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

"Feel sorry."

After saying that, Bai Yu turned away and stopped looking at Su Rongxue's aggrieved expression with her lips pursed, which made her heart ache.

It's incredibly difficult to reject such a cute, understanding, and petite girl.

But Su Rongxue felt an extreme urge to rush up and push Bai Yu down the stairs after Bai Yu's repeated rejections.

This thought was quickly suppressed by Su Rongxue. She felt that she could not possibly have such thoughts of hurting Bai Yu.

However, the tears that she couldn't help but shed made Bai Yu's figure increasingly blurry as Su Rongxue looked at him, and she even had the illusion that if she let Bai Yu leave now, she might never see him again.

Ignoring the textbook beneath her feet, Su Rongxue took a step without even looking at the stairs. Her foot slipped, and she felt weightless as she fell towards Bai Yu.

However, Su Rongxue did not panic in this situation. She only felt that this way she could get closer to Bai Yu, grab Bai Yu, and not let Bai Yu leave her world.

Bai Yu was in a bit of a mess because of Su Rongxue's confession. As soon as he landed on the ground, he felt a delicate body fall on him from behind.

With a muffled thud, Bai Yu was thrown heavily to the ground. Luckily, she didn't land face-first, otherwise, she would have truly been ruined.

Although Bai Yu's face was not injured when she fell, her hand, which she instinctively used to brace herself, was clearly twisted and visibly swollen.

At this moment, Su Rongxue also woke up from her state of not wanting Bai Yu to leave, her face revealing fear, panic, and even helplessness.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Sitting on Bai Yu's lap, Su Rongxue kept apologizing, but if apologizing could solve such a thing, would there still be injuries and deaths?

It would be impossible for Bai Yu not to be angry after Su Rongxue's tackle.

The pain in his hand was making it difficult for him to control his anger.

Holding her injured right wrist with her left hand, Bai Yu said in a slightly angry tone.

"Get off me."

Bai Yu seemed like a completely different person when she was angry or not, and her angry shout did indeed startle Su Rongxue.

She tiptoed and carefully climbed off Bai Yu, her small face filled with timidity, apology, and even a hint of grievance.

Reaching out to hold Bai Yu's injured left hand, she opened her small mouth, blowing on it while sobbing as she apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Bai Yu, who was originally furious, was unsure whether Su Rongxue's aggrieved and heartbroken appearance was intentional or unintentional.

Perhaps it was because I shielded her from the pain, otherwise she would definitely be the one who got hurt. Luckily, Su Rongxue is petite; if it were a slightly overweight girl, I would definitely be in much worse shape.

Turning around and sitting up, she realized that the students usually left quickly after evening self-study, and Bai Yu and Su Rongxue had left very late. Now, there were probably only a few people left on the floor, making it very quiet. Su Rongxue's choked sobs were even more clearly audible. (Chapter 240: The Danger of Being No Longer on the Same Channel)

Su Rongxue didn't mind the dirt on the ground. After Bai Yu got up, she knelt down in front of him and kept rubbing his injured hand with her small hands, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing Su Rongxue like this, Bai Yu couldn't bear to stay angry any longer. After all, it was just a sprain, and she would be fine in a few days. Getting angry wouldn't help.

"Stop crying, it's alright, I forgive you, you should go back now."

As Bai Yu said this, she tried to get Su Rongxue to let go of her injured right hand and stand up.

Su Rongxue released her grip, but she still clung to his clothes, burying her face in his chest. She was clearly terrified that Bai Yu would scold her, yet she stubbornly whispered something.

"No."

Hearing Su Rongxue's words that she wouldn't let him leave, Bai Yu was speechless. What did she mean by "don't want him anymore"?

"What do you mean you don't want me? I'm injured, and you not only don't blame me, but you also won't let me go back to the dorm?"

Bai Yu's words once again carried a hint of displeasure.

But Su Rongxue's next words touched him for a moment.

"You can't leave, if you... I won't be able to find you..."

Although Su Rongxue's words seemed somewhat naive, upon closer examination, their meaning was quite different.

Bai Yu didn't want to explain whether it was childish or not. Was she really going to never find it again after leaving?

You can definitely find him, since it's the same school, but you may never find his heart again.

Bai Yu knew that once she left, she would lose all her friends, and even if she saw Su Rongxue, she would probably pretend not to recognize her.

This wasn't because he was heartless, but because indecisiveness would only lead to trouble. He knew he was a soft-hearted person, and indecisiveness was definitely not an option.

But such determination seemed destined to be shattered by Su Rongxue's weak and pitiful appearance; this girl looked too endearing and aroused a desire to protect her.

Perhaps Bai Yu acted foolishly, or perhaps it stemmed from guilt towards this girl in her previous life.

For the first time ever, he went completely mad, actually reaching out to hug that weak and helpless delicate body, speaking in a tone so gentle it didn't sound like himself at all.

"You can't not find it. You're always so silly. If you can't find it, don't you know to call?"

Hearing the extremely gentle words beside her, Su Rongxue's grievances seemed to be indulged. She wrapped her arms around Bai Yu's waist and whispered something in her ear.

"Yes, we want to...be together forever..."

Bai Yu must have been out of her mind before, to do something so irrational.

