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

In his previous life, he only thought about escaping, escaping time and time again, never facing her affection and love face to face.

In this life, we are already entangled in karma; no one can live without the other.

Life is full of ups and downs, and Bai Yu's current situation is quite bad, because the girls will definitely find out about each other's existence soon and choose to meet each other.

After all, among the five women, only Qing Sisi had no memory; the others all had memories.

Of course, Murong Liyue couldn't be 100% sure, because this girl seemed to have it, but also seemed not to. She could only think of the worst possibility: that this girl also had it.

Furthermore, Su Rongxue possesses intimate videos of herself and Su Rongxue. If she were to reveal these videos, the consequences would be explosive.

Therefore, Bai Yu would absolutely not allow this girl to do such a thing now, otherwise, the frog in the boiling water would instantly turn into a deep-fried toad, the pot would overturn and the oil would spill, and the whole thing would be lost.

One thing at a time can be handled reasonably well, but if a bunch of things suddenly come out, then you'll be in a panic. A person can only have two hands and one mouth, and that's all they can do.

As they carried Su Rongxue out of the cinema, many passersby cast their gazes at them, some with puzzled expressions, others with envious, jealous, or even sour looks.

However, these are not things that Bai Yu needs to worry about right now. His current plan is to stabilize Su Rongxue's emotions and then return to Beicheng.

In the northern city, they still need to carry out the plan regarding Qing Sisi and Murong Liyue's scheme.

Once all of this is completed, the five women should be able to meet soon; that would be the best-case scenario.

But Bai Yu also considered the worst-case scenario: what if the girls met before the plan even started? What would she do then?

One can think about the best-case scenario, but one must never ignore the worst-case scenario.

Bai Yu had imagined the best-case scenario: the five women would live harmoniously and no longer exclude each other, so he wouldn't have to worry and be nervous every day.

That's the best-case scenario. The worst-case scenario is that someone dies. If it's just his life, that's fine, it's just a lowly life. But if it were any of Su Rongxue, Si Yu, Qing Sisi, Murong Liyue, or Lin Ying, he wouldn't be able to accept it.

Standing by the roadside, he dialed Su Rongxue's private car driver's number, asking him to come pick them up at the cinema entrance before hanging up.

Bai Yu pulled Su Rongxue closer, but instead of speaking, he gently kissed the girl's hair.

Su Rongxue's daily routine is usually very regular, just like a primary school student, and she usually goes to bed before eleven o'clock.

It was already past 11:30 at this moment, not to mention that she had been walking and stopping since 4 pm this afternoon, and only sat for two hours while watching the movie. She must have been exhausted, so much so that she had started to doze off in Bai Yu's arms.

The car didn't arrive as quickly as I'd expected, because the driver was quite far from the cinema.

Looking at Su Rongxue, who was squinting and hugging herself, and was getting weaker and weaker and wanted to sleep, Bai Yu couldn't help but smile wryly and whisper in her ear to ask.

"Xiaoxue, do you want me to carry you on my back? If you doze off, you can lie on my back and sleep, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Su Rongxue shook her head and hummed in agreement, but her beautiful eyes remained closed, showing that she was already very sleepy.

"Come on, I'll carry you on my back. My arms are getting sore from holding you like this. Let's wait for the driver to come, then we can get some sleep when we get home, okay?"

If Bai Yu has a daughter, she will definitely use the same tone she uses to coax Su Rongxue.

Time passed by, and by the time the car arrived at the cinema, it was already past midnight. Su Rongxue had already fallen asleep on Bai Yu's back.

I got in the car, laid the girl flat on the back seat with her head resting on my lap, and carried her to bed after we got home.

Bai Yu was also tired today, so she put Su Rongxue in her room, changed her clothes for bed, and then went back to her own room to sleep.

The next morning—

Bai Yu was still asleep when her phone rang and woke her up.

With his heavy eyes closed, he answered the phone, and Si Yu's voice came from the other end.

"Bai Yu, when are you coming back? I miss you so much~"

"If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to come back tomorrow. Take good care of yourself at home, okay, Sister Siyu?"

As soon as Bai Yu sat up, she heard Si Yu's slightly uneasy voice coming from the phone.

"Zhang Xinlong wants to arrange another blind date for my sister. She hates him so much. Let's get married soon, and then we can take back Mom and Dad's things together, okay?"

