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

"Come to the school gate."

Murong Liyue's message was as brief and domineering as ever, without even giving a reason.

"What?"

Bai Yu asked with a hint of helplessness.

"Dating."

The two unvarnished words made Bai Yu roll over in bed, reluctantly close her eyes, and only reply after letting out a long sigh.

"President, we haven't reached that level of relationship yet. Could you go and ask someone else out?"

"You're trying to push me out again, aren't you?"

"Who pushed you? Didn't you say you weren't going to hold that against me?"

"But you lied to me that day, making me feel like it was a date, so I have to make up for it today."

"I never said it was a date!"

"You're not coming, are you?"

Well, judging from what Murong Liyue sent, if I don't go, nothing good will happen next.

"Come on, is that alright?"

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Upon seeing Murong Liyue's reply, Bai Yu slammed her phone onto the blanket, looking utterly dejected.

"grass."

Chapter 371 Murong Liyue's Sullen Mood

After tidying up and putting on some clothes, the sound of a door opening and closing was heard in the quiet dormitory a short while later. This made Li Cheng and the other two who were still sleeping turn over and continue sleeping.

Perhaps it was because Bai Yu didn't really want to face Miss Murong Liyue, that the journey that should have taken ten minutes ended up taking him more than half an hour.

Surprisingly, Murong Liyue didn't send any messages to urge him during this period, which was quite peculiar.

Standing not far from the school gate, Bai Yu could see Murong Liyue's slender figure from afar.

Today she was wearing a blue and white long dress with a black blazer, black stockings and high heels... still so sexy. Her long blue hair was styled in a rare way, and from the back, the hairstyle looked just like Aqua's. But if only this girl were as smart as Aqua.

With slightly heavy steps, Bai Yu walked to a distance of three meters behind Murong Liyue before speaking.

"President?"

Upon hearing Bai Yu's voice, Murong Liyue turned around gently, her expression still aloof. Her naturally rosy lips were clearly coated with a light layer of lipstick, making her look incredibly tempting.

She looked at Bai Yu without saying anything, but after glancing at him with her eyes, she raised one of her slender hands.

Upon seeing Murong Liyue raise her snow-white hand, Bai Yu had no idea what she meant and couldn't help but frown and ask.

"President, what do you mean by this?"

"When on a date, holding hands is a must."

Upon hearing this bizarre statement, Bai Yu covered her forehead, utterly speechless.

"Who told you that you have to hold hands on a date?"

Seeing Bai Yu's somewhat speechless expression, Murong Liyue frowned slightly, clearly disliking Bai Yu's questioning attitude.

She took a few steps forward, not giving Bai Yu a chance to say whether she was willing or not, and grabbed his hand, followed by cold words.

"I said it."

"President, I think it's better for girls to be gentle or docile. Your domineering attitude... might not be a good thing!"

Bai Yu was simply speaking his mind, but as soon as he said it, he clearly felt Murong Liyue's small hand, which was holding his, tremble slightly.

Without giving any reply, Murong Liyue pulled Bai Yu along and walked towards the opposite side of the school.

Bai Yu has definitely been on dates more than once or twice; she's the experienced type.

This was a first for Murong Liyue, but it seemed that Bai Yu's words had upset her or something, because this girl not only held her back without saying a word, but also refused to tell her where they were going, and just kept walking forward.

It was supposed to be a date, but before it even started, the atmosphere was already awkward, forcing Bai Yu to speak up to ease the tension that made him feel so comfortable.

"President, where are we going?"

She had spoken, but still received no reply. Murong Liyue continued to pull him forward.

He tried to loosen his grip, but the girl held on very tightly, and he could even feel a slight pain.

"President, I'm asking you a question, why aren't you answering?"

Bai Yu asked again, but still received no reply.

Bai Yu was a little unhappy at that moment. He didn't want to come out in the first place, but this girl insisted on calling him out. Now that he was out, she was ignoring him. Did she really think he was just a tool?

With a strong pull, Bai Yu stood still and wouldn't move. If it really came down to strength, he was definitely much stronger than Murong Liyue.

Murong Liyue pulled Bai Yu's hand twice, but when she found she couldn't move it, she turned around and looked at him. Her cold eyes revealed no emotion.

What are you standing there for?

The words remained cold and indifferent, but Bai Yu, who was asking the question, felt both annoyed and amused.

Did I not hear her when I spoke to her?

Didn't you hear me talking to you?

"I heard it, but I just don't want to pay attention."

Good heavens, those words made Bai Yu furious.

"Don't want to talk to me? Okay, then let go of my hand. I want to go back to my bed and sleep."

