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

"Oh, I see, Auntie. Can Xiaoxue's phone make calls now?"

"Xiaoxue?...Oh, she can make phone calls now, you can call her."

With a hint of doubt, she whispered "Xiaoxue." Although Luo Er Ai Li was a little surprised that Bai Yu called her so affectionately, she didn't ask any further questions. She always preferred to let her daughter make her own decisions.

Bai Yu, however, did not notice Luo Er's soft questioning. After thanking her, she hung up the phone and called Su Rongxue.

It has been many days since he was reborn that he has not contacted Su Rongxue. The last time they contacted each other, it was Su Rongxue who took the initiative to reach out to him.

Of course, it wasn't that Bai Yu didn't want to contact the girl, but he felt that it would be too risky to have excessive contact with the other three women before Si Yu and Lin Ying, who were the most stable, had settled down.

But now that Su Rongxue has contacted him so many times and he hasn't received any calls, if he pretends not to see them, it would not only seem a bit excessive, but Bai Yu himself would also feel guilty.

Bai Yu dialed Su Rongxue's number, and the call was answered in less than five seconds.

Su Rongxue had actually been waiting for Bai Yu's call all night. After her phone broke, she repeatedly dialed Bai Yu's number several times using her mother's phone, but Bai Yu didn't answer. So she just sat there alone, waiting.

In her previous life, she would video chat with Bai Yu every day at this time, but recently that hasn't happened. It's not that she doesn't want to, but that she's afraid.

When she saw Bai Yu, she felt like crying, and she also wanted to hold hands, hug, and cuddle with him.

But besides normal dependency behaviors and feelings, she also has many extreme ideas.

Because she possessed memories of her previous two lives, she both loved and hated Bai Yu; the more she loved him, the more she hated him.

She wanted to hold hands, but after holding hands, she wanted to chop off Bai Yu's hand and wouldn't let go. After hugging, she wanted to kill him and then kept hugging and sticking to him. It was a state where the devil and the angel were fused into one person.

However, Su Rongxue was well aware that once she did these things, she was destined to regret them and feel as empty as she had in her previous life.

What she wanted was a warm hand to hold tightly, a hand that could guide her on her travels, not a cold hand that could take her nowhere.

Therefore, many of her extreme ideas conflicted with her own wishes. Because she had memories of two lifetimes, she knew that her actions would definitely make her regret it, so she didn't dare to contact Bai Yu easily.

It's better if they don't contact each other, but once they do, they just keep dialing and dialing. If they can't get through, they spend the whole night thinking about why Bai Yu isn't answering the phone, whether she's with another girl, whether she's forgotten about them, whether she doesn't like them at all, and other negative thoughts.

Bai Yu was unaware of these things. He still believed that Su Rongxue only had memories from before this stage and had not activated them like Si Yu and Lin Ying.

After the call was answered, Bai Yu heard Su Rongxue's soft and weak voice.

"White Rain..."

It was just a very soft and gentle call, but it made Bai Yu tremble all over.

Although I knew for sure that I would see Su Rongxue again and hear her voice again, I still couldn't stop my heart from trembling at the thought of seeing, hearing, and feeling her voice again.

If Bai Yu felt ashamed and guilty for leaving Qing Sisi, Si Yu, and Lin Ying, then her guilt towards Su Rongxue was a self-reproach for choosing to abandon her when she could have made amends.

The feeling is completely different. The one who loses knows how to cherish the one who still cares for him, and his selfishness continues to spread invisibly until his death.

In Bai Yu's view, if Su Rongxue had any memories, they must be of a deep-seated longing and hatred for him.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Hate and Love

"Xiaoxue..."

Bai Yu responded to Su Rongxue's voice involuntarily, very softly, with a hint of loneliness and heartache in her voice.

This wasn't Bai Yu's own feeling of loneliness, but rather a reflection of Su Rongxue's sense of loss and loneliness after learning of her departure in her previous life.

This girl is very dependent on me. She's indecisive, which makes her a bit clumsy but also cute. But will she be able to get used to not having me by her side?

"Bai Yu, I...I miss you a little..."

The voice was soft and intermittent, but it was this gentle voice that made Bai Yu's nose tingle.

"miss me?"

With a hint of doubt in her question, Bai Yu confirmed the information.

He knew that Su Rongxue was not very brave. She would appear timid and weak in front of anyone. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to express her longing, and it was also the first time in both her lives. It must have taken a lot of courage.

"I miss...I miss you..."

Su Rongxue responded, her voice still soft and gentle, yet firm and resolute.

She could only hear her voice but couldn't see her petite figure, yet Bai Yu could already picture her in cartoon pajamas, looking childish, cute, shy, and nervous.

"I'll come to see you in a few days. I promised you I would."

"Ah."

She responded with a soft "hmm," and then their conversation ended in such a strange way.

Actually, it wasn't that there was nothing more to talk about, because Su Rongxue had so much to say, but all those words just ended up being exhaled and vanished like smoke.

She hated Bai Yu so much that she would often curl up in bed and cry quietly, and she wished she could stab him every second. But she also loved Bai Yu, and she was afraid that her hatred would overshadow her love for him, and she was afraid that getting close to him would lead to uncontrollable harm.

Sometimes having more memories isn't a good thing, at least not for Su Rongxue; it could even be said to be extremely bad.

Extreme thoughts and love for Bai Yu would constantly resist and reject each other, making every day a torment for her. So she controlled her dependence and her desire to see Bai Yu in order to resist her darkening self.

