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

His posture made anyone who saw him think he was about to throw a punch at someone.

Bai Li sat steadily on the sofa, too lazy to even lift her eyelids.

What a joke.

This is within the territory of the Dragon Kingdom.

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, he could easily take down this bluffing guy with just a few punches and kicks.

Besides, the fellow countrymen at the surrounding tables had already stopped rolling the dice, and several shirtless men had already picked up empty bottles.

Anyone who dares to bully their own people in this area will never leave this street.

Beside Bai Li, Chen Tingting held a Corona bottle in one hand, ready to make a move at any moment.

The girls didn't back down at all, staring at the black guys like protective mother leopard cubs.

Bai Li reached out and gently patted Chen Tingting's hand, signaling her to put down the wine bottle.

"That's what I mean, what's wrong, nee?" Bai Li clasped his hands on his knees, his tone calm, and he could spout lies without batting an eye.

"In our Dragon Kingdom, only those who sincerely reflect on themselves every day and possess an extremely high standard of living can be given this title."

Bai Li leaned forward, tapped his knuckles twice on the table, and earnestly tried to persuade him:

"This is also a respectful title, what's wrong, Nege?"

After listening to this well-reasoned explanation, Jiang Ruyue, who was holding a juice next to her, believed it to be true.

The Black guys were also stunned by this cultural export.

His charcoal-black complexion visibly softened.

Although he had his doubts and felt that Bai Li was lying, he couldn't find a way to refute her words.

"No way." The black guy rubbed his hands together, his tone softening. "Dude, you have to join us, please."

To drag Bai Li into this mess, he turned around and slapped Miao Miao's tight-fitting bodycon skirt hard, threateningly saying:

"Shout! Make a sound already! Aren't you always the one who loves to yell?"

Miao Miao was very quick to respond; without blushing or skipping a beat, she swayed her hips and moved closer.

"dad!"

This extremely shocking move disgusted Lin Xiaoshuang.

The little girl retreated repeatedly, hiding behind Zhang Qian, her soft voice full of disdain:

"Ugh! That's so shameless."

Bai Li hates it when people try to morally blackmail him. This kind of scumbag who tries to force himself on him just makes him feel disgusted.

Without even a second's hesitation, he decisively retaliated:

"Be good, don't be angry that Daddy killed your mother."

"Hurry up and take your boyfriend home, okay?"

The words had barely left his lips.

There was a three-second pause in the booth.

"Pfft—hahaha!" Chen Tingting laughed so hard she almost fell over, choking on her drink. She coughed violently, slapping her thigh, "Big brother, your mouth is so nasty! Don't fucking get angry! I give up!"

Li Jiaxin gave a thumbs up, her purple hair flying, and slapped the glass table with glee: "Well done! That counterattack was a decisive blow, let's see how she handles it!"

Lin Xiaoshuang clutched her stomach, collapsing onto Bai Li's lap, laughing so hard she could barely breathe: "Big brother is so naughty! What kind of father is this? I'm dying of laughter!"

The girls' unrestrained laughter was the greatest insult to Miaomiao.

Miao Miao's face, covered in thick foundation, alternated between pale and flushed, and she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a single word.

At this juncture.

A hoarse, trembling male voice came from the shadow of the black man's broad back.

"Goddess...? Didn't you just agree to be my girlfriend yesterday?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

A young man wearing a food delivery rider uniform walked over.

He was still clutching an old helmet in his hand, his knuckles turning blue from the force he was using.

The man's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Miao Miao, who was standing next to the black man.

"What...what did you mean by what you were saying just now?" His voice was filled with despair on the verge of collapse.

Bai Li slightly raised her eyelids.

Are there more experts?

So it turns out that this black man wasn't Miaomiao's boyfriend at all?

Is this the real victim finally showing up?

The delivery guy looked honest and unassuming, and even his questioning tone was tinged with humility.

Miao Miao glanced sideways and recognized the person who had come. She took out all the anger she had suffered at Bai Li's hands on this honest man.

She sneered and rolled her eyes with utter disdain:

"Stop trying to build a connection. I only agreed to play around with it yesterday because you gave me that new phone."

She flicked her freshly done manicure and announced triumphantly:

"Let's break up now, face to face. We have nothing to do with each other anymore!"

The honest man was pale, and the helmet in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, rolling far away.

"But..." He stumbled forward half a step, his voice completely hoarse, "I'm still paying off your new phone loan in installments!"

