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

This kind of introduction makes him seem very aloof, and it also makes everyone wary of approaching him, especially introverted girls like Su Rongxue. They should be advised to stay away from him because of his aloofness and unapproachability.

Of course, Bai Yu did achieve his goal, because Su Rongxue noticed him, but just as he expected, she was a little scared.

"Xiaoxue, that guy behind you seems so aloof. He's quite handsome, and if he were a bit more warm and friendly, lots of people would like him. It's a shame he seems so unapproachable."

"Exactly, but being aloof is also quite handsome."

Hearing her roommates whispering, Su Rongxue subconsciously glanced at Bai Yu, but immediately looked away, her face even slightly flushed, as if afraid Bai Yu would notice her peeking. (Chapter 4: What a coincidence! - Second Update)

The class meeting mainly consisted of self-introductions and talking about some miscellaneous and unimportant things. Soon, the counselor dismissed everyone for free activities.

For Bai Yu and her roommates, this was naturally the time to head to the internet cafe for a gaming session.

Although everyone has a laptop to play games, the network in the dormitory is not good and it drops out from time to time, so neither the atmosphere nor the comfort can compare with the internet cafe outside.

Sometimes I can't help but wonder if there's some shady deal between the school and the internet cafes outside, because the network is so unstable.

As soon as Bai Yu and her three friends left the classroom, a girl with long, loose hair and black-rimmed glasses standing next to Su Rongxue pointed in the direction Bai Yu had left and laughed.

"Xiaoxue, don't you think that boy named Bai Yu is really special? All the boys in our class either steal glances at you or look at you unintentionally, but he doesn't even look at you once. You're so pretty and cute, aren't you going to make us jealous to death?"

"No...nothing like that..."

Upon hearing this, Su Rongxue quickly waved her hand apologetically to indicate that she didn't, but her eyes, which seemed to hold a pool of autumn water, looked in the direction where Bai Yu had left.

After playing games for several hours, Bai Yu and his friends, who had boasted about how awesome they were before entering the internet cafe, were left feeling sullen. They had imagined an easy winning streak, but instead, they suffered a series of defeats.

However, Bai Yu was already used to it. When she went to play games with her three roommates, her win rate was less than 20%. They were always on a losing streak. It was an unchanging rule, and even rebirth couldn't change it.

As soon as we got back to the dorm, everyone washed up and said they were going to sleep, but all we could see were people lying in bed scrolling through their phones. Just like in the previous life, saying they were going to sleep meant they were actually getting into bed and getting ready to sleep.

The next morning—

Bai Yu and his classmates are freshmen, so military training is a must. Unless someone is sick or missing an arm or leg, everyone has to participate, and the training lasts for a whole month.

This was nothing short of torture for the four members of the Baiyu group, who were all otaku.

If only I could fast-forward another month if I could be reborn, that's what Bai Yu really thinks.

Today is the first day of school. All the new students have to pick up their military uniforms and take them home. Military training will begin the next day.

Bai Yu and the other three slept straight into work at 10:30. After getting up, washing up, and going out to collect their military uniforms, it was already past 11:00.

Unfortunately, Bai Yu's originally lazy expression perked up the moment she saw Su Rongxue arrive.

He took out his phone to check the time; it was almost 11:30. He knew he was so late to pick up his uniform because he was sleeping in, but he knew very well that Su Rongxue would never sleep in like him. Why was she also so late?

Thinking about this, Bai Yu felt that it was none of her business and that she could just pretend she hadn't seen Su Rongxue.

Standing to the side, Bai Yu did not collect her military uniform, because she wanted Su Rongxue to collect it first.

But Su Rongxue stood aside and didn't come forward to receive it, which left Bai Yu speechless.

At this time, there aren't many people. Why is Su Rongxue standing there like an idiot instead of going up to collect it?

What Bai Yu didn't know was that Su Rongxue was a little afraid of his cold expression, so she wanted Bai Yu to take it quickly so she could leave, and then she would go up and get it herself.

As a result, both of them wanted the other to go first, and that's how they bumped into each other in such a strange way.

"Hey Bai Yu, hurry up and get your hair out of here. Let's go eat. Stop standing here trying to look cool."

Li Cheng patted Bai Yu's shoulder teasingly, signaling Bai Yu to hurry up and leave.

I glanced at Su Rongxue, who was standing to the side with her head down. She had come to collect her military uniform but no one had come with her. Her lonely appearance made her look rather pitiful.

