Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Su Wan ate the whole pot of stewed pork ribs. Baili Dongjun was sitting on a bowl of white rice, but it was too dry to swallow, so he went to the kitchen to make himself a bowl of noodles.

The night was as dark as ink. When Su Wan closed the shop, she deliberately looked at the other shops that were still open. Her eyes met with the woman selling buns. She gave her a wink and then closed the door.

Su Wan also closed the door, looked at Baili Dongjun, and said casually: "Sir, there is no business today."

"Yeah," Baili Dongjun sighed when talking about business, "I don't know what's going on in Chaisang City. There's not a single person on this street all day."

"It's late, you should go to bed early."

As he spoke, he looked at Su Wan, who was wearing men's clothes that were clearly ill-fitting. A strange feeling welled up in his heart, and he quickly changed the subject: "The tailor shop is closed. When it opens, I'll take you to make some new clothes."

"Okay, thank you, sir." Su Wan thanked him.

She went upstairs, lay on the bed, and fell asleep early.

Under the premise of being uncertain whether there will be tough battles in the future, she needs to stay alert and conserve her energy.

……

The next morning, Su Wan got up and just as she picked up the broom to sweep the floor, Baili Dongjun rushed over and snatched the broom from her hand.

Under Su Wan's strange gaze, he said, "I haven't exercised for a long time. Now that there are no customers, it's a good time to exercise."

Su Wan nodded: "As you wish, sir."

She picked up the rag, but Baili Dongjun rushed forward with a handsome face and a bright smile: "I'll do this too."

Su Wan: "Then I'll go get ready early..."

"I'm done!" Baili Dongjun answered quickly, raised his hand, and smiled sweetly: "Meat buns, I steamed a big pot, you can go and eat it quickly."

Su Wan loves to eat meat.

He knocked on the door of a butcher's shop early this morning. Faced with the butcher's expression as if he was ready to rip him off, he bought ten pounds of meat and steamed a large pot of buns.

Su Wan thanked him and walked towards the kitchen.

She ate a greasy meat bun with one hand and walked towards the door, intending to say hello to the sesame oil seller to see if she could get a feel for him. But as soon as she went out, she saw a person lying at the door.

The man was lying face down in front of the tavern, his ponytail tied up casually was as messy as weeds, he was holding a gun in his hand, his clothes were soaked in blood, and it looked like he had suffered serious injuries.

Su Wan squatted down and turned him over. She saw a young but handsome face with furrowed brows and tightly pursed thin lips. His brows were full of the boldness and unrestrainedness of a young man.

She pushed the man's arm and said, "Wake up."

Sikong Changfeng pursed his cracked and pale lips twice, then heard someone calling him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a woman who looked like a fairy calling him.

The fairy was holding a meat bun in her hand.

So fragrant...

"Meat……"

"What did you say?" Seeing the young man opening his mouth to say something, Su Wan couldn't hear clearly, so she moved closer to listen.

"Meat buns...meat..."

Su Wan looked at the meat bun in her hand and said, "I've already taken a bite. I'll go back and get you another one."

Having said that, fearing that the man was really starving to death, she stood up and rushed into the store. However, as soon as she took the first step, a strong force grabbed her calf.

She subconsciously attacked and kicked... The boy groaned.

By the time she reacted, the boy had been kicked unconscious by her, and his muddy hand was pointing at her, wanting to eat the meat bun in her hand.

Su Wan: “…”

Su Wan: "Master! It's bad, someone has fainted in front of our store!"

Baili Dongjun rushed out upon hearing the noise and saw the boy fainting on the ground, with Su Wan, who was holding the boy's calf tightly with his big hand, eating a meat bun in her mouth and trying to pry the boy's hand apart.

The boy's other hand was pointing at Su Wan, as if he was identifying her as the murderer who knocked him unconscious.

Baili Dongjun was stunned for a moment and quickly stepped forward to help!

The young man was using great strength, but the two men didn't dare to really hurt him, so they couldn't find a solution for a while.

Seeing that the other four shops were about to open, Su Wan asked Baili Dongjun to give a meat bun to the young man.

Baili Dongjun took out a meat bun and put it in the boy's hand that was pointing at Su Wan. The boy got what he wanted and suddenly lost his energy and let go of the hand that was holding Su Wan.

Baili Dongjun laughed: "I didn't expect you to be such a foodie?"

Su Wan: “…”

Realizing that his words also teased Su Wan, Baili Dongjun hurriedly turned around to explain: "That's not what I meant! I meant he..."

"What should we do now?" Su Wan asked while suppressing her smile.

Baili Dongjun thought for a moment and said, "Save him! Young people enjoy the world of martial arts. If you can help someone in need, give him a hand!"

Baili Dongjun helped the young man into the tavern and placed him on the bed in the guest room.

He looked at Su Wan, his gaze lingering on the white silk stockings on her calves for a moment. Looking at the bloody handprints on them, he felt a little uncomfortable.

How could this guy just grab a girl's legs? He deserves a beating!

Baili Dongjun said, "I'll apply medicine to him. Go back to your room and change your clothes first."

"Yeah." Su Wan nodded.

……

After applying the medicine, Baili Dongjun came down and saw Su Wan playing with abacus beads.

He said, "The man's injuries aren't life-threatening. I gave him some medicine. I think he'll be fine after a few days of rest."

"What happens after he wakes up?" Su Wan asked.

She was still unclear about Bai Dongjun's purpose of opening a shop here. She didn't want the young man to stay. After all, something big was going to happen here, and the third senior brother was not making any movement now, which meant that he was planning a big move. If the young man stayed here, he might be in danger.

"Hmm..." Baili Dongjun thought for a moment and said, "Let's see if he has a place to go. If not, I can take him in temporarily."

Su Wan felt that this person was really kind, and there were not many such pure and kind people in this world.

Baili Dongjun also had his own thoughts: "Let him stay here and be a waiter."

Su Wan: “…”

Job stealer?!

Seeing Su Wan's expression was not right, Baili Dongjun realized that she had misunderstood something and quickly said, "I meant to give you a promotion."

Su Wan found it interesting: "Promotion?"

"Yes!" Baili Dongjun stood up and said, "From now on, you are the accountant of our Donggui Tavern!"

Su Wan looked at the counter and then at Baili Dongjun: "But we haven't sold a single bottle of wine yet."

Baili Dongjun was silent for a moment, then said, "I've thought about it. The reason I can't sell the wine is because I don't have a cashier. How can I make any money without a cashier?"

"Miss Su, for the sake of our performance, I have no choice but to let you get promoted."

"As for the menial tasks, if that guy doesn't stay, I'll do it!"

Baili Dongjun patted his chest, his face solemn and righteous.

Su Wan was moved by him and said solemnly, "Don't worry, sir. I will be a good accountant and calculate every account carefully!"
