Chapter 41 Chapter 41 My dear, you are just a gossiphead...

Chen Muyun did not sleep soundly. Lu Huainan's suspicion had been there for a long time. What should he do if something was really found out? He tossed and turned in bed, half asleep and half awake. The sound of rain outside could have helped him sleep, but this time it was noisy and made him feel irritated.

The sky outside was gloomy, and raindrops blew into the room through the bay window, causing Shen Muyun to shiver. Unable to bear it, he stood up, limped to the window, and closed the bay window with force.

Back in bed, Ben Nanfeng wanted to sleep for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep at all. He couldn't even reach that half-asleep and half-awake state. He simply took out his mobile phone to read the latest news.

The heavy rain in Baitou Village became a hot topic. After the media hyped it up, they said that it was the protection of the gods and that Baitou Village had been safe and sound for generations. Chen Muyun shook his head speechlessly. Are the media nowadays so heartless? That's right, big burials with conscience make big money, small burials with conscience make small money. No wonder he couldn't make money before.

Reading further, I came across an interesting academic report paper, the double-slit interference experiment. Tsk, does this world also study such abstract things? Then I thought about the Pan Bowen incident I saw on Tianya Forum many years ago. Forget it, there is no point in thinking so much.

Chen Muyun originally thought that listening to some sleep-inducing music would make him feel better, so he put on his Bluetooth headphones, but the song "Pulling Silk Play" kept playing on repeat, making him feel inexplicably sad.

Looking at the rain outside the window, I was in a dilemma. If it were a sunny day, I could go out for a walk.

While he was in a daze, a message came on WeChat. It was from Shen Liuyun, and it seemed that he hadn't seen him for a few days.

"Muyun, I heard that you and Huainan were in danger in Baitou Village. When I arrived, the villagers said you had already left. I will go to your place this afternoon to check on you."

Shen Muyun threw the phone aside directly, pretending to be affectionate.

Chen Muyun closed his eyes, but what happened in Baitou Village came to his mind. He felt that there was some inexplicable connection between the sign at the entrance of the village and the well in the village. No, he really couldn't sleep this time.

Shen Muyun got up directly, washed up, sat at the desk, and searched directly for the past events of Baitou Village.

What's strange is that the records of the investigation into the past of Baitou Village are all from 2024. This is strange. This village has a history of at least hundreds of years. Could it be that because of his travel through the book, the timeline has changed?

He continued to search for relevant information about Baitou Village and found some clues in numerous documents.

The name of Baitou Village can be traced back to 400 years ago. Shen Muyun was stunned. Wasn’t that when the well that the elder mentioned appeared? It turned out that it happened when the village just came into existence.

Shen Muyun continued to search further. As for the tree, there was not a single piece of literature to support it. Forget it. What good would it do to search?

“Ding ding ding…”

There was a knock on the door, and Shen Muyun immediately turned off the computer and lay down on the bed.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Brother Yun."

Lu Huainan, what are you doing here so early?

Shen Muyun lifted the quilt, rubbed his hair vigorously, pretended to have just woken up, stood up, opened the door, and yawned sleepily.

Lu Huainan leaned against the wall next to him. Seeing Chen Muyun open the door, he scratched his head and said, "Brother Yun, good morning. I'll be going to the company in a moment. I was thinking about your breakfast, so..."

Lu Huainan clapped his hands and saw a waiter pushing a cart around the corner.

"I thought your feet weren't very convenient, and since it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, it's better to rest it. So I asked the chef to stew some pig's trotters. I tried it, and it's not greasy, and they skimmed out all the fat. Brother Yun, you can try it. Yesterday, I saw that you liked lemon plum soup, so I made some more at room temperature. Brother Yun, if you want anything to eat, just tell the housekeeper here. I've already given instructions, and Luo Zhi might be here soon."

Shen Muyun saw the pile of breakfast, it was really "abundant". Could he really finish it?

"Well, Huainan, there's no need to be so troublesome. The guest should follow the host's wishes."

Lu Huainan waved to the waiter, who immediately disappeared into the corridor.

Lu Huainan personally pushed the cart and followed Shen Muyun into the room.

"I want Brother Yun to get better soon. My birthday is coming soon."

"Huainan, is there anything you like?"

Lu Huainan's eyes immediately sparkled, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"What I like is jewelry, Brother Yun. That sapphire is the most beautiful I have ever seen. Unfortunately, my family said it might be cursed, so I gave it away. Fortunately, it is in your hands now, and I can still see it."

Shen Muyun nodded. It was outrageous, really outrageous. Fortunately, he didn't know whether that thing would bring him any bad luck. No, this was bad luck now.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, I like old things. I bought the vase at home during the spring auction. It's the one by the door. It's a fine piece from the Ge Kiln, and it even has ice crackle patterns. Brother Yun, do you think it looks good? It's not expensive, only 5 million yuan. It's from the Song Dynasty. I guess I found a bargain."

