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

boom--

Li Mengmeng felt like her head was about to burst into smoke.

Her face flushed instantly, and the heat burned all the way from her neck to the back of her ears.

My heart was pounding, and I even felt a little short of breath.

That move... is so unfair!

Bai Li had taken care of her when they were in school.

At that time, all her money was borrowed by Xia Qing, and she had no money for food. Bai Li bought bread and milk and watched her wolf down the food. He wiped her mouth with a helpless yet doting attitude.

In an instant, time overlapped.

The man before me had become more mature and charming, but his unique gentleness remained unchanged.

"No...nothing..." Li Mengmeng's voice was as soft as a lump of mud, and she seemed to melt into the chair.

She looked at Bai Li, her eyes glazed over, and said, "Brother... is still so good."

[Ding! Li Mengmeng is deeply moved by a flashback.]

[Affection Points +10, Current Affection Points: 40 (More than friends, less than lovers).]

Bai Li withdrew his hand, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

This girl's practical skills are all water; she loses her bearings with just a little provocation.

opposite.

Zhang Qian saw all of this.

A tremendous sense of loss overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.

When my older brother and Li Mengmeng were together, the scene was so beautiful and so clean.

Just like the male and female leads in an idol drama.

And what about yourself?

Zhang Qian lowered her head, silently shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth, and felt that the grouper in her mouth had lost its flavor.

Perhaps... only a clean and pure girl like this is worthy of my older brother.

Someone like me should be content to be a cup for my older brother, even if it's just for fun.

......

After the dinner, the three walked to the parking lot.

Li Mengmeng's car is a BMW MINI, and the pink body matches her soft and sweet personality.

"Well... brother, I'll go back now?" Li Mengmeng stood by the car door, her hands behind her back, her shoe tips drawing circles on the ground.

"Okay, drive carefully." Bai Li waved his hand decisively. "Send a message when you get home."

"……oh."

Li Mengmeng pouted in disappointment, then added unwillingly, "See you the day after tomorrow! Make sure you dress smartly and outshine that Zhao Gang!"

Watching the pink car slowly pull out of the parking lot, glancing back every few steps, Bai Li finally turned and walked towards her Panamera.

The carriage was very quiet.

Zhang Qian sat in the passenger seat, staring blankly at the receding pillars outside the window ever since she got in the car.

She carefully gathered the expensive dark green dress between her legs, afraid of wrinkling it.

The car drove out of the mall and merged into the evening rush hour traffic.

red light.

Bai Li stopped the car, tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel twice, and glanced at Zhang Qian.

This girl has had a "I'm superfluous" expression ever since we started eating, and now she's radiating a sense of dejection.

"What are you thinking about?" Bai Li took out a cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette, but didn't light it, just played with it in his hand.

"Huh?" Zhang Qian was startled and quickly turned her head, waving her hands in a flustered manner: "No... I wasn't thinking anything. I just thought... that Li Mengmeng from earlier was pretty nice."

She lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer: "She's beautiful, her family is rich, and she has a lovely personality. She and you... are quite a good match."

Bai Li didn't speak, and the air in the carriage froze for a few seconds.

The green light is on.

The car started up again. Bai Li held the steering wheel with one hand, but suddenly reached out with the other hand and grabbed Zhang Qian's cold hand that was resting on her knee.

Zhang Qian trembled and instinctively tried to shrink back.

"What are you hiding for?" Bai Li's grip was very strong, giving her no chance to escape. He interlocked his fingers and pressed her hand firmly onto the gear shift.

"Zhang Qian, you'll remember this."

Bai Li stared straight ahead, his voice steady yet carrying an undeniable power: "Li Mengmeng is Li Mengmeng, and you are you. There's no question of whether you're a good match or not."

"But..." Zhang Qian's eyes were a little red, and that sense of inferiority was pricking her heart like needles: "My past... and Zhang Yan and the others... I'm afraid I'll embarrass you, big brother."

"Shameful?"

Bai Li chuckled, gently rubbing his thumb on the back of her hand: "Who dares to say that the people I, Bai Li, take out are shameful?"

"and……"

He suddenly slowed down, turned his head, and stared intently at Zhang Qian with his captivating eyes, his gaze filled with an aggressive possessiveness.

"Whether in the past or in the future, as long as I don't agree, no one has the right to look down on you."

These words were like a thunderclap, directly cleaving through the thick gloom in Zhang Qian's heart.

It wasn't the usual sweet talk of "I will protect you," but rather an almost domineering declaration of sovereignty.

In his eyes, she was not the despised "spiritual younger sister," but his "private property."

Since it belongs to him, it is precious and should not be trampled on by others.

To Zhang Qian, this strange logic sounded like the most beautiful love confession in the world.

If even the eldest brother doesn't mind... then what are the others?

"Big brother..." Zhang Qian's voice choked with sobs as she gripped Bai Li's hand tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh. "I...I understand."

Zhang Qian sniffed, and finally a smile appeared on her face.

Looking at Bai Li's handsome profile, her heart was overflowing with love.

Since my brother has put it this way...

Then one must also fulfill one's own responsibilities.

Zhang Qian's eyes gradually became somewhat piercing, a look of straightforwardness and passion unique to this spirited young woman.

She shifted slightly to make herself more comfortable, and her long, slit skirt slid down, revealing a large expanse of her fair legs.

"Big brother."

Zhang Qian's voice became a little hoarse, with a hint of nasal tone from recent crying, making it sound exceptionally alluring.

"I ate a bit too much just now..."

She gently scratched Bai Li's palm with her fingers, like a cat being affectionate.

"How about we go back to the hotel and stay in my room for a while?"

"I've been practicing yoga these past few days, which will help you... digest your food."