"What does that have to do with me?" Miao Miao backed away in disgust, crossing her arms. "You bought the phone of your own volition, no one's forcing you at gunpoint!"

This casual attempt to absolve himself of responsibility shattered the honest man's last defenses.

His already tired face was contorted with worry, veins bulging on his forehead, as he shouted accusations.

"I work three jobs every day! After work, I put on my uniform and deliver food, and I drive for Didi Chuxing (a ride-hailing service) late at night!"

"I can't even afford a boxed lunch that costs more than fifteen yuan a day, just so I can buy you those designer bags, the latest cell phone, and everything you want!"

Why are you doing this to me?!

The heart-wrenching questions echoed through the bar's corridor.

Miao Miao, however, turned her head away like an outsider watching a play, not even bothering to offer a perfunctory reply.

For gold diggers, a rich guy who has been exploited to the fullest extent of their value is not even worth as much as trash on the street.

The honest man, finding no one to turn to for help, turned and stared at the black guy watching the show.

"Didn't you know she had a boyfriend?" His eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were grinding together. "Why...why did you do such a despicable thing?"

Faced with this indignant accusation, the black man not only showed no remorse, but instead grinned with his thick lips, laughing heartlessly.

"It was entirely her own choice."

The black guy shrugged and spread his hands: "I just have a little quirk in that area. Besides, I haven't even touched her yet."

The delivery driver was so angry that he was breathing heavily, clenching his fists, and was about to lose his temper and rush forward to fight.

The black guy raised a thick, dark finger and shook it, then uttered a series of statements that shattered the common sense of morality.

"Dude, can you please use some logic?"

The black guy pointed at the honest man, then at himself, speaking with an air of self-righteousness.

"You like your girlfriend, and I like your girlfriend too. We're completely on the same page about this."

"Since we're in cahoots, why are you picking on me?"

The honest man stood there, frozen in place.

His hands clenched tightly, his teeth grinding together.

As it turns out, Li Miaomiao is the goddess of the poor and the scrotum of the rich.

In contrast, these young women are easily won over with just a bowl of spicy hot pot and a few flattering words.

He charged forward in the fight, his mind filled with thoughts of how to repay his elder brother.

The investment spirit of the young lady is the key, focusing on high cost-effectiveness and full of emotion.

Li Miaomiao noticed that the patrons at the surrounding tables were all pointing and whispering.

She was rejected after offering herself to him, and then her ex exposed all her past mistakes on the spot, completely humiliating her.

Her face flushed red, and she turned her attention to Bai Li, who was sitting in the middle.

"You don't actually think I like you, do you?" Miao Miao crossed her arms, her eyes practically rolling back in her head. "No way, no way!"

She looked Bai Li up and down, then let out a sneer:

"You're such a show-off. Do you really think that just because you have a few beautiful women around you, you're the star of the show?"

The words had barely left his lips.

The young women all raised their heads in unison.

Bai Li spread his hands:

"When I open my eyes, it's dawn; when I close them, it's darkness again." Bai Li looked directly at the other person and answered frankly, "If I'm not the protagonist, then who is?"

A decisive goal.

Miao Miao was speechless after being rebuked.

Her face flushed red and then pale, and she grabbed her black friend and turned to leave.

The honest man finally couldn't hold back anymore.

The hard-earned money earned by a designated driver delivering food late at night ultimately resulted in being cheated on and receiving a sarcastic remark.

"Leave?" The honest man's forehead veins bulged, and his voice cracked: "My money, do you think it's so easy to spend?!"

He grabbed the solid wood bar stool next to him, raised it above his head, and was about to smash it down on the back of the black man's head.

Bai Li reacted quickly, grabbing the chair leg and pressing it down.

Several security guards and passersby who were watching the commotion also gathered around and pulled him away.

"Brother." Bai Li snatched the bar stool away and threw it aside: "It's not worth wasting your whole life on this piece of trash, eating jail food every day."

The honest man, exhausted, collapsed to his knees on the floor covered in spilled liquor.

He was a grown man, and he covered his face with his hands and wailed loudly.

"What am I supposed to do?!" The honest man pounded his chest, tears and snot streaming down his face. "I can't even afford a meat bun every day; I've used it all to pay off her online loans. I'm so angry!"

He threw his head back and howled, "I can't breathe! I really want to die!"

There was complete silence all around.

His breakdown and outburst were so intense that even the heavy bass drumbeats around him couldn't drown it out.

Bai Li stood up and glanced at the two people standing confidently in the aisle.

"You can't kill them."

