The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: They’re Going to Sleep in Separate Rooms?

Fu Cheng glanced at Shen Lu, who was sleeping on her side with her back to him, and felt a pang of frustration.

’Are we going to sleep like this again today?’

’It’s not good to always sleep on one side. Her face might become asymmetrical.’

Fu Cheng moved his left hand and gave Shen Lu a gentle tug. Perhaps because her sleeping position was already unstable, half of her body rolled with the force and leaned against him.

The corners of Fu Cheng’s lips curved into a satisfied smile. ’I was just worried she wouldn’t sleep well on her side, that’s all. Her leaning on me is a trivial matter.’

With that, the man finally drifted off to sleep, his mind at ease.

...

At six in the morning, right on the dot, Shen Lu’s eyes snapped open.

’A new day is here. Another day to make some serious money!’

Wriggling like a caterpillar, Shen Lu suddenly stretched. Then her eyes flew wide. ’Am I... pressing down on Fu Cheng with half my body???’

’Did I aggravate his wound?!’

Terrified, Shen Lu bolted upright and immediately checked Fu Cheng’s condition.

’Thank goodness, thank goodness. The gauze hasn’t turned red, so it’s not a huge problem.’

Shen Lu clasped her hands together. "Sorry, sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. I’ll be extra careful when we sleep tonight. Just bear with it for two more days. We’ll move as soon as the new place is ready. Then we can each have our own room, and I won’t bother your rest anymore."

’Separate rooms?’

Fu Cheng opened his eyes, staring at Shen Lu in disbelief.

’They were going to sleep in separate rooms from now on?’

Fu Cheng clenched his jaw, suppressing the surge of displeasure.

’Technically, their engagement had been called off a long time ago. Shen Lu was just kind enough to take him in, and she hadn’t bothered to deny their old relationship to anyone.’

’Plus, with their limited living space, the two of them had no choice but to squeeze onto one small bed.’

’Once they had the means for separate rooms, it was only natural that they would sleep separately.’

’The logic was sound, but why did he feel so unhappy about it?’

Shen Lu didn’t pay much mind to Fu Cheng’s reaction; she had to start her busy routine.

After quickly washing up and eating, and after feeding Fu Cheng, Shen Lu grabbed her tools and set off for the landfill with Cai Su.

"Boss Shen, Xiao Lang was able to open his eyes today!" Cai Su couldn’t help but share the good news about her son. "I think if he keeps getting shots from Doctor Xiao for a while longer, he might slowly get better!"

"That’s really great news. When you take him there later, ask Doctor Xiao what he thinks." Shen Lu smiled. "It would be wonderful if he could recover just like that."

Cai Su nodded earnestly. "Mhm, that’s what I was thinking too."

Her spirits high, Cai Su was especially motivated today. Shen Lu had the distinct impression that she was going to pick through the entirety of No. 3 Landfill.

The detector beeped, indicating something good under a scrap metal sculpture. The sculpture was massive, roughly estimated to weigh three tons.

Shen Lu felt it was a great pity. Unless a Superpower User or someone wearing a powered exoskeleton showed up, it was impossible to move.

Cai Su rolled up her sleeves. "Boss Shen, let me try!"

Shen Lu quickly stopped her. "Don’t. You definitely can’t move it. Let’s not force it. It wouldn’t be worth it if you got hurt."

Cai Su struggled for a moment, saying she didn’t need to lift the whole thing, just pry up one side to get the stuff underneath.

Shen Lu was exasperated. ’Forget whether we could even pry up one side, I don’t have the guts to reach underneath. What if Cai Su loses her grip and the sculpture comes crashing down? Would I still have a hand left?’

At Shen Lu’s insistence, Cai Su had no choice but to give up.

When it was about time, the two returned to the rented apartment to prepare things for the food stall.
