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

But Su Rongxue did not loosen her grip on his clothes. Instead, she buried her head in Bai Yu's arms and whispered something.

"Then... hit me gently... I'm afraid of pain..."

Bai Yu truly felt like she was about to crack open; what this girl said was simply too...

"Are you stupid? Didn't I tell you that you don't need to act so subservient to me? You need to have some self-respect. Why are you still acting like that? Do you really think I'm not a bad person?"

Bai Yu had to admit that he was indeed charmed by Su Rongxue's unconsciously cute behavior and words time and time again. But it was precisely because of this that he wanted to make this girl understand that she couldn't rely on and trust him like this, and that there was no need for her to act so humble.

"But...you're not bad..."

"Don't try to whitewash me. I'm rotten to the core. From now on, you'd better be tough on me. Come on, learn from me. Get on your knees!"

As he said this, Bai Yu reached out and pulled Su Rongxue, who was holding him and had buried her head in his chest, away. He had to make this girl stand up to him today.

Looking up at Bai Yu's serious face, Su Rongxue did not object; she remained obedient as always.

"You...you get...up..."

Speaking softly and gently, these were clearly insults, but the way this girl said them made them sound incredibly cute, which was a bit outrageous.

"Be fierce, don't be so weak, say it all in one breath!"

"You...get out of here..."

"Let's go again, this time with more confidence."

"Give me..."

She had the feeling and confidence to say those words, but before she could finish, Su Rongxue's eyes suddenly reddened.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yu instantly knew that this girl was about to cry, damn it.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? Oh my god, it's just one sentence, why are you crying... Okay, okay, stop crying, alright? I won't say it anymore, okay?"

There was no way around it. No matter how confident she was, no matter how fierce she could pretend to be towards Su Rongxue, once this girl showed that aggrieved and tearful expression, all of Bai Yu's pretense would vanish.

"No, I...I don't want you...to crawl..."

As Su Rongxue spoke, her voice became increasingly choked with emotion.

Forget it, I'm not going to teach her anymore. I haven't even taught this girl what it means to be tough, and it seems like I've only created more trouble for her.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, I was wrong, okay?"

Bai Yu's words were truly unconvincing. He was genuinely afraid that Su Rongxue would cry, especially since they were on their way to the classroom, with people coming and going. It would be such a bad influence if anyone saw them like that. Anyone would probably think that he was bullying Su Rongxue.

"Yes, you can't climb..."

As she said this, Su Rongxue reached out and tugged at Bai Yu's sleeve again, looking aggrieved, as if she was afraid that Bai Yu would abandon her.

What can Bai Yu do about this girl's petty behavior? There's really nothing he can do, it's so frustrating. This girl has such a fragile heart, it could break at any moment!

He bent down slightly and reached into Su Rongxue's hoodie pocket to take out a pack of tissues.

Whenever this girl wears a hoodie, she always puts a pack of toilet paper in that long pocket.

Don't ask why Bai Yu knows. He spent so much time with this girl in his previous life, how could he not know?

"Wipe away your tears. Why are you such a crybaby? If I punch you in the head, you'll be crying for ages!"

She reached out and took the tissue from Bai Yu's hand, wiping away the tears that hadn't yet fallen from her eyes, and then her aggrieved voice came through.

"I'm afraid of pain... I even tremble with fear when I get injections..."

As she said this, Su Rongxue cautiously took a step closer to Bai Yu, as if she was afraid of the thought of getting a shot and needed Bai Yu's protection.

But the injection that Bai Yu thought of at that moment was not the kind of injection Su Rongxue had mentioned; that kind of injection was much bigger.

"That's not necessarily true. One injection won't do; you'll need at least two sets."

"Ah? That definitely won't work... Two injections... I'll die..."

Clutching Bai Yu's clothes, Su Rongxue actually showed a terrified expression; it seemed this girl was genuinely afraid of injections.

However, the needle that Bai Yu was talking about and the needle that this girl was talking about seemed to be completely different things from beginning to end.

“Sometimes one injection isn’t enough. If the first injection isn’t done properly, you might need a second or third injection. That would mean two or three sets of injections.”

Bai Yu was really being irreverent just because she wasn't on the same wavelength as Su Rongxue.

This terrified Su Rongxue. The thought of getting even one injection had left her with a huge psychological trauma, let alone two or three. It was too terrifying.

"No, no, I don't want a shot... I can't even stand one set..."

"That's true. With your delicate body, you might not be able to handle one set. In that case, you'll have to take it orally."

"Yes, taking medicine is best..."

Su Rongxue had no idea that Bai Yu had taken advantage of her verbally, and she obediently nodded in agreement, thinking that Bai Yu was still the best to her.

