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

"Just tell me, do you dare or not?!"

Bai Li's eyes widened, her head buzzing.

Is this how you ask someone to prove they are attractive?

This is what makes her so rebellious; a normal girl wouldn't do something that hurts both herself and the enemy so much.

"Are you crazy, Chen Tingting?!" Zhang Qian was also stunned. She hadn't expected Chen Tingting to be such a pragmatist!

Lin Xiaoshuang covered her face shyly. It had to be Sister Tingting; she was too high-profile, too unrestrained...

Bai Li was about to say a few words to calm these ladies down.

As a result, Li Jiaxin, who had been silent the whole time, moved.

That's because, apart from Chen Tingting, who asked Bai Li to play the Secret Dam game, only Li Jiaxin hadn't tried to trick Bai Li.

Since everyone's shameless, who's afraid of whom?

She took a step forward and stood next to Chen Tingting.

Then, he suddenly bent over.

"Snapped!"

In the same position, with the same force, she was wearing stretchy yoga pants, and the sound was crisper and more alluring than jeans.

"Together, everyone! Good things come to all! You're not the only one who's blessed! Tingting, don't even think about getting ahead of us!"

"Holy crap..." Zhang Qian was completely dumbfounded.

Isn't this plot development a bit too ahead of its time?

"What do you want?"

"Are you having a music party here?" Bai Li felt a throbbing pain in her temples. Was this the price of having too many suitors?

This is no palace, it's clearly a spider's web.

With a dark expression, he kicked each of them.

"Stand up straight, all of you!"

"You're all almost 20, have you no shame?" Bai Li asserted her patriarchal authority: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who acts recklessly?"

Chen Tingting and Li Jiaxin straightened up, clutching their buttocks. Although they were still a little indignant, Bai Li's shout had somewhat weakened their momentum.

"Then...then tell me, brother, who is more charming, me or Zhang Qian?" Chen Tingting was still unwilling to give up and insisted on getting an answer.

"Charm isn't something you can compete on with this stuff."

Bai Li sighed, knowing that reasoning with these stubborn girls was useless; she had to distract them.

"Alright, stop fooling around. We're all here now, let's get down to business."

Bai Li looked at the group of girls behind him who would never be associated with the word "well-behaved" in their lives.

"I've found you a job."

Upon hearing this, the tense atmosphere that had been brewing due to jealousy instantly dissipated.

Lin Xiaoshuang had a bitter face, looking like a wilted eggplant:

"Big brother...you're not going to an electronics factory to tighten screws, are you?"

"That's right, brother." Li Jiaxin frowned as well. "If I have to serve dishes and wash dishes, I might as well be killed. If my tattooed legs are exposed, I'm afraid they'll scare the customers."

Chen Tingting even plopped down on the toilet seat, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

"As long as it's not serving people, it's fine. Those troublesome customers are too much; I'm afraid I won't be able to resist slapping them."

Seeing their half-dead state, Bai Li couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not about tightening screws or serving dishes."

Bai Li turned around, leaned against the sink, and said slowly, "It's about becoming an actress."

"What?!"

Three voices rang out simultaneously.

The few people who were barely alive just moments ago now had excited glints in their eyes.

"Act...actor? Like, the kind who appears on TV?"

Lin Xiaoshuang jumped up excitedly, grabbing Bai Li's arm and shaking it:

"Really, bro? I can be a star?"

"Damn, this is awesome!" Li Jiaxin touched her chin, her eyes shining brightly. "I've always felt that it's a waste of my figure not to play a female gang leader."

Even Chen Tingting put out her cigarette, somewhat incredulous.

"Brother, don't kid us. We didn't even finish junior high school, we can't read a single word. All the actors are graduates of those kinds of academies, do you think we can do it?"

This is their biggest weakness.

Without education or formal qualifications, one can only drift along the bottom of society.

Although she usually acts loud and boisterous, she is actually very insecure deep down.

"Who says you can't act if you're not educated?"

Bai Li looked at them, her tone resolute:

"I'm making a short drama, and what I'm looking for is that wild energy you guys have. The kind of acting done by academics is too fake, it just doesn't feel right."

"As long as you are obedient and willing to learn, I guarantee I can make you famous."

Bai Li spoke with great confidence.

Just kidding, the [Top Web Series Director] talent given by the system isn't just for show. Plus, with these few spirited young ladies who come with their own built-in traffic magnets, if this doesn't become a hit, he'll eat Panamera alive.

"Really?" Zhang Qian also came closer, her face full of hope.

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"Let's do it!" Chen Tingting slapped her thigh, exclaiming with boundless enthusiasm, "We'll do whatever our big brother tells us to do! Forget acting, I'd be happy to play a dead body!"

"Yes! Let's do it too!"

The girls instantly perked up, completely forgetting all the unpleasantness from before.

He's going to be an actor!

If those classmates and relatives who used to look down on them knew this, wouldn't they be green with envy?

This is something that will bring honor to our ancestors!

Watching them chatter excitedly like a flock of birds just released from their cages, discussing what roles they would play in the future, Bai Li's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

This is the "spirited young lady".

Although they haven't seen much of the world and sometimes act without thinking, they can unleash amazing enthusiasm if given a little hope or recognition.

"Alright, we'll talk about the specifics after the New Year. I'm still writing the script."

Bai Li waved his hand, feeling the fatigue of the day wash over him like a tide.

