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

But they were drawn to the commotion on the basketball court.

When she saw that the people involved in the conflict were Bai Yu and another group of strangers, she rushed over to stop them.

After all, it was clear from a distance that Bai Yu's side was at a complete disadvantage. How could one person possibly defeat eight people?

Moreover, if Bai Yu were to suffer any serious injury, it would be a great loss for me as well.

Ju Qing's appearance did not immediately separate Bai Yu and Ye Xingyan, who were wrestling.

However, the two were unwilling to separate, and soon bystanders forced them to separate.

"Damn it, come on!"

"Come on, I've said it before, whoever chickens out has their family photo on their ID card!"

Even if they were pulled apart, it couldn't stop their verbal attacks.

However, the arrival of Ju Qing, this short-haired mature woman, clearly wouldn't make things worse.

At least this brawl won't happen.

"Alright, all of you, stop arguing. And all of you who are just watching, hurry up and disperse, so as not to attract the teacher's attention later."

As he said this, Ju Qing gave a smile to the onlookers, a smile that made many of the boys too embarrassed to continue watching.

After all, it's a beautiful woman's smile, and guys subconsciously want to gain her favor, so they naturally give in to her.

Meanwhile, on the main road outside the basketball court, Xia Rong and another girl from their dormitory happened to pass by and witnessed the entire conflict between Bai Yu and Ye Xingyan inside the basketball court.

"Did Bai Yu offend someone?"

The girl next to Xia Rong asked her this question with some uncertainty.

Xia Rong nodded, put her hands on her hips, and said with great pleasure.

"Yeah, it seems so. That guy always acts all high and mighty. If it weren't for Xiaoxue, I would have punched him. He always thinks he's so cool. But it looks like it's a pity he was stopped. Otherwise, I could have watched him get beaten up a little longer."

As she said this, Xia Rong even brandished her fists a couple of times, as if she really wanted to beat Bai Yu up. (Chapter 341: Who Goes First Loses)

The fight that Ju Qing, the short-haired mature woman, had persuaded to stop naturally couldn't happen, but the conflict between Bai Yu and Ye Xingyan was clearly not so easy to resolve.

Although the conflict between them was a misunderstanding from the beginning, it required someone to clear up the misunderstanding, and clearly neither of them had any intention of explaining.

"Bai Yu, you just wait, don't let me see you again!"

After uttering a harsh remark, Ye Xingyan turned and stormed off.

Once he left, the people he brought with him would naturally follow. After all, what was the point of staying if the main person was gone? Once the social obligations are gone, the social obligations can no longer be fulfilled.

After Ye Xingyan and the others left, the basketball courts quickly returned to their previous bustling state, as if nothing had happened.

However, Ju Qing was very curious about what kind of conflict Bai Yu and Ye Xingyan had that led them to fight.

"Junior, what happened between you and that boy? How did you end up fighting?"

Hearing Ju Qing's words, Bai Yu was still a little angry about what had happened before, but she replied to Ju Qing's question in a calm tone.

"It was just a small matter. I didn't bother him, but that guy deliberately came to cause me trouble. Tsk."

As she said this, Bai Yu clicked her tongue in displeasure.

However, the meaning behind these words still did not reveal the reason for the conflict, which Ju Qing could tell was that Bai Yu did not want to say.

She said that a smart woman would never ask about things she doesn't want to talk about, at least not now.

"Oh, then you'll have to be more careful next time. This time it was on the playground, but who knows where it might be next time? What if you're surrounded by a few people all by yourself?"

Ju Qing's words were like a bell ringing in Bai Yu's ears.

If he and Ye Xingyan could fight in front of so many people, you can imagine how much they disliked each other. Plus, that guy is a rich second-generation, so he might actually try to trap him.

Bai Yu still doesn't know that the thugs who caused trouble outside the school last time were called by Ye Xingyan.

"Thank you for reminding me, senior. I have my own way."

As she said this, Bai Yu gave Ju Qing a grateful look.

This gaze caused a look of astonishment to appear on Ju Qing's pretty face.

Because Bai Yu's grateful look just now revealed a tenderness she had never shown before, which was truly rare for the usually aloof Bai Yu.

"How about... how about I introduce you to some friends? They should be able to help you."

Ju Qing had intended to say this from the beginning, because offering help in times of need is more likely to evoke gratitude than adding to someone's existing success.

However, she did not expect Bai Yu to give her such a gentle look, so her desire to help Bai Yu became even more sincere.

At that moment, Ju Qing had to admit that he was somewhat attracted by that look, but that did not affect his desire to flirt with Bai Yu in return.

"No need for you, senior. I really have a solution. It's just a small fry like Ye Xingyan. Luckily, I know someone who can solve this problem."

Bai Yu wasn't lying; among the people she knew were indeed second-generation rich kids, excluding those with her four ex-girlfriends.

