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

Li Mengmeng quickly sat up straight, crossed her arms over her chest, and raised her soft voice two octaves:

"No way! Mengmeng would never hurt Brother Bai Li!"

The word "harm" is used very aptly.

Bai Li didn't respond, stepped on the gas, and drove the Panamera straight to the largest supermarket in Ping County.

After the car came to a stop, the three of them opened the car door.

As soon as they reached the main entrance of the supermarket, Li Mengmeng skillfully moved up to Bai Li and grabbed his left arm with both hands.

The impressive fifth gear pressed unabashedly against the trench coat fabric, bouncing with every step.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruyue didn't say anything, but walked around the front of the car to Bai Li's right side.

She took a long stride and, following Bai Li's example, took both arms and grabbed Bai Li's right arm.

On one side is a legal loli with a height of 155cm, a childlike face and a simple demeanor, wearing white stockings and a JK uniform, and her chubby little legs are particularly eye-catching when she walks;

On the other side was a 168cm tall, aloof girl with a fair complexion, long hair reaching her waist, and a face that screamed "keep away."

Sandwiched between them was Bai Li, who was 187cm tall. His coat was open, his figure was upright, and his face, which had been transformed by his talent, was too handsome.

The three of them walked into the vegetable section and immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Several young people pushing shopping carts passed by, their eyes wide with amazement, and they kept bumping into the shelves.

Even the middle-aged woman in the weighing area couldn't help but glance at it a couple more times, secretly nudging her colleague next to her with her elbow and whispering something.

Bai Li felt uneasy being stared at by passersby; this combination was indeed too much of a target of hatred.

To ease the awkwardness, he turned his head to look at Jiang Ruyue on his right.

"I was born in 01," Bai Li casually started a conversation. "What year were you born?"

Jiang Ruyue held onto his arm tightly, then looked up at him.

That pure and beautiful face revealed an undisguised seriousness and curiosity.

"Do you want to go wash now?"

The air is stuck.

The cool mist from the vegetable section was billowing out.

Bai Li stood there, stunned.

It took him a full five seconds to process the absurd connection between the pronunciations of "of which year" and "of which year".

What kind of brain circuit is this?!

"Bang Bang!!"

Bai Li withdrew his hand and tapped Jiang Ruyue on the forehead.

"Ouch!" Jiang Ruyue covered her head and squatted down, raising her head with tears in her eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Li was practically going crazy. "What exactly have you been learning at home every day since the New Year? Who taught you all that?"

"I'm asking your proper age, you know!"

Jiang Ruyue rubbed her forehead, pouted, and stood up, sniffling pitifully.

"Just ask your age, why are you pronouncing it so badly? I was born in 07, I'm over 18 and have been here for several months already, sob sob..."

The way she rubbed her head revealed a natural, innocent naiveté.

Li Mengmeng on the left looked on as if facing a formidable enemy.

It’s over.

This girl isn't some scheming, manipulative woman at all; she's a completely naive and innocent human!

What's most terrifying is this natural quality, paired with that pure and innocent face, plus the contrast of speaking crudely with a straight face.

Which of those men outside could resist such a soul-crushing attack?

Fortunately, I'm determined to get it tonight, and I've already bought the pills.

If this drags on any longer, who knows who will eat whom at dinner tonight!

Li Mengmeng quickly changed the subject and pulled Bai Li toward the fresh produce section.

"Let's hurry and go buy groceries! If we're too late, all the good ribs will be gone!"

The supermarket's heating was on quite strongly.

Li Mengmeng pushed the shopping cart, displaying a homebody attitude beyond her years.

"Auntie, chop this front piece into smaller pieces for me."

"This tomato won't do. It's hard to the touch, has a thick skin, and won't release any juice when cooked."

"Brother Bai Li, how about I make you sweet and sour pork ribs tonight? And a tomato and beef brisket soup too. I tried making it many times at home during the Chinese New Year, and my mom always praised how delicious it was."

