Without even raising his head, Huo Yan opened his purse and fiddled with it with his fingers.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer, "Eight taels? Do you think I don't know how to count?"

"roll!"

The drunk burped, puzzled.

He was the owner of a rice shop and handled a lot of money, so how could he make a mistake?

His gaze fell on Huo Yan's face. Could it be that he wanted to keep it all for himself?

When their eyes met, Huo Yan caught the questioning look in his eyes.

Just at this moment, Niu Mang came out of a bun shop with a few fragrant meat buns wrapped in oil paper in his hands.

He also caught sight of Huo Yan over there.

There was no way, his elder brother was so tall and mighty that it was hard not to see him.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"Brother, why haven't you gone home yet?"

Huo Yan raised his chin and said, "Here, take him back! Interrogate him thoroughly."

"What are you interrogating?" Niu Mang opened his mouth. Oh my god, he was already on duty, how come he was caught by the big brother again?

If I had known this, I would have slipped away just now.

The drunk was also confused, "Sir, what did I do wrong?"

"It is really hateful to take someone else's things as your own. Go to jail to sober up first. I will release you after we find out if you have committed other crimes."

Niu Mang blinked. What kind of crime was this? Why had he never heard of it?

How did this guy offend the big brother?

And what’s going on with Su Ruanruan? Why is she here too?

Huo Yan didn't even give him a chance to think and took the oil paper bag from his hand.

He said coldly, "Go!"

Niu Mang's hands were empty and he curled his lips.

"Oh." He carried the drunk man away like a chicken.

All that remained was a series of echoes of cries for injustice.

Su Ruanruan lowered her eyes and stared at her toes.

I really don't understand what this bastard is doing.

Wouldn't he lock her up too?

And then take the money in the purse for yourself?

If he didn't ask for bribes or go along with the corrupt officials, how could he be so rich?

"Hey, I'm asking you!"

Su Ruanruan suddenly raised her head, "Wha...what?"

Huo Yan looked at her with a sullen look in his eyes, then stepped into a shop and sat down.

Seeing Su Ruanruan standing there in a daze, looking at him with confused eyes.

"Su Ruanruan, come here!"

Su Ruanruan didn't move. She didn't want to be alone with him at all, fearing that he would do something lustful and stupid the next second.

Huo Yan threw his purse on the table and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

Su Ruanruan suddenly had an idea and realized that he must have seen the purse falling to the ground.

He knew it was her purse.

If it's her own thing, she can just give it up.

However, she must take Mu Bai's things back.

Su Ruanruan walked over in two or three steps and sat down opposite him.

Straight to the point, "You know this purse is mine, please give it back to me."

Huo Yan opened the oil paper bag in his hand and handed Su Ruanruan a white, soft and fragrant bun.

Su Ruanruan took a look and then looked away.

Didn't reach out to take it.

Huo Yan glanced at Su Ruanruan, then folded his hand back in the air and fed the bun into his mouth.

Su Ruanruan sniffed. It smelled so good.

She... suddenly felt hungry.

Huo Yan noticed Su Ruanruan swallowing her saliva and raised his eyebrows.

He pushed the oil paper bag towards her.

Su Runrun's stomach growled at an inopportune moment, and she was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to scrape out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment.

What a shame!

"It's not poisonous." Huo Yan said.

Su Ruanruan thought about it and reached out to take a bun.

"Thank you!"

She lowered her head and ate in small bites.

Huo Yan looked calmly at Su Ruanruan who was eating quietly opposite him.

He then realized that although she was not very good-looking, she had thick and curly eyelashes and a small nose.

Her lips were red, stained with gravy, and glossy and clear.

Coincidentally, Su Ruanruan stuck out a small pink tongue and licked the corner of her lips.

This scene……

So damn cute!

I couldn't help but think of the scene of kissing her lips today...

hum~

Huo Yan suddenly came back to his senses. What the hell, he actually thought she was cute?

He stared at Su Ruanruan for several more times. She was so dark and ugly.

Still so annoying.

It happened that Su Ruanruan was wiping her mouth after eating a bun. When she looked up, she saw Huo Yan's eyes that were filled with disgust.

Su Ruanruan: ...

Isn't it just eating a bun of yours? Is that a big deal?

"Is this purse Mu Bai's?"

Su Ruanruan nodded frankly.

"So, can you give it back to me?"

Huo Yan threw the purse into her arms and sneered, "He is willing to give you all his family fortune."

Su Ruanruan ignored him, opened her purse, and was relieved to see that the heart-shaped stone was still there.

After getting what she wanted, Su Ruanruan didn't want to stay any longer.

Stand up and prepare to leave.

However, Huo Yan spoke coldly behind him.

"When will you pay me back the money you owe me? Just because I don't urge you doesn't mean you can just ignore it..."

Su Ruanruan sighed, finally unable to hide, and took out six taels of silver from her purse and placed it on the table.

Afraid that he would think it was too little, he put the silver down and quickly left.

Huo Yan shook his head, sighing a bit.

This scholar was so stupid. He knew Su Runrun was playing with his feelings, but he still gave her all the money he had saved.

He had seen him write letters for the poor for free, and he had also seen him give the copper coins he had just earned to beggars on the street.

A scholar like him who cares about the poor will surely become a popular official in the future after passing the imperial examination.

But he was stuck on the word "love".

The next day, Su Ruanruan went to the tofu shop early in the morning.

Everyone is busy, and she is no exception.

However, unlike others who were busy, she stayed in the house learning embroidery.

The flowers don’t look like flowers, and the birds don’t look like birds.

Su Ruanruan was quickly defeated.

Thinking about embroidering something else.

But I was always thinking about other things, and I didn’t know how Su He was doing.

Knowing what she went through, I felt quite pitiful.

Su Ruanruan stood in the yard and gave Ziwu a few more instructions.

When I looked up, I noticed that there were still some unpicked fruits on the several fruit trees in the yard, some red and some yellow.

She quickly asked someone to set up a ladder and picked some big red peaches and golden plums herself.

When Su Ruanruan found Su He's house, she had not returned yet.

A grandmother from the same courtyard saw Su Ruanruan and said enthusiastically, "There was smoke coming out of her house before dawn. I saw her carrying a load out of her basket early in the morning. I guess she is back to her old job, selling steamed buns again."

"Oh, thank you. I'll wait a moment."

Su Ruanruan sat on the stone outside the yard for half an hour, and some people with bad intentions appeared beside her.

But she was dressed simply and had only a basket filled with peaches and plums in her hands. These fruits were not uncommon and many families had them, so there was nothing to grab.

There is an apricot tree in Su He's home, and the tree is now full of fruits.

That's why she personally picked out some fruits that were not available at Su He's house and brought them to her so that she could try them.
