Chapter 61 p2
It was unclear how much time had passed, but Shen Xizhi had finally returned to the bed that had first made her feel very safe. First, her eyes were dazed, her whole body trembling as she stared at the top of the bed. After the trembling subsided, she trembled again, her hand reaching out little by little to pull the quilt. Her fingers were so weak that the corner of the quilt slipped from her palm several times. But she was not one to give up, biting her thin lip tightly, insisting on pulling the quilt.
A long, slender hand suddenly appeared, replacing her soft, weak one, and pulled the quilt over, gently covering her body.
She looked over and saw her wife sitting on the edge of the bed, her legs together, her back straight, her appearance obedient. She blinked her eyes, looking extremely honest.
Shen Xizhi: !!!
Honest my ass! She’s the most dishonest one! She’s good at bullying people, especially me!
The young woman didn’t even have the strength to glare at her and could only try her best to turn over, her small bottom facing her.
Her bottom was a little uncovered, pale and tender, with a not-so-light tooth mark on the tip.
Song Yugui, being a good person, pulled the quilt and managed to cover the tooth mark.
“Still angry?”
Her voice was so gentle it could have dripped water.
Shen Xizhi just felt that her lower body was numb, her tongue was numb, and her chest was also numb!
She’s already like this. Shouldn’t I be angry?! I’m going to be angry!
Song Yugui’s voice scattered in the air, receiving no response. She smiled helplessly and went closer again, wanting to kiss her wife’s small face. But her wife was angry and covered her face, not letting her kiss!
She had already given too much today, too much.
Shen Xizhi’s small face was as red as a monkey’s bottom.
Song Yugui finally stopped bullying her, got up to tidy the two old clothes, and put them under her. She then coughed guiltily. “I’ve washed these clothes. They’re very clean. You… are you still reacting strongly?”
My wife is made of water. Evidence plus one.
Hearing her dare to ask this again, Shen Xizhi was even angrier. Her small legs struggled to break free from her restraint, not letting her hold them, and she was also too angry to talk to her.
Only then did Song Yugui obediently go out.
The sow at home was about to give birth. She didn’t know how many it would have.
She had to feed it a little more every day.
She carried her basket up the mountain and cut a full basket of grass. The house was still quiet. Chi Xiangyue hadn’t come over. She quietly opened a small crack in the door and peeked in. Xizhi was still sleeping, probably tired from all the messing around.
Song Yugui took the pig feed to feed the pig. When she came out again, she saw Song Xingchuan pacing at her gate, scratching his head in hesitation, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Seeing his gaze fall on the little chickens running around on the ground, she was instantly on alert. What’s the meaning of this? Is he trying to steal my chickens?!
Song Yugui quickly walked over, suppressing a slight pant, her attitude still quite polite. “Cousin, what brings you here? Are you looking for me or just passing by?”
Just passing by, just passing by, just passing by! Don’t stop at my house! So scary.
Song Xingchuan glanced at his cousin. Seeing her good attitude, he no longer hesitated and said bluntly, “I cut a lot of firewood on the mountain today. I thought the firewood I cut for you last year should be used up, so I came to bring some.”
Song Yugui: ?
I’m sorry for my filthy, vicious thoughts. He’s kindly bringing me firewood, and I’m thinking of him like this.
Her face also couldn’t help but show a smile. “Thank you, cousin. But my house still has firewood. How can I trouble you every time? You’re too kind.”
Song Xingchuan shook his head, still with a foolish expression. “It’s no trouble. I cut a lot.”
The two of them refused back and forth. Song Xingchuan even wanted to just throw the firewood down and run. Song Yugui was helpless and had no choice but to accept it. Then she hurried into the house to get the leftover chopped ribs from today and stuffed them into Song Xingchuan’s hand.
“This… it’s just a small favor. It’s too precious. I can’t take it.”
Meat was expensive. His family had been considered well-off in the village before and could occasionally have it once in a while. But now… his mother was sick and had spent a lot of money. Their family hadn’t had meat in a long time, which was why he had gone to town to buy ribs, wanting to go home and make soup to replenish his mother’s strength.
How could he dare to accept the ribs from Song Yugui?
“It’s alright. You also know that my family sells meat. Besides giving you meat, I can’t give you anything else. I can’t just take your firewood for free. Take it.”
She didn’t want to owe favors, especially not to the male lead. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
Song Xingchuan was not good with words. In the end, he had no choice but to accept the ribs, but his gaze couldn’t help but drift back again. Not at home…
Sensing him always looking back, Song Yugui was first puzzled, then quickly frowned. Now she finally came to her senses and was so angry she almost fell over.
I was wondering why you were so nice. So you’re after my wife!
Back! Back! Back!
