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

Chapter 283 Laughing Like a Broken Coin (Bonus Chapter 6 for Donations)

Bai Yu had just hung up the phone and hadn't even had time to turn off her phone screen when she received another WeChat message.

This message wasn't sent by any of her four ex-girlfriends, but by Ju Qing.

The content was simple: he wanted to ask Bai Yu out on Saturday night, ostensibly to be her bodyguard that night.

The bodyguard was actually something Bai Yu herself said, meaning she would let Ju Qing treat her to a meal in exchange for being her bodyguard.

As it turned out, Bai Yu hadn't expected that Ju Qing would need his slacking-off bodyguard so soon.

"Okay, what time tomorrow, and where should we meet?"

Bai Yu did not directly reject Ju Qing, after all, he had indeed said some things, and there was no need to go back on his word.

Moreover, Ju Qing is a long-term meal ticket. Meal tickets need to be returned. If you only take in and don't give out, then who will play with you?

You have to give up something to gain something. If Bai Yu is unwilling to give up those weekend evenings, then she definitely won't get Ju Qing's meal tickets.

The message was sent, and Ju Qing replied very quickly.

"Meet me at the school gate tomorrow night at 6:30."

A concise and to-the-point statement, without any hesitation or beating around the bush.

This gave Bai Yu the impression that it didn't fit Ju Qing's personality.

Normally, wouldn't this girl try to seduce him or tease him a little? At least flirt with him a bit, right? Why is she being so direct?

Bai Yu had a lot on his mind, but Ju Qing was currently taking a shower in his dorm room, and it was already good enough that he replied to his message. There was no need for so many twists and turns; he was just overthinking things.

"Bai Yu, what are you looking at on your phone for? Focus on your game and come help me out. Stop shopping."

Bai Yu was still thinking about Ju Qing's invitation to go out when Li Cheng's disgruntled voice came through the phone.

Not playing the game properly and instead looking at your phone to reply to messages is strictly prohibited when playing with friends, and it's a scene that many guys don't like to see.

Bai Yu was naturally aware of this, since he didn't like doing other things during crucial moments of playing games.

So he quickly smiled, turned off his phone, and entered the game.

When Ju Qing invited her to hang out on Saturday, Bai Yu knew she couldn't just take advantage of the invitation this time.

After all, it's already a bit unreasonable to take advantage of someone for free once or twice without giving anything in return.

With this repeated instances of taking advantage of others for free, even if Ju Qing didn't doubt his character, it was bound to create a rift between them.

After all, the limit for getting something for free is three times, and Bai Yu has already reached that limit three times. This time, she is destined to have to pay to reciprocate.

Of course, when it comes to spending money, the first thing to consider is how much. A couple hundred or so is definitely fine, but if it's a couple thousand... then you'll lose a lot of money.

Although Ju Qing never said that Bai Yu should treat everyone this time, or even mentioned it, Bai Yu still had to set an example.

At the very least, I should treat Ju Qing to a meal and some drinks; it's only right to reciprocate.

Of course, Bai Yu, who was currently engrossed in playing games, didn't want to think about this issue in detail. After all, it was a matter for tomorrow, and there would be plenty of time to think about it while she was sleeping at night.

In interpersonal relationships, if you want to take the relationship to the next level, there is nothing better than taking the initiative to treat someone to a meal.

Just ask yourself, if you were offered a meal by someone, what would your impression of them be? Not exactly fantastic, but certainly not bad.

As the saying goes, talking a thousand times is not as good as meeting in person. That means that no matter how much you talk, it's not as good as meeting in person.

Inviting someone to dinner has this intention: it's a way to build goodwill.

After finishing her online session that evening, Bai Yu lay in bed and began to think about this problem.

All he can think about now is treating everyone to a meal, and he'll even take the initiative to treat Ju Qing to a meal tomorrow.

For the long term, this is an essential step, one that must be taken sooner or later.

Besides, Bai Yu had already promised Ju Qing that she would treat her to a meal, so why not sit down tomorrow?

One is to invite guests, and the other is to reciprocate the courtesy. Moreover, Ju Qing took the initiative to invite them. If I then take the initiative to invite them back, wouldn't my goodwill double?

As for tricks, Bai Yu has a lot of tricks up her sleeve, but after her rebirth, she can only use them on Ju Qing.

He wouldn't dare use his other four ex-girlfriends at all, after all, he had failed before, and the price of death... those weren't even prices anymore, he simply couldn't bear them.

As long as you don't give up, there's always a way to overcome difficulties. Once Bai Yu has figured out a solution, she can finally sleep peacefully.

The next day was Saturday. Bai Yu, Li Cheng, and the other two slept in until noon.

I get up and eat breakfast, then spend the afternoon online. My life is incredibly decadent.

On Saturday of this week, Bai Yu received some very good news: Murong Liyue had left the province.

That means they've left the city and the northern part of the city. Although they don't know the specifics of what happened, their whole family will be gone for several days before they can return.

What news could please Bai Yu more than being disturbed by Murong Liyue?

During weekends, what Bai Yu fears most is not Su Rongxue, Si Yu, and Qing Sisi, but Murong Liyue's uninvited arrival.

Since he had the weekend off, Murong Liyue would naturally have the weekend off too.

The probability of Miss Murong not bothering her on the weekend is very low. Bai Yu has already calculated that if she doesn't have something to do, she will definitely contact her.

But this time, the girl left the city, and Bai Yu was in an incredibly wonderful mood.

Moreover, the scene from Monday night was still vivid in Bai Yu's mind; she could hardly forget the sickly Murong Liyue.

