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

"That doesn't count!"

An Yaoyao was filled with regret; she knew Jiang Ruyue would never say anything nice.

Bai Li reached out, bent his finger, and tapped Jiang Ruyue on the forehead.

"Alright," he interrupted the absurd topic, sighing.

"That's great. Looking at it this way, it seems we're all in pure love."

Bai Li originally wanted to express that everyone came together simply because they liked each other, setting aside material things.

But those words had barely left his mouth when...

Several young women stared at him as if he were an alien.

Chen Tingting was the first to lose her temper:

"You've fallen in love with him?"

"It's more like just making love."

Lin Xiaoshuang nodded in agreement, then added in a serious tone:

"The pure love that Big Brother is talking about refers to an awesome collision."

Bai Li felt a little embarrassed after being confronted with those two sentences.

He clenched his fists, coughed twice, and tried to cover his embarrassment:

"No way..."

He tried to defend himself in a low voice:

"You guys are usually the ones who can't hold back first."

This statement stirred up a hornet's nest.

Li Jiaxin slammed the glass she was holding onto the table.

She had purple hair and looked directly into Bai Li's eyes:

"Yes, we all craved your body, that's for sure."

"But do you remember what you said when I asked you to say something sweet to me on the sofa the other day?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Li rubbed his legs together a couple of times.

He quickly raised his hand and waved:

"No, let's not talk about that anymore, let's move on."

Li Jiaxin wouldn't listen at all.

She turned her head and looked at the other girls at the table, directly recreating the scene from that moment.

"He was lying on the sofa with his legs spread apart."

Li Jiaxin perfectly imitated Bai Li's tone at the time:

He said, "I wish I could become an umbrella."

An Yaoyao didn't notice the problem and casually replied:

"So what if I turn into an umbrella? I'll shelter you from the wind and rain, isn't that romantic?"

Li Jiaxin looked at An Yaoyao and snorted coldly:

"Romantic my ass."

She continued learning:

He said, "That way you can hold my hook."

An Yaoyao is numb.

Li Mengmeng sat next to her, her baby face puffed up with anger.

She put her hands on her hips and said to Li Jiaxin:

"Yours are all pretty good!"

"Brother Bai Li came to my room the night before last."

I asked him if he had prepared a gift for me.

When Li Mengmeng imitated speech, her voice was still soft and sweet:

"Brother Bai Li told me that he originally wanted to give you roses."

"But the flower broke on the way here, and there's only one rose head left. Do you want it?"

Chen Tingting smiled and said, "I still stand by what I said."

"The eldest brother parted his hair in the middle and said, 'Doesn't he look like your Kun-ge?'"

Bai Li sat in the main seat, covering half of her face with her hand.

These girls really tell everyone everything.

He quickly put his hand down, interrupted loudly, and forcefully ended the segment:

"Alright, alright, let's stop talking about this."

Bai Li turned his head, his gaze falling on An Yaoyao, forcefully changing the subject:

"Yaoyao."

Are you sure you've thought this through?

An Yaoyao stood there, her mind wandering.

Her mind is now filled with outrageous images.

"Shouldn't we also have pure love...?"

Jiang Ruyue stood up from her chair and walked over to An Yaoyao in her little yellow duck slippers.

She stretched out her fair hand and waved it in front of An Yaoyao's eyes.

Stop fantasizing!

Jiang Ruyue's innocent face drew closer: "Wake up!"

An Yaoyao focused her gaze on Jiang Ruyue in front of her, who was still grinning foolishly:

"Hehe...hehe, our love is pure."

Her appearance clearly showed that she hadn't recovered from the shock she had just received.

Jiang Ruyue's big eyes curved into a smile.

She adopted the tone of the Big Bad Wolf trying to lure Little Red Riding Hood, drawing out the last syllable:

"yes."

"We're in a pure love relationship, join us!"

Jiang Ruyue reached out and grabbed An Yaoyao's wrist, shaking it gently:

Join us.

An Yaoyao came to her senses.

She lowered her head, her fingers fidgeting, her ears burning red, and her voice trailing off.

"what?"

"I……"

An Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, then said, "I've already agreed."

Upon hearing this answer...

The energetic young women at the dining table all sighed in unison.

"Ugh."

Chen Tingting put her hands in her pockets and stood up.

Zhang Qian pushed the chair away, its legs brushing against the floor.

Lin Xiaoshuang shrugged.

Li Jiaxin looked at An Yaoyao and shook her head:

"In the end, I still need to have more sisters."

Bai Li was relieved to see that An Yaoyao had been successfully recruited.

He stood up, pushed the chair back to its original position, and looked at the girls as they made their promises:

"Okay, okay, I promise."

"This is the last one."

It was raining today, so Bai Li took the thin jacket that was draped over the sofa and put it on.

"Now Yaoyao has been appeased too."

"Let's go to work!"

"Okay!"

The girls answered in unison.

Chen Tingting, Zhang Qian, Li Jiaxin, and Lin Xiaoshuang were the first to walk out the door.

Jiang Ruyue and Li Mengmeng caught up from behind and walked side by side with him, one on each side.

An Yaoyao walked at the very back of the group, two steps behind Bai Li.

She stared at Bai Li's back, then glanced at the four energetic young women walking ahead, and quickened her pace.

Bai Li was walking.

Something touched the back of his right hand.

A soft little hand reached out from behind and slipped into his palm, its fingers hooking around the back of his hand.

It's very soft.

Bai Li slowed his pace by half a beat and turned his head to look.

The person walking on the right is Li Mengmeng. Li Mengmeng is holding onto the straps of her schoolbag with both hands, and she doesn't have a free hand at all.

On the left is Jiang Ruyue, who is looking at the insects in the roadside flower bed.

Bai Li turned around and glanced back.

An Yaoyao was wearing a black and pink striped dress with a minefield theme, and she was walking forward with her head down.

Her right hand was hidden in front of her, tightly holding Bai Li's hand.

He noticed Bai Li turning around.

An Yaoyao raised her face, lifted her left hand, and placed her index finger to her lips.

She didn't want the other girls walking in front and on either side to see this; it was a secret little act that belonged only to her.

Bai Li turned her face back and closed her fingers.

He took An Yaoyao's small hand in his and continued walking forward.

To hide his nervousness and to attract other people's attention, he tried to prevent them from looking down.

An Yaoyao looked at Jiang Ruyue to her left and casually asked a question:

"Kisaragi".

An Yaoyao raised a topic:

"Why did you decide to be with Bai Li in the first place?"

Everyone pricked up their ears, and Bai Li also wanted to hear what this girl had to say.

Jiang Ruyue was walking.

Hearing the question, she did not stop walking and kept her head up.

But her eyes never left Bai Li and An Yaoyao's clasped hands.

"Just like you."

"I don't want to be a miner anymore, that will only lead to poverty."