Bai Yu disliked Zhang Xinlong just as much, and it wasn't just dislike; he hated him so much that he wished he could kill Zhang Xinlong's whole family again.

As for reclaiming the property that rightfully belongs to Si Yu, it's unlikely that Si Yu alone can succeed by following the proper procedures. If pushed too far, Zhang Xinlong will resort to illegal means, just like in the previous life.

However, all of the above can be put aside for now. Bai Yu has her own ideas. Si Yu is usually harassed by Zhang Xinlong to go on blind dates, but she can handle it easily. The reason she brought it up again now is probably because of her sense of security. Her main purpose is to marry her as soon as possible.

"Sister Siyu, didn't I promise you that after I came back I would personally hold a wedding ceremony with you in front of Aunt and Uncle, with heaven and earth as our witness?"

Chapter 138 For Bai Yu

"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister. Can we bring some things for Mom and Dad when we come back?"

Listening to Si Yu's gentle voice, Bai Yu knew that this girl was under a lot of psychological pressure. Knowing that he was going to see Su Rongxue, she still had to be strong and calm to talk to him. Who wouldn't be under pressure? Otherwise, why would she ask again today after just talking on the phone yesterday?

However, at this moment, all Bai Yu could do was to give this girl enough trust.

Things that can't be changed can only be allowed to be adapted to slowly. After all, it would be better to kill him than to make him abandon the other women for Si Yu.

Moreover, the fact that Si Yu is no longer fighting or making a fuss, and no longer acts like she used to at the drop of a hat or threaten self-harm, means that she is slowly accepting everything.

Bai Yu knew that this situation had never been fair to her from the beginning, but the problem was that they couldn't separate, so she had no choice but to do it.

“No problem, I’ll go as soon as I get back. We’ll bring some good stuff and some wine, and we’ll do it in front of your aunt and uncle, with heaven and earth as our witnesses. I will definitely take good care of you.”

"Okay, sister will wait for you to come back. You must come back soon."

"Ok."

After saying that, Si Yu hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, standing in the living room, Si Yu was holding a small knife, and the bloody wounds on her arm indicated that her situation was not as easy as Bai Yu had imagined.

Perhaps she is also trying to accept everything in the present situation. It is really hard for her to accept that her love is being shared. Even though she knows that Bai Yu has no other choice, she still cannot let go of it.

Self-harm naturally became her outlet for venting her grievances and dissatisfaction; only in this way could she find some proof of her existence and life.

The sight of bright red blood dripping from fingertips onto the pristine white floor was horrifying.

At this moment, Si Yu didn't care at all how distressed Bai Yu would be if he saw his self-harming behavior. He was only thinking about what to do and how to accept all of this.

In fact, she had already considered Bai Yu's situation a lot. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have locked herself in the house every day these past few days, trying to convince herself to accept the current reality and the fate that Bai Yu had to accept.

Humans are not animals that like to share love, let alone love. Coupled with her yandere mentality that prioritizes pure love, Si Yu finds it even more difficult to accept and tortures herself every day.

Bai Yu was unaware of all this, and the girl had never told him about the pain and anguish she had been feeling these past few days, because no matter how much she said, it wouldn't change Bai Yu's thoughts and feelings, and she knew that very well.

She crouched down and slowly sat on the cool floor. Looking at the cuts on her arms, Si Yu felt a sudden emptiness and loneliness, as if the whole world had abandoned her.

He glanced at the blood-stained knife in his right hand, raised it, and gently made another cut on his left arm.

Her once smooth and jade-like left arm is now covered with several wounds, some of which have scabbed over, while others are still fresh and bleeding.

With a tinkling sound, the knife fell to the floor, making a metallic sound as it struck the ground.

She slowly lay down, picked up her phone, and looked at Bai Yu's name and phone number in her contacts. She was very familiar with the simple name Bai Yu, and she could recite his phone number by heart. Yet, she still felt that she did not understand his heart.

In Si Yu's opinion, even if Bai Yu came back, he wouldn't go to her parents' graves with her to prove anything, because she didn't understand his thoughts and ideas, yet she knew his personality very well.

To put it bluntly, Si Yu's trust in Bai Yu was dwindling time and time again because this guy had never truly kept his promises to her, not even once.

