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

Looking at Si Yu's wet eyelashes and expectant eyes, Bai Yu felt that she was going to disappoint Si Yu. How could she possibly wear something like that?

"No, it's at home."

Upon hearing this, Si Yu immediately became somewhat dissatisfied.

"How can you not wear it? Look, even your older sister is wearing one!"

As he said this, Si Yu reached out and unbuttoned his collar, taking out a jade Guanyin from the deep cleavage that drew the eye.

But when Bai Yu saw Si Yu's jade Guanyin, he realized that the two pieces of jade were originally a pair. But why did Si Yu give him a jade Buddha instead of a jade Guanyin?

"Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, you should be wearing Buddha, don't you know that?"

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Si Yu asked with some confusion.

"Is there such a saying? I also thought that men should wear men's clothes and women should wear women's clothes."

"It's just a folk custom. Actually, I don't know much about it; I just know there's a saying about it."

Upon hearing this, Si Yu reached out and took the jade Guanyin statue off without hesitation, then promptly handed it to Bai Yu.

"Then I'll do as you say. This jade Guanyin is for you, and you can give me the jade Buddha next time, okay?"

Looking at the jade Guanyin pendant that Si Yu handed her, Bai Yu had never thought of wearing such a thing, but seeing Si Yu's expectant eyes, she felt that it would be a bit wrong not to accept it.

Bai Yu reached out and took the jade Guanyin from Si Yu's delicate hand. Before she could put it in her pocket, Si Yu suddenly leaned in and lightly touched her cheek with her small lips.

"Wear it. If your sister isn't here, she will protect you like this jade Guanyin. Can you feel her warmth?"

Si Yu's words only made things worse, because Bai Yu actually felt warmth on the jade Guanyin in her hand.

After all, it was just taken from Si Yu's two-pronged attack, so how could it not be warm?

Although I could feel the temperature, why did Si Yu kiss me like that? And why did her words sound so dangerous? What do you mean by "gone"? Don't scare me, okay?

"Can't you speak properly? What do you mean 'gone'? Why are you saying such unlucky things during the New Year?"

Bai Yu didn't know if she was panicking or genuinely afraid of what Si Yu might do; her tone was completely out of her control, clearly showing some displeasure.

But Si Yu covered her mouth and giggled because of Bai Yu's angry tone, her breasts heaving up and down, which was really dazzling.

"Are you worried about your sister? Is that right? You probably are."

He asked three questions in a row, each more certain than the last, and each time he laughed more heartily.

This is what it feels like to be cared for; it might be because even a casual remark you make is taken seriously.

Si Yu had always longed for this feeling. She had experienced it twice with Bai Yu, and although it was only twice, she was already very satisfied.

After all, life is long, experiences are long, and the number of times is limited. There may not be many, but there is also a simple life.

"They've driven off. By the time they get to your house, it'll probably be almost 10 or 11. What are you still laughing about?"

Bai Yu felt embarrassed that Si Yu had seen through his thoughts, and this was not the effect he wanted to achieve at all, so his tone returned to its usual indifference.

But this is truly a case of "better late than never." If it were so easy to make amends, it would be far too easy.

Si Yu sat back in the driver's seat, gripped the steering wheel, and started the accelerator. The car gradually began to move.

Bai Yu looked at Si Yu's profile, which was still laughing while driving, and genuinely wondered what this girl could do that was so funny.

But even though that's what he was thinking, why was there a slight smile playing on Bai Yu's lips? He probably wasn't even aware of it himself.

People always have two sides. Even though he didn't want to have anything to do with Si Yu anymore, he still chose to compromise for various reasons.

Although they verbally refer to each other as siblings, their relationship is clearly starting to develop in a plot similar to that of "Autumn Colors in the Sky".

Even though they're not blood-related siblings, it still feels a bit strange.

Turning to look out the window, the sky was already completely dark, and the occasional passing vehicles on the roadside carried a strange sense of desolation.

Bai Yu closed her eyes; she was used to sleeping on the bus, and sleeping was the only way she could pass the time properly.

As for playing on your phone, even if you don't get carsick, you'll get carsick if you play on it for a while, so there's absolutely no way Bai Yu would play on her phone while traveling.

When it was 11 p.m., Si Yu and Bai Yu finally arrived at their destination.

"Bai Yu, we're here! Isn't your driving skill amazing? You got here so quickly!"

Rubbing her eyes, Bai Yu gave Si Yu the middle finger as a sign of respect for her self-praise. Chapter 215 There Will Always Be a Useful Day (Monthly Tickets +19)

Following Si Yu into the elevator in the underground parking lot, Bai Yu found herself on the same floor, in the same room, with the same interior decorations, yet she felt a sense of emptiness and loneliness.

Taking out her phone, Si Yu glanced at the time and hurriedly opened the kitchen door, grabbed some ingredients, and ran into the kitchen.

Seeing the girl rushing back as soon as she returned, Bai Yu couldn't help but ask a question in confusion.

"Siyu, what are you doing?"

"Call me 'sister'! There's still an hour left. Sister, you need to hurry and cook one or two dishes so we can celebrate the New Year together!"

Although the words were spoken lightly, even with a touch of playfulness, Bai Yu felt a strange pang of sadness mixed in with them.

