Chapter 10: Chapter 10
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the twinkling of an eye, the time for the movie Lin Xian had reserved was almost here, and the lights dimmed.
Lin Xian eagerly looked towards the entrance.
Just then, a person wearing a white dress with flowing long hair approached him.
"Moxi, I'm glad you came." Lin Xian was overjoyed; he had been wanting to see Jiang Moxi several times.
But Jiang Moxi kept her face turned away, using her long hair to cover it. Lin Xian thought she was just shy, revealing her true self to him.
"After the movie, let me have a good look at you."
He reached out to grab Jiang Moxi's hand, and though she struggled briefly, she eventually allowed him to hold it.
He was puzzled because Jiang Moxi's hand was a bit rough and calloused.
But he recalled that Jiang Moxi had lived in the countryside before being adopted by the Jiang Family.
He thought that maybe all the farm work had made her hands rough.
He felt a twinge of heartache and decided to treat Jiang Moxi better in the future.
Throughout the movie, Lin Xian held Jiang Moxi's hand tightly in his palm, contemplating how to confess his feelings to her...
However, when the movie ended and the lights came on, Lin Xian turned excitedly to look at Jiang Moxi, only to be stunned.
Because the person sitting next to him was a male scavenger from near their school.
Because of his slender build and the dress he wore with a wig, in the dim light, he looked no different from a woman.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Lin Xian quickly let go of the man's hand and even rubbed his own hand on another seat to show his disgust.
As soon as he thought about how his hand had been holding the scavenger's hand for over an hour, he wished he could chop off his hand.
"Didn't you promise to go with me to the movie and treat me to a meal after I change into a dress?"
"Get lost!"
Lin Xian didn't believe any of this.
He knew he had been fooled by Jiang Moxi, and he was furious.
He threw all the 99 roses he had prepared for Jiang Moxi onto the ground.
But Scavenger wasn't bothered at all; he smirked and said, "Alright, I'm out of here."
As soon as he left the cinema, Scavenger took out his phone and sent a message to a certain number: "It's done, Ghost."

When Jiang Moxi saw the message, she happened to have just delivered the SereniFlex Pill to Yu Dingding.
She replied, "Then back off for now, don't appear near the school these days."
After sending the message, she deleted the conversation window.
Then she reminded Yu Dingding, "I'm giving you two pills this time, but remember not to be greedy and use them in moderation."
"I know, you always remind me every time you give me medicine."
After handing the bag with the money to Jiang Moxi, Yu Dingding was about to leave.
But Jiang Moxi suddenly called her back, "Do you know any part-time jobs at night that pay well?"
The situation with that person in the hospital had become more and more critical. Apart from needing a large sum of money each month to sustain life, it was estimated that two major surgeries would be needed in the future.
Yu Dingding said, "You know, I'm not from Yan City, and the only place I'm familiar with is the Nightless City. They are currently hiring watiresses, would you consider doing it?"
The Nightless City was a place of indulgence.
Many people viewed those who work in such pleasure-seeking places with biased attitudes or preconceived judgments.
Even if they weren't treating others with malicious intent, people from the outside would still gossip about them.
This was also why Yu Dingding knew that Jiang Moxi needed money but had refrained from introducing her to work there - she didn't want Jiang Moxi to follow in her footsteps.
However, Jiang Moxi surprised her by asking, "Do waitresses earn a lot of money?"
"Quite a lot, but the prerequisite is that you know how to protect yourself," Yu Dingding pointed out.
"Then I'll do it."
Jiang Moxi's resolute tone caught Yu Dingding off guard, and she asked, "The person who makes you so determined to earn this money must be very important to you, right?"
"Yes."
Jiang Moxi nodded with a smile.
Yu Dingding seemed to see her past self through Jiang Moxi.
So, she immediately took Jiang Moxi to the Nightless City.
Because Yu Dingding was a prominent figure in the establishment, even though the club manager wasn't entirely pleased with Jiang Moxi's appearance, they still accepted her and placed her in the VIP section alongside Yu Dingding.
However, on the very next day after Jiang Moxi started working there, she ran into Fu Youhan...
