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

Murong Liyue has always had a very good temper, a fact known to everyone in the family except for Murong Meng, her mother.

But her sudden outburst of temper startled Murong Chun. Her younger sister had never lost her temper with her more than twice before. What was going on?

Little did she know that Murong Chun's words reminded Murong Liyue of the girl who was with Bai Yu last time, namely Su Rongxue.

Bai Yu said he likes cute girls, so... wasn't that girl very well-behaved and cute that day?

Originally, no one wanted to care about Bai Yu telling Murong Chun that he had a girl he liked.

However, what Murong Chun said next made her pay attention, and the more she thought about it, the more agitated she became, with the illusion that the person she had placed her hopes in was about to abandon her.

After closing the bathroom door, Murong Liyue stood in front of the bathroom glass. Her mind was in turmoil, and she found it difficult to calm down.

She felt she needed to ask Bai Yu herself to see if it was true.

Clutching her chest, which was filled with turmoil and restlessness, Murong Liyue lowered her head, her long hair slipping down to cover her cheeks, and murmured to herself.

"You can only have me, and I can only have you. If it really comes to that... I'll lock you up. At worst, we'll be together forever..."

These words were completely unlike Murong Liyue's usual demeanor; it could be said that she herself was somewhat unable to control her chaotic state of mind at this moment.

P.S.: It's almost the end of the month, so you can cast your votes now. Why not give them to me instead? (laughs?)

Chapter 266 Analysis Barely Correct

Turning my gaze back to Bai Yu—

It was morning, not long before nine o'clock, and Bai Yu, along with Li Cheng, Wen Chiqi, and Feng Zhou, walked triumphantly out of the school.

When good things happen, one is in high spirits; today, Sunday, I must go online.

The thought of being able to get up early on a weekend morning and go online is a feeling that can only be described as indescribable; it's just awesome.

It was only at times like these that Bai Yu could completely forget her current troubles and exhaustion.

Everyone needs to relax from time to time to recover from the mental and physical stress, especially college students, who are a relatively free group and want to relax anytime, anywhere.

Once you enter an internet cafe, the happy time spent surfing the internet in the morning actually passes very quickly. After all, as long as you are a person, if you get too deeply involved in something, it is easy to lose track of time.

It wasn't until 1:32 PM that Bai Yu, Li Cheng, and the other two realized they were hungry and weak, and that they still needed to eat, as they were mortals and had not yet reached the fasting period.

"Damn, time to eat! It's already 1:30. Let's go grab some food and keep working hard this afternoon. Let's go!"

Bai Yu took out her phone and showed it to Li Cheng and the other two, mainly to remind them of the time and to set an example.

Li Cheng and his two companions were practically inseparable from Bai Yu, and since they hadn't eaten breakfast that morning, they were starving.

"Let's go, we're really hungry."

"What do you want to eat? Rice or noodles?"

"Let's eat. I'm getting tired of eating noodles all the time lately."

As they said this, they got up and disembarked one by one, and began to discuss what to eat later.

The four of them waited until they arrived at a restaurant near the internet cafe. Although they had missed lunchtime, there were still many college students eating at 1:30 p.m. because it was the weekend.

Bai Yu had been to every single restaurant near the school, and he knew exactly which ones were good and which were bad.

I walked into a restaurant that I didn't frequent, but I had been there once or twice before. The restaurant was obviously newly renovated, indicating that it had only been open for a short time.

Bai Yu thought this place was pretty good, and all four of them ordered a fried rice as soon as they came in.

But just as Bai Yu was sitting and waiting for his meal, he took out his phone to play with it when he received a WeChat message from Su Rongxue.

"Bai Yu, are you free this afternoon?"

While waiting for their food, most people these days are on their phones, and Bai Yu is no exception, so he can see Su Rongxue's message as soon as she sends it.

However, in response to the girl's question, Bai Yu said that she would definitely be free in the afternoon, since she was thinking of going online.

However, he absolutely did not have time to answer Su Rongxue's question. After all, this girl no longer treated him as a friend. Compared to before, he was much more wary of her now.

However, Bai Yu did not reply to the message immediately. After all, if she said she was busy, she couldn't make it seem like she was always on her phone. At least, it couldn't be a coincidence.

After waiting for about three or four minutes, Bai Yu slowly replied to the message.

"I have something to do this afternoon, so I'm not free."

Bai Yu refused decisively, which is typical of him. He wouldn't hesitate or soften his heart just because Su Rongxue seems well-behaved and cute.

Meanwhile, Su Rongxue was sitting on the hanging chair in her dormitory, which was a net hanging chair on both sides of the headboard. Like a swing, she lifted her little feet and swung back and forth, looking like a little child.

But when she saw that Bai Yu's message to her was that she was busy, the smile on her face faltered slightly, and a look of disappointment flashed across her face.

However, this girl wasn't one to give up easily. She picked up her phone, thought about how best to reply, and then sent another message back.

"I want to find a new club this afternoon. I left the last club, and if I don't find a new one, I'll lose a few points on my final exam... so I wanted to ask for your opinion."

Su Rongxue put it rather tactfully, but what she really wanted was for Bai Yu to accompany her to find a new club, so she could spend the weekend with Bai Yu.

Unfortunately, Bai Yu said she was busy, so she had to keep her feelings a secret. She wouldn't be capricious with Bai Yu during this "trainee girlfriend" period.

Bai Yu didn't care at all when she saw the message. Quitting the literature club was actually a good thing for Su Rongxue, who liked to read quietly, so as to avoid being disturbed by the boys in that club.

But sometimes people are just awkward; there are things Bai Yu really doesn't want to think about, but she still thinks about them.

