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

Gently withdrawing her right hand, Bai Yu subconsciously sniffed the air. A faint, sweet rose scent mingled with a delicate milky aroma was intoxicating.

However, this action was fleeting, and Bai Yu quickly realized that something was wrong with her.

After dropping Si Yu off at her apartment building, he still needed to hurry back; what was he going to do, get lost in his own world?

"Sister Siyu, we're home. Get up quickly."

After nudging Si Yu and seeing that the girl didn't react much, Bai Yu had no choice but to get out of the car, open the passenger door, and carry her back.

Carrying Si Yu into the elevator, they soon arrived at the girl's doorstep.

Si Yu had told Bai Yu the password to the password door, so opening the door went smoothly.

Honestly, even if Si Yu isn't heavy, carrying her in the elevator all the time to her house for a long time is still tiring.

Upon entering the room, Bai Yu placed the girl on the bed, turned around, went out to get a glass of water, placed it next to the bedside table, and prepared to leave.

At that moment, Si Yu reached out and grabbed his hand, her soft voice carrying a hint of pleading.

"I don't usually drink when I'm alone, but I drank today because you were here, little brother. I didn't mean to make you feel insecure... Please don't leave me, okay?"

Bai Yu, who was being pulled back, originally thought that Si Yu would definitely say something incoherent because she was drunk, but she didn't expect that Si Yu would actually explain why she was drinking.

She clearly needs security, yet she keeps trying to make herself feel secure. Is that foolish? Or just plain foolish?

Turning around and crouching down, Bai Yu looked at Si Yu, whose eyes were filled with pleading, and spoke softly, her tone no longer distant.

"Yeah, I know. I haven't abandoned you, but there's really no need for you to give me all your sense of security. You need to keep some for yourself too!"

Leaving Si Yu's house, Bai Yu felt a little complicated. He found that he seemed to have a slight attachment and lingering affection for Si Yu for a moment.

Bai Yu knew exactly what this feeling was, but also how dangerous it was.

As Bai Yu walked outside the apartment building, she glanced back at the balcony where Si Yu lived and muttered to herself.

"I'm sorry, it might not be a good thing that fate brought us together, at least not a good thing for you."

After saying that, Bai Yu glanced at the time on her phone. It was already past seven o'clock, and there was no time to go back to school for roll call. She could only ask her counselor for leave.

Bai Yu took out her phone, opened her counselor's WeChat, and sent a message asking for leave because she couldn't make it to roll call.

Bai Yu only received a reply from her counselor when she was waiting to take a taxi back to school and then walk back to her dormitory.

However, the reply wasn't just about the leave request; it also concerned the exchange student issue.

"I know there wasn't enough time for roll call. Come to my office tomorrow; I need to discuss the exchange student program with you in detail."

Upon seeing the message, Bai Yu replied with a simple "okay" and then turned off her phone.

Although avoidance is never the key to solving problems, Bai Yu doesn't believe that the liking of his four ex-girlfriends equals love.

He felt that this kind of affection was very elusive; perhaps a half-semester exchange program would be enough to make several girls choose to give up? He was afraid even one would be fine.

It was this idea that led Bai Yu to choose to become an exchange student. Of course, even if she didn't give up, she could still gain temporary freedom, right?

The second day, Monday morning self-study session—

Bai Yu stood in front of her class advisor, listening to him explain the requirements for exchange students.

"Exchange student spots are limited, but you're the only one from our class who applied. Here, this is the application form. Take it and fill it out. After that, I'll need a photocopy of your ID card and a photocopy of your household registration booklet. Give me one of each of those documents, and then I'll need..."

After the counselor finished explaining everything that was needed and the requirements, Bai Yu finally spoke her mind.

"Teacher, I hope you can keep my going as an exchange student a secret. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, the counselor pushed up his glasses, frowned, and asked with some confusion.

"Why keep it a secret? It's not a big deal."

"The main thing is that I need to keep it a secret. Some classmates will start spreading rumors if they find out. You must know about this kind of thing. I don't like to hear those rumors and they affect my mood."

This was Bai Yu's excuse, but it wasn't entirely without merit.

When some classmates find out about exchange students, they'll probably say things like, "They're stupid and have too much money," and so on.

The counselor was aware of this, so he didn't refuse and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, but starting next month you'll have to take language classes with a professional teacher at the school. It's free, so why not take it? Otherwise, you might develop some communication difficulties. Go ahead."

"Yes, teacher."

Nodding, Bai Yu left the counselor's office.

After a thorough understanding, Bai Yu chose to go to a small island country where life was quite comfortable as an exchange student.

The reason for choosing this place is simple: Bai Yu likes the scenery and the location of anime/manga production.

Of course, another advantage is that the language is relatively easy to learn. You can communicate in English or their native language, which is convenient.

The school she went to was called "Gamit University," which sounded a bit strange, but after Bai Yu looked it up, she found that it was one of the top universities in the country, a very good private university. The founder was a European, and the name sounded odd, but the tuition was really expensive. Luckily, her dad was willing to be ripped off by her!

Bai Yu will have to take an extra Japanese class starting next month, and it will be a Japanese class every day.

If you ask Bai Yu if he has any basic skills, he does! He knows every single line from those classic action movies; his foundation is very solid.

Of course, setting those aside, long-term communication is fine, but everyday communication is not recommended.

Starting Monday of this week, Bai Yu will be busy.

Of course, it's not just him who'll be busy; even the icy beauty Murong Liyue will have plenty to do.

