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

In her opinion, Bai Yu wasn't trying to consider Su Rongxue's feelings, but rather wanted to act recklessly without getting a marriage certificate.

"Bai Yu, Auntie really likes you and Xiao Xue together. You two must love each other very much, right?"

"Yes, Auntie."

"What impact will getting the marriage certificate have on Xiaoxue? They love each other very much, so they'd definitely prefer to get the certificate sooner, right?"

Honestly, Bai Yu's little schemes were no match for Luo Er'ai Li's, but he had no choice but to take the gamble.

“Auntie, what you said is true. For me, getting a marriage certificate is definitely a good thing. But for Su Rongxue, who is very shy, once the news of her marriage and marriage certificate gets out, there will definitely be a lot of people watching her and even questioning her. She will be scared.”

Bai Yu's statement was indeed correct, and Luo Er'ai Li also thought it was correct. After all, she knew her daughter best, and her biggest fear since childhood was interpersonal communication and talking to strangers.

"Auntie really didn't expect this, but the documents still need to be processed. As long as you don't tell Xiaoxue about it everywhere, and your friends don't spread it around, it's not a big deal. Of course, even if they do tell, it won't cause any harm."

After reading Luo Er'ai Li's reply, Bai Yu was truly devastated.

After all that talk, it turned out that Su Ma had no intention of backing down at all, so it was all for nothing.

"Auntie, what you're saying isn't really considering Xiaoxue's feelings. Only her friends and I know about her shyness. And these things can't be kept secret forever. Soon the whole school will know that Xiaoxue and I are married. The main problem is that Xiaoxue is very popular at school. It would be fine if she didn't have so much attention."

Bai Yu had no choice but to step up his efforts to fight for himself. After all, if Luo Er'ai Li were to process his marriage certificate with Su Rongxue, his relationship with Murong Liyue would be exposed very quickly, and he would be doomed.

Actually, it's not a big deal if something happens to him. He's not afraid of anything, no matter how big the problem is. What he's afraid of is that this kind of thing will affect his parents again, or even involve the other girls, and eventually it will get out of control.

The situation is now clearly showing signs of improvement, and he must seize the opportunity.

“Xiaoyu, I understand your concern for Xiaoxue, but Xiaoxue is more afraid that you won’t want to register the marriage with her than that she is afraid of being noticed. This is more frightening to her than anything else.”

These words put Bai Yu in an even more difficult situation. If she continued to insist that she didn't want to get the marriage certificate so soon, things would definitely become suspicious.

"I see... Well then, Auntie, from now on I'll just have to be careful not to let Xiaoxue get asked so many questions."

There was nothing that could be done; it seemed that Luo Er'ai Li was determined to get him and Su Rongxue a marriage certificate, leaving no room for negotiation.

He turned off his phone screen and let out a long sigh. At that moment, he felt extremely exhausted.

If this matter is not resolved properly, it will be a ticking time bomb that will explode when the time comes.

Turning her head to look at Bai Yu's expression as he gazed out the window, Su Rongxue saw his conversation with her mother. Although she didn't know exactly what they were talking about, she roughly knew it was about her and him getting married and registering their marriage.

"Bai Yu... what are you looking at?"

A soft, gentle voice lingered in Bai Yu's ears, tender yet tinged with a hint of timidity.

He turned his head to look into Su Rongxue's eyes, pursed his lips, and then said.

"Xiaoxue, if we can't change the fact that we're getting a marriage certificate, then I hope your mother won't tell my family about what I've done. You can have your mother cause me trouble for anything, because it's all my fault, okay?"

"Bai Yu... Mom won't cause you any trouble, no one will cause you any trouble."

The moment Bai Yu uttered those words, Su Rongxue seemed to realize that she had done something wrong and tried her best to make amends.

But Bai Yu's next words made her truly feel a sense of fear.

"You can't just not cause me trouble. If you don't, they'll go after my parents and drag my family into it. Si Yu and the others will be implicated too. I don't want to see any of that, because it would be a thousand times worse than death. Do you understand?"

"No, no, you shouldn't say things like that..."

Su Rongxue reached out and covered Bai Yu's mouth, terrified that he would say the word "death".

