Qin Tianyi has always been good at hiding his emotions, so he didn't let Gu Ruojiao see any of it.
After delivering the clothes, he made an appointment with her to pick them up in the evening and asked her not to run to the mountains by herself before leaving.
When the stall is closed at night, Qin Tianyi will immediately come to Gu Ruojiao's house.
He deliberately chose meal time so that he could avoid the villagers.
The two of them formed a tacit understanding after going back and forth.
Every morning, the little delicate woman will be waiting for him at home.
In the evening, she would light a lamp, wait at the door, and then stuff a roasted sweet potato and dried clothes into his arms.
Sometimes potatoes.
The environment in which she lived was much poorer than he imagined. There were basically no furnishings in the house, and even if there were any, they were all dilapidated and shabby.
There are roasted sweet potatoes on the table.
He had noticed the stove behind the house before and saw that no fire had been lit for several days.
There was only a little bit of firewood left piled in the corner.
Obviously, she hasn't eaten anything well these days, and she relies on eating sweet potatoes to survive.
Qin Tianyi remembered that she was carrying a small bamboo basket and seemed to be going to the market to buy things.
"Did you go to the market that day to buy something?"
"I want to buy some rice to make wine." The little lady answered without any hesitation.
Qin Tianyi understood.
No wonder she appeared there, because the Huang family sells rice.
He did not continue to ask questions because he was not a nosy person.
She asked softly: "Why is the young master there? Are you talking about getting married to the little girl of the Huang family?"
Qin Tianyi frowned.
He looks fierce, and when he frowns slightly or has no expression, he looks fierce.
The little lady immediately waved her hand: "I just listened to what others said, and didn't mean to pry into the young master's affairs."
"No." Qin Tianyi didn't think about explaining, but he unconsciously explained, "My shop is next to it."
"oh."
She didn't ask again, as if she didn't really care about his affairs.
Qin Tianyi felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.
I couldn't help but say: "I haven't said a few words to her."
The little lady nodded, not knowing whether she was listening to him or not.
She seemed a little absent-minded, looked at the window sill several times, and hesitated to speak.
Qin Tianyi felt that she seemed to want to say something.
Just listen to her ask: "Master, is there anything else going on?"
"……without……"
He stood up and left, and Gu Ruojiao walked him to the door.
Looking at her slender and lonely figure, Qin Tianyi subconsciously said.
"Rice...how much do you want to buy? Let me buy it for you. After all, it's because of me..."
"Is that okay?" Her eyes lit up.
Under such eyes, how could he refuse.

Later, Qin Tianyi came over carrying a small bag of rice after finishing his busy work.
Today was quite busy, and it was already midnight by the time Qin Tianyi arrived in front of Gu Ruojiao's house.
From a distance, before she even got close, she saw a figure wandering outside her house.
Qin Tianyi narrowed his eyes slightly.
He did not alarm him, but wanted to see what this man was going to do.
But I saw him lying next to the window, peeking in furtively.
With that wretched figure, you can tell what he is planning at a glance!
He suddenly felt angry, and without thinking, he stepped forward, grabbed him by the back of his collar, and lifted him up.
"Hey, you, what are you doing?!"
The man was frightened and struggled wildly.
But the other person was lifted up in the air, and his legs were so frightened that they became weak.