She was like a busy little bee, flitting back and forth in front of the vegetable stall.

When selecting garlic cloves and ginger, even the white parts of scallions must be the freshest.

Jiang Ruyue couldn't get involved, so she obediently followed Bai Li, occasionally reaching out to poke the grass carp blowing bubbles in the live fish area.

"This fish looks rebellious." Jiang Ruyue stared at the grass carp with its eyes rolling back, and said something surprising: "It doesn't even look people in the eye."

Bai Li sighed: "Because it was a dead fish."

Jiang Ruyue said "Oh," silently withdrew her hand, then ran to the vegetable section, grabbed a huge yam, and turned to ask Bai Li, "Can I buy this?"

"What are you going to do with it?"

"I read online that bad girls all use this..."

"Put it down!" Bai Li, exasperated, forcibly snatched the yam from her hand and threw it back onto the shelf. "Stop reading those pointless posts!"

We strolled around for a full hour.

The shopping cart was overflowing.

Meat, vegetables, seasonings, and two large boxes of Want Want milk that Jiang Ruyue insisted on buying.

The checkout area is just ahead.

You need to walk through a long corridor.

Both sides of the aisle were filled with all sorts of colorful glass bottles.

Beverage section.

Li Mengmeng, who was pushing the cart, stopped.

She didn't say anything, but her feet seemed rooted to the spot, and she couldn't move an inch.

His eyes were fixed on the row of red wines and spirits on the shelf.

The abacus beads in her mind were practically falling onto Bai Li's face.

Eating plain rice is so boring.

Without alcohol, how could his scheming plans proceed smoothly?

Pretending to be drunk, she pounced on him, feigning reluctance while simultaneously welcoming him.

This is a classic trope in idol dramas.

As long as Bai Li gets to drink a few sips of wine...

No, even just creating a slightly tipsy atmosphere makes things exceptionally simple.

Even if that clueless high school student is there, I can still use my drunkenness to make things difficult and force the issue!

Li Mengmeng secretly swallowed.

Jiang Ruyue, who was standing next to her, also stopped.

She stood with her hands behind her back, tiptoed, and looked at the flamboyantly packaged bottle of whiskey at the very top of the shelf.

She doesn't understand wine.

But she knew that when the head of student affairs cracked down on early romantic relationships, he would always bring up drinking and smoking.

This is standard equipment for delinquent teenagers.

It is a forbidden area that good students can never touch.

Caught in the middle, Bai Li looked at the legal loli on her left with her face saying "I'm going to do bad things," and then at the aloof girl on her right with her eyes sparkling with "I'm going to learn to be bad."

He reached up and touched his nose, tentatively asking, "Would you like...some alcohol?"

"want!"

"purchase!"

The two voices spoke in unison, their tacit understanding rivaling that of crosstalk performers on the Spring Festival Gala.

Bai Li was startled by the uniform volume of their voices and looked at the two women in surprise.

Why react so strongly when you're just buying alcohol?

Jiang Ruyue couldn't hold back any longer.

She grabbed Bai Li's trench coat sleeves with both hands, shook them twice, and gave him a perfectly justified reason:

"Bad kids should drink! I want to learn how to be rebellious."

This logic is absolutely flawless.

When a well-behaved girl is determined to go astray, any normal advice will become an obstacle to her rebellious endeavors.

Bai Li was in a real bind.

I do have a very wild side when I hang out with those sexy girls.

But corrupting a pure and innocent female college student who has just turned 18 and whose mind is full of strange and wonderful knowledge is somewhat unethical.

"If your family smells the alcohol, you won't even be able to get through the front door," Bai Li tried to use a practical problem to deter her.

"I don't care, I don't care!" Jiang Ruyue began to show a side of herself that she had never shown before.

She clung tightly to Bai Li's sleeve, twisting and turning her body in a hardcore display of coquetry:

"Buy it for me! Buy it for me! Buy it for me!"
