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

Nodding, Bai Yu did not deny it. As for Qing Sisi's aggressive and yandere personality, what needs to be done to her is definitely not to threaten or oppress her. It is not as simple as Lin Ying and Si Yu's relationship, where they started from initial rejection to now being somewhat willing to accept each other.

For someone like her who is capable of actually using violence, Bai Yu has to use a combination of gentle persuasion and slightly unpleasant tactics to get her to calm down or try to contact Si Yu and Lin Ying.

Of course, Bai Yu must have planned this method beforehand.

However, the implementation of this plan requires the cooperation of some people, such as Qing Sisi's brother, Qing Siling.

Bai Yu knew very well that as long as Qing Siling didn't go too far or cross his bottom line, he would be more willing to listen to him. It wasn't because Bai Yu was so capable, but simply because his sister liked him.

This plan also requires Qing Siling's participation. It may cause them to become enemies or even fight after the event, but this is a last resort.

To put it bluntly, all of this was a last resort to ensure that Qing Sisi could live a better life without having to leave him.

Of course, Bai Yu wouldn't really go too far; he would just take advantage of Qing Siling and Qing Sisi's relationship and their trust.

"Sisi, there is something I really want to say to you. It's not a confession, nor is it telling you what I think is right like before. I just want to say that life is rarely perfect. No matter how thoughtful we are or how serious we are, there will still be regrets and shortcomings."

With a slight frown, Qing Sisi felt that there was a contradiction in Bai Yu's words.

Even though I told myself I wouldn't talk to myself about the principles I thought were right, I still keep talking about those principles that sound like they're true.

"Senior, didn't you say you wouldn't talk about those principles you think are correct? Why are you still talking about these same principles?"

"Because this isn't a logic, it's just something I want to tell you, something that applies to everyone."

Bai Yu gave Qing Sisi a meaningful look. The reason she said that was to make the girl understand that life is not perfect. She was afraid that no matter how well she did or how well she did, there would still be some regrets and resentment.

Just like how Bai Yu couldn't let go of any of Si Yu, Su Rongxue, Qing Sisi, Murong Liyue, and Lin Ying, wasn't her inability to let go a source of regret and resentment for each of them individually?

"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand. Now that the senior is at my house, how about we play games together? Or... do we want to see him cosplay?"

She gently stepped back two steps from Bai Yu's embrace, put her hands behind her back, bent down slightly to look at Bai Yu, and revealed a sweet smile with her pretty face flushed.

Seeing this, Bai Yu did not refuse and nodded with a smile to indicate that she could.

All that's needed for this girl is to carry out the plan and take it slow with gentle persuasion. Si Yu and Lin Ying are relatively stable for now, so there's no need for too much interference. We just need to wait for time to work things out.

If we go back later, Bai Yu can go find Murong Liyue the next day and also contact Qing Siling to put the plan into action.

Perhaps it is indeed difficult to face four girls at once, but in a few days he still has to go to Su Rongxue, which is the problem of having to deal with five girls at the same time.

Anyway, it was definitely tiring, but Bai Yu knew very well that she had to face and bear all of these things herself, no matter what the final outcome was.

Chapter 87 I See You When I Wake Up

Bai Yu played games with Qing Sisi until the afternoon before going home alone. It wasn't that he didn't want to spend more time with the girl, but he knew better what was more important.

If things really do develop in a positive direction little by little as he hopes, then he will have plenty of time to spend with his family for the rest of his life.

But if things don't turn out well, then being there now only increases the likelihood of failure, and the rest of one's life can only end in tragedy.

What Bai Yu wanted was not the promise of a long future in her ordinary life, but rather, unexpectedly, it all turned into a dream.

What he wanted was for you to be a part of his ordinary life, a part of the future, and for him to be thankful that it wasn't all just a dream.

Therefore, what he needs to do cannot be to stop now and enjoy the warmth and the joy and excitement of meeting again.

In order to live a beautiful life like in her dream, Bai Yu had to suppress her longing to accompany him and complete the plan she had to finish.

The greatest regret in life is meeting someone special, only to know that you can never be together. Sooner or later, you have to give up. So it's either a lifetime together or strangers. The furthest distance in the world is not love or hate, but the gradual estrangement of the most familiar people.

What he needs to do now is to prevent these two special people from looking like they will have to give up on each other sooner or later and become a lifelong commitment.

