She reached out her hand, about to take Mu Bai's pulse, when she saw a person standing in the courtyard staring blankly at her.
"Qin...Qin Bei, what are you doing here?"
Su Ruanruan saw that he was covered in sweat and had a towel draped over his shoulder.
He stood at the door of her room, holding tools in his hand.
She had a sudden inspiration and thought of the broken door.
She forgot to ask Mu Bai how the door broke.
But now he also knew that Qin Bei was the door repairman that Mu Bai had invited.
There aren't many skilled craftsmen in the county town, but there are quite a few too, so it's rather coincidental that I managed to run into one.
Qin Bei wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, looking at the two figures standing close together in the courtyard, feeling somewhat disappointed.
He had never seen anyone look at her with such loving eyes before. He had noticed her the moment she walked in.
But all she could see was that gentle and refined scholar.
He had spoken with Young Master Mu before Su Ruanruan came in.
He knew he had passed the county-level imperial examination and would soon participate in the provincial-level examination.
I also know that Young Master Mu has a sweetheart with whom he wants to spend his life. Although I can sense the faint sadness in his eyes, his tender love is undeniable.

But then he realized she was gone.
He hadn't seen Ruan Ruan for a long time. This morning, he took an oxcart from the town to the county to find her at the tofu shop where she used to work, but was told that she wasn't there.
But if she's not there, where could she be?
He could only search aimlessly, but he encountered Young Master Mu who needed to hire a carpenter.
At that moment, Ruan Ruan was looking at him with a smile.
His hand unconsciously reached for his waist, where a silver hairpin was wrapped. He had looked at it for a long time in the market earlier that day, and thinking that Ruan Ruan would probably like it, he bought it.
But there's no need to bring it out now; she has a better option.
He should be happy to see her happy and have found a better partner.
His mind went through many twists and turns, but in the end he finally felt at peace.
