After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

"Ruanruan, I'm really worried about you being alone."

Too many things have happened during this period of time. Thinking about how Ruanruan almost lost her life before, Mu Bai was terrified. How could he leave her alone?

Su Ruanruan just smiled, locked the gate, and took Mu Bai's hand, "Brother Mu Bai, I'll take you to a place."

"Where are we going?"

"You'll know when you get there." Su Ruanruan took him to the clothing store they were in last night.

She also picked out some new clothes for him. The lining was made of silk, which was crisp, fine, smooth to the touch, and very comfortable to wear against the skin.

The outer garment was made of satin, smooth and shiny. Although not as good as silk or satin, it was much better than the coarse cloth that Mu Bai was wearing.

She could have bought something more expensive, but she knew Mu Bai didn't like to show off with his appearance. This was just right, neither dignified nor ostentatious.

The bamboo green and tea white colors set off Mu Bai's handsome and upright figure, and the bright and clear scenery is like a poem or a painting.

Su Runrun regretted taking Mu Bai to choose clothes. He was so handsome and she was really afraid that he would catch the eyes of other noble ladies.

"Ruanruan, I still have clothes, there's no need to spend money like this. Besides, didn't I buy a set of clothes last night?" Mu Bai refused and pulled Su Ruanruan to go back.

Su Ruanruan blocked his way and pulled him to a small alley outside the store. "You will be on the road for several days when you go to Lingzhou this time, and you will have to stay there for several days. How can you have enough clothes to wear?"

"Those clothes are old now. They're fine to wear at home, but it's not decent to wear them outside, right?"

Seeing that Mu Bai was about to refute again, Su Ruanruan blocked his mouth with her hand, "Just think of it as doing it for me, okay? I hope you will always be the brightest star when you stand in front of everyone."

Su Ruan Ruan held Mu Bai's cheek and said, "I know you are afraid that I will spend money, but I am not. You are my man, Su Ruan Ruan, and you cannot embarrass me when you go out. I bought this dress for you today, and you can't refuse."

The words "You are my Su Ruanruan man" made Mu Bai feel very comfortable and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, just listen to me."

The two men returned to the clothing store, where the shopkeeper greeted them warmly again.

After getting the things and paying the silver, Su Ruanruan and Mu Bai returned home.

Mu Bai returned to the house, packed up the birthday picture he had drawn and the book he had recently copied, and went out.

Su Ruanruan took advantage of this time to go to the tofu shop and asked the waiter to look for the little beggar she met on Fengshui Bridge last night.

She went to the snack shop and bought some cakes and preserved fruits for the journey.

When passing by a clothing store, he paused for a moment, thought about it, and walked in...

When she returned, Mu Bai had already returned.

The clothes that were drying on the bamboo poles in the yard had disappeared, and were neatly put away by Mu Bai in the closet.

There were two more books and one more stack of rice paper in the room.

"When I'm not around, you have to practice calligraphy well. Don't be lazy." Mu Bai rubbed Su's head, "I'll check it when I come back."

Su Ruanruan handed a package to Mu Bai and said, "Give these clothes to Fang Ru when we are on the way."

Mu Bai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Ruanruan would actually buy Fang Ru a new set of clothes.

Seeing that he was a little jealous, Su Ruanruan quickly hooked her arms around his neck.

"I know Fang Ru has something against me, but as a friend and classmate, he is really good to you. I know that it is really hard for him to study with only two elderly people in his family, and I just want to show my appreciation."

Fang Ru's situation is similar to Mu Bai's. Mu Bai is an orphan, while Fang Ru's family only has two elderly people who farm the land to support his studies.

Although Su Ruanruan had only seen him a few times, she knew that he lived a frugal life, so she guessed that he would not prepare new clothes.

He took good care of Mu Bai in the academy and even protected Mu Bai when his left arm was injured by Zeng Yuan and his gang. This dress can be regarded as a way of repaying him for his kindness.

I also hope that he and Mu Bai will work hard and pass the imperial examinations together, and then become Jinshi.

"Brother Mu Bai, I will treat those who treat you well as well as I should."

Of course, there are some people whom she will not let go.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ruanruan had already stood on tiptoe and kissed Mu Bai's warm lips...

On the ground, there were only two shadows entangled together.

After a long time, Mu Bai finally let go of Su Ruanruan's lips and held her in his arms. "Ruanruan, I will definitely come back for your birthday. Wait for me."

"Okay, I'll wait for you, Brother Mu Bai. When the Autumn Examination is over, we'll get married!"

Mu Bai's heart was pounding, fearing that it was his own illusion. He stared at Su Ruanruan with burning eyes, "You...what did you say?"

"Brother Mu Bai, after the Autumn Examination is over, we can get married, okay?"

Words could no longer express the ecstasy in his heart. Mu Bai was dizzy from this sudden surprise. After a moment, he nodded hoarsely, "Okay."

"Ruanruan, be careful at home and wait for me to come back."

"Ok, I will wait for you."

city ​​gate

Mu Bai poked his head out of the rented carriage and looked at Su Ruanruan reluctantly.

Su Ruanruan's gaze followed that gaze farther and farther until the other party disappeared.

Su Ruanruan held Bai Ruan who was sent back by Fang Ruan in her arms, "You have gained weight again."

She looked at the figure outside the city gate who had long disappeared, and whispered, "Brother Mu Bai, I can't bear to leave you."

Su Ruanruan felt someone's eyes on her. She turned her head and saw Huo Yan resting in the shade under a willow tree.

He sat in a rocking chair with his legs crossed, drinking tea, but his eyes seemed to be fixed on her.

Su Ruanruan looked at him for a few seconds, then turned and walked towards him.

"Thank you for last night."

"If you're talking about saving that nerd, there's no need to do that. It was you who saved him in the end." Huo Yan said nonchalantly.

"If you hadn't rescued him to shore in time, I wouldn't have been able to pull him back from Hades. No matter what, I still have to thank you."

"Besides, you were the one who stayed on the roof to help me solve the problem last night, right? You saved me again."

Today, on the way to the tofu shop, she accidentally ran into the maidservant beside Zhou the Butcher's mother, Han. She followed her all the way and found that Zhou the Butcher's brother was saying goodbye to Han.

He seemed to have something urgent to do and had to rush back, while Han stayed to deal with the funeral of Butcher Zhou.

I heard that Bai Bai no longer cares about Butcher Zhou's case. What he did was outrageous, and it would not be too much for him to die again.

If anyone wants to investigate, let Butcher Zhou's brother do it. However, with his departure, the case is likely to become a mystery.

She didn't know why Butcher Zhou's brother was in a hurry to leave. Perhaps it was related to the noise she heard last night.

Huo Yan raised his eyebrows, "How do you know that person is me?"

Su Ruanruan curled her lips slightly, "First, it's because I heard that the cat's meow sounded very similar to yours..."

"Second, it's because the water drops from your wet clothes happened to fall on my wrist. That faint fishy smell is exactly the same as the smell of Mu Bai's body when he was wet. It's a body of water."

It was so cold at night, so no one would go down to the river, right? However, nothing could be certain, and she couldn't be sure.

The third one was that when she and Mu Bai came back last night, she accidentally saw Niu Mang appearing near Mu Bai's house.

Although it was just a glimpse, there was no mistaking the tall and strong figure.