Back at Si Yu's house, Bai Yu had just entered the password to open the door when he saw the girl cooking in the kitchen wearing a light blue apron. Her long, straight black hair was tied into a neat single ponytail, but her proud breasts were still quite prominent even with the apron on.

This girl is cooking, but Lin Ying isn't here. Lin Ying now lives next door, and she basically won't come over to spend time alone with Si Yu unless Bai Yu is around.

"Sister Siyu, what delicious food are you making tonight?"

As Bai Yu took off her shoes, she called out to Si Yu, who was walking towards the kitchen.

"I'll make you some stewed pork ribs tonight to help you recover."

"That's great, I really like pork ribs."

After saying that, Bai Yu changed her shoes, turned around, and went out to knock on Lin Ying's door next door.

Although the two women no longer experience emotional outbursts due to their own reasons, they haven't reached the point where they would be willing to unconditionally accept each other.

So when Bai Yu comes back, he naturally has to take the initiative to let them get along better. With him around, things will be much easier for them to get along.

dong dong dong~

I gently knocked on Lin Ying's door, and after a short while, Lin Ying, wearing a pink apron and with long, flowing blonde hair reaching her hips, opened the door.

"Bai Yujun, you're back?"

A soft voice drifted into the ear, and then the door was opened, and the person turned to the side to indicate that Bai Yu could come in.

As soon as the door opened, Bai Yu smelled a faint fragrance, indicating that this girl was cooking while Si Yu was cooking.

"Boss lady, did you go out to buy groceries and come back to cook?"

Nodding, Lin Ying did not deny it. Instead, she took two steps forward and subconsciously helped Bai Yu straighten the wrinkles on her collar and hem. Her eyes were so gentle and virtuous, just like a virtuous wife.

"I knew Bai Yujun would be back for dinner, so... I went and bought some groceries, including your favorite beef."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu subconsciously turned her head to look at the door behind her that belonged to Si Yu. Since both women had cooked, she couldn't afford to be neglected anywhere.

Bai Yu's action was unintentional, but Lin Ying saw it all, and a trace of sadness involuntarily arose in her pair of blue eyes.

"Bai Yujun, I'm not done yet... You can eat at her place, it's okay..."

Lin Ying's voice is really beautiful, especially with the addition of the language of the island nation, every word sounds so gentle and beautiful.

But Bai Yu isn't stupid. Lin Ying was saying that she hadn't done a good job, but those words clearly showed that she felt wronged.

"Boss lady, Sister Siyu made some spare ribs, and you also made my favorite beef. I want to eat both, what should I do?"

Seeing Bai Yu's smiling expression, Lin Ying didn't say anything, but just looked at her quietly, clearly indicating that she was willing to listen to him.

"Ahem, I think if you want to eat them all, then eat them all, right?"

After saying that, Bai Yu stepped forward, pulled Lin Ying into her arms, and led her towards the kitchen.

Lin Ying rented Si Yu's house. It was fully equipped with all the necessary facilities, including a sofa, TV, kitchen, and bedroom, all of which were clean and tidy. That's why she was able to cook as soon as she moved in and tidied up.

Entering the kitchen, Bai Yu looked at the stewed beef that was almost ready to be served, a slight smile playing on her lips. She looked down at Lin Ying, whose face was flushed, and said with feigned dissatisfaction.

"Boss lady, did someone just say their food wasn't ready yet? Sigh, some people love you for a while and then they stop loving you altogether, they don't even want me to eat anymore, it's so sad..."

Pouting, Bai Yu put on a pitiful look, which anyone could tell was an act, but Lin Ying still anxiously gave an explanation.

"No, no, I didn't mean you couldn't eat it..."

While many people can make lighthearted jokes without any problem, Lin Ying is someone you can't joke with. Because she has few friends, little social experience, and has always been lonely, she takes everything seriously. Even if she can tell it's a joke, she'll subconsciously take it seriously.

He lowered his head and gently kissed her fair forehead, which was partially obscured by a few strands of golden hair. Then, Bai Yu smiled and pinched her cheek.

"Just kidding, boss lady. I know you've been very good to me, just as I'm grateful that I see deer in the deep forest, whales in the deep sea, and you when I wake up from a dream."

Biting her lip, Lin Ying tilted her fair chin up to look at Bai Yu, her bright eyes sparkling with joy.

