Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

The proprietress seemed to have heard something strange, and picked at her ears, thinking she had misheard:

"What did you say? A month?"

Even Chen Tingting and the other two looked at Bai Li with a shocked expression.

A month! That would cost several hundred yuan!

Bai Li had no interest in wasting time talking to her.

He quickly calculated in his mind that it was 25 a day, and 750 a month if there were 30 days.

In addition, there was the four nights' room fee they owed, which amounted to one hundred yuan.

The total is 850 yuan.

That's exactly all the investment amount he has left for today.

He took out his phone, pulled up the payment code, and gestured with his chin towards the QR code sign on the counter.

"Can I scan this?"

The proprietress looked at Bai Li's serious expression and then at the three energetic young women.

This young man doesn't seem stupid.

[But he's going to pay for a month's worth of hotel rooms for several young women, even though he probably won't get that money back.]

She muttered to herself, but still took out her phone and opened the payment code.

The next second, an electronic notification sounded.

"Payment received via WeChat: 850 yuan."

The proprietress visibly trembled. She looked down at the notification on her phone screen that the money had been credited to her account, checking it several times before she dared to believe it was real.

Bai Li put away his phone, his gaze sweeping over the proprietress's face, which had gone from shock to astonishment, before speaking calmly.

His voice remained calm, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"I'll book this room for a month."

"For the past month, I don't want anyone else to come in and disturb us except for those three."

"Did you understand?"

The proprietress's expression was truly remarkable.

From the previous contempt and disdain to the current shock and fawning, the speed of the change of expression was astonishing.

Her chubby face strained to create a fawning smile, her voice sickeningly sweet:

"Got it, got it! Don't worry, boss! I'll get you the key to our best room right away! The biggest one!"

As she spoke, she deftly took the key and handed it to Bai Li with both hands.

The three girls standing behind Bai Li were completely dumbfounded.

They stared, mouths agape, at Bai Li's retreating figure.

Especially Chen Tingting, whose eyes, which always carried a hint of arrogance, were now filled with disbelief.

Humiliated, owed money and no one pays it back, nowhere to go...

These problems that made them feel so embarrassed and ashamed were nothing more than a matter of scanning a QR code and paying a sum of money in front of this man.

Eight hundred and fifty yuan!

They just casually gave it away!

This money is enough for them to drink more than two hundred cups of lemonade in Kudiao Nuancheng!

This way of solving problems is simple and direct, yet it possesses an irresistible charm for them.

It turns out that having money really does allow you to do whatever you want.

At this moment, Bai Li's image in their eyes was elevated to a new level.

That wasn't just a "big brother," that was practically a god.

Bai Li took the key, feeling the three burning gazes behind him, a mixture of admiration and dependence, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

He turned around and waved the keys in his hand at the three people who were still in a daze:

"Let's go inside."

"Ah! Oh!"

Chen Tingting and the others then seemed to wake from a dream, and their suppressed emotions instantly erupted.

"Big Brother is awesome!" Chen Tingting was the first to scream and rush over, grabbing Bai Li's arm from the side.

She tilted her head back, her eyes, heavily lined with eyeliner, shining brightly.

"Dude, you're so cool! Holy crap, that old woman's face turned green just now, that was so satisfying!"

Li Jiaxin followed closely behind. Although she didn't say anything, her actions spoke volumes.

She hugged Bai Li's other arm from the other side, pressed her cheek against his shoulder, and her purple hair tickled his neck.

Seeing that both of Bai Li's arms were occupied, Lin Xiaoshuang was frantic and paced around in circles.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and hugged Bai Li's waist from the front.

The little girl only reached his chest; she was completely buried in his trench coat, and her muffled voice came from his embrace:

"Big brother...you're so kind..."

Bai Li, who is 1.87 meters tall, was carried on the back of three girls with different styles.

On the left is Li Jiaxin's cool and aloof demeanor, on the right is Chen Tingting's fiery and voluptuous figure, and in her arms is Lin Xiaoshuang's soft and adorable petite figure.

The three different perfume scents blended with their individual body fragrances, creating a unique aroma that enveloped him.

This was a bit too much for a normal, vigorous man like him.

"Ahem." Bai Li coughed lightly twice and shifted slightly, looking a little awkward.

He gently nudged them:

"Alright, I've done all I can to help. Now lead the way and let's see what the room is like."

Hearing him say that, the three girls reluctantly let go of each other's hands.

Chen Tingting snatched the keys and rushed up the stairs, her back view filled with triumphant joy.

The best room is at the end of the corridor on the third floor; it is indeed the largest one.

Pushing open the door, the scene inside surprised Bai Li somewhat.

It wasn't as dirty and messy as he had imagined; the room was fairly clean.

The floor was covered with dark red linoleum, and although the walls were somewhat yellowed, at least there were no mold spots.

There were three single beds in the room, all with matching white sheets. Although they were a bit stiff from washing, they were still quite clean.

There is a WiFi router hanging on the wall.

What surprised Bai Li the most was that there was even a separate bathroom here.

Although it's pitifully small, at least you can take a hot bath.

For a price of 25 yuan a day, this configuration is simply luxurious.

The girls didn't have much luggage, just a small handbag each, which they casually tossed onto the table after coming in.

Chen Tingting and Li Jiaxin walked to the bedside with practiced movements. Together, they pushed the three small beds together, making a large communal bed that could fit four or five people.

After doing all that, they surrounded her like three kittens.

Chen Tingting leaned against the edge of the bed, one leg straight and the other bent, outlining the rounded curves under her tight jeans.

She touched the tongue piercing with the tip of her tongue, her eyes filled with a mixture of inquiry and provocation:

"Brother, I'll ask you one more time, tell me the truth."

"Have you taken a fancy to one of our sisters? You're such a nice person, we'd rather just go home with you, why waste this money?"

Li Jiaxin sat next to her and nodded silently. She played with the ends of her purple hair, her voice soft but clear:

"I have no objection."

Lin Xiaoshuang blushed, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, and added in a low voice:

"Um……"

Bai Li was stunned for a moment.

He looked at the three faces in front of him, each with a distinct style but equally young and beautiful, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He realized that he had underestimated their way of thinking.

"You're overthinking it." Bai Li leaned against the doorframe, hands in his trench coat pockets.

"I just thought you guys were interesting, so I lent a hand and it was also a way for me to experience life."

The more nonchalant and indifferent he appeared, the more...

Yet, it shines even brighter in the eyes of the girls.

This selfless power and mystery are a deadly poison to them.

Then, Bai Li saw that the sun outside had fully risen.

He took out his phone and checked the time; it was almost noon.

My mother's WeChat message popped up at that moment:

[Where are you, little one? Your cousin Bai Jian is visiting!]
