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

"hiss--"

The sound of air being drawn out came from behind the curtain.

"Cloud Top Palace? Or Villa Number One?" Er Gou could barely hold the peanuts in his hand, his voice trembling:

"When Bai Li arrives later, should we kneel down and kowtow to him?"

"Would kowtowing even work?" Erwa asked, putting on airs. He took a sip of water, acting all mysterious. "You guys are really clueless. Look at what they're asking for. At their level now, the darkness behind them is so thick that even the light can't get in!"

Outside.

Chen Tingting clutched her stomach, her shoulders shaking from trying to suppress her laughter, while her two large breasts bounced around playfully.

Li Jiaxin rolled her eyes, while Lin Xiaoshuang simply buried her face in Bai Li's back.

Zhang Qian tugged at Bai Li's clothes, laughing so hard she could hardly breathe.

Bai Mo pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, his eyes overflowing with admiration.

So it turns out my cousin not only makes sows line up, but he's also a mafia godfather?

Bai Jian's legs went weak, and he had to hold onto the wall to avoid sliding to the ground.

Don't drag him into that mess with those idiots inside!

I couldn't listen to it anymore.

The more he talks, the more outrageous it becomes. If I listened for another two minutes, I'd be able to ascend the throne and become emperor in Ping County.

I'm just an ordinary person with a system, what is all this about?

cough cough.

Bai Li cleared his throat and reached out to lift the heavy, tattered cotton curtain.

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

The mute button was pressed in the private room.

A dozen or so childhood friends and peers from the village, some holding wine glasses, some gnawing on lamb bones, all stood frozen in place.

Everyone stared intently at the doorway.

Bai Li was wearing a well-tailored black coat and was nearly 1.9 meters tall.

Those almond-shaped eyes, optimized by the system, swept across the table, and the succubus fragrance emanating from her body gave her an irresistible air of sophistication, even in a restaurant filled with the aroma of mutton soup.

The key point is that behind him, there were four stunningly beautiful women dressed in their finest attire lined up.

Red, purple, yellow, blue—their outfits are all incredibly sexy, and their hair colors are even more vibrant than the fireworks outside.

Erwa was the first to react. He kicked his chair back, ran up to her, and bowed, saying:

"Brother Li! You've finally arrived! Quickly, please take a seat!"

Er Gou jumped up from the main seat, picked up his used bowl and chopsticks, and squeezed to the side, afraid that if he was even half a second too slow, he would be dragged out and beaten.

"It's the New Year, everyone please sit down." Bai Li pulled out a chair and sat down.

The four women stood in perfect unison on both sides.

Zhang Qian reached out and took the coat, hanging it on the back of the chair.

Lin Xiaoshuang scalded the bowls and chopsticks with boiling water.

Chen Tingting opened a bottle of mineral water, loosened the cap, and placed it next to Bai Li.

Li Jiaxin took out some pebbles from her pocket, pulled one out and held it to Bai Li's lips, then lit it with a snap.

The movements were fluid and flawless.

The private room was so quiet you could hear someone swallowing.

Several newlywed young men looked at Bai Li, then at their wives picking their noses and scrolling through short videos, and they were practically grinding their teeth in frustration.

"Brother Li, this table of dishes isn't fancy enough." Erwa turned around and pulled a red box from under the table: "This is the Moutai I originally planned to give to my old man, but I'm presenting it to you today to welcome you!"

"Fill it up! Fill it up!"

A group of people surrounded him, some pouring drinks, others lighting cigarettes.

This kind of flattery perfectly embodies the phrase "opportunistic and sycophantic."

When you're broke, these people won't even bother to offer you a cigarette at the village entrance, let alone let you sit in the seat of honor.

If they have money, they can lick the soles of your shoes until they shine, and show you what Sichuan opera face-changing is all about.

Bai Li picked up a piece of mutton, didn't say anything, and just listened to them bragging.

After several rounds of drinks, the meal was enjoyed with great fanfare.

The young women weren't going to tolerate this group's restraint; their main approach to serving Bai Li was to be blatantly open.

Zhang Qian peeled a shrimp and stuffed it directly into Bai Li's mouth:

"Big brother, open your mouth."

Lin Xiaoshuang waited nearby with tissues, and when she saw Bai Li finish eating, she quickly went over to wipe his mouth.

The close-fitting nature of the outfit made Er Gou across from him swallow hard several times.

Li Jiaxin went even further, placing one hand on Bai Li's thigh and handing him a dish of vinegar with the other:

"Brother, dip it in this to cut through the greasiness."

The other people at the table stared wide-eyed, filled with envy and jealousy, yet they didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.

Li Lili, the village beauty diagonally opposite, couldn't sit still any longer.

She specially put on a pure and alluring makeup look today, originally intending to project a cool and aloof image in front of her peers in the village and incidentally launch a downward attack.

As a result, the limelight was stolen by these four brightly colored girls.

Even more deadly was that the rumors about that Panamera and Genting Highlands 1 fueled her greed to the extreme.

Li Lili, holding a small half-glass of wine, stood up, swaying her waist, and walked around half the table to get closer to Bai Li.

