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

……

Two hours later.

The battlefield has finally come to an end.

Lin Xiaoshuang lay in Bai Li's arms, too weak to even lift a finger.

His short, yellow hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to his forehead.

Zhang Qian lay sprawled on the other side, muttering all sorts of shameless nonsense under her breath.

Chen Tingting and Li Jiaxin leaned against the headboard, panting heavily, their faces flushed for a long time.

Bai Li leaned back against the soft cushions, feeling refreshed.

"this one?"

"There's not a single one who can fight..."

He turned his head and looked towards the foot of the bed.

Li Mengmeng remained in the same position where she had been held down.

Her face was flushed red, her legs were tightly intertwined, and her pink and white checkered apron was crumpled into a ball.

Bai Li looked over.

Li Mengmeng pouted, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Waaaaah..."

She crawled over on her knees and rested her head on Bai Li's lap.

"Brother Bai Li..." Her voice was extremely aggrieved, trembling with tears:

"Mengmeng knows she was wrong... Mengmeng will never dare to cheat again..."

She tilted her head back and rubbed her body against Bai Li's legs.

"I feel so suffocated..."

Bai Li reached out and ruffled her hair.

This girl has had enough of being punished.

"Do you really know you were wrong?"

Li Mengmeng nodded frantically:

"Okay, okay! Mengmeng is a puppy, and from now on, Mengmeng will listen to Brother Bai Li!"

Bai Li was about to take pity on her and teach her a lesson.

My phone, which was on the bedside table, suddenly vibrated.

The screen lights up.

The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.

Bai Li frowned slightly.

He picked up his phone and pressed the answer button.

"Feed?"

A slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello Mr. Bai, I am Xiao Wang, Mr. Xie's secretary."

Xie Tianyun's secretary?

Bai Li glanced at the several exhausted young women beside him and lowered his voice:

"What is it?"

"That's right, Mr. Bai," Xiao Wang said urgently.

"Miss Xie...she ran away from home!"

Bai Li was taken aback: "Run away from home?"

Didn't we just take her home at noon?

Xie Tianyun was still throwing a tantrum at the company entrance, threatening to kill himself, how come his daughter ran away in the blink of an eye?

"Yes. Mr. Xie had a big argument with her this afternoon, and even slapped her."

Xiao Wang sighed:

"Miss Xie is stubborn. She packed a few clothes, rode off on her motorcycle."

"It's almost dark now, and we still can't get through on the phone. Mr. Xie is so worried that his high blood pressure has flared up, and he's already been taken to the hospital."

"We've used all our connections to look for him, but we still haven't found him." Xiao Wang paused.

"Ms. Xie doesn't have many friends, so we'd like to ask... if she's visited you?"

Bai Li rubbed his temples.

This father and daughter are really a handful.

One is an old fogey, the other is a love-struck teenager going through a rebellious phase.

"No, she didn't come to my place," Bai Li replied decisively.

"Well... I'm sorry to bother you. If you have any news about her, please let us know as soon as possible."

hang up the phone.

Bai Li tossed her phone back onto the bedside table.

Where could Xie Lingmo have run off to?

The city is so big, it's really not safe for a girl to be wandering around outside in the middle of the night.

Bai Li sat up in bed.

Chen Tingting noticed his movement and forced herself to open her eyes:

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

"Lingmo has run away from home, I have to go out for a while."

Bai Li rolled out of bed and picked up the clothes on the carpet.

Li Mengmeng panicked and grabbed his leg, refusing to let go.

"But Mengmeng hasn't..."

Bai Li finished dressing and patted her cheek:

"Stay home obediently, I'll deal with you when I get back."

The little girl bit her lip pitifully, looking at him with pleading eyes.

Bai Li put on her shoes and grabbed her car keys.

I walked to the entrance hall on the first floor.

It was completely dark outside, and the streetlights were on.

He opened the door, and the night breeze brought a slight chill.

I walked toward the Panamera parked in the yard.

I just unlocked the car door.

boom--

A deafening roar of an engine came from outside the yard.

The screeching sound of tires rubbing against the ground pierced the night sky.

Bai Li turned her head.

A heavy motorcycle with its glaring high beams sped through the open gates of Genting Highlands, executed a beautiful drift, and came to a stop next to the Panamera.

The knight removed his helmet.

Her short pink hair danced in the night breeze.

Xie Lingmo straddled the motorcycle, wearing a black leather jacket and tight jeans that hugged her long, straight legs.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and there was a clear handprint on her cheek.

I saw Bai Li.

Xie Lingmo's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with tears:

"good friend……"

She hung her helmet on the handlebars and threw herself into Bai Li's arms.

"I'm homeless, please take me in?"

Bai Li looked at the young lady in his arms, who was crying her eyes out.

have to.

Trouble has come knocking on our door.

He sighed and patted Xie Lingmo on the back.

"Alright."

Bai Li put his arm around her shoulder: "Let's go inside first and talk."

He led Xie Lingmo into the villa.

I just pushed the door open.

At the top of the stairs on the second floor, Chen Tingting came out wearing a bathrobe.

Seeing Bai Li enter the room with Xie Lingmo in his arms, Chen Tingting raised her eyebrows.

"Hey, big brother." Chen Tingting leaned against the armrest, her tone teasing.

"Is this the legendary Miss Xie?"

Xie Lingmo lifted her head from Bai Li's embrace and saw Chen Tingting. Her aggrieved expression immediately disappeared.

She wiped away her tears, slightly raised her chin, and forced herself to appear as proud as before, suppressing her emotions.

"I'm here to see my boyfriend, is there a problem?" Xie Lingmo retorted without backing down.

Chen Tingting rolled her eyes.

"Boyfriend? Wasn't the mission over a long time ago?" Chen Tingting slowly walked down the stairs. "Besides, you've come at a really bad time."

Chen Tingting walked up to the two of them, her gaze sweeping over Xie Lingmo before finally settling on Bai Li.

"Our eldest brother just fed the four of us, and now he probably doesn't even have a drop of food left."

Chen Tingting leaned closer to Xie Lingmo, lowered her voice, and her tone was full of provocation:

Even if you come... you can only watch helplessly.

Xie Lingmo's face flushed bright red instantly, and she even forgot her sadness.

She turned to look at Bai Li, gritting her teeth.

"You...you just..."

Bai Li coughed twice and touched his nose.

This chaotic scene really came... completely unexpectedly.
