Early the next morning.

After settling Junxian in last night, Xu Xiaoxin returned to her room, and she finally understood why Junxian had come to her place in the middle of the night.

Junxian broke off his engagement with the Xiao family, and the Jun family kicked him out.

Knowing the whole story, Xu Xiaoxin couldn't sleep a wink all night.

She gradually drifted off to sleep as dawn was breaking.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already 10:30.

Recalling what happened last night, Xu Xiaoxin was jolted awake and quickly jumped out of bed, all sleepiness gone.

I almost forgot, there's also a large Buddha statue in the room!

Upon opening the door, the person on the sofa had clearly disappeared.

Just as I was wondering about this, a fragrance suddenly wafted to my nose.

I tentatively walked towards the kitchen and sure enough, I saw a man wearing an apron busy in the kitchen.

The kitchen was very small, and even she usually felt cramped inside. But Junxian was oblivious. It was hard to imagine that a young master like him would cook in such a dirty and cramped place.

Perhaps sensing something, Junxian suddenly turned around and immediately saw a woman in pink pajamas appear behind him.

Jun Xian's forehead was still wrapped in gauze, but that did not affect his handsomeness in the slightest.

The man had deep eyes, a gentle tone, and a faint smile that was undeniably alluring.

"You believed it? Are you hungry? We can eat in a little while. Go wash up."

Xu Xiaoxin stood at the door, reaching out to grip the door frame; "Junxian, your injury hasn't healed yet, come out first, I'll do it later."

Junxian was stirring something in the pan with a spatula, looking quite professional. Hearing this, he replied without even turning his head.

"No need. You took me in for the night, so I'll cook you a meal as a way of repaying you."

Having said all that, Xu Xiaoxin didn't know what else to say. After hesitating for a long time, she turned and left.

When she finished getting ready and came out, the food was already laid out on the table.

"sit."

Junxian pulled out a chair for Xu Xiaoxin to sit down before sitting down opposite her.

I glanced at the food on the table; three dishes and a soup, it looked pretty good.

Junxian personally ladled a bowl of soup for her; "Try it and see how it tastes."

Xu Xiaoxin pursed her lips, picked up the spoon, and tentatively put it in her mouth.

Surprisingly, the taste was actually quite good.

"You can cook?"

Jun Xian noticed the surprise on Xu Xiaoxin's face, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes; "The taste is alright, isn't it?"

Seeing the woman nod, the man's smile widened, and then he began to explain.

“When I was eight years old, my father sent me to the army to train with my two uncles for a while.”

Eight years old?

Xu Xiaoxin's eyes were filled with astonishment.

An eight-year-old boy joining the army? I've never heard of that before. Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoxin immediately spoke up.

“What was your father thinking? He sent you to the army when you were only eight years old. You were just a child then. What kind of training could you get in the army?”

Junxian smiled and said, "I'll just do whatever my uncles do."

His tone was incredibly relaxed, but Xu Xiaoxin inexplicably felt a pang of sadness. Although she was an orphan, her childhood was fortunately quite good; the director and the other children in the orphanage treated her very well.

Jun Xian was probably burdened with the identity of the heir of the Jun family from a young age. No one cared about his thoughts, and no one asked him if he liked it or not.

What are your plans for the future?

Upon hearing this, Junxian paused slightly as he was serving food to Xu Xiaoxin, a smile playing on his lips.

"What, are you worried about me?"

Feeling a little guilty under his gaze, Xu Xiaoxin subconsciously turned her head to the side to avoid his eyes.

"I... I was just asking casually. You can't stay here with me forever."

Upon hearing this, Jun Xian raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of wickedness appearing on his handsome face.

"If you want me to stay, I can stay. There will be someone to do your laundry and cook for you. I won't charge you. You just need to take care of my three meals a day. After a while, I can even warm your bed for you."

I thought Xu Xiaoxin would explode when she heard this, but she didn't.

She picked up a piece of green vegetable with her chopsticks, ate it with the snow-white rice, and slowly began to speak.

"If you really want to stay here, you wouldn't be called Junxian."

Jun Xian was taken aback, then asked, "What if?"

Xu Xiaoxin put down her chopsticks and bowl, then looked up at him with a deep gaze.

For some reason, Jun Xian felt inexplicably flustered by that look.

After a long pause, Xu Xiaoxin spoke again: "There's no 'what if'."

Simplicity is just four words, but it conveys a sense of determination.

Jun Xian wants to get rid of the Jun family and the Xiao family, but is it so easy?

Staying with her won't change anything.

It can't change his relationship with his family, it can't change her relationship with him, it can't change anything.

Jun Xian merely chuckled upon hearing this.

Neither of them spoke, and the meal was finished quietly.

Junxian's coat was washed and dried by Xu Xiaoxin last night. After changing into the clean coat, he transformed back into that elegant and refined young nobleman.

Before leaving, Junxian said something to Xu Xiaoxin.

"Wait for me, I'll be back to find you soon."

Xu Xiaoxin stared at him for a long time before finally nodding. "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Upon hearing this, the man was filled with energy, and the joy in his eyes was self-evident.
