Inside a car wash.

The boss was rinsing the car in front of him with a hose; it could no longer be called a 'car,' but rather... a dump truck.

When it was first delivered to the store, looking at the thing that was almost completely covered in mud, he could hardly believe it was a vehicle.

Did you just come back from Syria?

Having worked in the car wash industry for decades, this was the first time he had ever seen a car so muddy, covered in mud from head to toe.

After being rinsed with water, the car's true appearance was revealed.

The car wash owner immediately recognized the vehicle as a Cadillac, an extremely expensive car that ordinary people couldn't afford.

And so this luxury car was scrapped. After being cleaned, it was ready to be sent to the junkyard.

The boss felt a deep sense of regret.

While washing the car, his gaze fell on the customer next to him.

With his extensive experience, he could tell at a glance that the three people in front of him were all wealthy and powerful. Even a car worth millions was not something they would put in their sights. In particular, the man even had a faint smile on his face, as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

The laundry shop owner couldn't understand what Chu Fang was thinking at that moment, which was... ...finally, this woman had a certain feeling for the car, and her mood improved accordingly, no longer as crazy and obsessed as before.

Thank goodness, and he seemed to see himself escaping the abyss.

This situation naturally makes me very happy.

What's one car? He'd give up ten cars.

Compared to Zhong Tingyue's emotions, money is of little importance.

However... Chu Fang composed himself, looked at Zhong Tingyue, and said, "Zhong Tingyue, you've ruined my beloved car, what are you going to do?"

"I'll compensate you."

"Pay me back?"

"right."

Chu Fang straightened up: "Alright, you'll stay with me for one night."

“... ..."

Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, her clear eyes filled with disdain: "I'll pay you back when I have money."

"Is this just empty promises?"

"You told me to drive however I wanted."

"I told you to drive however you wanted, and you drove however you wanted? I told you to sleep with me, and you slept with me? I've never seen you as such an obedient person before," Chu Fang glanced at his younger sister Zhong Rou and lowered his voice.

... ...

Night falls, the bright moon hangs high, and countless stars twinkle, like a Milky Way suspended in the sky.

Zhuangzi of the Central Plains.

Gao Ruoyun was on the phone with her youngest daughter, inquiring about her life and studies in Shanghai. Upon learning that her daughter was doing well, she was immediately relieved, gave her a few simple words of advice, and then hung up the phone.

The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Their decision was right. Their little girl would have a wider world to explore in Shanghai, and her future would be brighter.

"We have to thank Xiao Chu for this," Gao Ruoyun said.

Zhong Ping nodded in agreement: "The people of Xiao Chu are indeed very good."

From any perspective, Chu Fang's performance was almost perfect and impeccable.

Gao Ruoyun frowned, recalling her little daughter's account of what had happened that day: "It's just... too rich."

"Isn't it good to be rich?" Zhong Ping massaged his wife's shoulders. "Don't you love money the most? You wish gold would fall from the sky."

"I like money, so I naturally understand its power," Gao Ruoyun said. "I hope they can always be as sweet as they are now."

"I think so. Don't you have any faith in Xiao Chu?"

Gao Ruoyun fell into deep thought, and finally nodded: "I believe him."

... ...

Shanghai.

Chu Fang lay in bed, chatting with his mother, who inquired about his recent situation with Zhong Tingyue, and he answered her questions one by one.

Chu's mother is currently experiencing a boring moment in her life and is urging him to hurry up and get married so that she can have a few babies to pass the time.

After comforting my mother for a few moments, we ended the call. Gazing at the bright moon outside, I felt drowsy, my eyes blinking intermittently.

Just as he was about to drift off to sleep, he suddenly felt the bedroom door open, and then he felt a soft body slip into his bed.

He immediately perked up.

Even with his eyes closed, he could tell who had crawled into his bed.

Chu Fang held Zhong Tingyue in his arms, and she held his waist in return. The two embraced each other without saying a word. The room was quiet, and they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats even though they were so close.

Both of them had heart rates above the normal average, and were clearly extremely tense, to the point that they were completely still.

As time passed, their heart rates gradually returned to normal.

Chu Fang asked calmly, "What do you want to do?"

A clear voice echoed in the room: "You wanted me to stay with you, right? Here I am."

"Sleep with me."

Her clear voice was filled with a mischievous tone: "It's not just about sleeping."

Chu Fang thought for a moment: "What are you planning to do at night instead of sleeping? Stealing, huh? I never thought you, Zhong Tingyue, were that kind of person."

He's a respectable young man; he wouldn't dare do anything illegal or disorderly.

Zhong Tingyue tilted her head: "Then I'll leave?"

"Leave? No way, you're not leaving now that you're here." Chu Fang said righteously, "You delivered yourself to my doorstep today, so I'm going to uphold justice."

After saying that, Chu Fang rolled over and pressed himself directly under Zhong Tingyue. By the bright moonlight outside, he saw his beloved woman. Her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her eyes were like stars, her gaze was as deep as the sea, and her lips were as red and tempting as cherries.

Zhong Tingyue's face is full of the gentleness of an Eastern woman, with her beautifully smooth cheeks and delicate, flawless complexion, all of which are perfect interpretations of traditional beauty.

Zhong Tingyue was very bold; she raised her head and kissed him.

“You are committing a crime,” Chu Fang said seriously.

"A crime?" Zhong Tingyue wrapped her arms around Chu Fang's neck, immobilizing him. "Let me share some little-known facts with you: there is no crime of female molestation of males in our country, so you can't be convicted for it."

“... ..."

There is an imbalance between men and women.

Forget it, Chu Fang had no time to dwell on whether the law was fair or not.

At this moment, his upper body had lost its former wisdom and intelligence, and he had almost forgotten what one plus one equals.
