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

The previous plan was delayed due to Su Rongxue's mental health issues, but now he can't afford to waste any more time, so he must hurry up and execute the plan.

After getting into the taxi, Bai Yu took out her phone and called Qing Siling.

The call was answered very quickly after it was dialed.

"Hey, Brother Bai Yu, what's up?"

"Qing Siling, I just got back to Beicheng. I was thinking about what I told you last time about inviting someone out to have fun. After all, I'm a guy, so I should at least take Qing Sisi out to have some fun, right?"

"Oh, that's no big deal. When do you want to go? I can arrange it for you anytime, anywhere, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu pursed his lips, feeling a bit bitter and guilty. But that was his plan, and there was no other way. Besides, he had no other options, did he?

If it were any other matter, Bai Yu could discuss better and more appropriate methods with other people, but the problem now is that there is no way to share or discuss with others, and he can only bear everything by himself.

"Qing Siling, arrange someone for me this afternoon. I can go to Qing Sisi's place now, have lunch with her first, and then go out to play together."

"Okay, I'll arrange for you to meet them. Let's meet at North City Square as we agreed last time. I'll also send you their contact information, and I'll send yours to them too. They're all good buddies, definitely going to create opportunities for you two. I hope we can become brother and brother-in-law in the future, hahaha~"

With an awkward smile, Bai Yu truly felt that her plan was a betrayal of Qing Siling's trust, and even more so of Qing Sisi's sacrifices for her.

But at this moment, Bai Yu could not be sentimental like a woman, much less be sentimental like a woman.

"I think as long as nothing unexpected happens, we'll definitely have this kind of relationship. But why do you always seem to want to be my older brother? Hahahaha."

Bai Yu's laughter was very natural, but his expression full of shame showed that it was all a performance he had no choice but to put on.

After hanging up Qing Siling's call, Bai Yu turned to look at the scene outside the window. The rain had stopped, but there was no rainbow as in a fairy tale. The sun once again cast its outline across the sky, and the heat swept over this complex land once more.

Bai Yu called Qing Sisi, explaining that she needed to call her to get into the villa area to accompany her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to enter at all.

"Hey, senior."

"Sisi, I'm on my way to your house now. Shall we go out and play together this afternoon?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Sisi, like a daughter whose parents suddenly decide to take her to an amusement park, jumped and danced with excitement.

"Okay, okay, I'm just waiting for you to ask me out! You actually do take the initiative to ask me out after all, hehe~"

Feeling the joy of Qing Sisi jumping around, Bai Yu gave a bitter smile.

The happier Qing Sisi is now, the more miserable she will be when she goes to play later.

To be honest, Bai Yu felt a sense of dread, fearing that she might not dare to carry out the plan anymore, because it would really hurt Qing Sisi's heart.

But reason told him time and again that if the plan wasn't implemented, Qing Sisi would have no chance of getting along well with the other girls, and without getting along well with them, there would be no future for them, and all their efforts would be in vain.

"I can't expect you to take the initiative for everything, right? It's my turn to ask you out, isn't it?"

Sitting on the gaming chair, Qing Sisi wore a pair of pink headphones and was so excited she was practically dancing on the chair.

"I love you, senior duck, I love you so much~"

Hearing Qing Sisi's sweet laughter filled with genuine joy, Bai Yu's sense of guilt intensified.

This girl has very few and simple requirements. I never knew that inviting her out to play could make her this happy.

It's kind of funny, actually. Bai Yu had never asked this girl out even once before. He was such a jerk.

Chapter 152 Fake Friends

As soon as Bai Yu got out of the car, she heard Qing Sisi calling her name.

"Senior~"

Turning my head, I saw Qing Sisi standing at the corner of the villa area's main gate, waving her hands and jumping around.

The girl was wearing a pink dress, and the black over-the-knee socks added a touch of liveliness to her youthful and beautiful temperament, making the already pure girl even more dreamy.

"Thank you, Master."

After saying that, Bai Yu closed the car door and ran towards where Qing Sisi was standing.

"Sisi, it's so hot outside. Why did you come out and stand in the sun waiting for me? Wouldn't it be cooler to stand in the shade?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Sisi smiled and shook her head. Her sweet voice was extremely pleasant to hear. It could be said that among the girls, Qing Sisi's voice was the one that sounded the most youthful and girlish.

"It's not hot here, let's go in together, senior. What do you want to eat for lunch? Eat at home or go out, it's all fine with me~"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu decisively revealed a passionate expression and replied with a smile.

"Let's go out for lunch this time. I've already made a reservation at the restaurant. Can I pay for everything today?"

"Huh? Senior, did you suddenly win the lottery?"

Frowning slightly, Bai Yu didn't quite understand why Qing Sisi would say such a thing, so she asked in return.

"Why do you want to win the lottery? Does it mean I can't treat you to dinner and go out if I don't win the lottery? Aren't you thinking too highly of your senior?"

She stuck out her pink tongue, smiled, and shook her head in reply.

