Liu exclaimed in surprise, "That tofu shop is yours? No wonder the shopkeeper in Maoshan Village helped you so much last time, it makes sense now."
"Oh, that's wonderful. Ruan Ruan has made something of herself. If your parents knew, they would be so happy! But you should keep this deed. It's too valuable. We can't accept it."
Su Ruanruan pushed the deed back, saying, "This is my heartfelt gift. Uncle, Aunt, and Cousin, please don't let my good intentions go to waste."
“You’ve taken such good care of Xiao Xi these past few days, I should be thanking you. I can’t bring Xiao Xi to live with me yet, I’ll have to trouble you and my aunt and uncle later, so please consider this a token of my appreciation for your hard work.”

The days of longing are hard to bear, but thankfully everything is almost over.
Sixteen days have passed since Mu Bai left. Counting the days, it's time for him to come back.
Just like last time, Su Ruanruan waited at the city gate every day, hoping for the best.
But when the city gates closed, no one came. Another day passed without Mu Bai appearing. Su Ruanruan returned home and cleaned the entire courtyard inside and out. She also put some wildflowers she had picked along the way into a vase, and the smell of them cheered her up considerably.
However, Su Ruanruan tossed and turned all night, even having nightmares.
