On the way back, Shitou always looked at Shen Siyue with a silly smile.
Shen Siyue was so embarrassed and annoyed by his gaze that she rolled her eyes at him and used her other hand to confront him: "Why are you looking at me? Look at the road!"
“Haha, okay, look at the road, look at the road, it looks good.” Shi Tou laughed like a big fool, and he felt that Shen Siyue’s eye roll just now was full of coquettishness.
And it was a coquettish expression towards him, which made Shitou's heart boil with heat.
The two first arrived at Shen Siyue’s dilapidated house.
Shitou took off the backpack, pulled up Shen Siyue's arm, and checked her up and down, front and back. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had no wounds on her body, only her clothes were torn.
"Luckily you weren't hurt. Why did you go to the mountains alone?"
Shi Tou asked this question naturally because he was worried.
As soon as he said it, he regretted it.
But Shen Siyue no longer had any of her previous shyness, but openly admitted her previous thoughts.
"Do you want to leave you behind and eat alone? Every time I went into the mountains with you before, I always felt like I was taking advantage of you. I want to be more independent and can't always rely on others!"
As he spoke, the smile on Shi Tou's face faded, and was followed by a sense of loss.
Shen Siyue immediately pulled his hand: “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”
In response to Shen Siyue’s bold show of goodwill, Shitou’s previous disappointment was swept away, and he shook his head violently: “No, no, no.”
Feeling the big hand in his hand, Shen Siyue looked at him steadily: "We are temporarily confirmed as a couple. Do you know what a couple means? It means that you like me, I like you, and then the two of us will be together."
"After spending some time together, if it's suitable, we'll get married. If it's not suitable, then we'll break up. We won't have anything to do with each other's marriages or funerals in the future. Got it?"
When Shitou heard this, he said anxiously: "I will not break up with you. I will definitely marry you."
Shen Siyue raised her hand and pressed it on his mouth: “I don’t need your verbal promises, I want to see your actual actions in the future.”
Shi Tou nodded. He could definitely do it.
After confirming the relationship, Shen Siyue adapted to this relationship earlier than Shitou.
She asked Shitou to take the wolf home and deal with it.
When the topic came to the wolf corpse, Shitou became more relaxed: "Wait for me to peel off the wolf skin and cook it. Then I will use it as a cushion on the kang in winter. It will definitely keep you warm."
Shen Siyue still hated it for almost eating her before, and felt a little disgusted: "I dare not spread it, looking at it reminded me of when I was on the mountain just now, I almost died in its mouth."
Shitou touched the wolf's fur and patiently explained to Shen Siyue: "In order to survive the winter, wolves will change into thicker fur, so the wolf skin at this time is particularly good."
"I've heard people say that when some older people get cold in winter, they'll ask around to see who has wolf skins. So this is a good thing and you can sell it for a good price!"
Shen Siyue was still unmoved, always feeling that it was awkward to lay this thing under her: "Then it's better to sell it, and get some money!"
But Shitou didn’t plan to sell it. Since Shen Siyue was afraid to see it, he would buy a piece of good material, sew the wolf skin inside, and make a mattress for Shen Siyue.
This kind of thing is hard to come by. If you miss it, you will never have it again.
Shen Siyue suddenly thought of a question: "Why did this wolf run to the mountain outside?"
How can people enter the mountains in the future?
Shitou opened the wolf's mouth and observed: "This should be an old wolf. I heard that when the leader of the wolf pack gets old, stronger wolves will come to compete for the position of wolf king."
"Some defeated wolf kings will leave the pack and wander alone. I wonder if this wolf is in this situation?"
Shen Siyue nodded as if she understood. The deep mountains might belong to a wolf pack, and this old wolf could only take the risk of stepping into human territory to find food.
"Oh, did it eat all the rabbits in the rabbit traps we set?"
Shen Siyue suddenly remembered the rabbit traps that she and Shitou had tied separately, which might have been ruined by the wolf, and she felt distressed.
Shitou looked at her sideways and smiled: "Don't worry about that. When you were away for a few days, I went into the mountains to check and found that none of them were caught."
He wanted to laugh when he talked about this, although he told himself again and again that all these gains were because of Shen Siyue, he still couldn't help but keep verifying it.
Sure enough, the few times I went there alone, the rabbit trap was still there intact, with no signs of movement.
Hearing that the rabbit was not caught, Shen Siyue finally felt less hatred towards the wolf.
Shen Siyue urged Shitou again: "Hurry up and go back, otherwise when the wolf's body is frozen solid, it will be difficult to skin it, right?"
Although this is the case, Shitou is really reluctant to leave Shen Siyue.
If eyes could draw lines, Stone’s eyes would probably be glued to Shen Siyue.
She rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Still looking, keep looking, or I'll dig your eyeballs out."
Although the words were harsh, when they came out of Ana Shen’s mouth, they turned into a fight between young lovers.
Sure enough, Shi Tou started grinning foolishly again.
Shen Siyue couldn’t help but pursed her lips and laughed.
The general public is not lying to me, people who fall in love tend to do stupid things!
The two of them stayed in the shabby house without a roof for a while before packing up and heading back to the village.
Although the relationship between the two was established, when walking in the village, Shen Siyue still had to avoid suspicion with Shitou.
At least we have to wait until Shen Siyue moves out of the Shen family before we can make their relationship public.
Otherwise, given the nature of the Shen family, they would definitely interfere.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the two of them could only get along secretly for now.
Shen Siyue didn’t think it was a big deal, but Shi Tou felt a little sorry: “I’m sorry for making you feel wronged!”
Shen Siyue looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong with this? I don't want those blood-sucking bugs in the Shen family to know so early! So that they won't make trouble."
"From now on, I will make my own decisions regarding my own affairs, and no one can interfere with me."
The two of them entered the village one after the other. Shitou waited until Chen Siyue was far away before entering his own courtyard.
As soon as he entered, he locked the door.
He threw the wolf to the ground and started to boil water.
He had to get the wolf skin and wolf meat out as soon as possible.
When Shen Siyue was returning to Shen's house, she happened to meet Shen Limin who was also going home.
As soon as he saw Shen Siyue, Shen Limin was like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding in a corner, his eyes wandering, and he looked like a ghost.
But now Shen Siyue just wanted to wash her hands and feet as soon as possible, so she didn’t have time to pay attention to him!
