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

It's not fair to blame Bai Yu for being sleepy. After all, he boarded the plane in the early morning and rushed to the capital overnight. In addition, he was worried about Su Rongxue's safety the whole way. Even if he took a nap on the plane, he didn't get any rest at all.

Moreover, people are several times more tired than usual when they are extremely worried and anxious. In addition, Bai Yu has been under much more mental pressure than normal people since his rebirth, so he is exhausted every day.

Lying on her side on the bed, Su Rongxue blinked her crimson eyes and quietly watched Bai Yu sleeping on her stomach.

Su Rongxue quietly reached out from under the covers, wanting to touch his sleeping face, but her outstretched hand suddenly turned into a claw when it touched his cheek.

With a vicious claw, it struck Bai Yu's cheek, and the sharp pain instantly woke Bai Yu up.

Suddenly raising her head and covering her right cheek, Bai Yu looked at Su Rongxue with some confusion, her eyes still filled with anger at being suddenly hurt.

However, this instinctive anger quickly vanished the moment he saw Su Rongxue.

Bai Yu wasn't no longer in pain; it was just that he couldn't feel any hatred or anger towards Su Rongxue at all, and he was afraid that this girl would hurt him.

"Bai Yu...I...I didn't, I didn't want this to happen, no...I didn't, I really didn't...I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Looking at Bai Yu in horror, Su Rongxue was startled by her own sudden behavior. Her next reaction was to explain, but when she couldn't explain, she could only keep apologizing.

Bai Yu didn't say a bad word about the girl. He continued to look at her with the gentlest gaze because he knew very well that the reason the girl was reacting so strangely was probably because of him, and he was the one who caused the girl's mental problems.

"It's okay, Xiaoxue. I know you never intended to hurt me. You like me so much, how could you possibly want to hurt me? Right?"

Looking at Bai Yu's smiling face even after she had scratched her, Su Rongxue wanted to cry. She knew very well that she had just been thinking of hurting Bai Yu, but Bai Yu did not blame her at all. On the contrary, she was still willing to be gentle and caring towards her, which made her seem even more unreasonable.

"No...I'm wrong..."

Gently pulling up the corner of the blanket to cover her face, Su Rongxue felt that she had really gone too far. Why should she be tolerated for hurting Bai Yu like this?

But as soon as this thought arose, the voice of hatred that could never be suppressed rang in his mind again.

"You're right. Bai Yu has hurt you once and twice, and he will hurt you again this time. He will still abandon you and make you feel the coldness of the world. Isn't it painful to live like this? Isn't it more frightening than death?"

The voice echoed in her mind, and Su Rongxue's instincts resisted, but her body still couldn't help but do things she couldn't control.

As soon as this thought was born, resentment instantly swept through her heart. A sense of hatred made her want to pinch Bai Yu and bite off a piece of flesh. But this hatred was actually more born from extreme grievance.

To put it bluntly, she wanted to be with Bai Yu, but being abandoned made her feel wronged and resentful.

"Xiaoxue, it's okay. I know you've always been kind and well-behaved. This time it wasn't your fault, it was mine."

Reaching out to pull the corner of the blanket, Bai Yu wanted to gently pull the blanket away for Su Rongxue, but as soon as she lifted a small corner of the blanket, a small mouth bit her thumb hard.

The ten fingers are connected to the heart. After his thumb was bitten hard, Bai Yu subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back in pain, but after struggling subconsciously, he slowly let go of the pain.

While Su Rongxue's slightest injury might cause him physical pain, he also saw resentment, loneliness from being abandoned, and fear of the world in Su Rongxue's hateful eyes.

To put it bluntly, Bai Yu is like a villain who drove Su Rongxue to the brink of despair, forcing the little girl who depended on him to break free from her dependence and face the harsh realities of the world on her own.

This is even worse than simply abandoning someone, because he abandoned them without leaving a trace.

"Xiaoxue, you can actually tell me that you hate me, because I told you from the beginning that I'm not a good person, I'm a bad person, but you never believed me, right?"

Smiling at Su Rongxue, Bai Yu looked into Su Rongxue's eyes, which were filled with grievance and hatred, with extremely gentle eyes. When their eyes met, both of them felt heartbroken.

The pressure on his fingers suddenly increased significantly, and Bai Yu's brows furrowed tightly, but he never showed any sign that he wanted to shake her off.