The little person in Song Yugui’s heart was shivering with anger. But on the surface, a smile appeared on her face. “Who is cousin looking for?”
Song Xingchuan suddenly came to his senses. Knowing that his gaze had been discovered, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. He took a deep breath and shook his head. “I… I was just looking around. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. Cousin… and sister-in-law, if you have anything you need help with in the future, you can also come and find me.”
He gathered his courage to say this, then turned his head and hurried away.
Leaving Song Yugui even angrier.
Who wants to find him? What can’t I do myself that I need to ask you, this hidden love rival, for help? No wonder you were so attentive today. So you still have your eyes on my villain! You’re crazy! My Xizhi is so good. She didn’t even seduce you like in the novel, and you still come to provoke her? And I’m not even dead yet, and you’re already eyeing my wife! Scumbag! Unfilial!
Song Yugui cursed as she went into the house and found that Shen Xizhi was already up.
The young woman pulled up the quilt with her slender white fingers, trying her best to cover up to her snowy white, delicate collarbone.
Afraid that a certain someone would “go berserk” again!
But she didn’t forget to ask, “Who was that outside just now? Why were you talking to him for so long?”
Song Yugui was very unhappy and snorted twice, not even managing a smile, her face cold as she thought, “It was Song Xingchuan, who came to our stall to buy meat today. By the way, how did you run into him this morning?”
“Oh, it was him.”
Shen Xizhi was clearly not concerned about Song Xingchuan. Hearing that it was him, she didn’t have much of a reaction and just replied to her wife, “I was waiting for the meat pancake this morning when I heard him call me. Then he talked to me. I came over, and he followed me on his own.”
Song Yugui: ?
He’s just coveting my wife! But for no reason, why would he suddenly come and find Xizhi again? Hasn’t he been gone for a long time?
Song Yugui was a little afraid that this was the power of the plot. Could it be that… after today, Chi Xiangyue would also fall for Song Xingchuan?
Then she would really faint.
Shen Xizhi sat on the bed blankly. Seeing her wife’s expression turn serious little by little, she was suddenly a little at a loss. “Wh-what’s wrong?”
As she asked, she suddenly remembered that last year, her wife had said she didn’t like her to associate with Song Xingchuan and would get angry when she saw them talking. They had even argued about it. Was it because of this?
Shen Xizhi was anxious and wronged. She gripped the quilt tightly and said in a small voice, “It wasn’t me who wanted to talk to him. He came over on his own. I… I was too embarrassed to ignore him.”
She hadn’t done anything, nor had she paid much attention to Song Xingchuan. Was her wife going to blame her?
Shen Xizhi pressed her lips together.
Seeing her wife wronged, how could she bear to let her misunderstand? She quickly walked over and held her wife in her arms. “Mmm, I know. I know it has nothing to do with you. I’m not blaming you.”
Shen Xizhi didn’t believe her and bit her tender lip. “You’re clearly blaming me. You came in so fiercely and didn’t even smile.”
“No. I was thinking about something. I’m not blaming you. Why would I blame you?”
It’s the plot’s problem. My dear wife is always by my side and doesn’t talk to others. How can it be her problem? I’m just afraid… the male lead can develop feelings for Xizhi for no reason. Will Xizhi also… If that’s the case, I’ll have to chop that dead thing up with a knife.
Song Yugui let out a long sigh.
“Do you think I’m seducing men again?”
In the past, her wife often thought she was seducing men. Is she thinking that again now?
The young woman’s eyes turned red from holding it in, and she suddenly asked.
Song Yugui had just been asking out of concern. How could she have expected to make her cry? She began to coax her in a fluster. “Nonsense! How could I think that of you! I asked you because I think Song Xingchuan is not a good person. I’m afraid you’ll be tricked by him.”
Heaven be my witness, that’s what I really think!
Shen Xizhi didn’t listen and even turned her head to the other side, not looking at her, her voice a little sad. “Anyway, no matter what you think, you’re the one I like. If you don’t want me one day, I’d rather die than remarry!”
Song Yugui was startled by her seemingly resolute words and quickly dug her out of the quilt. Ignoring her weak struggles, she held her beautiful butterfly bones with one hand and her delicate bottom with the other, her tone very heavy and serious. “Don’t talk nonsense! I won’t not want you! And I’ve never thought you were seducing anyone! Don’t slander me!”
“You… you just…”
Before she could finish, her small mouth was covered. “I didn’t, I’m not! Just now, Song Xingchuan was at the door, always looking for someone. I felt like he was trying to seduce you!”
Song Yugui held her even tighter with displeasure and said her guess.
Shen Xizhi’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She swallowed and said with difficulty, “He… was seducing me?”