"But it's still okay to vent."

He turned his head to look at the other individual travelers who were already eager to try their luck:

"Everyone, tell me, is it right to stand up to this woman who's teaming up with outsiders to bully our fellow countrymen?!"

The people around waited a full ten minutes for those words to be spoken.

"Damn! I hate women like that the most!"

"I'm going first! I've been holding back for ages, and this black guy is an illegal immigrant, I have to fuck him!"

After saying that, everyone went up together.

At this moment, everyone's hearts were united.

"Go to hell!" Chen Tingting kicked the corner of the table, blocking Miao Miao's way back.

Li Jiaxin was even quicker; she rushed into the crowd, grabbed Miao Miao's hair, and forcefully pulled her out from behind the black guy.

Lin Xiaoshuang and Zhang Qian joined the fray without showing any weakness.

The young, spirited girl is all about speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness in a fight.

They grab your hair, pinch your thighs, and stomp on your feet with high heels, specifically targeting the most painful spots.

Seeing that someone was backing him up, the honest man rushed towards the black guy with red eyes.

Unable to defeat the big guy, he simply bit the other's arm with his teeth.

The scene was in complete chaos.

Miao Miao's cheap bodycon skirt was ripped open, her false eyelashes flew off and landed in some unknown corner, and her pig-like screams echoed through the corridor.

The bar security guards stood at a distance, pretending to call out into their walkie-talkies, but their steps were extremely slow.

At this moment, Ur-Ur-Ur-Ur also arrived, and after hearing the whole story, he also began to call out:

"Everyone, don't panic! Leave it to us. Oh crap, my body camera is out of battery!"

"Captain! My fully charged stun gun is nowhere to be found!"

"Hey, cleaning lady, why did you leave your broom on the floor too!"

"Please don't get agitated, everyone! If you find any of our stun guns, please return them!"

At this point, everyone was in complete chaos.

Seeing that Miao Miao's head had been slapped into a pig's head and the black guy's head had been turned into an afro by the electric shock, Bai Li clapped his hands.

"withdraw."

The maids reluctantly let go and followed Bai Li through the side passage to slip away.

...

Step out of the gates of Atlantis.

Jiang Ruyue followed Bai Li, her eyes sparkling, a blush of excitement on her cool little face.

"It's really interesting coming out with you!" Jiang Ruyue said crisply, her tone lively.

"In just a few hours, I've encountered so many amazing people and things. It's much more exciting than staying at home doing exam papers."

"I feel like I'm not emo at all anymore!"

Bai Li walked towards the Alphard parked by the roadside and opened the car door.

"It's just disgusting stuff." Bai Li gestured for the girls to get in the car. "Let's go home. We'll never come to this disgusting place again."

Upon hearing the word "home," Jiang Ruyue slowed her pace by half a beat.

In the past, I mostly interacted with Bai Li during the day.

This was the first time in her life she had spent the night at a man's house.

What's more, this man is a complete and ravenous wolf...

Jiang Ruyue fidgeted with the hem of her hoodie with both hands, biting her lip, her eyes brimming with barely suppressed anxiety.

Tonight, we'll be under the same roof. Is he going to swallow me whole, skin and bones, since I'm still a naive flower in the world?

Her heart was pounding wildly, and her cheeks flushed red all the way to her ears.

...

At the same time.

Half Moon Bay Villa Area.

The living room of the Jiang family was as bright as day.

Jiang's mother glanced at the clock on the wall.

The clock has already struck 2 a.m.

"Old Jiang, it's the middle of the night, and Ruyue hasn't made a sound. Not even a WeChat message." Jiang's mother put down her cup, looking uneasy. "She doesn't have a penny on her. I hope nothing bad has happened to her. Should we look for her?"

Jiang's father sat in the leather sofa, holding a magazine in his hand.

He turned a page, as steady as a mountain.

"What are you looking for?" Jiang's father said sternly. "Where could she, a student who has never lifted a finger, have gone? She can't even make any friends in this small county."

Jiang's father picked up the milk, took a sip, and looked completely confident.

"By tomorrow morning, when she's hungry and freezing outside, she'll naturally come back crying and knocking on the door to apologize."

"Then she'll realize that she's nothing without this family. She'll naturally be more obedient when practicing the piano from now on."

Jiang's parents boasted that they had the situation firmly under control.

They are still dreaming that their daughter will obediently come home and submit.

Unbeknownst to them, a certain white-haired blond man had already taken their precious daughter home...
