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

Of course, he wasn't stupid. The two women wouldn't let go of their grudges over such a small matter, so things would have to be done slowly, and there was plenty of time.

After dinner, Bai Yu told the two women to rest and went to wash the dishes himself. Even though the two women insisted on doing it themselves and refused to let him wash the dishes, Bai Yu still went to wash them.

Although this involution is good for Bai Yu at this stage, in the long run, the conflict between the two women will not only not decrease, but will only become more and more serious. Therefore, Bai Yu must prevent the two women from involving each other in many things.

Tonight, Bai Yu is sleeping in the guest room of Si Yu's house. It's not that he doesn't want to sleep at Lin Ying's house, but his whole family needs to stay for a day, and he can't show favoritism to anyone.

Of course, even so, Lin Ying would definitely be unhappy if she slept at Si Yu's house, and Si Yu would definitely be unhappy if he slept at Lin Ying's house.

But Bai Yu is only one person, and this is the only relatively fair thing he can do. He doesn't have the ability to be in two places at once.

The northern part of the city was still bustling at night, and even at two in the morning, the sounds of teenagers charging on the streets could be heard from time to time.

Bai Yu has a lot to think about and consider every day, so he sleeps very soundly because he is mentally exhausted.

But tonight, Si Yu couldn't fall back asleep after waking up from a dream.

Her dreams seemed both very long and very short, as long as a lifetime and as short as a moment.

To put it bluntly, Si Yu dreamed of a future where she and Bai Yu were no longer together, where there was no trust, no future, and nothing at all.

It was nothing short of the most terrifying nightmare for her; when she woke up, her pillow was already soaked with tears.

He rubbed his eyes, looked at the familiar ceiling in the darkness, sniffed, sat up, put on his slippers, opened the door, and went to Bai Yu's room.

I gently turned the doorknob to Bai Yu's room. The room was so quiet that even the sound of the doorknob turning was unusually jarring.

Wearing slippers, he approached Bai Yu's bedside step by step. The moonlight shone through the curtains into the room, illuminating Bai Yu's cheek. He was sleeping so sweetly and peacefully.

Bending down to get close to his face, Si Yu noticed that Bai Yu's eyelashes were very long and beautiful, his lips were neither thick nor thin but seemed a little dry, and his handsome face, which was neither fat nor thin, showed a hint of fatigue.

One tear after another fell, dripping onto his lips, entering his mouth with a slightly bitter taste.

Tasting the bitter tears, Bai Yu slowly opened his eyes. Before he could even react, Si Yu had already lifted the blanket and turned into his arms.

"Hmm? Sister Siyu?"

Bai Yu called out to Si Yu in a muffled, soft voice, and then she saw Si Yu hugging her and burying her face in her chest, sobbing.

Although her mind wasn't fully clear yet, Bai Yu's first instinct was to comfort her.

"What's wrong, Sister Siyu? Why are you crying?"

He reached out and gently stroked Si Yu's long, smooth hair, burying his face in her hair and faintly smelling the scent of roses.

Chapter 89 Hypocrisy

Feeling Bai Yu's gentle caresses and soft words of comfort, Si Yu cried even more bitterly than before.

Although it was just a dream, it seemed that such a dream had actually come true in my previous life, and in the end, I ended up with nothing.

"I had a dream that you abandoned me and never spoke to me again..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu was slightly taken aback, but then he laughed. He had thought that Si Yu crying was something serious, but it turned out to be just a dream.

"Sister Siyu, you're not a child anymore. It's just a dream. Even if it's a dream, as the ancients said, dreams and reality are opposites. The fact that it didn't happen in the dream means that we will be together forever in reality, and that we will spend the rest of our lives together."

Si Yu buried her face in Bai Yu's chest and wiped away her tears. She was clearly a sexy and voluptuous mature woman, but at this moment she looked just like an underage girl.

She pouted and looked up at Bai Yu with a pitiful expression, her voice sweet and adorable.

"When can you have a baby, sister? I see a lot of girls who are 18 or 19 years old becoming mothers. You're already in your early twenties and want to be a mother too."

