I’ll Butcher Pigs to Support You! 94

Chapter 94: My 100% Blackened, Broken Wife [6]

The foot traffic on South Street was heavier, and with only two butchers in town, it was simply not enough. Before noon, Song Yugui’s pork was sold out. She had saved a rib and a piece of streaky pork for herself. The rib was for her to eat, and the streaky pork was for Sister-in-law Shen, to thank her for her care these past few days.

She took her wife to the government office to get a marriage contract.

Shen Xizhi had already thought about this matter yesterday, so of course she would not waver or hesitate today. If she were indecisive, it would not be good if Li Shuhe got angry. She still had to rely on Li Shuhe to raise her. If she was going to marry her, then she would marry her.

Song Yugui held her wife’s hand, her smile almost reaching the back of her ears.

The matter of their marriage contract went exceptionally smoothly. Today, they had also earned over one thousand six hundred wen from selling pork.

Shen Xizhi’s slightly raised heart had inexplicably settled down after the marriage contract was set. In just two or three days, she was tied to another person again.

But it was all for the sake of living, so it didn’t matter.

She held Song Yugui’s hand, thinking of the words the other had whispered in her ear a long, long time ago, and gently pulled at her.

Song Yugui sensed the weak force and turned her head back. “Mmm, what’s wrong?”

It was the first time Shen Xizhi had asked someone for something. Her heart was very nervous, but she wanted to test her, to know if Song Yugui would keep her word.

“Peach blossom pastries…”

The young woman said in a small voice, and after she finished, she let go of her hand and lowered her head to quietly hold the child.

As if to say, I’m just mentioning it. It’s fine whether you give it to me to eat or not.

Song Yugui couldn’t help but let out a low laugh.

She stroked her, as if to coax her.

“I’ll take you to eat. Don’t be unhappy.”

She was so gentle. Shen Xizhi was a little embarrassed. She bit her thin lip and refuted with a lack of confidence, “I’m not unhappy.”

“Alright, alright. If you say you’re not, then you’re not.”

“Aiya, is there also a Baoyue Pavilion here?”

Song Yugui was surprised as she led her past Baoyue Pavilion.

This was opened by Chi Xiangyue’s little cousin. In this life, Chi Xiangyue was almost about to have a happy ending with the male lead, and her little cousin hadn’t come. Logically, there shouldn’t be a Baoyue Pavilion.

She hesitated and walked over, asking the waiter for two peach blossom pastries and two water chestnut cakes.

Seeing that the waiter was young and easy to talk to, she lowered her voice and feigned curiosity. “I don’t think I’ve seen your Baoyue Pavilion before. Is it newly opened?”

The waiter was indeed easy to talk to. Hearing this, he nodded and said, “We just hung up the plaque a few days ago. You probably didn’t come over these past few days, so you didn’t see it.”

“Oh, I see.”

It only opened a few days ago. So in this life, my cousin came so late.

She didn’t bother with this matter anymore. She took the pastries and went out, then stuffed them into Shen Xizhi’s hand.

Shen Xizhi obediently carried the pastries and also held the child, her two hands full.

“Let me buy you some candied fruit too. You still have to drink medicine when you get back.”

Baoyue Pavilion also had candied fruit, but she had always been too embarrassed to say that they weren’t very good.

She had originally thought that with Xizhi’s habit of saving money and not liking to spend it, she would definitely try to persuade her a couple of times at this time. But when she finished speaking and turned her head to look, she only saw Xizhi’s eyes sparkling, full of anticipation.

Song Yugui couldn’t help but curve her lips. Cute.

She had almost forgotten that this life’s Xizhi had been poor from beginning to end and had now also blackened. Of course she wouldn’t feel sorry for her money. And she didn’t like her that much. She probably wished she could spend more of her money to buy herself something.

That was also very good. She was happy to spend money on Xizhi.

Song Yugui went in and bought a bag of candied fruit. A palm-sized bag of candied fruit was quite expensive, costing fifty wen. Money really didn’t last.

When she came out from inside, Shen Xizhi said she would help her carry the candied fruit, even though she was already carrying a lot.

Little glutton, wishing she could hold all the food in her hands.

Shen Xizhi held the two items she had bought for her, her mood brighter than it had been in a long time.

Although she had been scared yesterday, and also scared of her, and afraid that she would be like others, afraid that she would bully her, but after the marriage contract was set today, her fear had lessened a little.

It can’t get any worse.

Shen Xizhi thought with her head bowed.

