I’ll Butcher Pigs to Support You! 44p2

Chapter 44 p2

With Chi Xiangyue’s help, the meat filling, mixed with shepherd’s purse, was quickly chopped. When they were wrapping the wontons, she was still watching from the side. Seeing Shen Xizhi make a round-bellied, snowy white, and beautiful wonton with a single pinch, her eyes couldn’t help but light up.

Finally, she coughed lightly and made a request. “Can I wrap one too?”

She had been served since she was little. How could she have ever wrapped a wonton? Seeing it now, she also felt it was novel.

Song Yugui looked at her wife, a little hesitant this time. “Then… if you don’t wrap it well, you’ll have to eat it yourself.”

She wouldn’t eat it.

“If I eat it myself, I eat it myself. I’m sure I can wrap it well.”

Confident.

Shen Xizhi glanced at the two people standing there, her gaze lingering on Song Xinyu for a moment, then she moved away and said calmly, “Wash your hands first.”

She was used to Shen Xizhi’s cold demeanor and also used to Song Yugui’s somewhat cold demeanor, but! Just now, she had been listening with her ears pricked up outside, and these two were not like this in private!

They were so gentle when they talked to each other. How could they be cold at all? They only used a cold tone with others.

Could this be the difference between a couple and friends?

Although no one had agreed, Chi Xiangyue had already appointed herself as their friend.

“Oh, I know.” Seeing her friend go to wash her hands, Song Xinyu, who had been standing on the side without doing anything, also suddenly said softly, “I know how to wrap wontons. I’ll help you wrap them too.”

Since she was already here, it would be a little awkward to just stand by and watch them work.

Shen Xizhi didn’t say anything. She naturally noticed that something was wrong. That Song Xinyu, her attitude toward her wife was not right!

It was no longer the faint look of disgust and impatience from before, but… a look of assessment, of attention.

The young woman was extremely flustered. Her thin lips were bitten into a faint tooth mark. No matter how much she said she didn’t like her, she couldn’t change it. That was the first woman her wife had ever liked. The first was always different.

The four of them sat together and wrapped. Song Yugui was not idle either, trying her best to imitate her in wrapping wontons beside Shen Xizhi.

This work looked simple, but it was a little difficult to do it herself.

The wonton wrappers were too thin. She would always accidentally put too much filling and it would break, or it wouldn’t break, but it would be wrapped crookedly and not look very good.

Song Yugui looked down on her own skills. She turned her head to look at her wife’s, and not a single one was not exquisite and beautiful.

So she went over and, with a bit of a desire to please, nuzzled her face against hers. “I want to eat the ones you wrapped.”

Shen Xizhi: …

Chi Xiangyue: …

I didn’t expect you to be like this.

How could I have thought at first that she was cold by nature? How is this cold at all? She’s not just not cold, she’s too enthusiastic. It’s just that she’s not enthusiastic with them.

But this also shows that she’s a good woman who loves her wife!

Chi Xiangyue had inquired a lot these past two days and had a very good acceptance of this new thing called ‘lesbianism’.

Shen Xizhi sensed the two gazes secretly looking at them, one furtive with excitement, the other… with a bit of an indescribable feeling. Her heart tightened. You were the one who didn’t want her before. Are you going to try and steal my wife now? There’s no such logic in this world.

Shen Xizhi’s heart was heavy. She turned her small face to the side, and her moist, soft red lips brushed past Song Yugui’s face, which was pressed against hers.

The room was quiet. Song Yugui also paused but didn’t say anything, her dark, bright eyes still looking at her with anticipation.

Shen Xizhi was still shy. Seeing her like this, she knew she still hadn’t reacted. Her heart was filled with anger, but she couldn’t say anything to her.

Hmph.

She could only lower her head and say sullenly, “Of course you’re eating the ones I wrapped. Who else’s would you want to eat?”

Her words vaguely carried a hint of jealousy and possessiveness. Song Xinyu was perceptive and heard it clearly.

So they really are as loving as the rumors in the village say.

