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

Clenching her teeth as she looked at Bai Yu, Si Yu wanted to say something as forceful as "it's either her or me," but when her gaze inadvertently fell on the wound on his wrist, she dared not say it.

She really wanted to possess Bai Yu all to herself, but she was even more afraid that Bai Yu might do something rash and leave.

It's already incredible that life can be lived again, something no one dares to imagine, yet it has come true. But can one start over after losing it again?

No one dares to gamble on this kind of problem, and no one is willing to gamble on it, just like no one would consider what happens after death; it is unsolvable.

Looking into Bai Yu's eyes, Si Yu could feel his sadness at her grievances, but the more he felt this way, the more upset she became. Why should he care about others when he cared so much about himself?

Yandere are possessive creatures, but that doesn't mean they can't be treated.

Just like Si Yu, Bai Yu actually knew her weaknesses in her previous life: she liked babies, wanted a family, and wanted absolute trust.

Bai Yu is only giving her one of three things: trust.

The reason it's described as trust rather than absolute trust is that without the first two conditions, absolute trust would be impossible for Si Yu, even if Bai Yu were to openly share all her assets and secrets.

So his plan was to give Si Yu absolute trust, and the first thing he needed to do was address the baby issue.

As for Lin Ying, her requirements are not high at all. Just love and respect her, and treat everyone equally without showing favoritism.

Because of her deep-seated inferiority complex since childhood, her demands only seemed very high to herself, but from Bai Yu's perspective, they still appeared so humble.

Among the five women, Lin Ying is the least suitable for dating because she never surprises people, doesn't arrange romance, and doesn't have the coquettishness of a girl from a modest family. However, she is the most suitable to be a wife.

She is virtuous, dignified, elegant, and reserved. She never causes trouble or makes a fuss, and she manages everything at home perfectly.

Perhaps this part reflects the customs of women from small island nations, but it is more about Lin Ying's own personality, temperament, and habits.

Bai Yu stood inside the door, Si Yu stood by the door, and Lin Ying stood outside the door. None of the three spoke. After a long stalemate, it was finally Lin Ying, who was not good with words, who spoke first.

"Bai Yujun, I won't go in. I can rent a place somewhere else to live..."

After speaking, Lin Ying turned her gaze to Si Yu, her eyes filled with displeasure. It wasn't that she simply disliked Si Yu, but rather that she disliked Si Yu's blatant attempts to make things difficult for Bai Yu.

Chapter Seventy-Five: The Feud Escalates

Like Lin Ying, Si Yu didn't quite understand what she was saying, but the emotion in Si Yu's eyes was enough for her to understand a great deal of dissatisfaction.

The two women already had grievances against each other, and on top of that, there was the language barrier, which obviously made it even more difficult for them to understand and accept each other.

"Boss lady, I'll take you to find a place to stay later, wait for me."

After turning to Lin Ying and saying this, Bai Yu turned her gaze back to Si Yu and spoke gently.

"Sister Siyu, I understand the grievances in your heart. Perhaps you are still hesitant to trust me, or perhaps you think that someone like me is not worthy of your trust at all. But... my love for you has never changed. You can feel that, can't you?"

After he finished speaking, Bai Yu stepped forward and tried to reach out and hold Si Yu's hand to comfort him, but as soon as he reached out, Si Yu put his hand behind his back.

Women, when they're angry, seem to all be the same: they all swing their arms. If you try to pull her away when she's angry, she'll swing her arm away.

Bai Yu felt that Si Yu was actually being somewhat restrained, since she had been enduring it all along and should have been more aggrieved and angry than she appeared.

"I'm sorry, Sister Siyu. You know everything about the boss's background. I know you want to say that her affairs have nothing to do with you, but her affairs do concern me. I don't want to be the selfish person I was in my previous life, nor do I want to be filled with regrets again. Can you give me a chance to make amends?"

Si Yu turned her back to Bai Yu and gently clenched her fist. She really wanted to lose her temper, wanted to pick something up and hit Bai Yu, and even wanted to hurt herself to gain Bai Yu's sympathy and force him to leave Lin Ying.

But she held back time and time again, not because her dependency disorder had healed, but because she was more aware that her behavior might cause Bai Yu to do something even more terrible.

If Si Yu simply wanted to possess Bai Yu instead of genuinely loving her, perhaps she wouldn't have cared so much. After all, it's strange for a yandere to have so many concerns, but true love can indeed lead her to do things differently to resist a yandere.

