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

"Hey bro, what are you and Wang Wei whispering about?"

Zhang Qian and Li Mengmeng turned around and asked a question out of the blue.

"Ahem." Bai Li finished casting the spell, released his hand seals, and touched his nose. "It's nothing, just a normal chat."

Bai Li didn't give them a chance to ask further questions and turned to look at An Yaoyao.

After eating a can of Monster Energy and half a chocolate bread, the girl felt much better.

Bai Li pointed at An Yaoyao and said to Wang Wei:

"Her name is An Yaoyao. She's kind of a friend of mine. She came to visit me today, but we had a little disagreement."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wei immediately waved his hand.

"I get it, I get it." Wang Wei grinned mischievously and winked. "The kind of friend who can help you out, right?"

Before Bai Li could kick him, Wang Wei wisely jumped back two steps.

"Then I won't bother you any longer." Wang Wei turned around, waving goodbye with his back to them. "Going for a walk!"

Wang Wei strode out of the alley, whistling as he walked.

Bai Li watched the fat man's retreating figure and exhaled a smoke ring.

"Fatty's been acting a bit cheeky lately," Bai Li said, turning to Zhang Qian. "Should we dock some of his pay?"

Zhang Qian and Li Mengmeng exchanged a glance, nodded in unison, and said in unison, "Deal!"

Zhang Qian added, "Deduct half a month's salary from him, let's see if he still dares to talk nonsense."

The alleyway quieted down.

An Yaoyao held onto the edge of the bench with both hands and slowly stood up.

She brushed the dust off her skirt.

She walked up to Bai Li, closing the distance between them.

An Yaoyao raised her head and spoke to Bai Li, but her eyes were fixed on the telephone pole next to her.

"You... saved me again." An Yaoyao's voice was very soft and intermittent.

"Thank you... thank you."

Bai Li didn't reply.

An Yaoyao rubbed the corner of her clothes and continued:

"I'm so sorry to have bothered you today. I'll be going now..."

After saying that, she turned around and started walking towards the alley entrance.

My steps were still a little unsteady.

Bai Li watched her retreating figure.

This scene looks familiar.

Just now at the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top, that girl left a few words and turned to leave.

As a result, he didn't even walk two kilometers before collapsing on the road.

"Why don't you come to my place and rest for a while?" Bai Li suggested.

An Yaoyao stopped in her tracks.

She turned around, looked at Bai Li, and then at Zhang Qian and Li Mengmeng standing beside her.

She opened her mouth, wanting to shake her head in refusal.

She didn't want to go back to that place where she had lost face, and she didn't want to face that group of fiercely competitive young women again.

Before she could utter her refusal, Li Mengmeng took a step forward, cutting her off.

"What are you trying to prove?" Li Mengmeng's tone left no room for argument: "We won't let other people go to Brother Bai Li's place."

Zhang Qian walked to An Yaoyao's other side and continued the conversation:

"Exactly. They won't do anything to you. Look at us, who's worse looking than you?"

An Yaoyao glanced at Zhang Qian's impressive figure, then at Li Mengmeng's cute, childlike face.

She lowered her head and muttered softly, "But..."

"But what!" Zhang Qian grabbed An Yaoyao's arm with great force: "Just come with us!"

Li Mengmeng ran to An Yaoyao's other side and grabbed her other hand.

"Exactly." Li Mengmeng abandoned her usual manipulative tone:

"We went a bit too far with our words earlier. Aren't we allowed to make amends?"

Two energetic young women, one on each side, supported An Yaoyao.

Now that things have come to this point, the steps have been laid out.

An Yaoyao bit her lower lip and finally nodded.

"I'll go..."

Ten minutes later.

An Yaoyao stood at the entrance of the villa.

Looking at the familiar gate, her feelings were complicated.

I'm back again... this place that's driving me crazy.

It had been less than an hour since she slammed the door and left.

Now, not only was he rescued by Bai Li, but he was also taken directly back to his lair.

However, An Yaoyao is now slightly refined by Jiang Ruyue and the Rainbow Team.

The high spirits I had when I first arrived are long gone.

"Come in." Zhang Qian pushed open the door.

Bai Li walked in front, with An Yaoyao and Li Mengmeng following behind.

The cool air from the air conditioner in the living room on the first floor dispelled the summer heat outside.

On the sofa, Chen Tingting was sprawled out playing on her phone.

Hearing the door open, she poked her red-haired head out.

"Oh?" Chen Tingting raised an eyebrow. "You're back from rescuing the damsel in distress?"

Lin Xiaoshuang was sitting cross-legged on the carpet eating potato chips when she turned her head and glanced at her.

Li Jiaxin sat next to her scrolling through short videos without even looking up.

The two casually remarked, "It's good that everyone's alright."

They didn't take the conflict from earlier to heart at all.

An Yaoyao stood in the entryway, looking at the group of energetic young women.

Their attitude was too casual; there was no mockery or hostility.

This rendered An Yaoyao's prepared defenses ineffective.

She was somewhat at a loss.

Just then, Jiang Ruyue came out of the kitchen.

He was holding a freshly washed cucumber in his hand and took a bite.

Click.

Jiang Ruyue stopped in her tracks, her innocent eyes fixed on An Yaoyao in the entryway.

She tilted her head, her face full of curiosity.

"Huh?" Jiang Ruyue swallowed the cucumber in her mouth. "Why doesn't she seem to have submitted to that stallion yet?"

Jiang Ruyue continued her careful analysis:

"If I were rescued by that big stallion, I'd probably be snuggling in his arms right now."

An Yaoyao was bending down to put on the slippers that Bai Li handed her.

Upon hearing this voice, she froze.

Anger surged up instantly.

This seemingly innocent and adorable girl is actually the main culprit who made her cry!

An Yaoyao straightened up and glared at Jiang Ruyue with annoyance.

"What kind of coquettishness can you possibly display?"

She imitated the consonant sounds, acting coy and affected:

"Waaaaah, you big bad guy, Lu, can you do something about this?"

An Yaoyao rolled her eyes and resumed her original voice.

"Let me tell you!" An Yaoyao pointed at Jiang Ruyue and declared loudly, "I won't have any feelings for him just because he saved me."

An Yaoyao raised her chin and looked in Bai Li's direction.

"I've given up on your scumbag boyfriends!"

This statement was delivered with great force and conviction.

It has a certain resoluteness in drawing a clear line.

Bai Li just threw the car keys on the shoe cabinet.

He did not refute An Yaoyao's declaration.

Bai Li slightly raised her eyelids.

In her line of sight, the Goddess Radar interface lit up above An Yaoyao's head.

[Name: An Yaoyao, Number of Meals: 0]

【Charm Points: 59】

Upon seeing this number, Bai Li thought to himself.

If it weren't for my "goddess radar," I almost would have believed it.

He walked over to the sofa and sat down, ready to watch the show.

Jiang Ruyue took a bite of cucumber and walked up to An Yaoyao.

Her innocent face was full of seriousness, with no hint of joking.

"Impossible," Jiang Ruyue shook her head in rebuttal.

"There's only one thing that can make you suddenly give up on someone," Jiang Ruyue said with certainty.

By this time, An Yaoyao already knew what kind of person Jiang Ruyue was, and she could imagine that this girl's answer would most likely anger her.

But she just couldn't stop herself from jumping into the pit.

"What is it?" An Yaoyao asked, her neck stiff.

Jiang Ruyue placed the remaining half of the cucumber on the coffee table and put her hands behind her back.

She looked at An Yaoyao, her expression serious.

"I had diarrhea at 69."
