It's over! How embarrassing!

Such words popped out in Xia Mu's mind: How could she cause such an embarrassing mishap!?

In the instant that Xia Mu collapsed backwards, Mu Dongdong moved. He took a step forward, his right leg took a big step forward, and his left leg straightened, like an arrow being pulled out of a bow. His hands quickly reached out and wrapped around the waist of the person who was leaning backwards.

Xia Mu's senses were completely still at this moment. His falling body was blocked by someone. A pair of powerful palms were pressed against his back.

When they got closer, Mu Dongfang realized that her skin was actually this good!

He was extremely close to her, so close that he could feel her breathing. Her body did not have the fragrance of a normal girl, but there was also the smell of home.

At this time, the girl who was being held by his arms had a frightened look in her big eyes due to the sudden incident. Her face was delicate and pretty, her cherry lips slightly opened, and she exhaled a faint fragrance that lingered around her.

Suddenly, his mind lit up. That beautiful dream had become a reality.

"Are you alright?" Sensing the disturbance within his heart, Mu Dongfang immediately retracted his hand, righted his body, and knelt beside Xia Mu.

Even though he was squatting down, the man was still standing straight.

Xia Mu raised his eyes to look at the man. His eyes were very deep, and the corners of his eyes were raised. However, they didn't seem to be overflowing. They were very black, like a deep lake, and Xia Mu seemed to have been sucked into them.

One at a time …

Dong, dong …

Dong dong, dong dong …

His heartbeat, one after another, messed up his rhythm.

Under her petite white earlobes, there was an intoxicating red color.

Not daring to look into those eyes any longer, Xia Mu lowered his head and covered his trembling voice, "Thank you."

That voice was very soft and low, but there was an indescribable softness to it that caused the man squatting there to relax.

The girl's head was lowered. He could see the top of her hair and the skin on her neck. It was shockingly white, like a fine piece of jade. It was tempting to reach out and feel her warmth.

Mu Dongfang's eyes darkened slightly before he spoke in a low voice, "You're welcome." With that, he stood up and took two steps back.

Xia Mu let out a breath of relief as the suffocating feeling in his face suddenly disappeared. However, the man's tall body stood there, enveloping Xia Mu within his sphere of influence. This pressure was even greater.

What was this man trying to do?

"You …"

"I …"

The two of them spoke up at the same time.

Sitting on the stool, Xia Mu raised his head and asked, "Are you full?" His big eyes were full of seriousness.

"Nope."

"Then wait a moment." After saying that, he took the spoon and started busying his hands.

Sure enough, he hadn't eaten his fill yet. He remembered that the last time he was here, he ate four pancakes in one go and even packed one of them later on. Looking at how slowly he ate today, he thought that the pancake was not tasty. Turns out, it wasn't enough to eat. Xia Mu pondered in his heart, and his hands moved even faster.

Mu Dongfang stood there without moving. His dark eyes rolled around and his clear jaw tightened. For the first time, he didn't want to look away. The heart in his chest seemed to be injected with a sweet spring that nourished his dried up heart and once again radiated with youthful vigor.

His gaze grew more and more fervent. For the first time, he was interested in the woman in front of him.

The fervent gaze from above made Xia Mu feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. The spoon in his hand lightly scooped up the pancake and stably placed it into the plate. Putting down the shovel, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up some pickled vegetables and placed them on the plate. He raised his head and his elegant voice echoed in the spring sunshine:

"Alright, you can eat now."

On this frosty April day, the sun was warm and shining on the earth.

Mu Dongfang sat on the roadside stall as he carefully savored an ordinary pancake.

This was not the most delicious thing he had ever eaten, but it was enough to move him. The sense of satisfaction that burst forth from the depths of his heart made him slightly excited. Under the stimulation of the food, his originally clear mind began to turn chaotic once more.

Fortunately, it was only for a short period of time.

While pouring the flour paste into the frying pan, Xia Mu secretly glanced at the man who was eating his meal. The line of the man's face was clear and straight, and because of the chewing motion, the tip of his nose trembled slightly. His eating speed was very fast, but it was not too rough.

He was truly a good-looking man, Xia Mu had decided in his heart. Of course, other than having a good appearance, he was also a kind person.

However, this kind and kind person already had a beautiful girlfriend. That Miss Wei was quite compatible with him! The scene of the two standing together was very beautiful.

"Lady Boss, is my pancake ready?!" The shouts of the customers woke Xia Mu from his stupor.

"Right away!" In his heart, Xia Mu was secretly angered that he would fall into a trance when he saw the man looking at him. He flipped the pancake in the pot with the spatula in his hand, only to discover that the pancake had already been glued to the ground!

Xia Mu ah Xia Mo, stop your daydreaming!

Mu Dongfang had used the slowest speed at which he had eaten the two pancakes. If his brothers had seen these pancakes, who knows what they would have said.

He slowly swallowed the last mouthful of pancake and placed the chopsticks on the table. Mu Dongfang raised his head and turned around, asking, "Give me another ten pancakes!"

The ten fresh pancakes were put into the bag, and carefully, Xia Mu put on another layer of the bag, "Here's your pancakes."

