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

My brain is throbbing with pain.

It's hard to imagine what kind of rebellious clothes Jiang Ruyue, a well-behaved rich girl, could afford.

Could this naive girl think she's a socialite just because she bought a boy's jacket?

"I have something to ask you," Bai Li said, glancing through the rearview mirror at the three energetic young women in the back seat who were arguing over an orange.

"What's up, bro?" Lin Xiaoshuang asked, her mouth stuffed with half a segment of orange, her cheeks bulging like a hamster.

"Where did you guys hang out before you met me?"

Without even thinking, Chen Tingting asked, "Where else could we go?"

"Besides playing Audition Online all night at internet cafes, I would go to billiard halls to borrow cues and play. If I ran out of money, I would just stroll around the commercial street."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Jiaxin added, "They absolutely have to walk in a straight line, that's called 'street-smashing'! It gets tons of stares!"

"..." Bai Li was speechless for a moment. This way of causing a scene was really simple and unpretentious.

"What's wrong, bro? You want to cause a ruckus too?" Lin Xiaoshuang curiously leaned closer. "Then you'd better take off that trench coat and put on some skinny jeans and loafers, otherwise it won't have the right feel."

"Go away, who wants to cause trouble with you guys?" Bai Li touched his nose, his eyes darting around, revealing a guilty conscience.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that a friend of mine is really curious about your 'free and easy' lifestyle and wants to experience it."

The air in the carriage was silent for a second.

The three girls exchanged a glance, and their radar activated instantly.

Chen Tingting frowned, sensing that things were not so simple.

She leaned forward, resting her head on the back of the passenger seat, her eyes, painted with smoky makeup, fixed on Bai Li's profile.

"Friends?" Chen Tingting drawled, "Male or female?"

Bai Li kept his eyes fixed ahead, pretending to concentrate on driving: "Ahem... a woman."

How big?

"Just...just turned 18..."

Holy crap!

"Eighteen years old?!" Chen Tingting pointed at Bai Li, her fingers trembling. "Big brother, are you even human? That's a flower bud that's just come of age! How could you do that to her?"

"Exactly!" Li Jiaxin exclaimed indignantly, "I thought you were already a beast enough with the three of us being nineteen! I never expected you to go looking for someone even younger!"

Lin Xiaoshuang covered her mouth and said, "Big brother, so this is your type... No wonder you made me change into that JK uniform last night, so that's why..."

Bai Li's forehead veins throbbed: "Shut up! What nonsense! They're just ordinary friends! They just wanted to experience life!"

"Tch—" Chen Tingting rolled her eyes, clearly not believing a single punctuation mark.

She suddenly sighed, her tone shifting to a wistful, even slightly seductive, tone:

"But brother... it would be better if you were a real beast."

As she spoke, she deliberately tugged at her collar, revealing the patch of snow-white skin below her collarbone:

"It's just Jing Xiaoshuang... that's so unfair. Last night, that little bitch Zhang Qian even mocked me, saying I had no charm..."

"Jiaxin and I...it's cold at night too..."

Although Li Jiaxin didn't say anything, she silently shifted the position of her long legs, her eyes glazing intently at the back of Bai Li's head.

Lin Xiaoshuang, that girl, was always eager for a good show, nodding frantically like she was pounding garlic:

"Exactly! Sister Tingting is right! Big brother, just be a beast! I also want to see Sister Tingting crying and begging for mercy!"

This little brat knows she's no match for Bai Li going all out, so she tries to drag her two older sisters down with her, so they'll all be "one of us".

"Who told you little hussies to be so unruly all the time, always hanging around in front of me?" Bai Li tapped Chen Tingting on the forehead in annoyance.

"Last night was an accident! It was because Xiaoshuang was cosplaying as a sprinkler truck in the middle of the night that I couldn't resist..."

"Ouch!" Chen Tingting covered her forehead, not annoyed at all. Instead, she grabbed Bai Li's hand and tickled his palm.

Bai Li withdrew his hand and said seriously:

"Alright, let's get down to business. That friend of mine is a bit naive and overly simplistic. She lives in a very repressive environment and thinks being a 'cool' girl is really cool, so she wants to rebel a bit."

