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

"President, you..."

As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, a slightly cold little hand covered his lips.

"Call me wife."

"President..."

"Wife."

Staring into Murong Liyue's delicate, watery eyes, her long eyelashes were so alluring with each blink. It was truly difficult for Bai Yu to call her "wife" in this situation.

Besides, he had just been forcibly kissed by Murong Liyue. Although he wanted to resist, his damn competitive spirit made him put up the fiercest resistance. Now that he thought about it, he felt a little good, or rather, a little regretful.

Reaching out, Bai Yu grabbed Murong Liyue's soft, boneless hand that was resting in front of her lips. She took a deep breath, her face regaining its usual calm, and said softly.

"President, please stop being so nice to me. It's putting me in a difficult position. You're a very good girl, but you're being too nice to the wrong person. I don't deserve this from you."

Bai Yu was telling the truth. After all, although it was very likely that Murong Liyue was the mastermind behind his death in his previous life, wasn't he also the one who was extremely despicable?

In this life, he would not repeat the same mistakes. It was reasonable that Murong Liyue should treat him so well, even to the point of saying she loved him. Even if Bai Yu accepted this love, he would feel guilty. He did not think he deserved it.

With a gentle blink of her beautiful eyes, Murong Liyue could tell that Bai Yu was very serious when he said this, and she even saw a hint of guilt in his eyes, which puzzled Murong Liyue.

But none of that mattered to her. At this moment, she had given her heart entirely to Bai Yu. If she wasn't good to him, she couldn't be good to anyone else.

Raising her left hand, which Bai Yu hadn't grabbed, Murong Liyue touched his cheek, even pressing her own cheek against it, and whispered something in Bai Yu's ear.

"Who told me to love you? If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

The voice was soft, but its impact on Bai Yu's heart was enormous. These words were like a pebble thrown into a still lake, creating ripples that spread and had a chain reaction.

"Look, don't think too much. Even if you lose everything, you'll still have me. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Another sentence, seemingly casual yet profoundly impactful, reached Bai Yu's ears.

Perhaps this is just a statement, and putting it into practice may not be as easy as it sounds.

But this is Murong Liyue, the domineering and aloof Miss Murong. Is she the kind of person who can easily say such things?

Bai Yu's heart was in turmoil at this moment. He even began to doubt whether he would really fall in love with Murong Liyue. If he did, what should he do?

This was essentially a life-or-death decision, and he found himself harboring this same hesitation about all four of his ex-girlfriends.

However, everyone knows the saying that you can't have your cake and eat it too, but choosing one is still so difficult, because no matter which one you choose, it seems that you will have the same consequence.

"Whoo~"

Taking a deep breath, Bai Yu forced himself to calm his somewhat agitated heart. His decision had always been correct: to avoid his four ex-girlfriends, not choose any of them, and survive on his own. It seemed to be the safest way at the moment.

"President, didn't you want to go shopping? Shall we go?"

Bai Yu didn't want to linger on this topic any longer. He knew he was a soft-hearted person, so he had to cut his losses in time and not let Murong Liyue say anything more that would touch him.

Murong Liyue did not deny this, and nodded before speaking.

"Okay, I'll buy you clothes, let's go."

The words sounded almost indulgent, and after speaking, Murong Liyue buried her head in Bai Yu's arms, closed her eyes, and quietly enjoyed the warmth and comfort for three seconds before slowly getting up.

Watching Murong Liyue turn around, open the emergency exit door, and leave, Bai Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Murong Liyue's love was too direct and too heavy, but this is not a fairy tale. Her mother had already made it very clear that it was impossible for her to be with Murong Liyue. She only hoped that Murong Liyue would treat her as a memory in the future, and she would treat her as a memory in the same way.

She got up and followed Murong Liyue out of the iron gate of the emergency exit. Bai Yu looked at the graceful figure standing not far from the elevator entrance, where she was waiting for the elevator.

