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

The boy walked alone on the street, like a walking corpse.

The scene in the restaurant kept replaying in my mind.

Jiang Ruyue, who was always aloof and never even bothered to look at him.

That aloof, pure white moonlight who was held in a pedestal by countless people at school.

So this is how people treat each other.

He had always considered himself her most loyal suitor.

He fawned over her, and when she scolded him, he happily found reasons to comfort himself, thinking it was the unique arrogance of a goddess.

After all that, it turns out I was just not qualified.

I'm her simp...

But in front of that man, she was even more of a simp.

They even went so far as to lick without any moral boundaries.

She wasn't born with a cold temper. When she meets someone she truly cares about, she'll lower herself and treat them with the same care and respect.

However, the person being worshipped can never be oneself.

The boy felt a little itchy in his nose.

He raised his hands and rubbed them together a couple of times, then turned his head to see his reflection in the glass under the streetlight.

His nose was so red from the cold that it looked like a red ball.

"hehe……"

The boy stared at his reflection in the glass, his lips moving dryly as he tried to speak.

So I was the clown after all.

The boy turned around and continued walking aimlessly, speaking to the air with a blank expression:

"fine."

"I'm not sad at all."

But the tears were completely out of my control, falling in streams onto the back of my hand.

"I'm not sad at all..."

Snapped!

Without warning, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face.

"Laugh! You son of a bitch, just laugh it off! Aren't you sad at all!"

A few young people who were out for a late-night snack happened to pass by.

Seeing this guy talking to himself and hitting himself so hard, they were so scared that they kept dodging him, as if he were a patient who had escaped from a mental hospital.

The boy didn't care about what others thought at all at that moment.

He put on a mask of pain and screamed at the top of his lungs in the street:

"elder brother!"

"You deserve to die!!!"

……

At this moment, inside the Yutian Barbecue Restaurant.

Bai Li pulled her hand away from Jiang Ruyue's grasp.

He leaned back in his plastic chair, glancing at Jiang Ruyue beside him who was still smacking her lips in remembrance, and teased her:

"What's wrong, Ruyue? You were so proactive just now, were you trying to sow discord between your classmate and me?"

Bai Li tapped the table with a crumpled piece of paper:

"Aren't you afraid he'll spread gossip about you everywhere?"

"At that time, your aloof school beauty persona will really collapse."

Jiang Ruyue effortlessly picked up her cup and took a sip of the large bottle of liquor, her pure and flawless features juxtaposed with her extremely arrogant tone:

"Who does he think he is!"

Jiang Ruyue's rosy lips opened and closed:

"In terms of family background, academic performance, and personal ability, how can he compare to me? Why should I avoid him?"

"We'll see."

Jiang Ruyue turned her head and looked at the energetic young women sitting in a row opposite her, engrossed in eating.

"Even if he dares to talk nonsense, I still have Sister Tingting and Sister Zhang Qian."

Jiang Ruyue rested her chin on her hands, looking charmingly naive.

"I'm not afraid at all!"

opposite.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tingting slammed her hand on the table.

"That's right!"

"If that four-eyed kid dares to gossip at school, I'll stake him out tomorrow."

Lin Xiaoshuang quickly swallowed the potato in her mouth and waved her little pink fist:

"I'm going too!"

Bai Li was at her wit's end watching these girls who instantly turned into violent freaks when it came to protecting their own.

Jiang Ruyue, on the contrary, enjoyed it.

She was very satisfied with this strong support team.

The big eyes rolled twice, and the human-computer interaction once again took over the high ground of intelligence:

"but……"

Jiang Ruyue tilted her head and looked at Bai Li:

"You mentioned putting eye drops on him, now I remember."

"In a sense, are glycerin suppositories considered eye drops?"

Bai Li's wrist twitched, and he almost spat the tea in his mouth onto Lin Xiaoshuang's face.

The young woman opposite him was also stunned for a second.

Zhang Qian sported a head of blue hair, her eyes gleaming with a sharp light:

"wipe."

Zhang Qian slapped her thigh:

"Following your logic, then a stepmother is, in a sense, a cross-dresser!"

The two met each other across the table.

A tacit understanding arose in the air.

Bai Li sighed deeply, utterly exasperated by these clowns.

He abruptly cut off the increasingly nonsensical conversation:

"Alright, stop joking around."

Bai Li looked at Jiang Ruyue and steered the conversation back on track:

"It's getting late. What time are you planning to go home today?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ruyue became anxious.

She grabbed the hem of Bai Li's trench coat and pressed her body against his legs.

"I'm not going home tonight!"

Jiang Ruyue drawled out the last syllable, then started acting like a rogue:

"I want to come to your house!"

Bai Li frowned slightly and refused outright:

"No way, if you don't come home at night, the house will be in chaos."

"Then I won't reply!"

Jiang Ruyue sullenly leaned back in her chair:

"And I'm not sleeping at Mengmeng's house tonight either!"

"Her snoring is so loud, it sounds like a tractor! I'm going to sleep at your house!"

Li Mengmeng, who had been eating shrimp with relish, couldn't stand it when she heard this.

The little girl tossed the shrimp shells onto the plate and straightened her back.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Li Mengmeng glared angrily at Jiang Ruyue, her voice no longer soft and sweet:

"It's clearly you who's snoring! And you're trying to shift the blame!"

"It's you!"

"It's you!"

Bai Li was caught in the middle, her ears ringing.

In fact, he had already figured out where to go tonight.

These past few days, I've been taking these four energetic young women to visit relatives in the countryside, and we've been together the whole time.

Moreover, before this, Bai Li had been the victim of their advances quite a few times.

Zhang Qian and Chen Tingting have now charged their devices more than 30 times each...

Then look at Li Mengmeng next to her.

Bai Li glanced at the system panel.

Li Mengmeng's charging count is pitifully stuck at "3".

I have to tutor the little girl tonight.

What's more, Li Mengmeng still has more than half of her JK uniforms in her closet that she hasn't unlocked yet.

Bai Li sat up slightly and pressed his hands down.

"Alright, stop arguing."

He made the final decision:

"Ruyue, you can sleep at my house."

"I'm going to sleep at your cute sister's house tonight anyway."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere fell silent.

Lin Xiaoshuang gripped her chopsticks, her eyes filled with resentment, but she dared not utter a sound.

Zhang Qian sighed inwardly.

Only Li Mengmeng's eyes lit up immediately.

The little girl's face, which had just been flushed, instantly blushed.

She lowered her head, her gaze fixed on her short legs encased in white stockings, her hands clasped together, her heart bursting with joy.

Is Brother Bai Li coming to my house tonight?

The semi-transparent nurse's uniform at home looks like it's been washed but hasn't been worn yet...

Li Mengmeng leaned shyly against Bai Li's shoulder and said softly:

"Then...then I'll go back and take a shower early."

Jiang Ruyue, sitting on the other side, was dumbfounded.

Go to Li Mengmeng's house?

Jiang Ruyue's mindset reversed in half a second.

"I was just kidding."

Jiang Ruyue blinked her innocent big eyes and uttered the most shameless words in a naive tone:

"How could I possibly dislike Mengmeng's snoring?"

"We're all sisters!"

Jiang Ruyue turned her head to look at the opposite side:

"I've decided, I'm sleeping at Mengmeng's house tonight too!"

Li Mengmeng:

"???"

Does this little brat have any shame?!
