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

She reached out and pulled Bai Yu's collar, slowly bringing her face closer. Her cherry-like lips parted slightly as she breathed warm air into Bai Yu's ear and whispered something.

"Once you've tasted the sweetness of my candy, you'll want more sooner or later."

Murong Liyue wasn't the kind of woman who could make you feel all tingly when she spoke, but her queen-like, condescending attitude when she spoke to you was truly unique.

Bai Yu was speechless when she heard this.

What does it mean to have tasted the sweetness? It's just a piece of candy, if it's not sweet, can it be bitter?

"No, no, no, I don't want your candy anymore. I have diabetes and can't eat sugar. Don't do anything reckless!"

Bai Yu is really willing to smear herself to prevent this situation from happening again.

This raises the question: Isn't Bai Yu angry?

It's impossible for Bai Yu not to be angry, but no matter how angry she is, she just can't be tough in front of Murong Liyue; she simply can't outdo her in assertiveness.

I want to curse, but I don't know how to do it. I want to hit him, but that's not a man's idea.

Moreover, that piece of candy was indeed quite sweet, moist and warm, and upon reflection, Bai Yu actually felt a unique range of emotions.

He couldn't explain the feeling, but it was this emotion that made most of his anger towards Murong Liyue disappear.

However, for Murong Liyue, who was rejected by Bai Yu once again, this did not feel strange at all.

Murong Liyue really liked this boy who was unwilling to give in or even take the initiative, and her feelings for him grew stronger every day.

Seeing Bai Yu turn her head away, not wanting to look at her profile, Murong Liyue asked a very girlish question.

"Bai Yu, do I look beautiful today?"

Girls generally won't ask this question on their own initiative. Even if they want to be praised, they will only do things to induce the guy to bring it up.

But Bai Yu was the first to encounter someone like Murong Liyue who asked so directly.

If you were to ask Bai Yu how to answer, her first reaction would definitely not be to praise her. If she did praise him, things would get out of hand.

This time, however, he was smarter. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that if he didn't praise her, Murong Liyue would definitely find a way to make him tell the truth honestly. Rather than that, he might as well be more direct to avoid causing more trouble and making the ambiguity even stronger.

After all, the last time Murong Liyue wanted to be praised, Bai Yu had already experienced what it meant to submit under coercion and enticement.

"beautiful."

It was a single word, the first time Bai Yu had ever uttered the word "beauty" in front of a girl since his rebirth.

Do you like it?

Murong Liyue didn't smile; she remained as aloof as ever. But what she said made Bai Yu realize something was wrong.

If you praise someone with just one word, "beautiful," then there's another problem. If you don't praise them, then you must be being coerced into praising them.

In conclusion, Bai Yu is destined to give the correct answer no matter what. Goodness, she really loses all control of herself when she's with Murong Liyue!

"Please ask another question."

Bai Yu felt she had to take the initiative to get Murong Liyue to change the subject, lest this flirting with her go further and further down the path and eventually get completely out of control.

Unfortunately, Murong Liyue had no intention of changing the subject. She opened her mouth slightly and asked again.

"dislike?"

"It's not true that I don't like her. No normal man dislikes beautiful women. It's a physiological reaction, and everyone is the same. So there's no such thing as disliking her. On the surface, it seems like I do like her."

Bai Yu knew he couldn't avoid this question, so he went straight for a physiological analysis. Unfortunately, his supposedly clever analysis was completely useless.

"So, do you like it?"

In a single sentence, Murong Liyue completely exposed Bai Yu's true colors.

After many twists and turns, Bai Yu stopped wasting words. Since she was being asked, she would just answer honestly. It wouldn't hurt her anyway. She would just refuse to answer Murong Liyue's strange questions no matter what.

With this thought in mind, Bai Yu felt much more relaxed and calmly replied.

"Upon analysis, it's a perfectly normal liking."

Bai Yu's answer was quite cautious, but Murong Liyue's next sentence made Bai Yu experience once again what it means to have a different way of thinking.

"I agree to date."

"Damn it, I disagree."

This is a complete trap. Anyone who follows Murong Liyue is bound to fall into it.

Bai Yu genuinely hadn't expected her to have such a skillful flirtation. As expected of Miss Murong, she was too good at it. If she hadn't been reborn, she would have been completely charmed to death.

Murong Liyue was already used to being rejected so blatantly by Bai Yu once again.

Rather than being rejected, it's more accurate to say that Murong Liyue was deliberately flirting with Bai Yu, which she found amusing and enjoyed seeing Bai Yu's arrogant behavior.

Not being frank and straightforward has become a true reflection of how Murong Liyue feels about Bai Yu.

It's a long story, but actually it's only been about ten minutes since Bai Yu and Murong Liyue got into the car.

The Academy of Fine Arts is not far from Beicheng University; it's nearby, and it only takes about twenty minutes to drive there.

This wasn't Bai Yu's first time visiting the Academy of Fine Arts. In her previous life, she had the privilege of visiting several times, though her motives were certainly not entirely pure.

After all, everyone knows that art and sports students are all gathered in these kinds of colleges, so there are bound to be a lot of beautiful girls. Of course, with more beautiful girls, there are also more wolves eyeing them. What's more, most of the beautiful girls are quite outgoing, so aren't the wolves even happier? Right?

Chapter 182 Beicheng Academy of Fine Arts (Monthly Ticket Bonus 9)

Sitting in the car, looking at the four large characters of Beicheng Academy of Fine Arts on the square not far away, Bai Yu felt that this place had been a long time coming.