Seeing Bai Yu's cold expression, a hint of tears flashed in Murong Liyue's eyes, but it was fleeting, and the next moment her indifferent voice came over.

"I'm just that kind of domineering and unreasonable person, aren't I?"

"Unreasonable and domineering? Fine, then..."

Bai Yu was momentarily angered, but after speaking for a while, she suddenly noticed the tears welling up in Murong Liyue's eyes.

Even though her eyes still looked so cold, her expression so aloof, and her words sounded domineering and unreasonable, why were there tears in her eyes?

Bai Yu isn't stupid; he's a guy who's very good at reading people. If it weren't for that, even a scumbag wouldn't be so experienced, right?

"So... how domineering and unreasonable do you want to be?"

Murong Liyue looked at Bai Yu, whose expression had suddenly calmed down instead of being angry, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Humph."

That hum seemed like he didn't want to talk to Bai Yu, but wasn't talking to Bai Yu also a way of revealing his thoughts?

He now completely understood why Murong Liyue was acting this way; she was clearly angry.

Rather than being angry, it was more like she was throwing a tantrum because she felt wronged and displeased by what Bai Yu had said earlier.

In other words, Murong Liyue's statement, "President, I think it's better for girls to be gentle or docile. Your domineering attitude isn't quite right!" was quite something.

These words hurt the girl's feelings, but for the aloof Murong Liyue, those girlish expressions didn't exist, and she would never easily show her vulnerable side; she had developed such a habit over the past twenty years.

So all she could do was sulk and remain silent while holding Bai Yusheng, expressing her grievances and dissatisfaction.

After thinking it over, Bai Yu realized that his words were indeed somewhat ill-considered. Perhaps he initially thought that Murong Liyue would not care about his words, but after all, no matter how aloof and domineering Murong Liyue was, she was still a girl, wasn't she? She also had a vulnerable side.

"President, are you angry?"

Bai Yu spoke these words with a slightly humble tone.

As soon as he said this, he could clearly feel Murong Liyue's little hand, which was holding him tightly, trembling slightly. But the girl still didn't say anything, looking like she didn't want to talk to him and was sulking.

This was the first time Bai Yu had seen Murong Liyue sulking. Although she still looked aloof, the way she turned her eyes away from him gave off a strangely cute vibe, which was quite magical. Chapter 372 Ten Fingers Connected to the Heart

Now that Bai Yu knew why Murong Liyue was acting this way, he naturally knew how to solve the problem.

When it comes to coaxing girls, that's easy for him. However, when it comes to Murong Liyue, Bai Yu had actually considered not coaxing her at all, but pretending not to know and making her angry, which would lower his favorability rating.

But this thought was quickly dismissed. Last time, when his and Ye Xingyan's plan was exposed, it made Murong Liyue very angry, didn't it?

But the result wasn't that they ignored me or their affection for me decreased. Instead, I almost suffered social death in my dorm room, and the consequences could have been even more serious.

So trying to lower one's favorability with such petty tricks is probably wishful thinking.

If you fail to lower the favorability rating and end up making Murong Liyue completely unhappy, you'll only feel worse, which is just asking for trouble.

So after much consideration, Bai Yu decided to try to appease her. Only by appeasing her could he find out what she wanted to do with him later, and he could prepare in advance.

"President, are you unhappy?"

Bai Yu didn't use that gentle tone to say those words. After all, he absolutely couldn't show his gentle side in front of Murong Liyue. He could only express these words with the calmest expression and tone.

Murong Liyue clearly didn't want to pay attention to this. Although she kept holding Bai Yu's hand, she refused to look at him, clearly sulking.

"Fine, if you're ignoring me, then I'm really going back? But you look quite nice dressed today."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Yu reached out to pull away Murong Liyue's hand, which was tightly gripping hers.

But the moment she uttered those words, a faint blush appeared on Murong Liyue's face.

"Who told you to go back?"

A cold voice came from behind, and Murong Liyue finally looked Bai Yu in the eye. However, it was this direct gaze that made Bai Yu notice the girl's blushing face.

"President, are you blushing?"

"Uh-huh~"

A soft whimper, like a kitten startled, made Bai Yu pause slightly. It was Murong Liyue's voice.

Looking up at the girl's slightly open mouth and her barely visible pearly teeth, it was definitely the sound that came from her.

It was unexpected that the usually aloof Murong Liyue would make such a shy, girlish "hmm" sound; Bai Yu had never seen it before.

It was true that it was the first time he had met her, but Murong Liyue found herself suddenly at a disadvantage with Bai Yu, which was not what she wanted to see, nor was it her usual style.