For her, it didn't matter who died, except for Bai Yu, because she never wanted to experience that feeling of emptiness and coldness again.

He reached out and pulled Su Rongxue to cover her mouth, then Bai Yu replied with a wry smile.

“These words are not just random talk, they are true. I have told you time and time again that I am not a good person, but a very, very bad person, an evil person. Losing any of my closest relatives or loved ones would make me wish I were dead, and it would be more pleasant to be dead.”

Raising her small hand, Su Rongxue quickly covered Bai Yu's mouth to stop her from talking nonsense, her eyes involuntarily reddening, and then she choked out.

"Then...what should we do? I don't want you to leave me..."

She suddenly started crying during class, which attracted a lot of attention. Even the teacher probably noticed that Su Rongxue was pulling Bai Yu and crying in the back row, so she quickly spoke up.

"Hey, you in the back row... Bai Yu, what's wrong with you? Why are you making fun of Su Rongxue? Stand up."

Goodness, Bai Yu was completely baffled by this scolding. The teacher should at least ask clearly how she was so sure that she had bullied Su Rongxue. Couldn't it have been Su Rongxue who was crying?

"No, teacher, I didn't bully Su Rongxue. She suddenly thought of something sad and cried. She's usually quite prone to crying."

"Is that so, Su Rongxue?"

Upon hearing the teacher's question, Su Rongxue quickly nodded in agreement, then cautiously leaned against Bai Yu and said...

"I...I wasn't bullied, I'm fine..."

The teacher frowned slightly, then waved for Bai Yu to sit down before continuing the lesson.

Bai Yu, who had just sat down, breathed a sigh of relief. Then she turned to look at Su Rongxue, and was about to say that this girl shouldn't cry so easily, but when she saw Su Rongxue carefully tugging at her clothes and lowering her head in silence, she couldn't bear to say anything to her.

"Sigh, Xiaoxue, if nothing unexpected happens, no one wants to leave the other. It's just that there are some things that I really can't change on my own. After all, one person's efforts can't make a difference between two people."

Bai Yu's statement is actually somewhat problematic, because it's not that one person's efforts can't bring about the outcome for two people, but rather that one person's efforts are trying to bring about the outcome for six people, which is as fantastical as a dream.

If you were to say that Su Rongxue had ulterior motives, then she definitely did, since she certainly didn't want to give up the marriage certificate to Murong Liyue.

Of course, because she was afraid that Bai Yu would hate her little schemes, she could only use her mother and continue to be her obedient daughter.

She didn't want to grant Murong Liyue's wish, but she also didn't want Bai Yu to get into trouble.

The current situation requires a choice between Bai Yu's accident and whether or not to help Murong Liyue.

Clearly, if she had to choose between the two, she would choose Bai Yu without hesitation.

Because everything she did was to be with Bai Yu better, to feel his warmth and tenderness more. If something happened, would all of this still have any meaning?

"Bai Yu...I'm sorry, I...can I talk to Mom about us again?"

Clutching Bai Yu's sleeve, Su Rongxue wore an extremely aggrieved expression.

Bai Yu didn't have much hope for this girl either. After all, she had already spoken to her before, and Luo Er'ai Li's attitude was very firm, leaving no room for negotiation. There was nothing she could do.

But how could he possibly know that Su Rongxue had never discussed anything with Luo Er'ai Li, and had been lying to him all along?

After all, this girl has always been a good girl, and no one would have thought she would lie, right?

"It's alright, Xiaoxue. Even if the hope is slim, I will do my best to find a solution. After all, I, Baiyu, am not someone who gives up easily."

Seeing Bai Yu's determined gaze, Su Rongxue didn't say anything more, but she already knew very well that if she didn't back down, she would still end up like she did in her previous life.

However, this concession would cause her extreme pain, so much so that she would want to bite someone.

Reaching out to grasp Bai Yu's hand, Su Rongxue unknowingly bit his arm.

The force of the bite was great, and Bai Yu frowned in pain but dared not make any big movements.

After all, they were in class, and struggling would put Su Rongxue in an embarrassing situation.

