The twin tails felt nice to hold, and with the two of them so close, Bai Ye could play with them freely.
Although this statement is somewhat ambiguous, Luo Qingyan enjoyed it very much. In her opinion, the more Bai Ye was fond of her ponytail, the more he was fond of her behavior.
Her outfit today was clearly a great success, which made her feel quite pleased with herself.
It's only a matter of time before I surpass my seniors.
The little girl was very lively throughout the journey, which brought a smile to Bai Ye's face.
Luo Qingyan is like a ray of sunshine, with an exceptionally rich range of expressions that evoke a protective instinct in people.
One can imagine that this little girl was undoubtedly a treasure at home, receiving all the love and pampering from her family.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye's heart grew heavier.
He thought of what the little girl had experienced in high school.
Even if schools try their best to prevent bullying, it is difficult to guarantee that it will never happen.
Bai Ye has seen a lot of bullying.
There was a lot of bullying when he was in elementary school in town. At that time, there was a classmate in his class who acted like a bully at school and had connections with people who were more involved in the underworld.
Bai Ye and he have a good relationship, so Bai Ye wouldn't become a target of bullying. (Based on my own elementary school experience, maintaining a good relationship with someone who's somewhat involved in organized crime means letting them copy your homework, etc. You don't need to be very close to them, but at least they won't target you.)
I encountered less bullying in junior high and high school, but it still happened. Because it was a boarding school, the fights usually happened after the holidays.
The final result was obvious: upon returning to school, one student was bruised and battered, while the other had to suspend their studies.
He never expected that Luo Qingyan, such a cute child, would be bullied.
Because the cuter a child is, the more important they are in the eyes of students, the more popular they are, and the less likely they are to be bullied.
Bai Ye wasn't very familiar with the specifics.
The story goes something like this: a child from a powerful local family, jealous of Luo Qingyan's popularity, conspired with other girls to ostracize and isolate her, even...
This caused her to have some mental health issues, resulting in mild depression.
He then dropped out of school and immersed himself in the game world, cutting himself off from the outside world.
That's how Bai Ye got to know her.
Bai Ye actually felt very sorry for this little girl.
Don't be fooled by how lively and cheerful this little girl appears in front of him.
But this little girl is actually quite socially anxious when he's not around. She hates crowded places and hates being stared at by others.
Her indifference towards outsiders was actually a forced disguise; apart from those close to her, she had no other friends.
She had a casual relationship with her roommates in school, and she couldn't fit into that circle. Bai Ye was the only person she was familiar with in school.
She is essentially a little girl who is afraid of outsiders.
This is also why Bai Ye has never really wanted to face Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan's appearance was extremely cute, so Bai Ye naturally liked her.
But the love the little girl showed was more like a sense of dependence, an emotion that naturally arose from being abandoned by everyone.
The deeper Luo Qingyan's dependence on him, the more inseparable he became from her.
Bai Ye didn't know what choices he would make in the future, but if he didn't choose Luo Qingyan, then that little girl would definitely be the one who was hurt the most.
Having finally found someone to rely on and escaped the misery of isolation and bullying, the consequences of losing that person are immeasurable.
Bai Ye understands this principle, and so do her family members.
Therefore, no one interfered with Luo Qingyan's choice or her thoughts.

Cat cafes are cafes primarily themed around cats.
Cats are the main attraction. People go to cat cafes not primarily to drink coffee, but to play with the cats, which helps relieve stress and loneliness.
This seems to have become a way for many young people in the city to relieve stress.
Bai Ye had never been to a cat cafe, but she had heard of it as a way to relieve stress.
They also have a great fondness for cute kittens.
He always sees adorable kittens in videos and is always completely charmed by their cuteness.
And expressed a strong desire to pet the cat.
But every time he sees a kitten, he doesn't dare to touch it; he seems to have a natural fear of animals.
It wouldn't be accurate to call it fear; he found it adorable, but he had never experienced it and didn't understand what it felt like, so he kept rejecting such an experience.
It's a feeling of difficulty accepting new things.
It took a lot of determination for me to accompany her to the cat cafe this time.
Luo Qingyan asked expectantly, "Does your home have cats, Senior?"
"without."
He doesn't have any animals at home, let alone a kitten.
He used to keep dogs when he lived in the countryside, but they were Shiba Inus used to guard the house, and he didn't like them.
Kittens only became popular in modern times. When I was a child, there were many stray cats in the countryside, but I didn't feel that they were cute and I wanted to pet them. Instead, I kept my distance.
Luo Qingyan was particularly eager: "I have a Ragdoll cat named Kate, she's very cute. Would you like to come to my house to see her next time, senior?"
"I'll definitely go if I have the chance."
As for when there will be an opportunity, Bai Ye can only say there is absolutely no chance, because he doesn't want to face pressure from Luo Qingyan's parents and her two older brothers.
Luo Qingyan became excited when Bai Ye agreed: "Senior, let me tell you, I'll drive Kate..." *?((???))?*
Seeing the little girl getting more and more excited as she talked, Bai Ye didn't want to disturb her, so he could only listen patiently.
No matter what, as long as the little girl is happy.
After all, the main purpose of this trip was to make up for the regret of not being able to accompany the little girl to the cat cafe yesterday.

In harem novels, no matter how the male lead is written, he can't avoid being a scumbag.
If the protagonist is considered a scumbag now, then that's certainly true.
So I'm having the male lead change little by little.
Let's briefly summarize the male protagonist's feelings for each of the female protagonists.
The male lead's feelings for Luo Qingyan stemmed from her past trauma and bullying, which led her to see him as a savior. Consequently, she became dependent on him, and the male lead, not wanting to hurt her, appeared to be a jerk.
The male protagonist's feelings for Yao Yuyan stemmed from his ex-girlfriend. He had once desired her, but after the breakup, he actually obtained her. His feelings for Yao hadn't completely disappeared, but he didn't want to admit it. Or rather, a year had passed without Yao falling in love with him, yet she fell in love with him when he left. His unrequited love made it difficult for him to let go.
Needless to say, his feelings for Su Zhimeng were like an angel, always comforting him when he was down. He was captivated by this care, so he also developed feelings for Su Zhimeng.
Xia Qingyue, on the other hand, is a "suddenly appearing" type. She always appears in the guise of taking care of the male lead. From disliking men because of her family background to falling in love with the male lead, she spoils him in every way and takes good care of his feelings. She is rich and beautiful, so it would be a lie for the male lead to say that he is not moved.
As for Ye Qingcheng, the two had known each other for a long time. Ye Qingcheng had received a lot of support from Bai Ye from her humble beginnings to where she is now. The two were confidantes online and friends in real life. She embodied all sorts of aspirations that Bai Ye had for online goddesses. Bai Ye was also used to her, as if she were an indispensable necessity in his life.
First of all, this is a harem novel; secondly, this is a harem novel; and finally, this is a harem novel.
It has a realistic template, but that can't hide the fact that the novel is fictional.
Don't take it too seriously; read rationally.
