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

Jiang Ruyue's heart skipped a beat.

If she were at school, she would be the goddess of No. 1 High School who wouldn't flinch even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her.

But now, she's wearing a bright red Want Want brand bodysuit and a wig that looks like a feather duster. If she gets recognized...

She didn't even dare to imagine what the school's online forum would be like tomorrow.

Most importantly, what if it gets into my parents' ears...

"goddess……?"

Yang Zhe's thirst for knowledge took over, and he stretched his neck out like a turtle.

"It's so similar..." Yang Zhe muttered as he leaned forward, "They're practically identical."

Bai Li could feel the small figure trembling behind him. He didn't have time to think about eating the keyboard.

He frowned, took a half-step to the side, and used his back to block the gaze that was scrutinizing him.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Tingting reacted the fastest, blocking Yang Zhe's way: "If you look again, I'll hit you with Lili's stinky shoe!"

"Exactly! Has Lili ever used those little wings? Smear them on his face too." Li Jiaxin crossed her arms and looked fierce.

Yang Zhe was slightly brought to his senses by the shout, but his eyes still kept drifting towards Bai Li's back.

"No... Sister Ting, I didn't mean anything by it." Yang Zhe scratched his non-mainstream blond hair, looking conflicted.

"It's mainly that aura, and that back view just now, it really looks just like Jiang Ruyue, the aloof goddess of our school."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruyue, who was hiding in the back, knew that pretending to be an ostrich would not only be useless, but would also make people more suspicious.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in her heart.

Then he peeked out from behind Bai Li.

She didn't look Yang Zhe in the eye, but instead lowered her eyelids and uttered a few words in a cold, trashy tone:

"You're noisy."

"Get lost and don't bother me."

Upon hearing this, Bai Li's heart skipped a beat.

This is hardly the behavior of a young, eccentric woman swearing.

This is clearly the kind of image that of a high-class beauty that can only be admired from afar and never touched!

The tone was detached, aloof, and carried an innate, sophisticated sense of world-weariness…

It's practically a suicide truck!

Sure enough, Yang Zhe's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open:

"Holy crap... Holy shit..."

Yang Zhe's lips trembled, and instead of doubt, his eyes erupted with a strange fanaticism and shock.

"That tone...that manner...that feeling of keeping people at arm's length..."

"That's so true! Even wearing a Want Want brand bodysuit, this energy is just perfect!"

Bai Li: "..."

Jiang Ruyue panicked even more when she saw his reaction.

She subconsciously tugged at Bai Li's sleeve, her palms covered in cold sweat.

Just when everyone thought Yang Zhe had been definitively proven guilty.

Yang Zhe suddenly shook his head violently, as if trying to shake off some absurd thought.

"No...it's impossible."

He muttered to himself in self-doubt:

"The goddess is an only child, and I heard her family is very strict. How could she possibly be coming to an internet cafe?"

"and……"

Yang Zhe glanced at the eye-catching red bodysuit and the exaggerated afro, his face full of certainty:

"A goddess's taste is top-notch; she would never dress like this! It's utterly tacky!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ruyue was so ashamed and indignant that she almost wore her toes through the soles of her shoes.

What's wrong with her outfit?!

This is her carefully chosen "rebellious battle outfit"!

"I was so scared..." Yang Zhe patted his chest, looking like he had just escaped a disaster. "For a moment just now, I thought the goddess had fallen."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly turned serious, even somewhat indignant, and he pointed to the ceiling and swore:

"If she really is the most beautiful girl in our school, and she's been corrupted like this..."

"Even if it costs me my life, I, Yang Zhe, will take this all the way to the capital! I'm going to submit a petition with signatures; this is a huge loss for the school! It's a regression of human civilization!!"

Bai Li: "..."

Chen Tingting and the other two: "..."

What kind of weirdo is this?

Bai Li suppressed a laugh and continued, following his lead:

"Alright, stop acting crazy. You said it yourself, she's from a respectable family, what's she doing here?"

"She's just... an ordinary young woman with a slightly eccentric personality, that's all."

"Yes, yes, Brother Li is right."

Yang Zhe nodded repeatedly, completely dispelling his doubts.

If it doesn't make sense logically, then no matter how similar it seems, it's still fake.

After all, in his mind, Jiang Ruyue and the terms "black internet cafe" and "Want Want tights" were simply not in the same league.

The crisis is over.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to send this plague away.

Yang Zhe, however, did not leave immediately.

He stood there, shuffling his feet, a hesitant and shy expression on his face.

The gangster who was just beating up his underlings was now acting like a shy young woman about to confess her feelings.

"Um..."

Yang Zhe rubbed his hands together, his eyes darting around, yet he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ruyue, his voice becoming somewhat obsequious:

"Brother Li... um, could I trouble your wife with something?"

Bai Li raised an eyebrow.

What kind of trouble is this blond guy up to now?

He glanced at Jiang Ruyue behind him.

Although Jiang Ruyue breathed a sigh of relief, she still dared not be careless.

She secretly squeezed Bai Li's palm.

Then, she stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Bai Li's ear, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Let's just pretend and get by... Dude, I didn't say I'd agree to be your girlfriend right now. I'm just trying to keep my identity hidden, so you're getting off easy."

