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

Chapter 379: Chapter 377: Go Back and Tell You (Second Update)

”Grandma Cui, did you say Fengzi hurt himself?” Mu Shuangshuang asked anxiously.

In her heart, she cursed that fool Lu Yuanfeng a thousand times. How could she not know her own body’s condition? Although she’s thin, she hasn’t been sick.

This time, it was her period. Since she came to this world, she completely forgot about it; how could it be his fault!

”You silly girl, you’re focusing on the wrong thing, I...” Grandma Cui looked at Mu Shuangshuang with an expression of disappointment, as if she was hopeless.

The more Mu Shuangshuang listened, the more confused she became, but gradually, she began to understand that Grandma Cui was trying to play matchmaker for her and Fengzi.

It seemed everyone thought she and Fengzi were a couple, but Fengzi had never said he liked her!

It’s not that Mu Shuangshuang was stubborn; in her heart, liking someone is liking them, and not liking someone is not liking them.

But there was a faint sense of loss in her heart. Someone like Fengzi, if he doesn’t say it, probably doesn’t like her enough, or maybe it’s something else...

Mu Shuangshuang’s thoughts drifted away, so much so that she didn’t notice Lu Yuanfeng returning from the village entrance, entering the house again.

Lu Yuanfeng was frightened by her silent demeanor. ”Shuangshuang, what’s wrong? Is your stomach... still hurting?”

Faced with Lu Yuanfeng’s concerned gaze, ripples stirred in Mu Shuangshuang’s heart. There were things she wanted to ask now, but feared it would be too abrupt.

Now, she was certain that she liked Lu Yuanfeng.

Even just now, when Grandma Cui was speaking, she recalled all her moments with Lu Yuanfeng.

Unconsciously, he had already occupied her life.

He’s even the first person she wants to see upon opening her eyes.

”I... I’ll go call Grandpa Zhang for you... you... just bear with it, I’ll go right now!” Lu Yuanfeng, feeling uneasy, hurriedly went to call for help.

But Mu Shuangshuang grabbed his wrist.

”You... Lu Yuanfeng, tell me honestly, why are you so good to me?”

For fear that she wouldn’t be able to sleep later and would keep brooding over this matter, feeling unhappy, Mu Shuangshuang boldly asked.

Lu Yuanfeng’s body stiffened, his heart suddenly raced, as if words were on the tip of his tongue.

Seeing him silent, Mu Shuangshuang bit her lip.

”If I were to marry someone else, what would you do?”

A ’snap’ sound echoed, and Lu Yuanfeng’s heart felt shredded into countless pieces, reduced to fragments, barely able to stand.

His heart roared, angrily howling; he wanted to say no, but...

”If, in the future, we could never meet again, what would you do?” Mu Shuangshuang asked again, unwilling to give up after not getting a response.

The feeling of scratching an itch through a boot was unbearable; she wasn’t someone who could suppress her feelings for long.

Although, given the current situation, it was rather early for the two of them to talk about feelings.

But how many times in life is there someone you want to fight tooth and nail to keep?

Mu Shuangshuang never expected Lu Yuanfeng to have such a wild side. After her last question, she was pulled into his embrace, his arms like chains, tightly locking her within.

She felt him trembling, sensed his fear...

”Shuangshuang, I want to be good to you for a lifetime, take care of you forever, be with you always, hold your hand for life, is that okay?”

Lu Yuanfeng’s face was less than three centimeters from hers; she could see his long eyelashes, and he could see her blushing with nervousness.

They could smell each other’s scents; she carried the medicinal smell of Angelica from just having drunk it, while Lu Yuanfeng, who had just been outside, carried a scent of sweat, though not unpleasant.

The two, drawn to each other, were anxious for one another...

The atmosphere became suddenly subtle.

”Do you like me?” Mu Shuangshuang opened her mouth, breaking the mood.

She lacked a sense of security; this insecurity was a leftover effect from her time-traveling experience, some matters she knew the answers to, yet she wanted more certainty.

She didn’t force Fengzi to continue liking her in the future, but she wanted just a little security now.

”Yes, I like you, I like you very much, very much!”

Lu Yuanfeng cherished the warmth of Shuangshuang’s face, rubbing his hand gently over her face, then said, ”But I have nothing. I don’t have a mother, and though I have a father, it’s no different than not having one. I have no land, and my house is falling apart.

All I have are these hands, and I can spend a lifetime working hard for you, Shuangshuang, would you give me this chance?”

Lu Yuanfeng looked at Shuangshuang intently; he was reluctant to let go of her, reluctant even to look away, fearing the next second would bring a rejection.

”If you carry me back, I’ll tell you the answer!” Mu Shuangshuang suddenly smiled, playfully winking at Lu Yuanfeng.

Lu Yuanfeng’s heart raced a bit faster.

Vaguely, he sensed Shuangshuang’s answer.

Eagerly, he offered his back to Shuangshuang, and once she climbed on, Lu Yuanfeng suddenly felt a never-before-felt sense of fulfillment.

It was as if his heart was being filled, happiness nearly overflowing.

Carrying Shuangshuang, Lu Yuanfeng once again forgot about his prey and about Little Black and Lai Mi, the diligent animals protecting his catch.

Lai Mi spent most of the time running around, from the house to the yard, leaving no place without its footprint.

Yet it also fiercely stared at the rabbits Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng had caught.

Zhang Huai Shu, carrying rabbits and a small muntjac, came rushing out, his face flushed with joy.

”You silly boy, carrying Shuangshuang, you won’t want anything else, planning to give everything to this old man of mine?”

Lu Yuanfeng smiled, holding Shuangshuang even tighter.

”If Grandpa Zhang likes them, feel free to take them.” Lu Yuanfeng said generously.

”Oh, I just like your generosity. I’ll just take this muntjac with the broken leg.”

Zhang Huai Shu wasn’t taking it to eat, but to keep as the missus had been unable to stop smiling at Shuangshuang’s dog and Black Mink, proving her fondness for such little creatures.

The Black Mink and dog were hard to handle, but that short-legged deer probably wouldn’t sell for much, and keeping it would entertain his own lady.

”Okay! You can have it.”

Carrying several rabbits, Lu Yuanfeng started heading in the direction of Shuangshuang’s house.

Once home, Lu Yuanfeng was about to take Mu Shuangshuang to her room but was stopped by her.

”Fengzi, take me to the kitchen; I need to prepare lunch.”

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Lu Yuanfeng, but this time Yu Liulang and Feng Xiaohua were also there, and it wouldn’t do to neglect the guests.

Feng Xiaohua watched as Lu Yuanfeng carried Shuangshuang back and immediately spoke up after hearing Shuangshuang needing to cook. ”Shuangshuang, I’ll cook lunch. You’re sick, so rest well!”
