After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

"Junior, who is this beautiful girl?"

Good heavens, Ju Qing's proactive attack is not a good thing.

"This is the president of the Hanfu Club, and also me..."

"girlfriend."

Bai Yu was about to say something similar to what the club president had said when Murong Liyue interrupted her, saying something like this.

Good heavens, Bai Yu was completely dumbfounded. He really never expected Murong Liyue to say something like that, and so decisively, without even hesitating for a moment?

Upon hearing Murong Liyue's words, Ju Qing's smile froze, overwhelmed by the impact of those three words.

After all, Murong Liyue is a beauty who truly has the elegance, the figure, and the face. Although Ju Qing thinks he is also very pretty, his elegance is far inferior.

Moreover, Murong Liyue's direct statement that she is Bai Yu's girlfriend has made her quite embarrassed.

This was the first time she had ever met such a direct and decisive girl.

However, Bai Yu couldn't let such a misunderstanding arise. She had originally planned to keep Ju Qing as her meal ticket, but the plan had already fallen apart before it even started.

Who knew that Murong Liyue and Ju Qing would meet today?

Of course, the main reason is that he was present.

"President, don't talk nonsense, I..."

"Isn't that so?"

Bai Yu was about to say, "How could we possibly have that kind of relationship?", but Murong Liyue didn't give him a chance to explain and directly asked a question in return.

Murong Liyue spoke with a hint of displeasure, especially in that chilling gaze.

But if Bai Yu is afraid, then she will definitely be misunderstood every time she encounters this kind of thing in the future, and slowly she will be directly identified as having a misunderstanding with Murong Liyue.

Moreover, Ju Qing knows Si Yu. If he tells Si Yu what happened today, then he can just get a ticket and leave again to start over.

So even if Murong Liyue is angry, she still has to make things clear.

"President, please speak clearly. She's just a female friend. Please don't omit those two words; it's easy to be misunderstood."

Bai Yu's words were a euphemistic explanation.

However, Ju Qing wasn't stupid; she could tell that Murong Liyue didn't seem very satisfied with her relationship with Bai Yu.

Of course, Ju Qing didn't want to have any unnecessary relationship with Bai Yu, as that would be disadvantageous for her, because she didn't think she was a match for the icy beauty in front of her.

"Junior, you guys enjoy your meal. My friend and I are leaving now, bye-bye~"

With a wave of her hand and a smile, Ju Qing left with her three friends.

No sooner had she left than Bai Yu was questioned by Murong Liyue.

"She's a senior student?"

Hearing Murong Liyue's cool voice, Bai Yu nodded and replied seriously.

"It must be a senior student, who else could it be?"

"There could be many more."

Murong Liyue's words clearly made Bai Yu realize that this girl's temper was flaring up.

"She really is a senior, more real than a pearl."

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Murong Liyue's initially displeased mood improved considerably.

It was around this time that the barbecue I ordered was served by the owner.

"You two are here. Please enjoy your meal. If you're not satisfied, feel free to order more. Don't be shy."

Hearing the boss's words, Bai Yu thought to herself, "What's with the politeness? It's not like it's free."

But I only think these things to myself.

At that moment, Murong Liyue picked up a skewer of barbecue and took a small bite. Under the table, her small feet stretched out in front of Bai Yu's feet and gently stepped on his foot.

Although she didn't say anything, perhaps this was Murong Liyue's way of venting her dissatisfaction.

But thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite cute. Even if you're feeling down, you won't say it out loud; you'll just express it through a gesture.

But Bai Yu also realized that Murong Liyue's feelings for him had indeed reached a certain level, otherwise she wouldn't have directly said that she was his girlfriend when she met Ju Qing, right?

The danger was obvious anyway, and Bai Yu felt she needed to think of other ways to stop this abnormal emotion. Chapter 173: You say yours, I'll do mine.

Barbecue roadside stalls are truly the most authentic and delicious snacks.

This was indeed Murong Liyue's first time here, and the meal she was treated to was the cheapest she had ever been treated to in her life, but it made her exceptionally happy.

Compared to delicacies, perhaps eating at a roadside stall with Bai Yu has a more down-to-earth, human touch.

This wasn't the first time Murong Liyue had drunk beer, but this girl's alcohol tolerance was really low.

He was slightly tipsy after drinking just one bottle of beer.

However, this meal, which was paid for by Bai Yu, was really cheap. In fact, he ate the most, and the total price was 182.5 yuan.

After the banquet ended, it was time to turn around and go back, but Murong Liyue didn't seem to intend to go back so easily.

"Let's walk a little further, it's still early."

Upon hearing Murong Liyue's words, Bai Yu was only thinking about going back to the internet cafe to play games, since it was early and he could play for longer.

"It's getting late. I've treated everyone to a meal. It's time to go back and rest."

Looking up at Bai Yu, Murong Liyue blinked gently twice, reached out and took Bai Yu's hand, their fingers intertwined, her voice unusually soft.

