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

"Alright."

"Those little black guys are probably much less happy in real life."

"You're only making yourself miserable by paying attention to them."

Bai Li looked at Xie Lingmo and softened his tone:

"If you don't want to go home, you can stay here as long as you like."

He paused, then gave the most effective advice:

"Even if Lao Xie comes knocking on your door one day, I'll protect you. I'll talk to him."

Xie Lingmo knew the weight of those words better than anyone else.

If someone else says that, they're just bragging.

But when Bai Li says something, it's true.

Zhao Donghai, the top official in Yunshi, was an incredibly powerful figure.

Even her father, Xie Tianyun, had to be mindful of others' attitudes if he wanted to invite them to a meal.

But what about in front of Bai Li?

Zhao Donghai not only obeyed his every word, but even called him "Young Master Bai" repeatedly, showing him more filial piety than a biological grandson.

With such a powerful figure as his subordinate, even his own father, a dragon crossing the river, would have to obediently coil up before the Heavenly Palace at the top of the clouds.

"I knew you were the best!"

The gloom in Xie Lingmo's heart was swept away.

She burst into laughter through her tears, opened her arms wide, and threw herself into Bai Li's embrace.

She wrapped her arms tightly around Bai Li's waist, greedily inhaling the unique scent that made her feel at ease.

The grievances I felt from the malicious comments online and the heartache of being slapped by my father were all soothed.

Just as she was enjoying the warmth of Bai Li's embrace, another soft body squeezed in next to her.

His body carried the scent of books and ink, and smelled very cool.

Xie Lingmo looked down.

It really was Jiang Ruyue.

Her school uniform jacket slipped down halfway, revealing her fair, swan-like neck underneath.

"I can't take it anymore, you big slut..." Jiang Ruyue muttered softly as she tried to squeeze in.

"I can't hold back any longer. How can you be so tempting..."

She tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling:

"Let me kiss you, just one kiss."

Bai Li was caught in a pincer attack, which was a real headache.

"Get out of here."

Bai Li reached out and pressed Jiang Ruyue's forehead, pushing her away:

"Have you finished your homework?"

Jiang Ruyue's head was pressed down, and her hands were still flailing wildly in mid-air as she made a protesting sound.

Xie Lingmo's rationality returned instantly.

She withdrew her hand and bounced away from Bai Li's embrace.

What did I just do?

In front of several of their girlfriends, she threw herself into their man's arms!

She stood there somewhat awkwardly, her head lowered, her cheeks burning, her hands clasped in front of her.

Three seconds later, Xie Lingmo looked up at the girls:

"Um... I'm sorry..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tingting looked up, her face blank.

"What's wrong?" Chen Tingting raised her eyebrows:

Why are you suddenly apologizing for nothing?

Xie Lingmo quickly shook her head, pointed at Bai Li, and became increasingly guilty as she spoke:

"I was just... too excited, and I took advantage of your partner..."

She swallowed hard, cautiously probing:

"Aren't you all angry?"

"what?"

Li Jiaxin tossed her purple hair and waved her hand dismissively:

"I don't care, I don't think it's a big deal."

Li Jiaxin looked Xie Lingmo up and down twice:

"You two have never even eaten meat, all you do is hug and rub against each other. Why are we angry?"

Lin Xiaoshuang sat cross-legged, her short yellow hair swaying back and forth as she nodded.

She agreed in response:

"Exactly. And judging from your attitude, you'll most likely be sisters with us in the future, so why bother with these things?"

Xie Lingmo was completely dumbfounded after hearing these words.

Not only was she not angry, but she also implicitly agreed that she and Bai Li would be together in the future?

Why is it that these people's brain circuits are different from mine?

She muttered under her breath:

"What kind of Pokémon Master is Bai Li... to be able to train you all like this..."

But then she was stumped.

Because I always considered myself a good friend...

But after the first meeting, I couldn't control my heart and always wanted to mess with Bai Li.

This behavior made her feel guilty.

I am not pure enough.

Just as Xie Lingmo was deeply reflecting on her actions, Jiang Ruyue, who had been pushed aside, came over.

She reached out and poked Xie Lingmo's arm.

Stop pretending.

Jiang Ruyue spoke with certainty, her clear eyes seeing right through to the essence of things:

"Are you lusting after the pile driver's body?"

"No! I didn't!" Xie Lingmo, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, quickly waved her hands in denial and took two steps back.

"Just say you're craving it, there's nothing shameful about it."

Jiang Ruyue pouted, and the ahoge on her head swayed twice.

She actually started imparting her experience with great seriousness:

"Don't worry, he's very flirtatious and promiscuous."

Jiang Ruyue counted on her fingers, analyzing in a serious tone:

"Look, you're beautiful, have long legs, and are rich. Winning him over is practically a breeze."

"You just need to be more proactive. Sneaky into his bed at night when he's not looking, and you can directly..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Bai Li had already taken a step forward and covered Jiang Ruyue's small mouth:

"Shut up!"

"Don't spread rumors and ruin my image! I'm being philanthropic, not promiscuous!"

Jiang Ruyue's mouth was covered, and she could only make "woo-woo" protesting sounds, her big eyes full of indignation.

Xie Lingmo was completely bewildered by what she saw.

She threw herself into someone else's boyfriend's arms, her ulterior motives written all over her face.

These women not only didn't get angry, but some even offered tips and tricks?

but……

Xie Lingmo's gaze fell on Jiang Ruyue, and an even bigger question mark popped into her mind.

According to what Chen Tingting and the others just said, Jiang Ruyue has never eaten meat yet?

This girl has the face of a school beauty, the epitome of a first love, and she's also very young.

Moreover, he has that naturally naive and innocent contrast, making him seem so easy to fool, yet Bai Li didn't make a move?

Xie Lingmo's suspicious gaze swept back and forth between Bai Li and Jiang Ruyue.

Bai Liguang could tell from the look in her eyes what kind of nonsense was going through this pink-haired girl's mind.

He pressed Jiang Ruyue back into the chair in front of the desk and glared at Xie Lingmo with annoyance.

"Stop having those crazy thoughts."

Bai Li tapped the table, his tone unusually serious:

"Kisaragi hasn't graduated yet."

He patted Jiang Ruyue's head and declared his bottom line to Xie Lingmo:

"I won't take that step before she graduates."

"Although I am a womanizer, I am not an animal."