The warm breath sprayed onto my ear, carrying the sweet fragrance unique to young girls.

Bai Li's heart fluttered, and she reached out and grasped that restless little hand, squeezing its soft, boneless palm as a response.

He turned his head, looked at Yang Zhe, and gave him a half-smile:

"What's wrong? Tell me, and I'll see if I can help."

Since the system has determined that Jiang Ruyue is worth pursuing, then we might as well take advantage of this free help.

Yang Zhe received permission and a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum bloomed on his face.

But what he said next shattered everyone's worldview in an instant.

Yang Zhe blushed, lowered his head shyly, tapped two fingers together, and then said in a voice that was both awkward and strangely excited:

"Um... that 'get lost' line just now was really powerful."

He swallowed hard, looked up, and his eyes gleamed.

"Brother Li...could you please ask your wife to say a few more words to me?"

"Ideally... I'd kneel on the ground, and my sister-in-law would step on my head with her foot, looking at me with that utterly disgusted and contemptuous gaze..."

At this point, fearing Bai Li might refuse, he eagerly added:

"If my sister-in-law is willing... I can call her 'Mom' ten more times..."

"puff--!!!"

Lin Xiaoshuang, who was drinking cola and watching the show, suddenly spat out a mouthful of soda.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Chen Tingting choked on the smoke, coughing until tears streamed down her face.

Li Jiaxin slipped and almost fell off the chair.

Even Bai Li, who always maintained a cool and aloof persona, felt her lips twitching wildly at this moment, and couldn't help but want to kick this guy.

unbelievable!

That's absolutely insane!

In just a few short minutes, he went from being a thug who led a fight to the second-best student in the grade.

And now there's this one with peculiar fetishes...

Isn't this a bit too much of a plot twist?!

Bai Li turned his head and looked at Jiang Ruyue with the eyes one would use to look at an alien creature, his eyes filled with:

Your school isn't very big, how did you create so many legends? Where did all these Pokémon come from?

Jiang Ruyue was completely petrified.

Her mouth was agape, her large eyes filled with bewilderment and shock.

This is the same competitor who was so confident on the podium and who kept up with him in every exam?

This is the person praised by the teacher as a "promising graduate student for Tsinghua and Peking Universities" and a role model for all the male students in the school?

He...he actually wanted me to step on his head?

You still want to call me...Mom?!

Bai Li looked at Jiang Ruyue, who had completely crashed, and then at Yang Zhe, who was full of anticipation and even ready to kneel down.

He gave a forced, insincere smile: "Take a guess, will it work?"

Looking at Bai Li's benevolent smile, Yang Zhe felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

His intuition told him that if he didn't retreat quickly, the next thing to step on his head might not be his sister-in-law's delicate feet, but Bai Li's size 43 black leather shoes.

"I...I don't think that will work..." Yang Zhe shrank his neck, his voice barely audible.

"You know it won't work, so why the hell don't you get out of here?!" Bai Li slammed his fist on the table, his voice booming like thunder.

"Alright! I'll get out of here right now!" Yang Zhe trembled in fright and didn't dare to mention stepping on his head again. He turned around and was about to run away.

But halfway through his run, he seemed to suddenly remember something crucial and turned back.

He looked serious and clasped his hands together in front of Bai Li:

"Um... Brother Li, about what happened today, especially that... small request from earlier."

"Please, please don't tell anyone!"

"If the goddess knew I had such twisted thoughts, she would definitely think I was utterly rotten and would never look at me again!"

"Please, Brother Li! This is my last shred of dignity!"

Without waiting for Bai Li's reply, he dashed out of the internet cafe.

Only five bewildered people remained in a corner of the internet cafe.

Bai Li stared at the still-swaying glass door, his lips twitching wildly.

Your last shred of dignity?

Brothers...

Your goddess was less than a meter away from you just now, and she heard your outrageous statement.

In her heart, you're no longer just a terrible person.

You've gone straight to the ground, you idiot!

Bai Li turned her head and looked at Jiang Ruyue behind her.

Jiang Ruyue was staring at the direction where Yang Zhe had disappeared with a look of detachment from worldly affairs.

"Well..." Bai Li coughed lightly, breaking the extremely awkward silence: "Your classmate is quite cute."

"Ahhh! Stop it! That's so perverted!" Jiang Ruyue finally realized what was happening, covering her ears, her face as red as a ripe tomato.

"I'm starting to have psychological trauma from this!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Chen Tingting and the other two finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter, slapping the table and laughing uncontrollably.

"This is hilarious! Is this what a top university student looks like? They're really good at this!"

"This isn't about wanting to be a top student, it's about wanting to be a filial son!"

The internet cafe was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Bai Li checked the time; after all that commotion from these rascals, it was almost five o'clock.

He reached out and ruffled Jiang Ruyue's multicolored wig, pulling the girl, who was still questioning her existence, back to reality.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. You'll never understand a twisted brain."

Bai Li stood up and waved his hand:

"Let's go, even just coming online has so much trouble."

"I'm hungry, let me take you guys out to eat!"
