The life of market in the west side of the Zhong Hai city was lousy and lively as the cars passed through the crowd. Under the twilight sky, a bunch types of foods displayed on the top of various cart while dirty water soaking the environment. The area mixed with different goods and stuff that are being advertised. Sometimes many colored lights shined from the houses of a worker or a student as they arrived home after work or class. The walking mass also felt tired, quickly making the sky even darker.

Maybe in an internationally-acclaimed city, this zone would be quite the shame, thus many wealthier groups deemed for this filthy zone would disappear.

Near a crossing of the street, a spirited-looking man selling a ramen in his stall, wearing a white apron, a black T-shirt, orange jeans and blue slippers.

The man smiled brightly, making his face filled with radiant content, and if you matched it with his golden hair, his figure looked extremely handsome. Because this area considered as low and dirty place, not a lot of people try to stop by for eating or buying something, thus in result of his stall rarely had customers come by, yet somehow the man not appeared discourage at all as if he didn't care whether his stall was busy or not. The passing girls sometimes glanced toward him but quickly ignored the blonde dude, courtesy of his occupation.

"Ramen!"

"Ramen!"

"Good and warm ramen!" The golden-haired man shouted .

"Old Lee! Pay up!"

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded somewhere near his spot.

3 delinquent looking guys about 20 years old slowly walked toward an old man that set up his stall next to the golden-haired man. Old Lee sold a lot bunch of snacks while his situation more or less was the same with him. Now the old man sat there, looking depressed.

"Y-Young master, please understand, the hot weather made me unable to sell, how can I have the money to pay-"

"Bullshit! Lee, you think you can do whatever you want because I am being nice to you; if not for Brother Feng, this stall would be torn down already," harsh tone punched through an underling's mouth.

The guy called Brother Feng seemed to approve this act. He strolled arrogantly toward old man Lee:

"Today you can only pay the fee Old Man, if not I'll crush your dirty stall!"

The old man didn't know what to do since the remaining money he had right now needed for his wife medication. How could he heartlessly sacrifice the woman of his life for these lot of nutsacks?

"I pay in his stead!"

The ramen seller closed up to them, bringing forward some crumpled cash and said:

"I only had this, Mr. Lee is old and needs money, you guys should be more lenient."

The delinquent squinted his eyes and laughed, grabbed the cash and gave it to his underling.

"Naruto, you wanna play hero? Your protection fee not even paid yet!"

Naruto furrowed his brow and sighed. These bunch of pricks never cared to study, always mess around and play. But since he's not their parent so it's not up to him to say anything, for not to create any unnecessary trouble, hence he replied with a faint smile:

"I'll pay Tomorrow"

"Good. I'm not cruel and heartless. so long we all "cooperate" everything will be fine: I protect your stall, you give me back the fee… It's all business~ I'll come back to collect the money tomorrow"

Then those delinquents carried on to other stalls

Right now old man Lee's eyes reddened, and bitterly looked at Naruto:

"Naruto, you don't have any reason for helping me pay those dogs, I'm so sorry…"

"What are you saying Old Lee, when I just arrived here, everything was new and being a foreigner didn't exactly helping my situation, yet you showed me around and lent me your hand. I see you as both a friend and a benefactor, of course, I have to pay you back somehow…"

"You... what I've done isn't worth mentioning"

Mr. Lee sighed, knowing he couldn't stop Naruto from doing this.

Naruto laughed presumptuously, the laughter was soft but also felt honest, as it not affected by the recent cunning act.

"Old Lee, how's your wife?"

Old man Lee replied with indebtedness:

"Thanks to the money you gave us for her surgery, she feels much better now and few more days she will be at complete recovery."

"Oh, that's good. I wish for her to recover quickly!"

Naruto let out a grin, satisfied with the news.

