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

Bai Li was already sweating profusely when the girls exposed him on the spot.

He looked at the six faces in front of him and took half a step back.

"You can leave it at that you were eavesdropping."

"Could you please not form a circle?"

Jiang Ruyue raised her hand and pressed it against his shoulder:

"Big stallion, please answer directly."

Who are you most compatible with?

Bai Li glanced around.

Zhang Qian crossed her arms, her blue hair hanging down her chest.

Li Jiaxin stood next to her, her purple hair uncombed, holding half a watermelon in her hand.

Lin Xiaoshuang, the most honest of them all, was counting on her fingers, trying to recall what else Bai Li had said.

Xie Lingmo had just joined the fraud team last night, and her back was still sore, but she still stood up straight.

An Yaoyao was the furthest away, her gray hair hanging over her shoulders, and her ears were bright red.

Only Chen Tingting sat on the sofa armrest, her tongue piercing licking her lips:

"Why are you interrogating him?" Chen Tingting picked up a slice of watermelon. "Don't you know you can't believe a single word a man says in bed?"

Jiang Ruyue turned around: "There's one thing I can believe..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at her with confusion.

Which sentence?

Jiang Ruyue was seen squatting in a horse stance, her two fair arms loosely clasped, rolling her eyes and sticking out her tongue:

"I'm going to die!!"

"Get lost!!" Bai Li smacked Jiang Ruyue, utterly speechless.

"I'm not that sleazy!"

Then he turned to look at Chen Tingting:

"If you keep spreading rumors, I'll give you a lesson on whether your brother and brain can receive blood at the same time."

"Why don't you explain it to me?"

Chen Tingting took a bite of watermelon: "Anyway, I didn't graduate from junior high school, so I don't understand."

Zhang Qian took a step forward.

"Brother, don't change the subject."

"We have to choose one today."

Bai Li glanced down at her phone.

Li Mengmeng has been upstairs for two minutes.

Judging from her behavior just now, she's probably already changed into her pajamas, crawled into bed, and is only showing half her face while waiting for him.

What if the little girl falls asleep if we keep dragging this out?

We must act swiftly and decisively.

Bai Li put her phone away.

"OK."

"I declare that each of you is the perfect match."

Li Jiaxin raised her chin: "I don't want the wholesale answer."

Lin Xiaoshuang nodded: "Big brother is lying."

Xie Lingmo pursed her lips: "Last night you said I was a limited edition."

Zhang Qian sneered: "I'm talking about the heirloom style."

Chen Tingting threw the watermelon rind into the trash can:

"Alright, stop teasing your older brother."

"Mengmeng cried all night yesterday, and she's clinging to him the most today."

"It would be good to let him go up and keep him company."

Lin Xiaoshuang grabbed An Yaoyao's arm and dragged her away from the stairwell:

"Yaoyao, let's go."

"Let's go prepare hot pot."

An Yaoyao was still somewhat unconvinced:

"I'm just worried that she won't get enough rest."

Jiang Ruyue passed by:

"fine."

"Big stallions have hypnotic abilities; if you rock them in bed for half an hour, they'll fall asleep."

"Jiang Ruyue!" Xie Lingmo grabbed a cushion from the sofa and threw it at her.

Jiang Ruyue caught the pillow and turned to look at Bai Li.

Why aren't you leaving yet?

"Are you waiting for us to back out?"

Bai Li raised his hand and straightened his collar.

"Tingting is right."

"My main purpose was to provide companionship and comfort."

Li Jiaxin pointed upstairs.

"Go quickly."

"Remember to lock the door."

Bai Li stopped dawdling and turned to go upstairs.

This time, no one stopped them.

The master bedroom door was unlocked.

Bai Li pushed open the door and went in, but there was no one on the bed.

The quilt was folded neatly, and Li Mengmeng's Kuromi backpack was placed on the bedside table.

There was no sound of water in the bathroom.

Bai Li took two steps inside.

"Mengmeng?"

A soft sound came from the dressing room.

Bai Li opened the door.

Li Mengmeng squatted in front of the wardrobe, holding a metal box in her arms.

She had changed into a white nightgown, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her white stockings were still on.

The tin box contained more than a dozen bracelets and two pieces of old jade.

Li Mengmeng raised her red and swollen eyes.

"Brother Bai Li."

"These are Mengmeng's final dowry."

She pushed the tin box towards Bai Li.

"Could you please accept this?"

Bai Li didn't answer.

He squatted down, closed the metal box, and put it back in the cabinet.

Li Mengmeng grabbed his hand.

"You think it's not enough?"

"few."

Li Mengmeng lowered her head.

Bai Li supported her knees and lifted her up.

"You're missing."

Li Mengmeng paused for a few seconds, then slowly wrapped her arms around his neck.

Bai Li carried her to the bedside.

"Keep the stuff."

"The person belongs to me."

Li Mengmeng buried her face in his shoulder, her voice still very nasal.

"Then you can't return it."

No refund.

"Even if it goes bankrupt, it won't refund?"

No refund.

"Even if there are no white streaks, you still won't remove them?"

Bai Li put her under the covers:

"This needs further discussion."

Li Mengmeng reached out and pinched his waist, finally laughing.
