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

"what?"

An's father was dumbfounded.

He couldn't tell if Bai Li was joking or just improvising.

"Director Bai..." An's father lowered his voice, "Are you kidding me?"

Bai Li leaned back on the sofa and laughed out loud:

"Haha, Uncle, of course I was just teasing you."

To everyone's surprise, Father An slapped his thigh:

"Sigh," he said regretfully, "I almost thought Yao Yao would finally be able to live a good life."

An Yaoyao, who was standing next to the coffee table, was completely distraught.

Her heart, like the scattered snakeskin bags on the ground, was broken into pieces.

"Dad! Boss!"

An Yaoyao stomped her foot:

"What are you talking about?!"

She turned her head and looked at her mother sitting on the other side of the sofa.

An's mother was holding Chen Tingting's hand and chatting enthusiastically with a few young women, completely ignoring what was happening here.

"Mom!" An Yaoyao raised her voice, "Can't you control Dad?!"

An's mother stopped talking and turned her face away.

"What are you yelling about?" Mother An rolled her eyes at her.

"Your dad and I were just so excited to see Director Bai and Tingting."

An Yaoyao's eyes were red-rimmed, and she bit her lip.

"You can't just leave my clothes and spare sheets lying around like that..."

She squatted down, grabbed the clothes on the ground with both hands, and stuffed them one by one into the snakeskin bag.

"You all came to see me, not me," An Yaoyao muttered, looking aggrieved.

An's father watched his daughter's retreating figure, then turned to look at Bai Li.

"Oh, Director Bai, look at my daughter, she has this problem." Mr. An chuckled, trying to smooth things over.

"I guess you're unhappy because you think I've been talking to you for too long."

"No, that's not true!!"

An Yaoyao zipped up the zipper, picked up the two large snakeskin bags with both hands, and stood up as if in a huff.

She carried her things and walked towards the stairs to the second floor without looking back.

Bai Li watched An Yaoyao's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs.

He turned back and straightened his posture.

After a few exchanges, Bai Li made a judgment about An's father.

On the surface, An's father is an honest and simple worker, but in private he is a mischievous old man with a broad-minded personality. When he gets old, he will definitely be the kind of person who is a devil.

An's father stopped his playful demeanor.

He sighed, his tone wistful:

"Director Bai."

"I never imagined that Yaoyao would actually follow you guys."

"I'm so lucky."

An's father was a wise man.

He knew his daughter's situation very well; her grades were at the bottom of the class. But who would have thought that during her summer vacation, she would casually find a job and end up in the production crew of the drama he was watching?

Although it's just a cleaning job, the salary and working environment are excellent.

Bai Li did not respond to An's father's praise, but instead asked:

"Uncle, you've come all this way, have you had dinner yet?"

Father An waved his hand:

"I've already eaten; I just grabbed a quick bite at the station."

Bai Li responded to An's father's praise with hospitality:

"Zhang Qian, Tingting, go to the kitchen and get some fruit suitable for dinner. Xiaoshuang, go to the refrigerator and get some drinks."

The three girls immediately stood up, demonstrating great efficiency, and each went to do their own work.

Seeing how obedient the girls were to Bai Li, An's mother couldn't help but sigh:

"These girls are so beautiful, Director Bai is so lucky."

Jiang Ruyue held her water glass and took small sips of water.

Mother An looked at Jiang Ruyue and praised her:

"Especially this little girl, she's so clean-looking."

Jiang Ruyue put down her water glass: "That's what the big stallion said too..."

An's mother was stunned.

"Big... what horse?" Mother An didn't understand.

Bai Li rubbed his temples:

"Ruyue, come here for a second, I promise I won't beat you up."

......

In the guest rooms on the second floor.

An Yaoyao stuffed the clothes into the closet.

What does it mean to almost think I could have a good life?

She grabbed a pillow and punched it twice.

She grew angrier the more she thought about it, so she walked out of the room and stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

The father's voice reached his ears:

"Has my Yaoyao been causing you any trouble?"

Bai Li gave a gentle evaluation:

No, not at all.

"An Yaoyao is very hardworking and usually very easy to manage."

"She's a very well-behaved and nice girl."

An Yaoyao felt a warmth in her heart:

You're smart to know your place...

But Bai Li's inner thoughts were quite different.

[I'm so obedient that I get shocked with a stun gun for no reason.]

When An's father and mother heard Bai Li's praise, they couldn't stop smiling.

"That's good, that's good." Mother An nodded repeatedly and began to recall:

"Yaoyao is usually very well-behaved at home."

"It was a bit strange right after the exam."

"She locked the door and went to her room to study the dog leash."

"He was still talking about using that chain to tie someone up in Ping County."

Upon hearing this, Bai Li felt a chill run down his spine.

Since they met, he has only seen An Yaoyao's stun gun, and has never seen a dog leash.

Bai Li's brain was working at lightning speed.

[Could they be hiding in the room, waiting for a chance to kidnap me...?]

Upon hearing this, An Yaoyao twisted her hands together, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Just as Bai Li was pondering whether or not to conduct a surprise inspection of An Yaoyao's room, An's mother's voice rang out again.

"but."

"I noticed that my dog ​​wasn't on a leash and was running around freely."

"They took the chain from her room and used it to leash the dog."

Upon hearing this, Bai Li's tense nerves relaxed.

Alert lifted.

He turned his head and exchanged a glance with Zhang Qian next to him.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

I really underestimated this girl.

If it weren't for An's mother removing the leash to tether the dog, she might have ended up with a collar around her neck one night while sleeping.

When An's father saw that Bai Li didn't respond, he assumed that Bai Li was interested in An Yaoyao's affairs.

"Director Bai," Mr. An began to speak.

"Yaoyao has been a wild child since she was little."

"She hadn't fully grown back then, she looked like a monkey."

Father An gestured to indicate the height, mimicking An Yaoyao's tone when she was a child:

One day she came home from school, looked at me and her mother, and asked: "Why are Mom and Dad so good-looking, but I'm so ugly?"

After saying this, Father An burst into laughter.

An's mother also covered her mouth and laughed.

Everyone was amused by An Yaoyao's embarrassing childhood stories.

An Yaoyao covered her face with her hands, ready to rush downstairs and stop her parents from talking anymore.

But it was amidst this harmonious laughter that...

Jiang Ruyue sat quietly on the single sofa, hugging a cushion.

She blinked her big eyes, looked at Mr. and Mrs. An, and whispered:

"Because dragons and phoenixes can fly together."
