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

Chapter 475 Are you crying?

Five minutes later.

Plates of food were laid out in the restaurant on the first floor, but no one touched them.

Xie Lingmo sat to Bai Li's right. Just as she picked up her chopsticks, Zhang Qian moved her chair closer to her.

She pretended to lower her voice, but everyone in the restaurant could hear her:

"Little pink-haired girl, did you sleep well last night?"

Xie Lingmo looked down at the bowl: "It's fine."

Chen Tingting pulled out a chair on the other side and sat down: "What time did you go to sleep?"

"I didn't check the time."

Li Jiaxin, resting her chin on her hand, asked, "Until what time does the bell stop ringing?"

Xie Lingmo stopped using her chopsticks.

Lin Xiaoshuang leaned against the table, her voice soft: "Does it hurt?"

"Can't you guys eat?!"

Xie Lingmo raised her face, her ears turning bright red.

She tried to act like a rich young lady, but her back was still aching, so she leaned back in her chair and couldn't keep up the composure on her face.

Jiang Ruyue peeked her head over the table:

"Sister Lingmo, why do you walk with your toes pointing outwards?"

Xie Lingmo looked down at her legs.

"I don't!"

"Yes." Jiang Ruyue took out her phone. "I just recorded it."

Xie Lingmo's eyes widened, then she angrily reached out to snatch it: "Delete it!"

Jiang Ruyue quickly hid her phone behind her back, her first-love face full of seriousness: "This is a precious record of my growth."

Why are you taking pictures of other people to document your childhood?

"For research purposes."

Zhang Qian suppressed a laugh: "What have you figured out?"

Jiang Ruyue raised a finger: "Knowledge changes destiny, and a stallion changes gait."

Xie Lingmo blushed and rushed over.

Jiang Ruyue turned around and hid behind Chen Tingting.

The two walked halfway around each other across the chair, and Xie Lingmo's back started to ache, so she had to sit down again.

An Yaoyao sat at the farthest point, holding her bowl, but didn't pick up any food with her chopsticks for a long time.

She didn't want to listen.

But these people were talking in such detail that she almost figured out how many times the bell had rung last night.

Bai Li looked relaxed, as if he were just sitting in a chair, lost in thought.

Because he was too busy last night and fulfilled his promise to Fa Xing Xie Lingmo this morning, he only had time to check the system messages now.

[Investment target Xie Lingmo's favorability has increased by 20 points, current favorability: 94.]

[Target's affinity value has reached a key milestone.]

The interim rewards have been distributed and converted into reward points.

[Current reward points: 2.]

After reading the hint, Bai Li glanced at Xie Lingmo, who was being questioned by several people, and sighed inwardly:

Time flies! Little Pink Hair's affection level is already 94.

Currently, Chen Tingting, Li Jiaxin, Lin Xiaoshuang, and Zhang Qian have all reached 100.

Jiang Ruyue is 95 years old, and Xie Lingmo is 94 years old.

Li Mengmeng has 78 points and An Yaoyao has 69 points.

Bai Li muttered to herself, "Something feels off..."

"What's weird?"

Zhang Qian had finished the interrogation and picked up her chopsticks to take a steamed bun.

The other girls returned to their seats and began eating.

Bai Li coughed and casually brushed it off:

"It feels weird eating without Mengmeng cooking."

This statement made the group pause for a moment.

Chen Tingting took a sip of soy milk:

"That's true."

"The food delivered by the property management is not bad, but it's not as good as what Little Cow makes."

Lin Xiaoshuang nodded in agreement: "With Mengmeng gone, I can't find anyone to argue with."

Jiang Ruyue, holding the small bowl, tilted her head to look at Bai Li:

"Hey big stallion, has Sister Mengmeng tried to chat with you?"

Bai Li took out her phone; there were no new messages on WeChat.

"no."

He typed a line and sent it.

"Are you up yet?"

Five seconds passed, and there was no reply.

Bai Li opened Douyin again.

Last night, he forwarded three videos to Li Mengmeng: one of a kitten crawling into a cardboard box, one of a milk tea review, and one of a father and daughter arguing.

All have been read.

Not a single reply.

This is not in line with Li Mengmeng's usual habits.

"strangeness."

Bai Li tapped the chat box twice with his finger:

"Mengmeng is usually so lively, why isn't she saying anything today?"

Zhang Qian looked up: "Big brother, why don't you just call her?"

"Too."

Bai Li didn't dial immediately; she put her phone back on the table.

"Eat first. I'll call after I finish eating, and if no one answers, I'll go check next door."

The dining table erupted into noise again.

While eating, Bai Li thought she might as well use today's rebate.

He picked up his phone and opened the transfer page.

"You're not working today, so I'll give you some extra money."

After saying that, he transferred 10,000 yuan to each of the seven girls, including Li Mengmeng.

My phone kept beeping with notifications.

"Long live Big Brother!" The young female fans had gotten used to Bai Li handing out money.

Jiang Ruyue tapped the payment button: "I want to renew my website membership."

Bai Li turned to look at her: "Step back."

Jiang Ruyue quickly tucked her phone under her bottom:

"No refund! Unless you can take my phone away!"

"I won't let you have your fun!" Bai Li said, ignoring her and turning to An Yaoyao.

"Shouldn't we collect them today?"

An Yaoyao was still staring blankly at the 10,000 yuan transfer.

She only had one dollar and fifty cents left in her pocket yesterday.

Now, Bai Li simply raises his hand and gives her three months' salary.

If this disparity were applied to someone else, she would be afraid and suspicious that the other person wanted to take something from her.

But Bai Li has everything.

When he spent money on Zhang Qian and the others, he didn't even mention giving them anything in return.

An Yaoyao tapped the payment button and raised her tender little face.

"Um!"

"I'm going to save them up too, and spend them all on you in the end!"

Just as Bai Li was about to tell her to keep it for herself, An Yaoyao reached out and covered his mouth.

"Don't try to persuade me."

"I just want to spend money on you!"

She spoke earnestly, her voice sweet and youthful, her palm pressed against Bai Li's lips, but her ears turned red.

Bai Li pulled her hand down.

"Okay, approved."

An Yaoyao was happy and started browsing shopping apps on her phone.

Bai Li looked at the girls around the table.

They have different personalities and different family backgrounds, but they are surprisingly consistent in wanting to be good to him.

After the meal, several girls rushed into the kitchen.

Xie Lingmo's back was uncomfortable, so Zhang Qian pressed her back into the chair.

Jiang Ruyue wanted to show off, so she picked up the plate and ran. Lin Xiaoshuang, afraid she would fall, followed behind supporting the bottom of the plate.

Bai Li walked to the sofa and sat down alone.

On her phone, Li Mengmeng still hadn't replied to the message.

They didn't even collect that 10,000 yuan transfer.

He didn't wait any longer and dialed the number directly.

beep--

The phone rang and then automatically hung up.

Bai Li played it again.

This time it only rang for five seconds before the other side hung up.

Bai Li sat up straight, staring at the call screen.

It's not surprising that Li Mengmeng didn't answer the phone.

This is the first time I've ever hung up on him.

He dialed the number a third time.