"Brother Bai Li, you've changed so much in the years we haven't seen each other." Li Lili said in a soft, weak voice:

"Um... you're in the city now, are you dating anyone? If not, let's keep in touch on WeChat, okay? I can do housework now~"

The moment he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the table changed.

Before Bai Li could speak...

"Snapped!"

Chen Tingting slammed her chopsticks on the table, tossed her red hair, and glanced sideways at Li Lili.

"Hey lady, are you blind or have cataracts? Can't you see the four of us breathing here?"

Li Lili's face stiffened as she was scolded, but she forced a smile:

"Little sister, I was just asking. After all, Bai Li and I are from the same village, we know each other well..."

"You know nothing about me." Li Jiaxin scoffed coldly from the side, her purple hair radiating disdain.

"Only we know the true nature of our elder brother's background. Who do you think you are, coming here to cause trouble?"

Zhang Qian echoed the sentiment, saying, "He's 28, do you even understand?" "And look at the makeup on your face, it could be used to paint a wall, and you're still pretending to be an innocent, green tea bitch?"

"You've pulled your collar down so low, what, are you planning to add some milk flavor to the mutton soup?" Lin Xiaoshuang didn't mince words, using her softest voice to say the most hurtful things.

Li Lili was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged, but under the overwhelming numerical and combat power, she couldn't utter a single word.

Bai Li leaned back in his chair, looking at Li Lili who was on the verge of tears, but felt no emotion whatsoever.

The system panel had already displayed the woman's data in my field of vision.

[Target: Li Lili. Affection Level: 5.]

It's only 5 o'clock.

She's practically a carbon copy of Xia Qing, that stinky dog.

Seeing that even with only a 5% affection level, she was still so eager to win him over, Bai Li couldn't help but sigh.

This world is truly magical.

I remember a few years ago, I had just graduated and hadn't started working in Shanghai yet.

When he returned to the village for the Chinese New Year, he happened to be arguing with Xia Qing and breaking up with her. His mother, Wang Xiulian, was so anxious that she dragged him to a blind date.

The blind date was the village beauty standing right in front of me.

We had just added each other on WeChat, and this woman acted more superior than anyone else.

She immediately posted a long list of criteria for choosing a partner: I'm a slow-burner type, relationships must have a sense of ritual, and I have a bad temper that I need the man to tolerate.

Open your WeChat Moments, and you'll always see posts from people preparing for civil service exams or postgraduate entrance exams.

After only a couple of sentences, she would specifically emphasize that she has a male best friend of over ten years, stressing that it is a purely platonic friendship.

In addition, besides browsing Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) and watching Korean dramas, I usually spend my time on them.

At that time, Bai Li sent a screenshot of the chat history to her best friend Wang Wei.

Wang Wei cursed on the phone: "Anyone who tries to lick my boots with a woman like that is a laughing stock! These traits are all minefields. If you have even one of these traits, the relationship is doomed. Is she just using this as a task to complete?"

I'm always preparing for civil service exams and postgraduate entrance exams, and my male best friend is always by my side. Being slow to warm up means I have a lot of admirers who can't reciprocate!

Bai Li deeply agreed.

What now?

Knowing that she had a Panamera and having heard the rumors about the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds, this village beauty suddenly became much more enthusiastic.

She's not so stubborn anymore, and she can even do housework now?

They're not even going to mention any of that bullshit sense of ritual or emotional value anymore?

He didn't even need to look; Bai Li knew perfectly well that if he just nodded now, this woman would come to his room tonight to demonstrate how to give birth, taking the initiative without ever mentioning her misogyny.

it is ridiculous.

Bai Li decisively looked away, his tone completely flat: "I don't have time to add you on WeChat. I have plenty of girlfriends, you're not even in the running."

In short, it completely blocked the road.

Li Lili's face turned pale, and she sheepishly took her wine glass and sat back down in her original seat.

Bai Li glanced at Zhang Qian, who was wiping her hands with a tissue, and knew exactly what was going on in her mind.

Aren't sexy young women appealing?

If I spend a few dozen yuan, even just to treat them to a steamed bun breakfast, they will be incredibly moved and receive an overwhelming amount of emotional value.

Give them a little kindness, and they'll be willing to give you their lives.

We'll reward you with all sorts of styles, poses, and gestures.

Even the relationships between the inner circle were clearly sorted out by Chen Tingting, the eldest sister.

She's young, beautiful, and full of vitality in both body and personality. Most importantly, she's grateful and repays kindness.

With minimal cost, I achieved top-notch physical and psychological rewards.

It would take a fool to turn down such a sensible and obedient money tree and go after this scheming woman who puts on a sophisticated persona but is actually a gold digger.

Just as the atmosphere in the private room became awkward because of this incident.

"Splash—"

The heavy cotton curtain was once again flung open.

A gust of cold wind, carrying the chill from outside, rushed in, accompanied by a somewhat hurried and guilty male voice.

"I'm late, I'm so sorry Erwa! I'm so sorry everyone!"

The man rubbed his hands together as he squeezed in:

"There are so many people during the New Year, traffic jams, traffic jams..."