As for why Su Rongxue suddenly bit him, Bai Yi wasn't quite sure, but let the girl bite if she wants to. At least it's better than her having a fit and attacking someone, isn't it?

The bite force was so strong that blood quickly appeared on Bai Yu's arm.

The metallic taste of blood on her tongue brought Su Rongxue, who had been gritting her teeth in resentment, back to her senses.

Releasing her mouth, Su Rongxue looked at the deep teeth marks and the trickling blood on Bai Yu's arm. She neither apologized nor felt panicked. She simply stuck out her tongue and licked it.

Su Rongxue knew that apologizing was completely useless at this time, and she had no intention of apologizing anyway.

After all, he hated Murong Liyue, but he also hated Bai Yu.

If it weren't for Bai Yu's own problems, how could she have developed such hatred?

However, Su Rongxue has always been caught between love and hate. For her, every day is a painful experience, so it's normal for her to have some little thoughts sometimes. She just wants to get rid of the hatred as soon as possible and only leave her love for Bai Yu.

How can hatred be so easily eliminated?

After all, this is not as simple as just one lifetime; it involves a combination of the previous life, the next life, and this life, which is not easy for her.

Even Bai Yu herself is somewhat neurotic, not to mention Su Rongxue, who already has some mental issues, making it even harder for her to escape the entanglement of love and hate.

As for how long it will take for this girl to get rid of her hatred and live a good life, it may take several years, or it may never get rid of her hatred.

"Xiaoxue, stop licking. It's okay. I know you're upset, and I know you have a lot of grievances against me. I know all of that, but I really have no other choice. I'm sorry, Xiaoxue."

Shaking her head, Su Rongxue remained silent, still holding Bai Yu's arm and licking the blood that had seeped out.

Looking at the girl's long silver hair and rosy cheeks, Bai Yu felt both distressed and helpless. She was distressed because she didn't know what to do next, and helpless because she had already reached a dead end in this matter.

Chapter 193 Neither Will Back Down

After finishing her classes that day, Bai Yu went straight home and didn't stay with Su Rongxue any longer, mainly because being together wouldn't allow things to develop any further.

As for the fact that today, Tuesday, was the agreed-upon day to spend with Su Rongxue, the girl didn't say anything, because she needed to discuss it with her mother when she got back.

Everything she did was for her own benefit. Although she was indeed a yandere, Su Rongxue, with her memories of her previous two lives, was a little different.

Bai Yu went home after school that evening, and Su Rongxue didn't go out to dinner with Xia Rong. Instead, she called her mother, wanting to make a change regarding the marriage certificate.

The call was answered very quickly.

"Hey, Xiaoxue? What's wrong?"

Luo Er'ai's voice was very gentle.

"Mom, may I ask you something?"

"Sure, is there anything you'd like to ask?"

"Regarding my marriage certificate with Bai Yu, I think... I want to postpone it..."

As soon as Su Rongxue said this, Luo Er'ai Li on the other end of the phone fell silent.

The main problem is that Bai Yu just talked to her about this issue today, and now Su Rongxue is calling again to bring it up, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.

To put it bluntly, Luo Er'ai Li felt that Bai Yu was hiding something from her and Su Rongxue. Otherwise, why would anyone want to keep delaying such an important matter as getting a marriage certificate?

"Xiaoxue, did Baiyu ask you to tell me this, or did you want to do it yourself? Can you tell Mom why?"

Holding her phone, Su Rongxue was conflicted and hesitant. She was conflicted because she was going to lie to her mother. Was it really the right thing to do? She hesitated because she was wondering if she should really back down and let Murong Liyue get her way.

"Xiaoxue? What's wrong?"

Su Rongxue took a long time to consider it, so much so that she didn't receive a reply for a long time and questioned me, Luo Er'ai Li.

"Mom, I...I want to get our marriage certificate, but I'm afraid that if too many people find out, it will affect my and Bai Yu's normal life, so...could we postpone it? We can get it after graduation..."

In the end, Su Rongxue's answer was to back down, because she was more afraid of losing Bai Yu than of gaining her.

Although she didn't know what her mother would do after finding out about Bai Yu and Murong Liyue, she was certain that Bai Yu would not have an easy time.
