Chapter 16: Protecting her Wife

After getting out of the car, Xia Linxia didn’t want to pay attention to her, so she took a few steps forward and hooked her arm around Song Wanyi’s neck, walking together with her.

Song Wanyi had her left arm around her boyfriend, and on her right, she was suddenly clamped by Xia Linxia: “…?”

Fang Qiushuang looked at them and laughed, waiting for Ji Fengxue and saying, “Your little friend is very cute.”

“Yes, indeed,” Ji Fengxue replied with a smile, trying her best to ignore the injury on her foot.

Just now, when they got out of the car, Xia Linxia had stomped hard on her foot at a tricky angle. Ji Fengxue then calmly lowered her head as if picking something up, wiped away the footprint, and forced herself to compliment, “She is really very cute, hehe.”

After returning to the villa, the kitchen quickly filled with people. Xue Hui was driven out by Song Wanyi and sat in the living room drinking tea and watching TV with Tang Yuande. Xia Linxia didn’t like the kitchen, so she found an excuse to slip out and joined the tea-drinking group.

“This tea is nice,” Xia Linxia said, taking a sip. “It has a floral and fruity fragrance, fresh and mellow, perfect for enjoying in these mountains.”

“Oh, does little Xia know how to taste tea?” Tang Yuande suddenly became interested. “This is top-grade Biluochun, a gift from Xiao Ji.”

“Occasionally, I drink a couple of cups with my dad,” Xia Linxia smiled, recalling the tea-making lessons from her father. Seeing the tea set on the table, she picked out a few white porcelain cups and poured hot water to warm them.

Tang Yuande and Xue Hui quietly watched as Xia Linxia poured out the water, refilled the cups to seventy percent, and selected tea leaves to steep in the water. The tea leaves gradually sank and unfolded, revealing a new spring in the water.

Her slender fingers rubbed the rim of the cup for a moment as Xia Linxia focused intently on the changing tea leaves, exuding a sense of tranquility.

[Ahhhhh, Xia Xia baby is so beautiful!]

[Xia Linxia is truly stunning when she’s quiet. This profile shot is amazing! Please, just be a quiet beauty!]

[This is the first time I’ve seen Xia Linxia make tea, it’s a bit surprising.]

About five minutes later, Xia Linxia poured the first brew into each cup and handed one to everyone: “Try it first, it’s bitter at first but has a sweet aftertaste.”

Then she added water to the teapot for a second brew, which diluted the bitterness, making it mellow and aromatic. The drinkers savored it, expressing their satisfaction.

The third brew of tea gradually became lighter, and the faint aroma of tea lingered in the air.

Tang Yuande couldn’t help but applaud, “Your father is very fortunate.”

Xia Linxia suddenly smiled, looking harmless, “No, I am the fortunate one.”

“Teacher Ji, Teacher Fang, would you like to try some?” Xue Hui noticed someone passing by the kitchen door and greeted them.

Fang Qiushuang, holding a bunch of scallions, pulled Ji Fengxue along with a smile, “Sure, let’s try it. Xiao Ji was cutting onions and got teary-eyed.”

Hearing this, Xia Linxia paused her tea drinking and looked up, seeing Ji Fengxue’s usually clear eyes now red and a bit moist. She couldn’t help but ask, “You hate onions, why did you cut them?”

Fang Qiushuang was taken aback, “Oh dear, Xiao Ji, do you dislike onions?”

“It’s fine, it’s just for seasoning, you can’t really taste it,” Ji Fengxue said, wiping her tears with a tissue.

“Tsk.” Xia Linxia picked up an untouched cup and offered it to her, “Have some tea to soothe yourself.”

Ji Fengxue drank two sips directly from the cup and gave a thumbs-up.

[Too sweet, feeding her tea personally.]

[Xia Xia, I want some too~~~~ I’m imagining eating P right now.]

[Sigh! Xia Xia baby is taking care of someone, how rare!]

[Ji Fairy looks so beautiful even when she cries, I want to bully her, chicken coop warning.jpg]

“Hold it yourself,” Xia Linxia said.

Ji Fengxue, once her eyes were no longer irritated, took the cup and sat down nearby.

Xia Linxia turned and walked into the kitchen. Soon, the sound of chopping and Song Wanyi’s screams filled the kitchen: “Ah ah ah ha!”

Xue Hui and Ji Fengxue were startled and rushed to the kitchen. They saw Xia Linxia with one hand in her pocket and the other holding a knife, smashing the onion to pieces, while Song Wanyi laughed uncontrollably, saying, “Haha, Linxia’s expression while ‘killing’ the onion was so like a hitman. You guys must watch the replay.”

[I saw it, haha! So fierce!]

[Protecting her wife, even if the opponent is an onion!]

[I suddenly get Xia Linxia’s girlfriend power! How many more surprises do you have for us?]

Xia Linxia directly threw the onion into the trash can, saying, “I just didn’t watch you for a while, and you bought onions, what a waste of money.”

“…I didn’t know either,” Ji Fengxue said. After buying groceries, everyone had split up. It wasn’t until she got the onion to cut that she realized it was there.

“Sorry, I should have asked first,” Song Wanyi apologized.

“It’s my fault, I should have mentioned it. No problem, we need to prepare dinner quickly,” Ji Fengxue reassured her, and they exchanged smiles, making Xia Linxia feel a bit jealous.

Xia Linxia walked out and Ji Fengxue whispered as she was passing by, “Thanks.”

“No big deal,” Xia Linxia replied with a raised eyebrow, her steps lightening as she almost ran to the living room.

Tang Yuande chuckled, “Xia and Ji have a great relationship.”

Xia Linxia’s smile stiffened, and she awkwardly explained, “I’m just afraid if something happened to her, it would cause big trouble.”

[Xia Linxia, mouth says no, body says yes, got it?]

[Yeah, sure, you’re just worried about trouble. We’ll pretend to believe it.]

[Do you think those excited little steps are fake? You might as well write “My wife appreciates me, I’m so happy” on your face.]

Half an hour later, the six of them sat around the hot pot, raising their glasses to celebrate their first dinner together.

Although Xue Hui was tall and big, he was completely henpecked, obediently serving Song Wanyi first.

“So sour!” Xia Linxia exclaimed, “Did someone add lemon to this hot pot?”

Song Wanyi laughed.

“Eat your food, you talk too much,” Ji Fengxue said, putting a piece of beef in her bowl.

Xia Linxia was stunned for a few seconds. Usually, only her family served her food. She didn’t have many genuine friends in her circle, and her old classmates hadn’t been in touch for a long time.

“Oh, I’m the one who’s sour!” Song Wanyi yelled back, “Teacher Ji cooked the meat for so long, and it all went to you!”

Xia Linxia proudly shrugged her shoulders, “Can’t help it, she just loves me so much.”

Song Wanyi: “Eww~”

[Eww eww eww~ Someone is showing off their love here, reporting it.]

[Ji Fairy keeps giving Xia Linxia food, in perfect sync with Xue Hui, haha.]

[Tang Yuande and Fang Qiushuang are just like an old married couple, each eating their own food. I wonder how they feel eating with the other two couples?]
