After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

On the other side, Su Runrun had been waiting at the city gate after lunch, hoping to see that familiar figure in the bustling crowd.

Mu Bai said that he would definitely come back for her birthday. Today is the seventh day of July.

But I waited from dawn till dusk, but there was no sign of him.

Huo Yan was drinking at the table at the city gate and stared at her for a long time.

Jin Yu, "Who is this Miss Su waiting for?"

Niu Mang, "How about I go and ask?"

As he was about to stand up, Jin Yu immediately stopped him.

"Who do you care about? Go and cool off."

Niu Mang said, "Okay, let's go. I have to go back to practice martial arts. You can have a good chat with Big Brother."

After he left, Jin Yu went to see Huo Yan and asked knowingly, "Brother, what are you looking at?"

Huo Yan took a sip of wine and said, "Shut up. Don't think I don't know what you want to say."

Jin Yu chuckled, "Brother, I can see that you treat Miss Su a little differently."

"no!"

"No? I don't believe it. If you didn't mean anything to her, why would you be reluctant to let her spend the night in jail and release her? And why would you stand guard on the roof of Mu Bai's house all night to prevent others from doing anything to them?"

"He certainly wouldn't happen to show up at the inn in town and save Su Ruanruan."

Huo Yan said calmly, "Don't let your imagination run wild. I just didn't want Mr. Mu to be implicated by her. I saved her at the inn only because the scholar Mu Bai asked me to do so."

Jin Yu shook his head and smiled. Miss Xinrou has been engaged and will be married in a few months. "Big brother is not young anymore, you won't stay single forever, right?"

"Even if Big Brother thinks so, the Concubine Xian will not agree."

"Brother, don't forget. If you are still alone in the new year, Concubine Xian will arrange for you to find a concubine."

Huo Yan felt upset when this was mentioned. He took another sip of wine and looked over there, but Su Ruanruan was gone.

Su Ruanruan walked back, looking back from time to time.

But I can't wait for the person I want to wait for.

It turns out that it is so painful to have someone in your heart but miss him/her so much.

After returning to the yard, he cleaned up and washed up, then lay down on the bed, holding Bairuan in his arms.

She opened the note left by Mu Bai and read it for a long time.

Wait for me to come back.

The candlelight illuminated the room with a warm yellow glow, but my heart felt empty.

Brother Mu Bai, I miss you so much.

Second day

Su Ruanruan waited at the city gate early, waiting for it to open.

The moment the city gate opened, all the people who had been waiting outside rushed in.

Su Ruanruan looked into the crowd, afraid of missing him.

Until the tiny light in my eyes gradually dimmed, there was no sign of him.

Apart from eating, Su Ruanruan has been guarding the city gate like a wife waiting for her husband.

It's getting dark

"Don't wait, he won't come back."

Beside him, Huo Yan stood beside Su Ruanruan at some point, looking in the direction of the city gate and spoke slowly.

Su Ruanruan's eyebrows jumped suddenly, "You...what do you mean?"

"You do not know?"

"What should I know?" Su Ruanruan had a bad feeling in her heart, "Tell me quickly, why can't Mu Bai come back? Did something happen to him?"

Su Ruanruan clutched her aching chest and looked at Huo Yan nervously.

"A few days ago, an official document was issued, and the autumn examination was moved up to July 12. In addition, all the scholars from the counties in the northwest will go to the Imperial Academy in Lingzhou to take the examination."

Su Ruanruan breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her clenched fists.

As long as nothing happens to Mu Bai, it's fine.

As for the Autumn Examination, she really didn't know anything. The official documents had been sent to the academy, and she had been busy with Su He's affairs recently, so she hadn't asked about it.

I guess Mu Bai didn't know about this change before he left.

Today is the eighth day of July, and it is only a few days away from July 12th, so let Mu Bai stay in Lingzhou Inn and prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

Three years ago, he missed the autumn examination due to illness, and he couldn't let anything go wrong this time.

She knew how important the Autumn Examination was to Mu Bai, and how hard he had worked. She hoped that Mu Bai could get what he wished for.

It’s just that special days are always sad.

Today is not only the original owner's coming of age day, but also her first birthday in another world.

When the original owner was young, her parents would buy her a string of candied haws, or a beautiful hairband, or sometimes a bowl of sweet sugar water on her birthday.

After that, no one mentioned her birthday anymore.

She is the exact opposite of the original owner. When she was a child, her father and mother never celebrated her birthday.

Su He celebrated her first birthday. Although it was just a small cake, it warmed her entire childhood.

At that time, she vowed to be her lifelong friend, but she indirectly killed her.

If they had not met, would their situations be different?

Su He would not be killed by her.

At this moment, the evening breeze was filled with desolation, and Su Ruanruan hugged her arms tightly.

"Thank you, Captain Huo, for letting me know. I'm leaving now."

Su Ruanruan walked to the alley, found a stall selling plain noodles, sat down, and asked the owner for a bowl of plain noodles.

Looking at the steaming noodles in the bowl, she whispered, "Su Ruanruan, happy birthday."

After eating a bowl of noodles and drinking the soup, I didn't feel so cold inside anymore.

She comforted herself that next time, Mu Bai would never miss her birthday again.

When she came out of the shop, she ran into Huo Yan again.

"for you."

Su Ruanruan looked at the candied haws in his hand, a little stunned.

It's really that his tough guy image doesn't match the sweet and sour candied haws in his hand.

Being looked at by her like this, Huo Yan looked away feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Don't get me wrong, that Niu Mang bought it for someone else. I bought one extra string. If you don't want it, I'll throw it away."

"Thank you." Su Ruanruan took the candied haws and smiled at him.

This was the first gift she received on her birthday, even if it was something no one else wanted.

Huo Yan's eyes were indifferent, "Yeah." He left with a drastic move.

Back in the room, Su Runrun was lying steadily on the bed, with Bai Runrun rubbing against her face.

The white and soft little balls are so cute.

Su Ruanruan held it in her arms and said, "Brother Mu Bai is not here, but luckily you are here to accompany me. Let's depend on each other for the next half month."

Su Ruanruan was still immersed in her own world when she heard a soft knock on the door.

She thought she was hallucinating, but who would come so late?

But Bairuan turned over from the bed, with his ears erected high, his round eyes looking out, and his tail was shaking like a propeller, almost bursting with tears.

Su Ruanruan also noticed its abnormality, and after listening carefully, it seemed like someone was really knocking on the door.

"Woof...Woo..." Bairuan was very happy. He had already jumped off the bed and was squatting in front of the door, waiting for Su Ruanruan to open the door.

"Why are you in such a hurry? We don't even know who it is. If a bad guy comes, can you protect me?"

Su Ruanruan put on her clothes, opened the door with a smile, and Bai Ruan had already run to the yard impatiently.

The little nose was sniffing hard under the courtyard gate, and the child was crying excitedly.

Su Ruanruan frowned. What was it so excited about?

After all, the person who came couldn't be Mu Bai.

"Who is it?" Su Ruanruan asked through the door.

"Ruanruan, it's me!"

When the clear voice sounded, Su Ruanruan almost didn't react.

She leaned against the door and looked out through the gap. Even though it was dark and she couldn't see the person clearly, she was sure that it was Mu Bai's outline.

I have mixed feelings, but mostly surprise.

She quickly opened the door and threw herself into Mu Bai's arms.
