Chapter 1425 - 1420: Days Like This Are What I Love
"Don’t put that on. The clothes are dirty. Leave them with me; I’ll wash and dry them, and then you can wear them. Wait a moment; I’ll get some clothes for you!"Mu Shuangshuang said this and went to the wardrobe, taking out a large bundle.
The bundle was full of Lu Yuanfeng’s clothes.
As for Xing Beichen’s, they were thrown in the room next door and had never entered her room.
Mu Shuangshuang noticed that Lu Yuanfeng’s clothes were quite thin, which couldn’t keep out the cold in the ever-changing Northwest weather.
She fetched a cotton garment for Lu Yuanfeng. Thankfully, she had also prepared an inner shirt for him, so he wouldn’t be wearing just a coat.
Handing the clothes to Lu Yuanfeng, Mu Shuangshuang suddenly added, "Maybe don’t put them on now; the clothes covering your wounds won’t let them breathe and might cause infection. Wait a moment, I’ll get a brazier for you!"
Mu Shuangshuang lit two braziers in the room.
Lu Yuanfeng kept smiling the whole time, watching her busy back and forth.
The more he watched, the more he felt that this was the life he had always pursued.
Shuangshuang was in front of him, and if he weren’t injured, he would have helped her with anything.
The room gradually warmed with the braziers burning.
Mu Shuangshuang fetched a basin of water and began to wash off the uneven makeup on her face; soon, a fresh beauty emerged.
Lu Yuanfeng stared at her, unwilling to shift his gaze even for a moment.
"I came with the people from Zhenyuan Escort Agency! I became an escort master there, and along the way, I dressed as you saw. Everyone thought I looked ugly, and that was safer!"
Mu Shuangshuang explained her situation with just a few words.
Lu Yuanfeng listened, feeling only amazed.
He thought the girl before him truly possessed a Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, to think of coming to the Northwest with people from the escort agency.
The people from the escort agency generally had strong martial arts skills; bandits and robbers wouldn’t dare to target them along the way.
Moreover, the people from the escort agency were extremely punctual, surely taking the shortest time to reach Xing City.
"Fengzi, how are you? Have you encountered any difficulties in the military camp?" Mu Shuangshuang asked directly.
Knowing that Shuangshuang was not easily fooled, he started telling her about his time in the military camp.
From initially being appreciated by the commander, then offending him, leading to being sent to the kitchen as part of the Fire Head Army.
And yesterday’s incident: being ambushed during a martial arts challenge.
He shared everything with Mu Shuangshuang, down to the smallest details.
After hearing everything, Mu Shuangshuang felt deeply anguished.
Especially when Lu Yuanfeng asked her with an embarrassed face, "Shuangshuang, do you think I’m particularly useless? I promised to achieve great things and then marry you, but now I’ve offended the commander and don’t even have the qualifications to go to battle!"
"What are you talking about? In my heart, you’ve always been a hero! As for being in the kitchen, I see no problem with that. At least you’ve made many friends there.
Your cooking skills should have improved a lot too. When we get married, you can cook for me!" Mu Shuangshuang said with a bright smile.
"Fengzi, gold will shine no matter where it is. No one’s life is a smooth journey; experiencing some hardships is only beneficial, not harmful!"
Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t thought about achieving great things as a requirement to marry her.
The reason she wasn’t marrying Lu Yuanfeng now wasn’t due to those material conditions that weren’t important.
But because she was still too young.
She was only fifteen, just past the coming-of-age ceremony. If she were an ancient person, marrying wouldn’t matter.
But she wasn’t; she was a modern person!
She had to be responsible for her body; marrying and having children too early wasn’t a good thing.
However, Fengzi understood these reasons, so Mu Shuangshuang didn’t need to explain again.
After listening to Mu Shuangshuang, Lu Yuanfeng felt much better.
He grinned foolishly at her, a trace of happiness in his eyes that couldn’t be erased.
"Are you hungry? I’ll go get you something to eat. By the way, when do you have to return to the military camp?"
Mu Shuangshuang knew that Lu Yuanfeng likely came out today under the guise of buying supplies.
Either he had to return before noon or before evening.
"I’m not hungry, just having you by my side is enough! I have to go back by noon, but I can ask if I can have a half-day off! I’ve been saving my leave for several days."
As Lu Yuanfeng spoke, he seemed slightly proud.
Mu Shuangshuang was full of helplessness, thinking that in just a few months, Fengzi had become more childish?
Oh well, as long as he’s here!
"Don’t take leave today; take it tomorrow. Come out earlier and return later, so we’ll have more time together!"
Mu Shuangshuang was completely immersed in the joy of Lu Yuanfeng’s arrival.
She began to plan Lu Yuanfeng’s schedule for outings.
Lu Yuanfeng was extremely satisfied.
He nodded repeatedly, "Then I’ll return at noon!"
"In that case, I must make something delicious for you! How about I use the stove outside, then you can see me and smell the food."
Mu Shuangshuang said this while observing Lu Yuanfeng’s expression.
Seeing his eyes and brows showing smiles, she knew he agreed.
Injured people should replenish their strength; he must have lost a lot of blood from his wounds.
Mu Shuangshuang thought about it and then left the house. At a nearby pork stand, she bought two pounds of pig’s blood, a pound of lean meat, and two pounds of pork ribs.
When she went out, Mu Shuangshuang had changed into women’s clothing, which attracted many people’s attention.
The pork seller, seeing how pretty she was, even gave her a pair of pork intestines for free.
Mu Shuangshuang accepted happily and returned home with her purchases.
Because she had gone out to buy things, some time had passed.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lu Yuanfeng standing in the courtyard.
He wasn’t wearing a jacket, just standing in the cold wind, eagerly looking at the door.
He looked just like a pet abandoned by its owner.
"What are you doing? Aren’t you worried about catching a cold?"
Although it was winter and there was no snow, and the sun shone, it was genuinely cold.
Inside the house with braziers was fine, but out here, in the freezing cold, what was there?
After Mu Shuangshuang scolded him, Lu Yuanfeng went back inside.
Earlier he had called Shuangshuang’s name, and when there was no response, he hurried everywhere searching for her in the kitchen; he couldn’t find anyone. He even searched the entire courtyard, but saw no one.
Lu Yuanfeng immediately felt as if a knife stabbed into his chest, causing immense pain.
Fortunately, she hadn’t left; she was still there!
Seeing Lu Yuanfeng still smiling, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but say, "You silly thing, do you feel proud being scolded? Still laughing!"
Lu Yuanfeng nodded earnestly, "As long as Shuangshuang scolds me, I’m happy!"
"You..." Mu Shuangshuang was completely helpless, but she knew that everyone had their own struggles.
She no longer blamed Lu Yuanfeng and began preparing lunch for him.
Pork and pig’s blood stew was made, with bean sprouts inside.
The rice was from the morning, and Mu Shuangshuang grilled some small ribs on an iron plate. The fragrance spread, making Lu Yuanfeng drool.
