In her world, she could not be inferior to others.
She had to be prettier than anyone else, and she had to enjoy more blessings than everyone else. Now, her man had to be more capable than all other men.
Driven by her immense sense of competition, she also took out a small handkerchief and delicately dabbed it on the man’s face, speaking in a high-pitched voice:
“A-Ye, you’ve worked hard. You’re the most amazing, able to take down two wild boars all by yourself. No one is stronger than you.”
She lifted her head proudly, her eyes sparkling as she flirtatiously winked at him, as if Zhou Kuangye had also been marked as her private possession, destined to be the strongest one.
Zhou Kuangye still didn’t understand the jealousy in women’s hearts. He only felt that Su Ying’s voice was so sweet it could almost drip honey, and his bones were nearly melted by her words.
In a moment, he might even lose the strength to butcher the pig.
He held her hand, took the handkerchief, and gently wiped the fine sweat on her nose from the heat. “Ying Bao, I’m not tired.”
“As long as you like eating it, it’s worth it.”
Zhou Kuangye had lived in the village with everyone for two years, but the men around him were seeing him speak so… affectionately for the first time. They all got goosebumps.
Xiao Xiang watched from afar, her face filled with envy. “Sent-down Youth Zhou and Sent-down Youth Su really have such a good relationship.”
Da Yong looked at her fair profile, his heart pounding. “Xiao Xing, our relationship will be just as good.”
This was the first time Zhou Kuangye had said something akin to a confession to her in front of so many people.
Su Ying felt as if she were sick—her heart was pounding faster and faster.
Her face felt as if it were on fire, and she was about to faint on the spot.
Covering her plump, flushed cheeks, she turned and ran, hiding under the shade of a nearby tree. She crouched down, holding her face.
Staring at the ground, she dared not cause any more commotion.
This Zhou Kuangye was so annoying.
How embarrassing! He didn’t even know how to hold back a little.
The spot where Su Ying hid was within Zhou Kuangye’s line of sight, but he didn’t chase after her. Instead, he immediately rejoined the pig-butchering team.
From time to time, he glanced up at her, watching her obediently crouching in place. The sweetness in his heart overflowed uncontrollably.
Wu Yan, lurking in the shadows of the crowd, noticed their sickeningly sweet interaction. She gritted her teeth so hard they nearly shattered, clenched her fists tightly, and glared at them with venomous eyes, as if piercing through mountains and rivers.
Wen Zi stood behind her, observing her murderous gaze and immediately sounding an alarm in her heart.
Wu Yan’s look was almost insane. Her identity was definitely not simple. Wen Zi boldly guessed that she might have been reborn.
Knowing that Zhou Kuangye would be more successful than Lu Pingshu in her previous life, she wanted to shift her target.
This woman had to be guarded against at all times.
After everyone divided the pork, each person joyfully carried their share home, as if celebrating the New Year—full of excitement and happiness.
Zhou Kuangye carried a side of pork on his shoulder, holding Su Ying’s hand with the other. His heart was more content than anyone else’s.
Meanwhile, Su Ying chattered about how to cook the pork. “A-Ye, let’s make fried pork meatballs for lunch. They’re crispy and delicious—I’ve been craving them for a long time.”
“I also want to drink pork rib soup.”
“As for the remaining meat, we can’t let it spoil. We should salt it, dry it in the sun, and save it to eat slowly.”
Suddenly remembering something, she glanced sideways. “You can’t send any of it to the sent-down youth point again—not even a single pound. Otherwise, I’ll bite you to death.”
“Alright, I promise all this meat is yours. No one dares to compete with you for it.”
Su Ying glanced once more at the pinkish meat, feeling as happy as if she possessed the whole world.
Back home, Zhou Kuangye fetched the largest iron basin from the kitchen and placed it in the yard, then put half a side of pork into it.
The next second, he pressed Su Ying against the large tree in the yard, lowered his head, his breathing growing scorching hot. “Ying Bao, let me kiss you quickly.”
The little woman had been clinging to him and teasing him all day, and he had long been unable to resist the urge to kiss her.
He directly sealed her cherry-pink lips, eagerly delving in to sip the sweet nectar.
One hand held her waist, the other pressed against the back of her head, forcefully molding her into his embrace.
His Adam’s apple bobbed urgently, as if he wanted to devour the woman’s soft sweetness into his belly.
Su Ying actually missed him a little too and didn’t refuse. Her arms wrapped softly around his waist as she cooperatively parted her lips…
Wen Zi walked over slowly, carrying three pounds of pork. She wasn’t very good at cooking herself and wanted to give the meat to Su Ying. The text had mentioned that Zhou Kuangye’s cooking skills were so refined he could have been a military cook.
The meals at the educated youth compound lacked flavor and oil, and she had long grown tired of them.
Just as she reached the door, which wasn’t fully closed, she gently pushed it open to enter, only to see the two of them embracing and kissing.
She immediately retreated, then curiously stole another glance. They were holding each other, their kiss passionate and inseparable.
Zhou Kuangye enveloped Su Ying’s lips completely, and in the shifting gaps, glimpses of red could be seen moving in and out.
His two hands were positioned, one above and one below, working vigorously, the veins on his arms visibly bulging.
He was as hard as iron, while Su Ying had melted into a puddle of water. Her delicate arms hooked around his neck, helplessly nestled in his embrace, allowing him to take whatever he desired.
The seductive whimpers she made stirred even Wen Zi’s heart as a woman.
No wonder Zhou Kuangye couldn’t control himself at all.
Quietly closing the door, she wandered off into the distance, deciding to come back later.
“Child, Kuang Ye, are you both back?”
Zhou Kuangye keenly sensed Grandma Ding’s footsteps drawing nearer. He took one last deep kiss, making a soft “pop” as he parted from the woman.
Panting heavily, he replied, “Grandma Ding, we’re both back.”
The woman’s eyes were flushed red from his kisses, and she gasped for breath, her chest rising and falling with each inhale, a sight that stirred the senses.
Before she could step out, he quickly leaned down and kissed her rosy cheek.
Patting her head, he said, “I’ll go fry some meat for Ying Bao.”
“Okay~~” Su Ying shot him a coquettish glare before going to assist Grandma Ding.
Her heart raced like a little deer was trapped inside.
Zhou Kuangye was getting better and better at kissing, to the point where she felt like she was about to melt.
She bit her lip and pushed the thought away.
Zhou Kuangye worked swiftly, soon washing the pork and heading to the kitchen to chop it.
Suddenly, a cuckoo’s call sounded at the door, “Cuckoo, cuckoo.”
At first, Su Ying wondered who it was, but then she remembered something and immediately slipped out stealthily.
Sure enough, she saw Lu Pingshu, who had come looking for her.
This was their agreed-upon signal: if Lu Pingshu had something urgent to discuss, he would mimic a cuckoo’s call, and she would come out.
Thinking of the man cooking inside, she guiltily pulled Lu Pingshu into the small alley to the left, her tone inexplicably carrying a hint of accusation. “Comrade Lu, why have you come looking for me?”
She kept glancing back nervously, as if afraid someone might discover them.
Lu Pingshu didn’t notice the impatience in her tone and handed her the pork portion he had received. “Comrade Su, as a grown man, I don’t need to eat meat. You can have my share.”
Free meat—in Su Ying’s mind, there was no reason to refuse it.
She was about to reach out and take it, but her hand stopped halfway. If she accepted his pork, Zhou Kuangye would surely spank her.