Good heavens, Bai Yuzhen hadn't expected these words.

However, just because she didn't expect it doesn't mean Bai Yu didn't understand why. For Si Yu, there are only three things she cares about and wants: a baby, family, and absolute trust.

So her desire to have a baby was both unexpected and perfectly reasonable.

Moreover, given Si Yu's family's wealth, let alone having one baby, even eight or ten wouldn't pose a problem of whether they could afford to raise them.

"Sister Siyu, I know you want to have a baby, but you also need to consider my current physical condition. Although I'm almost fully recovered, the doctor said I can't do any strenuous exercise, right?"

Bai Yu didn't actually refuse Si Yu, but the wounds he had from being accidentally slashed and stabbed by the two women hadn't fully healed, so strenuous exercise was not an option. If he went ahead with the plan now, it would disrupt his subsequent schedule.

Upon hearing this, Si Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with it and nodded reasonably. However, what she said next stunned Bai Yu.

"I know you can't do strenuous exercise, so...can I do it myself?"

Bai Yu: ...

People can do it, but not to the point of needing to.

"Ahem, Sister Siyu, this isn't just a matter of strenuous exercise anymore. There's no need to rush. Can't you let me recover completely in a few more days?"

"But...but I'm scared, I'm scared you'll leave..."

Si Yu pursed her lips, her fear stemming entirely from the previous dream. Yet Bai Yu knew perfectly well that the trust she placed in Si Yu was not absolute, nor was there a family or a baby.

So now she wants to fulfill the need for a baby. Perhaps for Si Yu, having a baby means having a family, and he will naturally stay and not abandon her.

“Sister Siyu, I know what you’re worried about, and I know you’ve been heartbroken all along. In your last life, you finally had a baby, but it left you.”

No sooner had Bai Yu uttered those words than Si Yu's lips trembled, and she burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

The most painful memory for Si Yu in her previous life was that the baby she had carefully cared for left this world along with her.

Although her life was also lost and irreversible, the baby was innocent and should absolutely not have faced such an ending.

Even if she is reborn and meets Bai Yu again, and everything starts anew, the pain in her heart will always remain, and it cannot be forgotten just because she wants to.

Moreover, the baby was the little life that Si Yu cared about most and wanted to have with Bai Yu. Losing such a carefully nurtured child was more unbearable than any other loss.

Reaching out gently, Bai Yu wiped away the tears that slid down Si Yu's cheeks, one after another. She knew that the only way to heal Si Yu's pain of losing her baby was to give her the experience of being a mother again.

"Sister Siyu, we've all gone back to the past, so the baby must have gone back to the past too. As long as we work together, the baby will come back to us again, right?"

Si Yu buried her face in Bai Yu's chest and sobbed uncontrollably. She knew that what Bai Yu said was right, but the sadness in her heart still continued to spread.

Gently stroking Si Yu's back beneath her thin pajamas, the girl's emotions gradually began to stabilize.

After stopping, Si Yu snuggled proudly in Bai Yu's arms, wiping away her tears, which had already soaked his collar.

"Alright, alright, Sister Siyu, you keep saying you're the older sister, but you're crying like a younger sister. Is that really okay?"

"Can't the older sister cry? You're clearly the younger brother, why are you acting like the older brother?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu and Si Yu couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Reaching out to embrace Si Yu's slender waist, Bai Yu had just closed his eyes, preparing to sleep and thinking about going to see Murong Liyue the next morning, when Si Yu puffed out her chest and pressed it tightly against his chest, soft and warm.

When Bai Yu opened her eyes, she looked down and saw Si Yu with her eyes closed, burying her head in her arms and looking at her obediently.

Just as he closed his eyes, preparing to hold Si Yu and fall asleep again, a soft little hand touched his chest.

The delicate and smooth fingers glided gently, and although it was very light and soft, the feeling made Bai Yu tremble uncontrollably all over.

"Sister Siyu, can't you get some sleep?"

