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

"Don't give me any more food, I don't want to eat anymore. If you want to eat, you can eat it yourself."

When Bai Yu saw Su Rongxue extend her delicate white hand to offer him a small bag of potato chips, he immediately refused.

He discovered that the girl's little backpack was like a treasure trove, with so many snacks inside.

"You don't want it anymore? Or... should I save it for you?"

A timid voice echoed in Bai Yu's ears. This girl's voice always made people want to protect her, no matter when they heard it.

"No need, you can eat it yourself. I don't like snacks."

It's a lie that Bai Yu doesn't like snacks; the truth is that she doesn't want to accept Su Rongxue's naive kindness.

The main reason was that he felt he would eventually lose control and break down. Once Su Rongxue broke down his defenses, what if he wasn't careful and blurted out "Let's date"? That would be the end of him.

Once such words are spoken, it's difficult to guarantee one's safety if one tries to take them back.

Su Rongxue found Bai Yu's words a bit unbelievable. After all, she thought snacks were the most delicious thing and she liked them very much. Why wouldn't Bai Yu like them?

"You don't like snacks, so... what do you like?"

Su Rongxue's question caused Bai Yu to unconsciously make a serious slip of the tongue.

"I like you... no way, I just don't like eating so many snacks."

As soon as the first part of these words came out, Bai Yu reacted quickly and corrected them.

But hearing these words made Su Rongxue's little heart pound uncontrollably.

Although it sounded like Bai Yu's slip of the tongue, Su Rongxue preferred to believe that it was Bai Yu's true feelings that she had accidentally said.

"I...I like you..."

A voice, so faint that only Bai Yu could hear, came from Su Rongxue's cherry-like lips, sounding both shy and resolute. Chapter 252: A Feeling That She Wanted to Ignore (Bonus Chapter)

Bai Yu was actually very afraid to hear Su Rongxue's bold words, because he really couldn't bear such affection, nor did he dare to.

"Before you fully understand each other, all expressions of affection are insincere, and what you say all the time is the cheapest."

Bai Yu's words made perfect sense and seemed flawless, but Su Rongxue was still taken aback by them.

Because she had never been in a relationship and had no experience whatsoever, she even doubted herself after hearing Bai Yu's words.

"Does saying 'I like you' mean it? Doesn't that mean I really like you?"

Su Rongxue would still humbly seek guidance on things she didn't understand.

Bai Yu ignored the girl's requests for advice. This was how he had been trying to fool Su Rongxue. It sounded reasonable and it was indeed reasonable, but it wasn't absolute.

"When you truly understand someone and can confidently say 'I like you' without any pressure, that's when you truly like them."

To be honest, Bai Yu has always been an expert. After all, if a scumbag doesn't know any reason, can he still be considered a scumbag?

Moreover, he was also exceptionally good at conning Su Rongxue.

Besides, Su Rongxue is really the easiest to fool, isn't she?

After Bai Yu said that, Su Rongxue didn't have any further communication with him.

Su Rongxue didn't say a word to Bai Yu until the end of evening self-study.

Bai Yu thought this was a good thing, but Su Rongxue didn't want to talk to Bai Yu. However, she took Bai Yu's words to heart and decided that she would never say "I like you" again.

She thought about it all evening and didn't feel like she was going against her heart. At least now she felt really safe and happy when she was with Bai Yu, and she felt that she couldn't be wrong, right?

Back in her dorm, Bai Yu's day went relatively smoothly.

However, the next morning was Black Wednesday, another full day of classes, which was incredibly busy and stressful.

Furthermore, evening self-study sessions were changed to attending lectures by professors in the academic lecture hall, making this day even darker than Black Monday.

Because her right hand was still not fully healed, Bai Yu took much longer to wash up than usual when she got up early in the morning, so she naturally got up earlier than Li Cheng and the other two.

This morning, Su Rongxue didn't bring breakfast for Bai Yu again, but she knew that Bai Yu definitely hadn't eaten breakfast, so she brought him milk and bread. During morning self-study, she obediently sat in the back row where Bai Yu usually sat and waited for him to arrive.

When the girl saw Bai Yu arrive at the classroom, she immediately took out the breakfast she had prepared for him.

If Bai Yu doesn't accept Su Rongxue's advances, the girl's stubborn temper will flare up and she'll insist on giving them to her.

But if I accept the offer, there's a certain strange feeling mixed in with the rest of the class.

However, Bai Yu also believed that he was upright and had nothing to fear. So what if he took it? He could just pay the money.

Bai Yu took the box of milk and bread that Su Rongxue handed him and immediately transferred 20 yuan to her on his phone.

This way, it wouldn't be a case of "payment for goods," but rather a transaction where money is exchanged for goods. Bai Yu felt less pressured and avoided receiving any benefits from Su Rongxue for no reason.

Su Rongxue seemed a little dissatisfied with Bai Yu's transfer. Not only did she return the money, but she also turned to Bai Yu and spoke to her in a soft, angry tone for the first time.

"You...you can't do this..."

???

Hearing Su Rongxue's angry but inexplicable words, Bai Yu didn't quite understand what she meant.

"I can't do anything. You give me breakfast, I'll give you money, we're even, right? Is there a problem? No problem, right?"

