Even the tycoons of wealthy families kneel down; the real heiress is the matriarch.

"Can we go in?" Bai Su turned to ask Fu Qiyu.

Fu Qiyu nodded.

"All the classified documents and equipment here have been moved away. There's nothing to keep secret anymore. Now this place is just a historical site and it's open to the public. You can go wherever you want."

Bai Su then pushed open the door and went inside.

The beds are still there, but the bedding and other items have been removed.

Bai Su walked skillfully to her bed, then squatted down and looked up.

Their dormitory had bunk beds with desks underneath. Looking up from below, you could still see some encouraging words she had written on them before.

The handwriting was no longer clear, and only one or two characters could be vaguely made out.

Bai Su's fingers traced the words, and she felt a deep longing for the past.

"Did you write secrets under the bed?"

Fu Qiyu leaned closer to take a look.

Bai Su just pulled herself back.

Their bodies suddenly came very close together.

Outside, the sky was filled with stars; inside, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and the only sound was each other's heartbeats.

"Timely"

"Um?"

"Happy birthday."

"Um……"

"Bai Su".

"?"

"Happy birthday."

Song Shiyi is her, and Bai Su is also her.

Both of them were the people he loved most deeply in his heart.

Bai Su smiled gently.

"Thank you."

Fu Qiyu suddenly reached out and hugged her.

Bai Su did not refuse and slowly reached out to hug Fu Qiyu back.

"Never say thank you to me again, because whatever I do for you, it's all done willingly."

Bai Su remained silent for a moment before stepping out of Fu Qiyu's embrace.

"Please promise me one thing, okay?"

"certainly."

"If... I mean if, if I encounter the situation from my past life again, you must not give up on yourself or even abandon your life like you did in your past life..."

It's not hard to see from what Fu Qiyu told her about his last moments that he actually had a chance to save himself.

But he chose to give up and follow her.

Fu Qiyu pursed his lips and did not answer her.

Bai Su frowned: "If I had to make only one wish, it would be for you to be safe. So... promise me, okay?"

Fu Qiyu clenched his fist and finally nodded.

"I promise you... but I also promise I'll never put you in danger again. But you also have to promise me that from now on, no matter what, you'll always put your safety first."

Bai Su's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

I promise you.

Fu Qiyu finally showed a slight smile.

He has a very handsome smile, and you can vaguely see a trace of his past life in it.

The two held hands, walked out of the dormitory, and headed towards the laboratory.

The laboratory was empty, except for many photos on the walls for visitors to see.

One of the photos also includes a picture of her and Fu Qiyu from their past lives.

"I wonder if this photo can be copied?" Bai Su asked.

"I'll ask around for you later."

"it is good."

At this point, a staff member came in and reminded them that it was time to close the door.

"It's fine if you stay a little longer, but it's too late and the desert is dangerous. I'm afraid you won't be able to get back in time."

"Thanks for the reminder, we'll be going now."

As Bai Su was speaking, she passed by a photograph and saw a woman in it.

Du Moli.

On a whim, she asked Fu Qiyu about Du Moli when she got back to the car.

"I heard she's doing very well now?"

"I don't know much about her situation, but her family's Du Group is indeed doing quite well right now."

"Do you know?"

"Um?"

She used to like you.

Fu Qiyu shrugged.

He really didn't know that.

He only had eyes for Bai Su; why would he pay attention to other women?

"Why bring this up all of a sudden?"

Bai Su shook her head: "I saw her picture, just saying, but... I have this feeling, this feeling that she..."

"What?"

"Never mind, it's nothing."

She originally wanted to say that she felt the Du Group couldn't have developed into what it is today, given Du Moli's abilities.

But she didn't want to speculate wildly about things without evidence.

Du Moli has no talent; she got into the research institute entirely through connections.

In those days, relationships were just as important as development.

Perhaps Du Moli's current success is due to the times.

Bai Su stopped talking, and Fu Qiyu didn't press the matter. He didn't care at all about people who had nothing to do with Bai Su.

After another hour's drive, the two arrived at the InterContinental Hotel.

"Goodnight, Shiyi." He said as he moved closer to Bai Su and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it quickly let go.

Bai Su blushed slightly, said goodnight, and hurriedly returned to her room.

The only person who could make her blush and her heart race was Chang Sheng.

The next day, the two strolled around the neighborhood and even rode camels.

After lunch, we headed straight back.

Bai Su had to go to school the next day, as did he.

By the time we got back to Zizhu Villa, it was already 8 p.m.

Bai Su sent Cheng Yizhou a message to confirm that he was next door, then knocked on the door and went in.

"Have you been studying hard while I was away these past two days?" she asked bluntly.

Cheng Yizhou proudly placed a notebook in front of her and gestured with his chin for her to open it.

Bai Su opened it and found it was full of notes.

"I've finished reading all the books you asked me to read in the last two days. I've mostly digested them."