As the two of them were halfway there, they suddenly heard a somewhat hesitant, “Xizhi.”

The moment Shen Xizhi heard Song Xingchuan’s voice, her body stiffened, and she cautiously looked at Song Yugui.

Song Yugui hadn’t recognized who it was at first. She subconsciously turned her head and saw the young version of Song Xingchuan standing behind them, her face instantly turning black.

Shen Xizhi guiltily leaned against her, her thin lips lightly pressed together. She had something in both her hands, or she would have definitely held Song Yugui’s fingers and acted coquettishly with her. She couldn’t let her get angry.

What if she gets angry and doesn’t raise me anymore?

Song Yugui could also understand Xizhi’s apprehension. This was a shuraba where the ex and the current met. (Shuraba(Shura Field) – refers to a chaotic and dramatic situation, especially one involving romantic conflicts or love triangles)

Especially since the ex had been with her with a sincere heart, and the current was semi-forced by her.

She was naturally jealous and didn’t have a good face for Song Xingchuan either. “What business do you have with my wife?”

Song Xingchuan was stunned. What wife?

He nervously clutched his pant leg and decided to ignore that inexplicable person, just looking at Shen Xizhi. “I thought you had already left the village.”

The night Shen Xizhi had left, he had used the excuse of having something to do and had gone out to look for her.

Although he was very disappointed in Xizhi, not expecting her to be such a vicious woman, he also couldn’t bear to watch her die. So he had still gone out at night, wanting to see if he could give her a set of clothes or something. It was just that he hadn’t found her. At that time, he had thought that Shen Xizhi had already left the countryside. He hadn’t expected to meet her again today.

She was no longer wearing the old, patched clothes that let the wind through, but a brand new long skirt. She had also tied up her hair, and her body was clean and tidy, which made one’s eyes light up. She was also holding a child in her arms. Could it be that she had gone to be a stepmother?

Thinking of this, Song Xingchuan’s heart ached. He felt that Shen Xizhi was extremely self-deprecating. How could she do such a thing?

A stepmother was not so easy to be. She didn’t understand.

Ever since she had left Songjia Village, she had already given up on Song Xingchuan. Now, seeing Song Xingchuan come over with a hypocritical look of pity, she felt even more disgusted, mainly because she was afraid that Li Shuhe would be angry.

Her and Song Xingchuan’s affair was known to everyone in Songjia Village. Anyone would have a knot in their heart.

The young woman pressed against her newly-minted wife, not paying any mind to Song Xingchuan, just lowering her head to tease Xiaobao, as if she hadn’t heard him speak, completely ignoring him.

Song Xingchuan frowned. “Xizhi, I’m talking to you. Why are you ignoring me?”

It was mealtime when they had returned. Everyone was at home eating. There were not many people around, which was why Song Xingchuan had dared to talk to Shen Xizhi.

A coward.

Song Yugui really couldn’t stand it and said coldly, “I just asked you, what business do you have with my wife? Are you deaf and can’t hear?”

Song Xingchuan frowned and looked over. “Who is your wife?”

How can such a stupid person be the male lead? What was the author thinking?

Song Yugui was speechless. She looked at Xizhi, who was obediently leaning against her, and said coldly, “This is my wife. Are you blind and can’t see?”

Who else is standing with me besides Xizhi? Who else could it be?

Song Xingchuan’s heart was greatly shocked. He looked at the two of them in disbelief, his outstretched fingers trembling. “In just two days, you…”

Shen Xizhi still ignored him. She was also shameless now. As long as she could live, it was fine. This Li Shuhe had everything she wanted, and her family had no parents, just a milk-fed baby. It was much more comfortable than having to serve her in-laws at other families.

She had decided to live a good life with Li Shuhe.

As for the man she had once hooked up with… she just hoped that Li Shuhe would not find trouble with her because of this.

Although she had hooked up with him before, it was because she had been ignorant at that time. She had just thought that Song Xingchuan was not bad looking, had a good family background, was young, and had paid more attention to her than others. He was a very good choice.

But she hadn’t expected that he wasn’t.

He was the beginning of her being dragged into the abyss.

Song Yugui was impatient with Song Xingchuan’s hypocritical look. “What’s wrong with two days? Xizhi and I fell in love at first sight and have already set a marriage contract in town. Stop barking like a dog. Don’t you have your own wife?”

Oh, he would soon not have one. With Chu Wantang’s methods, she didn’t even know if Song Xingchuan had married the female lead yet. If he had, he would probably be dead. If he hadn’t, there might still be a chance to turn things around. Her little cousin had said that Chi Xiangyue didn’t like her to kill people, so she usually wouldn’t make a move.