She's clearly a rich young lady, clearly so wealthy, clearly so beautiful, clearly she should have everything better than me, an ordinary person, so why does she seem so lonely right now?

Ding~

A phone rang with the sound of a message notification. It wasn't Bai Yu's phone, but Si Yu's phone, which was on the dining table.

Bai Yu glanced at it subconsciously and almost died of fright from the message. The girl's text message showed a deposit notification—ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, millions...

Bai Yu glanced at it and didn't dare to count anymore. What did Si Yu do? How could she have so much money coming in? And the balance was such a long string of numbers.

"Holy crap, she's really rich."

Bai Yu really couldn't contain her amazement.

However, he soon discovered that Si Yu's phone's lock screen wallpaper was actually his own photo, which...

Reaching out to pick up Si Yu's phone, Bai Yu noticed that many girls seemed to like to put stickers or cute decorations on their phones, and Si Yu was no exception.

Just as Bai Yu was looking at Si Yu's phone case, Si Yu came out of the kitchen and happened to see Bai Yu examining her phone.

This scene left Si Yu somewhat bewildered, and naturally made Bai Yu a little embarrassed as well, since cell phones are personal privacy, and it was really inappropriate for her to hold them.

But the next thing Si Yu said made Bai Yu feel like her brain couldn't keep up with this girl.

"Are you curious about what's on your sister's phone? There's nothing there. The password is 159753. Open it and see for yourself. Your WeChat and QQ accounts are logged in, you can look at them all~"

After saying that, Si Yu gave Bai Yu a charming smile and even winked at her before opening the refrigerator, taking out a piece of beef, and returning to the kitchen.

Bai Yu was completely taken aback. Under normal circumstances, what girl would so casually show her phone to someone else, especially willingly?

For a moment, he inexplicably felt a sense of security. What was that all about? He had this strange feeling that if Si Yuruo were his girlfriend, it would be really great.

The moment this feeling surfaced, Bai Yu forcibly recalled the images of how they had hurt her that night, tearing it apart.

What does it matter if things are good or bad? The most important thing is to live a healthy life.

However, out of curiosity, Bai Yu tried the password 159753 and it actually opened.

Seeing that Si Yu's phone not only has her own photo as the cover image, but also has photos of herself inside, doesn't this girl feel embarrassed?

I felt really embarrassed looking at it myself.

Turning off the screen, Bai Yu put the phone back. She wasn't overly curious about Si Yu's privacy yet.

Everyone should have some privacy; this is the most basic respect.

Bai Yu never tries to clear his name as a scumbag, nor does he think that being a scumbag is a good title. Rather, he says that neither scumbags nor scumbags are anything glamorous.

Regarding his previous life, Bai Yu felt that he should indeed be punished, but not to the point of death; his four girlfriends had gone a bit too far.

Looking at the time, it was 11:23:06. Perhaps Si Yu really wanted to experience the New Year. She was busy in the kitchen all by herself, just to be able to finish one or two dishes before midnight.

"Siyu, let me help you, that way we can get there faster."

His tone was still calm, but the words he spoke made Si Yuzhen want to go up and hug Bai Yu and give him a big kiss. This younger brother was just too considerate.

"No need to trouble Brother Bai Yu, I'll just make you a plate of beef. I've ordered all the other food for delivery, it should be here soon."

Hearing that Si Yu actually ordered takeout, why bother making beef jerky?

"Just order takeout, why bother copying it yourself?"

Bai Yu really couldn't understand Si Yu's thoughts.

But Si Yu's answer showed Bai Yu what it meant to be a sister's doting affection.

"Because you like beef, little brother, I'll make you some. The beef you get outside is so little, and it's not as good as what I make."

Watching Si Yu stir-frying beef while wearing an apron and brushing her hair behind her ear, I truly felt like she was a virtuous wife.

dong dong dong~

"Is this Miss Si's house? The takeout has arrived."

Just as Bai Yu was standing at the kitchen door, staring blankly at Si Yu's cooking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Little brother, the takeout has arrived. Can you help your sister get it?"

Si Yu didn't even need to say anything; Bai Yu had already stepped to the door, opened it, and received the takeout.

Si Yu ordered quite a lot of things, including dry pot dishes, cold dishes, crayfish, boiled fish, and so on.

Anyway, it wasn't just one or two delivery guys who came to deliver the food; several came one after another.

After everything was ready, it was already 11:43.

Only Si Yu and Bai Yu were in the more than 100-square-meter house. Bai Yu didn't feel anything as she listened to the fireworks outside, but Si Yu held her chopsticks and clasped her hands together, feeling a little like crying.

"Little brother Baiyu... Happy New Year! This is one of the best New Years I've ever had. Here's some lucky money for you..."

He reached into his apron pocket, took out a red envelope, and handed it to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu was genuinely surprised when Si Yu suddenly took out a red envelope and gave it to her.

"It's not Senior Siyu, I..."

"Call me 'sister,' you can't disobey! Call me 'sister,' and I'll give you a red envelope! Hurry up!"

Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, Si Yu interrupted him, puffing out her cheeks and angrily telling him to call her "sister" instead of "senior sister."

"No, why would I take your red envelope? We're about the same age, you can keep your money. Consider this meal your treat, okay?"

There's no way I'd accept the red envelopes and the "rain of money" (a euphemism for bribery). After all, they're quite thick, and it would be a huge waste to take them.