Bai Su was very satisfied.

A smart and hardworking student, there's no reason not to be satisfied with him.

"The math Olympiad is tomorrow, are you nervous?"

"To be honest... a little. But I'm not as insecure as before. I think I should have no problem getting into the top 50."

"I'm waiting for your good news."

"Just wait! I'll give you half of my bonus... no, I'll give you all of it."

"Don't regret it later, the prize money for this competition is quite high."

"I'm not that petty."

Bai Su smiled.

"In that case, I'll try my best to make one last contribution."

"Will you give me tutoring?"

Bai Su shook her finger: "I'll help you predict the exam questions."

On her way back, she looked at the math Olympiad questions from the past three years and found that many of the questions were just variations on the same theme.

"Wouldn't this be considered cheating?"

"Of course not, many people will ask someone to predict the exam questions."

After all, being in the top 50 means you can directly enter Imperial University, and that's no joke.

For many, this competition is a second chance to change their lives, even after the college entrance examination.

Bai Su gave Cheng Yizhou ten questions in a row.

Cheng Yizhou answered six out of ten questions correctly.

Bai Su then explained to him the four questions he had answered incorrectly.

Time flew by and it was already 10 p.m.

"Alright, it's getting late. We have a competition tomorrow, so get some rest today and don't study too late."

"I know, I was planning to go to bed early too."

"Then I'll go back."

Bai Su turned back to her side and saw the message Fu Qiyu had sent at 8:30.

"I'm home now."

She quickly replied, "I was tutoring Yizhou just now, so I didn't see it. I'm going to sleep now."

Less than three seconds after the message was sent, Fu Qiyu replied: "Good night, get some rest."

He had been waiting for her.

"Good night."

……

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

School proceeded as usual in the morning. At lunchtime, the school organized a vehicle to take several students to the examination venue.

The math Olympiad exam is at 2 PM, with three hours allotted for answering questions.

Because she was worried about Cheng Yizhou's situation, Bai Su often spaced out during afternoon class.

During the second period, she simply asked for leave and went to the Cheng family's house.

After the exam, they will let the students go home directly.

Cheng Wuyan wasn't home, so when Bai Su came over, Cheng Sihai was very happy. He busied himself with various tasks, instructing the servants to wash fruit for her and then finding some strange and unusual things to give to Bai Su.

With Cheng Sihai interrupting, Bai Su was less worried about Cheng Yizhou, as her attention was completely diverted.

However, at four o'clock, Bai Su received a call from Pei Wenyan.

Upon learning that it was Pei Wenyan who had called, Cheng Sihai immediately made an excuse to leave.

Bai Su was quite helpless.

They avoid even answering a phone call like the plague, it's really...

never mind!

She got up and went to the window to answer the phone.

"What's wrong, Ayan?"

"Grandfather, the Ye family couple came to cause trouble just now."

Bai Su's brows immediately furrowed.

"Did they go to their home or their office?"

"company……"

Pei Wenyan explained the cause and effect.

It turned out that after the Ye couple signed the agreement to sever ties with Bai Su, Dong Suying became increasingly angry.

She felt that Bai Su was her child, and that Bai Su was like an object that belonged only to her.

She was the one who abandoned Bai Su; Bai Su had no right to sever ties with them.

So she decided to ruin Bai Su and went to the hospital to tell Pei Yuanshan about Bai Su's faults, only to find out that Pei Yuanshan had already been discharged...

Then he went directly to the Pei Group and loudly listed Bai Su's "crimes" in the lobby, frantically smearing her.

The purpose was to make the Pei family despise Bai Su and to make Bai Su completely homeless.

"Has it had any impact on the company?" Bai Su asked.

"No, after I learned about the situation, I immediately called the police and had them take the person away."

He paused, afraid that Bai Su would misunderstand, and said, "Grandpa, I didn't complain to you because I felt they were disrupting the company's order. I was worried that if she failed to smear the company, she would retaliate afterward."

Bai Su remained silent for a while before speaking, "Do you know you weren't trying to help me get revenge on the Ye family?"

"Yes... but you stopped me."

"I did that out of respect for the real Bai Su, to give them some face. But since they're so eager to ruin me, then there's no need to give them any face. Do what you need to do."

"Yes!" Pei Wenyan cheered. "You've finally come to your senses. Such villains deserve to be severely punished. However, you must be careful during this time. If you agree, I'd like to send two bodyguards with you..."

"No need, I'm rarely alone these days."

Fu Qiyu would come to find her almost as soon as school was over.

"Okay, I understand."

After the call ended, Bai Su put away her phone.

Seeing Bai Su finish her phone call, Cheng Sihai, who was some distance away, immediately came over: "Master, shall we play chess? I can't beat you at a normal game, so let's play Gomoku!"

"..." Bai Su said helplessly, "Stop playing chess for now, do me a favor."