Mr. Lee laughed sorrowfully:

"Naruto, I will definitely repay the money that you give me. If I die before it's done then my daughter will replace me… aiya, with all those money, you should be able to open up a store instead staying here with just small stall and paying fee for those bastard"

Naruto pursed his lips, replied:

"Don't worry so much, is not like I dislike here, it's fine just selling a ramen on the small stall"

"You this kid…"

The old man seemed upset:

"You're already 23, at this age even without a college degree, you should have to aim higher! You don't even have a girlfriend; why would you want to keep selling ramen in small stall forever? You might not care about that, but I do!"

Seeing how Old Lee truly worried about him, Naruto feels warm and bitter, it's not because he agreed with him but because he had long achieved his dream, and until now he didn't have any more things to accomplish aside just wants to have a peaceful life.

The night had fallen, Naruto cleaned up his small stall, pushing the cart home to his shabby apartment.

Nobody knew when this house was built, but the rent was dirt cheap at only 2$ a month since nobody wanted to live here. Naruto was different from other people, he never cared for comfort so he moved right in when he heard the friendly rental price.

Naruto's room mostly decorated with old furnitures that people threw away on the street: A creaky bed, a closet and a small TV that can played some basic channels.

Settling his cart somewhere in the back of the house, Naruto looked at the calendar on the wall, he jumped his eyebrows, immediately seemed to remember something and quickly ran toward the bathroom.

After getting a quick cold shower, Naruto left the bathroom, displaying his strong-looking skin, perfect 'curves' and firm muscle. If one looked carefully he would see a strong handsome male.

Walking toward the old closet next to his bed, Naruto adjusted his short wet hair, looked at the mess inside the closet, grabbed a white jacket, grey jeans and the blue slippers that he always wore.

With the fastest speed, Naruto headed right toward the most prosperous zone in the district called "The Wine Street."

The luxurious and corrupted life during the night time filled with different colors, different skirts and dresses, and reeked of heavy perfumes. The entire environment on the wine street completely changed the zone in the area as if it was trying to separate itself from the rest of the city. Naruto was different from other young guys who will drolled uncontrollably at the sight of hot girls with long legs and short skirts, he hurriedly walked toward the bar named "Rose".

The light from the neon sign was not blinding. The bar's design gave off a classic and nostalagia feeling, being surrounded by roses hanging around the flickering sign.

Entering the bar, Naruto walked leisurely into a corner of the counter like a habit.

"Naruto, you finally here!"

A young bartender in black suit noticed Naruto's figure, then he smiled and gave Naruto a cup of water.

"You lucky that coming right at the time," the bartender curled his lips while glancing at the clock on the wall.

Naruto let out a small breath and gave sheepish smile while taking a sip from the cup.

"Yeah... thank god for that, there will be no end of it if I did, is she in her room?"

"Nah, sis Jiang Wei was here a few minutes ago, she just have some business to take care."

Xiao Zhao answered, his eyes seemed to be smiling toward Naruto

"Naruto, you have to teach me your skills when you have some spare time! I mean, What trick did you use to my beloved sis Jiang Wei? Countless men in this city lined up trying to court her, which was completely ignored by her. Yet, now, all she did was talking about you then complain that you should have more often visited her."

"I don't know, maybe my natural charm gets her hooked, you know something that I born with..."

Naruto replied with a small grin.

Xiao Zhao rolled his eye, "Yeah, yeah, my big bro is the most handsome man!"

Then he started to look like he's sobbing:

"Bro, you're one hell of a man! You were able to tame our goddess of a bar owner that all men wished for! if I was good as you how many girls will flocking around me now, hum… why the heaven is unfair"

While Xiao Zhao kept going on and on with his rambling, a serious yet alluring figure came into view, accompanied by a sweet yet strict voice:

"Xiao Zhao, if you want to keep complaining about your life, please do so but not while working ok? or your salary will be reduced a little bit."

Xiao Zhao startled, quickly stood up and pretended to be serving drinks as if he never said anything, but sweats started forming on his forehead, clearly showing that he's truly frightened.

The figure clad in a comet-colored cheongsam, her seductive body, chest size, waist, hips were all perfect. Her hair floating in the air, like a flawless angel appeared in front of Naruto.

Naruto smiled and his heart beating faster, then he sincerely said:

"You look gorgeous Jiang Wei, happy birthday to you!"
