After my triumphs and defeats, I created multiple aliases across countless worlds.

Doesn't my own daughter know this?

But after seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's stubborn gaze, she knew that it was highly unlikely she could persuade her otherwise.

She has always had her own ideas.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been constantly urging each other to get married back then, yet they still hadn't gotten married.

The reason is simply that Hiratsuka Shizuka simply wouldn't listen to what they kept saying.

Therefore, this cannot be attributed to it either.

"Just do as I say!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka hadn't said anything before, but now it was her turn to make a decision.

She also demonstrated this decisiveness.

"I see...."

A calm expression flashed across Ping's mother's face, and she didn't press the matter further, since things had already been said to this extent.

"Okay, then let's do it this way."

After he finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the dining table. Bai Ye looked up at Hiratsuka Shizuka and began to have some plans in mind.

I have a feeling that this woman is a little different from before.

...

It wasn't until after dinner, when Hiratsuka Shizuka had finished her shower, that she glanced at Byakuya, and her expression seemed to say, "Come inside with me."

"You don't mean you want me to live in the same house as you, do you?"

Byakuya leaned close to Hiratsuka Shizuka and asked in a low voice.

Judging from Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression, it seems she really wants to live in the same house as me.

"Of course, I told you before I came. Don't worry, just sleep however you want, just like before."

A blush crossed Hiratsuka Shizuka's face. She glanced at her mother, then reached out and took Byakuya's hand, pulling him into the room.

After seeing the two enter the room together and close the door, Hiratsuka Shizuka's mother couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If that's the case, it seems I've been overthinking things before.

It seems that there are no problems with these two.

She actually understands Hiratsuka Shizuka.

If Hiratsuka Shizuka has absolutely no interest in Byakuya.

So it's impossible for Bai Ye to come in, and it's not just for that reason. If the two of them can live together, then it must not be entirely a pretense.

"Um...where am I sleeping tonight?"

There was clearly only one bed, not even a blanket for sleeping on the floor. Although Bai Ye didn't care, it was impossible for him to sleep directly on the floor, right?

"You sleep on the left, I'll sleep on the right. I also have something I want to ask you!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka tried her best to keep her tone calm.

But she was still trembling a little when she said those words.

After all, this was the first time she had slept in the same bed with someone of the opposite sex, and it seemed impossible for Hiratsuka Shizuka to remain calm.

"I see."

Bai Ye nodded. Although he felt something was off, he didn't say anything and simply lay down to look at the ceiling. Bai Ye could sense that the person next to him seemed more nervous than he had imagined.

But for some reason, Bai Ye felt a flutter in her heart at the scent of the jasmine-like shower gel mixed with the lingering fragrance of perfume.

Similarly, because of the flame that Kasumigaoka Utaha had ignited earlier, and that he hadn't even considered, Byakuya felt that it had dissipated quite a bit in his heart at this moment.

"Bai Ye, have you thought about where you'll go to school in the future?!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka paused for a moment, then started talking to Byakuya about what would happen next.

With about a month left before everyone goes their separate ways, she wanted to know exactly what Bai Ye would do.

At first, she thought Bai Ye would definitely get into a good school, and from that perspective, it seemed like the right path.

However, after learning about Byakuya's identity, Hiratsuka Shizuka knew that she shouldn't think so much at this time.

Bai Ye is a bestselling novelist, and her latest work seems to be receiving a very good response.

Although she didn't try to snatch the first edition, judging from online comments, while many people wanted to kill Bai Ye, the book was indeed a successful transformation.

Many people originally came with the intention of supporting the Intimate Paradise.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be such a big surprise.

Nowadays, Bai Ye can indeed be considered a bestselling author.

And his path doesn't necessarily have to be limited to his previous student life.

Although Hiratsuka Shizuka still believes that this is the path that Byakuya should take.

But ultimately, it all depends on Bai Ye himself.

"I haven't decided yet. Based on my grades, I could actually get into any university, but I'm considering whether or not to go to university."

Without the cheat code, Bai Ye would have followed the expected path: taking exams, getting into university, studying hard, working diligently, and then exploring the possibility of starting a business.

In short, his life was pretty predictable.

However, after acquiring the cheat ability, Bai Ye could no longer do that.

Because she could leave at any time, she wouldn't have been able to stay away from school indefinitely if Shizuka Hiratsuka hadn't granted her a special leave.

Universities may be more relaxed, but they can't just disappear forever.

Besides, it's not certain that you'll ever meet a teacher like Hiratsuka Shizuka again.

If a teacher keeps insisting that you come, but you always disappear, and in the end you can't graduate, it might be better for you not to come at all!

Chapter 243 - Is it really okay to sleep together?

Therefore, Bai Ye has always been conflicted about this kind of thing.

He felt that going there was actually a bit of a waste of his time.

If it weren't for Hiratsuka Shizuka giving him a break, he might have already dropped out of school.

Therefore, this university is actually dispensable for Bai Ye.

If they're willing to give me some time off, then Bai Ye is fine with that, just like now.

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Hiratsuka Shizuka's face flashed with anxiety, and she quickly said, "If that's the case, doesn't that mean you won't go to university? Don't skip school because of these novels. I think you can study and write at the same time. University isn't too stressful, and you can continue as you are now!"

In Hiratsuka Shizuka's view, this kind of thing is actually inherently unstable.

Who knows if I'll be able to write a book in the future? So it seems like this kind of thing isn't as safe as reading a book.

Besides, reading and writing novels are not contradictory at all.

Therefore, Hiratsuka Shizuya always believed that Byakuya had no need to make such a blind decision.

She hoped Bai Ye could calm down.

"Actually, it's not what you think, Xiaojing, is it...?"

A hint of helplessness flashed across Bai Ye's face. It wasn't because of that, but he also had no way to explain these issues.

Overall, it seems like they're just struggling with the decision rather than making a decision immediately.

"Why?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka turned to look at Byakuya's face, then, as if remembering something, turned her head away and dared not look at Byakuya any longer.

She always felt that looking at Bai Ye like that would make her keep having all sorts of wild thoughts, so she simply stopped looking at him.

That way, at least I won't have any other thoughts in my mind.

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka was also curious about why Byakuya had decided to do this.

"Actually, it's just a scheduling conflict. I'll probably be in the same situation as now, but I won't encounter someone like Xiaojing who keeps asking me for leave!"

"Call me teacher!!"

“…”

Bai Ye turned her head with a strange expression and glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka. She didn't seem to have any other opinions before.

Why am I suddenly calling her "teacher" now?

This woman seems rather strange.

I don't know if it's my imagination.

Bai Ye always felt that when those words were spoken to Hiratsuka Shizuka, they seemed to carry an indescribable feeling.

Moreover, given their current state, why would Hiratsuka Shizuka ask her to say this? What is she thinking?

"Alright, it's just a form of address anyway. You should understand what I mean by that, right?"
