, they were sitting on the bed, holding each other, their mouths a little more awake, but neither of them had opened their eyes.
Shen Xizhi’s voice was muffled. “Yugui-jiejie, I’m sleepy.”
Song Yugui replied with a series of “Mmm”s and then said, “I’m sleepy too, so sleepy.”
“Yugui-jiejie, I still want to sleep…”
Only then did Song Yugui’s rationality return a little. She opened her eyes a crack and shook her head firmly. “No, you can’t. If you sleep now, you won’t be able to sleep at night. If you sleep late at night, you won’t be able to get up tomorrow. Let’s go and wash our faces to wake up.”
It was still cold now, and the water was bone-chilling. A handful of water splashed on her face, and her drowsy spirit instantly woke up by more than half.
Song Yugui sighed deeply. “That’s better.”
Shen Xizhi also followed her example and washed her face, her small face red from the cold.
“So cold!”
She looked so cute.
“Mmm, only cold can wake you up.”
“It’s really so cold. Hurry up and feel it. I can’t even feel my face anymore.”
Song Yugui took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air. A head suddenly appeared in front of her, its small face facing her, pale and tender.
Song Yugui couldn’t help but reach out and pinch it.
Her skin was so delicate that a light pinch left a red mark.
Shen Xizhi had just said she couldn’t feel anything, but now she cried out in surprise, “Yugui-jiejie, you pinched me so hard it hurts!”
Her large, watery eyes glared at her angrily.
Seeing her unhappy, Song Yugui quickly apologized. “My hand was too strong. I’ll rub it for you again.”
She gently rubbed the woman’s soft cheek with the back of her hand.
When Song Xinyu came over, she saw this scene. One of them had a doting smile on her face, the other was extremely shy. They looked… really well-matched.
Chi Xiangyue saw Shen Xizhi’s back from a distance and immediately called out, her arm also waving vigorously. “Xizhi, Yugui.”
Hearing this voice, the two of them both froze. Before they could turn their heads, the other had already run up to them.
“Does your pig eat dinner? Do you still need to go and cut pig feed?”
Song Yugui: …
A pig eating dinner. Unheard of.
She was speechless.
“No.”
Hearing this, Chi Xiangyue was even a little disappointed. “Alright then. Then let me in. I’ll feed your chicken a handful of rice.”
Song Yugui: …
“Oh.”
She silently opened the fence, and Chi Xiangyue happily went home to get some rice.
Song Xinyu stood to the side, facing the two of them alone, inevitably a little at a loss.
Her brow unconsciously furrowed slightly.
Shen Xizhi didn’t like her and was always hostile to her. Seeing her there, her small hand couldn’t help but tighten around her wife’s.
Song Yugui didn’t have any particular feelings for Song Xinyu. After all, it was the original owner who had pestered her. It was normal for her to misunderstand. But she was really afraid of being misunderstood, so she didn’t show any kindness to the village belle either. She just nodded and then led her wife inside.
Shen Xizhi was glad that her wife was not associating with the person she had once truly admired. She followed behind her like a little tail and obediently went into the house.
Leaving Song Xinyu staring blankly at their backs in the cold wind.
“Wife.”
Before entering the house, Shen Xizhi glanced at the woman standing gracefully outside and suddenly called out to her.
Song Yugui subconsciously replied, “Mmm? What?”
She asked, but the other just lowered her eyes and started talking about something else. “Are you hungry? Shall we have egg pancakes for dinner?”
“Mmm, I’ll listen to whatever you say.”
“When the weather gets a little warmer, we can buy a few more chicks, and then we can have eggs every day.”
Right now, most of their eggs were bought with money. The chicken at home only laid one egg a day, at most two, which was not enough to eat.
“Mmm, alright.”
Song Yugui has to be one of the most accurately written lesbians ever. “This girl gets naked in front of me and sleeps in my bed? How strange! Glad we’re pals tho since that couldn’t mean anything!”