After emerging, Murong Liyue had lost her previous gentle and composed demeanor, and instead reverted to her usual aloofness.

Taking two quick steps forward, Bai Yu had just arrived beside Murong Liyue when she saw the girl turn her head and glance at her. Her eyes were no longer filled with indifference and no other emotions; instead, they held a faint tenderness.

Besides that look, Bai Yu also felt Murong Liyue's hand gently touching hers. Was she thinking of taking the initiative to hold her hand?

She reached out and grabbed that expectant jade hand, but Bai Yu had already made up an excuse for it.

"President, your hands are quite cold. Are you prone to feeling cold?"

After saying that, Bai Yu released that smooth, jade-like hand. Although he wanted to hold it and touch it a little longer—it felt so comfortable and soft—he knew better what he should do. Life and death were choices, and he had already been torn between them. He couldn't afford to make a wrong move.

Although it was just a brief hand-holding for Murong Liyue, it was the first time Bai Yu had taken the initiative to hold her hand, making it all the more meaningful.

Bai Yu is not a straightforward person, so for her to take the initiative to hold hands once represents a beautiful beginning.

"Yes, I feel cold, but my heart is warm."

Six simple words came from Murong Liyue's small mouth, her tone still as indifferent as ever, yet seemingly carrying a different kind of warmth. Chapter 380 Heart in Turmoil (Supplement)

Bai Yu disliked shopping and didn't want Murong Liyue to spend money on him, but he couldn't possibly go against the wishes of this young lady.

Although I saw a different Murong Liyue in the stairwell, the aloof and mature woman had transformed into a coquettish and charming one, the contrast was so huge.

But at this moment, the girl had already returned to her usual self, still looking aloof and with an exceptional temperament, giving people the feeling of keeping people at a distance as always.

only...

"Bai Yu, take this black dress and try it on."

Looking at the black trench coat that Murong Liyue handed to her again, this was the twelfth piece of clothing that Bai Yu had tried on.

Trying on clothes is fine, but the problem is that if Murong Liyue thinks a particular item looks good, she'll take it all home.

How could Bai Yu bear this? This was blatant being kept by a sugar daddy! Didn't she see the strange looks those female shop assistants were giving her?

"President, how about we don't buy it?"

Bai Yu's tone was almost pleading as he spoke, afraid that this girl had bought him so much money and he would never be able to pay her back.

"Row."

It was just a casual word, but the one word Murong Liyue uttered made Bai Yu breathe a long sigh of relief. Finally, damn it, she wasn't going to buy it.

As expected, after Bai Yu finished trying it on, the dress was packed up again.

Bai Yu could guess what those female shop assistants were thinking just by looking at the way they glanced at her.

When Murong Liyue went to pay, Bai Yu didn't dare to go up and look at the price, mainly because he was afraid that his heart wouldn't be able to take it if he saw the price of tens of thousands.

Although Bai Yu has worn clothes, pants, or shoes that cost several thousand yuan before, she has never bought so many at once. This store is a luxury clothing store, and every single item here costs over a thousand yuan. Even the short-sleeved shirts cost over a thousand yuan.

He was carrying bags and packages, all of which belonged to Bai Yu. When other couples go shopping, they carry bags and packages for their girlfriends. But this was different. Not only were he and Murong Liyue not a couple, but all these bags and packages were for himself. How ridiculous is that?

"Would you like a cup of milk tea?"

It was when Bai Yu followed behind Murong Liyue without saying a word that this girl suddenly asked such a question.

At this moment, Bai Yu immediately perked up. It wasn't that he wanted to drink milk tea, but rather that he wanted to jump out and invite Murong Liyue to drink milk tea.

Although a cup of milk tea only costs ten or twenty yuan, I should at least treat her once. Murong Liyue has always paid for everything, so am I just a useless gigolo?

"President, the milk tea is on me. Don't be shy. I'll get angry if you don't let me treat you. Now, tell me, what do you want to drink?"