Song Xingchuan had, after all sorts of things, come to like Chi Xiangyue a little more. But hearing that Shen Xizhi was another’s wife, a thick anger suddenly rose in his heart.

How can you marry someone else? And it’s a woman, a woman with a child!

His lips also trembled along with his hands, and he couldn’t help but say with a bit of anger, “So they weren’t wrong. You really are a wanton woman!”

The moment the words fell, he was slapped by Song Yugui, who had come over like the wind. He was stunned, and Song Yugui was even more stunned. She hadn’t expected the male lead to say such a thing. “You bastard! Men are just shameless! It was clearly you who coveted my wife’s beauty and seduced her, and then you were fickle and fell for someone else. And now you’re scolding her! Have you no shame?”

Everything had happened too fast. Hearing Song Xingchuan say such hurtful words to her, a sour pain had just risen in Shen Xizhi’s heart when Li Shuhe had hit him. She was startled and subconsciously went to Li Shuhe’s side, tugging at a corner of her sleeve, looking at her with a timid and frail expression.

If you hit Song Xingchuan, you can’t hit me.

Song Yugui sensed her wife’s uneasy emotions. She first turned her head and patted her on the shoulder, coaxing her that she would only hit bad people, not her. Then she put her hands on her hips and cursed at Song Xingchuan. Song Xingchuan covered half his face with one hand, his eyes fixed on Shen Xizhi.

She wouldn’t let him look, and as she blocked Song Xingchuan’s view, she continued to scold him.

This person was too shameless. He was already with the female lead, yet he still wouldn’t let go of Xizhi. What, you’re a farmer, and you think you can have both? How thick is your skin? You should take a look at your own strength. Who can you support? Can you afford the clothes I buy for Xizhi? Can you afford any of the female lead’s food, clothing, and travel expenses? I’m afraid you can’t even buy a single piece of her jewelry or a piece of her fabric with all your family’s strength.

Truly, a person who is shameless is invincible. I’ve never seen such a person in my life. The dead novel had to write such a person as the male lead.

Seeing that the other was not easy to provoke, Song Xingchuan had originally not wanted to talk to her. He just wanted to know if Shen Xizhi was in some kind of trouble, how she had gotten married again. But his pathetic appearance after being hit only made Song Yugui scold him even more fiercely.

Gradually, the onlookers who had finished their meals gathered around.

Song Yugui just threw out a sentence, “If you dare to pester my wife again, I will not let you off!” and was about to leave.

But someone had been secretly watching for a long while and muttered, “You can’t say that. Everyone in the village knows that it was clearly Shen Xizhi who was a fox, who liked to seduce and pester men. How could Song Da’s son pester her?”

It just so happened that Song Yugui heard it. So she ran over and stood in front of the woman who was speaking, her cold and beautiful face very fierce, her hands on her hips. “Which of your eyes saw Xizhi being a fox? When and where did she do what? Tell me!”

The woman hadn’t expected Song Yugui, who looked so young, to actually rush over and argue with her. She secretly cursed her bad luck, her mouth stammering for a long time without being able to say a single word. The already angry Song Yugui became even angrier. “If you can’t say it, then you’re slandering Xizhi! Xizhi has never seduced anyone! All of you have seen nothing, but your mouths are always talking!”

She hated people who spread rumors the most. One person tells ten, and ten tell a hundred. Does the truth still matter?

Being scolded, and seeing her look so fierce, the other didn’t dare to refute loudly and just said in a small voice, “I… I didn’t see it, but someone else did! If Shen Xizhi were well-behaved usually, how could such a rumor have spread? She must have been dishonest.”

“Alright, alright! Then who on earth saw it? You take me to them! I want to ask them which of their eyes saw it! Are they all blind!”

Shen Xizhi hadn’t expected her to go and argue with someone over her. She had long since gotten used to those words, but she couldn’t stand hearing them. She had to get justice for her.

The point was, she actually believed that she hadn’t done it.

Her every word was on her side, speaking for her.

When the rumor had first started, she had also explained. But later, as more and more people spread it, her explanation was useless. After so many people had said it, even she herself had thought she had done such a thing.

Of course Song Xingchuan had also suspected her. At first, he had come to see her every day, but later, he would only come once every few days.

She had thought that she was already used to being wronged and was too lazy to defend herself. But it turned out that when someone spoke up for her, she would still feel a sourness in her heart.

