Chapter 11: Besides me, who else treats you like a treasure!

Seeing the wild boar’s behavior, Jiang Nanxi was instantly furious. "What else can we do? Obviously, we’re having braised pork for dinner tonight!"

She grabbed a kitchen knife and was about to charge at the wild boar when a staff member hurriedly stopped her. "Calm down! This wild boar looks so sturdy and has tusks; if it charges and hits you, you’re done for!"

Jiang Nanxi sneered.

Seeing that the wild boar was about to finish the pig feed, she stood her ground, but she threw the kitchen knife in her hand directly at it.

*Whoosh—!*

The kitchen knife turned into a blur as it slashed across the wild boar’s face. It didn't hit the boar's head, but it sliced off one of its tusks.

*Clatter.*

The tusk fell to the ground.

"Awoo!"

The wild boar’s eyes widened as if it had received a massive shock. It spun around in circles, howling wildly, and even knocked over several domestic pigs.

The kitchen knife returned to Jiang Nanxi’s hand.

She held the knife up, looking at the wild boar with a sinister expression. "Get lost! If you dare take another bite, I’ll chop you up for braised pork!"

"Awoooo!"

The wild boar whimpered in terror and immediately bolted in the direction it had come from.

The staff members were stunned.

The audience was shocked.

【Jiang Nanxi’s kitchen knife is truly invincible; she manages to catch it every time she throws it.】

【Is there a string tied to the knife?】

【I tried it at home; even with a string, it’s impossible to throw it with such precision.】

【Can Jiang Nanxi livestream a tutorial on how she does that? I promise I’ll never bash you again!】

The wild boar had run off, and there wasn't much pig feed left in the trough—not enough for the domestic pigs to eat.

"I’ll go chop some more vegetables."

Jiang Nanxi went to chop vegetables.

Li Chu noticed a section of the pigpen fence had been damaged by the wild boar, so she brought over a board to block it, hoping to keep the pigs from escaping.

But just as she brought the board over, she saw a pig charge out of the pen like a madman. Li Chu was almost knocked to the ground.

"Nanxi, a pig got out!"

Hearing the commotion and seeing Li Chu trying to patch the pen to keep the other pigs in, Jiang Nanxi dashed out to chase the pig.

But this pig was somewhat clever; sensing Jiang Nanxi chasing it, it ran even faster.

Jiang Nanxi was speechless. She chased after it, shouting, "Why are you running? If you run out and get picked up by someone, you’ll be slaughtered and eaten! I’m the one cooking for you—who else treats you like a treasure besides me?!"

【Hahaha, who gets it? This scene is so funny. It’s the first time I’ve seen a pig run so fast!】

【Piggy: Hmm? Won't I get slaughtered if I go back with you?】

【The food is delicious, but it can't compare to freedom. Friends, it's me, the piggy—I'm choosing freedom today!】

【First time seeing a pig run so fast it leaves a blur, though Jiang Nanxi is pretty fast too; she’s almost caught up.】

Just as Jiang Nanxi was about to catch the pig, a figure suddenly ran over from the side, blocking the path between Jiang Nanxi and the pig. He spread his arms and shouted at her, "Nanxi, what are you doing? Do you need my help?"

Shen Lan?

Seeing the look of concern on Shen Lan’s face, Jiang Nanxi felt like vomiting. *You’re here to help, yet you’re blocking my way?*

Jiang Nanxi moved to the left, trying to go around him.

He moved too, blocking her path again.

Fine.

Jiang Nanxi moved to the right.

Shen Lan moved in the same direction, blocking her once more, and asked with a smug look, "Nanxi, say something? I see you’re so anxious, something must have happened. Do you need my help?"

"I do."

Jiang Nanxi looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Can’t you see my pig ran away? Help me chase it."

"Sure."

Seeing the camera filming, Shen Lan readily agreed, but he stood rooted to the spot. "Your task is to feed the pigs; why did one run away?"

Not only was he deliberately blocking her, but Shen Lan also had to show off in front of the camera.

Shen Lan: "This pig is running so fast; it’s normal for a girl like you not to be able to catch it. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you catch it."

Jiang Nanxi: "Then why are you standing there?"

Shen Lan: "I need to warm up before a sprint."

Shen Lan squatted down in front of her to stretch his legs, then slowly crouched down, placing his hands on the ground to mimic a sprinter’s starting position.

Now, not only was Jiang Nanxi speechless, but the audience was too.

【Is Shen Lan doing this on purpose?】

【I give up. What is Shen Lan trying to prove?】

【Toothpick Brother, stop warming up. If you keep warming up, the pig will reach outer space.】

The pig was running further and further away. The audience was anxious for Jiang Nanxi, but she had calmed down.

She took two steps back, positioned herself behind Shen Lan, and then delivered a fierce kick to his raised backside.

"Go!"

"Ah—!"

Shen Lan’s terrified scream rang out.

The 1.8-meter-tall man was kicked flying by Jiang Nanxi. He formed a perfect parabola in the air before landing precisely on the pig not far away.

*Thump!*

Shen Lan crashed into the pig, knocking it unconscious. The pig collapsed, and Shen Lan fell to the ground as well.

【Ah???】

【What kind of strength does Jiang Nanxi have? She kicked a person flying with one kick!】

【So satisfying! Toothpick Brother, keep showing off now!】

Before Shen Lan could crawl up, Jiang Nanxi rushed over and shouted, "Shen Lan, you’re amazing! You actually helped me catch the pig!

Shen Lan, I admire you so much! You shouldn't be chasing pigs here; you should be in the Olympics! No one can match your speed!"

Shen Lan:?

Shen Lan was helped up by the staff, feeling as if his body were falling apart. His shoulder had hit the pig, leaving a large bruise.

Especially his backside.

It was excruciatingly painful!

"Jiang Nanxi, you..."

Shen Lan wanted to lash out at Jiang Nanxi, but she was there screaming like a maniac, "Shen Lan, Shen Lan, you’re so cool! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have finished the task!

Shen Lan, Shen Lan, ahhh! You’re so fast, you’re so fast! You’re the fastest man in the world! In my heart, you’re the Olympic sprint champion!"

Lost in the frantic screaming, Shen Lan’s anger dissipated.

Looking at Jiang Nanxi’s wild behavior, he couldn't help but say, "You still can't forget me, can you? Then I’ll forgive your previous behavior."

Jiang Nanxi:?

Audience:?

Jiang Nanxi was silent for a moment, then made a "stop" gesture with her hand. "Although you are fast—fast as lightning, fast enough to finish in a second—I still can't accept you. I prefer someone with stamina."

At first, Shen Lan thought Jiang Nanxi was complimenting him, but upon reflection, something felt wrong.

His face turned black instantly. "Jiang Nanxi, what nonsense are you spouting again! If you keep slandering me, do you believe I’ll sue you?!"

Jiang Nanxi looked innocent. "I was just saying you run fast. What did I slander you about? Isn't that a compliment?"

"You...!"

Shen Lan was rendered speechless, his face turning bright red. He wanted to explain but didn't know how.

Jiang Nanxi ignored him and found a staff member to help carry the unconscious pig back.

Just as they got the pig back, they heard someone screaming by the river, "Help! Someone help! A young girl jumped into the river!"

Hearing this, Jiang Nanxi looked around. Not seeing Li Chu, she hurriedly ran toward the river.

"Li Chu!"
