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

"Pooh!"

Li Mengmeng straightened her back and tilted her head back.

She turned her head, looked at Jiang Ruyue sitting directly opposite her, and said meaningfully:

"There are clearly deserters!"

Jiang Ruyue pretended not to know and lowered her head to poke at the millet porridge in the bowl with a spoon.

"Exactly!" Lin Xiaoshuang flipped her phone face down on the table and slapped the table to indicate her agreement.

She extended her right hand, pointing at Jiang Ruyue:

"Otherwise, if we sisters work together, we can definitely cure our eldest brother!"

Upon hearing these words, An Yaoyao's face flushed red, and her neck turned bright red.

She covered her face with her hands in embarrassment:

[I'm still sitting here, a kid who's never been in a relationship, why are you bringing this up?]

An Yaoyao couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up.

"I'll clean it up."

An Yaoyao hurriedly tidied up the tableware. When she walked over to Jiang Ruyue, Jiang Ruyue was feeding herself porridge with a spoon.

An Yaoyao didn't even look at it before reaching out and snatching Jiang Ruyue's bowl away.

"I haven't finished eating yet..."

Jiang Ruyue looked up at An Yaoyao.

An Yaoyao's mind was in complete chaos, and she no longer cared about her.

She carried a stack of plates and bowls, turned around, and ran towards the kitchen.

"I...I'll go wash the dishes." An Yaoyao left with the words, "You guys chat!"

She went into the kitchen and closed the door behind her.

Jiang Ruyue looked at the bare desktop.

She stood up.

"I'll go help too!"

Jiang Ruyue moved her feet, preparing to run to the kitchen.

Chen Tingting strode forward, grabbed Jiang Ruyue's arm, and pressed her back into the chair.

"No!"

Chen Tingting patted the table in front of Jiang Ruyue.

Jiang Ruyue shrank her neck.

Li Jiaxin went around behind Jiang Ruyue and placed her hands on Jiang Ruyue's shoulders.

Zhang Qian pulled out a chair and sat down directly opposite Jiang Ruyue.

Lin Xiaoshuang and Li Mengmeng moved to Jiang Ruyue's left and right sides, cutting off her escape route.

"The military court is in session." Zhang Qian stared at Jiang Ruyue:

"Jiang Ruyue was a deserter last night; we'll begin the reckoning now."

Jiang Ruyue sat upright with her hands on her knees.

Zhang Qian raised her right index finger:

"You were so aggressive at the beginning, constantly provoking me."

"I thought you were so capable, but it only took a few seconds!"

Lin Xiaoshuang then spoke, gesturing with her hands in the air:

"that is!"

"A few seconds is one thing, but you've made a mess of the entire battlefield..."

Jiang Ruyue lowered her head, feeling wronged, and whispered her apology:

"I...I'm just a piece of trash..."

Chen Tingting stood beside her with her arms crossed.

"But you're really crazy!"

"He usually looks a bit dull, but when the time comes, the things he says can be terrifying."

Li Jiaxin bent down and brought her face close to Jiang Ruyue's ear.

"Why don't you ask your older brother if he's obsessed with it or if he likes it?"

Then she glanced at Bai Li and drawled out her words:

"Should we still make a mold and send it to him?"

When Jiang Ruyue heard Li Jiaxin recount her words, she was so embarrassed that she raised her hands to cover her face.

Li Mengmeng stood with her hands on her hips, looking both cute and fierce:

"Why isn't the mold-making girl saying anything?!"

Jiang Ruyue parted her fingers a crack and protested softly:

"Don't give people nicknames..."

Chen Tingting rolled her eyes.

"You were the one who gave us our nicknames, and even our eldest brother's nickname!"

"Now you're turning the tables and not letting us name it for you?"

Jiang Ruyue lowered her hands, stuck out her tongue, and tried to deceive them:

"Hehe~"

Bai Li sat in the main seat, watching the farce unfold.

The time was 8:30.

"Alright, alright." Bai Li stood up.

He went to the living room, picked up the T-shirt draped over the sofa, and put it on.

"Everyone's constitution is different." Bai Li straightened his collar.

"Let's drop this. Get ready and get ready for work."

Upon hearing that they had to go to work, the girls stopped their attack on Jiang Ruyue.

Chen Tingting ran to the entryway to change her shoes, while Li Jiaxin picked up her bag from the sofa.

Bai Li pushed open the villa door.

A modified Toyota Coaster was parked in the driveway outside the gate.

Bai Li got into the car and sat down in the single seat.

Zhang Qian, Lin Xiaoshuang, Li Mengmeng, and Jiang Ruyue boarded the bus one after another and found seats.

Chen Tingting and Li Jiaxin stood by the car door.

Li Jiaxin turned her head and shouted at the top of her lungs into the villa:

"An Yaoyao! Stop hiding, come out!"

A dozen seconds later.

An Yaoyao peeked out from the kitchen doorway and asked somewhat cautiously:

"Are you... finished talking?"

Chen Tingting stood on the car door step and clicked her tongue.

Then she put her hands on her hips and unleashed her trump card:

"If you don't hurry up, I'll dock your pay!"

Upon hearing this, An Yaoyao panicked.

I haven't even officially started working yet, how can they deduct my salary first?

She dropped the rag and ran wildly towards the door, screaming in agony:

"No!!"