Of course, it might have been just a momentary impulse on Bai Yu's part, or he might have just wanted to tease the girl. He wouldn't normally say these things to Su Rongxue.

He brought Su Rongxue to the classroom. Today was the first day of class after the holiday, and it was a full day of classes.

After lunch, I went back for a nap, and then it was class again in the afternoon. Black Tuesday, how terrifying.

This day should have passed by like any other Tuesday, unremarkable and uneventful.

But after school in the afternoon, Bai Yu received a WeChat message from Su Rongxue as she walked on the road and arrived at the school's large lawn.

"Bai Yu, could you come to the chain hotel across the street for a bit?"

The moment Bai Yu saw this message, the image of Su Rongxue wielding a knife instantly flashed through her mind.

Because the chain hotel across from the school was the very hotel where he was hacked to death.

"What?"

Bai Yu recalled that unpleasant memory, and for a moment she felt a little short of breath, as if that knife was still stuck in her chest, making her feel suffocated.

Bai Yu walked over to a public bench and sat down, panting heavily, and broke out in a cold sweat for no apparent reason.

This isn't psychological fear, but rather a fear response from the body; the body is also afraid of the moment it's stabbed.

After receiving Bai Yu's reply, Su Rongxue quickly sent a message in return, but she did not receive another reply for a long time.

Su Rongxue had booked a luxury room across from the school. At this moment, she was sitting on the sofa looking at her phone, waiting for Bai Yu to reply to her message.

It took Bai Yu a long time to recover from that state after sitting on the bench for a while.

He knew that it was something that happened in his previous life and had nothing to do with this life, but personal experience is still personal experience, and the fear was still painful once it was unearthed again.

"Whoo~"

After letting out a breath and calming herself down, Bai Yu looked at Su Rongxue's reply.

"You'll find out when you get here; it's a secret."

A secret? Are you trying to stab me again?

Bai Yu's immediate thought was whether Su Rongxue was planning to stab him again.

But after thinking it over, I realized I hadn't done anything wrong. The reason I was stabbed to death in my previous life was because I was cheating on four people at the same time, having an affair and even washing feet. I was a complete scumbag. In this life, I'm a good kid who hasn't made any mistakes.

"What secret?"

To be honest, Bai Yu didn't want to go, and she didn't dare to go either.

"A secret is something that can't be told; you'll find out when you get here."

"I'm not coming."

Since Su Rongxue wouldn't reveal what the secret was, Bai Yu felt that for her own safety, she shouldn't go.

However, Su Rongxue's subsequent reply revealed a hint of a temper tantrum.

"If you don't come, I'll keep waiting until you do."

"Then you can wait patiently."

Upon seeing Bai Yu's reply that she really wasn't coming, Su Rongxue took off her shoes, hugged her little feet, curled up on the sofa, and actually... started to sulk.

"If they don't come, I'll wait, I won't go back..."

A few stubborn yet playful words came from Su Rongxue's small mouth; this girl was truly stubborn when she wanted to be.

Bai Yu didn't pay much attention to it at first, but she realized something was wrong when she discovered that Su Rongxue hadn't come during evening self-study.

Su Rongxue is usually the most punctual for class and evening self-study. How could this girl not be here when evening self-study has already started?

After the first evening self-study session ended, Bai Yu still hadn't noticed Su Rongxue's arrival, so he couldn't continue with the second evening self-study session.

There was no other way; the main reason was that Su Rongxue was such a delicate girl, and she hadn't come to evening self-study. Bai Yu was worried about her being out so late at night.

Moreover, Su Rongxue's mother asked him to take good care of Su Rongxue, but if something happens and he's the cause, that would be too much.

However, just to be on the safe side, when Bai Yu was on her way to find Su Rongxue, she found a wooden stick about two fingers thick and half an arm long in the grass and stuck it in her clothes.

There was no other way. Even if he was going to that chain hotel to find Su Rongxue, he had to be careful. What if that girl turned evil? He was mainly afraid that the hotel and the evil Su Rongxue would trigger some kind of emotional connection.

Having made the necessary preparations, Bai Yu quickly arrived at the hotel that Su Rongxue had mentioned.

I took out my phone to message this girl, but no one replied for a long time.

Finally, having no other choice, Bai Yu went to the front desk to ask which room Su Rongxue was in, and only then did she find out exactly where the girl was.

Upon arriving on the fifth floor, Bai Yu nervously raised her hand and knocked on the door of the room that Su Rongxue had booked.

No one answered the first knock, and still no one answered the second. Bai Yu knocked three times before she heard the sound of barefoot footsteps running towards the door. The next moment, Su Rongxue's weak voice came through.

"who is it?"
