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

If he said he liked her, wouldn't that be puncturing the false relationship between them? If he said he didn't like her, wouldn't that be indirectly severing his relationship with Su Rongxue? Even if they were still friends, they would have to become strangers.

This is one of the reasons why Murong Liyue is the most difficult to deal with.

However, Bai Yu and Su Rongxue did not have that kind of relationship, so it couldn't be romantic love between them. They were just friends, so they were just friends.

"I've already said we're friends, not in that kind of relationship, and there's no romantic attraction between us. President, can you ask some more normal questions?"

Bai Yu's words were firm, which pleased Murong Liyue, but made Su Rongxue bite her lip, feeling a strange sense of grievance.

When Su Rongxue told a very pretty girl that they were just friends, this friendship suddenly made her feel like she didn't really like it anymore.

"You have time for your friends, but no time for your girlfriend?"

As she said this, Murong Liyue gave Bai Yu a resentful look, which made Bai Yu stunned. This girl can look like that?

Su Rongxue felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, but she didn't dare to say anything and didn't know what to say. She just felt wronged and that was all she could feel. She thought to herself, "When did Bai Yu get such a beautiful girlfriend? I didn't even know."

However, Bai Yu did not comply with Murong Liyue's words. He was a man of his word, how could he possibly arrange things casually with a woman? Besides, their relationship wasn't that kind of relationship, was it?

"President, please don't let people misunderstand. We're just friends. You should say it clearly. Female friend, not girlfriend. Besides, Su Rongxue and I made an appointment to have dinner first. A gentleman's word is his bond. I don't have a girlfriend, let alone any girlfriend time."

Bai Yu's words were perfectly worded and without any flaws, leaving Murong Liyue with no reason to refute them.

"Oh, then just remember the boundaries between friends, after all, you already have me!"

After saying that, Murong Liyue took out her phone and transferred another thousand yuan to Bai Yu.

“Take this to treat your friends to dinner. Don’t say I, Murong Liyue, am stingy.”

Murong Liyue's actions were incredibly swift. If Bai Yu hadn't known that there was no relationship between them, he would have really thought this girl was his domineering girlfriend.

"Come on, boss, stop messing around. You're making it easy for people to misunderstand me."

In response to this statement, Murong Liyue reached out and tugged at Bai Yu's collar, then whispered in his ear.

"If you change your mind, I'll really get angry."

With that, Murong Liyue left. Her light steps suggested that something was on her mind, but Bai Yu felt utterly exhausted.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Murong Liyue did not ask Su Rongxue any questions, which suggests that Su Rongxue's fragility meant she hadn't taken her seriously yet.

Su Rongxue was timid by nature, and Murong Liyue had a strong aura, so she didn't dare to say anything. She could only wait for Murong Liyue to leave before subconsciously reaching out to grab Bai Yu's clothes, seeking some protection.

Bai Yu was already used to Murong Liyue's domineering attitude. As long as he refused to admit that he had confirmed his relationship with Murong Liyue, there shouldn't be any major problems for the time being.

As long as the relationship is not confirmed, Murong Liyue naturally cannot interfere in so many things.

Turning to look at Su Rongxue beside her, Bai Yu noticed that the girl hadn't said a word the whole time, probably because she was intimidated by Murong Liyue's aloofness and domineering nature.

It's unfair to this girl, since they are friends. It was indeed Murong Liyue who misunderstood.

"It's alright, Su Rongxue. That's our club president. He likes to joke around all the time. That's just his personality. Don't worry about it."

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Su Rongxue simply nodded obediently.

From that moment on, Su Rongxue and Bai Yu haven't exchanged a single word.

Bai Yu thought that this girl's fragile heart might have been frightened by Murong Liyue.

But Su Rongxue wasn't scared at all; she felt that her friendship with Bai Yu was drifting further and further away because of the word "friend."

When it came time to order food, Bai Yu just kept eating, but Su Rongxue didn't seem to care much and barely touched her chopsticks.

Seeing Su Rongxue like this, Bai Yu didn't know what was wrong with the girl; she seemed really strange today.

"What's wrong, Su Rongxue? Eat up. It's not easy for me to treat you. If you don't eat this time, you won't get to eat next time."

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Su Rongxue picked up her chopsticks, gently bit her rosy cherry lips, placed a piece of meat in Bai Yu's bowl, and mustered her courage to speak haltingly.

"Bai Yu, I...I'll give you the money...Can you return the money to the president?"

Cowardice and humility—that's the feeling Bai Yu is experiencing with Su Rongxue right now.

However, Bai Yu would return the money even without Su Rongxue's permission. He had never accepted cash from Murong Liyue before. This girl was eager for him to receive the money, so how could he possibly accept it?

"No need. That's just how the president is. She's often acting strangely. I won't take her money, and you don't need to give me any either. Keep it for yourself."

Bai Yu refused Su Rongxue's offer, but Su Rongxue didn't say anything more. She just felt a little flustered, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Bai Yu treated everyone to lunch, but Su Rongxue barely ate anything, not even touching her bowl of rice.

I don't know if this girl really can't eat, or if she just doesn't have a good appetite. She keeps putting food on Bai Yu's plate, but she doesn't eat any herself.

"Eat by yourself, don't keep putting food on my plate. I'm just treating you to a meal."

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Su Rongxue hesitated before bringing up the unusual topic of wanting to raise Bai Yu again.

"Actually... I can support you. You don't need anyone else to give you money. I... can give you..."

Bai Yu was both amused and exasperated by this remark. Was it really necessary for friends to act this way?

