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

Monetary debts can be paid off little by little, as they are individual numbers. As long as you keep paying, you will eventually pay it off.

As for human relationships and love, these are intangible things. Others may think you've paid them back, but you might feel in your heart that you can never truly repay them.

Bai Yu was in this state. Even though Si Yu and Lin Ying felt that he didn't owe them anything, he could never get over the hurdle of feeling indebted. Just as he thought when he closed his eyes, if he could do it all over again, he would change and make amends no matter what.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing? Let go of my girlfriend's hand and get out of here right now."

Bai Yu stepped forward and grabbed Jing Shen Qinglu's hand that was holding Lin Ying. He didn't hesitate to shake her off. Although he was still a little weak due to his injuries, his strength was definitely far greater than Jing Shen Qinglu's.

When they saw someone come to stop them, and it was Bai Yu, whom they had met before, Jing Shen Qinglu, Tian Ye Muzi, and Kato Xiying were very surprised. Their boyfriends, however, showed a hint of envy and jealousy in their eyes.

However, someone came to Lin Ying's aid, and it was in a crowded place like the beach. Jing Shen Qinglu, Tian Ye Muzi, and Kato Xiying were three girls who were in the wrong. Continuing to be arrogant and domineering would not bring them any benefit. So, she curled her lip, made an excuse, and turned to leave.

"We're Fujiwara Rin-sakura's classmates and friends. We just happened to see her and wanted to say hello. Why are you being so aggressive?"

As Bai Yu watched the three women turn and leave, she looked at Lin Ying sitting beside her when she heard the mocking laughter of Tano Muko from behind.

"Hey, we're just trying to give you a friendly reminder. It would be best if you didn't date Lin Ying. You could find out how awful she is before making any decisions, hahaha."

Hahahaha~

Tianye Muzi and the other two girls were clearly unhappy with Bai Yu's attitude and felt that she was in the wrong, so even after leaving, they wanted to expose the smears against Lin Ying.

But Bai Yu didn't care about any of that. He knew everything. Instead, he squatted down and rubbed Lin Ying's hand.

Her soft, boneless, and delicate hands were warm under the scorching summer sun. Her fair wrists bore faint red handprints from Jing Shen and Qing Lu's firm grip.

"Are you alright, boss lady?"

She offered gentle words of comfort, her voice tinged with an undisguised sense of guilt.

After all, he had deliberately invited those three damned women, Jing Shen Qinglu, Tian Ye Muzi, and Kato Xiying, but not only did it not achieve the desired effect, it also caused Lin Ying to suffer grievances and bullying for nothing.

Lin Ying, completely unaware of all this, simply smiled and shook her head, her eyes filled with the joy of being cared for.

This scene may seem heartwarming, but for Si Yu standing to the side, it was an unbearable and heartbreaking drama, and the more she watched, the more uncomfortable she felt.

"She's so pitiful, please show her some concern. It's nothing for me..."

A sour, sarcastic voice came over.

Turning around to look at Si Yu behind him, he saw that she was crossing her arms and looking towards the sea, but her captivating eyes were filled with tears.

One look at Bai Yu and you could tell that Si Yu was aggrieved. Although she couldn't be 100% sure why he was aggrieved, she could guess a little. After all, he was concerned about Lin Ying in front of her and ignored her. She had only wanted to love him, but he loved her alone. How could she not be sad?

The reason Si Yu, this yandere, hasn't gone crazy is because Bai Yu has bound her with various rules and regulations, as well as threats and inducements. If it were before, Si Yu would have gone mad long ago.

After comforting Lin Ying, Bai Yu had to turn around and also calm Si Yu down and stabilize her emotions.

Although this girl is usually carefree and always likes to call herself "older sister," she is actually very fragile inside. Perhaps she is a little better than Lin Ying, but definitely not much better.

He turned around, reached out and lifted Si Yu's chin, turning her pretty face to face him. However, she still looked away with a wronged and stubborn expression, refusing to look him in the eye.

"Sister Siyu, are you feeling wronged?"

Ask in a soft voice.

Si Yu did not give Bai Yu an answer and remained silent.

Seeing this, Bai Yu had no choice but to resort to some special methods.

"Sister Siyu, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to talk to me anymore? It will make me feel terrible if you don't want to talk to me. If it's because of me that you're upset, would you feel better if I died?"

After saying that, Bai Yu stretched out her hand, which had been cut on her wrist, and waved it in front of Si Yu's eyes, implying that she might cut her wrist again in the next second.

Seeing this, Si Yu dared not take Bai Yu's words as a joke at all; when she had an attack, she was sometimes not as bad as Bai Yu.

"No...no, I'm just upset because I saw you being so nice to that woman. I won't do it anymore, please don't scare me..."

Looking into Bai Yu's eyes, Si Yu's tears welled up. She felt very wronged and wanted to cry, but she was also afraid that Bai Yu would actually cut her wrists to comfort her.

