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

Turning around, I walked towards the guest room. There was no one in the room, and the bed was made clean and tidy.

As Bai Yu walked further into the living room, she finally saw Si Yu in the kitchen.

At this moment, Si Yu had her beautiful hair down and was lighting a fire as if she were making breakfast.

However, the way she kept covering her mouth with her hand and yawning made it seem like she hadn't slept well last night.

Of course, this girl somehow ended up in my bed in the middle of the night, so it would be a miracle if I slept well.

However, Bai Yu didn't feel sorry for her at all. After all, this girl brought it on herself. She had to go back home after breakfast. If her parents came back, she couldn't even imagine what would happen.

"Senior Siyu, are you able to go back after breakfast?"

Bai Yu stood at the kitchen door and asked in a truly wise manner, without any worries whatsoever.

Si Yu, clearly unwilling to leave after hearing Bai Yu's words, pouted and replied.

"Huh? Can't you play a little longer, sister?"

"No, my parents will be back soon if I play any longer. It wouldn't be good if they saw us."

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Si Yu didn't think much of it.

"My parents aren't outsiders, what's wrong with that?"

Holy crap, Bai Yu wasn't exactly clear-headed, she almost didn't realize that Si Yu's parents weren't outsiders.

At first glance, it does sound reasonable; Mom and Dad are indeed not outsiders. But the problem is, Si Yu is an outsider. Does this girl really not exclude herself?

"Your parents aren't outsiders, but you... well, anyway, you should go back first."

Bai Yu originally wanted to say that Si Yu was an outsider, but when she saw Si Yu's expectant eyes, she immediately changed her mind.

It wasn't that Bai Yu softened when she saw Si Yu's expectant eyes, but rather that she considered the potential negative consequences of her words and decided to change her tune to be on the safe side.

"But... my sister also wants to see Mom and Dad, is that not allowed?"

She started acting cute and coquettish, a tactic Si Yu often used in front of Bai Yu.

However, the fact that this method can be used means that this girl is currently in a normal state.

If we separate the yandere and normal states, it's like a person having two personalities; Si Yu is currently in the normal state.

“Those are my parents, not yours. Please don’t follow my example. Recognizing a thief as your father… oh no, I mean recognizing someone else’s father as your father is a very bad thing, understand?”

Bai Yu felt that Si Yu had gotten addicted to calling her "Mom and Dad" all the time. How come she kept calling her "Mom and Dad" as if she were Si Yu's "Mom and Dad"?

However, Si Yu did this on purpose; one could say she simply liked calling Bai Yu's parents that way.

"Aren't the younger brother's parents the same as the older sister's parents?"

Rolling her eyes, Bai Yu didn't want to linger on this topic any longer. She decided to stop talking about it and just make sure Si Yu went back later.

Breakfast is simple: take two eggs out of the refrigerator, fry two sunny-side-up eggs, have a cup of hot milk and two slices of bread.

But as soon as Bai Yu finished eating in the morning, he would tell Si Yu to get out of the house.

Of course, one cannot be so impolite in tone, as that could easily cause Si Yu to turn evil.

"Senior Siyu, I'll take care of the rest. You should go back home. It's time to go home and spend time with your family during the New Year holiday, isn't it?"

Bai Yu's words clearly indicated that she was unaware of Si Yu's situation, but Si Yu naturally knew that Bai Yu was completely unaware of this.

Although a hint of sadness flashed in her beautiful eyes for a fleeting moment, the smile on her face never faded.

She could give Bai Yu her most beautiful smile, but she couldn't bring Bai Yu her pain.

If it weren't for her turning to the dark side, Si Yu would truly be a very gentle and kind girl.

But once they turn evil, it's a completely different story.

Just like Su Rongxue, of course, now it seems that Su Rongxue is the most normal and reliable among the four girlfriends, an angel among the abnormal.

"Okay, sister, go home and stay with Mom and Dad. Remember to say hello to Uncle and Auntie when they come back!"

Bai Yu listened to Si Yu's lighthearted tone and didn't notice anything amiss. He even genuinely thought that Si Yu was as happy as she appeared.

Seeing Si Yu standing at the door, having put on his shoes and reluctant to close it and leave, Bai Yu waved her hand and urged him on.

"Go ahead and say hello to your uncle and aunt for me too."

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Si Yu forced a smile, hummed in agreement, and reluctantly closed the door. Chapter 196: This is Reality, But It Hurts (Month 15)

After cleaning up the dishes, Bai Yu had nothing to do, so she could only stay at home playing games while waiting for her parents to come back so they could go back to their hometown for the Chinese New Year.

Although Bai Yu's hometown isn't very far from the city, it's still a two- or three-hour drive away.

Bai Yu's parents did not return that day, but returned at three o'clock the next afternoon.

The two of them returned looking beaming with joy, clearly having had a wonderful time.

It's a pity that Bai Yu, their son, seems to have become a burden to the couple. If he weren't at home, they would probably have stayed out for a few more days.

"Bai Yu, I bought you two outfits, come out and try them on!"

Bai Yu, who was playing games in her room, heard someone open the door and then heard her mother's voice. She then took off her headphones and went outside.

After all, Mom and Dad are back. It's been a while since we've seen each other, so we have to miss them, catch up, and have a chat.

"Mom, why did it take you so long to get back?"