When she wanted to hurt herself, the image that came to mind was Bai Yu cutting her wrists and smiling as she waited to die in front of her. This image was even a recurring scene in her nightmares.

This situation led Si Yu to want to possess Bai Yu exclusively, but she was even more afraid of losing her than of possessing her.

Bai Yu must have known this after spending so much time with Si Yu. If it weren't for this, Si Yu wouldn't have been able to endure it for so long until today.

"She clearly loves me, so why is she still so good to me? Why should I care about her affairs? Can't she live without you?"

Biting her lip, Si Yu looked at Bai Yu with tears in her eyes, but even so, she did not do anything rash.

Their eyes met, and Bai Yu felt a pang of sadness. He didn't want Si Yu to feel wronged, but his fate was no longer one he had chosen for himself. He only wanted to live for the sake of the five women and make amends to them.

Si Yu might find it hard to understand his thoughts, since no one else would understand them, and might even think he was a complete scumbag, a lunatic, and an egomaniac.

But reality forced Bai Yu to do this, and it was also his own idea to do it.

"Sister Siyu...can you live without me?"

Bai Yu hesitated before uttering those words, but they sent a shiver down Si Yu's spine.

She clenched her fist tightly, and because of the force, her nails dug into her palm, causing her to involuntarily furrow her brows in pain.

"What do you think?"

Looking into Bai Yu's eyes, Si Yu spoke softly, yet the undeniable authority in his tone was palpable.

"Sister Siyu, actually Lin Ying is just like you. If you were to abandon her for your sake, why would she abandon the place she's lived since childhood and come here with me?"

Bai Yu didn't say it too bluntly, but Si Yu could clearly understand the meaning behind her words.

However, despite understanding the situation, she still didn't intend to accept Lin Ying; at least, she couldn't bear the thought of it.

Squatting down, Si Yu knew very well that if she forced Bai Yu, Bai Yu would disregard death. But if she didn't force her, she would feel terrible, so terrible that she wanted to die. In the end, this feeling of grievance and helplessness left her with no choice but to cry.

Looking down at Si Yu, who was crouching down and hugging her legs, sobbing, Bai Yu turned around and glanced at Lin Ying, who was still standing silently at the door, before slowly crouching down to comfort her.

"Sister Siyu, if you... if you can't accept someone like me, who's like trash, with all your advantages, you could actually choose someone more..."

pop~

Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, Si Yu looked up at him fiercely and slapped him across the face.

This was the first time Si Yu had slapped Bai Yu in the face, and the force was not weak at all. Even Bai Yu, who had such a thick skin, had a faint red handprint on his face.

"What do you want me to choose? Why should I have to choose? Don't you want me anymore?"

After asking the three fatal questions, she stared at Bai Yu with extreme grievance in her eyes, while Bai Yu remained squatting there motionless.

Si Yu's slap caught him off guard, and his face stung with pain. But he didn't think Si Yu had done anything wrong. Instead, he felt a sense of satisfaction, as if he deserved to be beaten by her.

Bai Yu could accept it, and even felt that he deserved to be slapped, but Lin Ying could not.

For Lin Ying, no one is allowed to bully Bai Yu. If anyone bullies him, she is willing to risk her life to kill him.

bump!

A sound of a suitcase being overturned rang out, and the next moment Bai Yu turned around to see Lin Ying's suitcase slide over and land at Si Yu's feet.

It should be said that Lin Ying threw the suitcase towards Si Yu, but because the suitcase was quite heavy, it could only slide over. Otherwise, if the suitcase, which weighed nearly a hundred kilograms, had hit Si Yu, it would have been terrible.

It's a long story, but actually, Bai Yu immediately realized that Lin Ying was angry when she saw the suitcase placed in front of Si Yu.

She hurriedly stood up from the ground, turned around and reached out to grab Lin Ying's arm. At this moment, Lin Ying's eyes were filled with only ruthlessness and extreme anger towards Si Yu.

Bai Yu was the only light in her heart; she could be swallowed by darkness, but not by light.

"Bai Yujun, why did she hit you? No one should bully you..."

Biting her lip, Lin Ying tried to break free from Bai Yu's grasp, but Si Yu, instead of dodging, got up and ran into the kitchen to get a cleaver. The driver showed no intention of shooing Lin Ying.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Things Got Too Far

Bai Yu thought everything would be fine since he was holding Lin Ying's hand, but Si Yu suddenly got up and grabbed a kitchen knife, which terrified him.

