Su Binglan always did what she said. Thoughts about a cafeteria filled her mind, and she immediately wanted to tell Mr. Kong about it.
Seeing that Su Binglan was about to leave, Luo Jin’an reached out and grabbed her wrist. Due to inertia, Su Binglan fell uncontrollably into Luo Jin’an’s arms.
Her nose touched Luo Jin’an’s chest, and she felt a lump in her throat. She felt his hard chest.
“It hurts.” Su Binglan felt a little aggrieved as she scrunched up her nose. Her eyes started to tear up because of her physiological reaction, and she looked rather pitiful.
She raised her head to look at her husband, and their beautiful eyes met. Her heart skipped a beat. Then Luo Jin’an lowered his head and noticed the tears in his wife’s eyes.
His heart clenched as he said, “That was my fault. I used too much force.” With that, he gently wiped the tears from Su Binglan’s eyes.
Su Binglan felt a sweetness in her heart when she looked into Luo Jin’an’s pained eyes. She was not delicate, but her eyes would tear up out of reflex because she had just hurt her nose.
Her eyes cunningly flashed as she said, “So, how do you think you’ll make it up to me?
Luo Jin’an looked at her and smiled helplessly. He gently tapped her nose, saying, “Naughty,” His voice was gentle, “Tell me, how do you want to make it up to me?
Su Binglan blinked, “I can compensate you however I want?”
“Yes.” Luo Jin’an looked like he was indulging his wife.
Su Binglan thought about it but did not know what she wanted her husband to do or what he should compensate for. Still, she did not want to make things difficult for Luo Jin’an because he had experienced too much and bore severe injuries in the past.
“I’ll have to think about it carefully.” After some thought, she said, “I’ll ask you a question, and you have to tell me the truth. You can’t lie.
“All right.” Luo Jin’an nodded.
“How do you know I’m not the original Su Binglan?” Su Binglan asked. “When did you find out?”
Even Luo Jin’an was surprised. He did not expect her to ask this question.
“Madam, there are two questions here. Which one do you want me to answer?
Su Binglan held Luo Jin’an’s hand and said, “I don’t care. It’s a question, and you have to answer it.”
She did not even realize she was a different person in front of Luo Jin’an. She could act coquettishly and be willful. It was as if she was a pampered girl that could say anything she wanted.
Luo Jin’an sighed helplessly and said, “I’ll answer your question if you want. When you regained consciousness after falling into the water, I knew you weren’t the Su Binglan from before
“As for how I know, one of the reasons is because of Lan Ruobing’s dream. The other is that I could sense you were a different person.”
Su Binglan’s expression changed when she heard that. “What dream? Lan Ruobings dream?
After all, she knew Lan Ruobing was Princess Lan.
Luo Jin’an looked down at his wife and slowly said, “Yes, she has a unique ability. She can dream of certain things which happen later on. Whenever she has these dreams, her body will weaken.
“She doesn’t dream of many things, but she used that ability to save many people, including me?’ Although he was talking about Lan Ruobing, he looked at his wife meaningfully.
Su Binglan was silent as she thought, ‘Such an ability exists? I remember now. I’ve seen scenes of Lan Ruobing in my dreams.’
In Su Binglan’s dream, Lan Ruobing had dreamed about the things the Wei family would encounter after they set off for battle. Immediately after, Lan Ruobing went to find Wei Jin’an in the dead of night and gave him a silk bag.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Binglan could not help but ask, “Then what was your relationship with Lan Ruobing?”
Luo Jin’an raised an eyebrow. His eyes seemed drunk as he looked at Su
Binglan. “What do you think?”
Su Binglan’s heart skipped a beat. “Why do you ask me? I don’t even know.” Luo Jin’an did not argue with his wife about this. After all, at times, Su Binglan would say one thing and mean another.
Still, he made things easy for Su Binglan. He ruffled her hair and said, “Didn’t you say you were going to find Mr. Kong to discuss the cafeteria? Lees go.”
“But I brought you food. Aren’t you going to eat?”
“Bring it to Mr. Kong and the others to try,” Luo Jin’an said.
“All right,” Su Binglan replied.
Meanwhile, in Mr. Kong’s study, Su Binglan told him about the cafeteria. She thought he would be surprised, but he was not.
After some time, Mr. Kong said, “Princess Lan also said that the shed is suitable for a cafeteria, but she only mentioned it once. I didn’t know what to do with the cafeteria when she passed away, so I didn’t think much of it.
“However, I never expected you to mention it, Miss Su. It’s an excellent idea, so I’ll leave it up to you.”
Su Binglan touched her forehead. ‘It seems I was indeed Lan Ruobing.’
Images relating to Lan Ruobing would flash in her mind whenever she went to Blue Mountain Academy. She thought they were probably memories from another wisp of her soul.
It was not as if there had not been such a situation in her past life. That was why Su Binglan had grown accustomed to and could accept it.
“Since you put it that way, I’ll start working on it right away,” Su Binglan said, “Firstly, we need to renovate this place. There must be a kitchen inside and some tables and chairs outside for the students to have their meals.”
It was much easier to set up a cafeteria for the academy. They only needed a few people to be responsible for buying ingredients and a few others for cooking.
However, the people of this era generally did not know how to make good food. If Su Binglan arranged for someone to cook here, she would need to teach them how to make simple yet delicious food.
She would feel uncomfortable hiring someone unfamiliar, mainly because it concerned the academy. After all, the person would be here to cook for the students.
Moreover, there must be no issues whether the food’s quality, price, or taste. Only then could the students eat well.
After some thought, Su Binglan said to Luo Jin’an, “We should let Luo Kang, Qiu He, and Luo Juan handle the cooking.”
“Didn’t you want to train Luo Juan and make her your manager?” Luo Jin’an asked. Although he typically did not talk much, he remembered everything Su Binglan said. He also knew about her arrangements.
“It’s fine. Luo Juan can learn things in the academy’s cafeteria.”
Su Binglan prepared to return to the village after leaving the academy. She saw a group of workers building houses when she passed by the land she bought. She knew it was Su Xueye’s construction team, and they were building the embroidery shop..
