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

Bai Li's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained expressionless: "What could you possibly miss? What kind of dream were you having?"

Lin Xiaoshuang's face flushed instantly. She clutched the corner of the blanket helplessly, her eyes darting around, not daring to look at anyone.

"Yes, Jiaxin, you must be dreaming..." Her voice was barely audible, lacking any confidence.

This appearance is practically an admission of guilt.

Chen Tingting leaned against the headboard, her eyes darting back and forth between Bai Li and Lin Xiaoshuang.

She didn't speak, but simply stuck out the tip of her tongue and gently pressed it against her tongue piercing, a playful smile playing on her lips.

Haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run?

Lin Xiaoshuang's captivating charm was undeniable, even to a fool.

Looking at Bai Li again, although he appeared completely at ease,

But the slightly raised collar of his coat looked like it was trying to hide something.

She pretended not to know anything and walked towards Bai Li, leaning close to his ear, her warm breath tickling his ear:

"Big brother..." Her voice was very low, with a hint of barely perceptible grievance and coquettishness.

"Last night...did you...take care of Xiao Shuang?"

Bai Li froze, and Chen Tingting knew she had guessed correctly when she saw this reaction.

Before he could even come up with a way to defend himself, Chen Tingting's next words completely shut him down.

"That's not fair..." She reached out and gently poked Bai Li's chest with her finger, her eyes filled with resentment and boldness:

"Xiaoshuang has condoms, but Jiaxin and I don't."

"I don't care, I want it too."

boom!

It was like a firework exploding in Bai Li's mind.

He had imagined countless possible scenarios of a chaotic battlefield, but he never thought it would be like this!

There were no questions, no arguments, not even jealousy.

The thought process of this "spiritual young woman" is indeed different from that of a normal woman.

Their logic is simple and crude—the eldest brother belongs to everyone, so why should you eat meat while I can't even get soup?

They don't care about possessing everything; they just want to get it for themselves.

Bai Li was both amused and exasperated, unsure how to respond.

By the time Bai Li came to her senses, the three women had already gone out to buy food, and only then did Bai Li have time to check the system panel.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your investment has been successful!]

[Lin Xiaoshuang's affection value reaches 80, triggering a 50x rebate! Receive cash: 50000 yuan!]

50 times!! 50,000 yuan! Bai Li was overjoyed.

In other words, he can earn 147 million a month just by doing nothing and relying on rebates!

Bai Li couldn't imagine how happy her life would be once she reached 100 points of devotion, her investment amount increased, and her return rate doubled!

......

When the three women returned with the food, Bai Li immediately saw Lin Xiaoshuang with her head down, blushing shyly.

Chen Tingting and Li Jiaxin were still jumping around and pestering her like curious children:

"What exactly does it feel like?"

"Did Little Hands drive the bus last night?"

Bai Li had just taken a sip of water when he heard what the two women were saying and almost spat it all out.

He quickly swallowed the water, and Bai Li, his face full of black lines, said:

"What...what the hell are you talking about...?"

"It's none of your business if we're having a private conversation!" Chen Tingting was quite fierce, completely oblivious to the concept of shyness.

"Alright, alright, stop teasing Xiaoshuang. If you really want to try, there will be plenty of opportunities later!" Bai Li wasn't exactly shameless either. He took the food, placed it on the table, and started eating.

"Okay, okay~ I'll be waiting for you, Brother Jing~" Chen Tingting winked and scraped the burrs off the disposable chopsticks before handing them to Bai Li.

After finishing their meal, Bai Li wiped his mouth with Lin Xiaoshuang's help.

"Alright, I have things to do tomorrow, so I need to prepare today. I'll be going now."

Bai Li ignored Chen Tingting and Li Jiaxin's attempts to persuade her to stay, and Lin Xiaoshuang's expression became even more resentful.

Having just grown up, she now most wants to stick close to Bai Li.

But Bai Li, like a seasoned saint, resolutely walked straight out of the room.

He stood for a while in the emergency exit at the end of the corridor, lit a cigarette, and watched the smoke swirl in the dimly lit stairwell.

He didn't stub out his cigarette until he finished it, then turned around and walked back down the corridor.

He bypassed Chen Tingting's room and walked towards the door of Zhang Qian's room next door.

Tomorrow is the class reunion, where she will meet the source of her nightmares.

If I don't spend time with her tonight, given that girl's sensitive and fragile nature, who knows what she'll start overthinking.

"Knock knock knock".

After a while, the sound of slippers scraping the floor came from inside the door.

Zhang Qian stood at the door in her pajamas, her hair disheveled, with obvious dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating she hadn't slept well the night before.

When she saw Bai Li standing at the door, she was completely stunned.

"Big...Big Brother?" Zhang Qian's voice was hoarse and filled with disbelief: "Why...did you come so suddenly?"

"What? You're not welcoming me?"

Bai Li smiled, and without waiting for her invitation, he squeezed into the room and closed the door behind him.

"No...no!" Zhang Qian hurriedly closed the door, standing there helplessly.

"I thought... I thought my older brother would only come to me when he needed an automatic cup..."

Her eyes dimmed slightly, revealing her habitual inferiority complex.

"Am I that heartless?" Bai Li flicked her nose and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I was worried that some fool would be crying alone under the covers tonight, so after thinking it over, I decided to come and keep him company."

Zhang Qian's body trembled violently.

She looked up, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Come here." Bai Li beckoned to her.

Zhang Qian obediently walked over, only to be pulled into Bai Li's arms.

There was no desire, only a warm, comforting embrace.

"Are you thinking about tomorrow?" Bai Li gently patted her back, as if comforting a frightened child. "Afraid of seeing Zhang Yan?"

Zhang Qian buried her face in Bai Li's arms, tears streaming down her face, quickly soaking his coat.

"Big brother... I'm really afraid of embarrassing you."

Zhang Qian's voice was muffled, with a heavy nasal tone.

"Shhh."

Bai Li reached out and pressed his finger against her lips.

He lowered his head, his eyes showing no disdain, only a reassuring firmness.

"Zhang Qian, look at me."

Zhang Qian raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears.

"Tomorrow, you don't need to do anything, and you don't need to please anyone." Bai Li gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his movements incredibly tender.

"All you need to do is wear the most expensive dress I bought you, hold your head high, and stand next to me."

"Anyone who dares to bring up old grievances will never be able to recover for the rest of their life."

Bai Li's voice wasn't loud, but every word was like a nail, hammering into Zhang Qian's wavering heart.

"Big brother..." Zhang Qian couldn't help but hug Bai Li tightly.

Bai Li didn't say anything, he just held her quietly.

He knew that this was a festering sore in Zhang Qian's heart, and it had to be completely squeezed out before new flesh could grow.

After crying for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Qian's emotions finally stabilized, leaving only occasional sobs.

She slipped out of Bai Li's arms somewhat shyly, her eyes resolute:

"With my older brother here, I'm not afraid."

Bai Li looked at the woman in his arms, his eyes flickering slightly.

tomorrow.

Zhang Yan, Zhao Gang, and Xia Qing, who loves watching the excitement.

I will end your last bit of pride.
