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

"What nonsense are you talking about! Your uncle and aunt are still here!" Zhang Qian and Lin Xiaoshuang said in unison, their pretty faces immediately turning bright red.

Zhang Qian then kicked Chen Tingting hard under the table again.

Lin Xiaoshuang wished she could bury her head in the bowl of food.

Chen Tingting then realized what she had said and quickly hid the steamed bun, which could have been used as a weapon, behind her back.

Wang Xiulian stood to the side, at a loss for what to do, and coughed twice to try and smooth things over:

"This dough didn't rise properly; it's too hard. I'll take it to the kitchen and steam it again. The steam will make it softer."

Not long after.

The steamed buns were served again, and the family sat around the table to eat, the atmosphere becoming lively again.

Wang Xiulian ate a few bites of food, her gaze lingering on the four pretty girls, growing more and more pleased with them:

"Daughters-in-law, my workplace is hiring a few young girls to do typing jobs. They just need to know how to use a computer."

"Although it's not a formal job, it's easy and stable, so it's a respectable job."

Before the young women could reply, Bai Li, holding her bowl, quickly interrupted them.

"Mom, you don't need to worry about it." Bai Li picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and put it into Lin Xiaoshuang's bowl:

"I've recently been discussing with my friends about making short dramas together. Tingting and her friends are perfect for this."

"This line of work is lucrative and fun. Although it's tiring, you earn much more than at your workplace."

Upon hearing this, Bai Weiguo waved his hands repeatedly:

"Having a plan is enough."

"We older generations don't understand these trendy things of yours."

"Since you young people have your own ideas, go ahead and do them. Your mother and I won't interfere."

Feeling weak after a full meal.

Bai Li had eaten a lot of carbohydrates, and his brain was a little oxygen-deprived. He yawned and prepared to sneak back to his room to lie down.

As soon as he stood up, four pairs of fair and delicate hands reached out and grabbed the hem of his trench coat.

"Why are you running away? Let's play together tonight!" Chen Tingting's long red hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her impressive breasts swayed proudly beneath her tight-fitting clothes.

"This is our first official day moving into your big villa!"

Lin Xiaoshuang echoed, her petite 1.6-meter frame leaning against Bai Li:

"Exactly! They ate and ran away, that's so heartless!"

As Wang Xiulian cleared away the dishes, she looked at the young girls with a beaming smile:

"Youth is wonderful, so vibrant."

The voice just fell.

Wang Xiulian turned her head and glanced at Bai Weiguo lightly.

Old Bai was sipping his tea when he was stared at by this gaze, and he felt a chill run down his spine and a sense of unease creeping over him.

[Oh no! The kidneys are in danger!]

"Old Bai, stop drinking, let's go home." Wang Xiulian took off her apron, grabbed Bai Weiguo's sleeve, and pulled him outside.

Bai Li quickly urged him to stay: "Why bother going back so late at night? There are plenty of rooms at home, it's not like we can't find a place to sleep."

"Sleep? What sleep?" Wang Xiulian glared at her son. "You young people are all hanging out together so late at night. It's annoying for me, as the parent, to stay here. Besides, your dad has important business to attend to tonight."

"Is it serious business?" Bai Li was completely confused.

Bai Weiguo clung tightly to the doorframe, his face, weathered by years of wind and sun, now contorted into a bitter grimace.

"Honey, I made plans with Lao Li today; I want to go fishing."

"No, let's go tomorrow." Wang Xiulian tightened her grip.

"I just bought a Bodhi seed bracelet today, and I want to string it together in the garage!" Old Bai struggled desperately.

"no."

"Xiulian, I've been working too much overtime at the factory lately and I'm not feeling well. I'm so mentally exhausted, I really can't take it anymore." Bai Weiguo was on the verge of tears, his voice trembling with sobs.

Wang Xiulian reached out and grabbed Lao Bai's ear, spinning him 180 degrees:

"Stop making excuses for me! What did you say when you were courting me?"

When my mom's temper flares up, she immediately digs up all the old stories:

"You're young, unlike other sycophants. They might have money but not necessarily spend it on me, but you'll definitely put your energy into me."

Bai Weiguo grimaced in pain, his facial features contorted in agony.

"That...that's all ancient history, decades ago. I'm not a young man anymore!"

"I don't care, I have to be at work tonight!"

Bai Weiguo turned back in despair, craning his neck to plead for help from his son:

"Son! Save me! Quickly talk to your mother! Otherwise, your own father will disappear!"

Bai Li crossed his arms and leaned against the shoe cabinet in the entryway, putting on a helpless expression.

When I was getting beaten up, you were hiding behind the bushes, secretly trying not to laugh. You must have been having a blast.

What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.

Should!

"Dad, thank you for your trouble." Bai Lichong waved to his father.

Before leaving, Wang Xiulian turned back and repeatedly reminded her four daughters-in-law:

"Xiaoshuang, Qianqian, remember this. If you ever suffer any injustice, or if this kid is too stubborn for you to handle, just call me, and I'll come over and give him a good beating!"

The door was slammed shut.

Bai Li awkwardly touched his nose.

The omnipotent and all-powerful tycoon persona he had built up in front of his younger sister was about to collapse after his mother's meddling. Today, he suffered a complete defeat.

With the elders gone, the atmosphere in the villa relaxed.

The four girls went to the bathroom on the third floor to wash up.

After they dried their hair, they all rushed into Bai Li's huge master bedroom.

These young women are already quite young, and their bodies are full of fresh, tender energy.