“Why aren’t you taking me? Could it be that you were the one who spread this rumor!”

Seeing the other standing there without speaking, Song Yugui took a step closer, which scared her into taking a step back, and said fiercely again.

The number of onlookers grew. The woman was so embarrassed that she couldn’t control herself and shouted, “When did I ever spread it? It wasn’t me! It was clearly that Shen Xizhi who was indecent! If you’re with a woman like this, be careful of ruining your own reputation!”

“Then where exactly is she indecent?”

Song Yugui’s eyes darkened, and she asked with a cold voice. The woman stammered, thinking of what others had said when they had talked about Shen Xizhi, and then she straightened her back again. “She let a man from the village into her house for tea! A widow, yet she let a man into her house! Isn’t that for the sake of having an affair!”

She was convinced.

“Xizhi, is this true?”

Shen Xizhi saw that she didn’t even turn her head, but her tone was full of trust for her, as if she were encouraging her to say something.

She pressed her lips together and shook her head. “No. Song Xingchuan helped me cut firewood, and I only invited him to have a couple of cups of tea in the courtyard. I never invited him into the house.”

Everyone could see the courtyard. No one would do anything out of line.

Song Yugui suddenly looked at the woman, her phoenix eyes wide. “Did you hear that? Who on earth saw a man enter her house? You find them for me!”

Seeing her chasing relentlessly, several people from Songjia Village were asking who had seen it and to quickly come and be a witness.

Some people also directly ran back to call for people.

Coincidentally, there was also a person from Lijia Village present. Fearing that the people from Songjia Village would bully them with numbers, she ran back to the village to call for the village chief.

Someone went up to persuade Song Yugui why she had to be so angry. Song Yugui glared at him. “It’s not you who’s being slandered. Of course you’re not angry.”

The woman was stopped several times and was not allowed to leave, insisting that she tell her the whole story.

She was both ashamed and angry. “Anyway, someone saw it! It’s not just me in the village who’s saying it! Why are you just stopping me!”

“I heard you say it in front of me today, so I’m stopping you. In the future, if anyone dares to slander Shen Xizhi in front of me again, I will not let them off lightly!”

Although she was a woman, she had been a butcher since she was little, and her face was also fierce, which gave her a certain deterrence.

The people from Lijia Village were stunned when they came over. They had never thought Li Shuhe was so fierce before.

The two villages seemed to be on the verge of a fight, with people gathered around. People from other villages also came over to watch the fun. By the time Song Yugui turned her head to look at her wife again, she was shocked.

Hah, how come there are so many people?

Among the crowd were a few familiar yet unfamiliar faces. They were from Songjia Village, but they had already died by the time she had died in her past life. After a long time, she didn’t remember their names, just that they were nice people.

Among the crowd, a man seemed to know the woman who was being stopped. He hurried over to block Song Yugui, also with a look of displeasure. “That Shen Xizhi is indecent herself. What does that have to do with us? Who would slander her for no reason? Since someone said it, it must be true. If you’re going to take her back, then take her back. Why do you have to come and find trouble with us from Songjia Village!”

“If one is wronged, of course they have to clarify. Those who spread rumors will naturally be despised by me. If it’s true just because someone said it, then if I say today that you’ve long been impotent and will have no descendants in the future, is that also true?”

The moment she said this, the other’s expression truly changed in an instant. He glared at her with anger, his whole face darkening. “What are you talking about! I’ll tear your mouth apart!”

Hearing that Li Shuhe was arguing with someone, the people from Lijia Village had hurried over and had been watching from outside, lest something big happen. Now, seeing the other about to make a move, they quickly shouted, “What are you doing, what are you doing? You’re a man. Are you going to hit a woman!”

It was a few of the village wives and farmers who had come. The village chief was also watching from behind, directing the strong men to go up and stop the other.

Seeing this, the people of Songjia Village also hurried to persuade them, one after another saying they couldn’t fight, couldn’t fight, and separated the two groups.

The wife from Lijia Village then went to hold Song Yugui’s hand and pulled her back. One who was closer to Li Shuhe went closer and said in a small voice, “I know this man. My family used to have a marriage discussion with him. He’s been married for almost ten years and still doesn’t have a single child. This mouth of yours, you really know how to hit where it hurts.”

Song Yugui: ?

So coincidental?

No wonder the other looked like he was going to eat her. The people around also started to whisper. “No wonder his wife has never had any children. So he’s impotent.”

“Poor Fengying.”

Fengying was the woman who was being protected behind him. She was also about to faint from anger. She knew whether her husband was capable or not.

