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

"Oh……"

Jiang Ruyue knew she was in the wrong and responded softly.

Bai Li was too lazy to argue with her, so she reached out and picked up the backpack from the hook on the front of the little yellow duck electric scooter.

The bag was stuffed full and quite heavy.

Bai Li tugged at her backpack:

"Have you packed everything you need?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruyue instantly perked up.

The grievance I felt earlier vanished instantly.

Her eyes gleamed with a desire for praise:

"Take them all!"

She counted the dishes on her fingers, reciting them to Bai Li as if they were her most treasured possessions:

"Sexy lingerie, aromatherapy diffusers, low-temperature candles, and even a small red leather whip—they were all stuffed inside!"

The four energetic young women standing nearby looked at each other in bewilderment.

Jiang Ruyue was completely unaware that something was amiss.

She leaned forward, tilted her head back, and blinked her eyes as if seeking praise:

"That's not all."

"I've also booked the love hotel closest to the exam venue in advance."

"The kind with a waterbed, you can bounce around on it at night, it's super fun!"

"Praise me, praise me! Aren't I reliable?"

next second.

"Duang~!"

Bai Li, his face dark, gave her another hard flick on the forehead.

"What kind of utter nonsense is going on in your head?!"

Bai Li pointed at the pink backpack and scolded it with exasperation:

"Do you think this is a honeymoon or a film shoot?"

"That's an entrance exam! An exam that concerns your future, my little darling! Don't you know what you're there for?!"

The more he talked, the more his head ached. He rubbed his temples and gave a firm order:

"Now! Immediately! Right now! Take out your phone and cancel that lousy waterbed room, and get a regular standard room or a double room instead!"

"If we get to Wenxian and I find out you didn't book a proper hotel..."

"You can go to the exam hall yourself, wearing sexy lingerie and carrying your whip!!!"

Jiang Ruyue's eyes welled up with tears, and she gasped in pain, weakly protesting:

"Waaah... I took... my exam admission ticket, 2B pencils, black pen, ID card... I put them all in the hidden compartment..."

Seeing that she had brought all the proper stationery, Bai Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He carried his backpack and Jiang Ruyue's backpack together as he walked towards the Panamera.

I opened the back door and threw the bag inside.

Turning around, Bai Li gestured with his chin towards Jiang Ruyue:

"Get in the car. Go there early to familiarize yourself with the environment and the exam venue, so you'll have a better understanding of the situation."

"Okay!"

Jiang Ruyue immediately changed her expression, completely forgetting about the beating she had just received.

She ran over happily, opened the car door, and climbed into the passenger seat with lightning speed.

Bai Li didn't rush to get in the car.

He turned to look at the four girls standing to the side.

Li Jiaxin wore hot pants, revealing a section of her wild tattoo;

Chen Tingting chewed gum, one hand in her pocket;

Lin Xiaoshuang obediently pinched the hem of her skirt;

Zhang Qian leaned against the pillar and watched him.

"I'll drive my Panamera there."

Bai Li took out his car keys, waved them, and gave instructions about things at home:

"If you need to go out and use a vehicle these next few days, just ride Ruyue's electric scooter."

"If you find it too crowded or too slow, just call the property management and ask them to send that Coaster bus to pick you up."

He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the girls who, by no means, seemed capable of taking good care of themselves.

"Take good care of yourselves while I'm gone for the next couple of days."

Bai Li was like a worried old father:

"Stop staying home all day ordering those mindless takeout meals."

"Go out and stroll around, buy some nice clothes, and eat at upscale restaurants."

The four energetic young women exchanged glances and tacitly dragged out their words.

"Okay, okay!" Li Jiaxin waved her hand.

"Big brother, why are you being so long-winded, like an old woman?"

Chen Tingting put her arm around Lin Xiaoshuang's shoulder and made a bold promise:

"Don't worry, bro! We're going out for a big meal tonight, six dishes and a soup!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Li felt somewhat relieved.

These girls are sensible; they know to improve their meals.

Before he could even utter a few words of praise, Zhang Qian excitedly chimed in with the second half of her sentence:

"Yes! That mala tang place on the corner just opened. Let's go get six dishes and an extra serving of noodles!"

Bai Li abruptly pulled back the foot that had just stepped out.

"That's freaking mala tang?!" Bai Li pointed at them, her anger flaring.

"Give me something healthier, please!"

The four girls didn't buy it at all.

Chen Tingting waved her tattooed arm at him impatiently:

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Lin Xiaoshuang stuck out her tongue: "We just love the strong flavors."

Li Jiaxin immediately reached out and pushed Bai Li's back towards the car door:

"Alright, alright, big brother, stop worrying about us poor, wretched people."

Zhang Qian chimed in, "Exactly! You two should go enjoy your time together, don't keep Ruyue from getting familiar with the exam venue!"

Bai Li was forcibly pushed into the driver's seat.

He reluctantly pulled on his seatbelt and buckled it.

He turned his head and his gaze fell on the passenger seat.

Jiang Ruyue sat upright, her hands neatly placed on her knees, her big eyes fixed on the outside of the windshield.

His expectant look was like that of a kindergarten student about to go on a spring outing.

Bathed in the morning sunlight, her innocent face revealed a touch of childishness and adorable naivety.

Bai Li stepped on the brake and pressed the start button.

The engine makes a smooth sound.

He rested one hand on the steering wheel, looking at the little darling beside him whose mind was full of whimsical ideas.

It goes without saying that this trip to Wenxian County will definitely not be peaceful.
