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

As soon as she stepped into the clubhouse, Murong Liyue's eyes met those of the student council president.

Today, Murong Liyue wore a long black trench coat, black trousers, and black high heels, exuding a mature and sophisticated aura.

"Did you need something from me?"

As the student council president was sizing up Murong Liyue, Murong Liyue's cool voice rang out.

"Um, I need to talk to you about something. I was wondering if I could borrow you for a few minutes?"

Chapter 347 Oh ho (Bonus Chapter 13 for Emperor Yan's Reward)

Murong Liyue was quite surprised that the student council president came to find her.

Because when she first entered Beicheng University as a freshman, the student council president—oh no, at that time he wasn't the student council president, he was just a member of the student council.

He confessed his feelings to her back then, but unfortunately Murong Liyue didn't hesitate for a second and rejected him outright. From then on, she rarely saw the student council president in her sight.

I never expected that he would come to find me in person after two years. I wonder what could have made him, who had been hiding from me, dare to come out.

After bypassing the student council president, Murong Liyue sat down in her boss's chair before calmly replying.

"Just say what's on your mind."

Hearing Murong Liyue's consistently aloof words, the student council president couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

Perhaps he, as the student council president, has a certain say in front of all other clubs, but he is nothing when facing Murong Liyue.

The rejection of his confession in his freshman year was a huge blow to him, so he rationally decided to climb the social ladder and eventually succeeded, becoming the student council president.

But after climbing up, he learned more. He only knew before that Murong Liyue came from a well-off family, probably about the same as himself.

But I later realized that they weren't just similar, they were worlds apart.

His family background was indeed quite good compared to ordinary people, even luxurious, but compared to Murong Liyue, it was like the difference between a hill and the Himalayas.

However, this did not make the student council president give up. Although he had become somewhat timid towards Murong Liyue after being rejected, he rarely appeared in Murong Liyue's sight.

But this time he needs to face Murong Liyue and his own heart, because Bai Yu, a freshman, brings him a sense of crisis and urgency.

"Murong Liyue, I won't waste any more words. Actually, I came here to tell you... stay away from Bai Yu."

Murong Liyue, who was tidying up the needles and thread on her sewing machine with her head down, paused when she heard the student council president's words. The next moment, she frowned slightly and looked at him with a strange look.

"What do you mean?"

Their eyes met, and the student council president immediately realized that Murong Liyue had misunderstood him, so he quickly explained.

"My sexual orientation is normal, you...you must know that. What I mean is that you should keep some distance from Bai Yu, because..."

"What's it to you?"

Before the student council president could finish speaking, Murong Liyue coldly retorted with a question.

Stopping her needlework, Murong Liyue crossed her arms, slightly raised her head, leaned back in her chair, and tapped her long legs, giving the student council president a disdainful look.

The cold words and disdainful look made the student council president's warm smile freeze slightly, and he quickly tried to salvage the situation.

"These are things I talked about with Bai Yu when we were alone last time. He actually asked me to tell you to stay away from him. He said it himself and asked me to tell you!"

After he finished speaking, the student council president kept his eyes fixed on Murong Liyue's changing expressions, as if trying to figure something out.

Unfortunately, Murong Liyue had no expression at all; all she had was that unchanging, contemptuous look in her eyes.

"Are you finished?"

The cool, unchanging words came from her slightly parted cherry lips, which made the student council president feel a little disappointed.

He's not actually the Teletubby that Bai Yu seems to be. How could someone who can become the student council president be so stupid?

He had only deliberately created the impression that Bai Yu was a bit silly from the beginning, just to make Bai Yu lower her guard and not regard him as a worthy enemy or rival in love.

Little did he know that Bai Yu had no feelings for Murong Liyue at all, let alone a love rival; in fact, he was hoping someone would win over Murong Liyue.

The reason he came to Murong Liyue today and bluntly told her to stay away from Bai Yu was also for a purpose: to see what Murong Liyue's attitude was towards Bai Yu.

He was clearly disappointed, because Murong Liyue's expression and eyes remained completely unmoved; she was still aloof, as if nothing could arouse her interest.

“It’s alright, but I think you should still stay away from Bai Yu. There are actually a lot of people who like you, and getting closer will only cause him trouble. Besides... he really isn’t right for you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the student council president turned and left quickly, as if he was afraid that Murong Liyue would make some sarcastic remarks.

Watching the student council president walk away quickly, Murong Liyue's expression remained unchanged, showing no emotion whatsoever.

What the student council president said was indeed true, but what did that have to do with Murong Liyue? It was enough that she liked Bai Yu; did it matter whether it was suitable or not? What was that anyway?

However, Murong Liyue was somewhat bothered by Bai Yu's earlier comment about her staying away from him. After all, Bai Yu had tried to push her away last time, and it wasn't right for him to say something like that...

After pursing her cherry-red lips, Murong Liyue hesitated for a moment before taking out her phone and sending a message to Bai Yu.

Do you hate me?

This message was destined to receive no reply in a short time, because Bai Yu was currently fast asleep.

