After tossing and turning all night without a sleep, Su Runruan got up early and followed the shop assistant to push a cart to deliver tofu to several restaurants.

Seeing her coming out of the tofu shop, Huo Yan immediately jumped from a locust tree.

The two guys and Su Ruanruan were really scared.

Su Ruanruan gave a wink, and the two guys left first.

"Why are you here?" She glanced at the still somewhat gray sky.

He wouldn't have stayed out all night, would he?

The weather is already very cold now. Even if you have a healthy body, you can’t do this.

"I can't sleep anyway, so I'll just wait for you here." Huo Yan saw that she was not wearing thick clothes, so he held her in his arms, "Why don't you put on more clothes?"

"Didn't you prepare some cotton clothes? Come on, let's eat first, and then I'll take you to buy some clothes."

Su Ruanruan was suddenly pulled into his arms, and the coldness from his body penetrated into her, making her shiver.

This guy most likely really stayed outside all night. Wow, is he really not afraid of the cold?

Su Ruanruan thought of what he said last night. He actually wanted to take her as a concubine.

This was something she didn't want and wasn't willing to do.

She reached out and pushed Huo Yan, finally getting out of his arms.

"Don't come to see me anymore."

Huo Yan didn't expect that after waiting for him all night and welcoming her with joy, she would have this attitude.

"Why?"

Su Ruanruan thought for a moment, "Can't you hear what others are saying? They say that you and I have had an affair for a long time. I don't want them to talk about it anymore. Let's keep our distance from now on."

"But what they said is also true. You are already my woman, and I should give you an explanation."

Su Ruanruan looked at his serious expression and wanted to laugh instead, "Explanation? Your explanation is to make me a submissive concubine?"

"I'm telling you, Huo Yan, let alone a concubine, even if someone wants to marry me, I will never agree."

"I have to go to work. I'm leaving now."

Huo Yan grabbed her and said, "Don't be so petty. You are an orphan with no one to rely on. You will be bullied by others. You are already mine. As long as you follow me, I will protect you even if you are my concubine."

Su Ruanruan brushed his hand away. "I don't want to break up with you because you've protected me and helped me before. But if you keep pestering me, we won't even be friends anymore."

Su Ruanruan was about to leave, but she stopped and looked at him, "I was drunk at the beginning, and I accidentally met you. If this person is not you, it will be someone else."

"So, please don't take these too seriously, Captain Huo. I won't pester you to take responsibility. We are just getting what we need."

……

Another half a month passed. During this time, Su Runruan went to visit her uncle's house in Daoxiang Village and went to see Xiaoxi again. After that, she was busy with the opening of the shop.

During this period of time, Huo Yan has been much quieter and has not appeared in front of her again.

Two days ago, the yard that Su Runruan asked Ziwu to help find was ready, and today Su Runruan planned to move in.

She was checking the accounts in the accounting office. The hot pot restaurant's business had been booming these days, and everyone was very curious about this new way of eating.

She threw most of her recent gains into the space, leaving only a small amount outside.

Because the hot pot restaurant had just opened, Ziwu had been busy there recently, so he left this side to other people to take care of.

"Boss, someone is looking for you outside."

Su Ruanruan was playing with Bai Ruan in the house. It had been cold outside these days, and the little spoiled child was too lazy to go out. She stayed by the brazier all day, curling herself up into a little meat ball.

Hearing the waiter's voice, Su Ruanruan opened the door and asked, "Who's looking for me?"

The guy said, "He said he was a friend who grew up with you in the village. His name is Gu..."

Su Ruanruan already knew who it was. "Okay, ask them to wait for me. I'll go find them in a while."

Su Runruan packed up the account book in her hand, handed Bairuan to the care of the clerk, and then went out.

Outside the tofu shop, Gu Ji and Qin Bei were standing side by side. When they saw Su Runrun, they hurried over to greet her.

For some reason, Su Ruanruan couldn't help but have tears in her eyes when she saw them.

They were friends of the original owner, and there were too many scenes in his memory of them playing together when they were young.

They loved her like an older brother, and even though they were often apart due to the busy life, the friendship between them never changed.

She even envied the original owner for having such a friend who cared about her.

In her previous life, apart from Su He, no one else was truly kind to her.

And now, Qin Bei and Gu Ji's concern for her was just because she benefited from the original owner.

If one day they knew that there was someone else's soul in this body, would they still be nice to her?

Seeing her eyes moist, Gu Ji and Qin Bei felt a little helpless.

"Ruanruan, what's wrong with you?"

"Ruanruan, is someone bullying you?"

Su Ruanruan shook her head, "I'm fine, I just remembered that when we were little, we went to the mountains to pick wild fruits and went to the fields to pick sweet potatoes and roasted them secretly."

"It was so nice at that time. I was silly and had no worries."

Qin Bei and Gu Ji smiled at each other. They had the best relationship when they were young, but as they grew older, one was busy being an apprentice while the other was busy making a living with his father, so they became more distant.

Gu Ji lifted the sack behind him and said, "Here are the wild walnuts I picked on the mountain before. The skins have been removed. And the sweet potatoes Qin Bei gave you. They are very sweet and you loved them the most."

Qin Bei also said, "This sweet potato has been stored in my cellar. It's still in good condition. Try it. It tastes the same as when I was a child."

A few days ago, he and Gu Ji came to see Su Ruanruan. At that time, she locked herself in Mr. Mu's house and refused to see anyone.

They didn't know what happened between Ruanruan and Master Mu, but Master Mu went to Lingzhou and never came back.

From the departure of Master Mu to the death of Xiaoxi, Ruanruan was so sad.

Now that they have seen her and see that she is doing well, they feel relieved.

Su Ruanruan calmed herself down and asked Gu Ji to help carry the sacks to the tofu shop.

After delivering the gifts, the two were about to leave, but Su Ruanruan did not let them go.

He took the two of them to the hotpot restaurant. There were ten private rooms on the second floor. The first floor also paid great attention to the privacy of the guests, with many partitions built. Each partition was covered by a half curtain. Even passers-by could only see the lower body of the people sitting on the seats, but not their faces, unless they bent down deliberately.

All the private rooms were full, the waiters were busy serving the dishes, and the restaurant was steaming hot, in stark contrast to the cold weather.

When Su Ruanruan and the others came in, Ziwu, who was guarding the door and fiddling with an abacus, saw Su Ruanruan.

"Boss, is there any room on the first floor?" Su Ruanruan asked.

Zi Wu called the waiter and found out from him that a family was about to leave.

It just so happens that it’s still some time before the peak dinner time, so there’s no need to queue up for a number.

"Please sit down and wait for a while. There will be a seat soon."

????I wrote this manuscript in the middle of the night. I don’t have an outline or any drafts. I was just blindly writing the story about her, him, and him.

Thank you for your small gifts and love, thank you for your support.

No matter how bad the data is, I want to keep writing their stories.

If you encounter a plot you don't like, please forgive me, thank you.
