Looking at the little panties inside the small basket, Qin Fang could imagine that Xiao Muxue must be bare underneath right now. As a young man in the throes of adolescence, Qin Fang couldn't suppress the wicked thought that rose in his heart.

The cold water showered over Qin Fang's body, as if he sought to extinguish the desire within him with this chill, although the effect was minimal. Every time he thought of Xiao Muxue's graceful body and the two points protruding from her chest, he felt evil thoughts sprout uncontrollably in his heart, unable to be dispelled.

In his mind, it seemed as though two little people were wrestling, one named Justice and the other named Evil.

The evil one kept tempting Qin Fang to have his way with Xiao Muxue, while the just one constantly reminded him not to take advantage of others in their time of weakness.

This mental tug-of-war made it impossible for Qin Fang to make a decision.

As time ticked by, in the end, reason triumphed over desire. Qin Fang knew that even if he harbored the thought, he definitely lacked the courage to act on it; otherwise, wouldn't he be no different from Mouse Qiang and his ilk?

When Qin Fang returned to the small room, it was half an hour later. In order to suppress the turmoil in his heart, he, a grown man, took a shower for half an hour.

By then, Xiao Muxue was completely wrapped in the thin blanket, her alluring figure fully concealed. Qin Fang could see nothing, and his oversized T-shirt was nowhere to be seen beside them - evidently, Xiao Muxue was still wearing it. And she lay with her back to Qin Fang, seemingly asleep, unaware of his return.

"This is probably for the best…"

Qin Fang steadied his heart and carefully placed his things, then turned off the light and laid down on the prepared bedding.

Outside, the night sky was dazzling with stars, and the bright moon had already passed its zenith, yet from this angle, it shone through the small window into the room, allowing Qin Fang to appreciate such a moonscape.

Next to him on the bed lay a young and beautiful girl. An experience like this was something Qin Fang had never encountered in his eighteen years of life; his mood was quite complex. As he gazed at the night sky outside the window, a thousand sorrows suddenly overwhelmed him.

Clearly, he could not sleep!

The day's events were too sudden, too bizarre. Even though Qin Fang had braced himself mentally, it was still a bit too much to take in all at once, and he could only process everything bit by bit.

And the arrival of Xiao Muxue also caught Qin Fang off guard. He had counted on one hand the number of times he interacted with girls. His relationship with Tang Feifei was slightly better, and now they had started a ramen stall together. But the reserved and silent Xiao Muxue and lively, adorable Tang Feifei were two girls with completely different personalities, yet both left an extremely deep impression on Qin Fang.

This night was destined to be sleepless!

Not just for Qin Fang himself, but also for Xiao Muxue, turned toward the wall. How could she possibly sleep?

She was just an ordinary girl, living with relatives, yet she'd never expected everything to change tonight. Her cousin, her sole reliance in this city, knew she was about to be violated by three hooligans but fled without hesitation, never once coming to her rescue.

From that moment, Xiao Muxue decided to leave that place of sorrow. As for her cousin, who was not particularly close to begin with, she no longer held any attachment.

Asking Qin Fang to take her back with him was a risky move, but she took the chance anyway. Despite knowing he might not be a match for the three hooligans, Qin Fang had still stepped forward to save her. That alone proved Qin Fang's character to her.

She was just an ordinary girl, who once had dreams of a Prince Charming coming to her rescue on a cloud of five colors.

Although Qin Fang may have fallen short by comparison, his pose as he held a brick and rushed to her aid without a thought for his own safety had left an indelible mark on Xiao Muxue, one she believed she would never forget for the rest of her life.

"Qin Fang, are you asleep?"

After a long time, Xiao Muxue still couldn't fall asleep. She gently turned over and, in the glow of the moonlight, saw Qin Fang was also tossing and turning, and she couldn't help but whisper her question.

"Not yet…"

Qin Fang hesitated for a moment before replying.

"Me neither... Can we talk?" Xiao Muxue asked tentatively.

"Sure, what about?"

"Let's talk about you. I think you're quite impressive, able to take on three guys by yourself, and you can even make ramen..." Xiao Muxue said with a smile.

"I was forced into it, my family is really poor, and I didn't want my mom to have to work so hard, so I came to Ninghai to find work. Who would have known..." Qin Fang quickly explained the situation with him and Li Feng, "Fortunately, every cloud has a silver lining. At least I have this skill. Selling ramen at my stall is tiring, but life feels fulfilling!"

"I'm really envious of you!"

Xiao Muxue chuckled, and although the room was a bit dark, Qin Fang could still imagine the expression on her face, "By the way, your injury..."

Xiao Muxue just then remembered that Qin Fang had been stabbed in the waist and hadn't gone to the hospital to get it treated, which was very dangerous. If not treated in time, there could be lasting consequences.

"It's nothing serious, my body is different from others! As long as the stabbing doesn't kill me, even heavy injuries can heal slowly, don't worry..."

Qin Fang laughed as he said this. The wound on his waist was still there, but he no longer felt any pain from it, and the bleeding had stopped a while ago. Now, the wound was slowly healing. Maybe when he woke up the next morning, there wouldn't even be a scar left.

"I'm sorry, I got you involved!"

Xiao Muxue's voice was very low, and her mood seemed a bit down too. Qin Fang guessed she was thinking again of Chen Pangzi, who had refused to help them when it mattered most.

"Don't overthink it. Who hasn't come across difficulties? Things will get better..."

"Thank you!"

"What's there to thank me for? Let's talk about you. You seem to be from out of town…" Qin Fang said cheerfully.

"You're really observant. I'm from Xuzhou. Just like you, I got into Ninghai University this year. I only have my grandma and granddad at home. They moved into a nursing home on their own accord to let me study in peace. So, I had no choice but to come to Ninghai earlier. I had originally planned to help out at my cousin's stall, but who would have thought..."

Xiao Muxue briefly introduced her situation, which was not much different from Qin Fang's except that he still had his mother while Xiao Muxue's parents had died in a car accident. If it wasn't for the sizable compensation, Xiao Muxue might have had to drop out of school long ago, or worse, might have already been married off.

"Don't think too much, everything will pass..."

Qin Fang said softly. Although Xiao Muxue was gentle and not talkative, her character was extremely open-minded. At least Qin Fang was still bothered by the father he had never met, while Xiao Muxue had long forgotten such pain and devoted herself fully to her own life.

"About what I mentioned earlier, will you agree?"

Xiao Muxue remained silent for a while before asking softly.

"What thing?"

Qin Fang was slightly startled, struggling to remember.

"About me working at your noodle stall. Just provide me with food and lodging, I don't need a salary..." Xiao Muxue hastily insisted, clearly very eager about the matter.

"That's... really inconvenient. My stall is right next to your cousin's!"

Qin Fang said with a pained look on his face, but unfortunately, the room was too dark for Xiao Muxue to see it.

"Don't worry about that, I have nothing to do with him anymore..."

Xiao Muxue might be quiet, but she was decidedly resolute, firmly saying that Chen Pangzi's actions had thoroughly broken her heart, so there was no need for her to be polite anymore!

"Alright... let's give it a try!"

After thinking it over, Qin Fang eventually agreed. He did need the help, and he and Chen Pangzi were already at odds. Since Chen Pangzi had played dirty, there was no reason for Qin Fang to hold back.

Since a battle between the two stalls seemed inevitable, he might as well go all out...

Having Xiao Muxue at his noodle stall might not help much, but just to spite Chen Pangzi would be worth it—not to mention that Xiao Muxue was very pretty, which could definitely be good for business.