That appearance was indeed very alluring, so alluring that one wanted to rush to one's death, but to Bai Yu it was so unsettling.

As for why Bai Yu knew that Murong Liyue had left Beicheng, it must have been that the girl herself told Bai Yu.

If Murong Liyue hadn't told him herself, given Bai Yu's information network—he didn't want to have much contact with his four ex-girlfriends—there would have been no way he would have known.

Of course, Bai Yu had also considered the possibility that Murong Liyue might have set a trap for him, and that the girl had never actually left Beicheng and was just lying to him.

But after thinking it over, it doesn't really matter whether I lie or not, since I haven't done anything wrong anyway.

"Today is a good day; all good things will come true!"

Even while playing games, Bai Yu couldn't help but hum a few lines of "Good Days," which speaks volumes about her mood.

Bai Yu knew last week that Su Rongxue was going to the library to read books this weekend.

Therefore, he now exudes an aura of freedom.

That is the joy of having one's desire for freedom fulfilled and fully enjoyed.

Even Li Cheng and his two companions couldn't help but glance at Bai Yu a couple more times when they saw her in such a cheerful mood. She was definitely different from usual, and her smile was even more ridiculous. Chapter 284 The First Step (Donation +7)

Bai Yu would stay online until 6 p.m., and then at 6:30 p.m., she would go to the school gate to wait for Ju Qing.

This time, he didn't make Ju Qing wait for him; instead, he was very punctual and waited for her at the school gate.

Since Bai Yu came with a plan, if you want to double your favorability, you have to change your attitude first.

At the very least, you have to be punctual. That's the bare minimum. You can wait a little longer, but you absolutely cannot make a girl wait for you.

Of course, this is on the premise that you want to build rapport. If you don't want that much rapport, or if you are already very familiar with each other, then there is no need to care so much, unless the other person is very punctual.

Standing at the school gate, Bai Yu didn't actually have to wait long; Ju Qing arrived in about ten minutes.

The girl walked out of the school gate with light steps, and seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

Today, this girl is wearing a black jacket with a suspender dress, a small black bag around her waist, and her short hair falls naturally to her waist. A pair of crystal pendants sway gently under her small earlobes, giving her a youthful and beautiful look, sexy yet with a touch of innocence.

Of course, Bai Yu quickly ignored this naive feeling.

The only word you can't use to describe Ju Qing is "naive." Anyone can be naive, but this girl is impossible to be.

Besides Ju Qing, there was a boy and a girl who came with her; she wasn't alone.

The man appeared to be about 1.75 meters tall, wearing canvas shoes, capri pants, and a black and white cloth top.

Why is this described as black and white cloth? Because Bai Yu doesn't know what this kind of black and white, slightly loose, and uneven clothing is called. It looks like a piece of black and white cloth sewn together.

Of course, this is just a style of dressing, and there's nothing wrong with it.

Overall, while this boy might not be considered handsome, he was fairly clean and tidy, and had a very energetic appearance.

There's a saying that goes something like this: many guys aren't ugly, they just don't like to dress up. If they dressed up, many guys would be quite handsome.

Someone like Bai Yu, who is handsome effortlessly, is a natural talent. It's something you're born with, there's nothing you can do about it, just like you readers.

As for the girl holding the boy's wrist, she was quite pretty, with flaxen wavy hair and wearing the same clothes as Ju Qing. It seemed that the two had a good relationship, otherwise they wouldn't be dressed like that.

However, compared to Ju Qing, this girl is still a level below in terms of looks.

After all, Ju Qing might not be considered the school beauty, but she was definitely at the department beauty level. Her looks were absolutely top-notch, and there were very few girls in the entire Beicheng University who could compare to Ju Qing, the queen of the sea.

"Senior, are these two your friends?"

When Bai Yu saw Ju Qing come out of the school, she took the initiative to ask him this question. Her tone was as indifferent as ever, and she did not smile or show friendliness because she did not know him.

Ju Qing was used to Bai Yu's question and indifferent attitude, and nodded with a smile in response.

"Yes, this is my best friend, you can also call her senior. This is my best friend's boyfriend, his name is Long Yonghua, he's a sophomore, you can also call him senior."

Bai Yu simply nodded to the two of them in response to Ju Qing's somewhat official introduction.

Why didn't Bai Yu greet him with a smile or take the initiative to say hello?

There's no need, really no need. Bai Yu knows who she'll have contact with and who she won't.

For example, as Ju Qing mentioned, these two people will never meet again after going out together this time; this is an inevitable phenomenon.

Even if Ju Qing wanted to stay with them, Bai Yu wouldn't go anymore.

After all, Bai Yu came with a plan and a purpose this time. If he doesn't have a plan and a purpose next time, there's absolutely no need for him to come, and he will refuse outright.

Of course, there is an even more important reason, which is that Bai Yu is used to being a bit aloof to strangers, it really is a habit.

After all, they've maintained a cool and aloof personality for over half a year. They say a good habit takes three months to form, so a cool and aloof habit would have been established long ago.

When Long Yonghua and Ju Qing's best friend saw Bai Yu nod to them, they couldn't help but feel that he was a bit aloof, and their liking for him dropped a little.

However, Ju Qing is a very perceptive person, and she naturally knows what kind of personality Bai Yu has. When she first met Bai Yu, she was quite annoyed by his bluntness.

It feels like just yesterday that this guy said she had phlegm in her throat when she spoke, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

"Bai Yu, a freshman, he's always been aloof and cold, that's just his personality, so please don't mind him, okay?"
