After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

"Brother Mu Bai, why are you back?" Su Ruanruan's throat was choked with sobs.

"Today is your birthday, so of course I have to come back." Mu Bai had a chill on his face.

Su Ruanruan quickly pulled him in, closed the door, and walked into the house holding his cold hand.

Bairuan also followed the two excitedly, wagging his tail.

Su Ruanruan asked him to sit down and went to pour him some water.

Mu Bai put down his bag and dusted off the dust on his body.

Su Ruanruan also came over with hot water, "Brother Mu Bai, drink some water to drive away the cold first."

"Okay." Mu Bai sat down and drank a few sips of warm water, which warmed him up a lot.

He touched Su Ruanruan's cheek and said softly, "How is Ruanruan lately?"

Su Ruanruan took the opportunity to sit on Mu Bai's lap, "I'm fine."

"Brother Mu Bai, why are you back? I heard that the Autumn Examination will be held on July 12th. How can you come back in time?"

Su Ruanruan leaned on his shoulder, "I know Brother Mu Bai missed it three years ago. Don't let anything go wrong this time."

"Bah bah bah...that's not what I meant."

"No, I've calculated the distance for this trip. If we leave tomorrow morning, we'll arrive by noon."

Su Ruanruan straightened up and looked into those clear eyes that were as clear as flowing water. "So, Brother Mu Bai came back to celebrate my birthday specially?"

"Brother Mu Bai, why are you so nice to me?"

Mu Bai's eyes were filled with tenderness, and he held Su Ruanruan in his arms, "Ruanruan is good to me, and I saw the silver you put in the package. Did you give me all the silver and money you have? You are such a silly girl."

Su Ruanruan smiled sweetly in Mu Bai's arms, "Brother Mu Bai is also stupid, I also saw the silver you put under my pillow."

She hugged Mu Bai's neck tightly. In this life, she still didn't get the love of her father and mother. The memories in her mind were all of the original owner, and she couldn't resonate with those family scenes.

Xiaoxi and her aunt's family treated her well because they treated her as the original owner. The same was true of Qin Bei and Gu Ji's friendship towards her.

Only the person in front of her is running towards her in the same direction. He loves her as she is now and is the only one who belongs to her.

It was like a ray of sunshine shining into her dark and closed heart.

"Brother Mu Bai, can we be together for the rest of our lives?" Su Runrun felt uneasy. She always felt that such a beautiful dream was like a bubble, which would be burst one day.

"Silly girl, I don't want to be with you for the rest of my life, I only want to be with you for all eternity."

Su Ruanruan's eyes turned red. "If I get old, with wrinkles all over my face and gray hair, will you dislike me?"

Mu Bai had a smile on his gentle face, "I'm older than you, so won't I be older by then?"

"Perhaps, before you see your temples turn gray, I will be gone before you."

Su softly nestled in his arms, listening to these sad words for a long time without saying a word.

If he were no longer in this world, there would be no color in this world for her, and her life would have no meaning.

In the quiet atmosphere, my stomach growled at an inopportune time.

Su Ruanruan just remembered that Mu Bai must have not eaten because he was in a hurry to get on the road.

Mu Bai was a little embarrassed. "Today is your birthday. I came back specially to make you long noodles. Please wait for me."

Thinking of the bowl of plain noodles I had eaten before, and then looking at Mu Bai’s gentle and unrestrained smile.

Unable to say the words of refusal, Su Ruanruan raised her lips and said, "Brother Mu Bai, I will do it with you."

In the steamy kitchen, the two of them were busy. Mu Bai put the cut noodles into the boiling water.

Su Ruanruan pulled the bellows, and from time to time she teased Bai Ruan who was playing by the fire nearby.

This feeling is peaceful and beautiful, but it's a pity that Mu Bai has to leave tomorrow morning.

Soon two bowls of fragrant noodles came out of the pot.

There was a poached egg in the bowl in front of him. He looked at Mu Bai's bowl and saw that apart from the chopped green onions, there were only noodles.

Su Ruanruan picked up the poached egg in her bowl and looked at Mu Bai, "It's too late. I can't eat so much."

Mu Bai raised his eyes and looked at Su Ruanruan, blinked his bright eyes, but did not refuse.

"Ruanruan, you are the best person to me in this world."

It’s not that Ruanruan can’t eat so much, it’s just that there’s nothing in his bowl.

Just like when he bought her meat porridge and meat buns before, she would always find various excuses to let him try them.

Apart from his mother, he could never find anyone who treated him better than Ruanruan.

Su Ruanruan smiled lightly and paused with her hand holding the noodles.

She had already seen another poached egg hidden under the noodles in her bowl.

Su Ruanruan choked up a little. Mu Bai really knew her too well. He must have known that even if they each had one fried egg, she would find an excuse to give him hers.

She stroked Mu Bai's bony hand, "You too, Brother Mu Bai, I will never regret falling in love with you."

After the meal, the two of them cleaned up the kitchen together. Su Ruanruan boiled some hot water for Mu Bai to take a bath.

……

In Su Ruanruan's little house, Mu Bai opened the bundle, took out a brush from it, fiddled with it, and pulled out a silver note from the pen tube.

"This is?"

"I won first prize at the poetry competition."

Su Ruanruan was holding a hundred taels of silver in her hand, and she was happier than if she had won the lottery.

"Brother Mu Bai, you are so awesome."

"Please keep this banknote. Consider it as my advance betrothal money to you."

Su bit her lip softly and glared at him, "Who wants to marry you?"

Mu Bai held her hand and said, "Before I went to Lingzhou, you said you would marry me, and I took it seriously. Now you can't regret it."

"After the Autumn Examination, I will go to the Su family to propose marriage."

I guess Mu Bai doesn't know yet that she has severed her relationship with the Su family. She will tell him after he returns from Lingzhou.

The ancients attached great importance to filial piety. I don’t know if Mu Bai can understand her. There is no need for her to affect Mu Bai’s mood for that top family.

Su Ruanruan placed a kiss on Mu Bai's lips, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and propose to me."

"I have something else to give you." Mu Bai took out a brocade box from his bag.

Su Ruanruan opened it and found it was a emerald green hairpin with a quietly blooming snow lotus on the head. It looked lifelike. At a glance, Su Ruanruan knew that this thing was not cheap.

"This... is too expensive."

"I didn't buy it. It was given to me by a noble person."

Su Ruanruan was puzzled, "Noble? What noble? Why did he give you this?"

Su Ruanruan was afraid that Mu Bai would be noticed by those noble ladies when he went out.

You know, he has a face that is very attractive to women. Even in a small county, there are many women who like him.

Seeing that Su Ruanruan was jealous, Mu Bai stopped teasing her.

"That nobleman is the prince of Duke Su's mansion in the capital. He admires me and when he learned that I have a lover, he gave me this jade hairpin."

"I heard that the prince has been looking for his lost sister. He prepares a birthday gift for her every year and then gives it to the destined person."

"This year, you are the destined one."

Su Ruanruan was not interested in other people's affairs. No matter how good this jade hairpin was, it was given by an irrelevant person.

She just wanted to know whether Mu Bai had prepared any coming-of-age ceremony for her.

She put the jade hairpin back into the brocade box, stretched out her hand, and smiled slyly.

"Then... has Brother Mu Bai prepared a coming-of-age ceremony for me?"

"Well, of course there is, but compared to this jade hairpin, it is really nothing good."

Su Ruanruan glared at Mu Bai arrogantly, "If it's not a good thing, I don't want it."

She added, "How about a different gift? I already have something I want."
