From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1090 - 1086: Go to the Northwest with Me (Second Update)

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1086: Go to the Northwest with Me (Second Update)

"Just say it!" Lu Yuanfeng didn’t think much about it and let Xing Beichen speak.

Xing Beichen thought since it’s going to be a blow sooner or later, he might as well be straightforward. At least he wouldn’t be so conflicted, and Lu Yuanfeng could make a choice earlier.

"There’s a high chance that the Northwest will resume war with Da Wei. I’m preparing to enlist for the court’s recruitment. Could you... accompany me?"

After speaking, Xing Beichen continued explaining to Lu Yuanfeng, "Fengzi, we’re still young, we can’t stay cramped in this tiny mountain village forever.

Besides... what girl doesn’t like a big hero? If you go to the Northwest with me, and someday become a general or a king, Miss Shuangshuang’s status will rise too!"

Having said that, Xing Beichen looked at Lu Yuanfeng nervously.

At this moment, Lu Yuanfeng’s face showed no expression.

He seemed to be pondering Xing Beichen’s words, but there was no sign of conflict on his brow.

Could it be... he already has an answer in his heart?

Just as Xing Beichen was worried, Lu Yuanfeng spoke: "Brother Beichen, truth be told, if I had valued those honors, I wouldn’t have come back in the first place.

Having stayed in the military camp for five years, I love that life more than anyone! It’s just, I’ve found something better now, and even if I’m not in the camp, I believe I can live well."

If Xing Beichen had come looking for Lu Yuanfeng earlier, Lu Yuanfeng might have agreed.

But ever since he mentioned this to Shuangshuang and heard her response, Lu Yuanfeng felt that returning to the camp might not be so important anymore.

"Fengzi... I know you can’t let go of Miss Shuangshuang now, but you must also understand that feelings aren’t matters of a day; they are matters of a lifetime.

Opening a tavern might seem profitable for now, but are you willing for Miss Shuangshuang to expose herself all the time in front of others?"

Xing Beichen believed that no man would be willing for his woman to be out doing this and that.

What’s more, Mu Shuangshuang has a beauty that ordinary people don’t possess.

Even if Mu Shuangshuang is smart enough, bad people can never be fully guarded against!

Indeed, what Xing Beichen said was something Lu Yuanfeng was concerned about.

In just a year’s time, Shuangshuang had undergone tremendous changes.

In another two years, Lu Yuanfeng couldn’t even imagine what she would look like in terms of appearance.

"I won’t let Shuangshuang expose herself all the time. I believe I have the ability to take care of her for a lifetime!" Lu Yuanfeng, with fists clenched, responded earnestly to Xing Beichen’s words.

Similarly, Lu Yuanfeng saying these words was equivalent to refusing Xing Beichen once again.

Although there was regret in Xing Beichen’s heart, he couldn’t put a knife to Lu Yuanfeng’s neck.

The two men stood in stalemate for a moment before Xing Beichen began to talk about what happened after he left Er Gui Village.

While chatting, they unknowingly spent an entire night together.

As dawn broke, Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen realized how quietly time had slipped away.

Xing Beichen looked at Lu Yuanfeng, noticing a clear dark circle around his eye, and remembered Yu Si Niang saying that Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng hadn’t returned in three days because of the tavern matter.

During these three days, Fengzi definitely hadn’t rested well.

And now, they had chatted throughout the night...

The more he thought about it, the more Xing Beichen felt he went too far, so he hurriedly said to Lu Yuanfeng, "Fengzi, go get some rest! Don’t do anything today!"

But Lu Yuanfeng wouldn’t listen.

"Shuangshuang and I need to go to town today. You haven’t slept all night either; you rest for a while. I’ve set breakfast on the table, ready for you when you wake up.

As for lunch, if you get up later, just go to Shuangshuang’s house to eat."

After explaining to Xing Beichen, Lu Yuanfeng got ready to head to Mu Shuangshuang’s house.

"Fengzi... it’s still early, at least rest for half an hour. Like this, are you assured letting Miss Shuangshuang ride your carriage?" Xing Beichen said.

Hearing this, Lu Yuanfeng promptly shed his shoes and clambered onto the kang.

In no time, he was asleep.

Xing Beichen was utterly bewildered, but then he chuckled softly.

After he finished laughing, Xing Beichen also climbed onto the kang, lying down next to Lu Yuanfeng.

He also needed some rest, and later, he would go to town with the two...

——

When Mu Shuangshuang woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Unwillingly, she rolled over and over, initially planning to continue her sleep.

Suddenly, from behind, a hot gaze felt like it was piercing through her.

Mu Shuangshuang reached out and grabbed Little Black from the edge of the bed, pulling it into the covers, muttering, "Little thing, peeping at me early in the morning. Be careful or I might sell you in town to make a mink fur coat! Such a coat could sell for tens of thousands in the modern world..."

Hugging Little Black, who was unwilling, just as she prepared to continue her sleep, Mu Shuangshuang noticed that the gaze behind her was still present.

Almost instinctively, Mu Shuangshuang threw off the covers, picked up the wooden stick by the bed, and sat up abruptly.

Little Black, frightened by her actions, dove back into the covers, refusing to come out again.

As for Mu Shuangshuang, upon seeing who was in front of her, she put down the wooden stick in frustration.

"When did you arrive?" Mu Shuangshuang stayed wrapped in her quilt.

"Just now. Aunt Si asked me to call you for a meal." Lu Yuanfeng’s face was flushed.

This wasn’t his first time entering Mu Shuangshuang’s boudoir, and generally, he dared not look around recklessly; today was no exception.

It’s just that today, he accidentally glimpsed Shuangshuang’s sleeping face with her eyes closed and couldn’t shift his gaze away.

"Have you eaten?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

Lu Yuanfeng shook his head, then added, "Beichen is also outside. I’ll head out now, so you can quickly change and get up; we’re off to town."

As soon as Lu Yuanfeng left, Mu Shuangshuang began dressing and also took the chance to grab Little Black by the ear, pulling it out of the covers.

Little Black’s paws flailed in the air, its eyes filled with displeasure towards Mu Shuangshuang.

"Hiss, hiss," Little Black’s aggrieved cries echoed on.

Mu Shuangshuang snorted twice in response, saying, "Serves you right for being smug around me! If you dare to show off again, I’ll pluck out your mink hairs!"

Little Black struggled more frantically.

Early in the morning, a showdown between a person and a black mink took place.

Mu Shuangshuang left her room and headed to the kitchen where Lu Yuanfeng had already laid out breakfast.

Buns and pickled vegetable soup, not just filling but also perfect since the soup could appease her appetite, it was just right after she had slept for so long.

"Miss Shuangshuang~" shouted Xing Beichen, standing up.

Mu Shuangshuang waved him off, "No need to be polite. Treat it like your own home!"

After washing up, before starting breakfast, Lu Yuanfeng handed her a cloth pouch.

"This is the twenty taels of silver from Brother Beichen!"

Mu Shuangshuang took the pouch, tossed it to Little Black, and in a flash, it darted into her room with it! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
