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

"I've spoiled you since you were little. Didn't you scold Bai Yu enough when you were a kid? I didn't bother with you because I thought it was better to avoid trouble. You've become more and more arrogant every year. If I don't scold you, you'll take advantage of my kindness, right? Buying clothes for Bai Yu is my way of apologizing to you. Do you really think everyone respects you? You must be dreaming!"

......

No one except Bai Yu's family knew about the family criticism session that Bai Yu's uncle held while driving in a fit of rage.

This time, Bai Zhanlin was truly enraged. If he didn't speak up, once Deng Baiyu entered society, the relationship between the two families would be severed from the generation of their parents.

At this moment, Bai Yu had no idea that his uncle was holding a family criticism meeting. He was already lying on the bed watching videos and doing nothing.

However, he soon found something to do when Murong Liyue, whom he hadn't contacted for a few days, sent him a message.

"Are you back?"

Bai Yu cannot easily ignore Murong Liyue's news, because if she does, who knows what this young lady might do.

It's not impossible that they might suddenly show up at your house.

If boys dare to openly walk into Bai Yu's dormitory and sleep in her clothes, why would they be afraid to come to Bai Yu's house?

"Back in my hometown."

He gave a simple reply, still seeming so perfunctory. Chapter 221 Why so sudden? (Not asking for a vote?)

Do you know why I'm looking for you today?

Murong Liyue always dealt with Bai Yu's impolite reply with a haughty and arrogant attitude.

As for this question, Bai Yu had no idea why this girl wanted to talk to him.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Even if Bai Yu didn't know why the assertive Murong Liyue was looking for him, he absolutely didn't want to know, because he knew it definitely wouldn't be anything good.

At this moment, Murong Liyue, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, did not reply to Bai Yu's message immediately. Instead, she put down her phone, went inside, and pulled out a small black suitcase before replying.

"Today is our holiday, have you forgotten?"

Bai Yu was baffled when she heard the news about Murong Liyue.

What do you mean by "our festival"? Why are you saying such nonsensical things?

Bai Yu opened the calendar and glanced at it before realizing, "Wow, I didn't even know it was Valentine's Day."

I'm not in a romantic relationship with Murong Liyue, so what does this holiday have to do with me? And she even asked me if I forgot, but it's not even a holiday for me, how could I forget?

"Today is not our holiday, and I have no intention of celebrating it."

The message was sent, and Murong Liyue replied quickly, sending another photo.

The photo shows the small black suitcase she pulled out earlier, accompanied by a caption.

"Your girlfriend is leaving, come to the airport to see her off."

Goodness, these words left Bai Yu completely bewildered. He realized that he simply couldn't keep up with Murong Liyue's thought process.

And why is she directly referring to herself as her girlfriend? It's like she's missing the gender part when talking about female friends, which makes it sound really weird.

However, Bai Yu realized the next moment that the girl was about to leave.

Damn, in that instant, Bai Yu thought of many things. One was that Murong Liyue was going to university in another place, and the other was that she was going to study abroad. In short, all of them were good news that would help him get rid of an ex-girlfriend who would bother him.

However, it's too late to be happy now, and I need to restrain myself. Being too obvious would be impolite, or maybe I'm just overthinking things.

Where are you going by plane?

"Maldives."

Hey, Bai Yu perked up immediately after seeing Murong Liyue's news.

"Where are you going and what are you going to do?"

He was laughing very happily, but his reply seemed very reserved.

Murong Liyue's reply made Bai Yu laugh heartily for quite a while.

Because that's what this girl replied.

"Studying abroad".

These two simple words—is there any news that could make Bai Yu happier than this? No, absolutely none.

But Bai Yu's smile faded as he looked at the other side of the road. In that instant, a sentence came to mind: Some people drift apart as time goes by, coming and going in a hurry. You might think you'll meet again someday, but it could be that you never will meet again!

Wishing you a bright future and a safe journey.

Bai Yu suddenly felt a little unhappy again. After all, aside from Murong Liyue's strange behavior and abnormality, she was actually a very good girl.

Murong Liyue replied to the message shortly afterward.