Chen Muyun frowned and pressed his solar plexus with one hand. This guy is really a spendthrift. He easily spent millions like that.

"Yeah, I understand."

"Brother Yun, this pig's trotter soup must be drunk while it's hot."

Lu Huainan opened the soup bowl and filled a bowl for him. The aroma of broth filled his face.

"Brother Yun, if you feel greasy, here are some dried apricots, which are very good for relieving greasiness. What you eat is what you replenish. I asked Doctor Qi, and he said this is the best way to restore your body. It is better than those medicinal herbs. Chinese medicine hurts the liver and kidneys, so food is the best way to replenish your body."

Shen Muyun took the bowl from Lu Huainan and scooped a spoonful. The tender pork melted away the moment the spoon touched it, blending into the soup and melting in his mouth. It really took a lot of effort.

"It tastes great, rich but not greasy. I like it. Huainan, have you tried it?"

Lu Huainan shook his head. "I'm busy watching the chef stewing soup. Besides, it's getting late. I have to go straight to the company. Don't worry, I have food, and there's a snack room over there."

Shen Muyun was inexplicably moved, as if after coming to this world, the person who took the best care of him had always been Lu Huainan. Did they really just meet? The system could not provide any specific information, and the original owner's memory was a little incomplete.

"Brother Yun, Brother Yun, the company is urging me to leave. Remember to eat well at noon. As for the dining cart, just send a message to the butler and ask him to come and clean it up. I'll give you his contact information."

Lu Huainan left in a hurry.

Shen Muyun saw the steaming pig's trotter soup and pumpkin soup on the side. The sweet taste filled his mouth and the air.

Shen Muyun felt full after eating a short while, looked at the message on his phone, and added the housekeeper's contact information.

Lu Huainan: Brother Yun, I’m at the company. Look, this is what I ate.

A photo was sent along with a cat head.

Tsk, isn’t Lu Huainan the CEO? Why is he so childish?

Chen Muyun took out his phone and replied: Huainan, don’t always stare at the computer when you are working. Work for a while and then take a break, okay?

Lu Huainan: Yes, sir!

“Ding ding ding…”

There was a knock on the door. Shen Muyun originally thought it was the housekeeper here, "Um, please come in."

A clear female voice rang out in my ears, "Brother Muyun, wow, there are so many foods, it seems my brother really put a lot of effort into it."

Shen Muyun was stunned for a moment. It was Lu Huainan's sister. That's right, Lu Huainan had just said that his sister would be here soon.

"It's Luo Zhi, why are you here so early?"

Shen Muyun wanted to get up, but was directly pressed by Luo Zhi, "Brother Muyun, you don't need to get up, I just came to see you, it was my brother who told me to see if you had eaten well, it seems that you did, then I feel relieved, hey, no, it's my brother who is relieved."

Shen Muyun coughed lightly. What was going on? Did Lu Huainan have a little tail who would report to him at any time? Interesting. The direction of the development of the matter was becoming more and more interesting.

"You, didn't go to the company?"

Lu Luozhi casually picked up a bayberry and put it in his mouth. "Ah, no, it seems we haven't had much contact. I'm studying for a doctorate in literature at Jiangcheng University. I have to meet my supervisor this afternoon. Who knows which paper I'm studying might not be up to standard, and I might have to rewrite it. Ah, my brother said you're studying theoretical physics. Is that true?"

Shen Muyun frowned slightly. This was not right. The Shen Muyun in this world was uneducated and even bought his diploma. How could he...

"Brother Muyun, can you tell me how you published your core journal? It's said that engineering papers are easier to publish than liberal arts papers. Is that true? Can I be the second author on your paper? I used to study science, so if you need any help, I'm happy to help you."

Shen Muyun suddenly laughed helplessly. Theoretical physics, this name seemed like a lifetime ago, as if he hadn't come across it for a long time.

"Well, Luo Zhi, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I graduated a long time ago, but I can still give you some writing ideas. If you need them, I can organize them and send them to you in a few days. How about that?"

Lu Luozhi blinked his eyes, approached Shen Muyun, and looked at him seriously, "Brother Muyun, how far have you and my brother progressed? Has he confessed to you? And, has he given you flowers? My brother is a blockhead and doesn't understand anything. He only looks at his company every day. Recently, it's all about travel, jewelry, and the like. He says he wants to transform and he's been busy lately."

"Hiss, why is Luo Zhi still such a gossiphead? But I'm sorry to disappoint you. Your brother and I don't have any relationship at the moment. We are just partners, or we can say we are just good friends."

Lu Luozhi's eyes, which had been shining brightly, instantly lost their color. "So that's how it is. My brother has never brought anyone back, Brother Muyun. But I'm rooting for you! Come on, my brother's iron tree, maybe it will finally bloom."