Bai Yu still doesn't know any of this. To him, Su Rongxue is still that innocent girl, as pure as a blank sheet of paper, naive and timid.

Both of them were holding their phones, but neither of them spoke first.

The silence lasted for a full minute before Su Rongxue finally hung up the phone.

Yes, it was on this day that he hung up the phone first, and it was also the first time in three lifetimes that he had hung up on Bai Yu without saying a word.

Bai Yu was actually quite annoyed with himself for remaining silent for so long, but he also knew very well that Su Rongxue, who was simple and kind, might take every word he said seriously and believe it deeply, so he dared not speak casually.

As a result, his reluctance to act casually led to Su Rongxue's first silence and rejection.

Squatting in the corner of the bed, Su Rongxue curled up and hugged her legs, crying after hanging up the phone. She cried very softly, but her delicate body was convulsing with sobs.

The mix of love and hate drove Su Rongxue, who had been struggling and resisting, almost to madness.

She longed to see Bai Yu, yet she was also afraid of him. She wanted him to hold her close, but she was also afraid that she would be unable to resist hurting him.

The complex and unpredictable emotions were truly tormenting and devastating for Su Rongxue every minute and every second; she was just like a mental patient.

She hadn't thought of telling Bai Yu any of this, nor did she want to. When she answered the phone, she only said that she missed Bai Yu, which was also her determination to overcome hatred with love.

As for Bai Yu, whose call had just been disconnected, he hadn't even had time to analyze why Su Rongxue was acting this way when he saw Qing Sisi make a WeChat video call.

He subconsciously reached out to answer the girl's call, and then saw a face with a playful smile appear on the screen after the phone went black.

"Senior~"

The opening line, "Senior will always be young," sung with a smile, is also the most profound and beautiful way this girl addresses Bai Yu.

"Sisi, why did you suddenly start video chatting so early in the morning? Are you lacking energy from your senior and trying to replenish it?"

"Hey! How did you know, senior?"

Looking at Qing Sisi, who was jumping up and down and playing along with her performance, Bai Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "Nan Nan."

"Do you think I don't know you're a delusional teenager? Tell me, how do you need me to supplement that?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Sisi immediately perked up. She placed her phone flat and quickly stepped back a few paces, revealing her upper and lower body up to her thighs before replying.

"I want to ask you, senior, how my cosplay is today, and whether you like the outfit?"

Bai Yu hadn't noticed Qing Sisi's cosplay at all until she got some distance away. Only now did she realize that the girl was wearing a police uniform.

Normally, this kind of police uniform wouldn't look like anything special, but Qing Sisi has a very girlish and playful appearance, so wearing this uniform makes her look quite gruesome.

Although Bai Yu was happy to see Qing Sisi, she was still wondering why Su Rongxue had hung up on her.

But now, seeing this girl in her shackles, he was instantly overwhelmed.

Although it's not the first time I've seen black stockings, this combination of police uniform and black stockings gives off a completely different vibe.

"Senior...do you think this looks good...does it look good on me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qing Sisi tiptoed and slowly twirled around in the video, looking both careful and beautiful.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu shuddered and sat up straight in response.

"She looks good in everything, Sisi looks really good."

Seeing Bai Yu suddenly sit up and give a serious answer, Qing Sisi was actually a little unaccustomed to it.

After all, Bai Yu used to scold her a lot. Although he was very gentle and affectionate the last two times, she still felt uncomfortable.

"Senior...you said it looks good, so...would you like to punish me a little? There are handcuffs here..."

Holding up the pink, fluffy handcuffs, Qing Sisi might not know that these handcuffs were not as simple as they looked, but Bai Yu, the seasoned veteran, knew very well.

These handcuffs with their atmospheric colors are definitely the kind of toys adults play with. I don't know how this girl bought them. Did she just buy them because she thought they looked nice?

Thinking of this, Bai Yu subconsciously asked a question.

"Where did you buy your handcuffs? They're so pink!"

"She bought it online~ Isn't it pretty?"

After saying that, Qing Sisi even held it up to the camera for Bai Yu to see up close. The more he looked at it, the more certain he became that this thing was an adult toy.

Chapter Sixty-Five: My Beloved

"Ahem, Sisi, why don't you put these handcuffs down first? Let's talk about something... like how your cosplay outfit is really pretty, okay?"

Bai Yu knew very well that Qing Sisi hadn't been taken down by her yet; she was just a woman with a lot of empty words. She might be able to say a lot of wild and inappropriate things, but she would still be very afraid if she actually did something.

"Senior...can I see my name?"

"all right."

Without hesitation, Bai Yu lifted her shirt to reveal the three characters "青丝丝" (qing si si) etched on her chest.

Although several days have passed and the wound has almost healed, the three-word mark is still very clear.

However, Lin Ying and Si Yu had both seen these three words before, but neither of them questioned them, because they both knew who Qing Sisi was and her story.

"Senior, let me show you my crush too~"

The sweet words had barely left her lips when Qing Sisi lifted her shirt, revealing half of her snow-white skin covered by the crookedly tattooed characters "Bai Yu".

This wasn't the first time Bai Yu had seen his name etched on the girl's chest, so he didn't react with surprise. Instead, he smiled, kissed his phone screen, and openly expressed his feelings.

"I really want to bite into the name of the person I love."

Upon hearing this, Qing Sisi was no match for Bai Yu's blatant teasing. With just one sentence, she became even more embarrassed, wanting to disappear into the ground.

"Senior...Senior..."

Her sweet, delicate voice clearly revealed the girl's shy and bashful emotions.