"Okay, I'll pick her up in a bit, and the three of you will be in charge of showing her around for a day." Bai Li looked at them through the rearview mirror:

"There's only one mission—scare her back. Let her know that being a 'little psychopath' isn't so easy, and make her completely give up that idea."

"That's it?" Chen Tingting raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat uninterested.

"After it's done..." Bai Li paused, giving Chen Tingting a meaningful look, "I'll give you a chance these next few nights."

Chen Tingting's eyes lit up instantly, like a 200-watt light bulb.

Her previous languidness vanished instantly, and she straightened up immediately:

"Brother, is what you say true?"

"I'll assess the situation; just make sure you don't prove useless," Bai Li smiled, not giving a definitive answer.

"Deal!" Chen Tingting slapped her thigh. "Leave it to me."

Li Jiaxin and Lin Xiaoshuang were also excited, as if they could already see the scene of that naive and innocent girl being made to question her life by them.

"I've received the address. Let's go there now."

Bai Li glanced at the location Jiang Ruyue had sent.

Half Moon Bay.

That was the second richest area in Ping County after Yunding Tiangong. It was inhabited by locals who were skilled in martial arts. Although it was not as luxurious and imposing as Yunding Tiangong, it was quiet and elegant.

It's not far, just a short drive away.

In less than ten minutes, Palamera entered the sycamore-lined avenue in Half Moon Bay.

"Where? Where?" Three heads crowded around the car window, looking out.

"They said it was at the alley entrance..." Bai Li slowed down, his eyes searching in front of the gates of the villas.

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a splash of red at the intersection ahead.

It was a furtive figure, huddled behind a telephone pole, peeking out cautiously.

"Holy crap..." After seeing the person's attire, Bai Li subconsciously stepped on the brakes.

The person was wearing a red bodysuit and leggings, with a "Want Want" doll logo printed on the chest.

But the key point is...

This girl's figure is a bit too much.

Poor Wangzai, his eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets because of that impressive bust.

And if you look further down, it gets even more incredible.

In the dead of winter, this person had rolled up his sleeves, revealing colorful tattoos on his arms.

Her face wasn't idle either.

Her brow bone was covered in sparkling rhinestones, and her lips were also covered in lip piercings.

The most outrageous thing was that she also wore one of those flamboyant, multicolored wigs typical of the "emo" subculture, making her look like a feather duster that had come to life.

But all this exaggerated, tacky, and even somewhat outrageous attire couldn't hide that face.

It was a fair, innocent face, with a hint of naivety from not having experienced the ways of the world.

Those eyes were as clear as a spring, and now they were nervously darting around.

This extreme blend of purity and tacky, over-the-top style creates a bizarre yet captivating chemical reaction.

"Who is this?" Chen Tingting's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "When did Ping County produce such a genius? This aesthetic... is a bit outdated..."

Bai Li didn't dare to admit it either.

He thought that although Jiang Ruyue's thought process was a bit peculiar, she wouldn't turn herself into a walking Want Want Milk, would she?

"I guess some young lady is waiting here to meet her online boyfriend in person." Bai Li shook his head and released the brake to drive over.

Just as the car glided past the red figure.

Suddenly, the "Want Want" logo moved.

With her long legs, she rushed to the Panamera's side in a few strides and yanked open the passenger door.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

Bai Li was startled and instinctively tried to protect the gear shift.

A pleasant, youthful scent mixed with the aroma of milk wafted into the car.

The red figure darted in, plopped down in the passenger seat, and quickly closed the door.

Bai Li looked at the face so close to his, those big eyes, distorted by the Want Want milk, were looking at him innocently.

Hmm...it looks somewhat familiar.

Immediately, an unbelievable figure appeared in Bai Li's mind.

Bai Li's eyes widened, and his voice became somewhat distorted:

"Jiang Ru..."

Just as he was about to call out his name, a soft little hand covered his mouth.

"Shh!!!"

Jiang Ruyue's eyes widened, and she put her other hand to her mouth, desperately gesturing for silence.

She nervously hunched her shoulders and peered out through the crack in the car window; her guilty look was so adorable it was almost unfair.

"Let's go first...we'll talk later!"
