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

Tears of envy streamed down An Yaoyao's face as she looked at the impoverished woman.

Chen Tingting was biting into a xiaolongbao when she heard An Yaoyao's mutterings. She turned to look at her and raised an eyebrow.

"What? You want one too?"

She leaned forward, grinning mischievously, and said:

"If we had gone to your older brother's bedroom a few minutes later last night, you might have had one today too."

An Yaoyao immediately recalled the absurd events of the previous night, and her face flushed and her heart pounded:

"Pooh!"

"I'm not envious at all!"

Li Jiaxin watched the commotion from the sidelines and casually grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth.

"Alright, Tingting, stop teasing her."

"Let's pack up together."

She stood up and picked up the empty bowl and plate in front of her.

Chen Tingting also got up and stacked the empty plates into a pile:

"Okay, let's do the work together. We can't let Mengmeng cook and wash dishes at the same time."

Lin Xiaoshuang jumped off the chair and picked up two stacks of bowls with both hands.

The three girls very conscientiously began to clear the table.

"Qianqian," Bai Li spoke up at this moment:

Pack up the gifts and children's toys, and get ready to go to your aunt's house.

"Okay, I'll go get it right away." Zhang Qian nodded in agreement.

Only four people remained at the dining table.

Bai Li leaned back in his chair, waiting for Zhang Qian to come out.

Li Mengmeng rubbed her swollen belly and dangled her legs over the edge of the chair.

Jiang Ruyue rested her chin on her hands, staring blankly at a small, uncleaned oil stain on the table.

Just as the group was enjoying the quiet, An Yaoyao's expression suddenly changed.

She felt waves of heat starting in her lower abdomen.

Oh no, my period is coming early.

She panicked, squeezed her legs together, and tugged at Jiang Ruyue's sleeve:

"Kisaragi...can I borrow something from you...?"

Jiang Ruyue nodded, looking like a clueless goose:

"What?!"

An Yaoyao leaned close to her ear and whispered three words:

"Small wings, preferably the longer kind..."

Jiang Ruyue tilted her head and said in a silly tone:

"You might not be used to mine..."

"It's okay!" An Yaoyao felt she was about to lose control and anxiously nudged Jiang Ruyue's arm.

"Please, what style is okay?"

"Alright..." Seeing how persistent she was, Jiang Ruyue had no choice but to get up and get it for her.

Twenty seconds later, she picked up a pink and green package and came back, handing it to An Yaoyao.

"Here you go." Jiang Ruyue said seriously.

An Yaoyao grabbed the packaging bag, clutched her stomach, ran into the bathroom, and locked the door behind her.

The restaurant fell silent again.

Li Mengmeng changed her position and continued rubbing her stomach.

Ten minutes later.

The bathroom door opened.

An Yaoyao walked out from inside.

Her walking posture was very awkward, like a penguin, as she slowly made her way back to the restaurant.

She moved all the way to the dining table.

Bai Li found her actions amusing.

Li Mengmeng also stopped rubbing her stomach and looked at her curiously.

An Yaoyao's face was even redder than before. She held onto the back of the chair and did not sit down.

She stared at Jiang Ruyue, took a deep breath, and her voice was full of accusation.

"Why are you being so anti-human, using mint?"

Faced with An Yaoyao's accusations, Jiang Ruyue sat in her chair and tilted her head.

"Because the big stallion likes Lin Chong, I use this often."

Upon hearing this, An Yaoyao's mind went completely blank.

She glanced at Jiang Ruyue, then at Bai Li, who was sitting in the main seat.

I racked my brains but still couldn't figure out the connection.

Li Mengmeng's round eyes darted around twice, as if she had guessed something, and her expression became speechless.

An Yaoyao couldn't hold back any longer and humbly asked for advice:

"Is there any connection?"

Jiang Ruyue sat upright with her hands on her knees.

She looked at An Yaoyao, blinked her big eyes twice, and uttered four words:

"Forced to go to Liangshan."

An Yaoyao opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single syllable.

Bai Li almost spat out the mouthful of water he had just taken a sip of:

"Kisaragi, you're so stupid."

Jiang Ruyue turned her head and looked at Bai Li.

She puffed out her cheeks, somewhat unconvinced:

"That's clearly true, I didn't say anything wrong."

Just then, Zhang Qian came out of the bedroom carrying large and small bags.

She very naturally picked up where the previous topic left off:

"Big brother is the smartest."

She glanced at Bai Li, then swept her gaze over An Yaoyao and Jiang Ruyue:

"Last night I said I was thirsty, and in his haste, he poured tea into my mouth."
