Su Ruanruan then remembered something she had missed yesterday.

"Brother Mu Bai, these dried peaches and apricots are so sweet. You asked an old lady to bring them back. I'll dry some more later. Did you buy them or pick them from the academy?"

Mu Bai wiped the medicine juice from the corners of Su Ruanruan's lips, and a smile appeared on his jade-like face. "Neither, it's a gift from a girl. If you like it, I'll go to the market to buy some sweet ones."

Su Ruanruan's expression remained unchanged, but she understood clearly in her heart that her guess was indeed correct.

"When did Brother Mu Bai get to know another girl? I wonder if I've seen her before?" Su Ruanruan glared at him.

"..." Is Ruanruan angry again? If I had known he would be so honest, I would have said he picked it from the woods behind the academy.

But he didn't want to lie to Ruanruan, it was indeed given by a girl.

"You probably don't know her. Her name is Su He. One time I helped her pick up fallen apricots on the road, and I don't know how she found me. She gave me some plums, apricots, and peaches as a reward."

"I couldn't refuse, so I accepted it. These fruits are very sweet, so I wanted you to have a taste. I gave some to my classmates, and asked someone to give the rest to you..."

Su Ruanruan pretended to be angry and turned around, "Is it others' peaches and apricots that are sweeter, or Su Hetian?"

“…” It’s over, it’s over. I can’t explain it clearly.

Mu Bai hurried to coax her, "Ruanruan, why are you angry again? You know I only have you in my heart."

"If you don't believe me, I swear to you."

Su Ruanruan suddenly smiled, "I don't want you to swear. If one day you fall in love with someone else and leave me, the oath will not count."

Mu Bai felt a bitter taste in his heart and held Su Ruanruan tightly in his arms, "Ruanruan, having you in my life is enough."

……

Mu Bai helped Su Ruanruan change the medicine and told her to have a good rest. He went to the academy with a small bag in his arms.

Su Ruanruan lay on the bed, recalling the past scenes.

No wonder she felt these fruits looked familiar. It turned out that the plums and peaches were indeed picked by her herself, and these apricots were probably from the tree in Su He's yard.

After many twists and turns, my true heart finally returned to my hands.

It's really ridiculous.

Su Ruanruan took a sip of tea and laughed at herself. She thought she had a good eye for people, but it seemed she had made a mistake this time.

She thought she could pull Su He out of the abyss, but she didn't expect that the salvation others wanted was not for her, but for her man.

Su He clearly knew that Mu Bai was her sweetheart...

Su Ruanruan sat in the yard for a long time before she wrapped up last night's drawing and went out.

On the road, it was inevitable that people would recognize me, and I could still hear the unpleasant sounds. I passed by a tea stall where a few hooligans were sitting, making noises one after another, and from time to time I could hear even more obscene words.

Su Ruanruan stopped and really wanted to leave slap marks on their faces.

But thinking about her own situation, she could only endure it.

She has no powerful background and is just a small ant at the bottom of the royal society.

She understands that I am the fish on the chopping board and others are the butchers.

Not to mention that she was not harmed by Butcher Zhou, even if something really happened, she couldn't jump into a well or hang herself like other women.

A woman's chastity is never hidden under her skirt, but she dared not say this here.

She could not change this royal society, nor could she change their deep-rooted cognition.

It's as if she would never say the words "equality for all".

This is the pyramid, and she is still struggling at the bottom of the food chain.

She couldn't go back, the only thing she could do was to integrate into the environment first and then change her life.

She came to her senses, ignored those hooligans, and continued walking forward.

She has more important things to do now.

There was still a discordant sound in her ears, and Su Ruanruan just took a few steps forward.

But he was startled by the sudden growl.

"Shut up, do you still want to go to jail?"

"And you guys, aren't you all bored? Do you want me to find something for you to do?"

Huo Yan's cold eyes swept over the people watching the excitement, and they fell silent instantly.

But it scared several little kids on the street and made them cry. Their parents were stunned for a moment, then quickly covered their children's mouths and hurried away.

Some people left when they saw that there was nothing exciting to see, while others lowered their heads and went back to work, and the streets were once again filled with the bustling sounds of hawking.

The thug in the teahouse lowered his head and left quietly, fearing that he would offend the big Buddha again and be thrown into jail again.

Huo Yan continued to drink tea while sitting at the table. He noticed someone was looking at him. He looked up and noticed that Su Ruanruan was looking at him with her head tilted.

Although she is thin and petite, she is different from other women.

Putting aside her chaotic life, she was indeed a different woman he had ever met.

If it were any other woman, she would have been dead after her reputation was damaged and would not have dared to show her face in public.

From what moment did his impression of her seem to change?

