Oh no! My online romance partner is actually a Miao holy maiden!

Shirono gasped.

He didn't want his other half to suffer the same fate as Xiaoqing.

He hunched over, like a thief stealing sweet potatoes, and quickly fled the scene through the fire escape at the back door of the tea restaurant on the second floor.

"Ling'er? What's wrong?"

Xu Yi's voice interrupted Bai Ling'er's thoughts.

"Brother Yi, let's go, I'm going back to my dorm first."

Xu Yi was taken aback. "Aren't we going back to the apartment first? It'll be more convenient to take a hot shower and change clothes there."

"No need, there are clean clothes to change into in the dormitory."

Bai Ling'er shook her head. "Besides, I have something urgent to tell Lin Xiao tonight."

She would never tell Xu Yi that what had just happened was related to her third brother.

After all, it wasn't easy for her to seduce her brother Yi.

Now we've finally fast-forwarded to the point where we meet the parents.

We absolutely cannot let Shirono, that conspicuous figure, scare people away at the crucial moment.

"Okay, I'll walk you to your dorm."

Seeing her insistence, Xu Yi didn't think much of it.

After all, it's easy to catch a cold if your clothes are wet, and the girls' dormitory at Jiangnan University is indeed closer.

On the way back to school, Bai Ling'er clung tightly to Xu Yi's arm, like a clingy accessory.

As they approached the girls' dormitory, Bai Ling'er suddenly stopped.

Her tone was hesitant as she asked, "Brother Yi, on Saturday... are you really going to take Ling'er home to meet your parents?"

Xu Yi's heart softened when he saw her unusually shy demeanor.

"Of course, I promise you. Don't worry, my parents are very easy to get along with."

"Will Uncle and Auntie like Ling'er?" Bai Ling'er asked nervously.

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Yes... but Ling'er, when you come to my house, please don't tell them your true identity yet."

"Why? Ling'er is the village's holy maiden. My mother and brothers all say I'm the most amazing girl in the world. Brother Yi, do you think Ling'er's identity is shameful?"

Bai Ling'er felt somewhat wronged.

"How could that be?"

Xu Yi, seeing that she had misunderstood, offered an explanation that was both amusing and exasperating.

"The main reason is that my parents are just ordinary workers, their thinking is rather old-fashioned, and they are also getting old."

"Think about it, if you directly told them that you could summon tens of thousands of insects with a wave of your hand, and that you also carried a highly venomous little green snake in your pocket, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to accept it right away."

After a pause, Xu Yi's tone softened: "So, we'll wait until our relationship is more stable before gradually getting closer to them. This trip back is mainly to introduce you to the place and let you meet them."

Bai Ling'er thought about it for a moment and realized it made sense, which made her a little happier.

"Alright, I'll listen to Brother Yi."

........

When Bai Ling'er returned to her dormitory, her face immediately fell as soon as she entered the room.

She took out her phone and dialed Bai Ye's number directly.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."

Undeterred, she called three more times, only to be hung up on each time. Eventually, even her WeChat messages were read but no reply was received.

Good heavens, not only does Bai Laosan dare to hang up the phone, he's even learned to ignore read messages!

"Shirano, you're really something."

Bai Ling'er sneered and gripped her phone tightly.

The next morning, on the tree-lined path next to the playground of Jiangda West Campus.

Bai Ye was leisurely scrolling through Douyin (TikTok) with an ice pop in his mouth when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Before he could even turn his head, a woman's voice boomed in his ear: "Third Brother, what kind of suggestive videos are you watching so early in the morning?"

"Eating popsicles so early in the morning, aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea?"

"puff!"

Shiro almost choked to death on the popsicle in her mouth.

He turned his head and saw Bai Ling'er standing with her arms crossed, staring at him expressionlessly.

"Little...little sister?" Bai Ye swallowed hard, his feet barely moving as he instinctively tried to slip away.

"If you move again, I'll tell Father that you've stolen and drunk the jar of thirty-year-old Daughter's Red wine he hid under the bed."

"You even told Mom that you ruined my second brother's blind date."

"Oh, and bro, you stole his pet to buy a King of Glory skin, you're already VIP 5 by now, right?"

Bai Ling'er's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, yet it precisely struck at Bai Ye's Achilles' heel.

Bai Ye froze on the spot, turned around, and revealed a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Look at what you're saying. We're all from the same village, we share the same blood. Why are you bringing up our shortcomings the moment we meet? Tell me, what do you want with Third Brother? I have no money, but you can take my life."

"Don't give me that nonsense."

Bai Ling'er took a step closer.

"Was that you at the tea restaurant yesterday? Why are you targeting Brother Yi?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye immediately spread his hands and began his Sichuan opera face-changing performance.

"What tea restaurant? Third Brother was playing King of Glory with his friends last night, losing all the way until he was completely exhausted. He didn't go to any tea restaurant at all. As for that Han Chinese kid of yours, why would I target him? Do you think I'm that petty?"

"Who are you."

Bai Ling'er pointed to her nose.

"Third brother, have you forgotten that this is my nose, not a nostril?"

"The aura of that cursed curse was practically overflowing from the tea restaurant. You dare say you didn't put it there?"

Seeing that he couldn't fool her, Shiroya decided to give up and go all out.

"So what if I was the one who released it? I was testing him for you! And what happened? That damn Gu must have expired; it reflected all the damage back onto you!"

That kid, on the other hand, hugged you like a coward, automatically enjoying the benefits. It's like an old sow wearing a bra, one set after another!

"I won't allow you to say that about Brother Yi!" A hint of stubbornness flashed in Bai Ling'er's eyes.

"Bai Ling'er, wake up!"

Bai Ye got a little anxious, stomped his foot, and revealed his trump card.

"Forget about it! I've got some inside information for you: Big Brother will be arriving in Jiangcheng tomorrow! You and that kid were never a good match!"

Upon hearing that her elder brother was coming, Bai Ling'er's previously aggressive demeanor instantly froze.

"Big brother? Arriving tomorrow?"

Bai Ye snorted coldly, looking at her with a hint of disappointment.

"If you ask me, the second brother shouldn't have bothered with this ridiculous university admission process for you at all! Who are you? You're the village's holy maiden! He's just an ordinary Han Chinese college student; you two are never meant to be together. The eldest brother came down the mountain this time to take you back. Do you think he'd let you run wild like the second brother and I have?"

"Because of this, I'll have to go to the ancestral hall and get ten lashes when I get back..."

P.S.: Big Brother is scheduled to make a dazzling appearance tomorrow.
