"Drunk into this ghost appearance, still thinking about selling tea leaves, are you a 'tea-selling girl'." Li Li felt speechless at this female drunkard and scolded softly.

Su Ruoyun closed her eyes tightly, smacked her lips, and remained indifferent to Li Li's words, suddenly popping out a crisp and loud word: "Buy!"

"……" Li Li.

Because she was too lazy to send them home one by one, Li Li simply brought the two to her apartment.

Yesterday morning.

Su Ruoyun woke up from her dream in a daze, was shaken by the light entering through the curtain gap, raised her hand weakly to cover her eyes, and yawned.

The rustling sound also woke up the person beside her. He Jingrong, huddled in the quilt, asked softly: "What time is it?"

Her voice carried thick drunkenness and sleepiness.

Hearing this, Su Ruoyun climbed up, leaned over to take her phone from the bedside table, and rubbed her swollen temples with her other hand, "It's 9:55."

While flipping through the messages, she tried hard to recall what happened last night. Gradually, some fragments drilled into her mind, as if dreaming, and as if it really happened.

The action of her thumb sliding up and down stopped. She shook her head violently, trying to shake those unclear fragments out of her mind, and her soft black hair instantly became messy.

"Zhuzi, what are you doing?" As soon as He Jingrong opened her eyes, what she saw was her friend acting as a washing machine, running at high speed.

"Waking up." Saying that, Su Ruoyun took the initiative to end the recall, sighed, lifted the quilt, and walked slowly to the bathroom.

In a while, Li Li walked in with a cup of honey water in each hand, "Awake?"

He Jingrong sat cross-legged on the soft bed, turning her head and staring at the green trees outside the window. The curtain had been completely pulled open, and the dazzling light shone into the floor-to-ceiling window.

Hearing Li Li's words, she nodded.

Li Li walked to the bedside, handed the honey water in her hand, and placed the other cup on the bedside table, "Drink this, where is Zhuzi?"

"Taking a shower."

"Auntie has already made breakfast, wash up and come out to eat quickly."

……

Half an hour later, Su Ruoyun shuffled in slippers, walked out of the room, sat opposite Li Li, and served herself a bowl of stomach-nourishing pumpkin porridge, fragrant, thick, soft, and glutinous, making people appetite-driven.

"Last night, did we meet anyone?" She held a spoon and stirred the porridge in the bowl, asking.

Li Li bit into a small steamed bun and shook her head, "No, why?"

Su Ruoyun felt relieved, put the memory into a dream, and scooped up a spoonful of pumpkin porridge into her mouth, "Nothing, just that I had a dream last night."

Li Li followed up, asking curiously: "What dream?"

"I seem to have dreamed of a good person coming to buy tea leaves, giving me a lot of money, but he was inexplicably angry, refused to buy tea leaves, and I had to coax him..."

The words were true, just that the name was hidden.

After listening, Li Li evaluated her: "You are crazy about money."

"……Why isn't it crazy about men?" Su Ruoyun raised her eyebrows, and asked back calmly.

"If you want to be a love brain, then I have nothing to say."

Another love brain at the dinner table spoke: "I also had a dream last night, dreaming of Ye Shi'an pulling a woman to show off in front of me. You say he broke up with me, is it because he is keeping a woman outside?"

Su Ruoyun threw the tissue into the trash can, "Why don't you say, he is about to die, doesn't want to drag you down, so he wants to break up with you?"

Hearing this, Li Li couldn't suppress her laughter, laughing out loud.

Because the hangover was too uncomfortable, Su Ruoyun didn't go to the tea house, didn't move, accompanied He Jingrong, stayed in Li Li's apartment for a whole day, and didn't go home until 5:00 PM.

At the same time, on the other side, "One River Tobacco" tea house.

"Not here again?"

Xiao Hu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Today, the Boss Lady didn't come to the tea house. If Mr. Huo has anything urgent, should I help you make a phone call to the Boss Lady?"

Yesterday afternoon, after Huo Jingcheng left, she sent a WeChat message to Su Ruoyun to inform her. Su Ruoyun's reply was 【I know】, and nothing more.

"No need, then I'll come again tomorrow."

Xiao Hu looked at Huo Jingcheng's decisive departing back in a daze, feeling a bit wrong in her heart, so she had to send a message to Su Ruoyun again.

【Boss Lady, Mr. Huo came to the tea house to find you again.】

Su Ruoyun replied very quickly: 【Have you asked him what he is looking for me for?】

Xiao Hu: 【Asked yesterday, he didn't say. Today I said you weren't here, and he left quickly.】

Su Ruoyun: 【Then wait until I go tomorrow to talk about it.】

Xiao Hu: 【Okay.】

When the conversation ended, Su Ruoyun was eating dinner in the apartment. She thought about it and didn't know what Huo Jingcheng was looking for her for. Could it be that he wanted to refund the membership fee? It shouldn't be that much, right.

At this time, she had completely forgotten the suit jacket left in the lounge.

Su Ruoyun, who couldn't figure it out, simply didn't think about it and focused on eating dinner.

The next day, Su Ruoyun went out to the tea house.

Xiao Hu was organizing the shelves. Seeing Su Ruoyun, she gossiped a little.

Su Ruoyun tidied her long hair, heard her question, and shook her head, "I don't know why he wants to come either."

At 5:35 PM, she got the answer from Huo Jingcheng's mouth.

Seeing Su Ruoyun was confused, Huo Jingcheng reminded her unhurriedly: "Clothes."

Su Ruoyun heard these two words as if she had been acupunctured, and was stunned on the spot. She swallowed her saliva calmly, a little flustered, "Clothes..."

Huo Jingcheng watched her with great interest, and also had his own guesses. The clothes should have been forgotten by her to the ends of the earth.

She was quick-witted, "Clothes... clothes, the dry cleaner hasn't sent them over yet. Or you can leave me an address, and I'll have them sent by same-city express, or you can leave me a contact method?"

"WeChat or phone number?"

"WeChat." Su Ruoyun took out her phone, "I'll scan you."

"Okay."

After adding as a friend successfully, Su Ruoyun stared at the line of words in the chat box 【I have passed your friend verification request, now we can start chatting】, feeling a bit strange in her heart. How... did she give out her contact information so quickly?

Although strange, it was quickly covered up. Su Ruoyun pressed her phone to a black screen, raised a smile, and didn't forget to recommend tea leaves to the big financier, "By the way, our tea house received a new batch of tea leaves two days ago, does Mr. Huo want to take a look?"

Her hopeful gaze fell on the man's face.

Huo Jingcheng swept over her smiling face and spoke slowly: "Next time, wait until I come to pick up the suit next time, then look at the new tea leaves."

The customer is God, whatever he/she says is what it is.

Su Ruoyun didn't feel disappointed that she couldn't promote it successfully, still smiling, and spat out one word, "Okay".

Watching Huo Jingcheng's back walk out of the tea house, she sat back on the chair, talking to herself: "Just for a piece of clothing, he came to the tea house for three consecutive days. Does a young master like him lack this piece of clothing?"
