Chapter 1: This is what life is all about

  Tonight, the bar business is not very good. The main customers of Rosemary are students from Su Ying University, and today is the annual school dance party of Su Ying University. Those who come to the bar for consumption are generally in better economic conditions, and those with good economic conditions usually have a partner, so they will show off at the dance party, who still has the interest to come to the bar?

  Not only were there far fewer guests than usual, but also one less bartender.

  Bartender Gao Mingjian has taken leave and returned to his hometown of Qingyang County.

  A few days ago he asked Qin Yan to advance three months' salary, because something happened at home. Yesterday he asked Qin Yan for a three-day leave and said he would go back for a trip.

  Although losing a bartender may have some impact on the bar business, as a boss with human feelings, one should consider things from the employee's perspective.

  "Sir, can I help you with anything?" Seeing a handsome stranger walk into the bar, Zhou Mengmeng quickly came over to ask.

  "I need a beauty, is there one?" Qin Yan thought Zhou Mengmeng was joking with him and deliberately teased her.

  "You..."

  Zhou Mengmeng suddenly felt both ashamed and annoyed. Although this customer was very handsome, he couldn't be so rude: "Our bar is a legitimate business!"

  Ah!

  Qin Yan was taken aback and found that this girl didn't seem to be joking. Only then did he remember that his current self was vastly different from before, and Zhou Mengmeng hadn't recognized him at all.

  Tonight's true colors were shown to help Jiang Xiaoying, he didn't want to continue using his real appearance and didn't explain much to Zhou Mengmeng, and escaped from the bar back to his residence in disarray.

  Three steps in two strides ran up to the second floor, but found Jiang Xiaoyan standing at the door.

  "How did you get here?" Qin Yan was taken aback.

  "Then I'll go." Jiang Xiaoying said with her head down, biting her lip.

  "Ah... I didn't mean it like that, go ahead."

  He knew that girl had misunderstood him. He opened the door and walked in, turned on the light and pointed to the sofa: "Sit down, what do you want to drink? Apple juice? Green tea? Or?"

  "It's all right." Jiang Xiaoying still didn't raise her head.

  "What's wrong with this girl?"

  Qin Yan felt a little puzzled but didn't ask, walking towards the kitchen to get a drink from the fridge. Just as he opened the refrigerator door, he sensed someone slowly approaching.

  Not an enemy, no killing intent, no need to be on guard.

  Suddenly!

  Soft arms wrapped around his waist from behind, and through the thin fabric of the dress, two warm and soft objects stuck to his back.

  Soft jade warm fragrance takes the initiative to throw herself into his arms, as long as it's a man, he can't refuse, right?

  Qin Yan put down the orange juice in his hand, turned around and hugged the lovely person behind him, slightly lowered his head and covered those two soft lips.

  He sucked wildly, as if it was the most delicious thing in the world. One hand wrapped around her slender waist, while the other slipped into the collar of her dress.

  Soft.

  Slide

  Very flexible.

  As they experienced that tactile sensation that drove men crazy, a fierce flame rose from their lower abdomen, and the breathing sounds of both people became heavy.

  Kanako Sakura, who had never experienced this before, couldn't even respond. She was just flustered and endured it, like a flower bud preparing to face a stormy baptism.

  When his hand touched her chest, she felt her whole body stiffen, and even breathing became difficult.

  He's too overbearing!

  So she was pinched and kneaded with great force, making her tender and unexperienced body ache, but more than that, she was afraid - she regretted taking the initiative earlier.

  "Are you going into the room now?"

  Qin Yan's tone made her heart skip a beat, it was a calm and indifferent tone that didn't match the current scene: "After tonight, you won't owe me anything, and our transaction will be over. You get the advertising contract, I get your first time, each getting what they need."

  "Not...you..." Jiang Xiaoyan's face turned pale with shock.

  "Aren't you just doing this to repay me?"

  His hand still grasped the soft warmth of her chest, squeezing even harder, making Jiang Xiaoyan's face pale with pain. Qin Yan's voice was filled with an evil tone: "You don't have the right to cry out in pain, because this is a transaction. You got what you wanted, so it's only natural to pay with your body."

  Staring foolishly at the man in front of her, as if she didn't recognize him.

  He has a bad habit of staring at girls, but he never uses force on them. Is the current him still the Qin Yan that I know?

  Although we haven't known each other for long, he has helped me time and time again. How could he say such hurtful words like this today?

  She didn't resist his hands, she just let the tears roll down her cheeks, but she didn't regret it. The more it was like this, the more she hoped it was a repayment, a transaction, a nightmare that would soon end. Paying off debts was a matter of course, and the only thing she could use to repay was her body.

  "What's wrong?!"

  Qin Yan suddenly pulled his hand out of her collar and slapped her face, Jiang Xiaoying immediately fell to the ground with a thud.

  She covered her face, looking at him in horror, but his roar still echoed in her ears: "Since you treated this as a transaction, why didn't you agree to Wu Xin from the beginning? Wouldn't you have gotten the advertising contract just the same? Jiang Xiaoying! I'm warning you, this is the first and last time. You can treat yourself like nothing, but don't treat me like nothing. Using transactions to get your body, do you think I'm that eager? Do you think Qin Yan hasn't seen women before? You should be very clear, if I want a woman, even if I don't give anything in return, there are still women who would throw themselves at me! Get out!"

