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

The next morning.

Bai Li opened his eyes, turned his head, and saw Li Jiaxin curled up in the quilt.

This usually fierce little wildcat was pressed against him with most of its body, its paws wrapped around his left arm.

Her purple hair was scattered messily on the pillow, and her big eyes were staring at him without blinking.

The two looked at each other.

"Why didn't you call me when you got up?" Bai Li reached out and brushed the stray hairs from her forehead.

Li Jiaxin shrank deeper into the blankets, burying her head in Bai Li's neck.

Warm breaths brushed against my skin, the sound as soft as a mosquito's hum.

"I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

Li Jiaxin bit her lower lip, her cheeks flushing:

"I'm afraid you'll wake up and then cry to me."

Bai Li was amused.

The girl finally gave in.

"Alright, I know what you mean."

Bai Li pinched her delicate chin, deliberately dragging out the last syllable of his teasing tone:

"Next time I want to see you alone, I'll prepare rice beforehand and bring it with me."

"Why, brother?" Li Jiaxin asked, looking up at him, completely bewildered.

"Because you're a bit mediocre."

Li Jiaxin was stunned for two seconds before she reacted:

"Hate!"

She yanked off the covers and lunged at Bai Li, grabbing his neck with her claws outstretched.

Before she could exert any force, Bai Li wrapped one arm around her slender waist, flipped her over, and pinned her down again.

The two rolled around on the large double bed, their laughter breaking the morning's tranquility.

After making a fuss for a while, seeing that it was getting late, the two of them finally put on their slippers and went into the bathroom one after the other.

I've finished washing up.

Li Jiaxin wore a loose black printed T-shirt and a pair of super short denim shorts, looking wild yet youthful.

As soon as the two stepped into the living room, the aroma of food wafted over.

Several young women were already sitting around the dining table.

Chen Tingting's striking red hair was casually tied into a high ponytail, and her short vest tightly hugged her four-quarter figure. Her tattooed arms were draped over the edge of the dining table as she put a fried egg into her mouth.

Sitting next to her was Lin Xiaoshuang, dressed in a knock-off JK uniform with white socks on her feet, sipping her porridge from a bowl.

Zhang Qian wore a nightgown with a very low neckline, and her blue hair was draped over her shoulders.

Seeing the two come downstairs, Zhang Qian was the first to greet them.

"Big brother, Jiaxin, wake up!"

Chen Tingting swallowed the food in her mouth and tapped the edge of the bowl with her chopsticks:

"Come and eat quickly."

"Great! This is quite a feast." Bai Li pulled out the chair in the main seat and sat down, glancing at the century egg and lean pork congee, fried eggs, and several delicate side dishes on the table.

"That's right."

Lin Xiaoshuang picked up a glass of water and pushed it across the table in front of Li Jiaxin, a mischievous smile on her face.

"We need to give Jiaxin a good boost. She was moaning so wildly last night, her voice must be hoarse. She should drink some honey water to soothe it."

These words were spoken.

Li Jiaxin's hand, which had just pulled out the chair, froze in mid-air.

The blush on her face hadn't completely faded when Lin Xiaoshuang teased her so bluntly in public, and she immediately became flustered.

"Xiao Shuang!" Li Jiaxin's eyes widened, and she made as if to pounce on him:

"If you say another word, I'll beat you up!"

"I'm telling the truth," Lin Xiaoshuang said, hiding behind Chen Tingting and peeking out to continue her provocation.

"If you don't believe me, ask Sister Tingting. We could hear it all clearly from next door."

"Shut up!"

The three energetic young women immediately started bickering around the dining table.

These girls, when they get together, are never short of fun.

Bai Li ignored their bickering and took a sip of porridge.

My gaze passed over the dining table and landed on Zhang Qian, who was engrossed in showing off her food.

"Qianqian." Bai Li swallowed the porridge in her mouth.

"Shall we pack up and get ready to go to your aunt's house?"

Zhang Qian mentioned yesterday that the toys she bought for her aunt's daughter had arrived, and she planned to go back and check on them today.

Logically, she should be happily packing her things right now.

Zhang Qian stopped holding the chopsticks.

She chewed more slowly, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then looked up.

His eyes, hidden beneath his blue hair, seemed somewhat evasive.

"My aunt said..." Zhang Qian stammered, her fingers nervously tapping the table:

"Tell me not to go back anytime soon."

"I don't know why..."

She secretly glanced at Bai Li's expression, and seeing that Bai Li was not impatient, she lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

"I asked her why, but she didn't tell me. Sorry, bro."

Given her insecure and somewhat inferior nature, she always tends to take the blame upon herself first when something happens.

Bai Li put down her chopsticks, her tone calm:

"What are you apologizing for? Honestly."

He picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth and looked at Zhang Qian.

"Okay, let's wait a couple of days. I'll go accompany Ruyue to Wenxian for her exam first."

"After you finish your exams, no matter what, we'll go visit your aunt. If there's anything I can help with, I'll do it for your family as well."

His words showed absolutely no intention of complaining about the trouble.

In his eyes, his woman's affairs were his own business, and spending some money or using some connections was no big deal in Yunshi.

Zhang Qian raised her head.

Her previously dim eyes regained some light, and her blue hair swayed with her movements.

"Um!"

She nodded vigorously, as obedient as a stray cat receiving affection from its owner.

"Big brother, you're so kind!"

"Alright, why are you being so polite with me?"

Bai Li waved his hand, urging everyone to continue eating.

Breakfast ended amidst laughter and conversation.

Li Jiaxin, Chen Tingting, and Zhang Qian quickly cleared away the dishes and carried the plates to the kitchen.

Bai Li leaned back in his chair and took out his phone.

I opened the bank app and glanced at the balance of over 11 million yuan in my account.

The system offers a daily investment limit of 4,000 yuan. With a 100x return, you can earn a net profit of 400,000 yuan per day.

Why not take advantage of this opportunity?

Since everyone's in a good mood right now, why not just use up all the credit limit?