But when she heard Su Rongxue say "forever together," an image of a silver-haired girl holding a wood-chopping knife and saying "forever together" instantly flashed into her mind.

Upon seeing this scene, Bai Yu instantly snapped out of her irrational state, and even broke out in a cold sweat.

Even Bai Yu couldn't handle it, so she quickly let go. But Su Rongxue looked incredibly cute curled up in her arms.

But such an angel is not someone Bai Yu can control; at least, he doesn't even have the courage to try right now.

Because if angels are not properly nurtured, they will turn into demons that turn on you, and no one can bear the cost of death. Bai Yu dared not try to approach the fear deep in his heart again.

"Alright, Su Rongxue, let's stick to being friends. Friends can hang out together all the time. I need to go back to my dorm now."

As he said this, Bai Yu prepared to get up, but Su Rongxue grabbed his arm and asked a question weakly.

Are we the kind of friends who are really good friends?

When Bai Yu heard Su Rongxue's words, perhaps he really wanted to leave as soon as possible, so he quickly nodded in agreement.

After all, a good friend is just a good friend, and even the best friend is just a close friend, so Bai Yu felt that it wouldn't have much of an impact.

Bai Yu was well aware that once someone refused to be friends with another person, those friends would likely drift apart over time.

But he misunderstood completely. Su Rongxue didn't mean that kind of friend; she meant a very good friend between a man and a woman.

Perhaps this girl isn't very good at expressing herself, and given that Bai Yu is only focused on running away, the misunderstanding is still in a state of mutual ignorance, and the danger will only get closer.

Upon hearing Bai Yu admit their relationship, Su Rongxue gently blew on Bai Yu's injured left hand and pleaded softly.

"Can we go to the infirmary?"

Even without Su Rongxue saying anything, Bai Yu naturally had to go to the infirmary. After all, her right hand was so swollen that her younger brother wouldn't feel safe at night if she didn't go to reduce the swelling.

However, Bai Yu no longer wants to be with Su Rongxue. This girl has actually developed romantic feelings for him, which is not a good thing.

"It's okay, you go back first, I'll go by myself in a bit."

Upon hearing this, Su Rongxue quickly shook her head and said stubbornly.

"No, I want to go with you..."

Bai Yu was also aware of the girl's stubborn personality.

Come on, I'll go with her then. Anyway, I'll have to be more vigilant about this girl after tonight. I actually let my guard down and hugged her just now. I was so careless.

I went to the infirmary, and before I knew it, it was 10:23 p.m.

As Bai Yu and Su Rongxue came out of the infirmary, his hands were now wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, making him look like a big pig's trotter.

At this moment, Bai Yu felt he had to go back quickly, but Su Rongxue tugged at his sleeve and asked shyly and softly.

"Could you... take me home?"

This was the first time Su Rongxue had proactively asked Bai Yu to take her home.

In the past, this girl wouldn't say anything if Bai Yu didn't give her a ride, but after her confession today, she's acting strangely. She's actually starting to want him to give her a ride, which isn't a good thing.

“I’m going back by myself. I’m a little sleepy. I need to go back and wash up before I go to sleep. You too, one knee is so dirty from kneeling on the ground. Go back and change your clothes quickly.”

As Bai Yu said this, she never considered that the friend who had agreed so readily was no ordinary friend.

"But...but everyone else gives them to me..."

A slightly aggrieved voice came from Su Rongxue's small mouth, which left Bai Yu speechless.

Is it because you're scared to go home alone so late at night?

"If you're scared, just follow the crowd. If you don't walk alone, you won't be scared. I went to the girls' dormitory and came back very late."

Su Rongxue's real intention was simply to spend more time with Bai Yu. If Bai Yu didn't have enough time either, then maybe next time.

After all, Su Rongxue also wanted to try what it felt like to be sent there by her boyfriend. Although Bai Yu had sent her there before, their statuses were different.

"Then...can it be next time?"

With that same soft and weak voice, Bai Yu nodded perfunctorily and said...

"Okay, let's talk about it next time we have time."

Chapter 241 Unequal Roles

After giving Su Rongxue a perfunctory reply, Bai Yu turned to leave, but at that moment Su Rongxue weakly called out to Bai Yu.

"White Rain..."

"Ok?"

As soon as Bai Yu turned around in response, she saw Su Rongxue diligently tiptoeing, her face flushed red. Suddenly, she lightly tapped her cheek, then turned and hurriedly ran away with her textbooks in her arms.

Although it was just a light touch, Bai Yu felt that Su Rongxue's behavior was excessive. Even if friends are very close, they shouldn't be so affectionate. Even if it was a confession, it was still wrong since she hadn't agreed. Moreover, this was considered sexual harassment.

In particular, never let friendship evolve into something like a male best friend, or cause any trouble.

Reaching out her left hand to touch her cheek, Bai Yu felt that Su Rongxue's mouth was really small; she could only feel a tiny bit of it on her face, confirming that it was too small to even open her mouth properly.

However, Bai Yu wasn't stupid. He realized that Su Rongxue's way of expressing herself didn't sound like that of a friend at all, but this girl was talking about becoming better friends, so he couldn't have misheard her.

Anyway, Bai Yu had made up her mind. No matter what kind of friend Su Rongxue was, she would never be soft-hearted again when she saw Su Rongxue, no matter what.