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what that means... but I know that you see me in your eyes."

The soft voice reached Bai Yu's ears. She didn't understand the deeper meaning in his words, but she could tell that his eyes were full of love.

"It means I love you. It's a very simple sentence to say, but it carries a heavy weight."

Smiling, Bai Yu gently pressed her forehead against Lin Ying's, slowly closed her eyes, and inhaled Lin Ying's unique scent.

Feeling Bai Yu's body slowly sinking into intoxication as he leaned on her, she slowly closed her eyes, and her soft, boneless hands took the initiative to hug his waist.

Just as the atmosphere between the two was heating up in an ambiguous way, the beef in the pot started to simmer and simmer with dissatisfaction.

They opened their eyes at the same time, and when their eyes met, they smiled at each other with joy.

Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Family of Three

Because both Si Yu and Lin Ying had cooked, Bai Yu comforted Lin Ying and then brought her the beef she had made to Si Yu's house.

Although Lin Ying and Si Yu may not consider each other family members, Bai Yu has indeed begun to take on the role of a family of three.

Looking at the stewed beef and ribs in the casserole on the table, and then at the other stir-fries and snacks, I realized that both of my wives can cook, and can make a lot of dishes. If things could continue like this without any conflicts, it would be like a dream come true.

"Ahem, let's eat, Sister Siyu, Boss Lady, let's eat, eat, eat."

After saying that, Bai Yu didn't care whether Si Yu and Lin Ying wanted to eat first or not; he started eating himself, mainly because he was really hungry.

The very next second after he started eating, Lin Ying, who had somehow hidden a brand new envelope under her skirt, took it out and handed it to Si Yu with both hands shortly after sitting down.

"Thank you for the house. You didn't tell me how much the rent is. I wonder if this place is enough?"

Holding chopsticks in her hand, Si Yu was stunned when she saw this scene.

Not only was he stunned, but even Bai Yu was dumbfounded by Lin Ying's sudden act of giving money.

Turning to look at Bai Yu, Si Yu realized that she couldn't understand Lin Ying's words, so Bai Yu had to explain and translate them.

Bai Yu snapped out of her daze when she saw Si Yu looking at her, quickly chewed the beef in her mouth, swallowed it, and said.

"Um... Sister Siyu, Lin Ying said she was very grateful to you for giving her a place to live. She doesn't know the housing market, let alone how much a house costs. She doesn't know if the money you gave her will be enough for a month."

When it comes to translation, Bai Yu will definitely try to use the most polite and courteous language, mainly because this will unintentionally improve the relationship between the two women, right?

Upon hearing Bai Yu's translation, Si Yu really couldn't bring herself to target Lin Ying at this moment. After all, it's said that you can't hit a smiling face. She had been so polite and hadn't done anything wrong. Targeting her would only seem more excessive, wouldn't it?

Si Yu and Lin Ying are indeed both yanderes, but their yandere personalities are very similar in many ways. If they don't have an episode, they won't be that different from normal people, and they will naturally have the most basic rationality.

Si Yu stood up gently. Although she felt she couldn't do anything to Lin Ying today, she would still accept the money.

She wasn't doing charity for Lin Ying. Actually, her initial idea was that if Lin Ying didn't pay rent for a while, she could use that opportunity to tell Bai Yu that this woman was shameless, living in the house for free without any gratitude or appreciation.

But now it's clear that the plan has fallen through. I didn't expect this woman to be so honest as to give me the money, and even gave it to me as soon as Bai Yu was discharged from the hospital.

"Thank you, Miss Lin Ying. I didn't actually intend to ask for any money."

She responded with a smile, then Si Yu sat down again, saying she didn't want the money, but she didn't intend to return it to Lin Ying, mainly because she really didn't want Lin Ying to stay for free.

Upon hearing Si Yu's words, Bai Yu immediately translated for Lin Ying.

"Boss lady, Sister Siyu just said you were too polite. She didn't care about such a small amount of money at all. We're all sisters."

Bai Yu's translation is seriously an over-translation and over-analysis, but who can blame her when the two women genuinely can't understand each other and can only rely on Bai Yu, the middleman, to make things up?

Thanks to Lin Ying's payment and Bai Yu's extensive translation, the meal was exceptionally peaceful, and there was no further confrontation between the two women.

This trend gave Bai Yu a great sense of accomplishment, and a particular feeling of family harmony.
