Ruby was touched by Liu Xu's sincerity. She dusted herself off and glared at him: "Don't joke with me like this again, understand?"

"Got it, got it, Sister Ruby." Liu Xu nodded repeatedly, "Then let's continue drinking and chatting, just pretend nothing happened."

"Wow, I just realized that you, Axu, are a scumbag! I will never talk to you again."

After Ruby finished her sentence in a pretentious manner, the corners of her mouth could not help but rise, obviously she was joking. Seeing this, Liu Xu felt relieved, because he knew that Ruby was not really angry.

"Hey, Sister Ruby, stop joking. I, Liu Xu, am a well-known loyal and good man. How could I be a scumbag?"

Liu Xu explained with a smile as he walked over to Ruby and tried to hold her hand, but Ruby gently dodged him.

"Hmph, you were trying to take advantage of me just now, and now you say you're a loyal and good man. I don't believe it!" Ruby glared at Liu Xu, but her face was full of smiles.

Liu Xu shook his head helplessly, he knew Ruby was teasing him.

So, he changed the topic and tried to divert Ruby's attention: "Sister Ruby, look at how round the moon is tonight. Doesn't it look like the glass of wine we just drank, round and beautiful?"

Ruby looked up at the moon outside the window with a gentle smile on her face: "Yes, the moon is really beautiful tonight. However, I like our friendship more than the moon.

"A Xu, you know what? In this complicated circle, I am really happy to meet a friend like you."

To be honest, Liu Xu was a little confused because this was his second meeting with Ruby. But he did not spoil the fun, but continued to drink with Ruby and listen to her talk.

It was not until one o'clock in the morning that he saw that Ruby was a little drunk and offered to take her home.

She smiled slightly, felt her own condition, and nodded. "Okay, thank you for your help, Axu." There was a hint of tenderness and trust in her voice.

Liu Xu carefully helped Ruby up. Although her steps were a little unsteady, she leaned on Liu Xu's shoulder, which made her a little distracted and she quickly glanced away.

The night breeze blew gently as the car drove through the quiet streets towards Ruby's residence.

On the way, Ruby occasionally murmured a few words, revealing her feelings about the interpersonal relationships in the nightclub and a faint worry about the uncertainty of the future.

Liu Xu listened patiently and occasionally whispered comfort. His voice seemed particularly calm and warm at night, as if it could dispel all worries.

Arriving at Ruby's house, Liu Xu woke up Ruby who was almost asleep.

But she was obviously drunk, and although she was conscious, she walked unsteadily. Helplessly, Liu Xu picked her up, took out the key from his pocket, and carefully helped her open the door.

The room was simple and cozy, with a faint floral scent. He placed Ruby on the sofa and was about to go to the kitchen to get her a glass of water to sober her up, but Ruby grabbed his sleeve.

"A Xu, thank you for sending me home tonight. Actually, today is my birthday, but... no one remembered." There was a barely perceptible hint of loneliness in Ruby's voice.

"When I was nine years old, my mother, the one who always looked at me with warm eyes and wrapped me with endless love, died of a long-term illness and left me forever."

"Her departure was like the last fallen leaf in autumn, taking away the warmth and color of home, and making my world gray and lonely from then on."

"As time went by, I was already eighteen years old. It was the prime of my youth, an age that should have been full of dreams and hopes, but it was overshadowed by my father's depravity."

"My father, who was once as solid a support as a mountain in my heart, has been addicted to gambling since I don't know when."

"Not only did we exhaust our family savings, but we also had to bear a heavy gambling debt. It seemed as if overnight, our warm little home was swallowed up by endless debt."

"What's even more terrifying is that when I was 18, my father actually came up with the idea of ​​selling me to the casino owner to repay his gambling debts that he couldn't repay."

"This news was like a bolt from the blue. I was shocked and desperate. I couldn't imagine that I would become a tool for my father to pay off his debts and a victim of his gambling failure."

"During that period, I experienced the darkest moment of my life. I was tormented by fear and helplessness every day. Fortunately, I am a barren woman, otherwise I can't imagine what I would have encountered."

Ruby's experience gave Liu Xu a sense of déjà vu: a gambling father, a sick mother, a young brother, and a sensible girl.

Liu Xu stopped going to pour water, bent down and held Ruby in his arms.

The embrace was warm and solid, and he patted Ruby's back gently, as if he was comforting a wounded child.

"Sister Ruby, don't be sad anymore. That's all in the past. Look how strong and outstanding you are now. This is all the result of your own hard work."

"A Xu, thank you. Really, ever since my best friend passed away in a car accident, no one has been willing to listen to my story."

"In this cold world, you made me feel the warmth I have long missed." Ruby's voice was a little choked, but more of it was relief.

Liu Xu stroked her hair lovingly and said gently, "Sister Ruby, I will be your support from now on. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will always be by your side."

"I can't participate in your past, but I am willing to accompany you in your future."

Ruby raised her head, tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Axu. It's great to meet you!"

Liu Xu met the gaze of the woman in his arms and keenly noticed that the atmosphere between the two of them seemed a little wrong at the moment, especially the way Ruby looked at him, which was a little bit disturbing.

He tentatively moved his head closer, and when both of them could feel each other's breath, he saw that Ruby not only did not object, but closed her eyes, looking as if she was ready to be doomed.

Liu Xu was a bit frustrated, and he cried out in his heart: "You barren woman, aren't you the one who is suffering?"

However, the other party has already given him a chance. If he retreats, wouldn't he be worse than a beast? He made up his mind and decided to use his mouth.

With a clear idea, Liu Xu pressed on directly... Then he heard a creaking sound coming from the sofa. (30,000 words omitted here)

The next day, just as the clouds in the sky turned a little pale, Liu Xu slowly woke up from his deep sleep.

Looking at the woman who was still sleeping beside him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he stood up to prepare a hearty breakfast to reward Ruby.

He didn't realize that Ruby was a false barren woman, and had been cured through medical means. Except for the inability to conceive, all other functions were fine.

Whether you are driving with the headlights on or simply driving, it is achievable.

This war was a fight between a hot-blooded young man and a beautiful woman in her twenties. Overall, it was extremely fierce and took an hour to end.

This is not only a war, but also a spiritual dusting.
