As dusk deepened, the moonlight grew heavy.
The pork stall closed early, just like always.
As usual, Li Tiezhu tidied himself up and went to Wumei Medical Clinic to find Tong Tong.
"Have you eaten?" Li Tiezhu took off his gray cloth shirt.
"Not yet." Tong Tong wiped her hands and took Li Tiezhu's clothes.
"Strange, your clothes today..." Why do they smell so fishy? They usually have a faint soapy smell.
Li Tiezhu inwardly cursed, but outwardly remained calm as he asked her, "What's wrong with your clothes?"
Tong Tong keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Logically speaking, a butcher who slaughters pigs should have his clothes covered in blood every day; it would be abnormal if he smelled of soap normally.
"It's okay, this isn't the set I sewed for you, is it?"
Seeing that she didn't seem to suspect anything, Li Tiezhu immediately relented.
"No, it's not." He couldn't bear to wear that outfit...
"Wear the outfit I sewed for you tomorrow."
"good."
A peaceful night.
The next day, Tong Tong woke up early and quietly followed behind Li Tiezhu. Li Tiezhu was so focused on butchering the pig that he didn't even realize someone was following him.
When it was lunchtime, Tong Tong hadn't noticed anything unusual. Just as she was about to go eat, she saw Li Tiezhu stop a vendor selling women's headdresses and pick up a pink butterfly, looking at it from left to right.
Tong Tong immediately realized something was definitely going on! Men really are all scum! Just as she was about to rush up and yell at him, someone grabbed her sleeve.
"Who...how is it you? You want to...uh?" Tong Tong hadn't finished asking when Su Chen covered her mouth.
"Shh, don't jump to conclusions. There might be more to the story," Su Chen tried her best to reassure her.
"No, when did you get here? And how did I hide so well?"
"I just arrived and was planning to buy a pound of pork from your butcher shop when I heard you talking to yourself over here."
"Was my voice loud? Then...did he hear it too?"
"Him? You mean Butcher Li? Don't worry, he won't find you."
How can you be so sure?
"I... of course I could tell he was so focused on his work that he couldn't hear you!" Su Chen secretly wiped away a bead of sweat, almost letting the cat out of the bag!
I was woken up by the system this morning, which said that the male and female protagonists are facing a relationship crisis and that if it is not stopped, the female protagonist may unilaterally divorce.
Su Chen was shocked. She was about to finish the task and this was the last thing she was doing. She immediately ran to the butcher shop, only to find the female lead squatting there. Just as the male lead was about to spot her, Su Chen quickly called the system "daddy" and promised to exchange it for a handsome man's appearance. Finally, the system set up a shield around the female lead.
Now, apart from Su Chen and the system, no one else can see her. However, the effect only lasts for one hour; after one hour, the shield will automatically dissipate.
Su Chen snapped out of her thoughts and finally realized something was off about the male lead. "What's a grown man like him doing studying hair accessories?"
"He definitely has another woman on the side!" Tong Tong pulled out a silver needle from somewhere and was about to throw it at Li Tiezhu.
Su Chen immediately pressed down on her restless hands, "Calm down, calm down, well... maybe he just likes this kind of flower or something, everyone has their own preferences!"
"Hmph, I'm afraid he doesn't like me!" Tong Tong suddenly felt stupid. Why did she think about living a good life with him just a couple of days ago?
"This..." Su Chen felt a pang of heartache. It seemed that the female lead had been deeply hurt by the scumbag before her rebirth, to the point that she assumed everything the male lead did was an act of infidelity...
