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

The next morning.

When Bai Li opened his eyes, An Yaoyao was still lying on his chest.

Her long, dark gray hair covered the pillow, with a few strands clinging to her fair face.

She was fast asleep, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, her fingers gripping Bai Li's pajamas tightly.

Last night, that girl who was standing at the door too scared to come in kept herself up until the early hours of the morning, crying several times.

Bai Li raised his arm and brushed the long hair from the side of her face.

A system notification then appeared.

[Congratulations, host! Your investment target An Yaoyao's affection value has increased by 15 points. Current affection value: 94.]

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

The interim rewards have been converted into reward points.

[Current reward points: 5.]

Bai Li stared at the number twice. [Yaoyao has reached ninety-four.]

[Only three reward points are needed to redeem the island.]

[If I try a few more times, I might be able to accumulate 8 points soon...]

At this moment, An Yaoyao moved her head and rubbed her cheek against his chest twice.

"What time is it...?"

"Seven o'clock."

"It's only seven o'clock."

She closed her eyes and shrank into the blankets. Her young body was soft, but her legs were very strong. She lifted them up and put them on Bai Li's waist.

Bai Li patted her on the back.

"Time to get up."

"I won't get up."

"Didn't you say you were going to clean the studio today?" "My back hurts."

An Yaoyao opened her eyes, her large, watery eyes still filled with sleepiness.

She tilted her tender little face up and touched Bai Li's chin with the tip of her nose:

"It's all your fault."

"Who said they were an adult last night?"

"It still hurts even when you're an adult."

She raised her hand and pinched Bai Li's waist, but didn't use much force.

Bai Li grasped her hand: "Can you still walk?"

"able."

An Yaoyao propped herself up on the mattress, but as soon as she put her feet on the ground, her back ached so much that she fell back onto the bed.

She pursed her lips and turned to look at Bai Li:

"What are you laughing at?" "Nothing."

"Your teeth are showing."

Bai Li lifted the covers, got out of bed, bent down, and picked her up.

An Yaoyao wrapped her arms around his neck, and her toes twitched a few times.

"Go wash your face first."

"You still need to brush your teeth."

"I'll pay for it for you."

An Yaoyao buried her face in his shoulder: "Then you're not allowed to laugh at me."

"I have received professional training."

"You said the same thing last night."

Bai Li didn't respond to that, and carried her into the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, the two came downstairs. An Yaoyao had changed into a black and pink short skirt, and her long black and gray hair was tied into a high ponytail.

She held onto the stairs, taking small steps. Her fair, long legs were still strong, but her gait was somewhat unnatural.

Several people in the living room looked up at the same time.

Zhang Qian put down her phone first.

"Yo."

An Yaoyao immediately stood up straight: "What are you saying?"

"It's nothing." Zhang Qian looked her up and down. "Did you fill out your college application last night?"

"smoothly."

Li Jiaxin leaned back on the sofa: "Which school?"

"Yunshi College"

"What's your major?"

Jiang Ruyue, holding a steamed egg custard, peeked half her face out of the restaurant: "Ergonomics."

An Yaoyao grabbed a cushion from the sofa and threw it at him.

Jiang Ruyue lowered her head to avoid it, and the pillow landed on Chen Tingting's lap.

Chen Tingting removed the cushion and patted the spot next to her with a smile.

"Yaoyao, come and sit down."

"I won't sit."

"What's wrong? Did you hurt your butt from filling out your college application forms?"

An Yaoyao's face turned bright red instantly.

"Sister Tingting!"

Lin Xiaoshuang ran out carrying a cup of soy milk: "Don't bully her!"

She went to An Yaoyao's side and took her arm.

"Yaoyao, I'll take you out to eat." Just as An Yaoyao was about to be touched, Lin Xiaoshuang added, "You cried so much last night...it broke my heart."

"..."

An Yaoyao shook her off and walked towards the restaurant alone.