Punishing Zhao Gang during the day, serving Zhang Qian at night, and then dealing with lawsuits when I get back—even the donkeys in the production team aren't this tired.

"Everyone, let's go home and get some sleep. I'm exhausted."

Bai Li yawned and walked straight to the bedroom.

"Okay, big brother!"

Several people readily agreed.

Zhang Qian stood still, watching Lin Xiaoshuang and the others surround Bai Li as they entered the house like stars around the moon. Although there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes, she knew when to stop.

One shouldn't be too greedy. She's already eaten all by herself tonight. If she doesn't know better, she'll incur the wrath of everyone.

"Well, big brother... I'm going back now," Zhang Qian called out from the doorway.

"Okay, go back and get some sleep." Bai Li's lazy voice came from inside the house.

Zhang Qian pursed her lips, turned around, and went back to the next room.

......

Two large beds pushed together are indeed quite spacious.

Bai Li lay in the middle, and Lin Xiaoshuang, that little brat, was the fastest and immediately took over the position to Bai Li's right.

"Big brother smells so good..." Lin Xiaoshuang took a deep breath, looking completely intoxicated.

Although Li Jiaxin was a step slower, she still managed to get a spot on the left.

Her purple hair was scattered on the pillow, and she was lying on her side. Her long legs, striped with roses, were draped over Bai Li's calves, cool yet fiery.

As for Chen Tingting...

Because there wasn't enough space, she could only slept sullenly next to Li Jiaxin, on the outermost side.

"You purple-haired bastard, move over there! You're squeezing me to death!" Chen Tingting kicked Li Jiaxin in annoyance.

"The bed is so big, why do you have to squeeze in here? Whose fault is that?" Li Jiaxin didn't hold back and pinched Chen Tingting's waist.

"Stop making noise and go to sleep!" Bai Li shouted with his eyes closed.

The three women listened to Bai Li and kept quiet, and the world finally became quiet.

But the quietness is only superficial.

The [Succubus Fragrance] rewarded by the system was practically the most potent catalyst in this enclosed space.

Bai Li could clearly feel that the two bodies beside him were getting hotter and hotter, and their breathing was becoming more and more rapid.

Lin Xiaoshuang's small hand had already slipped inside his clothes and was touching his abs.

Although Li Jiaxin wasn't as direct, she still put her leg on Bai Li's body.

Bai Li felt like she was being tortured.

On one side is the direct attack of a cute and innocent girl, and on the other side is the flirtatious glances of a cool and sassy older sister.

He reached out and pressed down on Lin Xiaoshuang's fidgeting hands, and then pushed Li Jiaxin's legs down.

"Behave yourself. Go to sleep."

"Big brother..." Lin Xiaoshuang breathed into his ear, her voice so soft and sweet it could be drawn out like silk, "Just for a little while... You could do it yesterday..."

"Next time for sure." Bai Li rolled over, giving a typical scumbag's answer.

Li Jiaxin bit her lip in the darkness, feeling somewhat unwilling, but hearing Bai Li's slightly heavy breathing, she knew he was truly exhausted, so she didn't insist any longer.

Anyway, there's plenty of time in the future.

Just as Bai Li was drifting off to sleep...

"Buzz—"

My phone, which was next to my pillow, vibrated.

Bai Li picked it up with some irritation, the glaring screen light making him squint.

It was a WeChat message from Li Mengmeng.

Why is this rich little girl acting crazy again, staying up so late at night?

[Mengmeng: Brother Bai Li, what are you doing?]

Bai Li typed with one hand and replied perfunctorily.

[Bai Li: Time to go to sleep.]

back in seconds.

[Mengmeng: With whom? It's not that little blue-haired guy, is it?]

This girl, checking up on me before anything's even started? She's getting a little possessive!

Bai Li glanced at Lin Xiaoshuang, who was practically drooling, and curled the corners of his lips.

Bai Li: No. It's Xiao Shuang, the little blondie.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end.

It's probably because Li Mengmeng is imagining scenes, and her CPU is a bit overloaded.

After a while, a message popped up, containing only one word.

[Mengmeng: Damn!]

Bai Li raised an eyebrow as he looked at the word.

And at this very moment.

Next to Villa No. 1, Yunding Tiangong.

Li Mengmeng lay on the princess bed, gritting her teeth as she continued typing:

[Sorry, Brother Bai Li, I didn't mean to swear, it's just...aren't there a lot of girls around you?]

Before she could even send that message, she received a message from Bai Li.

[Bai Li, brother: Received!]

"Received...received?"

Her big eyes blinked repeatedly, her long eyelashes fluttering.

Li Mengmeng picked up her phone and continued typing:

【Wait... I haven't finished speaking yet! What do you mean by "you received"?!】

Sudden.

Her movements froze.

A thought that was inappropriate for children struck her innocent little mind like lightning.

No...no, it can't be what I think...

Li Mengmeng frantically typed and sent the message:

[Brother Bai Li, what are you doing?]

Brother Bai Li, please don't ignore me!

【Brother Bai Li!!】

Please pay attention to me! ......

[Brother Bai Li, you didn't really go and do *that*, did you...?]

[Brother Bai Li, please, please let that blond-haired guy go a little slower with his clothes on, okay? It hurts me; don't hurt yourself.]

however.

There was no further reply.

Only the long, dark night and her aching, bitter heart remained.
