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

The cafeteria at Beicheng University is quite large and upscale. Although it was Murong Liyue's first time eating at the cafeteria, she was neither dissatisfied nor particularly satisfied.

Bai Yu thought that leaving the cafeteria would mean parting ways, and that she could go back to her dorm to finish her daily games and catch up on sleep, as she still had evening self-study to attend.

But Murong Liyue, as if possessed, asked Bai Yu what he usually liked to do.

Bai Yu's answer to this question was simply, "Playing games."

He might have hesitated a bit in his previous life to give this answer. He would give different answers depending on the type of girl, and Bai Yu's answers were different for every type of girl.

But now he is Bai Yu, Bai Yu who has said goodbye to his "scumbag" image and is being his true self again. He likes playing games, which is a man's romance!

Bai Yu thought that Murong Liyue would leave dismissively upon hearing that he liked playing games, but she was wrong. Murong Liyue not only did not leave dismissively, but instead said calmly.

Take me with you next time!

As soon as Murong Liyue said this, Bai Yu felt something was wrong. Murong Liyue might be seriously ill. She was playing games with her, but this young lady had never played any games before.

"Okay, next time it'll be a billion!"

Bai Yu was not about to play games with a girl, especially not a girl like Miss Murong Liyue. So, it would be a certainty next time.

Seeing that Bai Yu agreed, Murong Liyue nodded and walked towards the school gate.

Looking at that tall figure, even after living two lives, Bai Yu couldn't help but admire Murong Liyue's beauty. If she hadn't been hiding, perhaps...

Shaking his head, he turned and left alone. No sooner had Bai Yu left than Murong Liyue turned to look at his departing figure.

Since the time Bai Yu tackled Murong Liyue, she has activated some unknown skills.

This gave Murong Liyue the illusion that she wanted to monitor Bai Yu at all times.

At this moment, Bai Yu had no idea what kind of psychological changes his accidental fall would bring to Murong Liyue.

Perhaps in his previous life he did use every trick in the book to win over Murong Liyue, but sometimes the saying "a chance encounter can lead to unexpected success" is not without merit.

Back in the dorm, Bai Yu felt like she had stepped into an ice cellar as soon as she kicked open the door. Looking up at the air conditioner, the temperature was sixteen degrees Celsius. Good heavens, Li Cheng and the other two guys were all playing games in the dorm, wrapped in blankets. That's too much!

Although it rains on and off outside and the weather is indeed a bit muggy, it's not like the air conditioner is set so low that it's not turned off even though I'm wrapped in a blanket.

"Are you all playing?"

As soon as Bai Yu returned to her dormitory, she forgot all worldly affairs and began to enter e-sports mode.

6:30 PM —

Time flies when playing games. It seems like you've only been playing for a short while, but when you look at the time again, you're in big trouble. Their evening self-study session started at 7:00, but they played until 6:30.

The classroom is already far from the dormitory, so we'd better hurry up, or we'll get points deducted for being late.

He ran into the bathroom, turned on the tap to wash his face, grabbed a couple of tissues to wipe himself off, and then ran off.

I ran downstairs, and there were shared bikes on campus. I swiped my card to pick one up and rode off.

Bai Yu, Li Cheng, and Feng Zhou can all ride bicycles, but Wen Chiqi is the only one who can't.

The three of them had ridden several hundred meters when they discovered that Wen Chiqi was still watching them longingly from behind.

Upon seeing this, the dormitory had to be neat and tidy. Bai Yu turned the bike around and let Wen Chiqi sit in the basket of her bicycle.

So, on the vast forest path of the college, you could see three figures riding bicycles at breakneck speed, with a person sitting in the last one.

Cycling is much faster than walking; it only took about ten minutes to get to the classroom building.

After stopping the car, Bai Yu, Li Cheng, and Feng Zhou turned and ran upstairs to the classroom building.

However, the three of them abandoned Wen Chiqi, who was sitting in the basket of the bicycle, first, but unfortunately, he got stuck.

However, they were still a step too late; all four members of the dorm were late.

Thankfully, it was only the beginning of my freshman year, and I was lucky enough not to run into my counselor the first time I was late, which saved me from a disaster. Otherwise, I would have lost points on my conduct.

Upon entering the classroom, Bai Yu was drenched in sweat, having brought Wen Chiqi along on his bicycle.

Looking around the classroom, everyone in the front row was already seated, leaving only the last row of seats, and Su Rongxue was sitting in that very last row.

Unfortunately, Bai Yu couldn't refuse to sit, so she and Su Rongxue, along with Li Cheng and the other two, sat in the last row.

As soon as he sat down, a small hand timidly handed him a tissue. Chapter Thirty-One: Fate and Time

Turning around, I saw that the person handing me the tissue was none other than Su Rongxue, the silver-haired loli.

Bai Yu didn't stand on ceremony with Su Rongxue's kindness. She took the tissue from Su Rongxue's hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

When Li Cheng and the other two saw that Bai Yu and Su Rongxue seemed to be doing something ambiguous, they laughed and pushed Bai Yu to the empty seat next to Su Rongxue.

However, in Su Rongxue's eyes, Li Cheng and the other two were trying to keep their distance from Bai Yu.

Although the three of them were laughing for no apparent reason, they were definitely rejecting Bai Yu!

Clearly, Su Rongxue had started what she considered to be her own imagination again.

However, Bai Yu was completely unaware of these thoughts of hers.

