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

Lin Ying made breakfast yesterday, so it's Si Yu's turn to make it this morning. The two women take turns making it.

"This morning, your sister made you some veal steak, warm milk, and eggs. Is that okay?"

"Sure, of course you can! Sister Siyu knows exactly what I like to eat. I love you so much!"

Upon hearing this, Si Yu, with her back to Bai Yu, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Lin Ying, who was cleaning up nearby, couldn't understand Bai Yu's words, but Si Yu was laughing at her because she wasn't blind or deaf.

Lin Ying looked up and gave Bai Yu a deep look. She wanted to say that she could also make breakfast, but at this moment, such words seemed so powerless.

After all, it wasn't her turn to make breakfast today, and once the rules were established, she wouldn't break them.

Bai Yu must have noticed that Lin Ying was looking at him, after all, he had to make up for the water that this girl hadn't been handling properly today.

While Lin Ying was mopping the floor and returning to the bathroom, Bai Yu got up and followed her without Si Yu noticing.

Lin Ying had just stepped into the restroom when Bai Yu followed her in.

As soon as they entered, Bai Yu stepped forward and hugged Lin Ying's slender waist from behind, whispering in her ear.

"Boss lady, why are you so quiet today? Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you tell me why?"

Lin Ying was so startled by Bai Yu's sudden hug from behind that she almost dropped the mop she was holding.

"Hmm... Bai Yu-jun?"

Lin Ying turned her head slightly to look at Bai Yu behind her, her eyes showing surprise as well as a hint of deep sadness.

She was surprised because Bai Yu suddenly followed her into the bathroom and hugged her, and saddened because she felt the injustice and Bai Yu's favoritism towards Si Yu.

"Boss lady, how about we check out a love hotel nearby around midnight?"

"Ok?"

Lin Ying widened her bright blue eyes slightly, mainly because Bai Yu's words right from the start were quite unexpected and surprising.

After all, Bai Yu in her previous life was never so proactive; on the contrary, he always deliberately kept a certain distance from her.

Although Bai Yu has been much more proactive in this life, being this proactive all at once still makes her feel somewhat uncomfortable for a short period of time.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ying snapped out of her awkward state and quickly waved her hand in response.

"No, no, it has to be late...night?"

Bai Yu was surprised, but the problem was that when this girl waved her hand and asked a question in return, she was completely stumped.

He felt that telling Lin Ying that they would go to a hotel together that night would definitely surprise her, and it did work. But her question was absurd: Does it have to be at night? It doesn't necessarily have to be at night, does it?

"Um...madam, although it doesn't necessarily have to be at night, isn't it more convenient at night? Who sleeps during the day?"

Turning to look at Bai Yu, Lin Ying gazed at him gently with her calm, watery eyes, and after a long while, she whispered a question in return.

"Then will you... leave?"

Bai Yu had imagined that Lin Ying would ask her many questions and say all sorts of things later, but she never expected her to ask such a question out of the blue.

Will you leave?

These four simple words were the worst thing Bai Yu had ever done in her previous life.

After all, he suddenly chose to leave after his ambiguous relationship with Lin Ying had reached a certain point. Although they had made a promise in April, it was a promise that could never be fulfilled.

"I won't leave. Even if I have to leave, I'll take you with me."

Lin Ying nodded, appearing very calm.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Bai Yu, but she was willing to accept whatever Bai Yu did, because she was afraid that it would make her very sad. Wasn't abandoning her and choosing to leave also a choice for Bai Yu?

"Bai Yujun, is there anything I need to bring tonight?"

"No need, just bring yourself along."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ying frowned slightly, then pointed to her lower abdomen and said with a slight blush.

"Aren't we going to take precautions? What if... what if...?"

“It’s okay. I’m willing to take responsibility no matter what happens. If we have one, we’ll raise it. If we don’t, we can rebuild it anytime.”

Bai Yu's words made Lin Ying's already somewhat embarrassed face turn even redder.

He gently tiptoed, raised his chin, and kissed Bai Yu's lips.

Feeling Lin Ying's initiative, Bai Yu reached out and pulled her into his arms, giving her a deep kiss.

He slowly reached down and lifted Lin Ying up, placing her on the washbasin. The two kissed more and more passionately, clearly ignoring the presence of Si Yu outside.

Bai Yu reached out and slowly closed the bathroom door, then kissed Lin Ying's fair, swan-like neck from her cherry blossom-red lips.

Bai Yu's bold actions did not elicit any response from Lin Yingnai, who seemed to show the slightest reluctance.

At this moment, she was like a delicate doll, completely at Bai Yu's mercy.

Just as Bai Yu felt himself getting more and more into it, and his hands began to uncontrollably want to explore the deeper secrets, he heard Si Yu's slow footsteps approaching outside the door.

The approaching footsteps instantly snapped him back to reality, and Bai Yu didn't even have time to release Lin Ying.

Seeing Lin Ying's flushed face, Bai Yu reached out and rubbed her cheeks, as if rubbing them would make them less red.

Kata~

Si Yu pushed open the bathroom door and immediately saw Bai Yu and Lin Ying standing face to face.

Although their movements had returned to normal, Lin Ying's flushed face remained unchanged.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Boiling a Frog in Slow Water

"Do you all need to use the restroom?"

Si Yu looked at Bai Yu and Lin Ying with a hint of doubt.

"No, I just... I just wanted to talk to Lin Ying about something."

Bai Yu gave an explanation with a slightly embarrassed smile, but the explanation was obviously a bit perfunctory.

"Just say what you have to say, why do you have to talk behind closed doors?"