"Hey! Sister Siyu, calm down."

"Boss lady, she's not what you think. She's not bullying me. Don't be impulsive."

Bai Yu was trying to persuade Lin Ying while also trying to persuade Si Yu.

But this time things weren't as simple as he thought.

If the two women were able to get along so well in the small island country, it was mostly due to Lin Ying's voluntary compromise, aside from Bai Yu's coercion.

Lin Ying compromised because of Bai Yu, but now that Bai Yu has been beaten, and by a woman she doesn't even like, Lin Ying's brutal emotions immediately surfaced.

Once this emotion took hold, Lin Ying's originally gentle blue eyes were filled with indifference, and her mind was filled with only the thought of killing Si Yu.

When Lin Ying, who is gentle and considerate to the extreme, has an episode of her illness, she can become extremely violent.

Bai Yu was her Achilles' heel. In fact, if Bai Yu had just been hit once, it wouldn't have made her so angry. But last time, Bai Yu almost died from cutting her wrists. That time was also because of Si Yu. She had endured it because of Bai Yu's persuasion, but she had been forcing herself to endure it. Now, this slap was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. She really couldn't bear it anymore.

How much affection does Si Yu actually have for Lin Ying?

To her, Lin Ying was just a packaged, obedient girl who always tried to compete with her, as if she had to show Bai Yu that she was better than her. She was so scheming that she hated her.

Besides that, what Si Yu found most unbearable was that every time she talked to Bai Yu, Bai Yu would subconsciously look at Lin Ying while considering her feelings. Why should she share the love?

The conflict between the two women seemed to have eased considerably in the small island nation, but their underlying tensions had been accumulating and had now completely erupted.

At this moment, all Lin Ying wanted was to kill Si Yu, and wasn't Si Yu's act of taking out the kitchen knife an attempt to make Lin Ying lie down?

While standing in the middle, Bai Yu was pulling Lin Ying back and also blocking Si Yu to prevent her from actually slashing with the knife.

Although he was stronger than both women, the two women, who were in a violent state, were not easy to stop, especially since Si Yu had a weapon in his hand.

"Stop, stop, stop! Please calm down, I beg you."

With her arms outstretched, Bai Yu stood at the door and gripped the threshold tightly, using her body to block Lin Ying and Si Yu from entering and exiting the doorway respectively, her words filled with pleading.

But he could hold them off for a while, not forever. The conflict between the two women had reached its worst stage. If one of them wasn't handled properly, one of them would definitely fall ill, or worse, leave this world.

Just as Bai Yu was trying to think of a way to stop the two women from killing each other, Si Yu had already raised his knife and aimed it at the gap in Bai Yu's body, which was spread out in a starfish shape, and threw the kitchen knife at Lin Ying.

A loud clang rang out as the kitchen knife slammed to the ground. If Si Yu hadn't been worried about hurting Bai Yu, the knife would have definitely landed on Lin Ying.

When Lin Ying saw that Si Yu had thrown the kitchen knife at her but missed, she turned around and picked it up, but she seemed even angrier.

Bai Yu was standing there, such a big person, how dare she throw a knife? I was afraid of hurting Bai Yu, so I chose to stand back a little, but she didn't care about any of that. Isn't she a damned woman?

Gripping the cleaver handle tightly, Lin Ying's already fair fingers turned even paler from gripping it so hard.

Even though the knife missed Lin Ying Siyu, she didn't hesitate. She turned around and went back to the kitchen to get a fruit knife.

All she could think about now was killing Lin Ying, so that Lin Ying would no longer interfere with her relationship with Bai Yu. She didn't want to think about anything else.

Originally, both women were very gentle and mild-mannered, and Bai Yu was the one who could understand them the most. But now that both women seemed so violent, experiencing it up close was terrifying.

"Everyone, calm down, don't..."

Bai Yu had just started to persuade him when, before she knew it, Lin Ying pulled her hand away. Lin Ying was quite strong and pulled her out of the door frame.

In that brief moment of relaxation, Lin Ying rushed in.

He rushed across the threshold, raised the kitchen knife in his hand, and slashed at Si Yu's head with it, a blow he had no intention of leaving alive.

Si Yu was not to be trifled with either. As soon as Lin Ying entered, he thrust the fruit knife in his hand toward her neck.