When it comes to finding someone to fight, the best option is naturally to ask Qing Sisi's older brother, Qing Siling.

Although this guy annoyed Bai Yu a bit, he was usually very nice and friendly to her.

Of course, this also excludes the fact that this guy looks like a woman, which is too incongruous.

"Oh, well... if anything comes up, you can call me, or message me on WeChat, okay?"

Ju Qing spoke these words very gently, almost like an older sister caring for her younger brother.

Even Li Cheng, who was watching from the side, had begun to think that Ju Qing was not only beautiful, but also very considerate, and that she definitely liked Bai Yu.

But Bai Yu knew very well that if she thought that way, she would be close to becoming Ju Qing's complete sycophant.

If it were Li Cheng facing Ju Qing, he would easily become a self-righteous sycophant within a day.

Ju Qing never actively expresses her feelings for anyone; she only gives you the illusion that "I like you."

This illusion is the greatest and most fatal temptation, and most boys can't resist it.

Moreover, Ju Qing is taking the initiative to help Bai Yu this time, which is like sending charcoal in snowy weather. Wouldn't any boy be extremely moved?

Before his rebirth, Bai Yu might have been moved by Ju Qing's behavior, but after his rebirth, he knew very well what kind of woman Ju Qing was.

"Senior, is it really okay for you to be so gentle? What if I fall for you?"

As Bai Yu spoke softly, a smile flickered in Ju Qing's eyes as he looked at him.

She covered her mouth with her hand, gave Bai Yu a flirtatious glare, and chuckled.

"Hey junior, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? What's wrong with me being a little gentle with you? Is that not allowed? I'm your senior, can't I even show you some concern?"

That's really going too far. Not to mention others, even Bai Yu was genuinely charmed by Ju Qing's alluring expression and words.

As expected of Haihou Juqing, her flirting skills are so subtle and effective that anyone would think she likes them. But if you think about it carefully, she has never admitted to liking you from beginning to end. That's her tactic.

"Just kidding, but you're really gentler than I imagined, senior. You'll definitely be a good wife and mother in the future. I wonder who's so lucky to marry you!"

After saying that, Bai Yu gave Ju Qing a calm smile.

Bai Yu said these words intentionally. Ju Qing wanted to flirt with her, so why wouldn't she flirt back?

The meal ticket is a long-term commitment, so the ambiguity must be maintained. Ju Qing won't expose it, and naturally, neither will I.

Ambiguity is the most comfortable relationship. You don't need to worry about too much or care too much. You just need to think about being happy.

Therefore, the most comfortable relationship in many situations is one of ambiguity—a little too little is lacking, and a little too much is not good either.

"Hmph, you brat, you're getting better and better at talking every day. I'm ignoring you."

After saying that, Ju Qing turned around and walked towards the tennis court.

Looking at Ju Qing, who was wearing a tracksuit, the loose clothing still couldn't hide her hot figure.

"Bai Yu, that senior is really hot! Ugh, just one look from her makes me feel all energized. I think she definitely likes you. Why don't you... confess your feelings? That figure, those long legs, if it were me, I wouldn't even wash my feet."

Bai Yu gave Li Cheng the middle finger for saying that.

"You don't know anything. Whoever goes first loses. You're still too green."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Chapter 342 Confirmation

Bai Yu was in a bad mood in the morning because of Ye Xingyan's matter. After waiting for Ju Qing to leave, she played ball for a short while and then went back to her dormitory.

However, after finishing his lunch and adjusting his mindset, he returned to the basketball court once again.

Today, he and Li Cheng will not go online. Every now and then, they will choose a weekend or Saturday to play ball, and they will spend the whole day playing ball.

While Bai Yu was making substitutions during halftime, he took out his phone and saw that Su Rongxue had made seven or eight missed video calls.

"Why is this girl making so many video calls?"

Muttering these words to herself, Bai Yu got up and prepared to buy a bottle of water from the vending machine outside the basketball court, showing no intention of fighting back.

But at that moment, the video call connected again.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Yu did not choose not to answer. Seeing that Su Rongxue had made seven or eight video calls in a row, she guessed that something was wrong.

The moment he answered the phone, Su Rongxue's fair and delicate face appeared on the screen.

Judging from the girl's loose silver hair, with even a few tufts of hair sticking up, she probably just woke up from her afternoon nap.

"Bai Yu, are you alright?"

Looking at Bai Yu, who was covered in sweat on the screen, Su Rongxue asked anxiously.

"Huh? What do you want?"

Bai Yu was taken aback by Su Rongxue's question. Why was she asking if she was alright right away? What was wrong?

"It's about you getting into a fight..."

Seeing Bai Yu's furrowed brows and confused expression, Su Rongxue quickly explained.

"Oh, it's nothing. But how did you know I was fighting with someone?"

Bai Yu was very curious about how Su Rongxue knew about his fight with Ye Xingyan.
