Lu Yuanfeng was devouring the food, it seemed he was really hungry.
Mu Shuangshuang watched, her heart ached with sympathy.
She had traveled this road herself, knowing just how tough and arduous it was.
Unable to eat well or sleep well, and constantly worrying about bandits or robbers appearing.
"Don’t rush, there’s more in the kitchen, I made a whole pot," Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Mm!" Lu Yuanfeng looked up, smiling in contentment.
"After eating, rest, you hear?" Mu Shuangshuang reminded him.
Lu Yuanfeng shook his head, "I won’t! I can’t sleep."
Having finally come back, he wanted to see Shuangshuang enough.
"Nonsense!" Mu Shuangshuang frowned.
But still said to him, "Tonight you’ll sleep in my room, I’ll sleep in Little Zhi’s room next door, she’s sleeping with my mother tonight!"
Lu Yuanfeng hesitated for a moment, "I’d better go back to my own house!"
Lu Yuanfeng didn’t mind, but if the villagers found out, there would be talk again.
"Silly, isn’t this your home? We agreed at the beginning, this house is half yours and half mine! Yuanbao has already moved in, and you still want to live in a broken house alone?" Mu Shuangshuang laughed and asked.
Lu Yuanfeng was startled, and after a long while, he laughed, "Then I won’t go, I’ll make your bed stink so you’ll dislike me!"
"That’s just perfect, if it stinks, you’ll have to cook and do laundry for me!" Mu Shuangshuang joked in good spirits with Lu Yuanfeng.
"Alright, I’ll do your laundry and cook for you for the rest of my life!" Lu Yuanfeng said solemnly.
Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but laugh.
"That’s actually a good idea!"
Lu Yuanfeng stared at Mu Shuangshuang with intense eyes, and suddenly asked, "Shuangshuang, let’s get married!"
In Xing City, Lu Yuanfeng thought countless times about coming back and marrying Shuangshuang.
Legitimately marrying her, giving her a title.
Making her Mrs. Lu, his Lu Yuanfeng’s woman.
"Fengzi, have you thought it through?" Mu Shuangshuang’s heart raced.
"I’ve thought it through, I decided in the military camp that I must marry you when I return, to make you my wife!"
Mu Shuangshuang looked at Lu Yuanfeng, she had long decided on this man in her heart.
According to ancient ages, she was indeed at a marriageable age.
But in modern times, her age was still meant for studying.
Getting married is really too soon, too soon.
However, the position of Mrs. Lu was indeed tempting for Mu Shuangshuang.
"Fengzi, I agree! But..."
"I know, in your time, girls needed to be eighteen, twenty before legally marrying! I just can’t wait, now that you’ve agreed, I won’t be afraid!"
Lu Yuanfeng comforted Mu Shuangshuang.
Though deep down, there was still a tiny bit of disappointment.
No, it was a lot of disappointment.
Looking at this man who wanted to marry yet was willing to wait for her, Mu Shuangshuang suddenly made a major decision in her heart.
"Fengzi..."
"Yes?"
"I think we can marry early, but..."
"But what?" Lu Yuanfeng’s eyes widened.
"We must wait for my uncle to fall! We can’t immediately have children after marriage, we must wait until I’m eighteen," Mu Shuangshuang said.
Lu Yuanfeng’s face flushed at her words.
Having children is not something that can be decided alone.
He set the bowls and chopsticks down, grabbed Mu Shuangshuang’s wrist, looking at her with excitement.
"Alright! Whatever you say, I’ll listen!"
"You’re lying, listen to everything I say?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Lu Yuanfeng nodded firmly, "Yes!"
"Then no more rushing during travel like now! Ensure you have enough rest time! Also, after eating, rest immediately!"
There was so much Mu Shuangshuang wanted to say.
But she was afraid Fengzi’s body couldn’t take it.
He was too tired, and even talking to her required him to force himself to stay awake.
Lu Yuanfeng’s eyes flickered, then he nodded, "Okay!"
Lu Yuanfeng ate three bowls of noodles before he no longer felt hungry.
After eating, Mu Shuangshuang by his side was worried sick.
She couldn’t imagine what kind of life Fengzi had been living.
Three bowls of noodles were equivalent to his usual meal times three.
Lu Yuanfeng said, "Shuangshuang, I’m fine, don’t worry like this, it pains me to see!"
His hand still held hers, unwilling to let go for even a moment.
"Since you care, then don’t fool around with your body in the future." Mu Shuangshuang deliberately kept a straight face, reminding Lu Yuanfeng over and over.
"Mm!" Lu Yuanfeng nodded again.
"Am I annoying you by saying so much?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"Not annoying, even if you say it a hundred times, I love to hear it!"
As long as Shuangshuang said it, he would never feel annoyed.
"Your words are sweet, you really know how to coax girls!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Even if I know how, I’d only coax Shuangshuang!" Lu Yuanfeng said to Mu Shuangshuang.
This, Mu Shuangshuang believed, because back in the military camp, even though Wen Xiaoya had such good conditions, in looks, family background, and every aspect, he never looked at her directly.
Even when he was oppressed so badly, he never compromised for anything.
"Wait for me a moment, I’ll put the bowls away and get you a basin of hot water to soak your feet!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"You go sit on my bed first, wait for me!"
Lu Yuanfeng stood up and grabbed three sea bowls from the table.
"I’ll do it myself, you rest well!"
Lu Yuanfeng was unwilling to let Shuangshuang serve him.
He himself was eager to cherish her dearly, how could he bear to let her fuss around at night.
Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t argue with Lu Yuanfeng.
She had to follow him, watching him set the bowls and get water.
While he soaked his feet, Mu Shuangshuang was still in the room.
He started talking about matters in the army, "Shuangshuang, do you remember Shen Feng?"
"I remember! He should be called Wei Feng!"
The Second Prince of the Wei Dynasty.
"He let us through!" Lu Yuanfeng said.
"What? He let you through?" Mu Shuangshuang looked puzzled.
"Yes! Back then, the Wei Dynasty’s army split into two, one under Wei Feng, the other under Wei Lin.
Wei Lin probably wanted credit and became the main force, while Wei Feng was the backup. However, Wei Lin’s ability to lead in battles was too weak, Beichen and I easily slaughtered many Wei Army soldiers, then Wei Lin’s army fled.
When they were about to retreat to the camp, Wei Feng ordered the army to fall back, allowing us to successfully capture Wei Lin, and that’s how this battle was won!"
Lu Yuanfeng knew in his heart that if it weren’t for Wei Feng’s last move, cutting off Wei Lin’s retreat.
There was no way Ning Dynasty’s soldiers could stand up to Wei Dynasty’s forces head-on.
"Does he want to be Emperor?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
Lu Yuanfeng nodded, "He met me privately, and asked about you!"
"Asked about me?" Mu Shuangshuang frowned, filled with confusion.
"Asked about what?"
"He said... he wants to compete with me!" Lu Yuanfeng hesitated before speaking.
"Compete?" Mu Shuangshuang suddenly understood.
No wonder this guy was in such a hurry to marry her.
Was he afraid someone would snatch her away?