"Maybe...maybe I closed the door by accident. I didn't even notice how the bathroom door closed, hahaha..."

Hearing Bai Yu's clumsy explanation, Si Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him in annoyance.

Anyone would know that a man and a woman alone together with the door closed is unlikely to be anything good, especially since Bai Yu can't tell what they've done, but Lin Ying's face is still flushed.

From this one detail, Si Yu roughly knew what the two might be planning to do, but she didn't show it, nor did she easily lose control of herself as she usually did. Instead, she just felt a little uncomfortable.

This actually shows that Si Yu is gradually beginning to adapt to the environment where Lin Ying has intruded into his and Bai Yu's lives.

People are the type who can't handle too much stimulation, but if the stimulation increases slowly every day and every second, they may not even know when they have started to accept it, just like a frog being boiled in warm water, and they can't climb out without realizing it.

Si Yu is in a situation just like this. She can't accept Lin Ying, but Bai Yu forces her to suppress her illness. Every day, she thinks about how to beat Lin Ying and take the lead.

Over time, the two women may still be at odds, but while they may not be able to accept things they couldn't before, they can face them more calmly now.

Bai Yu himself hadn't thought of these things. After all, he had been reborn several times, but there were still some things he couldn't consider or knew.

Just like the two women's positive and competitive spirit and Si Yu's gradual adaptation, these were all things that Bai Yu hadn't expected to go so smoothly.

His plan was to have Lin Ying or Si Yu increase their trust and feelings for each other through some event, but none of these plans worked. Instead, it was more effective for the two women to work together and adapt on their own.

It's true that human calculations are no match for divine calculations, and even divine calculations can't always be accurate.

"Dinner's ready."

Si Yu glanced at Lin Ying, then reached out and tugged at Bai Yu's arm before turning and leaving.

As Si Yu, wearing a black bodycon skirt that revealed her long, snow-white legs, strode away, Bai Yu didn't dare to be negligent. She turned around, glanced at Lin Ying, and quickly whispered a reminder.

"Boss lady, it was supposed to be 12 o'clock."

After saying that, Bai Yu made an "OK" sign to indicate whether Lin Ying understood before leaving.

Seeing this, Lin Ying nodded awkwardly. Although she understood that Bai Yu wanted to do something that night, she was already starting to feel nervous.

Clutching her pounding heart, Lin Ying's mind began to wander to things that might happen or not happen decades from now.

However, no matter how many ideas you have, they are still just ideas. Ten thousand ideas are not as practical as one action.

The three sat around a table. If Lin Ying cooked all three meals today, Si Yu would not eat her food. If Si Yu cooked, Lin Ying would not eat it either.

This situation lasted for two days at the beginning, and it was definitely not a good thing for it to continue like this. People who don't sit at the same table can never become a family.

Bai Yu usually devised many grand plans to enhance the relationship between the two women, but none of them succeeded. However, a few of his smaller schemes did come to fruition, such as the matter of having a meal together.

Lin Ying usually listens to Bai Yu, and this kind of "neither of us will give in" behavior between the two women is definitely not acceptable, so one of them has to take the initiative to back down.

When it came to the task of yielding, Bai Yu naturally thought of Lin Ying. She yielded by cooking and inviting Si Yu to eat once, which provided a breakthrough.

Of course, even though Lin Ying was unhappy, she still agreed to Bai Yu's request. Bai Yu also knew that this girl would definitely be unhappy, so he gave Si Yu the kiss he hadn't given her that day as compensation. He managed to keep things balanced.

Lin Ying had invited Si Yu to dinner once, and Si Yu, as expected, didn't go. But when it was Si Yu's turn to cook, she wouldn't give up and would definitely invite Lin Ying to dinner. At that time, Lin Ying would take the initiative to eat. So when Si Yu saw that Lin Ying wanted to eat the food she cooked, she stopped being polite to Lin Ying. She would eat what Lin Ying cooked, otherwise she would be at a loss.

Over time, the two women naturally resolved the issue of not eating each other's cooking.

Although it seems simple, the main reason is that Lin Ying was willing to cooperate in performing this act. Otherwise, if they really went head-to-head and neither of them would back down, the only result would be mutual destruction and a loss.

The three of them were having breakfast early in the morning. Bai Yu sat between the two women with her head down and didn't say a word, while Lin Ying and Si Yu also didn't have anything to talk about.

It's not time for school to start yet, so the three of them usually just play or lie around.

You used to be able to go to Lin Ying's dessert shop, but recently, after completing the procedures for going abroad, the dessert shop was sold.

So the three of them could only stay at home listening to music and reading books, or watching TV series, since they didn't go out to play. As long as the two girls didn't argue, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Time flies, and a day can pass quickly or slowly. Bai Yu took a nap at noon and woke up at five o'clock in the afternoon.

After all, I didn't sleep well last night, so I need to catch up on my sleep, otherwise I won't have the energy to carry out my mission tonight.

In a few days, Bai Yu plans to go back to China to see Qing Sisi, and also bring Lin Ying, who will be getting her exit permit in the next few days, along with her.

Although Lin Ying didn't personally tell her teacher about her intention to drop out of university, for the wealthy young woman Lin Ying, the things she could learn at university were things she could learn regardless of whether she went to university or not, so there was no need to deliberately wait.

As for Bai Yu herself, she can just contact her teacher after returning to China and tell him that she is no longer an exchange student. As for the money she paid, she can only reluctantly give it up, since it is nothing compared to what Lin Ying and the others have.

Another point is that if they return to China later, Bai Yu is afraid that Lin Ying's younger brother, Fujiwara Ishizo, will cause trouble again. It's better to return sooner rather than later.