"I'm sorry, Sister Siyu, I... I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I was just thinking about how you could get along well, and that I wouldn't show favoritism to anyone, but... but I'm so clumsy... I didn't do a good job..."

Looking into Si Yu's eyes with guilt, Bai Yu told her his truest feelings and what he wanted to do most. Perhaps Si Yu didn't want to hear it at all, and it even felt a bit like moral blackmail. But he just wanted to tell Si Yu some things clearly and openly, and he didn't want to hide anything from her.

How could Si Yu, who is born with a dependent and obsessive nature, possibly accept Lin Ying just because of a few simple words from Bai Yu? Moreover, this is only Lin Ying; there are also Qing Sisi, Murong Liyue, and Su Rongxue. The probability of them getting along harmoniously is almost impossible without major changes.

Of course, if you ask Bai Yu how to proceed in this situation, he doesn't necessarily want all five women to get along harmoniously, but he does require that the five women not scheme against or plot against each other, especially Murong Liyue.

If Su Rongxue, Si Yu, Qing Sisi, and Lin Ying are dangerous, then their danger is relatively superficial; at least they don't have deep schemes. But Murong Liyue is different. This girl is exceptional in terms of temperament, personality, and scheming.

Time flew by, and Bai Yu's original plan not only failed to achieve any results, but also backfired spectacularly, resulting in a huge loss.

The beach is definitely a romantic trip for a couple, but for Bai Yu, who has two fiancées who are constantly getting into trouble, it's a torment.

Take swimming for example. Both girls could swim, but they pretended not to and pretended to drown. But it turned out that Bai Yu was the one who couldn't swim at all. He was a complete landlubber and went into the water, which was a death sentence. As a result, the two girls had to swim over to save him.

While this indirectly balances things out, the risk factor is quite high.

Bai Yu spent the day at the beach. She couldn't say she wasn't happy, but she had to carry water the whole time, afraid that a single word or action would make someone think she was showing favoritism.

This unbiased question was simple for Bai Yu, but difficult for the misunderstanding. So he couldn't be happy at all that day; he was more in pain and happiness. After all, getting something back after losing it is something that would surely be incredibly moving and unforgettable.

As for whether Lin Ying and Si Yu were happy or not, Bai Yu's assessment was that the two wives were constantly bickering, both for good and bad reasons, and they were practically trying to drive each other crazy, completely ignoring any sense of joy.

The three of them went to the beach in the morning and didn't return home until it was almost dark in the afternoon.

It's Si Yu's turn to cook when she gets home tonight, so Lin Ying shouldn't disturb her.

After a few days, Bai Yu noticed that the two women were quite disciplined in their competitive spirit, trying to win the other side fairly. For example, when it came to cooking, no matter who was cooking the meal, the other person would never do anything wrong or sabotage it.

Although yanderes are difficult to deal with, it seems that yanderes who are inwardly entangled are relatively easier to deal with, at least that's how it is right now, sitting on the sofa watching Si Yu watching TV and cooking in the kitchen.

Time flew by, and the family of three sat down to eat. Although the description was a bit strange, it was indeed a family of three for Bai Yu.

Even though they don't have a marriage certificate or any other proof, in his heart they are already a family of three.

Perhaps things haven't gone as Bai Yu planned yet, but the two women have indeed kept their promise not to scheme against each other, even though they still don't like each other.

As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a child who cries every time, and there's no such thing as someone who loses every time they try. As long as Bai Yu continues to work hard, he believes that Si Yu and Lin Ying's attitudes towards each other will definitely improve.

We just need to hurry.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Next Move

In the stillness of the night—

After returning from the beach, Bai Yu ate dinner and went to bed early. He was exhausted every day, or to put it nicely, he was full.

She always had to think about how to balance things, both in her words and actions. Over time, it was bound to be tiring, but it was just that—tiring. Bai Yu never felt impatient.

He was asleep when it was late at night, but Lin Ying, his neighbor next door, couldn't sleep at all.

Perhaps the two girls were always too close, or rather, they were always evenly matched and wanted to quickly surpass each other in some aspect. So, tonight, after tossing and turning, Lin Ying came up with a bold idea: to launch a night raid on Bai Yu.

Lin Ying didn't use this tactic a few days ago because Bai Yu's body couldn't handle it, and she was also afraid that Bai Yu's weak body wouldn't be able to withstand the night attack.

But things are different now. Bai Yu, who has recovered for several days, is already lively and energetic again. Getting into trouble is a piece of cake, isn't it? Besides, the meals she and Si Yu usually cook are very nourishing.

In her previous life, Lin Ying clearly remembered the scene of being hugged and bullied by Bai Yu in the bathroom. Although it was bullied, she would always feel a strange sensation when she thought about it. The tingling and numb feeling all over her body was very strange and also a bit greedy.

