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

Although this empty promise may seem unrealistic, or even a joke, knowing it might still lift your spirits, right?

This is the result of Ju Qing being completely manipulated by Bai Yu without realizing it.

At this moment, Ju Qing really thought that Bai Yu had feelings for her, or even that Bai Yu was just too shy to confess.

Misunderstandings are something that both boys and girls like to make connections. You just need to give a girl a starting point for making connections, and then she'll start to imagine things in a bigger and bigger, more and more perfect way.

Boys are rational and might think about bad outcomes, while girls are emotional and prefer to think positively.

Once Bai Yu returns home, he should theoretically be free from his ex-girlfriends' disturbances until the end of the holiday.

However, just one day before the Spring Festival, this leisurely period came to an abrupt end. Chapter 205: The Quiet Holiday Comes to an End (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

You might ask why the holiday ended early?

That was naturally the night before the Spring Festival. Bai Yu was setting off fireworks and firecrackers in her own yard.

When I was a kid, I might have loved this thing, but as I grew up, I preferred playing with flowers. Holding it for a while and then putting it down didn't feel right anymore.

Tie the fireworks together with transparent tape to make a Gatling gun, light them all at once, and have a blast.

Originally, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers during the Lunar New Year was very lively, and every household did the same.

But just as Bai Yu ran out of the courtyard with his homemade Gatling gun fireworks, ready to show off his skills, he saw a pretty figure standing outside the gate, peeking into the house.

The figure stunned Bai Yu the moment he saw it.

Because the person standing at their door was not someone else, but the girl Qing Sisi.

It's so annoying! Bai Yu knows where Qing Sisi's home is. It's in the city, about three hours away from her hometown.

Why is this girl running to her own doorstep so late at night?

Holding fireworks in her hand, Bai Yu's face no longer held her usual aloof demeanor; instead, it wore a somewhat silly smile.

Bang bang bang bang~

The sound of fireworks bursting out of the pipes and soaring into the sky rang out, followed by Qing Sisi's delicate voice.

"Senior."

These two simple words conveyed the girl's grievances to Bai Yu.

As for why she felt wronged, Bai Yu had no idea. She wasn't Qing Sisi, so how would she know what she was wronged about?

Bai Yu was initially reluctant to pay attention to Qing Sisi, after all, the girl's sudden appearance had really startled him.

Looking at the girl with her head down and her hands clasped tightly together, it seemed like something was really wrong.

He reached out and handed the Gatling gun-shaped firework in his hand to Qing Sisi, and only after the girl took it with a dazed look did he ask her in an annoyed tone.

"Why are you at my doorstep? Who told you my hometown address? Why did you come here?"

Bai Yu directly posed three questions to Qing Sisi, asking her to answer them.

This time, Qing Sisi seemed to have really suffered some injustice, and answered the three questions one by one with a pitiful expression.

"My grandma told me where you live, senior. I just wanted to meet you, so I came over."

Given Qing Sisi's cheerful and outgoing personality, this obedient way of answering questions is completely unlike her; she must be hiding something from herself.

"Tell me, what's wrong? Why are you looking so aggrieved?"

Bai Yu's tone was still impolite, but her words clearly revealed a hint of concern.

After Qing Sisi explained why she came to see Bai Yu looking so aggrieved, Bai Yu finally understood.

It turned out that Qing Sisi had gone to her maternal grandparents' house with her parents, but her maternal grandparents had always been prejudiced against her father, while they had no such reservations about her uncles and said very hurtful things.

This year, they even had a fight because of Qing Sisi's parents' past elopement when they were young. Family harmony is absolutely impossible every time she visits her maternal grandparents; it's bound to be unpleasant.

Feeling wronged, she immediately thought of Bai Yu, and without hesitation, she took a taxi to Bai Yu for comfort.

You might say Qing Sisi is naive, but she really is a bit naive, coming to her own house for something like this.

You might say Qing Sisi is bold, but this girl really is bold; she dares to run away from home without saying a word.

Bai Yu is having a terrible headache right now.

"What's the big deal? We're all family, let's try to understand each other. Come on, I'll call you a taxi to take you home."

Although Bai Yu was indeed surprised to see Qing Sisi suddenly appear at her doorstep, she knew it was impossible for her to take the girl in.

However, Qing Sisi had no intention of going back after arriving. She reached out and tugged at Bai Yu's sleeve, asking pitifully.

"Senior, can someone stay at your house for one night? It won't be any trouble at all."

Looking at Qing Sisi's eyes as she looked up at him, her eyelashes were a little wet, clearly because she had been crying because she felt wronged. It turned out that this girl, who seemed so carefree, had a fragile heart.

The way she gently bit her pearly teeth further emphasized her pleading.

However, none of this was the reason why Bai Yu let Qing Sisi stay for one night.

This girl doesn't have to go back, but she absolutely cannot stay at her own home; doing so would only cause more trouble.

