Chapter 1433 - 1428: Sweet Life
"Sir, why don’t you wait until Fengzi comes back and ask him yourself? He knows more about his own matters than anyone else. As an outsider, I’m afraid I might not explain it clearly, causing a misunderstanding for you."
Zheng Damao was not very willing to tell the person in front of him what he knew about Lu Yuanfeng.
Ultimately, he still had some doubts about this person who could freely enter and exit the commander’s tent.
Besides, it’s always better not to reveal others’ matters without their consent.
"I say, why are you always hem and haw when I ask you questions? Do you think I might eat him or something?"
Wen Xiaoya maintained a stern face and cast an unhappy glance at Zheng Damao.
"Sir..."
"I’ll give you one more chance. If you speak, we’ll be fine, but if you don’t, don’t bother with the mess hall purchasing anymore! Let someone else do it!"
Wen Xiaoya interrupted Zheng Damao and threatened him with the consequences of not sharing information about Lu Yuanfeng.
Having no other choice, Zheng Damao could only brace himself and say: "When he first came here, he was indeed training at the drill grounds. At that time, another young man was working as the Fire Head Army here—his name was Xing Beichen.
Later, Xing Beichen and Fengzi swapped roles—one went to the drill grounds to become a soldier in the training camp, while Fengzi stayed in the mess hall.
This went on for several months, and then you know the rest! But I must say, Fengzi is truly remarkable; in the mess hall, he never shirks work and can do the job of several people.
He always strives to do everything excellently! Sir, if you really have the ability, let him go back to the drill grounds! Otherwise, the camp will lose a talented person!"
After finishing his words, Zheng Damao felt a sense of deep sorrow in his heart.
Wen Xiaoya thought deeply about what Zheng Damao said regarding Lu Yuanfeng.
After a moment, she said, "As for her matters, I will handle them! But you, quickly arrange a place for him to stay!"
After speaking, Wen Xiaoya turned and walked in the direction of Commander Wen Nantian’s living quarters.
Zheng Damao looked pleased, feeling that there was a significant turnaround in Lu Yuanfeng’s situation.
Indeed, he was anxious to share the news with Lu Yuanfeng!
...
Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang had lunch together, but neither was very interested in shopping.
After all, there wasn’t much worth seeing or buying in Xing City.
So, Lu Yuanfeng suggested going out of the city to hunt.
At this time of year, it’s easy to catch wild rabbits and pheasants.
Additionally, Lu Yuanfeng was quite experienced in this matter.
The two of them roamed around the mountains near Xing City and returned with a good haul.
Besides pheasants and rabbits, Lu Yuanfeng also caught a deer.
Carrying the deer and holding the pheasants and rabbits, they returned at dusk.
The time left for them was just dinner.
After this meal, Lu Yuanfeng had to return to the camp, and the next meeting would only be when Mu Shuangshuang entered the camp.
However, the camp isn’t a market where one can come and go as they please.
If Mu Shuangshuang wants to enter, she’ll need to work out all relationships.
Otherwise, even if she gets a chance to stay, various reasons may cause her trouble.
For dinner, Mu Shuangshuang asked Lu Yuanfeng to remove the feathers from the pheasants, and she did the rest.
Clean, chop, marinate.
Put a little oil in the pot, and when the oil temperature rises, pour the marinated chicken into the pot.
Lu Yuanfeng managed the heat in the stove, while Mu Shuangshuang handled the spatula and ladle beside it.
As the stir-frying continued, the aroma of the chicken became more intense.
After adding various spices, a handful of dried chili was tossed in at the end, and the air was filled with the chili’s spiciness.
Add water, cover with the pot lid, and wait for the juice to reduce before serving.
A simple stir-fried chicken dish was cooked.
Even Lu Yuanfeng, who had enjoyed her cooking countless times, couldn’t help but start drooling when Mu Shuangshuang lifted the lid and served the dish.
"Shuangshuang, I really wish life could always be like this!"
Lu Yuanfeng swallowed his saliva, slowing his efforts to feed the fire.
Mu Shuangshuang poured some cold water into the pot and took the opportunity to wash the pot, then came to Lu Yuanfeng’s side.
Casually, she picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and handed it to Lu Yuanfeng.
"It’s a bit hot, try the taste first!"
Lu Yuanfeng’s face turned red, guessing that Shuangshuang must have heard him swallow.
Still, Lu Yuanfeng stuck it out and ate a piece of chicken.
Wild chicken meat is much tastier than farmed chicken, and Mu Shuangshuang’s cooking method retained the chicken’s original flavor.
Eating it, Lu Yuanfeng showed a blissful expression.
"Shuangshuang, what you cook is delicious. If only I could eat it for life!"
Mu Shuangshuang smiled at Lu Yuanfeng’s compliments.
She said, "Not just for life, even in the next life, if you want to eat, I’ll cook for you!
But in return, you have to treat me well for life! Otherwise, I won’t make you anything delicious!"
Lu Yuanfeng nodded repeatedly, "Of course, you’re my wife. If I don’t treat you well, who else?"
"You’re just saying that because you’re sweet-talking!" Mu Shuangshuang pretended to be angry and said.
Lu Yuanfeng suddenly stood up and pulled Mu Shuangshuang into his arms.
Mu Shuangshuang was startled, not yet comprehending when Lu Yuanfeng said: "Shuangshuang, I’m serious. This lifetime, I’m decided on you. No matter where you are, no matter what you do, I only want you!
Only you. You’re my wife this life, in the next, and forever and ever!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Shuangshuang blushed deeply.
Her ears and neck turned bright red as well.
The scent from Lu Yuanfeng made Mu Shuangshuang breathless.
Every breath, the scent intensified.
Mu Shuangshuang took a deep breath and responded to Lu Yuanfeng, "Me too! This life, next life, and forever, I’ve decided on you!"
Lu Yuanfeng was overjoyed at Mu Shuangshuang’s words.
At this moment, holding a warm Jade in his arms, a flood of warmth surged in his heart.
Included in this warmth was his desire for Mu Shuangshuang.
"Shuangshuang, I..."
"Can I kiss you?" Lu Yuanfeng’s voice was magnetic and slightly husky.
Mu Shuangshuang moved her lips, unsure how to respond.
This silly boy, his words were becoming bolder.
"Silence means consent, Shuangshuang, I... I’ll kiss you!"
After speaking, Lu Yuanfeng lowered his head and gently cradled Mu Shuangshuang’s face. His lips lightly touched hers, and suddenly, in Mu Shuangshuang’s mind, it felt like a string snapped...