"Who goes home so early after a date?"

"No, president, this is just a dinner invitation, not a date. The concepts are different."

Bai Yu thought that Murong Liyue might be drunk, and that calling an invitation a date was completely unrelated.

But this idea is completely wrong. Murong Liyue knew that she had a low alcohol tolerance, but she still ordered two bottles of beer, just to use the alcohol to say things that she would not dare to say so openly when she was sober.

"Bai Yu, I can give you so many things, so why are you still unwilling to give yourself to me? Do you hate me?"

As Murong Liyue said this, her eyes were full of doubt and confusion.

Bai Yu had no idea that Murong Liyue would suddenly say such a thing, and it took her a moment to react.

But at this moment, Bai Yu had no choice but to say something that would make Murong Liyue, and also make herself, admit it.

"It's not that I hate you, it's just that you treat me like a commodity. I've said it before, money can indeed buy a lot of things, but there are also things it can't buy. If you desperately want something, you have to give up a lot of what you already have. You're a rich girl, and I'm just an ordinary person, do you know that?"

Even though Bai Yu spoke, he didn't say it too bluntly, because he didn't want to be too realistic.

Once a person becomes too realistic, their life will be completely ruined, and they will no longer be able to look towards the distant sky or imagine a better future.

"Isn't liking something just wanting to possess it?"

As she said this, Murong Liyue tightened her grip on Bai Yu's hand, clearly aware of this as well.

"Yes, liking something does mean wanting to possess it, but that's about objects, the most superficial things. We're all too superficial. Once we get it, there will always be a day when we don't like it anymore, right?"

This is something Bai Yu really wanted to say, but she had never told anyone before.

But now that he's said it, unfortunately, the result is that Murong Liyue inexplicably smiles.

In her previous life, Bai Yu had seen Murong Liyue's smile. Perhaps Murong Liyue was more suited to a smiling face than aloof.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and although her smile was faint, it was so captivating that it could charm a hundred hearts.

“It’s a little different. One day you’ll understand that what I got wasn’t just you.”

Bai Yu was a little confused by what Murong Liyue meant by that sentence.

However, Bai Yu didn't ask even if he didn't understand, because he knew that most people wouldn't say such things with a smile, and it was obvious that Murong Liyue didn't care about anything he said.

Little did he know that Murong Liyue wanted more than just him; she wanted everything he had.

In short, after facing too much hypocrisy, what Murong Liyue wanted was not only Bai Yu, but also herself, whose eyes would light up when she looked at him.

However, Murong Liyue did not voice her desire to obtain everything about Bai Yu, because she believed that, as Bai Yu said, time would prove her heart.

It was only a matter of time before she got Bai Yu; no matter how long it took, Murong Liyue felt she would get the answer she longed for deep down.

Perhaps for Bai Yu, inviting Murong Liyue to dinner this time allowed her to express many of her innermost thoughts.

However, Murong Liyue found an even better way to get Bai Yu to agree to her request.

Two people with two different thoughts, yet they don't need to cross class boundaries to achieve their goals.

Perhaps Murong Liyue really had a low alcohol tolerance and was feeling dizzy and sleepy, because she didn't speak to Bai Yu on the way back to school.

But he hesitated to let go of Bai Yu's hand.

Bai Yu naturally wanted to shake off Murong Liyue's small hand that was holding hers. Even though the touch was smooth and delicate, it was too ambiguous.

Unfortunately, the more Bai Yu tried to shake off Murong Liyue, the tighter she held on, and there was nothing she could do.

As for Murong Liyue not speaking, then Bai Yu naturally won't speak either. Why bother finding a topic to talk about, right?

Only after Bai Yu escorted Murong Liyue back to the girls' dormitory did the girl voluntarily let go of Bai Yu's hand.

The next moment, Bai Yu, like a wild horse, turned and ran out of the school, not for anything else, but just to go online.

Standing at the entrance of the girls' dormitory, watching Bai Yu running on the campus road, she smiled and raised her hand to touch her chest.

Perhaps it's true that the harder something is to obtain, the more you want it. Murong Liyue felt that her desire for Bai Yu was now even stronger, to the point that she wanted to lock him up and be with him forever. She loved this indomitable boy too much.

The next morning—

Bai Yu, Li Cheng, and the other two spent the entire night playing games at the internet cafe. When they woke up early the next morning, the four of them were disheveled, unkempt, and looked incredibly sleazy.

"Ah~ let's go back quickly, I'm so sleepy, I'll probably sleep like a log again tonight."

Bai Yu yawned and said this.

But just as he reached the school gate, he was suddenly embraced from behind by a pair of warm little hands.

Although the person who hugged him didn't speak, Bai Yu could feel the pressure of the waves, and he knew from that feeling that it was Si Yu, the mature woman with long black hair.

Didn't this girl say she didn't have time lately and had to take some teacher's certificate exam? How come we ran into each other again?

"Bai Yu, have you missed your older sister?"
