The Bai family's villa was very big, and Lan Tian's tools at that time were not as sophisticated as they are today, so he could only keep running to the Bai family's villa.
After a few visits, he stayed in the Bai family for more than two months.
Bai Ruozhu never leaves the house every day and just quietly paints in the garden.
Lan Tian's work gradually moved from inside the house to outside. These days, he has been hanging on a wire every day to repair the wall of the Bai family villa.
I don’t know when it started, but the scenery described by Bai Ruozhu changed from flowers and grass to blue sky.
It’s not the blue sky with white clouds, but the blue sky that is working hard in the air.
Lan Tian works in the air every day and occasionally catches a glimpse of Miss Bai painting in the distance out of the corner of his eye, and sometimes their eyes suddenly meet.
Whenever Bai Ruozhu looked at him, her cheeks would turn red and her heart would beat like a deer.
Suddenly one day, Lan Tian lost his footing and fell from the second-floor balcony, breaking his leg.
Bai Ruozhu watched everything happening in front of her. She widened her eyes and looked at Lan Tian falling from the balcony with horror on her face.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and her heartbeat echoed in her ears, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Her body became stiff with fear, unable to move. A feeling of despair and helplessness surged in her heart, making her feel extremely painful.
She rushed to Lan Tian's side, not knowing what to do. Her mind was blank and she couldn't help but let the tears as big as beans flow down.
"Don't worry Miss Bai, I'm fine, just a little painful."
That was the first time he spoke to her.
Bai Ruozhu was so frightened that she could only cry helplessly. She knew that he must be in great pain, but she didn't know how to help him.
Later, because of injury, Lan Tian rested at home for a few months.
In the past few months, Bai Ruozhu would ask people to send things to Lan Tian every day under various names, sometimes medicine, sometimes food.
After all, he was injured because of the renovation of his own house, so it was reasonable for Miss Bai to send him something.
But slowly, the things in the box turned into small flowers, her paintings, and letters full of love.
Just like that, a young man and woman fell in love.
When the master and mistress of the Bai family found out about this, they overturned the table and became furious.
Mrs. Bai sent away all the servants who were delivering things for the young lady, and locked up Bai Ruozhu, not allowing her to step out of the room again.
The Bai family is a prominent local family, and Miss Bai is their jewel in the crown. She is not only beautiful but also well-educated. How could she do such a thing?
"He's just a bricklayer, how can he be worthy of my daughter? He's really a toad wanting to eat swan flesh!"
Mrs. Bai had someone give Lan Tian a large sum of money and told him to stay as far away from her daughter as possible.
The next day, Lan Tian returned all the money and valuables that the Bai family had given him.
What he fell in love with was her purity, not these things.
One night, the Bai family was holding a party. In order to avoid embarrassing herself in front of the guests, the old lady of the Bai family let Bai Ruozhu out of the room.
Unexpectedly, while no one was paying attention, Bai Ruozhu didn't even bother to put on his shoes and ran out secretly.
She quickly mounted her horse and came to Lan Tian's house in the suburbs.
When she opened the door, Lan Tian was staring at the painting she had drawn. His eyes were dull, his hair was messy, and his stubble was exposed.
Suddenly, Bai Ruozhu came from behind and hugged Lantian tightly.
"I am coming."
Lan Tian held her tightly in his arms, and he felt like he had the whole world.
The master and mistress of the Bai family were furious when they found out that Bai Ruozhu had escaped. They didn't have time to care about the guests' faces. They brought twenty or thirty servants, a bunch of weapons and tools, and came to Lan Tian's house in a threatening manner.
Lan Tian was not afraid, but instead blocked the white bamboo behind him.
"A girl runs to a man's house in the middle of nowhere in the middle of nowhere at night. You are such a shameless person! You have completely disgraced the reputation and honor of our Bai family."
"Uncle and aunt, please don't insult Miss Bai like this. Nothing happened between her and me."
"No? I don't care whether you have it or not."
"If you hadn't seduced me, how could my daughter be so obsessed with someone like you? Look at what you look like."
"What is there about you that makes you worthy of being the daughter of our Bai family?"
Lan Tian looked at his shabby home and then at his patched clothes. He knew that he really didn't deserve such a good lady like Miss Bai.
"Ruozhu, you should go back with your uncle and aunt. I'm here..."
"No! No! I'd rather die than go back. Even if I die today, I'll die here."
"You shameless bitches! I'm going to break both of your legs today and restore the Bai family's clean reputation."
Mr. Bai waved his hand and took out a torch stick, and swung it violently without thinking.
Lan Tian suddenly turned around and hugged Bai Ruozhu completely under his body. A torch burning with blazing flames hit Lan Tian heavily.
Lan Tian's back was instantly covered with blisters from the burns, but he just hugged Bai Ruozhu quietly without saying a word.
Lan Tian’s tenacity shocked everyone present.
Mr. Bai didn't expect that this brat didn't even try to dodge.
"That's enough! Stop it, both of you!"
Bai Ruozhu choked and cried out loudly. Her hands trembled as she stroked Lantian's dark cheek, and rubbed her tear-stained cheek against his nose.
"I'm sorry, Lan Tian. It's all my fault."
"No, you're not wrong, and neither am I."
"But...your back...is injured like that."
"Do you want to stay? Stay and be my woman. I'll support you, okay?"
"Yeah, I'm not leaving. Not anymore."
Mr. Bai, furious, threw the torch aside with one hand: "Ridiculous! Absurd!"
"Dad, I won't leave! I'm going to die today. I'm going to die here!"
"Good! Good, good, good! Very good."
"If you insist on staying here, I will tell everyone tomorrow that you are dead! Our Bai family will never have a daughter like you again."
From that day on, Bai Ruozhu stayed and completely cut off contact with the Bai family.
The master and the old lady of the Bai family thought that Bai Ruozhu was so frail and used to a life of luxury that she would return home in a few days.
Unexpectedly, the days passed one by one, and the years passed.
Bai Ruozhu not only married Lan Tian in this dilapidated house, but also became pregnant with his child.
Unfortunately, things don’t always go smoothly, and happy days are not always smooth sailing.