That is because Su Rongxue is a well-behaved girl, and she is so cute and adorable. She would definitely be wanted by any club she joins. Even if she is just a decoration, she is still a face of the club.

However, Bai Yu was a little uneasy about the fact that no club would refuse her.

Human nature is treacherous. Although Su Rongxue is indeed frightening when she turns evil, she is actually a naive and innocent girl who is not very worldly. If she goes to find him on her own, she will suffer a loss.

Of course, Bai Yu thought this way, but his distrust didn't necessarily mean he would accompany Su Rongxue to search for her.

After all, there are other girls in Su Rongxue's dormitory, such as Xia Rong, who is very close to her, who can go with her.

It sounds like a long story, but actually these thoughts only happened in an instant. Bai Yu picked up her phone, opened the chat box, and started typing a reply with her hands flying across the keyboard.

"It depends on your own preferences. If you like it, you can join. If you don't, there's no need. There's no point in forcing yourself to join a club. If possible, you can have Xia Rong accompany you."

This was the first time Bai Yu had ever sent so many messages to Su Rongxue.

However, Su Rongxue preferred to analyze these words.

Why is it that girls and boys in love are the same—they both like to analyze the messages their crushes send them?

Su Rongxue read this message more than once or twice. The first time, she thought it was nothing special, just some suggestions.

But the second time she read it, she felt that such a long sentence was not in line with Bai Yu's taciturn nature, and it was inevitable that she would think of her as someone who cared about her.

Thinking of those who cared about her, Su Rongxue recalled the scene of Bai Yu hugging her in the stairwell after evening self-study that day.

It was warm and comfortable. Every time Su Rongxue thought about it, she felt nostalgic and always wanted to try it again. At least she should snuggle up to Bai Yu and feel it more, and listen to Bai Yu's heartbeat more.

As she thought about it, a blush involuntarily appeared on Su Rongxue's fair and delicate face. Chapter 267 These are two extremes (Bonus chapter for monthly votes)

Despite blushing and her heart racing, Su Rongxue didn't slow down her reply to messages.

"Xia Rong went to a club activity today and wasn't in the dorm. My other two roommates weren't there either, so I was all alone."

Su Rongxue's words didn't actually have any other meaning; she was just stating that she was all alone.

But it's different with Bai Yu. This made him think about Su Rongxue going alone. She's a timid girl, would she be willing to speak up?

Bai Yu didn't think Su Rongxue had a severe case of social anxiety disorder, but she definitely did, and it wasn't mild.

After all, this girl always lacked the ability to express herself and wasn't good at saying no. The more Bai Yu thought about it, the more worried she became.

"Then you can have Xia Rong accompany you next time, there's no need to go today."

Although Bai Yu couldn't help but feel worried about Su Rongxue, she wouldn't actively ask to accompany her.

At least Su Rongxue can't go today, but Xia Rong can go with her next time, right?

But Su Rongxue just wanted to go today. She had nothing to do in the afternoon, and if she didn't go now, she wouldn't have much free time anyway. She was planning to go to the library next week.

"But I'm only free this afternoon. I need to go to the library to borrow and read books next week, so I'm asking for your opinion..."

Su Rongxue was telling the truth, and she didn't intend to force Bai Yu to come along.

After all, everyone has busy times. Bai Yu had something to do, although she didn't say what it was, but she didn't want to bother Bai Yu because of her busy schedule.

At least she wouldn't trouble others like that, especially someone she cares about.

Su Rongxue's mind is simple and her thoughts are always pure, but Bai Yu is different.

At times like these, the more complex a person's thoughts are, the more ideas they have. Even though Su Rongxue clearly had no intention of intervening, Bai Yu still felt uneasy.

I didn't want to go to any clubs with Su Rongxue, and I wanted to avoid having too much contact with her.

But the problem was that the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. Then he thought of Su Rongxue standing behind him, raising her cute little face and tugging at his clothes to hide. That was the kind of girl who could put people at ease.

"grass."

After taking a bite of rice, Bai Yu muttered a curse to himself. He clearly didn't want to go, but he just couldn't put his mind at ease. He himself felt that he was a really contradictory person.

To put it bluntly, Bai Yu was mainly worried that Su Rongxue would join the same kind of arts and literature club as last time. Once there are boys and girls involved, there will inevitably be times when they take a liking to each other.

Moreover, Su Rongxue is so cute and well-behaved, and she is gentle and delicate. She is the kind of girl who is so soft that you would want to protect her with all your might.

Which guy wouldn't like a sweet and gentle girl like that? But unfortunately, this girl isn't good at socializing, which is dangerous; I'm afraid she might be taken advantage of.

"Bai Yu, why are you swearing and cursing while eating? Don't mess things up for us later."

"Yeah, I always feel like you're a bit of a pervert, always messing around with other guys."

"I think Bai Ge might have been spotted by some girl again. After all, he's the top male prostitute in our dorm, so he must have slept with a lot."

Damn it, just because Bai Yu muttered a curse to himself, Li Cheng and the other two started saying inappropriate things again.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. You three are really just a bunch of stinking bastards. I just realized this afternoon that I had some things to do and couldn't go online with you guys, so I'm just feeling really annoyed."

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Li Cheng and the other two paused in their eating.

"Damn, what could possibly happen this afternoon? It's the weekend, so I should be free, right?"

"Yeah, what's the big deal?"

"Can something as important as going online be tripped up by trivial matters like personal relationships?"

It's so frustrating that we finally managed to get everyone together in the dorm to use the internet, and now Bai Yu suddenly says she's leaving. Isn't that just a downer?