Huo Yan thought about it and it seemed that it was before she was captured by Butcher Zhou. He heard her chatting with the man with a broken leg in the teahouse.

"They shouldn't be afraid of you, they should respect you."

"Heroes should not be discouraged."

"We should not leave the wounded soldiers who are retreating without support and exposed to the wind and rain."

"If you want your country to be strong, you must have a strong military."

Her words kept lingering in his ears, and he was really curious about how Su Ruanruan, a country girl, could have such unique insights.

Also, what is the truth behind Butcher Zhou's death? What is his relationship with Su Ruanruan?

Su Runrun didn't have time to stare at him, and had already walked away by now.

Alas, I don’t know what happened to Butcher Zhou’s case.

I don’t know what Huo Yan is thinking. I wonder if he thinks she is still a suspect.

"elder sister……"

A figure suddenly jumped out in front of her, scaring Su Ruanruan. The person with red lips, white teeth and fair skin was Xiaoyu from Qingfeng Pavilion.

Su Ruanruan looked at him carefully again, wondering why she had never seen him before, but met him again and again in recent days.

Moreover, there seemed to be something familiar between his eyebrows, but she couldn't describe what the feeling was.

"Why are you looking at me like that, sister?"

Xiaoyu held a string of candied haws in her hand, smiling, "Sister, do you want to eat some?"

Su Ruanruan took a step back and said, "I don't want it, keep it for yourself!"

"Sister, do you dislike my...background?"

"..." Su Ruanruan frowned. Is Qingfeng Pavilion's business so bad now? Do they have to go out on the street to attract customers?

Su Ruanruan looked around and said, "Didn't you hear them scolding me? I'm not much better than you."

Xiaoyu looked at Su Ruanruan with some distress, "I heard about your sister's situation. Does it hurt? Is your injury better now?"

"Xiaoyu feels sorry for her sister..."

Although passers-by didn't know Xiaoyu's identity, Su Runruan didn't want to stand on the street and be pointed at by others, and they had already tacitly acknowledged her relationship with Mu Bai.

It would be a bit unreasonable to continue to be unclear with Xiaoyu at this moment. Su Ruanruan waved her hand, "I'm feeling better, thank you for your concern, you can go back soon."

Su Ruanruan turned and left, not looking at Xiaoyu's aggrieved expression.

Off topic: Do you think I abuse the heroine? I think it's not bad, better than those time-traveling heroines I saw before who were whipped with barbed whips and had their hearts bleed, right?

The heroine now has no space, no big vest, and is just a small vendor. It takes a process of going from weak to strong, so she will experience some unexpected things.

Can't you accept the non-double purity? (o﹏o?) I'm afraid that after writing this, someone will say that the heroine has no self-respect.

I read a book before, the heroine also traveled through time and space to an ancient village. When a thief broke into her house, she was unable to resist and was robbed by the bad guys in order to save her life. Later, she met a wealthy man who bullied men and women, and she submitted to him again.

Why do so many people say they understand, and no one says he abuses the heroine, and no one says the heroine doesn't love herself, but it's not the same for me, I don't think it's that abusive. (?﹏?)

I don’t want to write an article that follows the crowd, and I don’t want to write an article that you can guess the ending after seeing the beginning.

No matter what happens to the heroine, what decisions or actions she makes later, please don't blame me.

I don't have an outline, I wrote the story bit by bit, and I don't know what the sequel will be like.

I also read the book reviews. Su Ruanruan's current image is very ordinary. She has not yet revealed her true face. She is not a popular person. If it were in ancient times, a popular person without family background and no one to protect her would be miserable, and it would only be more miserable.

Qin Bei and the others like her because of their childhood sweetheart friendship, County Magistrate Bai likes her because he thinks of his deceased wife, and Mu Bai really likes her.

And that Butcher Zhou, he has the image of a bully. I don’t think he would be the elegant type, right?

I knew that someone would give a bad review after reading the chapter about visiting the boudoir at night, and it turned out to be a one-point bad review.

The heroine has no fighting ability, and she is not a dual-talented doctor and poisoner as some others say. She cannot defeat Zhou the Butcher who is much stronger than her.

It is true that he groped me, and it is disgusting. But this is the mentality of a bad guy. Only in TV dramas will the bad guy come in the middle of the night with impure thoughts and keep chatting with the heroine. Or keep burying his head in her neck and rubbing until the heroine is rescued. (Don't scold me, don't scold me.)

Orz the data is very bad, tomatoes don’t love me!

I may change platforms in the future, but I will continue to finish this story.

Because I really like the character of Mu Bai, he is more gentle than the late male lead Zhang Yizhi in the previous book.

Although he is a bad guy, he will always be the white moonlight in the heroine's heart and the cinnabar mole on her chest.
