From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

”No jokes about this either!” Lu Yuanfeng looked at Mu Shuangshuang with a straight face. ”Shuangshuang, don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect you. Worst comes to worst, I’ll just leave this camp!”

Lu Yuanfeng had thought it all through. Coming to enlist in the army was to give Shuangshuang more dignity.

So she wouldn’t be crushed under Mu Dade. But if coming here meant Shuangshuang would be wronged, he’d rather not be in this camp at all!

”What silly things are you saying? It hasn’t gotten to that point yet! Besides, do you really think I’m some delicate little flower anyone can bully?

That Miss Wen, she looks spoiled and domineering, but she’s not completely unreasonable. What’s more, I’m not some saint who just lets people walk all over me! If someone hits me once, I’ll hit back ten times!”

As she spoke, Mu Shuangshuang lifted her fist, deliberately putting on a fierce expression.

Lu Yuanfeng was amused by her, and only then was this matter considered done and over.

”By the way, how’s your injury?”

While there was a break in cleaning up the little kitchen, Mu Shuangshuang suddenly asked.

Lu Yuanfeng was taken aback for a moment, then after a while said, ”Pretty much healed. I can go to the drill ground for proper training tomorrow!”

”Then tonight I’ll put medicine on it again and check how it is. But even if it’s mostly healed, don’t push yourself too hard during training, okay?”

Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t afraid Lu Yuanfeng would find her naggy. She nagged him several times in a row about the spot where he was injured.

Lu Yuanfeng kept a smile on his face the whole time, not the slightest hint of impatience.

But his gaze stayed fixed tightly on Mu Shuangshuang, which actually made Mu Shuangshuang feel a bit embarrassed.

”Alright, everything’s tidied up here. Let’s go back and sleep!” Mu Shuangshuang said to Lu Yuanfeng.

”Wait, I’ll heat up some water for you first so you can wash up tonight. In the camp, most of the men use cold water. You’re not like them. Using hot water is better for your body.”

Lu Yuanfeng suddenly spoke, and what he said was out of concern for Mu Shuangshuang.

Only then did Mu Shuangshuang remember that even though she was dressed as a man now, she was still a woman. In the dead of winter, bathing in cold water really wasn’t a good idea.

Mu Shuangshuang boiled two full iron pots of hot water and had Lu Yuanfeng carry them in a wooden bucket back to his quarters.

Luckily this time Lu Yuanfeng had his own room; otherwise Mu Shuangshuang really would’ve had to go to the cooks’ quarters and live with that bunch of kitchen hands.

Bathing would be out of the question, and even sleeping she’d have to stay on guard.

Following Lu Yuanfeng back to his place, Mu Shuangshuang saw that he had already prepared a wooden tub and what she needed for bathing.

His face was flushed red as he pointed at the steaming water. ”I’ll wait outside and keep watch. Call me when you’re done, I’ll pour the water out for you!”

”Okay!”

In the middle of winter, soaking in a hot bath really was an especially comfortable thing.

By then it was already late; outside, it was pitch dark and the cold wind was howling.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t dare waste too much time. She washed quickly and then called Lu Yuanfeng into the room.

After the bath, all the grimy stuff on Mu Shuangshuang’s face had been washed clean, revealing her true features.

As soon as Lu Yuanfeng came in, he saw Mu Shuangshuang sitting on the bed, hugging the quilt.

His face instantly flushed bright red. ”Are you cold? Do you want me to get a brazier of charcoal for you?”

”I’m fine. Hurry up, wash up and get up here to sleep!”

As soon as Mu Shuangshuang said this, Lu Yuanfeng’s knees went weak, and he nearly dropped the wooden bucket he was holding.

He stared, eyes wide, at Mu Shuangshuang, his face full of shock.

”Shuangshuang, what did you just say?”

”Call me Da Niu, don’t get us found out! Right now I’m a ’man,’ and you’re a man too. Us sleeping together, isn’t that perfectly normal?”

Mu Shuangshuang shot Lu Yuanfeng a reproachful look.

Seeing this silly guy actually trembling, she even wickedly wondered if she really was setting this fool in front of her up.

But in such cold weather, she really didn’t want him sleeping on the floor.

Forget it, just think of it as exercising their rights as husband and wife a little ahead of time. Anyway, they were just going to sleep, nothing more!

Once Lu Yuanfeng had finished straightening up the room, he came back in, still nervous as anything.
