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

Thirty minutes later, it was 11 p.m.

Bai Li sat up from the lounge chair and looked at the swimming pool.

After playing for half a day, even the girls with good stamina were starting to feel exhausted.

Zhang Qian lay on the swimming ring, her blue hair sticking wetly to her back.

Chen Tingting leaned against the edge of the pool, panting, her tattooed arms covered in water droplets.

Lin Xiaoshuang held onto Li Jiaxin's arm, too lazy to move her legs anymore.

Bai Li clapped his hands:

"Alright, shall we go downstairs and rest?"

"Okay~"

The seven girls responded and emerged from the water one after another.

Zhang Qian came ashore first, her black swimsuit clinging to her body.

Chen Tingting followed behind, raising her hand to brush her red hair back.

Li Jiaxin and Lin Xiaoshuang helped each other up, while Xie Lingmo grabbed a bath towel and immediately wrapped herself up tightly.

An Yaoyao also wanted to learn from her.

But just as she got the towel, Jiang Ruyue reached out from the side, grabbed it, and draped it over herself.

"Jiang Ruyue!"

An Yaoyao covered her chest with her hands: "That's mine!"

"Is your name written on it?"

"There's a little yellow duck! It matches my swimsuit!"

Jiang Ruyue glanced down and said, "So it has betrayed us now."

An Yaoyao chased after her to grab the bath towel, but after running two steps, she remembered that Bai Li was still next to her, so she quickly stopped to protect herself.

Bai Li was still admiring it.

Seven young girls stood by the pool, each beautiful in her own way.

Water droplets dripped down her shoulders and long legs. She wasn't pretentious even when she was being noisy; she was full of the energy that one should have at her age.

He looked at it for a few seconds, then turned to the side and adjusted the position of his swim trunks.

We must preserve this basic dignity...

Just as I finished dealing with it, Jiang Ruyue came running over with half a watermelon in her arms.

She tilted her innocent face up and looked at Bai Li with pleading eyes:

"Big stallion, I'm tired from swimming, I don't want to move anymore."

"Can I ride on your shoulders to go up and down the stairs?"

Bai Li snatched the watermelon from her hand, casually pinched her puffed-up cheek, and said something perfunctory:

"You're an adult now, you need to be mindful of your privacy."

"You can't play those kinds of games anymore."

Jiang Ruyue stared at him for two seconds, knowing perfectly well that he was just too lazy to give her a ride.

She took a step forward:

"Are you pretending to be high and mighty now?"

She tiptoed and whispered in Bai Li's ear:

"You wouldn't want that pink-haired girl to hear your high school self-introduction, would you...?"

Bai Li stopped eating the watermelon.

This little robot may be slow-witted most of the time, but when it comes to something that can be manipulated, its mind works faster than anyone else's.

"Don't push too hard."

Jiang Ruyue paused for a moment, then looked down at Bai Li's swimming trunks:

"Did it hurt you?"

"..."

Bai Li put the watermelon back in the fruit plate: "Fine, I'll carry you on my back."

He squatted down in front of Jiang Ruyue.

Jiang Ruyue shook her head and pointed to his shoulder.

"I want to sit on your neck."

"They have quite a few requirements."

Bai Li supported her legs and lifted her up.

Jiang Ruyue draped her two long, fair legs over his shoulders and pressed her hands against his head.

After she settled in, she happily swung her toes.

"drive!"

Bai Li raised his hand and patted her thigh.

"Say it again, and I'll throw you into the pool."

Jiang Ruyue immediately changed her tune: "My dear husband, you've worked hard."

When other girls saw this, problems arose.

Zhang Qian wrapped a bath towel around her waist: "Big brother, I want to play too."

Chen Tingting walked over: "Why should I only carry her?"

Lin Xiaoshuang raised her hand: "I'm very light!"

Li Jiaxin was even more direct, raising her hand to put it on Bai Li's shoulder:

"Queue up, one person per turn."

An Yaoyao stood behind, holding a bath towel.

She wanted to speak up, but they had only just started dating today, and even holding hands had to be done secretly.

She simply couldn't bring herself to shout "riding on someone's neck."