Taking out her key, Lin Ying, wearing only a thin nightgown, opened her front door. The key in her hand was given to her by Bai Yu, so entering Bai Yu's house was an easy thing for her.

While it would be easy for Lin Ying to get in, there was one thing she had to be careful about: preventing Si Yu from discovering her.

If Si Yu discovers Bai Yu's night raid, then her plan will be ruined.

As she gently inserted the key into the lock and turned it to open the door, Lin Ying's heart skipped a beat with the sound of the doorknob turning.

The door opened with a crisp click, revealing a crack in the dark room. Although the room was somewhat dark, the summer moonlight shone in, preventing Lin Ying from being completely in the dark.

I tiptoed into the room, carefully stepping through the door, and closing it with extra gentleness and caution.

If Si Yu weren't here, Lin Ying wouldn't have been so careful, because she knew that Bai Yu was a very deep sleeper and that even the slightest noise wouldn't wake him up.

Of course, if Si Yu hadn't been there to compete with her, Lin Ying, with her timid and cowardly nature, certainly wouldn't have made such a night raid. Even if she had more courage, she would have thought twice about whether she dared to do it, whether it was okay, and whether she could wait.

Lin Ying took off her slippers as soon as she entered the house, and tiptoed with her fair, jade-like toes, quietly approaching Bai Yu's room like a cat hunting.

Reaching out to touch the doorknob, the icy touch made her already wary mind even more alert, and her gaze inadvertently drifted towards Si Yu's room.

Turning the doorknob, the door opened very easily.

Bai Yu's room wasn't as bright as the living room; instead, it was completely dark with the curtains drawn.

Even after getting used to the darkness of the night, what you can see in front of you is still very blurry.

Step by step, they approached Bai Yu's bed, bending down slightly to see his sleeping face.

Without making any unnecessary movements to disturb her, Lin Ying circled around to the other side of Bai Yu and carefully lay down.

Bai Yu would leave the air conditioner on all night, and the room would get chilly if you stayed in it for too long. So much so that Lin Ying would get into his blankets to warm up after lying down on the bed for a short while.

Lin Ying pressed her face close to Bai Yu's and gently reached out to hug Bai Yu's waist, but her outstretched hand accidentally slipped inside Bai Yu's shirt.

The slightly cool fingers touched his skin with a smooth, silky touch. Even though Bai Yu was sleeping very soundly, it didn't mean that his senses were dead.

Moreover, the smooth feeling of Lin Ying's fingers sliding on her lower abdomen was exceptionally gentle, as soft as a spring breeze or a winter sun, warming the heart and sweetening the dreams.

Bai Yu opened her eyes groggily. Because she had just woken up, her vision was still a little blurry and her mind was a little muddled.

However, when he clearly felt as if there were really two hands on his lower abdomen, and subconsciously reached out to grab those soft, boneless hands, Lin Ying's soft and sweet voice entered his ears.

"Bai Yujun, I like you..."

Lin Ying's voice already gave off a gentle and ladylike vibe, and with the added bonus of the language of the island nation, coupled with the tender "I like you" whispered in her ear, Bai Yu felt a little lightheaded at that moment.

Turning around to look into Lin Ying's eyes, he saw something like the brightest star in the night sky, its tiny lights revealing a love as still as water.

Just like Lin Ying's personality, she expresses love not through fanfare or by announcing it to the world, but by quietly enjoying the giving of love.

Without uttering a single romantic word, Bai Yu simply pressed his forehead against hers, giving her a light kiss in a natural and understated manner.

Her delicate, sweet, petal-like cherry lips were so comforting, and the feeling of kissing them was so intoxicating and fragrant. The faint cherry blossom scent in her hair was even more intoxicating and captivating.

What does it mean to have a waist that is as supple as if it had no bones? Bai Yu reaching out to stop Lin Ying's slender willow waist is the best proof of that.

Gently pulling him into her arms, his back was as soft and elastic as a fluffy marshmallow, and his smooth, flawless back made Bai Yu reluctant to let go of his embrace.

Because Lin Ying lay down, her long golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall, covering the entire pillow where she was sleeping. This must be the perfect description of hair as smooth and thick as a waterfall.

It's impossible for Bai Yu not to have any other thoughts while embracing Lin Ying. After all, no matter how reborn he is or how high his ideological awareness is, he is still just a hot-blooded young man. Moreover, if Lin Ying knew what bad things he was thinking, she certainly wouldn't object.

Of course, if Lin Ying had any objections, she certainly wouldn't have secretly run from the next room to her own house by herself, right?

However, he had to hold back at this moment, not because he didn't want to, nor because he felt it was wrong, but because he was afraid that the loud snoring would disturb Si Yu in the next room.

If Si Yu were to barge in and witness that scene, it would be impossible for this girl not to go crazy. So, it's okay to use her hands and mouth now, but we absolutely cannot play the "demon chicken" card.