"None of you are good people!"

Xie Lingmo sat at the dining table, her pink hair falling over her shoulders.

She pulled out a chair to make room for An Yaoyao.

"Sit here with me."

An Yaoyao paused, walked over and hugged her arm.

"Sister Lingmo is still the best."

Xie Lingmo served her a bowl of porridge: "Eat first, you have to go to work later."

An Yaoyao took the bowl and asked softly, "Did you do the same thing half a month ago?"

Xie Lingmo stopped eating. The conversation around the table fell silent.

As soon as Bai Li sat down, he noticed that all seven girls were looking at him.

Xie Lingmo's fair ears turned mostly red:

"My condition was worse than yours is now that day."

"Huh? Can't they walk anymore?"

"no."

Xie Lingmo lowered her head and drank her porridge.

"He lied to me again that morning..."

Chen Tingting laughed and leaned back in her chair: "You young people are really healthy."

Jiang Ruyue raised her innocent little face: "Sister Tingting, are you much older than them?"

"roll."

After breakfast, the group boarded the Coaster and headed to the studio. An Yaoyao leaned on Xie Lingmo's shoulder the whole way.

Despite being tired, she was still flipping through the list of majors offered by Yunshi College.

Bai Li sat in the front row and looked back twice.

"Don't rush to choose."

Why?

"It takes four years to study a major, so you can take your time choosing when you get back."

An Yaoyao put down her phone: "So, whatever I choose, will you support me?"

"support."

"What if I choose domestic service and management?"

Bai Li remained silent for two seconds:

"You really enjoy cleaning that much?"

An Yaoyao raised her chin: "I'm already a professional cleaner." Half an hour later, the Coaster stopped in front of the studio.

An Yaoyao was the first to get off the bus.

She pushed open the door of the photography studio, and was about to go to the storage room to get an apron when she saw Wang Wei holding a broom, cleaning up the tape and scraps of paper on the floor.

An Yaoyao walked over quickly:

"Why are you stealing my job?"

Wang Wei looked up at her: "Sister-in-law, did you really think Brother Li sent you to do cleaning?"

"What else would I do if I didn't do cleaning?"

Wang Wei switched the broom to his other hand:

"You're just like yesterday."

"Take a break and have some fun. If we need more roles, you can do a couple more cameo scenes in front of the camera."

He looked down at the broom, his face showing signs of weariness.

"These tasks, after going around in circles, always end up back on my shoulders." Bai Li walked in from behind: "Alright."

"After filming ends in a few days, there won't be any more floors to sweep."

Wang Wei stopped what he was doing and looked around the studio.

The lighting fixtures, scenery, and tracks were all added little by little over the past six months.

"Yes, Brother Li."

Time flies.

Wang Wei leaned the broom against the wall:

"In the blink of an eye, we've been back together for half a year."

"The second season is almost finished filming."

Bai Li looked at him with disgust:

"What do you mean by saying we've been back together for six months?"

Wang Wei scratched his head: "We, the twin stars, are reunited."

After he finished speaking, he chuckled twice.

When Bai Li returned to Ping County, he was still upset about Zhao Min's situation.

At that time, all he wanted was to make something of himself and make Zhao Min regret her actions.

Six months later, Zhao Min went to prison.

He had over a million yuan in his bank account, and Su Mei was waiting for him to come home every day.

Even if he doesn't act anymore, this money is enough for him to live a comfortable life.

Wang Wei looked at Bai Li.

Without Bai Li, he wouldn't even have had the chance to meet Su Mei.

"Brother Li."

"what?"

"Thanks for the past six months." "Don't be so mushy."

Bai Li patted him on the shoulder.

Before Wang Wei could say anything more, Bai Li had already taken two steps toward the photography area.

"After this drama is finished filming, I plan to get married."

Are you coming or not?

Wang Wei's eyes widened.

"Holy crap?"

"marry?"
