As soon as Su Ruanruan came out of the ear room, she heard the sound of the courtyard door being opened. When she returned to the courtyard, she saw Zi Wu following Mu Bai.

Why is she here?

"Ruanruan..." Mu Bai's heart started pounding when he saw Su Ruanruan coming out from the ear room.

Does Ruanruan know what he looks like...?

His face turned redder, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. It was... so embarrassing.

Su Ruanruan looked at Mu Bai with dissatisfaction in her eyes, while Mu Bai looked a little ashamed and did not dare to look at Su Ruanruan.

Zi Wu looked at her nose and her heart, and interrupted at the right time, "Mr. Mu, don't you have something to do? Go quickly, I'll leave this to you."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, shopkeeper." Mu Bai looked at Su Ruanruan again and said softly, "Ruanruan, I have to go out for something. Um...apply the medicine, I'll trouble you to do it for me, shopkeeper."

He didn't even dare to look Su Runrun in the eye. He thanked Ziwu again and walked away as if escaping.

Su Ruanruan, "..."

She didn't know what to say. After being with her for such a long time, Mu Bai was still so observant of the rules. It was really torturous for her to be able to only look at the flesh of Tang Monk and not be able to eat it.

They have already been like this and that, why does Mu Bai always act like a shy little wife when he sees her?

Su Ruanruan sat on the stone bench, holding her chin, and asked absentmindedly, "Why are you here?"

"Well, this is just a coincidence. If I hadn't been quick to call Master Mu, the girl with the veil who came to apply medicine for you today would be the Su He you mentioned last time."

Su Runrun frowned and looked at her, looking puzzled.

"I just came out of the restaurant and saw Master Mu walking around the street as if he was looking for someone. Then I saw Miss Su He walking towards Master Mu in the crowd."

"I could only clear my throat and call him first. But Su He was quite tactful. When she heard someone calling Master Mu, she turned around and left."

"Later I learned that Master Mu wanted to find someone to apply medicine for you. But I'm not sure who he was looking for. Could it be such a coincidence that it was Su He?"

Su Ruanruan's eyes fell on the plate of preserved fruits on the stone table.

His eyes were deep, but he didn't continue to explore.

Zi Wu just mentioned it and didn't mention Su He again. She took out the IOU that Mu Bai had written to her today.

"This is the IOU that Master Mu wrote to me today. He is really good to you and didn't let me tell you about this. Even the fact that this yard was sold to buy ginseng is only known to a few people."

The corners of Su Ruanruan's lips curled up slightly.

“So, he is really kind.”

Thinking of what happened to him in the academy, Su Ruanruan hid the sharpness in her eyes again, "But being too kind is not a good thing. It's easy to be bullied."

"Find a smart, unfamiliar guy to help me do something these days."

Zi Wu asked, "I wonder what the master is going to do?"

Su Ruanruan tapped her fingers rhythmically on the stone table.

Her red lips parted slightly, "I want to know all the movements of Zeng Yuan from Tianhong Academy."

Zi Wu agreed, changed the medicine on Su Ruanruan's shoulder, and wrapped her with gauze again.

As for the bruises on other parts of her body, Su Ruanruan didn't let her apply medicine.

Mu Bai came back at 3 p.m.

He took a quick look and saw Su lying softly on the bed with her back to her, motionless. She must have fallen asleep.

He picked up the clothes she had changed from the side and quietly retreated.

Sitting in the courtyard, she gently washed the silk dress that Lord Bai had lent to Ruanruan to wear, and she would return it after it was dried.

When he put the dress on the rack, Su Ruanruan had not woken up yet.

He went to the kitchen to make chicken soup and boil medicine for Ruanruan.

The hen was prepared by someone else, which was very convenient. He also went to the pharmacy to buy some herbs that can replenish blood and qi and help heal wounds, and will simmer them with the chicken soup later.

He didn't have much money on him to begin with, but now he was short of money, so he had no choice but to agree to paint for someone else, and the man gave him a deposit first.

In the past, he would never have taken this kind of job. After deducting the cost, he wouldn't get much, and it was time-consuming and laborious.

But now, as long as there is a way to make money, he wants to try it.

The chicken soup was ready and the medicine was boiled, but Ruanruan still didn't come out of the house.

He divided half of the chicken soup into a lunch box and hurried to the academy.

Bai Ruan had asked Fang Ru to take care of her, and he was injured because of helping him. Even if Fang Ru told him to take care of Bai Ruan and not to worry about him, how could he really ignore her?

When Mu Bai rushed back from the academy, he found that Ruanruan was still motionless. Then he felt something was wrong.

He tiptoed to the soft bedside, reached out his hand to touch her forehead, and found that she was not hot.

Just as I took my hand back, Su Ruanruan's muffled voice came from under the quilt, "Go away, I won't talk to you anymore."

Mu Bai stood beside the bed, wanting to coax her, but didn't know how to start.

Ruanruan must be angry with him about changing the dressing at noon. He looked at his hands, and his fingertips began to feel hot when he thought of the throbbing.

He almost made a mistake on the bed last time, and he couldn't do that again this time.

Ruanruan wanted to tease him, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he had to ask others for help.

"Ruanruan, I made some chicken soup. Get up and drink some. Fill your stomach before taking the medicine, okay? Even if you are angry with me, you can't ignore your own health."

"I do not want."

Mu Bai, "..."

He didn't expect that Ruanruan would refuse so decisively.

He tried to persuade her for a long time, but Su Ruanruan refused him.

Mu Bai sat weakly on the edge of the bed, his body slightly hunched, his dark eyes full of fatigue.

The atmosphere in the room was a little subtle, too quiet.

Su Ruanruan didn't wait for Mu Bai's next answer and turned around quietly, only to see Mu Bai sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to her.

The back figure looked a little lonely, and she felt a little distressed.

She gently tugged at Mu Bai's sleeve, aggrieved, "Brother Mu Bai, do you dislike me?"

Mu Bai turned around, stared at Su Ruanruan for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

"Ruanruan, you are different from the Ruanruan I first knew."

Su Ruanruan's hands froze and she looked up in surprise. Did he see through it?

She blinked her curly eyelashes. She hadn't thought about confessing her origins so soon.

"People always change. So does Brother Mu Bai like me when we first met or me now?"

Mu Bai held her hand with a gentle look in his eyes.

"You asked me this before, have you forgotten? I like you right now, so lively and smart."

After a pause, he continued, "There is still a bit of willfulness..."

"Then do you think I'm annoying?" Su Ruanruan hugged Mu Bai's neck.

"No, never." Mu Bai tucked the broken hair at Su Ruanruan's temples behind her ears, "Ruanruan, please forgive me. You are angry, and I don't know how to comfort you."

"Brother Mu Bai, stop hiding. Can you change the medicine for me later?" Su Ruanruan held Mu Bai's face and pressed her lips against his.

Mu Bai's ears turned redder, and he didn't respond directly, "I... I'll go heat up the soup."
