She grumbled and cursed, but the more she cursed, the more aggrieved she felt.

My phone battery was down to only 5% and was about to shut down automatically.

After much hesitation, Baima finally opened Ding Heng's chat window.

Forget it, I'll just have to swallow my pride and eat first.

She pressed the voice call button.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Ding Heng did not answer. Just as Bai Ma was about to dial again, the phone screen suddenly went black, and Bai Ma's blank face was reflected on the screen.

The power is out!

Bai Ma's nose tingled, her eyes began to redden, and she felt extremely wronged.

Suddenly, a tall figure blocked the light in front of her.

Pema sniffed and prepared to get up.

"Excuse me, I'll be leaving right away."

She instinctively thought it was a security guard, since they had come to chase her away seven or eight times before.

The next second, a familiar voice came from above, its tone teasing.

"Yo!"

Baima suddenly raised her head.

"Isn't this my dear sister? What's she doing begging in the capital?"

Ding Heng stood with his hands in his pockets, looking down at the viewer.

That expression is so smug!

Chapter 246: A conflicted man and a charming vixen.

When Ding Heng led Baima into the barbecue restaurant, the other girls had already started eating.

Zhao Yanxi hadn't even swallowed the lamb skewers in her mouth when she vaguely gestured for them to sit down.

Bai Ma sat down in the corner with her head down, took the chopsticks Wen Jing handed her, and began to eat and drink heartily.

The meat skewers on the plate disappeared one by one, as if Baima was trying to swallow all the grievances she had suffered that day.

Zhao Yanxi put down the bamboo skewer in her hand and asked jokingly, "Bai Ma, what's wrong?"

Baima didn't respond and continued stuffing meat into her mouth.

Wenjing thoughtfully poured her a glass of warm water and patted her back: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Baima took the water glass, took a big gulp, burped, and continued to pick at the roasted eggplant on the plate.

Wenjing asked softly, "Why didn't you tell us you were coming? You could have sent a message so we could have picked you up."

Baima replied in a muffled voice, "My phone is dead."

The girls exchanged glances, knowingly refraining from exposing the truth.

Lin Man naturally changed the subject: "What are the plans for tomorrow?"

Zhao Yanxi suggested, "How about we go to the Summer Palace? The scenery there should be quite nice in autumn."

Lin Man nodded: "Okay, since Baima is here, let's go out for a stroll as usual."

Baima looked up at Lin Man, then at Zhao Yanxi.

What do you mean?

Just going out for a stroll?

If I don't come, are you planning to stay at home and do something abnormal?

"belch……!"

Finally, Baima put down her chopsticks and let out a satisfied burp: "I'm full!"

Zhao Yanxi stood up and said, "I'll pay the bill."

Ding Heng didn't move, but turned to Hua Qing: "Senior, give me the car keys, I'll take Bai Ma back to her place."

Hua Qing took out the keys from her bag and handed them over, her tone concerned: "Aren't you going to let Baima stay at the hotel with us?"

"Need not."

Ding Heng took the keys and stood up: "Hei Dou still needs someone to feed her, so let her go back and keep the cat company."

Bai Ma followed Ding Heng with her head down and listlessly got into the passenger seat.

Speechless all the way.

As soon as he went upstairs and opened the door, Black Bean was already waiting in the entryway. It raised its head and meowed, its round eyes fixed on Ding Heng as if asking a question.

Why are you only getting back now?

Then it turned to Baima and meowed again, as if asking another question.

"How could you bring another woman back behind my master's back?"

Baima bent down to touch it, but Heidou turned away and strolled off like a cat.

Ding Heng sat down on the sofa and patted the seat next to him.

Baima walked over and sat down with her two short legs together.

Ding Heng asked in a calm and unhurried tone, "Tell me, why did you come all this way?"

Baima turned her face away: "Who told you to abandon me?"

Ding Heng smiled wryly: "We're not staying in the capital for long this time. We have to go back tomorrow or the day after. What are you doing here?"

"I get bored being alone in Changsha."

"Isn't Wen Shu with you?"

"Wen Shu is always engrossed in her studies and completely ignores me."

Where is your roommate?

Ding Heng asked again, "They ignore you too?"

Bai Ma pouted: "We don't get along. They've probably just come out of the Jiefang West Bar... You wouldn't want your good sister to go to a place like that, would you?"

Ding Heng's expression was serious: "Of course not."

Perhaps sensing the seriousness and concern in Ding Heng's tone, Bai Ma's attitude softened slightly, and she wanted to laugh but held it back.

"That's it."

"Alright, go take a shower first, and go to bed early."

Ding Heng stood up and patted her head: "I'll come pick you up again tomorrow."

Baima responded and stood up to walk towards the bathroom.

He took two steps, then stopped.

"Brother."

"Ok?"

"Could you... perhaps stay a little later?"

How late?

"At least……"

Baima lowered her head: "Wait until I fall asleep."

After a few seconds of silence, Ding Heng nodded in agreement.

"Row!"

"..."

After receiving the promise, Baima quickly went into the bathroom and closed the door.

The sound of rushing water filled the air.

After taking a shower, Baima changed into Huaqing's cotton pajamas, went into the bedroom, and snuggled into the quilt, only revealing her delicate face.

Ding Heng sat down by the bed, picked up the remote control from the bedside table, and turned up the air conditioner temperature by two degrees.

Bai Ma turned over to face Ding Heng, pulling the blanket up to cover half of her face.

"Brother."

"Ah."

"Next time you go out... could you take me with you?"

"There's no need to follow along every time."

"I really don't want to be alone..."

Baima was well aware that she was being completely unreasonable this time.

Ding Heng came to the capital mainly to accompany Hua Qing; the others were just there for the fun of it, and there probably won't be a next time.

But this inexplicably made Baima feel abandoned...

Ding Heng remained silent.

Bai Ma's fingers peeked out from under the covers and gently tugged at Ding Heng's clothes.

Ding Heng sighed and reached out to pinch her cheek: "You..."

Baima mumbled something indistinctly, "What?", but did not move away.

“Bai Ma, you are ultimately different from them.”

"What's different?"

Baima blinked and softened her voice.
