Originally, Xue Mu just thought that Xu Ruyan would have some emotions.
For example, happy, joyful, or even more outrageous, missing.
But he didn't expect that the moment he saw him, he would pounce directly on him.
This surprised him.
But one thing can be felt.
That's the flexibility of young girls.
Very smooth and elastic.
Xue Mu could only caress her back and said, "It's okay, I'm here."
The old woman saw the two of them hugging each other outside, and all she could see was the appearance of her and her dead wife decades ago.
"In the blink of an eye, the child's father has been dead for ten years..." the old lady couldn't help but sigh.
After comforting her for a while, Xu Ruyan left Xue Mu's arms.
Perhaps it was hindsight, but she didn't realize until she took two steps back that she had just been crying in Xue Mu's arms.
Her face also turned red, and there were two more blushes on her cheeks.
At this time, Xue Mu came to the yard and said to the old lady, "Old man, I'm here to take her back."
"Okay, okay." The old lady stood up and said, "Then you can go back."
In fact, she could tell that this girl was probably not his little sister.
It's more likely that they are in love.
Maybe he took her home after finishing his errands.
Xue Mu took out a few ingots of silver from his pocket and gave them to Xu Ruyan, asking her to give them to the old lady.
The old lady took a look and said quickly: "No! I can't have it."
"Old man, please accept it. If you don't accept it, next time I go away, I will be embarrassed to leave my little sister here to take care of you." Xue Mu explained with a smile.
After listening to these words, the old lady finally accepted the money.
She immediately said: "Okay, then when you come here next time, I will take these silver coins to buy you delicious food."
Xu Ruyan nodded and said happily: "Okay~"
These days, she and her grandmother chat happily.
It was as if she was her grandmother who had passed away many years ago.
She reluctantly came to the old grandma and hugged her gently.
The old woman looked at Xu Ruyan and smiled happily: "If you miss me in the future, I will come back and see you."
"Definitely! Ruyan will come to see you in a while."
"You should take more care of yourself~"
"Okay~"
On the way back, Xu Ruyan was much more talkative than usual.
She no longer looks like the lady she used to be, and is a little less shy.
She said to Xue Mu at the side: "It turns out there are a lot of female red embroidery, but I don't know how to do it. Grandma taught me all about it."
"Yeah." Xue Mu listened and nodded in agreement from time to time: "That's good."
Xu Ruyan didn't seem too interested in seeing him.
Suddenly I felt that I had said too much.
So she asked cautiously: "These days... Mr. Xue, how are you doing?"
"It's pretty good." Xue Mu explained.
Hearing this answer, Xu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief.
When she was almost home, she found a woman standing there at the door of her house, seemingly waiting for them.
Taking a closer look, it was the woman who delivered tofu to Xue Mu that night.
Could it be...during the days when I am not around during this period of time?
They have already...
As she said that, she looked towards the big room.
Maybe that's where they rested at night.
Thinking of this, Xu Ruyan's eyes gradually dimmed.
However, Xue Mu did not notice this.
But he had already activated his vision insight, and when he reached the door of his house, he asked at the right time: "Sister Leng?"
"I am here."
Today's Leng Mei can be said to be dressed up carefully.
Maybe it was because she was in a good mood today, so she naturally wanted to put on some makeup, or maybe she wanted to see Xu Ruyan, but the competitiveness among women kept her from falling behind.
Xu Ruyan looked at her.
Although she had often interacted with the female relatives of some court officials before.
But none of them are as good-looking as the Leng Mei in front of them.
Her eyes were piercing and lively, her eyebrows were trimmed, her nose was straight, and her cheeks were slightly dimpled. She was simply unparalleled in beauty.
The sun happened to shine on her face, making her complexion even more crystal clear and as soft as jade.
Although she is dressed in ordinary clothes, she still has a ladylike temperament.
Xue Mu then introduced to Xu Ruyan: "Ruyan, this is Leng Mei. Sister Leng, you have seen her before."
Xu Ruyan looked at her, nodded, and greeted in a low voice: "Sister Leng."
Leng Mei smiled and said: "Miss Ruyan is so polite. I just glanced at you from a distance before, but now that I'm looking up close, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful."
Xu Ruyan felt even more uncomfortable after being praised like this by her.
The kind that cannot be explained clearly.
Xue Mu then explained to Xu Ruyan: "Sister Leng will live in the same house as us. The house is very large with three rooms."
Xu Ruyan did not have any chance to express her opinion on this decision.
Because she was taken in.
She nodded again: "Okay."
"Then let's move today." Xue Muze said.
With that said, he walked into the courtyard.
Before Leng Mei left, she glanced at Xu Ruyan and knew what she was thinking.
So she walked to Xu Ruyan and said with a smile: "The three of us will be neighbors from now on. If you need help, sister Ruyan, just ask."
Hearing these words, Xu Ruyan was stunned for a moment.
React all at once.
[The three of them are neighbors] In other words, Leng Mei and Xue Mu do not have that kind of relationship at the moment.
They didn't get together after they left on their own.
Thinking of this, Xu Ruyan felt relieved. She saluted again and said, "Okay, Sister Leng."
After Leng Mei saw her, she looked at Xue Mu in front of her and said, "Xiao Mu, we have to hurry up, it's getting dark."
"good."
They were busy all afternoon.
They didn't have many things at home, and Xue Mu rented a carriage in advance and moved all the things there.
When carrying things, Xue Mu was always pushed aside by Leng Mei.
"Don't come, I'll come."
Xue Mu smiled and said: "Sister Leng, how can I, a grown man, let you lift heavy objects?"
"You can't see it, and you're still injured, so don't move." Leng Mei explained.
After that, she asked Xu Ruyan to come over and help.
Seeing this, Xue Mu had no choice but to go get other things dumbfounded.
When Xu Ruyan heard this, she was a little surprised and didn't know what happened.
Leng Mei whispered deliberately: "You don't know he's injured yet, do you?"
Xu Ruyan shook her head.
Leng Mei replied: "He was stabbed in the abdomen a few days ago, but he is probably almost healed."
Xu Ruyan was very surprised.
She hurriedly looked at Xue Mu and was about to speak, but Leng Mei said, "He probably doesn't want you to worry, so he doesn't want you to know, so just pretend you don't know."
Xu Ruyan finally stopped talking. Although she continued to pack her things, she was still worried about Xue Mu's injured body.
After an afternoon of cleaning, they finally moved to the new house in the evening.
The house is large and the location is very quiet.
The assigned rooms are also very simple. The three rooms have similar specifications, so let them choose first.
Leng Mei gave him an ingot of silver and said to Xue Mu, "Xiao Mu~ From now on, my rent money will be handed over to you."
"Sister Leng, you don't have to pay rent. After all, I always eat your tofu." Xue Mu explained.
"That's not possible. As for the tofu, you can eat it as you like, but we still have to sort out the accounts."
When Leng Mei said this, she did not look at Xue Mu, but instead looked at Xu Ruyan.
