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

He opened WeChat and found a group chat with four young women.

Without any further words, they transferred 10,000 yuan to each person directly.

Then, he typed a few words and sent them.

"I woke up with my left eye open first today, so I'm in a good mood. I'll give each of you 10,000."

One second later.

The kitchen echoed with the crisp sound of plates being slammed against a glass counter, accompanied by the girls' gasps of surprise.

Li Jiaxin was the first to rush out of the kitchen, pounce on the back of the chair behind Bai Li, and give him a big kiss on the cheek.

Holding her phone, Chen Tingting's red hair flew in the wind as she excitedly jumped up and down on the spot.

"Long live the big brother! He just gave us ten thousand yesterday, and here's more today!"

She waved her floral arms excitedly, making gestures in the air.

"I can't spend it all! I simply can't spend it all!"

Although Li Jiaxin and the others had gotten used to Bai Li's sudden money transfers.

But they never forgot to provide Bai Li with emotional support.

Bai Li sat in the chair, letting Li Jiaxin hug her neck.

His phone screen lit up.

[400000 yuan has been deposited into your savings card with the last four digits of the account number.]

Looking at the notification of the income, Bai Li shook his head.

They received a total of 40,000 yuan from the four of them, but since the daily investment limit was only 4,000 yuan, the system only calculated the rebate based on the 4,000 yuan amount and directly returned 400,000 yuan.

After deducting the 40,000 that was given out, I still made a net profit of 360,000.

He stared at the fluctuating numbers in his account and muttered to himself:

"I simply can't possibly spend all of this..."

Lin Xiaoshuang, who was about to take away Bai Li's water cup, moved closer.

"What?"

Lin Xiaoshuang tilted her head, her yellow hair hanging down her cheeks, and didn't quite hear what he had just said.

Bai Li did not answer.

His gaze fell on her ridiculously short knock-off JK skirt, and he raised his hand and slapped her hard across the back.

"ah!"

Lin Xiaoshuang let out a soft cry, covered her backside, and jumped to the side, her face flushed red.

"It's nothing." Bai Li stood up and clapped his hands. "You guys go wash the dishes. I'll call Ruyue."

As he spoke, he turned and walked toward the balcony.

Lin Xiaoshuang stood there, clutching the spot where she had been hit, pouting with dissatisfaction, staring at Bai Li's retreating figure:

"Hmph, my brother is really something!"

She stamped her foot and muttered a complaint:

"He touches someone's butt and then leaves, without caring whether the person is interested or not."

These words reached the ears of the others.

Chen Tingting grabbed Lin Xiaoshuang by the collar and dragged her into the kitchen:

"Stop fooling around here and come in to wash the dishes!"

"Do you think your ass is itchy? You expect your big brother to lick you like he licks Jiaxin and a bitch!"

"Tingting!!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiaxin and Zhang Qian, who had just put the bowls into the sink, immediately erupted in anger.

The two women, carrying plates covered in dish soap suds, stormed out of the kitchen, chasing after Chen Tingting and trying to smear the soap all over her.

"Who are you calling a bitch?!"

Zhang Qian, with her chest puffed out, charged ahead.

"Chen Tingting, you little brat, I'm going to tear your mouth apart today!"

Li Jiaxin was not to be outdone.

The three girls started chasing and playing around in the living room.

Bai Li had already walked to the balcony. Listening to the commotion inside, he turned around and glanced back.

These carefree girls always have so much energy.

He shook his head and chuckled, "What a rascal."

Pulling the sliding door to the balcony shuts out the noise from inside.

The morning air was a bit cool.

Bai Li opened his contacts, found Jiang Ruyue's name, and pressed the dial button.

The phone was answered after only two rings.

A clear, energetic voice immediately came through the receiver.

"What's wrong, you big stallion? Calling this morning?"

Bai Li was already used to her random nicknames and wasn't annoyed at all, so she got straight to the point.

"Pack your things, I'll take you to see the exam venue."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Jiang Ruyue's puzzled voice:

"Checking out the exam venue? Didn't you say you weren't going until tomorrow? Why are you going today?"

Her voice suddenly rose, and she accused him with righteous indignation:

"You liar!"

Bai Li was speechless.

He had kindly taken her to Wenxian County a day in advance to familiarize her with the area and spend some time alone together, but in the end, he was accused of being a liar.

"Take it or leave it!"

Bai Li was too lazy to explain to her, and directly used his trump card:

"You're not happy about spending one more day alone? Fine, don't go then, I'll stay home with the four of them."

This trick worked immediately.

Jiang Ruyue, who had just been making accusations, changed her tune at lightning speed without even a second's hesitation:

"I'll go! I'll go!"

Bai Li listened to her hurried and flustered movements, and then nodded in satisfaction:

"That's more like it."

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, muttered something under their breath, still maintaining that blank, human-machine demeanor, stubbornly sticking to their own logic.

"But I wasn't wrong either..."

Bai Li was so angry she laughed.

Standing on the edge of the balcony, looking at the scenery outside, I followed up on her question.

"Then tell me, who did I lie to?"

Jiang Ruyue cleared her throat and, in the most serious and innocent tone, said in a very earnest manner:

"You must have lied to your oregano, saying your hands were warmer than mine."
