Douluo: The Son of Martial Soul, Deceiving All the Women

Chapter 147 Good, good, good, let's see if we can have a few more.
After hearing Bai Yu's first words, Ning Rongrong's expression had already softened considerably.

But the next sentence made her furrow her brows, break free from Bai Yu's hands, and pinch his face again.

While pinching, I shouted in my mind:

"You bastard, am I the one who's going to argue? It's clearly you who keeps staring at Zhu Qing! She's so cute even though she's small, why don't you look at me instead!"

Baiyu turned and rolled around, dodging Ning Rongrong's small hand. Although the pinch didn't hurt, being shaken back and forth was still very uncomfortable.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Go back to sleep. What time is it? It'll be dawn soon if you wait any longer!"

Ning Rongrong jumped directly onto the white fish bed, lunged forward, and said resolutely:
"No, today it's either you take me down, or I take you down. You want me to leave? I'm telling you, that's impossible!"

Just as Baiyu was about to speak up to persuade her, she heard another noise outside the door. Her lips twitched slightly, and she looked somewhat speechless.

"Ha, did you guys plan this out? Why is there another one here?"

Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask Bai Yu what he meant by "another one".
But before she could say anything, she saw Baiyu staring at the door. She turned her head and saw that the doorknob was turning downwards.

Ning Rongrong froze instantly, realizing she was doomed and had been caught cheating!

Without thinking, her body instinctively told her that she should hide immediately!
Ning Rongrong jumped off the bed like a cat with its fur standing on end, glanced around, spotted the wardrobe, and immediately opened the door and slipped inside.

Seeing this scene, Baiyu's mouth gaped slightly as he thought to himself, "Human instincts truly know no boundaries!"
Just as Ning Rongrong hid, the door to the room opened, and Dugu Yan peeked in furtively.

"What are you doing, like you're doing something thief? Tell me, what's the idea behind all this?"

Startled by Bai Yu's sudden voice, Dugu Yan realized that Bai Yu wasn't asleep at all and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Hey, Baiyu, you're not asleep either? I couldn't sleep either, so I thought I'd come and check on you."

Bai Yu raised his hand to cover half of his face and sighed. He didn't believe a word of Dugu Yan's nonsense.

Why couldn't she sleep and just wanted to come and see? Isn't she just trying to fool him, thinking he's from an island nation?!
I suspect that Dugu Yan's idea is the same as Ning Rongrong's: she wants to send herself away and be given away for free!
Unlike Ning Rongrong, Bai Yu doesn't object to Dugu Yan coming to give away her things for free, but now is not the right time.

Ning Rongrong is still hiding in the closet. We can't exactly broadcast it live to her, that would be too much of a blow to her!
Then Baiyu smacked his lips and said dejectedly:

"Now that you've seen it, go back and get some rest. Didn't you tell your teammates you were going to training this morning?"

"If you don't rest now, you'll have to stand them up. As the team leader, it's not good to go back on your word."

Hearing Bai Yu tell her to leave, Dugu Yan immediately became unhappy and gritted her teeth, saying:
"Baiyu, tell me the truth, do you not like me at all? Did you only ask me to be your girlfriend to appease my grandfather?"

“If you say yes, I’ll turn around and leave immediately. I’ll talk to my grandfather.”

"Let me tell you, although I fell in love with you the moment I saw you, I, Dugu Yan, am not so lowly as to pester you!"

"I don't want you to be with me just because of my grandfather. To you, I'm just something dispensable!"

Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, Bai Yu's eyes widened, his eyelids twitching violently. He hadn't expected such a strong reaction from her, simply for asking her to go back first. There was a hint of pessimism in her expression; judging from her bouncy, skipping manner, she didn't seem like such a negative person.
But now is not the time to think about these things. Seeing that Dugu Yan was about to cry, Bai Yu quickly got up, went over, and hugged her.

"Where did you get this idea? My decision to make you my girlfriend has nothing to do with your grandfather. If you really want to talk about it, you can think of it as a predestined relationship from a past life."

"So stop thinking like that, as if I'm some kind of scumbag. But seriously, why did you suddenly have this idea?"

According to Bai Yu, Dugu Yan was a very confident person and shouldn't be thinking about such things, so his first thought was that someone had said something to him.

But that shouldn't be the case. Given Zhu Zhuqing's personality, she wouldn't say such nonsense. Ning Rongrong wouldn't either; she wouldn't be that brainless.

Ye Lingling betrayed her best friend? That's even more unacceptable.

By ruining Dugu Yan's relationship with him, Ye Lingling instantly gained the dislike of both of them. Isn't that just plain stupid?

Thinking of this, Bai Yu's lips twitched slightly, and he wondered if it was that idiot Xiao Wu.

He wanted to help Dugu Yan's two best friends in front of her, but he didn't handle it well and ended up hurting Dugu Yan's feelings.
Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed slightly. Bai Yu's comfort and intimate gesture made her feel relieved.

Then, biting her lip, she said shyly:
“I hadn’t thought about these things before, but today in the Great Battle Arena, I told my teammates that you are my boyfriend, but they didn’t believe me at all.”

"Although they congratulated me a few times, they were extremely perfunctory and didn't take it seriously at all. They just think I'm not good enough for you."

"That's why I was scared and felt anxious, which is why I came to see you tonight."

"But if you like me, why... why do you want to drive me away? I don't believe you don't understand why I'm here!"

Upon hearing what Dugu Yan said, Bai Yu suddenly realized why her teammates had been acting so strangely before; it turned out that this was what had happened.

But when faced with Dugu Yan's final question, Bai Yu gave a bitter smile. Just as he was about to call Ning Rongrong out, his lips suddenly twitched.

"Alright, alright, this isn't even over yet, and another one has appeared. Fine, I'm going to take you guys on today and see how many more come along!"

Huh? Dugu Yan's expression suddenly froze, her face full of confusion. What was Bai Yu talking about?

Just as she was about to ask a question, she heard the sound of the door opening. Dugu Yan's eyes widened immediately, and she began to repeat Ning Rongrong's actions.

Then she broke free from Baiyu's embrace, opened the cabinet door, and rushed inside.

Bai Yu raised his hand as he watched Dugu Yan's retreating figure, but before he could speak, two low gasps came from inside the wardrobe.

Bai Yu then turned around and sat on the bed with a calm expression. He didn't care anymore. Let it be. As long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was others who would be embarrassed!
As soon as Zhu Zhuqing entered the room, she saw Bai Yu sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes vacant, looking as if she had lost her mind.

"Um, Baiyu, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you asleep yet? Is it because the injury you suffered in the Great Soul Arena hasn't healed yet?"
