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

After a long while.

Everything returned to calm.

Bai Li stretched his neck:

"I've done my mission well; I've got them all to sleep."

On the table.

Zhang Qianlan's hair was disheveled, half her face was pressed against the table, and one leg was hanging on the armrest of the chair. She was fast asleep.

Beside the stove.

Li Jiaxin's purple hair was loose, and her legs were curled up.

on the ground.

Lin Xiaoshuang and Chen Tingting hugged each other.

Only Li Mengmeng was the most persistent. This little girl lay on her side on the floor, hugging Bai Li's legs with both hands, and smacking her lips every now and then.

He bent down and gently pried Li Mengmeng's hands apart.

The little girl whimpered twice, turned over, and continued sleeping.

Afterwards, Bai Li went to the bathroom to wet a towel with hot water, and came back to wipe the sweat off each of them.

After helping them clean the sweat off their bodies.

Bai Li bent down and first picked up Li Mengmeng from the ground:

"It feels a bit heavy..."

I tucked the little girl into bed and covered her with the blanket.

Next were Lin Xiaoshuang and Zhang Qian.

When Bai Li lifted Li Jiaxin up, her long legs instinctively tried to wrap around her, but Bai Li slapped them against the base of her thighs.

"Behave yourself."

Finally, it's Chen Tingting.

I made five trips back and forth.

After settling this group of spirited young women who had extremely low combat power but loved to cause trouble.

Bai Li casually wiped her face with a towel:

"It smells so good..."

After finishing all the cleanup work, Bai Li originally planned to go back to her bedroom to rest.

However, as soon as he reached the door of the master bedroom on the second floor, he faintly heard strange noises.

Bai Li stopped in his tracks, his ears perked up.

"good friend……"

"You...you're so bad..."

Bai Li raised an eyebrow.

What's that pink-haired girl doing in her room so late at night instead of sleeping?

He moved to Xie Lingmo's door.

He raised his hand, bent his fingers, and tapped twice.

Thump, thump.

"Lingmo?" Bai Li asked.

The sounds in the room suddenly stopped.

Several seconds passed, but there was still no movement inside.

"Are you asleep?" Bai Li asked again.

A flurry of frantic rustling as the sheets were rummaged through.

Followed by.

"I'm asleep!"

Xie Lingmo's panicked voice rang out.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Bai Li asked with concern. "I just heard some strange noises."

There was silence from inside the door again.

Two full minutes passed before the sound of someone getting dressed could be heard.

Then came the sound of slippers stepping on the floor.

From far to near.

Click.

The lock was turned, and the door was pulled open a crack.

Xie Lingmo's head popped out.

Her pink hair was soaked with sweat, with a few strands sticking to her cheeks.

Her stunningly beautiful face was flushed.

Her large, watery eyes darted around, looking everywhere, but she dared not look directly at Bai Li.

But her voice was self-righteous:

"What are you doing!"

No matter how Bai Li listened, she felt embarrassed and angry.

Looking at Xie Lingmo's current state, it's immediately clear.

"I just heard you calling me."

Bai Li pretended not to know anything:

"What's wrong?"

Xie Lingmo's eyes widened in surprise, and she took a step back:

"I...I..."

Xie Lingmo stammered, her brain racing:

"I had a nightmare!"

She insisted:

"Yes! Nightmares!"

Bai Li continued, following her words:

"What kind of nightmare could call my name? And say I'm rotten?"

Xie Lingmo stamped her feet in frustration. Why did this person have to keep digging into the details?

"Because...because you were a bad guy in my dream, and you bullied me!"

Xie Lingmo argued illogically, pointing her finger at Bai Li's nose:

That's an insult!

"I...I hate you the most!"

The voice just fell.

A familiar mechanical voice echoed in Bai Li's mind.

[Xie Lingmo's affection value increased by 10, current affection value: 74.]

Bai Li listened to the notification sound in his head.

Then she looked at the pink-haired girl in front of her who had just said, "I hate you the most."

He was secretly laughing his head off.

This girl is actually a bit arrogant?

74 points of affection.

This is an admiration that has reached the point of possessiveness.

Bai Li didn't say anything, but took a step forward and braced his foot against the door frame.

Xie Lingmo was startled and crossed her arms over her chest, like a frightened little rabbit:

"Don't do anything reckless! I'm warning you, Old Deng just left, I can call him back anytime!"

This threat is weak and harmless.

Bai Li lowered his head and brought his face closer to hers.

Smack~

"So damn cute."

Bai Li chuckled softly:

"Get some rest. The bad guy needs to go back to sleep."

After saying that, he released his grip and turned around.

He casually pushed open the door to the master bedroom next door and went inside.

The door closed.

The corridor returned to silence.

Xie Lingmo maintained the posture of gripping the door frame with both hands.

I was stunned for a full five minutes.

She slowly raised her hand and touched the cheek that had just been kissed.

The warmth of the white ash still lingered on it.

Xie Lingmo blinked and murmured to herself:

"I just..."

"Wasn't I insulting him?"

"What's he so happy about?"