“You… how can you slander someone for no reason!”

The two of them looked as if they were going to eat her, but with a few strong men from Lijia Village blocking them, hey, they couldn’t.

She put her two hands on her hips again. “Now you know what it’s like to be slandered and get angry. Why didn’t you think before you spoke when you were slandering others?”

“Everyone in the village is saying it! It’s not just me!”

Fengying really regretted her sudden outburst just now. Now she was being blocked here, and her face was also being stomped on the ground.

Song Yugui didn’t even think before she replied, “There are also people dying in the village. Why don’t you go and die!”

Fengying: …

Is she crazy!

The village chief of Songjia Village was not here today, but the village chief of Lijia Village had brought several people. The size of his head was so big that it made people not dare to make a scene anymore. In their hearts, they had already cursed Song Yugui a thousand times.

Fengying was a little embarrassed. “Then what on earth do you want? I won’t say it in the future. It was originally passed down by others. Why are you only blaming me?”

“I asked you who passed it to you, and you wouldn’t say, would you?”

She was silent. If she just exposed them like this, the people here would definitely gossip, and if Song Yugui went to find trouble again, the other would know that it was because of her that Song Yugui had come, and she would also not have a good time in the village. She didn’t want to be ostracized like Shen Xizhi.

Song Yugui didn’t really want to force her to death. She looked at the two of them and said in a low voice, “I want you to apologize to Xizhi right now. Say you were wrong, that you shouldn’t have slandered her and ruined her reputation without any evidence.”

Reputation was not very important to Song Yugui, but to women in ancient times, it was more important than anything.

Songjia Village had sent people out early to find out who had spread the rumor that Shen Xizhi was indecent with a man from the village, but they hadn’t found anything. Everyone said they hadn’t seen anything. There was no witness or physical evidence. They could only admit defeat and didn’t dare to talk nonsense again in the future. After all, there was no evidence, and they were afraid of being blocked by the crazy Song Yugui.

Fengying had never been so embarrassed. Her husband still wanted to help her, but Song Yugui wouldn’t give an inch. In the end, she could only difficultly walk up to Shen Xizhi and apologize to her.

Shen Xizhi remembered this woman. She would often look at her with a disdainful gaze and then loudly talk about how others should manage their own men and not even walk past her gate.

Her heart was actually filled with hatred. The two of them had no enmity, yet she had bullied her like this.

Song Yugui quickly went over to accompany her wife and asked in a low voice, “She’s apologized. Are you going to forgive her?”

Shen Xizhi looked at her with an uneasy, yet dependent expression.

On an ordinary, sunny day, a person she had only known for three days had unhesitatingly stood by her side, being aggressive and pressing, just to clear her name.

She didn’t even ask her and was certain that she had been slandered.

Shen Xizhi was a little moved in her heart. She still hated lesbians, but she felt that Li Shuhe was a very good person.

Seeing her not speaking, Song Yugui patted her and said warmly, “It’s fine whether you forgive her or not. You’ll be living with me in the future. Anyway, you won’t see them. Even if you don’t give them face, they can’t bully you.”

Hearing her say this, Fengying’s expression became even uglier. Shen Xizhi nervously gripped her clothes corner, as if this could give her more courage. Her dark eyes looked at the woman in front of her and shook her head. “I don’t want to forgive you. I told you before that I didn’t do it.”

She had said it, but the other hadn’t believed her and had even said she was good at pretending to be pitiful and tricking men.

Her impression was deep, and she couldn’t forget it no matter what, so she was unwilling to forgive.

Hearing her wife’s words, Song Yugui’s heart ached even more. She stroked her wife’s head with pity and said to the others with a cold face, “Xizhi said she won’t forgive you, so you can go back. Don’t let me hear any more gossip about Xizhi from others in the future, or I won’t let you off lightly either!”

How difficult she was, this group of people had seen today. They just looked at Shen Xizhi with a strange gaze. In Songjia Village, besides being exceptionally frail and beautiful, she had almost no presence, and no one protected her, ever. Who would have thought that after being driven out of Songjia Village, someone would be willing to stand up for her?

After this was over, there was no more fun to watch, so the others slowly dispersed. Song Yugui was thanking the relatives from Lijia Village who had helped, one by one. Although she didn’t know who those people were, she acted as if she were very familiar with them and even invited them to dinner.

Shen Xizhi then followed behind her step by step, smiling gently at the others, looking like a truly virtuous wife.