And he didn't sit down there either, since maintaining a good distance is the best approach.

Bai Yu was allowed to play games during evening self-study. At first, it was fine, but after an hour, Bai Yu started to fall asleep on the table.

I don't know if there's some unique magic in the classroom, or something else entirely.

Anyway, once she lay down, Bai Yu felt that it was much more comfortable to sleep than sleeping in the dormitory.

Even when Su Rongxue playfully touched Bai Yu's arm with her small hand, Bai Yu didn't react at all.

However, it's also possible that Su Rongxue's touch made Bai Yu dream of that blood-red night once again.

The image of a silver-haired girl saying she loves you while stabbing you repeatedly is an incomparable demon to Bai Yu.

Holy crap!

Suddenly, he raised his head and shouted this.

Goodness, not only did Su Rongxue's heart skip a beat, but even Li Cheng and the other two were startled by Bai Yu's perplexing behavior.

"What the hell are you doing? Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Li Cheng sat next to Bai Yu, clearly frightened by her; his tone betrayed his displeasure at being startled.

Bai Yu ignored him and instead turned to look at Su Rongxue beside her.

When he looked at Su Rongxue, Su Rongxue was also looking at him. When their eyes met, Bai Yu had a rare fear in his eyes, while Su Rongxue had a shy look in hers.

Bai Yu reached out and patted Li Cheng on the shoulder, indicating that she wanted to switch places with him.

However, Li Cheng refused to do it no matter what, which made Bai Yu feel helpless. She couldn't exactly talk about her past life or how she was killed by Su Rongxue's firewood knife in her previous life, could she?

Bai Yu's attempt to switch places made Su Rongxue sense Bai Yu's resistance towards her.

Although she didn't know why Bai Yu suddenly became so resistant to her, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

She just wanted to be ordinary friends with Bai Yu so that Bai Yu wouldn't be ostracized, so why does it feel like it's getting harder and harder?

However, Su Rongxue was also a stubborn girl. The more she wanted to accomplish something, the more difficult it was, and the more determined she was to do it.

Li Cheng and his two companions were also puzzled by Bai Yu's perplexing behavior. Su Rongxue, this beautiful girl, had clearly been friendly to him, yet he ignored her when given the chance.

After evening self-study ended, it started pouring rain again. This time, Bai Yu ran even faster than Li Cheng and the other two, taking a step and running into the rainy night without any hesitation.

Before Su Rongxue could call out to him, he had already run far away.

Clenching her small fists and biting her lip, Su Rongxue couldn't understand why Bai Yu was so resistant to her.

Listening to the torrential rain pouring down in her ears, Bai Yu stopped running after a while.

Perhaps that dream reminded Bai Yu of the fear of death.

The cool rain slid down her face, which made Bai Yu feel much more awake.

This is a fresh start after rebirth. I don't have to go through that scene again, nor do I need to think about it anymore!

He reached out and wiped his face, but at that moment an umbrella was placed over his head.

Looking to the side, I saw a pair of worried eyes.

"Little brother, it's raining so hard, you'll catch a cold if you climb back like this. Should I go back with you?"

Looking at Si Yu's worried gaze, and then at the person wearing a tracksuit, it seemed they had played tennis before evening self-study.

"No need, I think getting rained on is just fine!"

After saying that, Bai Yu started running again, perhaps wanting to do everything he could to avoid it!

Upon witnessing this scene, Si Yu took a few steps and ran away, but Bai Yu ran very fast, and before she could say anything, she was already far away.

Looking down at her soaked sneakers and trouser legs, Si Yu realized that this was from when she went downstairs and saw Bai Yu running out, and then she chased after her.

She knew that Bai Yu wouldn't bring an umbrella, and she had originally planned to go back with Bai Yu under an umbrella, but she didn't expect that Bai Yu would run back alone in the rainy night!

For some reason, at this moment, Si Yu stood still, holding an umbrella, listening to the sound of rain falling on the umbrella, and watching Bai Yu's running figure, which seemed to be deliberately avoiding her.

At that moment, a graceful figure passed by Si Yu, carrying a red umbrella, with long blue hair cascading down her back, and wearing crystal sandals, walking forward at a leisurely pace.

The girl was none other than Murong Liyue, whom Si Yu had met once outside the school. Seeing her again made Si Yu sigh in admiration for Murong Liyue's temperament and beauty.

However, Si Yu always felt that the girl was heading in Bai Yu's direction, although this might just be a misperception.

At this moment, Bai Yu was clearly tired after running for a while, but her body was already soaked.

Rather than saying that being soaked is uncomfortable, it's more accurate to say that getting caught in the rain in summer is actually quite pleasant and refreshing.

I ran to the school's huge lawn, trampling on the grass that had already been soaked by the rain, and walked around the lawn to sit down on a wooden bench under a big tree.

Summer rain can calm Bai Yu's somewhat restless heart.

Although the rain was heavy, sitting on the public benches under the shade of several large trees provided good shelter.

He reached out and wiped the water off his face and his wet hair. Before Bai Yu could even sit down for a while, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out behind him, followed by a red umbrella overhead.

"What are you doing sitting here in such heavy rain!"

Looking up behind me, even though I knew it was Murong Liyue from the voice, I still instinctively went to take a look.

Murong Liyue was still the same; she always spoke in a commanding tone, and her manner was always straightforward.

"It's nothing, just taking shelter from the rain."

"Don't sit here, let's go!"