To put it bluntly, Bai Yu did this just to prove one thing: no matter how difficult or painful it is, this time he will never give up again, never easily choose to abandon something because of pain and hardship, and he would rather die than continue to make such a mistake.

“Xiaoxue, if one day I stop bothering you, I might think that freedom is really great, because I can do whatever I want without restraint. But I also know that after doing this, I will definitely think of you every night, and I will inevitably feel sad after thinking of you.”

Speaking softly, Bai Yu's finger had already been bitten by Su Rongxue, and the pain made his hand tremble uncontrollably, but he never uttered a word about letting go or even taking the initiative to stop.

Gradually, blood flowed into Su Rongxue's lips again, and the metallic taste of blood filled her mouth. But this time, the girl showed no intention of letting go.

Bai Yu was in pain, and it was real pain. His left hand was gripping the bed sheet tightly, and his toes were digging in, but he still refused to utter a single word of begging for mercy or asking her to let go.

In the end, Bai Yu won because of Su Rongxue's kindness.

"sorry..."

After releasing Bai Yu's thumb, the girl said sorry and then burst into tears, crying so pitifully and aggrievedly.

Bai Yu looked at her thumb, which had been deeply bitten, and instead of feeling pain from the deep wound, she felt a sense of joy, a joy as if she had won.

Is he still a normal person? Perhaps Bai Yu already knew a long time ago that he was really different from before, and that the difference was a bit too much.

Chapter 116 A Person Who Loves to the Point of Abnormality

"Bai Yu... I didn't want this to happen, I didn't, I feel so bad, I didn't mean to hurt you, I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to hurt you..."

With teary eyes, Su Rongxue looked up at Bai Yu, appearing so pitiful. Bai Yu knew she was telling the truth, but on the other hand, she wished she could kill herself.

He now knows very well that he may be facing Su Rongxue, but it seems like he is facing two different versions of her.

So we had agreed beforehand to go out for a walk together later, so that I could have some time to talk to this girl alone, mainly to avoid the interference of Roel Ellie.

"Xiaoxue, do you want me to carry you out for a walk? You've been lying at home all this time, you must want to go out and see the world, right?"

Nodding, Su Rongxue kept stealing glances at Bai Yu's eyes and the blood-stained thumb.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with fear and apprehension at Bai Yu, but her eyes were filled with heartache and self-blame when she looked at Thumb.

She was truly kind and very good-natured, and genuinely willing to listen to others. However, Bai Yu drove this lovely, obedient, and clingy little girl to the point of her current mental breakdown.

He was well aware that this was mostly due to his own mistake. Although Su Rongxue had not mentioned a single word about her past life so far, it did not mean that he was unaware of the girl's unwillingness to bring it up.

The fact that her eyes suddenly changed from timid and weak to hateful and aggrieved said it all.

Bai Yu was initially caught off guard by this, since the girl seemed to have two personalities, but gradually he learned how to solve the problem.

His method might seem a bit clumsy, but it was the only way that suited her best, and it wouldn't hurt her.

This method was Bai Yu's attempt to melt away Su Rongxue's resentment and grievances with the utmost sincerity.

Or this might leave him covered in wounds, but compared to the guilt and pain in his heart, the physical wounds seem insignificant, don't they?

Standing up, Bai Yu knew that Su Rongxue was still blaming herself, so she took the initiative to squat down with her back to the bed, indicating that she would carry her out.

Seeing this, Su Rongxue hesitated and didn't dare to lean on his back, but she really wanted to be close to him.

Bai Yu knew how clingy she was, and the girl's affection made her seem especially adorable.

"Come on, Xiaoxue, do you want me to keep squatting like this? Your IV drip has already been taken off, are you going to have to get another one later?"

Looking at Bai Yu's strong back, bent and waiting for her to lie down, Su Rongxue finally succumbed to her inner longing, sat up, knelt down and slowly crawled to the bedside, lying on her back, which she found exceptionally warm.

Bai Yu sucked the blood from her thumb. She hadn't even considered bandaging such a big bite. When she felt Su Rongxue climb on top of her, she gently lifted her up by her little bottom.

Feeling Bai Yu gently lift her up, Su Rongxue pressed her cheek against his shoulder, her slightly narrowed eyes clearly enjoying the warmth of the moment.

She slowly reached out and wrapped her arms around Bai Yu's neck. Bai Yu carried her all the way out of the villa without opening her eyes.

