Su Ruanruan didn't have time to stare at him; she had already walked far away.
Sigh, I wonder how Zhou the butcher's case is going.
I wonder what Huo Yan is thinking, whether he thinks she is still a suspect.
"elder sister……"
A figure suddenly jumped out in front of her, startling Su Ruanruan. The person with red lips, white teeth, and fair skin was none other than Xiaoyu from Qingfeng Pavilion.
Su Ruanruan looked at him carefully again, wondering why she had never seen him before, but had run into him several times these days.
Moreover, there seemed to be a sense of familiarity about his eyes and brows, though she couldn't quite describe what it was.
Why is my sister looking at me like that?
Xiaoyu held a string of candied hawthorns in her hand, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Sister, do you want some?"
Su Ruanruan took a step back, "I don't want it, you can keep it for yourself!"
"Does my sister look down on my... background?"
"..." Su Ruanruan frowned. Is business really that bad for Qingfeng Pavilion now? Do they even have to go out on the street to solicit customers?
Su Ruanruan looked around and said, "Didn't you hear them cursing me? I'm not much better off than you."
Xiaoyu looked at Su Ruanruan with some heartache, "I've heard about what happened to you, sister. Is it very painful? Is your injury any better?"
"Xiaoyu feels sorry for her older sister..."
Although passersby didn't know Xiaoyu's identity, Su Ruanruan didn't want to stand on the street and be pointed at by others, especially since they had already tacitly accepted her relationship with Mu Bai.
It wouldn't be right for her to remain ambiguous with Xiaoyu at this point. Su Ruanruan waved her hand, "I'm feeling better, thank you for your concern, you should go back now."
Su Ruanruan turned and left, refusing to look at Xiaoyu's aggrieved expression.
On a side note: Do you guys also think I abused the female lead? I think it's alright, better than those transmigrated female leads I've read before who were whipped with barbed whips and had their hearts ripped out, right?
The female protagonist currently has no special abilities or hidden identities; she's just a small-time vendor. She has to go through a process of growing from weak to strong, so she'll experience some unexpected events.
Can't people accept that the female lead isn't a virgin? (ó﹏ò?) I'm so afraid that later on, people will say that the female lead doesn't respect herself.
In a book I read before, the female protagonist was also a time-traveler who arrived in an ancient rural village. Her house was burgled, and when she couldn't fight back, she was robbed while trying to save her life. Later, she encountered a wealthy man who bullied men and women, and she submitted to him again.
Why do so many people say they understand, and no one says he mistreats the female lead or that she lacks self-respect? But with my story, it's different. I don't think it's that angsty. (?﹏?)
I don't want to write articles that follow the crowd, or articles where you can guess the ending just by reading the beginning.
No matter what the female lead encounters, makes decisions, or does in the future, please don't criticize me.
I don't have an outline; the story is written bit by bit from scratch, and I don't know what will happen next.
I also read the book reviews. Su Ruanruan's current image is quite ordinary; she hasn't revealed her true face yet and isn't exactly a heartthrob. In ancient times, a heartthrob without family background or protection would be truly pitiful, even more so.
Qin Bei and the others liked her because of their childhood friendship; Magistrate Bai liked her because he was reminded of his deceased wife; Mu Bai truly liked her.
And that Butcher Zhou, with his bullying image, I don't think he'd be the refined type, right?
I knew someone would give a bad review after reading the chapter about sneaking into someone's boudoir, and it turned out to be a one-star review.
The female lead has no martial arts skills, and she is not a female lead who is skilled in both medicine and poison like other female leads. She cannot defeat Zhou the Butcher, who is much stronger than her.
It's true that he groped me, it was disgusting. But that's the mentality of a bad person. You only see villains in TV dramas who come in the middle of the night with impure thoughts and keep chatting with the female lead. Or they keep rubbing against her neck until she's rescued. (Please don't scold me, please don't scold me.)
Orz My stats are terrible, Tomato doesn't love me!
I might switch platforms in the future, but I will continue to write this story until it's finished.
Because I really like the character Mu Bai; he's gentler than Zhang Yizhi, the male lead who came out late in the previous book.
Although it ended badly, he will forever remain the white moonlight in the heroine's heart and the cinnabar mole on her chest.
