Bai family
Grandpa Bai sat on the sofa in the living room, glancing at the door every now and then.
I glanced at the clock on the wall occasionally, and it was already past ten o'clock.
"Grandpa!" Bai Qianmo exclaimed as she entered the room.
Old Bai gripped his cane with both hands and stared at her intently.
"So you know to come back? I heard from Yitang that you didn't go to school today? Were you really sick?"
Bai Qianmo pretended to be calm and sat down next to Bai Lao: "After attending the Weibo Night last night, I had dinner with some friends and drank some wine, so I stayed at a nearby hotel for the night."
Simply omitting a crucial step in the middle doesn't count as lying to the elderly, does it?
Old Bai stared at Bai Qianmo suspiciously: "Why was it A-Ye who called Yi-Tang to ask for leave for you? Were you two together last night?"
Bai Qianmo's heart skipped a beat, and she forced a smile: "I was drunk last night, and Gu Jueye booked the hotel for me, but don't misunderstand, there's nothing between us."
Old Bai narrowed his eyes: "I didn't say you had anything, what are you explaining?"
A row of black lines appeared on Bai Qianmo's forehead as she wiped the cold sweat from her palms.
Okay, she was feeling guilty.
Old Bai chuckled and said, "When I first met your grandmother, I was captivated by her beauty. All the descendants of the Bai family are obsessed with looks. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? I'm not worried about what A-Ye will do to you, but I'm more worried that you might do something to a promising young man while you're drunk."
Bai Qianmo: "..."
He really is a grandfather; his words are exactly like a live version of Sherlock Holmes's recollections.
She did indeed take advantage of her drunkenness to...

Having safely passed Elder Bai's test, Bai Qianmo returned to her room to wash up and go to sleep.
Lying in bed, Gu Jueye's image kept flashing through my mind.
He's all I can think about; even with my eyes closed, his face immediately comes to mind.
Blinking, Bai Qianmo stared blankly at the ceiling for a while.
So this is what it means to care about someone so much after you fall in love with them.
"bite"
A WeChat message came through.
Bai Qianmo picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Gu Jueye. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Gu Jueye: "Are you asleep?"
Bai Qianmo opened the chat box and replied, "Not yet, are you home yet?"
Gu Jueye opened the door, casually placed his car keys on the wine cabinet to the right of the entrance, changed into slippers, and immediately started a video call.
Bai Qianmo was startled when she saw the video call.
She jumped out of bed, ran to the dressing table, carefully tidied her hair, and made sure her appearance was perfect before pressing the answer button.
On the other end of the video, Gu Jueye leaned lightly against the railing on the balcony, one hand unbuttoning his shirt.
Even through a video call, it still exudes a seductive allure.
Bai Qianmo unconsciously swallowed, trying to change the subject: "You just got home?"
"Okay, is it convenient to take a video call now?"
Bai Qianmo stood up from the dressing table, walked to the bedside and turned on the wall lamp: "I've already gone back to my room."
"Grandpa Bai didn't make things difficult for you?"
Bai Qianmo thought of what her grandfather had just said and curled her lips speechlessly.
"Not only did he not make things difficult for me, the old man was practically a mind reader; he could guess everything I did."
Upon hearing Bai Qianmo's words, Gu Jueye paused for a few seconds, then chuckled knowingly.
"So Grandpa Bai knows what you did to me last night?"
Bai Qianmo's cheeks flushed, and she glared at the other person in annoyance.
"The old man just said that even if I were to stay in the same room as you, it would be because I was drunk that I did something to you!"
Gu Jueye couldn't help but chuckle softly: "No wonder he's my grandfather."
The person awkwardly touched their forehead, feeling a pang of annoyance.
A whole day was enough for her to remember everything that happened last night.
She was the one who forcibly kissed him, and then she was the one who pushed him to the ground.
Moreover, I vaguely remember that at the most crucial moment, he asked her very seriously if she knew what she was doing.
She actually silenced him with a deep kiss.
She did try to resist at first, but she was too aggressive...

Early the next morning
The alarm clock rang precisely at seven o'clock.
Bai Qianmo lay there for several minutes before listlessly sitting up.
I chatted with Gu Jueye until after 1 a.m. last night before hanging up the video call, and then I couldn't fall asleep no matter how much I tossed and turned.
Love can make you an idiot, and it can also cause insomnia; she has truly experienced this firsthand.
After washing up, I went to the restaurant.
Old Bai and Xu Hualan were having breakfast at the dining table when Bai Qianmo came in. Xu Hualan's gaze lingered on Bai Qianmo's face for a few seconds before she smiled and said, "Qianmo, you're up! Today's breakfast is your favorite tofu pudding with fried dough sticks. Sit down and eat."
Bai Qianmo walked to the empty seat next to Xu Hualan, sat down, picked up a fried dough stick, took a bite, and ate it casually.
Xu Hualan peeled a hard-boiled egg and placed it in Bai Qianmo's bowl: "Have an egg."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Old Bai sipped his tofu pudding and glanced at Xu Hualan and Bai Qianmo.
"Your aunt knows you like fried dough sticks and tofu pudding, so she went to the most famous breakfast shop nearby and queued up to buy them for you. You must be good to your aunt from now on."
Bai Qianmo felt a surge of warmth in her heart: "My aunt is like my mother, and I will definitely be filial to her in the future."