Bai Yu lowered her head and whispered a question into Si Yu's ear, who was nestled in her arms.

Upon hearing this, Si Yu simply hummed softly, and the next moment she raised one of her long legs and clamped it around Bai Yu's thigh, as if sleeping was the most comfortable thing for her.

However she sleeps, Bai Yu will follow Si Yu's lead. As long as the girl is happy, that's fine. Besides, it feels good to sleep with her thighs tucked between her legs.

Before he could fall asleep, he felt Si Yu gently lick his neck with the tip of her tongue as she opened her small mouth.

Before Bai Yu could react, she felt a hand sliding down her lower abdomen.

This behavior is clearly an expression of pursuing love.

"Sister Siyu, if you don't want to sleep, please don't stop me from sleeping like this."

Squinting, Bai Yu pretended to be angry, but Si Yu didn't care at all. Instead, she gently tapped his stomach with her finger and spoke softly and seductively.

"Hmph, some people say they want to sleep, but their hearts are anything but honest~"

Chapter Ninety: Meeting Murong Liyue

Feeling Si Yu's blatantly seductive tone, coupled with the girl's deliberate, fragrant breath in his ear and the allure of rubbing her thigh against his own, everything was understood without words.

However, Bai Yu had to refuse her this time. It wasn't that he didn't want to take things to the next step, nor was it simply because of health problems. It was just that there were many issues to resolve at this time, and if he had any uncertainties, his plans for the future might fall through.

She reached out and pulled Si Yu's soft, delicate body tightly into her arms, then retaliated by blowing a breath of hot air into her ear.

Si Yu thought that Bai Yu would definitely take the next step after this behavior, but the next second she found that Bai Yu did not do as she expected. Instead, she turned her back to her and chose to go to sleep.

With her hands tucked into her chest and her cheeks flushed, Si Yu stared blankly at Bai Yu, who had turned her back to her, looking utterly bewildered.

"Bai Yu?"

She called softly, but this time Bai Yu didn't respond and continued sleeping.

Seeing this, Si Yu was so angry that she couldn't help but lightly kick Bai Yu's foot. But even if she was dissatisfied, what could she do? Bai Yu couldn't refuse.

With her arms crossed, Si Yu turned away angrily, her back to Bai Yu, sulking to herself. The scene had a real air of an old married couple.

The next morning—

Bai Yu got up early in the morning, ate breakfast, greeted Si Yu and Lin Ying, and then went out.

This time, he didn't say what he was going out to do, he just said that he had something to do.

The two women didn't ask too many questions, not because they didn't want to, but because they both knew that Bai Yu was definitely going to see another girl, so there was no need to ask.

Thinking about it makes me uncomfortable, but it's much better than saying it out loud.

The person Bai Yu was going to meet early in the morning was none other than Murong Liyue.

Murong Liyue and he contacted each other every day. Although each chat was short, sometimes only a few messages, Bai Yu still went to see her.

I've been back in China for several days now. If I don't go see this girl, and she asks me why I didn't go see her first, things will only get more complicated.

Of course, Bai Yu had made many mental preparations before going to see Murong Liyue, such as never returning.

Who told him to be locked up in a cellar by this girl for months in his previous life?

To be honest, Bai Yu was actually a little afraid of Murong Liyue. It wasn't fear of death or her aura, but the fear of being imprisoned again and feeling powerless.

Because once he is locked up again, his plans will naturally fall apart. Lin Ying and Si Yu will definitely have a worsening conflict because of his disappearance. Not only will Qing Sisi not get the redemption she deserves, but what if something changes? Su Rongxue will definitely think that he is a person who does not keep his word and is foolishly waiting for him to come to her.

These are just the consequences Bai Yu has naively imagined; she hasn't considered the more serious ones yet.

Therefore, he went to see Murong Liyue with the intention of never returning.

Stepping out of Si Yu's apartment building, Bai Yu took out her phone and called Murong Liyue for the first time in so many days.

The call wasn't answered quickly after it was dialed; Murong Liyue answered just as the phone was about to automatically disconnect.