"You can come and see me off one last time. I'll be waiting for you at Beicheng Airport!"

The conversation ended there after that message was sent.

Bai Yu may have been genuinely happy for a moment, but after the happiness subsided, a strange sadness welled up inside him.

People are really strange sometimes.

You suggested sending her, but Bai Yu actually felt it was a bit of a hassle, since it takes almost four hours to get from her hometown to Beicheng Airport, which is a whole morning.

But judging from Murong Liyue's words, it seemed that she was quite looking forward to him seeing her off.

Bai Yu was extremely hesitant at this moment, unsure whether to go or not.

However, he finally made up his mind to go, because some people and some things come suddenly and leave suddenly.

Although Murong Liyue had not shown any signs of going abroad to study, if she didn't go this time, she might miss the last chance to meet him.

Let this be a way to settle my guilt from the previous life. It's a rare opportunity to meet again in this life, so it must be fate.

"Hey~"

With a sigh, Bai Yu stood up, put on her clothes, grabbed her ID card, and ran off without saying goodbye to her parents.

After all, it takes eight hours to go there and back. If I'm too lazy to come back in the afternoon, I'll just check into a hotel and rest for the night.

Bai Yu didn't take a taxi directly, but took a high-speed train, and arrived in just over an hour.

However, taking the bus to the high-speed train also takes an hour or two, so the time saved isn't that much, it's just a lot cheaper.

After Bai Yu arrived at Beicheng East Station, she took the subway to Beicheng Airport.

Bai Yu had already asked, and Murong Liyue's flight was in the evening. She would first go to the capital and then transfer to the Maldives the next day.

Therefore, Baiyu has plenty of time and can make it in time.

When he arrived at the airport entrance, he saw Murong Liyue standing in the center of the square with her suitcase in the distance.

Seeing that she was all alone, it seemed that none of Murong Liyue's family members had come to see her off, which Bai Yu found a bit unbelievable.

But then I think, the family of this kind of rich girl is probably very busy, so it's not surprising that they don't have time to deliver it.

Bai Yu quickly approached Murong Liyue and subconsciously sized her up.

Today, this icy beauty's long blue hair wasn't tied up; instead, it was naturally draped over her back. She wore a gray-white coat with black trousers, looking simple yet exuding a sophisticated and mature aura.

"You're here?"

A cool voice came from Murong Liyue's small mouth, giving Bai Yu a strange feeling of reluctance.

"What time is your flight tonight? Don't stand here, go inside or sit on a public bench for a while?"

Bai Yu appeared quite calm, at least for the moment.

However, Murong Liyue shook her head and naturally straightened Bai Yu's collar, saying...

"It was sudden, wasn't it?"

Bai Yu was naturally taken aback by these words; they came as a complete surprise without any warning whatsoever.

"It's quite sudden. I never expected that you, President, would... be going to study abroad, and to such a small country at that..."

Upon hearing this, Murong Liyue reached out and grasped Bai Yu's hand, her tone unusually gentle.

"So you still don't want to in the end?"

Looking into Murong Liyue's expectant eyes, Bai Yu saw Murong Liyue with such an expression for the first time.

However, Bai Yu would never say such a thing, since being willing would mean being directly bought out of freedom.

Seeing that Bai Yu did not give any answer, Murong Liyue asked again.

Do you like me? Even just a little bit.

Perhaps it was because of the impending separation, or perhaps it was the slightly reluctant tone in Murong Liyue's voice, but Bai Yu actually mumbled something indistinctly.

"I can't say I like it, but I can't say I dislike it either."

Chapter 222 A Trick or a Trick

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Murong Liyue took Bai Yu's hand and asked calmly.

"There is still a little bit, right?"

When asked this question, Bai Yu was telling the truth: wouldn't any normal guy like a beautiful and elegant older sister like Murong Liyue on the first meeting?

"Maybe."

Since it's all farewell anyway, I figured I might as well not be so direct and give a vague answer, something ambiguous would be fine.

Moreover, Murong Liyue is so beautiful, it would be unrealistic not to like her at all.

"I'm."
