Chapter 71

After listening to a few upbeat songs and indulging in so many rare and delightful sweets, both her spirit and taste buds were immensely satisfied. No matter how bad her mood was, it had improved.

She finished the last bite of chocolate.

Summer spoke contentedly, "I feel like I've lived today as if there's no tomorrow."

Even at home, she had never eaten so many delicious things at once.

Nowadays, even basic grains were hard to come by, let alone these expensive cookies and chocolates.

Normally, such things should be saved and eaten sparingly, occasionally bringing them out for a treat.

Doing what she did tonight, eating them like a meal, was something she couldn't even dream of.

Because she indulged too much and was overly satisfied, by the end, it felt almost unreal, like a dream.

Logan, sitting beside her, packing away his harmonica, said, "If you lived today like there's no tomorrow, all this food would have been wasted on you."

Summer turned to look at Logan.

Hearing him say that, she felt a sense of reality again.

Logan didn't eat sweets, which is why she got such a lucky break.

But taking advantage of Logan was not easy, especially such a big advantage.

Still, for Summer, it was a good thing. The satisfaction of her taste buds was one thing; on the other hand, it allowed her to get closer to Logan.

So Summer looked at Logan and said, "Don't worry, I won't eat all your good stuff for nothing. It's definitely more valuable than feeding it to the pigs or dogs in the village. From now on, whatever you need me to do, just say the word, and I'll go through fire and water for you!"

Logan looked at her, "Through fire and water? Are you sure?"

Initially, she was sure, but with his question, Summer hesitated.

She blinked, thought for a moment, then smiled and added, "As long as it's within my ability, doesn't go against my conscience, and isn't illegal."

Logan didn't nitpick her words further and just said, "Then be my cook for now."

Summer nodded decisively, "Okay, from now on, I'll cook all your meals, but..."

She looked at Logan and smiled, "You'll have to provide the ingredients and seasonings..."

At the moment, she could only contribute her effort and skills; she couldn't afford the vegetables and condiments.

Logan didn't expect her to provide those either.

He stood up and said, "Alright, it's a deal. Let's go back and get some sleep."

Summer had already shaken off her bad mood.

Feeling better, she was also getting sleepy. She stood up and followed Logan back to the community center.

After walking a few steps away from the pond, Summer suddenly remembered she hadn't fed her chickens.

So she quickened her pace and told Logan, "I've eaten my fill and had a good time, but my chickens haven't eaten yet. It's so late; I need to feed them quickly."

Logan replied leisurely, "They were already fed by the time you remembered, or they'd have starved."

Hearing this, Summer slowed down and looked back at Logan, asking, "You fed them?"

Logan said, "My chickens didn't finish their food, so your chickens got lucky. You owe me a meal tomorrow."

Summer nodded, "Alright, I'll cook you breakfast tomorrow."

They returned to the community center under the night sky. It was already very late.

Henry and the others had finished washing up and were ready for bed. Summer and Logan didn't do anything else either. They washed up quickly and went to bed.

Lying in bed, the room was pitch dark.
