From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1070 - 1066: Unexpected Surprise (Part 2)

"Yes, maybe there will be a turnaround!" Mu Shuangshuang echoed.

Looking at it from the present, there seems to be no problem with Chengfeng Restaurant, but from a long-term perspective, problems may indeed arise, and possibly significant ones.

Although boosting others’ spirits while diminishing one’s own might isn’t good, people must also learn to anticipate potential dangers and plan their escape routes before disaster strikes.

"Fengzi, you mentioned earlier that someone wants to buy my manuscript? Who is it?" Mu Shuangshuang suddenly asked.

She gives four free storytelling sessions a month. Whenever it’s the day for storytelling, the afternoon tea and snack revenue at the restaurant would be three or four times higher than usual.

All in all, it seems she’s not losing anything. Or rather, she incurs losses but brings more business to the restaurant.

Mu Shuangshuang has always approached this venture with a playful attitude. If someone really wants to buy her manuscript, she wouldn’t mind selling it, but the price needs to be right.

After all, writing a long novel like Journey to the West requires quite a bit of time.

"Yes! You know them too, it’s someone from Jiu Si Xuan." Lu Yuanfeng said.

"But it seems they don’t intend to use it for storytelling at their restaurant. I heard their owner, Zheng Zhi, listened to your story that day and couldn’t stop thinking about the rest. He was so curious he couldn’t eat or drink and sent someone to enquire if it could be turned into a booklet, and they’re willing to pay a high price for it!"

Mu Shuangshuang nodded in understanding.

"So that’s how it is. Since Zheng Zhi wants to know the rest of the story, I’ll write it! But the book might be long, finishing it will probably take quite some time."

Lu Yuanfeng himself was also captivated by the story’s content, occasionally Mu Shuangshuang would tell him in advance the highlights of the story she would narrate, yet he could never hear enough.

As if reading his thoughts, Mu Shuangshuang began recounting the next part of the story.

Lu Yuanfeng listened breathlessly, hardly daring to blink as he focused intently on Mu Shuangshuang.

Though it was night, the warmth from the bonfire dispelled any chill.

Mu Shuangshuang reached an exciting part, feeling unable to stop, and before they knew it, time had slipped into the following dawn.

When the rooster crowed for the first time, they were startled, realizing they’d spent an entire night storytelling and chatting by the fire...

Lu Yuanfeng, a bit anxious, urged Mu Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, go rest in my room for a while. Staying up all night is hard on anyone, I’ll make breakfast for you!"

Lu Yuanfeng, solely concerned for Shuangshuang, didn’t mind that he too hadn’t slept all night.

Mu Shuangshuang felt touched yet helpless.

She had found herself a man who cared for her, though unfortunately, this man only had eyes for her, not even bothering to consider his own wellbeing.

In her urgency, Mu Shuangshuang grabbed his hand and shook her head, "Let’s take a nap together! Let’s skip the restaurant today and treat it like a holiday. We don’t need to rush breakfast, we’ll eat once we’re rested!"

"Ah..." Lu Yuanfeng was dumbfounded.

His face turned instantly red like a monkey’s behind, and his gaze at Mu Shuangshuang was filled with shyness.

"Shuangshuang, I...I’ll wait for Yuanbao to wake up and sleep in his room instead!" Lu Yuanfeng said.

Mu Shuangshuang was also taken aback, not knowing why she suggested sleeping together.

But once the words were spoken, could they be taken back?

Mu Shuangshuang reconsidered: she and Lu Yuanfeng were already engaged, practically making her half his wife. Even if she slept at Fengzi’s house, it wouldn’t be an issue as long as they didn’t do anything improper.

"Why are you blushing! I’m going to sleep, don’t care about you anymore."

Mu Shuangshuang walked into the room first, without any reservation with Lu Yuanfeng, she spread out his quilt, took off her shoes, and got onto the bed to sleep.

Lu Yuanfeng outside remained dazed for a long time.

He glanced at his room, then at Yuanbao’s room, gritted his teeth, and eventually chose his own room.

On the bed, with one person already asleep, the quilt rose in the center.

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang’s outer clothes on his chair, Lu Yuanfeng took several deep breaths before daring to get into bed.

Heart pounding, Lu Yuanfeng lay stiffly, afraid to move.

Inside the quilt, a fragrance different from the past wafted over. As he thought about the person before him becoming his wife someday, Lu Yuanfeng calmed considerably.

...

When he woke up, it was already midday.

On the bed, only Lu Yuanfeng was left, the petite figure had long vanished.

Panic set in, he began searching, finally finding a still steaming bowl of porridge on the table.

Next to it lay an egg, with a piece of paper pressed beneath the egg.

Lu Yuanfeng climbed out of bed, hesitating initially whether to take the note since he didn’t know how to read.

Upon seeing the drawing on the paper, he suddenly smiled.

Mu Shuangshuang’s drawing skills were good, a few strokes sketched a woman with hair — it was her.

The woman was carrying a hoe, busy in a backyard, indicating she was in Lu Yuanfeng’s backyard weeding and planting.

After drinking the porridge, Lu Yuanfeng pocketed the egg and fetched another hoe from the storage room.

He didn’t know when Mu Shuangshuang woke up or when he fell asleep, still somewhat in a daze even now.

But this peculiar feeling made him very happy.

In the backyard, Mu Shuangshuang had already dug several rows for the vegetable garden, focused on her work, unaware of Lu Yuanfeng’s presence.

The sudden presence of an egg made Mu Shuangshuang look up.

Narrowing her eyes, she smiled at Lu Yuanfeng, "I’ve eaten, you have it yourself!"

Lu Yuanfeng insisted, taking her hoe and forcing the egg onto her.

"You’re thinner than me, eat more!"

With that, he began working effortlessly.

Lu Yuanfeng had more strength than Mu Shuangshuang, turning the soil almost as fast as walking, each hoe swing overturning earth.

With the egg in her hand, Mu Shuangshuang smiled and shook her head.

Putting the egg in her pocket, Mu Shuangshuang picked up the hoe Lu Yuanfeng brought over, deciding to continue with the garden preparations.

Preparing the vegetable garden involves two steps: turning the soil, and finishing the soil.

Finishing is delicate work, breaking all the larger clods of dirt, then digging small holes above for sowing seeds.

When Lu Yuanfeng looked up and saw Mu Shuangshuang working again, his grip on the hoe faltered.

He walked forward several steps, took Mu Shuangshuang’s hoe from her, placed it beside his feet, and advised, "I’ll handle this, you’ve worked enough, go rest!"

Unable to refuse his insistence, Mu Shuangshuang could only watch from the side.

But she couldn’t sit idly, it was just past noon, so she went to the back hill to feed the chicks and add water. When Lu Yuanfeng rested, she returned from the hill.
