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

The dinner preparation was so lavish that it took quite a while to prepare.

It wasn't until 5 p.m. that everything was finally finished.

"Brother Bai Li, you've worked hard."

Li Mengmeng leaned closer, pressed her chest against Bai Li's arm, and rubbed against it a couple of times.

Jiang Ruyue was playing with dough balls on the side.

She shaped the dough into a little person and held it up for Bai Li to see.

"Look, you big stallion, Ultraman Zero!" Jiang Ruyue said seriously.

Bai Li glanced at the oddly shaped lump of dough.

"You, Zero, just got back from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, right?"

Jiang Ruyue said "oh" and lowered her head to continue kneading the dough.

Bai Li took off her apron and hung it on a hook on the wall.

He glanced at the dishes on the cutting board.

Spicy crayfish, spicy diced chicken, boiled sliced ​​pork, and dry-fried pork intestines.

Sixty percent of it is spicy.

"Alright, time to eat."

Bai Li pushed open the glass sliding door of the kitchen, walked into the living room, and shouted.

"Xiao Shuang, go and call An Yaoyao down."

Lin Xiaoshuang was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV when she heard the shout and jumped up from the cushion.

"Okay, big brother!"

She was wearing flip-flops and ran up the stairs.

In just three minutes.

Lin Xiaoshuang led An Yaoyao, who had just woken up and was still rubbing her eyes, down the stairs.

"Sniff, sniff, sniff."

An Yaoyao's nose twitched slightly, and she opened her eyes.

She looked towards the dining table.

Li Jiaxin and Zhang Qian were carrying plates, making trips to the dining table.

Bright red, spicy crayfish are placed in a bowl, with a layer of red oil floating on top of the broth.

The stir-fried pork intestines gleamed under the light.

All the dishes were spicy.

An Yaoyao swallowed hard, making a gurgling sound in her throat.

"It smells so good...!"

Lin Xiaoshuang reached out and grabbed An Yaoyao's arm, pulling her forward.

"Hurry up!" Lin Xiaoshuang urged.

"I can't wait any longer."

An Yaoyao was pulled forward, her steps faltering.

She looked at Lin Xiaoshuang's hand on her arm and didn't realize what was happening until she was pulled to the dining table.

An Yaoyao muttered softly:

"When did we become so close...?"

An Yaoyao stopped at the dining table, her gaze sweeping over everyone in the room.

Chen Tingting held chopsticks in her hand, staring at the spicy chicken cubes and drooling.

Zhang Qian set out the bowls and chopsticks.

Jiang Ruyue was holding a bowl containing a lump of dark dough.

Aside from Bai Li, whom I had met once before.

I just met all the other girls this morning.

Moreover, he had just gotten into a fight with them that morning, threatening to kill Bai Li and calling them hooligans.

Now I'm going to sit down and have a big meal with them at the same table.

An Yaoyao lowered her head and shuffled her toes on the carpet.

She couldn't bring herself to do it.

Bai Li pulled out the chair in the main seat, sat down, and picked up a towel to wipe her hands.

He looked at An Yaoyao's awkward expression.

"What's wrong?" Bai Li leaned back in her chair and cut to the chase: "Are you feeling embarrassed?"

"Is it because you're not very familiar with us and feel awkward, or are you thinking about what happened this morning?"

An Yaoyao's true feelings were exposed.

Her fingers were tangled together as she slowly spoke.

"Both sides..."

Bai Li rested his elbows on the dining table, pondering how to appease this little landmine.

Chen Tingting spoke first from the side.

"wipe."

"You were saved by Big Brother, Shorty, and the bitch, and you're still not familiar with them?"

Chen Tingting's words, though rough, are not without merit.

Li Jiaxin pulled out a chair and sat down, casually tidying her purple hair.

"Exactly!" Li Jiaxin tapped the rim of her bowl. "We've been through thick and thin together."

Lin Xiaoshuang also spoke up:

"You came here this morning with ulterior motives towards us, which is why we started making a scene."

"You didn't say you wanted your brother to break up with us so you could have him all to yourself. We won't mind."

An Yaoyao stood in front of the chair but did not sit down.

She looked up, biting her lower lip, her voice very soft.

"But I said some hurtful things today."

Li Jiaxin scoffed after hearing this.

"What Qing Dynasty history?"

Chen Tingting picked up a crayfish and peeled it.

"And we said a lot of hurtful things too!"

Jiang Ruyue placed the bowl of dark, gooey noodles she had made in front of her, her large eyes crystal clear.

"that is."

"We made you cry back then, and you didn't say anything, did you?"

An Yaoyao's face turned bright red, and she didn't know how to respond.

Li Mengmeng carried over the last bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup and placed it in the middle of the table.

"I used to fight with them."

"The insults they hurled were far worse than yours. Lin Xiaoshuang even deliberately NTR'd me."

Zhang Qian poured Bai Li a glass of warm water.

"When I added my brother on WeChat, Jiaxin called me a bitch with impure motives."

Zhang Qian shrugged and pointed at Li Jiaxin:

"Aren't we sitting at the same table eating now?"

An Yaoyao stood there, her eyes wide open.

She turned her head and stared at Bai Li.

What epic battles has this man been through?!

[Six girlfriends, who used to fight, argue, and even have NTR (Netorare) storylines.]

[Now we can actually sit calmly at a table, united against a foreign enemy, and even joke around with each other.]

Bai Li chuckled as he looked at An Yaoyao's shocked expression.

"Everyone is absolutely right."

"Thinking about those things will only make you feel uneasy. It's better to just let it go."

An Yaoyao looked at Bai Li and listened to him speak.

"As for what happens next..." Bai Li paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over An Yaoyao's dress.

"Just like Xiaoshuang said."

"Don't approach people with ulterior motives; that will make them appear two-faced."

"Let's just have normal contact, we can always be friends, okay?"

Bai Li offered the final solution.

After hearing these words, An Yaoyao's awkwardness dissipated considerably.

She nodded emphatically.

"Um!!"

After the conversation was brought up, An Yaoyao no longer had so many concerns.

She pulled out a chair in front of her and sat down.

The atmosphere at the table became lively again.

Chen Tingting had already finished off a small pile of lobster shells.

Li Jiaxin is picking up slices of boiled meat.

Lin Xiaoshuang put a piece of spicy chicken into An Yaoyao's bowl.

An Yaoyao put the diced chicken into her mouth, and the spiciness mixed with the aroma of meat spread in her mouth.

She chewed faster and faster.

This food is so delicious.

Li Mengmeng moved closer to Bai Li and peeled shrimp for him.

Just as everyone was picking up their chopsticks and eating their meal...

Chen Tingting stopped what she was doing and looked at Bai Li, who was in the main seat, with a wink.

"Big brother."

"Look at these dishes, do you have any thoughts?"

Bai Li followed her gaze and glanced at the spicy crayfish and boiled sliced ​​meat on the table.

The dishes are bright red, oily, and flavorful.

Bai Li instantly understood what Chen Tingting meant.

He leaned back in his chair, drawing out the words:

"or……"

"Want some drinks?"