At first, when Mu Dongdong said ten more pancakes, Xia Mu really couldn't believe it. However, he found out later on that these ten pancakes were brought home.

Mu Dongfang took the bag and handed over the money.

Xia Mu raised his head and looked straight at Mu Dong, who was much taller than him. With a shallow smile, he said, "There's no need. Today, I invited you as a thank you for your help."

Hearing the girl's words, Mu Dongfang's thick eyebrows raised as he spoke with a magnetic voice. "How can that be? If it's like this for anyone, then your stall will close one day." The money for breakfast wasn't much, but she earned a lot of money from it. Furthermore, the boy among the two children was not in good health, so the monthly medical expenses would be a large sum of money.

Actually, it's not like this for everyone, it's just that it's like this for you! This sentence, Xia Mu choked in his throat, unable to speak.

Looking at the bill in front of him, it seemed as if the other party would not bow down until he had accepted it.

"Then, thank you." Xia Mu smiled and accepted the money, before lowering his head and taking out some change from his pocket, "This is for you."

A few coins were placed in the girl's palm.

Her hand was so small! This was Mu Dongfang's first reaction. However, his fingers were well-proportioned and very good-looking.

"Thank you." The man lowered his voice, reached out his hand, and picked up the coins.

Inevitably, his fingers touched her palm.

Xia Mu's palm trembled. When the coin left, he quickly took it back and clenched it tightly. He said, "You're welcome."

Small Theatre:

Shrimp: Master Mu, is the pancake delicious?

Lord Mu pursed his lips and replied in a low voice, "Not bad."

Shrimp: Then are you full?

Lord Mu's eyes turned cold as he glanced at Mu Chen …

Shrimp: Heh heh, the ancient saying is ha-ha, don't all of them have the feeling of warmth and thought, you know.

For a time, the atmosphere froze.

It was reasonable to say that Mu Dong had already eaten his porridge, eaten his pancakes, packed his things and left. However, his legs were rooted to the ground and he didn't want to leave.

Right, ask her how her child is doing. Right, that's all!

After thinking a few times, he finally found a reasonable excuse.

Lord Mu opened his mouth again. "How is the baby?"

After Xia Mu handed over the change, he thought that this person should leave as well. However, he felt a little reluctant and was about to say something when he heard the man's voice.

Xia Mu was about to speak when a voice interrupted her.

"Lady Boss, this is the notice from the street office." A man with a red armband said, holding a piece of paper.

"Aiyo, boss! Why are you urging us to move so quickly? Where are we moving to?" The next person who answered was Zhang Xiulan from the next stall.

"I don't care. As stated above, we must move out of this place according to the time limit. Those that are overdue, handle them according to the regulations."

Zhang Xiulan held the paper close to her eyes and said, "What should we do? Xia Mu, do you have a way?! "

Xia Mu shook his head as he looked at Zhang Xiulan with a troubled expression. This was not the first time they had issued a notice stating that they would move out of the area. The first few times, the vendors in their area had not taken this piece of paper seriously, and they had even started a "guerrilla war" with their managers in private. He always thought that he would be able to solve the problem just like that. Who knew that it would be true this time.

Seeing that the notice was clearly written in black and white, Xia Mu also became worried. Where could he find a place in such a short time?

Previously, Xia Mu had chosen to set up a stall here, on one hand, it was close to the children's kindergarten. On the other hand, there were schools, residential areas, and a market. However, now that he had made such a ruckus, Xia Mu wasn't prepared for his future life at all.

"Let me see." Mu Dong was able to guess a part of the commotion just now. After quickly skimming through the contents of the notice, Mu Dongfang's gentle and deep voice rang out, "I have a friend who is making food and beverages. They have been prepared for transfer recently. Let me ask around for you."

Xia Mu was still worrying about where to find a place when he heard Mu Dong's words. He was very happy and excitedly asked, "Really?"

Looking at the girl's face, which had turned slightly red due to her excitement, and the joy in her eyes, Mu Dongfang felt that he should've said what he had just said!

After a while, the joy in Xia Mu's eyes disappeared, followed by a bit of depression. "Forget it, the rent must be very expensive." She muttered something in a low voice.

Mu Dongfang, who had excellent hearing, naturally didn't miss these words. He also knew Xia Mu's financial situation; otherwise, he wouldn't have set up a stall by the roadside.

He comforted her, "I'm not sure about the rent. How about this, I'll help you ask so that I can be the leader. You guys can discuss the details yourselves."

"Thank you." They had only met a few times, and could not even be considered friends. But today, they had said these words. Regardless of the outcome, Xia Mu's words of thanks were from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that the girl had suddenly let out a breath of relief, Mu Dong raised his eyebrows and smiled. "We'll just treat me to pancakes when the time comes."

"I'll definitely let you eat your fill!" Xia Mu was full of smiles.

Under the warm April sun, the sun's rays gently shone on the young girl. In front of her stood a tall and handsome man. The man's lips formed a slight curve, warming his well-defined face.

Fate, with a strange encounter, brought her to his side once again!