"No need, just buy some snacks for yourself. There's no need for this between friends. True friends don't need money as a foundation."

"Friends again?" Su Rongxue found the word "friends" increasingly annoying. Chapter 237 Making a Decision

After lunch, Bai Yu took Su Rongxue home but didn't say more than a few words to her.

This girl has given Bai Yu a strange feeling ever since she left the classroom; she seems slightly different from the cute girl she usually is.

However, Bai Yu didn't ask too many questions. Although they were indeed friends, Bai Yu couldn't possibly develop a very close relationship with Su Rongxue.

After all, there's a shadow that's hard to erase, so being able to become friends is already an impossible possibility; to get any better is practically impossible.

Back in the dormitory, Bai Yu and her three roommates took a nap before having to attend classes in the afternoon.

That day, Bai Yu noticed that Su Rongxue seemed absent-minded.

This girl was sitting in front of me during afternoon class, and she was clearly distracted.

There are two classes in the afternoon: one major course and one general lecture.

Bai Yu will once again run into Qing Sisi's brother, Qing Siling.

It seems that this guy hasn't dressed as a woman since that one time.

Of course, even without women's clothing, he still looks so feminine, especially since he speaks in such a womanly way. Bai Yu is afraid that one day someone might seduce him.

Whenever Qing Siling attends a large class with Bai Yu, she will always come and sit next to Bai Yu.

These large classes usually require scrambling for seats, and of course, everyone is scrambling for front-row seats.

How could someone like Bai Yu, who's all talk and no action, possibly try to steal anything? It would be good enough if he just came to class obediently.

"Brother Baiyu, long time no see! How was your New Year?"

Seeing Qing Siling sit down next to her on her own, Bai Yu really didn't like this guy at all.

"It's not good at all. Seeing you makes me feel bad too."

Qing Siling didn't mind Bai Yu's blunt words; Bai Yu was simply a straightforward guy.

"Hey, Brother Bai Yu, that's going too far. We'll be brothers from now on, so be a little more polite."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. Your sister and I have absolutely no relationship. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll fuck you, you believe me?"

Hearing Bai Yu's joking tone, Qing Siling reached out, took out her phone, handed Bai Yu a photo, and smiled.

"Here, my sister said she'd give you her best picture. She's probably very busy during her final semester of senior year, so she wants you to look at her whenever you miss her. Of course, you can also call or video chat; she'll definitely answer."

Looking at the picture Qing Sisi wearing a JK uniform and sticking out her little tongue, handed to me by Qing Siling, cute and playful has always been the epitome of this girl.

However, Bai Yu was too lazy to explain to Qing Siling. This guy was so stubborn. She had already said it was okay, but he still ignored her words. He was really annoying.

"Oh, by the way, as your good buddy, I'll treat you to a natural hot spring at the top of Beicheng Mountain next time. Want to come?"

Upon hearing this, it's worth mentioning that Bai Yu has never soaked in a natural hot spring before. She has only heard of the natural hot springs in Beicheng Mountain and has never been there.

"Yes, how could I not go? You're treating, so I have to go. Is food, drinks, and accommodation all included?"

"Absolutely, do we brothers need to be so polite?"

"Can I bring my roommates? I have four buddies in my dorm who all wear rompers. I'm afraid you'll leech off me if I don't bring them."

Bai Yu was clearly joking when she said this, but it was true that she wanted to bring Li Cheng and the other two along; it was just that she was being too direct.

As for bringing a few more people, Qing Siling said it was no problem at all.

His main purpose in inviting Bai Yu was to get him into their circle. After all, Bai Yu was a man who was likely to be with his sister, and if he didn't mingle with their circle of young masters, he would make a fool of himself later.

Bai Yu had no idea what Qing Si Ling was thinking, nor did he know anything about high society circles; he only knew that he could get freebies from Qing Si Ling.

"Okay, I'll call you then. Bring your roommates, and I'll have the driver come pick you up."

Damn, hearing that the driver was coming to pick him up made Bai Yu feel uncomfortable all over. Were all three of his ex-girlfriends really rich girls?

Although Su Rongxue was the most ruthless after turning evil, she now seems to be the most innocent.

After finishing afternoon classes and having dinner, I still have to attend evening self-study sessions.

Anyway, after a day of studying, Bai Yu felt really tired of going back to studying.

University can be a time of ease or a time of exhaustion; it all depends on the individual.

However, the achievements one attains naturally depend on individual needs.

Bai Yu definitely won't study on her own during evening self-study; she'll either be playing on her phone or sleeping soundly.

Su Rongxue was listless all day, and Xia Rong, who knew the girl best, could immediately tell what was wrong with her.

No matter how much they asked, the girl couldn't give them a clear answer.

"Xiaoxue, I've noticed you haven't been taking notes much this afternoon. Are you feeling unwell, or what? If you don't tell me something, I won't know. You need to tell me so I can find out and help you think of a solution, right?"

Xia Rong held Su Rongxue's small hand and asked earnestly.

But Su Rongxue herself couldn't explain why she was listless and unhappy.

"I...I don't know..."

The timid and aggrieved voice broke Xia Rong's heart, and the first thing that came to her mind was that Bai Yu had bullied her.

Because the only bad person Su Rongxue encountered today was Bai Yu, who else could it be but Bai Yu?

"Did Bai Yu bully you? I didn't even ask you what happened during class this afternoon. Now you have to answer honestly. If it really is Bai Yu, I definitely won't let him get away with it."

Upon hearing Xia Rong's words, Su Rongxue quickly explained.