"No, it's just that I feel like my senior has suddenly become a little more generous than before. Although he's usually very nice, it's rare to see him like this."

With a wry smile, Bai Yu nodded and said something against her conscience.

"Hey, you're not wrong, I don't usually act that generous, but there's a reason for it. You're a special person to me right now. Only someone special can make me make special changes. For a guy, no one wants the girl they've been supporting for a long time to be someone else's future wife, right?"

Covering her mouth, Qing Sisi's beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

"Hehe, my senior is so nice, I like him so much~"

Looking at Qing Sisi's smiling face, Bai Yu felt a deep sense of guilt.

After all, there was nothing wrong with what he said, but what he did to Qing Sisi afterwards was very problematic.

"Okay, let's go inside. We won't sit for long before we go eat together. I've made plans to go out with a lot of friends this afternoon. You don't mind, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Sisi quickly shook her head and replied with a smile.

"No way~, I just need to stay with my senior, why would I suggest anything?"

Nodding, Bai Yu didn't say anything more and followed Qing Sisi into the villa area.

Soon, Bai Yu followed Qing Sisi to the villa where she lived.

Bai Yu could have simply invited Qing Sisi to dinner and then gone out to play, without needing to come to the girl's house.

The main reason he insists on coming to keep this girl company is because he can't get over the guilt in his heart.

Sitting next to the computer in Qing Sisi's room, watching me, this girl, operate the computer and play games.

It's only 11 a.m. now, a full hour before noon.

"Sisi, do you think you'd mind if we didn't end up together?"

Kata~

A crisp sound rang out as the mouse was suddenly tapped on the computer desk, followed by Qing Sisi's somewhat wary voice.

What does "senior" mean?

Looking at Bai Yu with a panicked expression, he felt a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

Although they won't actually be separated, his future actions might lead to that outcome, so...

"It's not that I mean anything else, I'm just scared. What would you do if the whole world opposed us being together, or if some unexpected situation prevented us from being together?"

Looking intently into Qing Sisi's panicked eyes, Bai Yu appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was not as calm as he seemed.

Putting down the mouse, Qing Sisi turned around and looked into Bai Yu's eyes. She stared at him for a full three seconds before slowly speaking.

"No one can separate us. If there is one... it must be my senior, but he definitely wouldn't do that, right?"

Bai Yu couldn't help but shudder slightly; she hadn't expected that this usually carefree girl would suddenly become so perceptive today.

He certainly wouldn't admit it, and besides, his plan wasn't to avoid being with this girl, but rather to be together better.

"That's right, it's possible for anyone to stop us from being together, but it's definitely not me. I'm afraid even if it's you... it won't be mine. Don't worry, Sisi."

Reaching out and squeezing Bai Yu's hand, Qing Sisi's previously panicked eyes regained their liveliness and innocence, and a smile returned to her face.

All these changes were within Bai Yu's expectations, but the girl didn't fully understand the meaning behind Bai Yu's words. If she had realized the sentence in Bai Yu's words that even if it was her, it wouldn't be him, perhaps the girl wouldn't have laughed.

Of course, in the current state, no one would notice the information revealed in this sentence, let alone Qing Sisi, who trusted Bai Yu very much.

"Sisi, we can leave after this game. You pack up, I'm going to the restroom first."

Upon hearing this, Qing Sisi smiled and nodded before continuing to immerse herself in the unfinished game.

Bai Yu opened the room door and quickly went into the bathroom.

He wasn't coming to use the restroom; he was coming to make a phone call inside the restroom.

This time, Bai Yu called someone she didn't usually contact, but a guy from high school whom she disliked.

This person had been openly and secretly opposing him back in high school, but the two had never truly broken off relations.

To be more precise, Bai Yu was simply pretending to be naive and unaware of his jealousy.

The reason I'm contacting him now is simply to take advantage of him, and I'm even using our high school friendship to get him into the most crucial part of the plan.

The friends Qing Siling invited will definitely not cooperate too much with her plans later, because they are all Qing Siling's people and are very likely to know Qing Sisi.

Therefore, Bai Yu has to hire another outside helper, and it has to be the kind of friend who is fake cigarettes, fake alcohol, and fake friends.

Chapter 153 The Beginning of the Misunderstanding

The call was answered within ten seconds, and a young man's voice came through.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Hey, what's wrong, Lao Zhu? Don't you remember me?"

Upon hearing this, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a delighted laugh.

"Holy crap, it's Old Bai?"

"What's up? You still remember me, brother? How have you been lately?"

"Hey, I didn't get into the same university as you, and I'm not doing too well these days, just average. It's summer vacation and it's so hot outside, I don't really want to go out. Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

He reached out and scratched his head. Although what happened next might be a prank on this kid, what could he do when this guy was such a hypocrite?

"I called you because you're in Beicheng too, and I've been a bit bored lately, so I've made plans to go out with some friends. Do you want to..."

Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, a rejection came from the other end.

"Wait a minute, I know you guys well enough. If you want to go out, then go out and have some fun. This weather is so hot, I'm not going out."