Hearing that she could eat the ones Shen Xizhi wrapped, Song Yugui was finally at ease. What the hell are these things I wrapped? I was just looking down on the female lead before. It seems I’m no different from her.

Chi Xiangyue didn’t know that the two of them hadn’t really become a couple yet and was still teasing from the side. “Yo, you’re eating Xizhi’s. Xizhi will definitely want to eat the ones you wrapped. Then you’d better hurry up and wrap them. Don’t let Xizhi go hungry after you’re full.”

Song Yugui was surprised and turned her head. “You want to eat the ones I wrapped? But the ones you wrap are better. Why don’t you just…”

Before she could finish, she was glared at coldly. “You don’t want to wrap them for me?”

For some reason, the already cold day seemed to get even colder. Song Yugui silently wrapped her clothes around herself and shook her head decisively. “That’s not what I meant. If you’re willing to eat them, of course I’ll wrap them for you. I was just afraid that the ones I wrap are too ugly and you’ll dislike them.”

She smiled very gently. Shen Xizhi’s mood finally improved a little. She lowered her head and made another plump wonton, muttering, “What’s there to dislike about you? As long as it’s you who wrapped it, I like it.”

Just as the two of them were in a somewhat intimate atmosphere, Chi Xiangyue couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow~”

The atmosphere instantly disappeared. Shen Xizhi’s smile froze, and only the cold of winter remained in the air.

She sighed. “You two have such a good relationship.”

And she said, “My father and mother used to be this close too.”

Song Yugui: …

Female lead, stop talking! The villain has already suffered enough from being forced to be with the original owner. And you’re still saying such things. If she gets angry later, I’ll be the one to coax her!

Song Yugui’s expression was a little indignant, as if she had thought of something. Shen Xizhi caught it and was unhappy again. What’s wrong? Are you wronged that I said our relationship is good?

Thinking of this, she became annoyed and her face turned cold. “Go and boil the water!”

“Right, Miss Chi, go and boil the water. We’ve almost finished wrapping. Miss Chi and Miss Song can stay for dinner today. Thank you for your help.”

I was telling you to go and boil the water! Hmph, idiot.

Their family was having meat. How could Song Xinyu be so shameless as to stay? Wouldn’t that be taking advantage of them? She was about to refuse, but Chi Xiangyue couldn’t think of this. Her family was not short of meat, and when she ate at other people’s houses, it was usually delicacies. So she didn’t think that eating a meal of wontons was a big deal and immediately agreed. “Alright, alright. Since my father isn’t back yet, I was planning to stay at your house for a meal anyway.”

The polite refusal was already on the tip of her tongue. With no one to refuse with her, she was too embarrassed to say it. In the end, she also tacitly agreed.

Shen Xizhi was unhappy, not because someone was sharing her family’s meat. She was petty, but not that petty. It was because she had seen the village belle secretly looking at Song Yugui!

Her chest rose and fell slightly with anger. It wasn’t until she saw Song Yugui honestly lowering her head to wrap wontons and not looking at anyone that her anger subsided a little. Then she thought that she hadn’t even called Song Xinyu by her name just now, only ‘Miss Song’. She already knew Song Xinyu’s name, but she hadn’t called her by it… most likely because of me.

Shen Xizhi also knew that she was easily jealous. Thinking of the other’s subtle favoritism, her heart sweetened.

Her anger came and went quickly. Her voice was soft. “Alright, don’t wrap so many. I can’t finish them.”

She couldn’t finish them, and she was unwilling to let others eat the ones Song Yugui had wrapped with her own hands.

“Ah, is it a lot? Don’t eat so little. A wonton is only so big. You should eat a few more. You haven’t gained any weight after being raised for so long. I don’t know what’s wrong. I really want to take you to the medical hall to have a look.”

She’s been well-fed, but she’s not gaining weight. It’s strange.

Shen Xizhi blushed with anger, her dark lashes blinking lightly, her small fist hammering her. “Who goes to the medical hall for this kind of thing? You really have money to burn.”

Song Xinyu had wrapped a few wontons and was listening from the side without saying anything.

