Chapter 1414
Xavier had been targeting the farrowing task because he would earn 1000 points if he completed it. Once he got those points, he would be able to pick any house he wanted from the six houses tomorrow. He would then exchange his cottage with Leia’s villa, and she wouldn’t be so smug then.
Xavier soon arrived at Jayden’s house at the edge of the village. Jayden was quite poor, so the village had given him that place to stay. He was relying mostly on the country’s financial support to keep him going, and he had also been given five pigs to earn his living. He worked hard and took great care of his pigs, and now it was finally the time to deliver their babies. Unfortunately, because of his lack of education, he had no idea how to help with the farrowing.
Coincidentally, the crew of The Choice of Love happened to come to the island for the show, and when Adam saw those heavily pregnant pigs, he smacked his thigh happily. “Well, isn’t this swell! I’ll make the guests help with the farrowing. Helping deliver those piglets will surely deepen their chemistry!”
His assistant sighed and muttered, “Mr. Jiminez, I really have no idea how your mind works.”
Hence, earning points by helping with the farrowing became an important part of the show. Adam had thought that the farrowing would be the first event to spike up their view count, but Xavier and Leia’s passionate kiss had stolen the
limelight instead. “It’s okay… The farrowing will be the second event to raise the view count!”
Jayden frowned in worry as he stood in front of the pigsty. When he saw Xavier approaching, his eyes lit up like he had seen his savior. Hurriedly, he ran over to him. “Hey, are you the helper they assigned to me to help with the farrowing?”
Xavier looked awkward. Although he had come over quickly, he didn’t know anything about farrowing. He had never even held a live pig before!
“Come quick! My pig can’t hold on any longer; it’s waiting for you to save it!” Jayden was practically in tears as he dragged Xavier to the pigsty. “I’m doomed if my pig dies, I wouldn’t be able to survive! Mister, I’ll leave our lives in your hands.”
“Umm, well…” Scratching his head, Xavier allowed himself to be led to the pigsty. For the first time, he had to do something he wasn’t sure of. The pigsty was about a hundred square meters wide, and was piled with weeds, pig manure, and pig food. The pungent combination of disgusting smells choked Xavier, forcing tears out of his eyes and filling him with disgust.
“Bleurgh… Wait. Let me catch my breath.” The foul smell was making Xavier’s head ache, and he didn’t even dare to take a step forward.
The pig squealed pitifully, on the verge of giving birth.
“Hurry up! My pig can’t wait any longer.” Jayden pushed Xavier into the pigsty anxiously.
Xavier stumbled into the dark pigsty, and looked at the five pregnant pigs around him. His body stiffened, and the blood drained from his face.
Surely this was a fate worse than death.
“I can do this. There’s nothing I can’t do. I’ll go all out for those points!” Xavier swallowed and rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt.