Seeing Bai Yu's expression, as if she was afraid that she would pay first, Murong Liyue's lips curled up imperceptibly.

She had observed long ago that Bai Yu was a guy who really disliked owing favors to others, especially when she had to spend money on him; his reaction was the most intense then.

So she always tries to spend money on Bai Yu or treat her to meals, just like this time when she bought clothes. She seized the opportunity and bought a lot, making Bai Yu gradually become dependent on her, and then never be able to get rid of her.

Although the plan seems to have a long way to go, it appears to be quite reliable at present.

Of course, Murong Liyue was actually quite pleased that Bai Yu was going to treat her to a meal.

It doesn't feel special to treat someone you like to a meal, but being treated by someone you like or love, even for something as cheap as a cup of milk tea, feels completely different.

After ordering two cups of milk tea, totaling fifty yuan, Bai Yu would never have spent so much on milk tea in the past. But things are different now. Compared to Murong Liyue's extravagant spending, this was nothing at all.

Shopping, buying things, eating delicious food, and watching movies – Murong Liyue had her whole day meticulously planned out, leaving no time for relaxation.

This is Murong Liyue, an aloof and mature woman whose plans are never wrong, even on a first date.

If Bai Yu said that her death by knife in her previous life wasn't orchestrated by her, she would just go eat some bastard food.

9:36 PM —

Bai Yu stood silently on the street outside the movie theater, watching the passing vehicles and the brightly lit street.

"I've booked a hotel. If everything's alright, we can go back to sleep now."

Murong Liyue's calm voice came from the side, but its content did nothing to calm Bai Yu.

"President, can you not be so calm when you say things like that? It's like we go to hotels all the time and it's nothing out of the ordinary."

"Having slept together so many times, isn't that commonplace?"

Murong Liyue took two light steps, her gait noticeably awkward. She had been wearing high heels all day, so her feet and hands must have been a little sore, but she didn't show it at all. This was something she shared with Si Yu.

"President, are you going to take a taxi back to school with me, or will you go to the hotel by yourself?"

Bai Yu didn't want to linger on this topic. He certainly wouldn't go to a hotel alone with Murong Liyue, that would be too dangerous, wouldn't it? They might accidentally cross the line.

"Let's go back to the dorm together."

"No, what I mean is, I'm going back to the boys' dorm, and you're going back to the girls' dorm. Don't come to my dorm, understand?"

Upon hearing Bai Yu's explanation, Murong Liyue reached out her right hand and slipped it inside Bai Yu's clothes, touching his abdomen as she spoke.

"It's warm here, I want to lean against it and sleep."

Murong Liyue spoke with her usual cool and aloof demeanor, but this only made Bai Yu feel more aroused than if she had directly seduced him with a flirtatious manner.

He reached out and quickly and slowly pulled the small hand that was touching his lower abdomen, which felt smooth and comfortable, out of his hand, and said with a serious expression.

"President, if you want to go back to the dorm, let's go back together. Don't touch me inappropriately."

"Okay, then we should sit in the back of the car together."

"can."

......

The two took a car back to school. Murong Liyue was probably really tired after a day of shopping, eating, drinking and having fun. She fell asleep leaning against Bai Yu in the car. It was only when they got off that they had to coax her to get off. Murong Liyue, who was drowsy and wanted to sleep, insisted that Bai Yu call her "wife". There was nothing he could do. The driver was too lazy to wait, so he had no choice but to give in.

Because the girls' dormitory was closest to the main gate of Beicheng University, while the boys' dormitory was much farther away, Bai Yu took Murong Liyue to the girls' dormitory gate along the way.

Just as he was about to leave, Murong Liyue suddenly said something that left him unable to calm down for a long time.

"Honey, life is a long journey. Love that's always on your lips is cheap. But I only have so much love to say that I can't express it all to you. Don't forget, I'm still waiting for you to fill your heart with love before I say it."

Murong Liyue's farewell words were as calm and collected as ever, yet they stirred up a turmoil in people's hearts.