Why say it's been a long time? Because in her previous life, Bai Yu and Li Cheng came to this place and went drinking, dancing, and even playing some adult games with several young ladies.

There's no need to go into details about this; basically, it gave Bai Yu the feeling that a hero had returned, but everything had changed.

This feeling is similar to when you go back to visit your elementary, middle, and high school schools after you've been in college, but there are some subtle differences.

Bai Yu decided not to be a scumbag anymore after her rebirth, mainly because this thing was not only dangerous, but could also cost her her life at any time.

So even if you want to be one, you have to ask yourself if you're even alive to do it.

Upon arriving at their destination, Bai Yu opened the car door and got out. Looking at the huge parking lot outside the Academy of Fine Arts, she noticed that it was often filled with cars, including some luxury vehicles.

There are all sorts of stories, from older men letting water out of their cars to impromptu dates.

The art academy is a deep and complex place; even among the teachers there, many are teachers by day and fathers by night.

Murong Liyue watched Bai Yu staring blankly at the sign of Beicheng Academy of Fine Arts with his hands on his hips, as if this wasn't his first time here.

"Have you been here before?"

Upon hearing Murong Liyue's words, Bai Yu immediately snapped out of her vivid memories of her previous life, nodded, and calmly replied.

“I’ve been here once before, and I feel that the external parking lot of the Academy of Fine Arts is really big; you can see all kinds of cars.”

Murong Liyue naturally didn't understand the meaning behind Bai Yu's words, nor would she consider those aspects that she didn't understand.

"Let's go, Lu Huaiyu and Zhong Fu are already waiting for us at the school gate, don't keep them waiting too long."

As she said this, Murong Liyue took the lead and walked in front of Bai Yu.

Looking at the graceful Murong Liyue walking ahead of him, Bai Yu thought that if this beautiful woman, Murong Liyue, came to the art academy, she would definitely be pursued by all the handsome guys there.

At Beicheng University, most students prioritize their studies, and when it comes to dating, they generally let things happen naturally.

But art academies are different; academics are secondary, and finding a partner is the top priority.

Moreover, with Murong Liyue's looks, wouldn't she be a school beauty right away?

Although Bai Yu wasn't entirely clear on how the "campus belle" title was actually selected, the key point was that if you wanted to know about a university's campus belle, you could find the answer on the campus forum.

Moreover, the reason why male and female students in art academies tend to look handsome and beautiful is because it is an art academy.

Whether it's fashion or makeup, most people are experts.

That's why many people think that the boys and girls in art academies are all very good-looking. This is one of the main reasons, and another is that there are indeed many good-looking students.

As they arrived at the entrance of the Academy of Fine Arts with Murong Liyue, they could see Lu Huaiyu, Yu Hanri, and Zhong Fu, who had arrived earlier, waving to them from afar.

However, the short distance of just a few dozen meters before they were about to meet was very annoying for Murong Liyue.

Her beauty and temperament, like a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, attracted many male students outside the art academy to stop and stare, and some of the bolder ones even came up to chat her up.

Despite Bai Yu's attempt to strike up a conversation, Murong Liyue's response was not as Bai Yu expected—she simply pretended not to see her and walked away. Instead, she waved her hand dismissively with a frosty expression.

Bai Yu is naturally not bad-looking either; at least, according to his mother, he's presentable.

Even if many girls don't like him, there are still one or two girls who will approach him to chat.

Faced with this situation, Bai Yu naturally had to refuse, but she needed to be polite.

Murong Liyue reacted much faster than Bai Yu. When a girl took the initiative to approach her, she would say something in a cool and aloof tone.

"He has a girlfriend."

Bai Yu was at her wit's end with Murong Liyue, who routinely made others misunderstand their relationship.

Moreover, Bai Yu figured that since this was the Academy of Fine Arts' territory, not Beicheng University, misunderstandings didn't matter, and explaining to everyone would be too troublesome, so she didn't bother to say anything.

Although Murong Liyue didn't show any signs of annoyance over the distance of several dozen meters, her gradually quickening pace indicated that she didn't like being approached by boys.

Of course, Bai Yu's thinking was too superficial and naive. Murong Liyue did not like being approached by others, but she disliked Bai Yu being approached by girls even more, as it would make her even more unhappy.

"Bai Yu, President, we've been waiting for you for over ten minutes. Why is your private car taking so long to arrive?"

Yu Hanri, the only male member of the club besides Bai Yu, patted Bai Yu on the shoulder and asked Murong Liyue with a smile.

However, Bai Yu knew that Yu Hanri, who only liked the same sex and not the opposite sex, was definitely of good character; in fact, he could be considered a good person.

But the problem is that the act of patting him on the shoulder still made him feel uncomfortable. It was the discomfort of having a different sexual orientation and wanting to be the same as someone of the opposite sex, not discrimination.

"The car came from a relatively far place to pick us up, so it took a little longer to arrive."

Bai Yu replied to Yu Hanri with a sentence, and unconsciously leaned to the side.

"Bai Yu, there are lots of beautiful girls in the art academy. Don't get bewitched by one of them later, you know? You're the male role model of our Hanfu club, betraying the club president is a real disgrace~"

It's unclear whether Lu Huaiyu meant something by saying this... or was simply joking.

Bai Yu simply laughed it off, but Murong Liyue replied with three words very seriously.

"He won't."