After all, Si Yu had already opened his house last time. If he came again next time, and one of his family members let slip that Qing Sisi had also been to his house, wouldn't that be the end of them?

"If you can't stay at my house, go to a hotel. I'll take you there."

As she said this, Bai Yu turned her head and glanced at the courtyard inside the wooden door. Bai Qiji was still setting off fireworks in the courtyard and hadn't noticed her.

At this moment, Bai Yu grabbed the Gatling gun fireworks that Qing Sisi had placed on the ground and started setting them off as she walked towards the roadside.

Although this is a rural road, not in the city, you can still get a taxi at night. Although they are not taxis, there are ride-hailing services available.

To stay at the hotel, you need to go into the city, which is only about half an hour away, and you can take a taxi.

At this moment, Qing Sisi looked at Bai Yu walking ahead and setting off fireworks. Although Bai Yu always seemed aloof and domineering towards her, she still felt the care beneath his domineering demeanor.

If you don't care, why would you personally arrange and send yourself off? That's the reason.

After the fireworks ended, Bai Yu's taxi was almost there.

For him, Qing Sisi was a nuisance, but for Qing Sisi, Bai Yu was just a hypocrite.

To put it simply, Bai Yu, in Qing Sisi's eyes, is someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

If Qing Sisi didn't say she fell in love with Bai Yu at first sight, it would be more accurate to say that she felt a sense of familiarity and even déjà vu when she first saw Bai Yu.

The feeling was like a continuation of a past life's destiny.

"I'm leaving. I'll take you to a hotel. You can take a taxi back tomorrow. You're such a troublesome guy."

She was muttering curses under her breath, but Qing Sisi didn't care about Bai Yu's behavior at all, or rather, she liked Bai Yu even more because of it.

She actually prefers guys like Bai Yu, who are completely unpretentious, to guys who always act like gentlemen.

After getting into the car, Bai Yu was initially a little depressed, but she soon remembered a problem.

That means asking Qing Sisi what kind of boys and things she dislikes, so that I can follow that path in the future.

"Qing Sisi, let me ask you a question: what kind of boy do you like?"

Upon hearing Bai Yu's sudden question, Qing Sisi, who had been keeping her head down and remaining silent, instantly showed a look of surprise.

Her little index fingers nervously touched each other in front of her cheek as she asked shyly.

"Senior...are you...going to confess your feelings to her?"

P.S.: [I used my monthly pass to commission a character design illustration. Please look forward to seeing who it is! So please give me lots of passes, guys!]

Chapter 206 Let Me Go

Upon hearing Qing Sisi's sudden remark, Bai Yu raised her hand and gave the girl a flick on the forehead.

"What confession? They just asked what kind of guys you like or dislike. Seriously, what are you thinking about all day?"

"What is Naoko thinking?"

Bai Yu clearly said "brain," but Qing Sisi misheard it as "Nai Zi." This...

Looking at Qing Sisi, who was staring at him with a puzzled expression, Bai Yu rubbed her forehead and said.

"Brain, brain, not Naiko."

These words truly convey a sense of disappointment and frustration.

However, Qing Sisi was not upset at being scolded. Instead, she covered her blushing face and said in a coquettish voice.

"She likes guys like senior students and dislikes guys who aren't senior students."

*Smack!* Another flick on the forehead. Bai Yu said, somewhat speechless.

"Let's get serious, stop with the fluff."

"Oh, I like guys who are a bit domineering like you, senior. I don't like the gentleman type. They seem a bit pretentious."

Hearing this, Bai Yu got a fairly general answer.

So that's how it is. Qing Sisi likes gentlemen, no, she likes men who are a bit domineering. No wonder this girl liked me in both my past and present lives. Was I really that domineering?

I need to change that. I can't be so domineering when I'm with Qing Sisi anymore. Instead, I need to act more like a gentleman.

Let's not do it today, as that would seem too deliberate and would be highly suspicious of being discovered.

I'll come back after I've settled this girl in. I'll carry out this plan again when I meet her next time.

When Bai Yu took Qing Sisi to a hotel, the girl inexplicably blushed and became shy, as if Bai Yu had brought her there to do something.

Are there any single rooms available?

Bai Yu was too lazy to pay attention to Qing Sisi, so she went straight to the hotel front desk and asked the receptionist if there were any private rooms available.

There are plenty of hotels in the city, but perhaps because it's almost Chinese New Year, the room prices are much higher than usual.

"I'm sorry, sir, we only have double rooms and king rooms available right now. Single rooms are all full."

Hearing the front desk say that only double rooms and king rooms were available, Qing Sisi decided to go for the king room since she was the only one staying there.

After showing her ID card and having it verified at the front desk, Bai Yu was given the room key and floor number.

When he brought Qing Si to the room, Bai Yu first looked at the facilities in the king-size bed room. Although it was not a high-end hotel, the facilities were still very complete, and the door security was also acceptable.