Murong Liyue is an impatient person, and it is especially difficult for her when she doesn't get a quick response to Bai Yu's messages.

After receiving no response for a minute, Murong Liyue started making phone calls.

Thankfully, Bai Yu didn't put his phone on silent this time, otherwise who knows if Murong Liyue would have come to his dorm again?

Bai Yu, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by her phone ringing. She groggily reached under her pillow for her phone, opened her eyes, and saw that it was Murong Liyue calling, so she answered it.

"Hey."

A sleepy voice came from the phone. Murong Liyue looked up at the club, but Lu Huaiyu, who had been there before, had left at some point.

Do you hate me?

A cold, emotionless voice came through the phone. Perhaps Bai Yu had stayed up all night and her mind wasn't working well, or perhaps her memories from her previous life were mixed up and she was bringing the timeline of her relationship with Murong Liyue into the present. She replied subconsciously.

"I'm too busy liking you to bother with hating you."

pop~

The sound of a phone hitting the ground served as a wake-up call for Bai Yu, instantly clearing his dazed mind.

"Holy crap, I misspoke just now, don't take it seriously, I was half asleep. Hey, hey, hey?"

After calling "hello" several times without receiving a response, Bai Yu glanced at her phone. Good heavens, the call had already been disconnected.

"Oh ho, Gil."

Chapter 348 To Trap or Not to Trap? (Donations Included)

When Murong Liyue heard Bai Yu's unwavering words, "I don't even have time to like you, why would I hate you?" she held her phone as if all her strength had suddenly vanished, letting it slip from her grasp without paying any attention.

This was the first time Bai Yu had spoken so frankly and without any hesitation in front of her. This time, she hadn't tried to induce her or devise any schemes; Bai Yu had truly spoken on her own initiative.

Sitting in the chair, it took Murong Liyue a long time to recover from her shock and daze.

Looking down at the phone with its screen completely shattered on the ground, a beautiful blush, like the sunset, involuntarily appeared on her usually calm and composed face.

"He said...he likes me?"

With a soft whisper, her previous suspicions and anxieties vanished with Bai Yu's words.

If Bai Yu were here, Murong Liyue would definitely not be able to control the strange impulse in her heart.

Fortunately, Bai Yu wasn't there, which allowed her to suppress the strange emotional fluctuations she felt.

Meanwhile, Bai Yu was completely wide awake by her own muddled words and was also feeling extremely panicked.

I shouldn't have answered Murong Liyue's call so readily. I should at least have cleared my head before answering. Who knows, for a moment my memory went haywire, and I was transported back to my past life...

After being reborn, Bai Yu would occasionally unconsciously bring back memories of her previous life and herself.

Normally it's nothing, at most I'll just say some weird things, but today I just happened to run into a bullet, which is really upsetting.

I tossed and turned in bed, feeling exhausted and wanting to rest, but I just couldn't fall asleep at all.

Picking up her phone, Bai Yu hesitated for a long time before deciding that she should make a call to explain. It would be better to find an excuse to get by, at least to have some peace of mind.

The feeling of not knowing what chain reaction will occur after such an event is like the anxiety of everyone else handing in their homework except you.

Thinking of Bai Yu, he pressed the button to call Murong Liyue.

The call was answered shortly after it was dialed.

Although Murong Liyue's phone screen was shattered, its functions were not impaired; at least she could still make calls.

When the girl saw the word "Husband" on the cracked screen of her phone, which was not very clear, she answered the call without hesitation.

As soon as the call connected, Bai Yu's voice, which was trying to sound calm, came through.

"President, was that you who called me just now? I thought it was my cousin. I was still half asleep. Look at me."

Bai Yu's explanation seemed perfectly reasonable, and he did indeed have a cousin, but they rarely kept in touch.

But would Murong Liyue listen? Obviously not. Words spoken are like water spilled; there's no way to take them back.

Moreover, what one says when half-asleep is like the truth when drunk; what one says subconsciously may be the most truthful.

"Okay, then you go to sleep first. When you wake up, come out for dinner tonight and we'll have a proper talk."

Upon hearing Murong Liyue's words, Bai Yu hesitated for a moment before deciding that he had already explained that he was in a state of unconsciousness and was just talking nonsense. Whether this girl believed him or not, he had already explained himself.

As for wanting to have dinner together that night, that's clearly just Murong Liyue's tactic, so I definitely have to refuse.

"I'm not free tonight."

"Is something wrong?"

After a moment's thought, Bai Yu knew very well that it would not work if she tried to refuse Murong Liyue with some kind of deception.

But if I don't try to fool this girl... he really doesn't seem to be in any trouble...

After a moment's hesitation, Bai Yu made a decision that would result in a thousand casualties for the enemy and eight hundred casualties for herself.

"I have plans with friends tonight. They're treating us to dinner with friends from the tennis club."

Bai Yu decided to refuse to have dinner alone with Murong Liyue and instead go to the place where Si Yu was treating her to a meal.