Lin Xiaoshuang was wearing a tight-fitting tank top, her blonde hair was loose, and her grandfather's wife was petite and cute;

Li Jiaxin exudes a wild and cool vibe, her purple ponytail giving her a chic and sassy look;

Chen Tingting has a tongue piercing; she's hot and daring.

Zhang Qian's striking blue hair, incredible figure, and love-starved personality make her even more eye-catching.

"Happy, big brother, let's have a heart-to-heart talk." Lin Xiaoshuang rolled over, her soft, baby-faced cheek pressed against the sheets.

"My brother's parents are so kind. During dinner just now, I felt like I was dreaming. It was so heartwarming."

Li Jiaxin sighed, "I haven't seen my parents for several years."

Chen Tingting lay on her back, staring at the ceiling:

"It's the same in my family. They clearly said they would come back for the Chinese New Year, but they didn't even make a single phone call on New Year's Eve."

A lack of love is a common problem among these young women.

Their parents, struggling to make a living, left them to fend for themselves in a small county town, forcing them to mingle in society at a young age and pick up the rough edges of life, all to mask their deep-seated anxiety.

The small favors and emotional support Bai Li usually gave them were like a timely rain after a long drought.

Bai Li looked at these girls who were usually arrogant and domineering outside, but now looked like wounded kittens, and gave them serious advice, which was rare for him.

"Although the New Year is over, you should still take some time to go home tomorrow and visit your families," Bai Li advised.

The girls exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison.

"No." Chen Tingting bit her lip. "We've decided. We'll earn our own money and then go back. We'll make sure everyone loses their heads."

"It means to stand out from the crowd," Lin Xiaoshuang muttered to herself, correcting him.

Seeing how determined they were, Bai Li didn't continue.

The topic then turned to Zhang Qian.

"I don't even have grandparents." Zhang Qian raised her head, her blue hair slightly disheveled.

Normally, Chen Tingting and the other two girls would play together. Zhang Qian only became familiar with them because of the Chinese New Year. They had no idea about Zhang Qian's background before.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Zhang Qian laughed self-deprecatingly: "I have no family. My old home was like hell; there was absolutely no warmth in it."

Hearing this tragic story, Chen Tingting was stunned for a moment.

This red-haired woman is usually very blunt, but now she's really lost her mind:

"Then how about... you try doing live streaming?" Chen Tingting suggested with a serious expression. "The live stream is full of family."

"Get out!" Zhang Qian grabbed a pillow and smashed it hard on Chen Tingting's head.

The atmosphere eased somewhat after this interruption.

After making a fuss for a while, it was getting late.

The three women had originally planned that since it was their first night in the hotel, they would stay in the master bedroom and sleep together under the same covers.

But seeing Zhang Qian's lonely and loveless eyes, Lin Xiaoshuang took the lead in getting out of bed.

They decided to make way and leave Zhang Qian alone here, because at this moment, Zhang Qian needed Bai Li's company more than any of them.

"It's late, let's go to the guest room to sleep." Lin Xiaoshuang tugged at Li Jiaxin's arm and walked quickly outside.

Chen Tingting also tactfully followed, and thoughtfully closed the door behind her.

Only Bai Li and Zhang Qian remained in the master bedroom.

Zhang Qian crawled over using both hands and feet and hugged Bai Li tightly around the waist.

Bai Li put one arm around her smooth shoulder and gently comforted her, "From now on, this will be your safe haven."

Zhang Qian buried her face in Bai Li's chest, extremely happy.

"I understand." Her voice choked with emotion, filled with immense satisfaction. "Ever since that class reunion, I've been completely devoted to you. As long as I'm by your side, I'm happy."

Bai Li stroked her long blue hair, and the temperature between them began to rise.

The phone screen on the bedside table lit up.

buzz-

A text message popped up.

Jiang Ruyue: [I've been practicing the piano until now and they're finally letting me rest! My fingers are about to break! I'm exhausted!]

Bai Li picked up her phone, looked at the complaints sent to her on the screen, and casually typed a reply.

This girl is really being exploited by her family.

Zhang Qian nestled in Bai Li's arms, her gaze fixed straight ahead, taking in the entire text message exchange.

She blinked, and that touch of sadness was immediately replaced by a strong sense of territoriality.

Good guy.

That seemingly innocent and harmless girl actually started chatting with the older brother, and is still sharing her daily life here in the middle of the night!

It seems the eldest brother has quite the charm.

But...

Zhang Qian licked her lips, her gaze traveling down Bai Li's chest.

Jiang Ruyue was ultimately just a clueless little kid.

Even if she's a great conversationalist, she can't match my skills!

Being with my older brother wasn't just for show; it was a lot of training.

What tricks haven't I learned to make Bai Li devoted to me?

But what use is it for a little girl like her, a flower in a greenhouse, to search for all the theoretical knowledge online?

Zhang Qian's eyes sparkled, and strands of blue hair slid down her shoulders.

She flipped over and straddled him, her fair and taut waist displaying amazing flexibility.

A young, energetic body pressed close, and she perfectly captured the contradictory qualities of wildness and submission.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently covered the phone screen where Bai Li was typing.

Bai Li raised her eyelids and met Zhang Qian's alluring eyes.

"Big Brother..." Zhang Qian's voice was hoarse and strained, her body limp as she leaned down, her warm breath brushing against Bai Li's earlobe, teasing him relentlessly.

"Stop worrying about useless things. It's such a beautiful night, spend more time thinking about your loved ones..."