She's a junior in college now, and the only one of her four ex-girlfriends who's about to become a senior.

However, Murong Liyue is preparing to pursue a master's degree, so she has to start working on her graduation thesis now.

Si Yu is busy with her exams, and Qing Sisi is about to take the college entrance exam, so it goes without saying that she won't have an easy time.

As for Su Rongxue... this girl seems to be the least threatening one right now, and Bai Yu is most at ease with her. The main reason is that this girl is obedient, which is a good thing, but it also makes it easy for people to break down.

The white rain that lasted for the second half of April was so refreshing, it was simply wonderful.

However, Bai Yu wasn't feeling well on the afternoon of May 1st, the day before the Labor Day holiday, because Ye Xingyan blocked his door.

It was called blocking the door, but actually, Bai Yu was blocked at the toilet door by Ye Xingyan when she went to the toilet and was about to go back to the dormitory to pack her things and go home.

Looking at the seven or eight boys of different builds behind Ye Xingyan, each with an unfriendly expression, it was as if they had some deep-seated grudge against him.

"Ye Xingyan, what...what do you mean by this?"

Bai Yu asked, feigning ignorance.

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. You were so arrogant the other day, weren't you? Come on, I'm in a good mood today since I'm on holiday, let me beat you up to vent my anger first!"

With that, Ye Xingyan decided not to take action himself this time, and waved to signal the people behind him to do so.

Just as the seven or eight people surrounded him, preparing to take action, Bai Yu waved his hand, his expression calm and composed, showing no sign of panic or fear, and said softly.

"So many people are attacking me... I definitely can't fight them all. If you're a man, a real man, give me a minute, okay?"

Bai Yu's words were meant to provoke Ye Xingyan, but they worked surprisingly well on Ye Xingyan, who was already hot-tempered. Besides, he also had to save face in front of so many brothers.

"Fine, I'll give you one minute. I can hit you again in a minute, it'll be the same."

Upon hearing Ye Xingyan's words, Bai Yu took out her phone and called Qing Siling.

He had thought about whether Ye Xingyan would surround him, but he forgot about it later because he was busy with the exchange student program and learning Japanese on his own.

"Hey, Bai Yu, what brings you to call me? Is it... to ask my sister out? Sigh, she's at school right now. Lately, she's been acting like a different person; I've never seen her study so hard before. I just..."

"Screw you, come to the second-floor restroom in the teaching building. I'm being mobbed by a bunch of people who're practically possessed by Ip Man. Bring some people with you. Aren't you one of those rich kid gangs? You can call a few people, right?"

Bai Yu didn't have time to listen to Qing Siling's nonsense and went straight to the point: she wanted his help.

"Oh no, I'm not at school right now, I'm at the foot massage parlor. But I can call someone to come and help you. I'll call someone for you. I'll hang up now."

After saying that, Qing Siling hung up the phone and immediately called Bai Yu to ask for help. Chapter 353 Reciprocity

"Finished the call? Still calling for backup? You're more likely to call someone to come and get beaten up too."

Beside Ye Xingyan, a fat man who was about 1.8 meters tall and weighed at least 200 kilograms pointed at Bai Yu with a disdainful look and an extremely arrogant attitude.

Would Bai Yu put up with this nonsense? He was already feeling resentful towards his four ex-girlfriends, and now everyone wanted to provoke him. Did they really think he was easy to bully after facing death?

He reached out and grabbed the fat man's index finger, shoving him forward with force. A cry of pain immediately rang out at the toilet door.

"Ahhhhhhh, damn it, let go!"

Hearing the fat man's screams and his gradual kneeling motion, Bai Yu increased the pressure a little more and said coldly.

"You were yelling pretty loudly, weren't you? Go ahead and yell again if you dare!"

Ye Xingyan and the others beside him had no idea that Bai Yu would suddenly take action.

Apart from Bai Yuke, everyone here is on our side. This guy actually dared to make the first move. Is he really not afraid of death?

"Damn it, get him. I've never seen such an arrogant person. He even dared to strike first. Don't go too far. Just give him a minor injury. Don't cause any serious problems."

Ye Xingyan knew that Bai Yu and Murong Liyue were close. Beating up Bai Yu was fine, and it wouldn't be a big deal if he was held accountable. But if something serious happened to him, that would be a different story.

One person fighting against a group of people, Bai Yu felt that he could possess Ip Man, but the premise was that he had to possess someone first.

He kicked the fat man in the stomach, instantly rendering him unable to fight, thus temporarily reducing the number of opponents by one.

His kick was followed by a barrage of punches, signaling the start of a group fight.

The battle lasted for about five or six minutes, and the people Qing Siling had called for Bai Yu hurriedly arrived at the scene.

However, they arrived rather late, because even if Bai Yu was truly fearless, he was still no match for four opponents. Although there were no visible injuries on his face, his body was already covered in bruises.

"Hey, hey, stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"

The leader who came to help Bai Yu was a young man with a buzz cut wearing a basketball uniform. He was very strong and looked like the muscular type.

The dozen or so people following behind him were all young men dressed in basketball uniforms, one of whom was carrying a basketball, presumably having been called over while playing basketball.

When Ye Xingyan heard someone tell him to stop, he turned around and couldn't help but smile when he saw who it was.

"Hey, isn't this Wang Ziyuan, the captain of the basketball team? What are you doing here?"

When Wang Ziyuan saw that the person who made the move was Ye Xingyan, he was taken aback. However, he did not say anything. The next moment, he stepped forward, pushed aside the crowd surrounding Bai Yu, and shouted.
