Chu Junbai's eyes were extremely sore. He knew what was wrong without even looking.

He sighed helplessly and dragged his tired body out of bed.

Moonlight streamed through the window and fell onto the floor. In the dim light, Chu Junbai saw Mu Xiaowan lying on the floor, her brows furrowed, muttering in her sleep, her body trembling, curled up like a caterpillar.

How can someone who's frozen like this still not wake up?

In the past, people would seek warmth from him when they were cold, but he was always prepared and no one came.

Unexpectedly, he fell down without him holding him.

Asleep, Mu Xiaowan resembled a child who had no one to care for her, her usual sharpness gone.

Chu Junbai gently picked up Mu Xiaowan, supporting her body steadily with his arms, afraid of waking her.

He placed Mu Xiaowan on the bed, and as soon as he lay down, Mu Xiaowan rolled over and hugged him tightly.

Chu Junbai's body stiffened, and his heart began to beat faster and faster uncontrollably.

He turned his head to look, and just then Mu Xiaowan rolled her head restlessly, and their lips touched.

Chu Junbai felt a jolt of electricity coursing through his body, as if his blood was boiling. He closed his eyes, savoring the sudden kiss, his heart pounding in his ears.

Mu Xiaowan opened her eyes groggily and found herself kissing Chu Junbai. She instantly woke up, her face flushed, and she quickly pulled her hands away from Chu Junbai, creating some distance between them.

Unexpectedly, Chu Junbai suddenly grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

The frosty moonlight shone on his face, and Mu Xiaowan could clearly see the urgency and longing in his eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly, Chu Junbai kissed Mu Xiaowan's lips domineeringly, with an irresistible force.

His lips pressed heavily against hers, sucking urgently as if he wanted to meld Mu Xiaowan into his very bones.

At the same time, Chu Junbai's strong hands gripped the back of Mu Xiaowan's head tightly, giving her no chance to escape, while his tongue forcefully probed in, stealing her breath.

Mu Xiaowan was dazed at first, then subconsciously pushed the man away, but couldn't. She thought that if food was offered to her, she might as well take it, especially such a high-quality man, so she "reluctantly" accepted him!

Just as she was about to respond, Chu Junbai bit her lower lip hard, as if punishing her for being distracted.

Damn it, just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm some kind of saint!

Mu Xiaowan wanted to flip over and pin Chu Junbai down, but Chu Junbai held her back tightly.

Mu Xiaowan had no idea that Chu Junbai thought she was trying to escape. In the dark of night, amidst his confused and passionate state, Chu Junbai was not about to let her go.

Mu Xiaowan had no choice but to focus her efforts on the kiss.

But before she could even show off her kissing skills, Chu Junbai suddenly withdrew.

She stared at Chu Junbai in astonishment.

Chu Junbai took a deep breath, forced her eyes closed, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Sleep!"

Mu Xiaowan: "?"

That's it?

Damn it, what's the difference between this and slamming on the brakes on the highway and killing someone?

Chu Junbai did not let go of Mu Xiaowan, but held her tightly.

Mu Xiaowan was bewildered by his teasing. She was no longer sleepy and felt hot all over. She wanted Chu Junbai to get closer and take it a step further, but then she heard Chu Junbai say such things.

Although she didn't develop any feelings for Chu Junbai, it didn't mean she couldn't have needs. Every normal person has physical needs, especially since they were suddenly aroused today.

But if she takes the initiative, won't Chu Junbai think she's too promiscuous?

When she came to her senses, she didn't hear Chu Junbai speak anymore. She raised an eyebrow. Had he fallen asleep already?

What did you mean just now?

Is it possible that the body controls the brain?

What he didn't originally want was the desire of his own body.

Just like her now, because the man beside her is so outstanding, she had wicked thoughts.

Forget it, these things are all about mutual consent. Since the person involved is asleep, let her sleep too!

Mu Xiaowan closed her eyes and fell asleep; she wasn't as lonely as she had imagined.

The intense kiss she had just experienced left her wondering, even the next day, if it had all been a dream.

After Mu Xiaowan fell asleep, Chu Junbai withdrew his hand and quickly left the bedroom.

The sound of running water was constant in the bathroom.

Mu Xiaowan was woken up by her sense of responsibility shortly after falling asleep.

She glanced at the time; it was a little past seven. She needed to hurry up, wash up, and head to the shop.

Chu Junbai opened his eyes upon hearing the noise.

Are you going to the shop now?

"Yes, we need to move the goods out for setup. The bosses have probably already sent the goods over, or they'll get lost if we don't go soon."

"You go to sleep, and come help when you wake up."

The two chatted casually without any awkwardness, as if they both regarded last night's events as a dream, and neither of them mentioned it.

Chu Junbai threw off the covers and sat up.

Seeing this, Mu Xiaowan didn't say anything more.

As an investor, it's only right that he helps.

Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law was also up. She and Zhang Ma had already prepared breakfast.

Mu Xiaowan was somewhat touched.

"Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Aunt Zhang. You've worked so hard."

Jiang Yinglan said, "Why are you being so polite with us, family? After you finish eating, you can go ahead first, and I'll come over later."

"Mom, just let Xiaohui go. There might not be that many people today."

As the eldest daughter of a scholarly family, my mother-in-law has always disliked businessmen. Let alone a small vendor like me, even successful businessmen might not be worthy of her attention. Helping out in her shop would require a lot of mental preparation; to her, it would be demeaning. That's enough; helping out in the shop is out of the question.

"I had nothing to do, so I went to see if there was anything I needed at home."

"Xiao Hui hasn't gotten up yet. I'll go wake her up and we'll go together."

"Mom, no need. Just let Xiaohui go over later. There's no one here now."

Jiang Yinglan has already gone upstairs.

Chu Junbai handed the peeled egg to Mu Xiaowan.

Mu Xiaowan glanced at him. This person seemed to treat her differently, as if he were more considerate.

Mu Xiaowan took it, and saw that Chu Junbai had ladled out rice porridge for her again.

He wouldn't have done this before.

Seeing his calm demeanor just now, she even thought last night was just a dream, but it seems it really happened.

Noticing Mu Xiaowan's gaze, Chu Junbai looked up at her.

At this moment, Mu Xiaowan looked away.

Chu Junbai also withdrew his gaze, unaware that when his eyes met Mu Xiaowan's, his heartbeat became somewhat abnormal, just like when they kissed last night, and it even aroused a certain impulse in him.

This is very wrong.

Just like the last time his second aunt drugged him.

This situation has been going on for more than just a day or two.

After yesterday's training exercise, he didn't even have time to go back to the dormitory to change his clothes before rushing back.

He didn't know why he was in such a hurry.

The moment he saw Mu Xiaowan, he suddenly felt at ease.

The day after Ye Jincheng brought Mu Xiaowan back from the police station, he told him that among the people arrested at the dance hall, there was a woman who knew him and asked him to bail her out on the condition that he tell him something.

Chu Junbai went to see that woman.

The woman said she had once received a job; someone paid her to seduce a man at a guesthouse called Fulaishun. She had seen a picture of that man.

The man in the photo is Chu Junbai.

The woman clearly stated the time and place.

It was the day Chu Junbai met Mu Xiaowan.