Bai Yu's tone clearly carried a hint of dissatisfaction when she said this, after all, it was really not fair for the two of them to leave their son at home and go on their honeymoon.

"I told your mom I would come back yesterday, but your dad insisted on visiting the last attraction, so he only flew back this morning."

As she said this, Bai Ma took out a set of brightly colored clothes from one of the bags.

"Come on, try this on. Your mom thought this outfit would suit you, so she bought it for you. Try it on and see."

Bai Yu was initially happy about the new clothes her mother bought her, but she immediately lost interest after seeing the style.

It's not that the clothes are ugly, it's just that they don't quite suit my style.

Rather than saying this clothing is for men, it's more accurate to say it's unisex and can be worn by both men and women. My mom often buys me unisex clothes and pants, which are indeed nice, but they don't suit my masculinity at all.

Bai Yu is not the kind of weak and delicate boy; rather, he is a very masculine type, and he would never wear anything that doesn't embody masculinity.

Bai Yu waved her hand and declined with a smile.

"Wait a bit before putting it on, Mom. What are we having for dinner tonight?"

More than getting dressed, Bai Yu was now curious about what delicious food her mother would prepare for her that evening.

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Bai's mother rolled her eyes at her and scolded her irritably.

"Eat, eat, eat. I'll stew some meat for you tonight. Take your clothes and put them away; you'll need them for the New Year. We have to go back to our hometown tomorrow, so remember to pack your things in advance, okay?"

"Row."

With the clothes in hand, Bai Yu returned to her room and put them in the closet. As for wearing them for the New Year, she decided against it.

Just as Bai Yu finished putting away his clothes and came out, his father suddenly asked him about dating.

"Bai Yu, it's almost Chinese New Year, aren't you bringing your girlfriend home? Your grandparents have already prepared red envelopes for you, aren't you going to give them to them?"

Hearing his father's words, although he didn't say who this little girlfriend was, Bai Yu knew very well that he was referring to Si Yu.

After all, when Si Yu came to their house last time, the whole family liked her very much. If this is Si Yu, then who else could it be?

However, Bai Yu wants to make a serious explanation here: Si Yu is a senior student, not a girlfriend. It is very bad to misunderstand someone like that.

"Dad, Siyu is just my senior from high school. We're just friends, nothing more. What if someone overhears this and misunderstands me?"

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Bai's father didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled, waved his hand, and asked in return.

"So what if she's a senior? If you get along, then go for it. If you don't go for it in college, when will you? If you want to go for it after graduation, there won't be any girls as good as you waiting for!"

Bai Yu understood and agreed with his father's words, but although he couldn't express his concerns now, he still had to mention some very practical issues.

"Dad, what are our family's conditions?"

Seeing his son's suddenly serious face, Mr. Bai paused slightly, but then replied with a smile.

"What kind of conditions? Well, they're not bad. I wouldn't say we're super rich, but we should be moderately well-off, right? Are you worried about not being able to afford a wife?"

Shaking his head, Bai Yu wasn't worried about whether he could afford to get married, but rather about the very practical issue of marrying someone of equal social standing.

"Dad, you probably don't know what Siyu's family situation is like. I can only say they're very rich, extremely rich, even richer than Uncle. We're not a good match for each other. Do you understand now?"

As soon as he said that, Bai Yu could see the momentary dimming and surprise in his father's eyes, but he still smiled and replied the next moment.

"So what if she's rich? Feelings are feelings. Her family being rich doesn't affect your relationship. It's okay, you can date if you want. You're both students, just from different family backgrounds. That doesn't mean you can't get along, right?"

It seems like Bai's father is encouraging Bai Yu, but isn't he also encouraging himself?

Bai Yu knew that his words might hurt his father's pride, since his son's words were too realistic and his father hadn't been able to provide a suitable match. So, Bai Yu immediately put on a smile and sat down on the sofa, putting his arm around his father's shoulder.

"Oh dear, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Your son is so outstanding, even if he doesn't become a second-generation rich kid, he'll definitely become a self-made millionaire."

"You brat, if you can become a self-made millionaire, I'll be your dad's horse for you to ride."

"Hahahaha~"

Perhaps there was a moment when the father and son discussed some very practical issues, creating an awkward atmosphere, but this did not affect their relationship.

However, Bai Yu was very clear about reality, which was why he never thought his relationships with his four ex-girlfriends in his previous life would have any lasting results.

If a poor and powerless man marries a rich and powerful woman, even if her family doesn't belittle him, he will still feel ashamed and unable to hold his head high.

This is why it's important to marry someone of equal social standing. The biggest reason is to treat each other as equals, with equal status, equal class, and equal rights.

If you can't overcome the hurdle of being well-matched in social status, don't even think about the mundane things like cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.

"Yu, when you go back to your hometown, I'll ask some of the aunties next door to introduce you to a few girls, how about it? Get to know them, and if you get along well, you can start a relationship, okay?"

Just as Bai Yu and her father were chatting and laughing on the sofa, talking about how they would become rich in the future, a remark from Bai's mother brought the topic back to her boyfriend.

"Mom, why are you so concerned about finding a partner? You're worried so much that I won't be able to find one!"

"Oh dear, it's good to be prepared. Hey? Whose black underwear is this in the guest room?"

Bai Yu: "Huh?"