Waiting time and time again yields no results. Who would be foolish enough to keep waiting? Even Si Yu, who loves him very much, would waver, because waiting for too long only brings disappointment and broken promises. Such waiting is the most despairing.

Lying on the floor, Si Yu was wearing only a thin nightgown, her long, snow-white legs and jade-like feet completely exposed. The light shining in from the floor-to-ceiling window next to the living room fell directly on her beautiful legs, making them dazzlingly white.

Just as Si Yu closed her eyes, wanting to lie down and sleep quietly for a while, the doorbell rang.

ding dong~

The doorbell rang loudly, but even though Si Yu heard it, she had no intention of getting up to open the door.

After the doorbell rang a few times, the sound of a hand slapping against the heavy iron door could be heard.

Because the door was very heavy, the sound was much quieter than a doorbell, but you could hear that the knocking outside was very forceful.

dong dong dong~

Si Yu did not get up. The knocking continued outside the door, followed by a familiar yet disliked deep voice.

"Siyu, you're still not up? Open the door for your uncle. I have something I want to discuss with you. Shall we stay home?"

Si Yu sat up and looked toward the door, but she still didn't intend to open the door for Zhang Xinlong.

To her, Zhang Xinlong was no longer her uncle. If he was capable of doing anything for money, then she shouldn't blame her for not leaving him a single penny.

dong dong dong~

Si Yu didn't open the door. The knocking continued, and this time it was even louder than before.

This clearly showed that Zhang Xinlong was a little unhappy; otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly increased the force of his knocking.

Si Yu still didn't intend to pay attention. Instead, she got up and prepared to go back to her room to close the door to block out the knocking, so that she could avoid hearing or being bothered.

Just as she got up and walked to the door of her room, her phone suddenly lit up. The caller ID showed it was Zhang Xinlong calling.

Although Si Yu didn't intend to answer the phone, Zhang Xinlong outside the door heard it ringing. Even though Si Yu turned off the sound a second later, it was too late.

"Siyu, open the door for your uncle! What's going on?"

The corridor was already quiet, so Zhang Xinlong's voice sounded particularly loud, to the point that Lin Ying next door could hear it.

Although she couldn't understand what Zhang Xinlong was shouting, she could hear the knocking coming from Si Yu's room next door, and she could also hear Si Yu's name being called by a rough male voice.

She put down the Chinese pinyin book in her hand. This was the basic book she usually used to learn Chinese with videos. She could communicate normally with Bai Yu in China without any problem, but if she didn't learn Chinese, she wouldn't be able to communicate normally with Bai Yu's parents. She wouldn't be able to communicate with them when she went grocery shopping for Bai Yu or when the child went to school. So she had no choice but to learn.

Lin Ying stood up from the sofa and quickly walked to her front door. Looking through the peephole, she saw Zhang Xinlong and a tall young man in a suit standing opposite her.

Judging from his back, Zhang Xinlong is a bit chubby, with a slicked-back hairstyle. Although he is dressed very formally, he has a nouveau riche vibe.

However, the young man did appear to be very gentlemanly, with fair skin and a handsome appearance, giving off an air of a rich and handsome man.

This was Lin Ying's first impression, but besides these first impressions, she was also wondering why these two people were knocking on Si Yu's door.

If it was to pay rent, the two people didn't seem like the type who needed to come in person to pay rent. If it wasn't to pay rent, Lin Ying felt that knocking and shouting with that force meant something bad was going to happen.

Although she thought Si Yu's accident was a good thing for her, and she didn't really like this girl.

But Lin Ying is soft-hearted and always thinks of Bai Yu. If something happens to Si Yu, Bai Yu will definitely be very sad. If he is sad, she will be sad too. No matter how she thinks about it, it would be better if Si Yu didn't get into trouble.

Putting aside her own selfish desires, Lin Ying went back to the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, and held it tightly in her hand. She stood quietly by the peephole and watched. As soon as Si Yu opened the door and was attacked by these two, she would rush out to help.

A minute passed, and Si Yu's door remained tightly closed, showing no sign of opening.

Seeing this, Lin Ying began to think that Si Yu might not be home, but just as she was thinking this, Zhang Xinlong began to knock on the door urgently and loudly.

The banging was very loud, indicating that the force of the blows was considerable, and that anger was clearly involved.

This was entirely because Zhang Xinlong was angry because he heard Si Yu's phone ringing but still didn't see her open the door.