Bai Yu's words were indeed correct, but for Su Rongxue, they were the biggest problem.

Because she wanted to be good to Bai Yu, not to get his money or anything else from him.

Bai Yu giving her money implies that she doesn't want to accept her kindness, which makes it difficult for her to maintain the status of an intern girlfriend.

"There's a problem. You can't take money for the breakfast I gave you. You have to...remember that..."

Su Rongxue couldn't bring herself to speak firmly to Bai Yu. She wanted to tell Bai Yu to remember this, but her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke.

Bai Yu didn't even hear what Su Rongxue said next, but she heard that it was free. How could Bai Yu possibly accept that?

"Impossible. Your things are your things, and mine are mine. If you want to give me your things, then I can only exchange them with you like this. I've already said that our best relationship is that of friends. Friends can't just take without giving back."

Su Rongxue didn't think there was no reason why this was not true, but she didn't like to hear it, especially the word "friend".

She's willing to give to Bai Yu, willing to give up everything for Bai Yu, isn't that enough?

Of course, it's impossible to have no expectations at all.

What she wanted wasn't Bai Yu's possessions, but rather Bai Yu's willingness to express his feelings for her and his desire to be with her.

Although falling in love with someone is indeed peculiar and doesn't require many reasons, Su Rongxue had an inexplicable fondness for Bai Yu from the very first time they met.

She wasn't quite sure why she felt this way. At first, the feeling was faint, but the more time they spent together, the stronger it became. Now, it seemed that her feelings for Bai Yu went beyond just liking him.

After a day of classes, there was still a lecture in the evening. Bai Yuguo was a bit tired, but at least he no longer focused on sleeping during class.

However, as long as there are no four ex-girlfriends to bother him, it's still pretty good.

As for Su Rongxue, Bai Yu made it clear to her that it's best to be friends and that they can talk about anything after graduation.

Delay tactics are also a strategic means. Taking a step back may seem like a retreat, but isn't it also a form of offense?

Graduation? That's still a few years away, it's a long way off. Who knows if Su Rongxue will even be able to live to see that day?

After all, feelings between people are not static; a few years is enough for someone to develop feelings for many people.

Who knows if Su Rongxue will still be the same in a few years? Right?

Therefore, Bai Yu didn't care much about Su Rongxue's change in attitude towards him. As long as he rejected all her kindness, she would eventually lose patience.

Humans have limited patience. When Su Rongxue suddenly realized that continuing to persist would be fruitless, she naturally chose to give up.

Bai Yu always tends to overlook Su Rongxue's abnormality. If she can turn so dark that she kills the person she loves most, would she easily change her mind?

Chapter 253 Even the aloof can have a tender side.

Evening self-study sessions were replaced with lectures, and students had to bring their own stools from their dorm rooms to the lecture hall to listen.

The attendees weren't just from the first-year students; second- and third-year students were also welcome to come and listen.

However, to be honest, Bai Yu doesn't think these lectures arranged by the school are without merit, but the merits are really not very useful. They may make you feel excited for a moment and give you endless hope for the future.

Ultimately, people start from different points in the beginning, and the passion you feel is only fleeting. How you walk your own path depends entirely on your own abilities and opportunities.

Bai Yu knew that he didn't have any of the Dali ideals of loyalty to the country, but he also absolutely didn't have any thoughts of betrayal.

What an ordinary person should understand most is not how great they can become, but what they are capable of doing with their current abilities.

Bai Yu quietly left the academic lecture hall after listening to the lectures for only a short time. For someone who had experienced life and death, the lectures had little effect on him.

But just as he stepped out of the lecture hall to go to the restroom, it was both a coincidence and an inconvenient coincidence, because Bai Yu ran into Murong Liyue before he even reached the men's restroom.

This girl looked like she had just come from the direction of the club. Her white Hanfu made her look like a fairy in the clouds, and she was a beautiful sight to behold.

Once Murong Liyue sees Bai Yu, Bai Yu will definitely not be able to escape so easily.

Moreover, Bai Yu's right hand is currently wrapped in gauze. How could Miss Murong Liyue not ask why?

What happened to your hand?

There was no way to avoid her, and there was nowhere to hide here, so Bai Yu had no choice but to face this girl head-on.

Looking up at Murong Liyue, who was dressed in a white Hanfu and whose long blue hair was tied up with a hairpin, he glanced at her and then casually made up an excuse to explain.

"I tripped and fell, but it's nothing serious."

Bai Yu's words did not arouse Murong Liyue's suspicion. After all, who would have thought that the real reason was that he was tackled by Su Rongxue?

"Since it's such an accident, I'll go with you to the hospital outside the school to get it checked out."

As she said this, Murong Liyue remained unchanged, giving Bai Yu no chance to refuse, and reached out to pull him away.

But how could Bai Yu possibly leave? This girl is too capricious!

"Hey, hey, club president, I'm still in a lecture, how can I just leave the school like that?"

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Murong Liyue glanced at him coldly and asked indifferently.

"There's no need to listen. You just said you're willing. Do you really need so many words of encouragement?"

Good heavens, Murong Liyue's one sentence completely ruined the image of the professor's noble lecture.

What does it mean to say "I'm willing" and then not need so many words of encouragement? Am I that kind of person?