  It wasn't until he finished yelling that Jiang Xiaoying finally woke up completely and realized what kind of mistake she had made.

  Yes!

  She had no money, no power and no good family background. He helped her too much, to repay his kindness, she could only offer her own body.

  But... she didn't consider things from the other person's standpoint.

  In a sense, what she did was an insult to Qin Yan, the greatest disrespect, and imposing her own will on him: this transaction had not been acknowledged by Qin Yan, it was just her one-sided wish.

  If Qin Yan was doing it for her, this deal might have gone on, but as he said, did he help her for the sake of her body?

  The answer is affirmative!

  Almost a hundred thousand yuan worth of clothes, three contracts worth over two million yuan, not to mention the prospects brought by advertising shooting, all these are enough to make him get a large group of women into bed, and not just her. Moreover, he is not that disgusting and sloppy ghost, he is matchless, he can do anything, he is handsome and extraordinary, his temperament is outstanding, as long as he wants, there will be countless girls at the dance party tonight who will voluntarily climb onto his bed without any pay.

  If it were just for lust, how could Jiang Xiaoyan's lone body compare to dozens or hundreds of women?

  What's most crucial is that she originally knew he helped her not for her body, yet in this situation she still disregarded his wishes and tried to repay kindness with her body, which is absolutely humiliating for Qin Yan, and it's only now that she understands this principle.

  "I'm sorry..."

  Jiang Xiaoying got up from the ground, she didn't continue crying, that slap hadn't made her angry, but instead filled her with guilt and apology.

  "Get out!" Qin Yan's voice was cold and his eyes were like ice as he raised his hand and pointed towards the door.

  “……”

  She bowed deeply to him and walked out of the room, closing the door gently behind her. However, she didn't leave immediately, instead leaning against the wall by the doorway.

  She gently stroked the fiery little face, but a warm and happy smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, whispering softly to herself: "He's really good."

  In my heart, a warm current is flowing slowly, and a special feeling has truly sprouted for the first time. That feeling is called - liking.

  Goodbye.

  She was smiling with joy all over her face, went down the stairs and walked towards the college across the road. It was this slap that wiped away all the burdens in her heart.

  His help wasn't for her body, the return she could give was to make his dreams move faster, that's what he wanted to see. Only, she knew very clearly that tonight, although he didn't get her body, he got the most precious thing from her, which is her heart.

  It wasn't until Jiang Xiaoyan left that Qin Yan's tense expression eased, and he took out a Blue Ribbon from the refrigerator, twisted open the cap with one hand, and lay down on the sofa in all directions.

  Is this going too far?

  Will Xiaoyao be able to bear it?

  Hmmm...

  He took a sip of the ice-cold beer and said in a low voice, "Little girl, I'm doing this for your own good. The entertainment industry is full of dirty tricks and corruption. If you keep thinking like that, it won't be long before you get tainted too. Those people who try to take advantage of you with their cunning tactics, can you really handle them? Only by waking you up now will you avoid making similar mistakes in the future... Repaying kindness with your body? Only a silly girl like you would think of doing that."

  Those who truly help you don't need to be repaid; the kind of help that requires repayment can hardly be considered true kindness, so why bother repaying it?

  But it's just a sinister villain.

  Of course, he is also a rascal, but a principled rascal. At least, he won't take advantage of kindness and definitely won't exchange it for lust.

  The corners of his mouth curled up with a reminiscent smile, Qin Yan couldn't help but think: If it were real feelings, that would be a different story, the little girl's figure was still pretty good, and her touch wasn't bad either.

  The minor awkwardness and conflict that night were like a stone thrown into the lake, stirring up ripples before calming down. Neither Qin Yan nor Jiang Xiaoying mentioned it again, as if nothing had ever happened.

  The next day, Qin Yan returned to his usual appearance and continued with his previous life: during the day, he would lie on a recliner at the entrance of the bar, gazing at the beautiful legs across the street. At night, he would watch the beauties through the surveillance cameras in the bar while also guiding Jiang Xiaoying in playing the piano and singing. Jiang Xiaoying spent her days attending classes and nights performing at the bar. The advertisement seemed to still be in preparation, with the previous director replaced by Wu Xin, who did not want to offend Qin Yan because of the perverted director.

  Three days passed unnoticed, calm and peaceful with nothing special happening. The only strange thing was that Gao Mingjian's vacation had long since arrived, but he hadn't returned yet.

  Qin Yan didn't seem to mind this, perhaps something at home had delayed him?

  Calmness is just an appearance.

  He was certain that the organization's tentacles would not reach Yan Huang, and the ball where people showed their true faces would not be noticed by the organization. This point happened to be guessed correctly by him, but did it mean that his identity would never be exposed?

  Jinghua, suburbs.

  A villa nestled in the mountains and waters, on the surface it looks like a mansion of some wealthy family, but hidden in the dark are countless pairs of eyes.

  A pin could be heard dropping in a certain room on the second floor of the villa that was completely hidden in darkness without any light shining through.

  Ding dong...

  As the doorbell rang, the door automatically opened, and a robust man stood outside, bowing: "News has come from the south that Greedy Wolf has appeared in Pingjiang City with unknown intentions."