"Xiaoxue, you are so light, as light as a cotton ball."

"No...no, right?"

The soft voice gently caressed her ear, amplifying the already healing feeling several times over, giving Bai Yu goosebumps.

After saying this, Su Rongxue subconsciously pressed her pretty face against Bai Yu's face.

Her soft, smooth face felt cool to the touch, a refreshing sensation in the already sweltering summer heat.

Want some stickers?

Smiling and turning his head to say this to Su Rongxue, Bai Yu actually really liked this girl's clingy and affectionate nature. He felt a sense of being loved and pampered. However, whether in his previous life or the one before that, he was too proud to admit his affection for this girl.

Now I gladly admit that I like Su Rongxue's clingy nature, and I like how her cute and gentle personality makes me feel relaxed and happy.

Sometimes, people only realize how relaxed and happy they feel after actively accepting the people or things they like. It's so much better than suppressing it.

Lying on Bai Yu's back, Su Rongxue didn't reply, only weakly humming in response.

Sensing that the girl really wanted to cling to him, Bai Yu tilted his head back, put his hands behind his back, wrapped his arms around the girl's pert buttocks, and hugged her up so that their cheeks could more easily touch.

"Xiaoxue is so cute! How can you be so cute?"

Did Bai Yu ever praise Su Rongxue like this?

Maybe there were times, but definitely not as sincere, as gentle, or as pleasing to her as the praise she's giving right now.

Upon hearing Bai Yu's praise, Su Rongxue's face instantly turned red, her beautiful eyes closed tightly, and her small feet involuntarily clamped around Bai Yu's waist.

At this moment, she resembled an octopus, clinging to Bai Yu's back and unwilling to get down.

Stepping out of the villa gate, follow the path in the front yard all the way to the garden at the back of the villa. There is a pavilion there with stone benches, and the surrounding environment is exceptionally quiet.

This is exactly the kind of place Bai Yu needs, and it's also the perfect place for her to have a good chat with Su Rongxue.

Just as he was carrying Su Rongxue toward the backyard, Luo Er Ai Li, on the second-floor balcony of the villa, saw everything, a smile playing on her lips as if she had everything under control.

Unfortunately, Bai Yu and Su Rongxue were completely unaware of all this.

Of course, even if Bai Yu knew, she couldn't imagine what kind of conspiracy Luo Er Ai Li had besides forcing her and Su Rongxue to become engaged.

At this point, all we can say is that Bai Yu is still too young. It's true that she can't get married, since Luo Er Ai Li said it would be after the New Year.

But even though it seems like a long time after the Lunar New Year, it's just the wedding itself. Doesn't it take time to prepare for the wedding?

Are there a series of things that must be done before the wedding, such as not inviting guests, not taking wedding photos, not arranging a wedding room, and not finding an auspicious date?

Therefore, Bai Yu was only considering the six-month gap, but in reality, the complete void left for him within those six months might only be three or four months.

So he could use all sorts of tricks on the five women, but he could never outsmart Roel Ellie.

Moreover, Roel Elie is not only considering marriage; she has probably even prepared a box for Bai Yu to back out.

This is probably what people who love to the point of being obsessive are like.

Chapter 117 The Only Request

He carried Su Rongxue to the pavilion and told her to sit down. He then put the girl down with his back to her and placed her on a small stone seat.

Turning around to look at Su Rongxue standing on the small stone seat, Bai Yu realized that she hadn't put shoes on the girl when she carried her out. She had been in a bit of a rush when she carried her out.

Seeing Su Rongxue's slightly embarrassed little toe bent, Bai Yu couldn't help but let out a giggle.

His smile made Su Rongxue, who was already a little embarrassed by her toes scratching, even more awkward.

"Bai Yu...are you...secretly laughing at me?"

Her soft, weak questioning, with her head bowed and not daring to look at Bai Yu, not only didn't make her seem intimidating at all, but instead made her appear exceptionally adorable.

However, Bai Yu's purpose in coming to the pavilion was not to flirt with Su Rongxue.

Perhaps flirting is what he most wants to do right now, after all, being able to see each other again after being reborn is an emotion that cannot be described in words.

But reason tells Bai Yu repeatedly that he absolutely cannot fall into flirting so quickly. If he spends this time flirting and being intimate with Su Rongxue, the outcome will still be the same. Would he be making up for nothing?
