Chapter 1427 - 1422: Turns Out to Be a Freeloader
Mu Shuangshuang had already changed into women’s clothing, and instinctively tried to hide upon seeing Shen Feng, suddenly realizing that he probably wouldn’t recognize her in this disguise.However, why did he come here?
Was it because of the sign she hung outside, or was there another reason?
So she pretended to act nonchalantly and boldly asked, "Who might you be, sir..."
Shen Feng didn’t speak but glanced in her direction.
With just that one look, Mu Shuangshuang felt that Shen Feng already knew her secret.
Yet she braced herself and continued to ask, "If you don’t speak, I’ll report you for trespassing!"
Shen Feng looked at her with a complex expression before finally saying, "I’m hungry!"
"..."
Mu Shuangshuang was taken aback. Did she hear wrong?
The man before her, was he truly the cold Shen Feng who hadn’t spoken a word for a whole month?
If not for the familiar hat on his head and the famous sword at his waist, Mu Shuangshuang would definitely have thought the person before her was an imposter.
"If you’re hungry, go to a restaurant to eat. Why come to me? I’m not running a diner!"
Mu Shuangshuang frowned, who would have thought Shen Feng would rudely start walking away.
The fury in Mu Shuangshuang’s heart flared up instantly.
She quickly stopped in front of Shen Feng.
"Sir, please show some respect!"
Mu Shuangshuang disliked how Shen Feng acted on his own without listening to other’s advice.
She knew the man before her wasn’t simple, but it didn’t mean she’d compromise easily.
"You can’t beat me!" Shen Feng said sullenly.
"Well, I have to try to find out!"
Mu Shuangshuang then charged at Shen Feng barehanded.
After such a long period of training outdoors, Mu Shuangshuang’s physical strength had improved greatly, and her punching speed had increased.
Her maneuvers were ones Shen Feng had never seen before. At first, Shen Feng was somewhat flustered in response, especially since he couldn’t draw his sword.
After dozens of rounds, many things in the yard were broken, and Mu Shuangshuang’s speed and strength began to fall behind.
Just as Shen Feng was about to win, she suddenly withdrew her fists.
With a look of impatience, "I’m done, I’m done! You wanted food, right? I’ll make it for you, but leave as soon as you’re done eating!"
I have to admit, Mu Shuangshuang’s sense of timing was somewhat amusing.
The corner of Shen Feng’s mouth curled into a slight smile beneath his hat.
But with the hat covering his face, no one but him noticed this smile.
Mu Shuangshuang went into the kitchen and began preparing food.
She even entertained the nasty thought of adding laxatives or poisonous mushrooms to Shen Feng’s food, to show him that freeloading can be dangerous.
But eventually, Mu Shuangshuang held back.
The man still wasn’t showing his true colors, so acting rashly might bring trouble.
Mu Shuangshuang had already had lunch, and really didn’t feel like eating again, but what should she make for Shen Feng?
She glanced at the remaining ingredients in the kitchen.
There were still some ribs, some meat, bean sprouts, and some leftover rice that Fengzi and she hadn’t finished before.
After considering it, Mu Shuangshuang decided to go with something casual and make hotpot.
Even though she said it was casual, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t slack off and insisted on the highest standards for herself, making the meal meticulously.
By the time the food was ready, lunch time had long passed.
She went to the hall to call Shen Feng for the meal, and incidentally went to the room to get Lu Yuanfeng’s clothes to wash them.
In Xing City, there aren’t any big rivers, so washing clothes was either using well water or going to a large pond outside the city.
But it’s so far away, the round trip is extremely inconvenient.
The weather was quite cold, and washing clothes in cold water felt even colder.
Fortuitously, Mu Shuangshuang had heated some water while cooking, mixing it with cold water meant it wouldn’t feel cold to wash.
Soon, Mu Shuangshuang washed Lu Yuanfeng’s blood-stained dirty clothes clean, and hung them to dry on the long bamboo rod in the yard.
Looking at the clothes swaying in the wind, Mu Shuangshuang felt satisfied.
Seeing that the time was about right, she originally intended to clean up the dishes in the kitchen.
Who’d have thought, upon entering the kitchen, Shen Feng was already gone.
The food she prepared on the table had been eaten completely.
More interestingly, next to the bowl was a piece of broken silver.
"Ha, is this meant as payment? That’s quite the bargain!" Mu Shuangshuang laughed and picked up the broken silver, carefully placing it in her pocket.
She wasn’t particularly concerned about Shen Feng’s sudden appearance and swift departure.
Life should go on the way it should!
Meanwhile, Lu Yuanfeng headed back along with Zheng Damao to the military camp, feeling like his life had turned upside-down.
The girl he liked had finally come by his side and even kissed him.
Lu Yuanfeng felt there was no other moment as immensely happy and satisfying as right now.
Returning to the camp, the first thing he did was to ask Zheng Damao for leave, an entire day off tomorrow.
Zheng Damao knew he was injured, and thought Lu Yuanfeng couldn’t bear it anymore, which is why he asked for leave, and agreed without any questions.
He didn’t let him do any work in the kitchen that evening either.
Lu Yuanfeng thanked Zheng Damao and returned alone to his quarters.
As he opened the door, he discovered someone was inside.
Both dressed as men, Wen Xiaoya and Mu Shuangshuang’s outfits were entirely different, one like heaven and one like earth.
Mu Shuangshuang’s disguise was hard to distinguish gender, even for him.
Wen Xiaoya’s outfit was simply styling her hair like a man’s, wearing men’s clothing, but her eyebrows and facial features looked entirely like a woman.
"Hey, young man, why didn’t you come back sooner? I’ve already had someone clean your room!"
Lu Yuanfeng slept in a communal bunk with a dozen other men.
Someone like Lu Yuanfeng who liked cleanliness was fine. But there were those who didn’t like cleanliness, not bathing or changing clothes for ten days to half a month, making the whole room stink.
Wen Xiaoya originally came to ask about Lu Yuanfeng’s injuries, but unexpectedly found such a pigsty-like environment.
She immediately instructed people to clean the room thoroughly.
The filthy stench was all thrown out.
Now the communal bunk no longer had that men’s foot odor and sweaty smell.
Lu Yuanfeng was already in a good mood, and with Wen Xiaoya actually having done something, he said, "Thank you!"
A completely grateful expression, without a hint of personal sentiment.
"And that’s it? Young man, how’s your injury really? I mean, how can you, a man, act more delicate than a woman!" Wen Xiaoya rambled on her own.
Lu Yuanfeng didn’t respond, he had already said what needed to be said.
Besides, Wen Xiaoya was a woman, so he obviously maintained a distance.
Lu Yuanfeng kept silent, and Wen Xiaoya followed him, chattering away non-stop.