Besides those who were close to Li Shuhe and often got benefits from her family, the others really didn’t care if Li Shuhe liked men or women. Anyway, they were all from Lijia Village. When the villagers went to her to buy meat, she would even give them a discount. They also didn’t like to meddle in other people’s business that much.

So they didn’t have any objections to Shen Xizhi, and a few of the young wives even praised Shen Xizhi for being beautiful.

This also made Shen Xizhi quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

But then someone behind them actually hadn’t left and was still silently watching them. After the people from Lijia Village had strode away, he finally opened his mouth and called out, “Xizhi.”

Hearing her love rival’s voice, Song Yugui’s spirit was instantly lifted. She frowned and looked back, in disbelief. “Why haven’t you left yet?”

How can your skin be so thick? At this time, haven’t you already had a happy ending with the female lead? Why are you still pestering my Xizhi?

She couldn’t quite manage a smile when she saw the male lead.

The current Xizhi was not like her past life. In her past life, she had appeared in time and had just managed to straighten her out. Xizhi hadn’t liked Song Xingchuan at all. But this time was different. Xizhi had already taken a liking to Song Xingchuan, but Song Xingchuan liked Chi Xiangyue more. What if Song Xingchuan changed his mind and didn’t like Chi Xiangyue anymore? It was hard to guarantee that Xizhi wouldn’t run back. No, she had to watch her closely.

Thinking this, Song Yugui frowned slightly and stood in front of Shen Xizhi.

Shen Xizhi then obediently stayed behind her.

Song Xingchuan had just witnessed Song Yugui’s rudeness and shamelessness and didn’t want to argue with her. If they made a scene on the street and his mother found out, she would be angry again.

So he just lowered his head and said sullenly, “I have something I want to say to Xizhi. Can you give us some space?”

Hah. “My jealousy is very strong. I can’t give you any space.”

She would not give the two of them a chance to be alone!

Shen Xizhi was so embarrassed by her words that she nervously held Xiaobao.

Xiaobao had been held in her arms by someone, her ears covered, and was sleeping. At this time, she didn’t know if she was hungry or what, but she suddenly started to cry loudly. She was small, but her voice was strong, and she cried until she was out of breath.

Song Yugui thought to herself, What a good baby! You didn’t cry when your sister was cursing people just now. Now that someone is here to pester your sister-in-law, you immediately cry. So sensible, so sensible.

Shen Xizhi’s main task every day was to take care of the child and coax her. The moment she saw Xiaobao cry, she was more anxious than anyone. She quickly held the child and bounced her a couple of times, coaxing her in a continuous stream, one moment saying she would go back and cook her rice soup, the next saying she would steam her an egg custard, and the next saying she would give her candied fruit to eat when she grew up.

Song Yugui suddenly remembered that she had said she would buy this child some goat’s milk. She had forgotten about the goat’s milk.

Forget it. I’ll buy it tomorrow. I’ll buy a lot and reward her.

She looked at Song Xingchuan with displeasure. “If you have something to say, say it quickly. This child of mine is hungry, and I’m in a hurry to go home and feed her.”

Shen Xizhi also quickly nodded, her gaze toward him filled with a hint of impatience.

Song Xingchuan suddenly didn’t know what to say. His lips moved, and finally, he just asked weakly, “You didn’t do those things. Why didn’t you tell me…”

Seeing him about to reminisce with her here, Shen Xizhi was startled, afraid that it would make Song Yugui unhappy. She quickly interrupted, “Let the past be the past. Don’t bring it up again. Song Xingchuan, we’ll go our separate ways. This is what you said.”

In the past, she had been reluctant to give up on Song Xingchuan because she had thought he was the only one who could protect her. Who knew… she had been blind.

This person had never protected her once. On the contrary, it was the lesbian she had thought was the most unreliable who had always stood in front of her.

Now she just wanted to stay by Li Shuhe’s side and live a peaceful life. She didn’t want to be destroyed by Song Xingchuan.

Song Xingchuan reached out his hand, as if wanting to grab her. Song Yugui’s willow-like brows shot up, and he immediately put it down. His ears were filled with Shen Xizhi’s gentle and soft voice, wanting to coax her to go back. She had never used this tone with him before.

He didn’t know that her attitude toward him was also something Shen Xizhi had figured out little by little. She had seen that Song Xingchuan liked gentle and dignified women, so she had deliberately acted that way for him to see. She had also seen that Li Shuhe preferred soft and delicate women. Every time she acted like this, Li Shuhe would always be more interested and would also indulge her more.