Xie Lingmo didn't say anything either.

She watched as Jiang Ruyue sat on Bai Li's shoulder, her fingers clenching the bath towel into several folds.

Why should I?

I finally managed to come back, and this little bot snatched all the perks.

Bai Li looked at the people surrounding him and felt a headache coming on:

"Let's talk about it another time."

"I can't possibly deliver it all by myself."

"Why not?" Zhang Qian retorted.

"Seven people, from the fourth floor to the second floor." Bai Li counted on her fingers: "Are you planning to make me practice shuttle runs tonight?"

The girls fell silent.

Lin Xiaoshuang lowered her head: "Oh..."

Chen Tingting turned her face away: "Just say you're biased."

Bai Li ignored the jealous group and carried Jiang Ruyue downstairs.

Jiang Ruyue was sitting high up, and when she reached the top of the stairs on the third floor, she even reached out and touched the chandelier.

"Big stallion, I'm taller than you now."

"You just have a higher ass than me."

"That's still high."

Upon reaching the second floor, Bai Li bent down and placed Jiang Ruyue on the ground.

She stepped barefoot onto the carpet, turned to face the girl behind her, and clapped her hands.

"Wow, this is so much fun!"

An Yaoyao walked past her, the envy in her eyes obvious to everyone: "It's not fun at all."

Jiang Ruyue caught up with her and said, "You wouldn't understand if you haven't played it before."

"That's called saying a stallion is rotten if you can't ride it."

An Yaoyao turned her head and glared at her: "I don't care!"

Xie Lingmo and Lin Xiaoshuang gritted their teeth at Jiang Ruyue's smug look, but ultimately restrained themselves from beating her up.

Chen Tingting dried her tattooed arm with a bath towel, her tone laced with sarcasm:

"Is it really necessary?"

"You get this excited just from riding a horse."

Li Jiaxin's sourness was even more direct:

"I reckon the older brother has a bunch of penises growing on his neck."

"???"

Bai Li stood at the door of the master bedroom, her mind filled with questions.

"no."

"Is this how everyone treats me now?"

Li Jiaxin wrung out her purple hair: "What else?"

Bai Li opened his mouth, but chose to give up on communicating.

Discussing logic with these young, eccentric women is illogical in itself.

He pushed open the master bedroom door and turned to greet him:

"Alright, alright, it's getting late, everyone should get some rest."

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Ruyue clapped her hands and was the first to agree.

She had already enjoyed all the special treatment, so of course she had no objection to sleeping.

An Yaoyao glanced at the guest room at the end of the corridor and nodded.

Too much happened today; she needs to go back and lie down to process it all.

Xie Lingmo wrapped herself tightly in a bath towel, preparing to go to the next room to find her pajamas.

The three had only taken a few steps when Li Jiaxin's voice came from behind them:

"Big brother, we're not going back."

"Let's move on to the next game!"

Chen Tingting's voice rang out, "Yes, we have to do it in the next round!"

Bai Li, leaning against the doorframe, asked, "Want to play some more?"

"Weren't you all tired in the pool just now?"

"Swimming is swimming," Zhang Qian said, walking up to him. "A game is a game."

Lin Xiaoshuang also ran over and grabbed Bai Li's arm with both hands, shaking it.

"I want to play! I want to play!"

Jiang Ruyue and the other two women stopped in unison and pricked up their ears.

Bai Li looked at the four energetic young women blocking the doorway.

It's so late now, I wonder what they're going to do...

Moreover, we need to continue filming the second season tomorrow, and according to the original plan, we need to be at the studio by 8:30 in the morning.

If we keep making a fuss now, no one will be able to get up tomorrow.

But the young women are clearly having a great time right now, and I don't really want to spoil the fun.

Bai Li calculated the script's progress.

The preliminary preparations have been completed, so starting the machine a day later will not have a significant impact.

At worst, we can take a day off tomorrow.

"Alright then." Bai Li stepped aside to open the door. "What are we playing?"

Zhang Qian walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder.

Blue hair fell onto Bai Li's chest.

She leaned closer and asked:

"Didn't my older brother say in high school..."

"Does getting rich mean you can indulge in orgies?"
