Su Ruanruan was getting bored waiting and was looking up at the blue sky and white clouds.

"Miss Su?"

Su Ruanruan heard the voice, looked carefully, and found that Su He had come over.

The burden on his shoulders was empty, but he still held the veil in his hands.

Su Ruanruan went into the house with her and handed her the basket.

"I think these peaches and plums are good, so I picked some. Please don't despise them."

Su He took it, looked at the fruit with green leaves, thought of something, and put it aside.

"I'm so happy that you remember me, how can I dislike you?"

Su Ruanruan looked at her several times again, and always felt that she was a little different today, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Su He shook his head. "For a while, I won't be able to forget what happened, but I will overcome it."

Su He lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

I was awakened by the nightmare again in the first half of the night and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

She wanted to close her eyes and think about her mother when she was still alive, just like before, and capture those beautiful scenes of them talking and laughing.

However, another person's face flashed in my mind.

He held Xing'er in his arms, his eyes like a clear lake, and walked towards her with a smile...

In the end, there was only room for her in his eyes...

"Are you... okay?" Su Ruanruan saw that Su He was a little absent-minded.

"I am fine."

The moment she looked up, Su Ruanruan finally realized what was different about her.

Her eyes were dull yesterday, but bright today.

There was light in her eyes.

Although I don't know what happened to her, this is a good thing! However, Su Ruanruan thought about it and decided to do a favor.

"Have you ever thought about leaving here and going to your relatives? Leave this sad place, start a new life somewhere else, and make new friends..."

"If you are short of money, I can introduce you to the place where I work to do odd jobs."

Su He refused without thinking.

"Thank you for your kindness. I don't want to leave here."

Su Ruanruan looked at her, "Can you tell me the reason?"

Su He pursed her lips and shook her head after a long while, "I don't know either, but I don't want to leave here."

Of course Su Ruanruan did not ask any more questions, but she caught a glimpse of the empty shoulder pole and veil beside her.

"Where do you sell steamed buns? Why are you wearing a veil?"

Su He's eyes also fell on the empty burden.

Yesterday, while she was waiting for the young man to leave the family in Si Nong Lane, she asked the mother-in-law about the young man's situation.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law had lived alone for a long time and was very bored, so she pulled the young man aside to talk about family matters.

She also successfully found out from her mother-in-law that the young man was called Mu Bai, was a student of Tianhong Academy, and was a scholar!

It’s a pity that he already has a lover.

I wonder which young lady can be worthy of such a gentle and elegant man.

However, even so, her cold heart still couldn't control its restlessness.

She had steamed buns early today, and fearing that others would recognize her as the girl who had lost her virginity to a thief, she prepared a veil.

I waited outside Tianhong Academy for a long time, but he didn't come out.

She had already given up hope and was ready to leave, but she saw him in a hurry. He left the academy and went to a small shop on the other side of Fengshui Bridge to pick up some things. He actually set up a stall to write letters for others at the bridge head.

So she created an encounter and started selling steamed buns next to her.

Seeing that she was absent-minded today, Su Ruanruan comforted her before leaving.

As soon as he opened the door and entered the yard, Bairuan woke up. He stretched himself and ran towards Su Ruanruan, his little tail wagging so hard that he seemed to be flying.

Su Ruanruan crushed the steamed buns she had just bought into small pieces and put them in the goat milk soup she had bought from the vendor early in the morning.

"You must be hungry. Eat, eat."

Bairuan was not polite at all. She moved her little tongue very quickly and in a short while, she had eaten up all the rice in the bowl and even licked the edge of the bowl clean.

As if it was not full, it supported itself with its two hind paws, squatted on the ground with its little butt, and looked at Su Ruanruan with its big watery eyes.

So pitiful and cute, and looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Su Ruanruan couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and took it in her arms, stroking its round belly.

"You are such a greedy little cat. You are not allowed to eat anymore today."

(? ??_??)?Bairuan: I protest!

The night is as cool as water and as dark as ink

Su Runrun lit the oil lamp, and Bai Runrun had already crawled into bed and was sleeping soundly.

She sat on a stool and learned to embroider, but Xiu'er had clearly taught her needlework skills, but she just couldn't learn it.

I have never felt so depressed as I do now. An embroidery needle is much more difficult to use than a silver needle.

"Ugh."

Su Ruanruan put down the embroidery frame in her hand, but she saw the heart-shaped stone on the table out of the corner of her eye.

An idea flashed through my mind, and I was injected with new energy.

She picked up the embroidery needle again and started working.

The next day, Su Runruan was sleeping soundly while holding Bai Runruan in her arms, but she heard a knock on the door.

Who could be looking for her so early?

Su Runrun reluctantly got up, put on her clothes, and then went to open the door.

A strange lady was standing outside the door, holding a bundle in her hand.

"Can I help you?"

The lady looked Su Ruanruan up and down for several times, then smiled and said, "You are Su Ruanruan, Miss Su, right?"

Su Ruannuan nodded dully, "It's me, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"I'm a maid working in Tianhong Academy. Master Mu Bai asked me to bring something to you."

As she spoke, she handed the package in her hand to Su Ruanruan.

Su Ruanruan was a little surprised and a little flattered.

What is it? Why bother her to deliver it? If he is not busy, he can come back to see her.

"I'm sorry to bother you with this trip. Please come in and have a drink of water!"

The old lady waved her hand and said, "No, no, I didn't come here specially. Mr. Mu knew I was passing by here and asked me for a favor. It's just a casual thing, not a big deal. I'll leave now."

Seeing that she was in a hurry to leave, Su Ruanruan did not force her.

"I want to ask you one more thing, is Mu Bai doing well in the academy?"

The old lady was stunned. Is it safe to fight with others?

But when he thought of Master Mu's instructions, he swallowed the words on his lips.

"Okay, he's fine."

"Master Mu is highly regarded by Master Yao, and he discusses things with him alone every day."

"You know Master Yao, he could have served in the Imperial Academy before he retired. He is very knowledgeable. It is a blessing for Master Mu to have his favor."

"Oh, I've been busy chatting with you. I have to go now."

The lady left in a hurry.

Su Ruanruan said, "Thank you, please go slower."

Back in the yard, Su Ruanruan put the package on the table.

He tapped his hands on the table. No wonder he didn't come back. It turned out that his teacher gave him special lessons.

She didn't know much about the academy, so she didn't know that Master Yao was such a prominent figure.

No wonder Yao Yutong behaves like a young lady. It turns out she is a real rich girl and has seen the world in Beijing.

Su Runrun's eyes fell on the package on the table. If what she had just weighed was correct, there should be fruit there.

When she opened the package, her eyes lit up.
