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

Bai Li opened her mouth, about to say that she actually didn't plan to go.

Before she could even utter a word, Xie Lingmo had already stood up from her seat.

She swayed and grabbed Bai Li's sleeve, hanging on his arm, her cheeks burning red, her words muffled.

"Go...go quickly..."

Xie Lingmo dragged Bai Li toward the door, her steps unsteady.

"Let's go sleep on the big waterbed..."

Bai Li was pulled so hard that he stumbled and turned to look at the three people in the private room.

Tao Hua and Wen Yiming reacted very quickly.

The two people jumped up from the sofa and pulled the doors of the private room as wide as possible, as if they wanted to lay out a red carpet.

Wen Yiming pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses that were tilted on the bridge of his nose, waved his hand, and his face was full of satisfaction that "the great thing has been accomplished".

"Brother Bai Li, go ahead! We have a personal driver here. If you've had too much to drink and can't drive, just let us know!"

Tao Hua patted her chest and chimed in, "Yes, yes, I'll be there whenever you call!"

Bai Li's lips twitched as he watched the two people, the emperor and the eunuch, who seemed more anxious than the emperor.

The enthusiasm of these two is comparable to that of a matchmaker.

However, he doesn't actually need a driver.

The physical attributes granted by the system had already completely metabolized the alcohol in my blood half an hour ago.

"No need, I'm not drunk."

Bai Li reached out to steady Xie Lingmo, who was swaying precariously beside him, and nodded towards the private room.

"Thank you for your hospitality today. I'll treat you to a meal another day."

Wen Yiming waved his hand: "Don't mention it! It's Xie's treat, just take good care of him!"

Wang Yiqing sat in his seat, resting his chin on his hands, watching Xie Lingmo cling to Bai Li like a koala, his eyes filled with emotion.

"Seeing Lingmo so happy makes me feel relieved."

She spoke sincerely when she said this.

Xie Lingmo has been introverted since childhood and suffers from depression, which worries the other girls.

Now that she has found someone willing to protect her, Wang Yiqing is genuinely happy.

After expressing his feelings, Wang Yiqing turned his head and his gaze fell on Tao Hua, who was huddled in the corner of the sofa.

"Let's go."

Wang Yiqing stood up, picked up his bag, and beckoned to Tao Hua with his finger.

"We'll go to your hotel later too."

Tao Hua's face immediately fell.

"Huh?" He chuckled dryly, his fingers unconsciously starting to rub the seams of his pants. "Yiqing, I've been playing with my prayer beads lately... my wrists have been sore, could you perhaps..."

"Can you do what?"

"Could we... just sleep in each other's arms tonight? Just cuddling?"

What do you think?

I don't think so.

Tao Hua's voice grew softer and softer.

Wang Yiqing had already grabbed his hoodie collar and was pulling him toward the door.

The sounds of their arguing, pushing and shoving each other, drifted down the corridor and faded into the distance.

"You mentioned last time that you were tired of handling your prayer beads..."

"That time it was for real..."

"The time before last, you said you had a cold..."

"That time it was for real too..."

"Momoka, are you even capable?"

"Keep your voice down!!"

The sound completely disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Bai Li shook his head and helped Xie Lingmo out of the private room.

Walk through the softly lit corridor, pass through the lobby, and push open the main entrance of Yunshi Hotel.

A gentle night breeze was blowing.

Xie Lingmo had drunk quite a bit, and now she was walking unsteadily.

She lay sprawled on Bai Li, her legs, encased in white silk, taking steps alternately, but she had completely lost her sense of direction, veering two steps to the left every three steps.

"Well……"

Xie Lingmo raised her head and squinted at what was in front of her.

The night wind tousled her short pink hair, with a few stray strands clinging to her cheeks, making her small face appear both red and soft.

"Bai Li..."

"Um."

"The road keeps shifting."

"The road hasn't been moved."

"It's moving." Xie Lingmo wrinkled her nose and pointed forward earnestly. "Look, it's swaying."

"That's you shaking."

"It wasn't me." Xie Lingmo shook her head, but felt even more dizzy afterward, and her whole body tilted to the right.

Bai Li reacted quickly and grabbed it.

After she was pulled back, she instinctively hugged Bai Li's waist tightly, buried her head in his chest, and said in a pitiful voice.

"Hurry up and straighten the road..."

Bai Li looked down at the drunken cat in his arms.

Her pink hair brushed against her chin, making it ticklish.

She had unzipped her windbreaker halfway, revealing the neckline of her white undershirt underneath.

This girl is really cute...

Bai Li continued to hold her as they walked towards the parking lot.

After taking a few steps, Xie Lingmo's hand slid down from Bai Li's waist and groped to grab his hand.

She interlocked her ten fingers and gave a satisfied "hmm".

"My best friend's hands... are so warm."

Then she raised her head and stared at Bai Li's profile for a long time with hazy, drunken eyes.

"My best friend is so good-looking."

"Okay, thank you."

"I'm serious."

"I'm also sincerely thanking you."

Xie Lingmo was not satisfied with the answer, and pouted as she leaned closer to Bai Li.

"good friend."

"Um."

"I'm so happy today."

"Um."

"I'm so happy." Her voice trailed off, almost to herself, "They all saw you...they all know you're my boyfriend..."

Bai Li couldn't resist teasing her and whispered, "It's fake."

Xie Lingmo either didn't hear it, or she didn't care even if she did.

She hugged Bai Li's arm, pressed her face against it, and mumbled something.

"They used to make fun of me... saying I was destined to never get married..."

"Not anymore."

Xie Lingmo grinned, her eyes crinkling into crescents, revealing two small tiger teeth.

A beauty that could topple kingdoms and cities.

Bai Li finally couldn't resist and pinched Xie Lingmo hard on the back.

"Eek," Xie Lingmo trembled.

Her voice was soft and trembling, like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on:

"My friend...it hurts..."

Her hands gripped Bai Li's collar tightly, but she buried her face in his chest and refused to lift it, her voice muffled.

After a few seconds, she spoke again, seemingly to herself.

"I know..."

"Um?"

"It's not just holding hands and kissing..." Xie Lingmo's voice was muffled, with a heavy nasal tone and the smell of alcohol, "Whatever my good friends do to me... is normal..."

Bai Li looked down at the pink head resting on her chest.

The streetlights shone from behind, making Xie Lingmo's ears glow bright red.

Just as Bai Li was pondering whether these words were drunken ramblings or the truth.

Xie Lingmo raised her head.

She hugged Bai Li's neck tightly and hung on him.

The smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of cherry blossoms emanating from her body wafted towards me.

Bai Li's succubus scent was emanating simultaneously, the two scents intertwined, making the air feel ambiguous.

Xie Lingmo leaned close to Bai Li's ear.

Her lips brushed against his earlobe, her breath tickling his earlobe, sending shivers down his spine.

The voice was very soft, so soft that only two people could hear it.

But every single word is quite interesting:

"But... now, on the street..."

"Don't go into the grassy area yet..."

She paused, a soft, alluring sound escaping her throat:

"Let's wait until we get back to the hotel's big waterbed..."