But she didn’t expect the other to call out to her instead. “Miss Song, don’t you think my wife is just looking for trouble?”

Song Xinyu looked up nervously and smiled awkwardly. “Ah, this, I’m not in a position to judge. Perhaps Song… she’s more concerned about you.”

Shen Xizhi didn’t say anything, but instead began to command Song Yugui with a “Wife” in every sentence.

“Wife, the chicken outside hasn’t been fed yet. Can you go and feed it?”

Chi Xiangyue hadn’t been able to start a fire for a long time and didn’t forget to add, “I’ve already fed the chicken.”

…

The chicken my family raises, the female lead is more concerned about it than I am.

“Then can Wife pour me a glass of water? I’m thirsty.”

Shen Xizhi spoke coquettishly. As long as she wasn’t making a fuss, Song Yugui would have wanted to give her anything. What was a glass of water? She quickly went to pour it.

After drinking a couple of sips, Shen Xizhi commanded her to go and see how the pig was eating.

Wait, what’s there to see about a pig? Song Yugui was confused but still went.

By the time she returned, the fire was finally started.

She had been in a hurry to see the pig just now and had told the female lead she would help her start the fire in a little while, but it seemed someone had helped her first.

After starting the fire, Shen Xizhi took out the wontons from the house. The firewood fire was strong, and the water quickly boiled. The room was filled with white steam, which made the fire-starting Chi Xiangyue choke.

She came out from inside again, saying she was a little uncomfortable and had to go outside to get some cold air.

Seeing this, Song Yugui was about to go in and take her place, but Song Xinyu had already gone in.

“I’ll do it. It’s not right to eat your food for free.”

She really felt that she was eating for free and was very embarrassed. At this point, her face even turned red.

Seeing that she wanted to do it, Song Yugui didn’t fight with her. She walked to Shen Xizhi’s side, quietly put an arm around her waist, and asked curiously, “With so many wontons, can you still tell which ones I wrapped after they’re all cooked together?”

Hers were easy to recognize. The most beautiful ones at a glance were hers.

Shen Xizhi said warmly, “I’ll just cook your share first.”

Wontons were small and cooked easily. It wasn’t much trouble to cook them one bowl at a time.

“Alright, I want to eat thirty.”

Song Yugui requested.

Shen Xizhi didn’t listen. “Wontons aren’t as big as dumplings. You’ll have to eat forty to be full.”

“Really? Then what if I can’t finish them? Will you help me eat them?”

Shen Xizhi nodded slightly, her expression demure. “Mmm, if you can’t finish, I’ll help you eat.”

A very intimate conversation between a couple.

Of course Song Yugui was just joking. She couldn’t possibly let the villain eat her leftovers. Just having her say that was comforting enough. If she really couldn’t finish, she would try her best to eat.

As they were talking, the first portion of wontons was ready. Each one was thin-skinned and had a large filling, and they didn’t fall apart. They looked very good.

Shen Xizhi ladled out this bowl of wontons, sprinkled some chopped green onions on top, and they were crystal clear, looking very appetizing.

“You eat first.”

Even with two guests present, she was more reluctant to let her own wife go hungry.

“Oh.”

When it came to eating, Song Yugui was always obediently waiting to be arranged. She took the bowl and went in, but she didn’t rush to eat. Her wife hadn’t eaten yet, so she wasn’t in a hurry. She just sat there and waited for Shen Xizhi’s portion to be ready so they could eat together.

Shen Xizhi had asked each person how many they would eat and had cooked four portions. Her own was the last to go into the pot.

By the time Song Xinyu also came in with a bowl, Song Yugui was a little restless and went out to accompany her.

“You’re done eating so quickly?”

Song Yugui: …

Am I a pig that I can just finish eating with a few grunts?

“No, I was waiting to bring it to you later. You’re so delicate. Don’t get burned later.”

Shen Xizhi unconsciously rubbed her fingertips and lowered her head to hide the smile in her eyes.

She never thought her skin was tender. Only Yugui-jiejie thought so. Only she was always so concerned about me.