Bai Yu walked up to the teacher distributing military uniforms and revealed his size. The teacher then told him to pick out his size from the pile of uniforms that had been sorted by size.

However, perhaps out of instinct, or perhaps because he couldn't bear to see the introverted Su Rongxue looking so pitiful as she came to collect her uniform alone, he pretended to subconsciously take a smaller set of uniforms after taking his own and walked towards the teacher.

After getting closer, he casually placed it next to the teacher, smiling and saying that he had taken the wrong one.

Of course, you collect your items inside the door, so Su Rongxue, who was standing outside, couldn't see what Bai Yu was doing inside.

After receiving their military uniforms, Bai Yu, Li Cheng, and the other two returned to their dormitory to put away their clothes before going to eat.

As for Su Rongxue, who revealed her height and size upon entering, she didn't think much of the fact that there was a military uniform of her size next to the teacher. She just thought it was a coincidence. However, she felt a strange sense of fear towards Bai Yu.

On the way back to the dormitory, Li Cheng and his two friends kept discussing how beautiful Su Rongxue was and how timid she seemed.

Bai Yu, however, remained completely oblivious to the situation, not uttering a single word, which made Li Cheng and the other two begin to seriously doubt whether Bai Yu had any issues with her taste.

After returning to my dorm and putting my things away, I took out my phone to check the time; it was almost midnight.

However, Bai Yu happened to open WeChat when she took out her phone. Looking at the red dot at the bottom of her WeChat contacts, it showed that Bai Yu had not yet accepted Si Yu's friend request.

Bai Yu only glanced at her before still not agreeing. He truly had no intention of having any connection whatsoever with any of his four girlfriends from his previous life.

But sometimes fate likes to play tricks on people. Just as Bai Yu was thinking of avoiding any contact with Si Yu, she happened to see Si Yu preparing to cross the road as soon as she stepped out of the school gate.

Today, Si Yu was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and a gray-black denim mini skirt. Her long, snow-white legs were the focus of all the boys' attention.

However, Bai Yu was the only exception. He turned around, squatted down, and started tying his shoelaces, which were still completely loose. This action seemed very deliberate and obvious.

Li Cheng and the other two looked at Bai Yu's strange behavior with puzzled expressions.

"Hey Bai Yu, why did you suddenly turn around, squat down, untie your shoelaces, and then tie them again? Are you hiding something?"

Feng Zhou just said it casually, but the thing is, he was right. Bai Yu was hiding something.

It's not just that she doesn't want to contact Si Yu; what's more embarrassing is that she hasn't agreed to WeChat contact yet, and it wouldn't be good if she got caught.

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he looked down and saw the crowd behind him starting to move across the road.

Just as he stood up, ready to greet Li Cheng and the other two with a smile, a familiar female voice suddenly rang out beside him.

"Junior Brother Bai Yu, what a coincidence!"

Chapter Five: Women are truly strange creatures

The moment Bai Yu heard that voice, her heart jumped, and she felt like her whole body was about to break apart.

Turning to look at Si Yu, who was smiling at her and waving her delicate hand in greeting, Bai Yu saw a beautiful woman, but the scene in the hotel from her previous life kept replaying in her mind.

"Holy crap, Bai Yu, you two actually know each other?"

Li Cheng felt utterly shocked. How could such a beautiful girl like Si Yu know Bai Yu? It was only the first day of school!

"I met a senior student when the semester started, but we weren't very close!"

Bai Yu acted very aloof and straight-man-like in front of Si Yu, and didn't even lower his voice when he said this, which made Si Yu pout and feel a little dissatisfied.

"Junior, talking like that will make you lose your luck with girls. It's hurting my fragile heart, what should I do?!"

"It'll be ready in a bit."

Bai Yu was trying to dissuade Si Yu from pursuing her. Her aloof expression, indifferent attitude, and straightforward, masculine remarks were the best way to discourage her.

The two girls, one tall and one thin, the other short and one plump, standing next to Si Yu both cast admiring glances at Bai Yu, as if they had seen a handsome guy.

"Wow, Siyu, this junior is so handsome! He's so straightforward, such a straight man, but he's so funny!"

"Yes, when did you two meet?"

Hearing these words of praise mixed with teasing, if Bai Yu's forehead could display anything, it would definitely be covered in black lines.

Si Yu looked at the indifferent Bai Yu, covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Junior, are you guys out for lunch too?"

"Ah."

Bai Yu simply nodded, not giving Si Yu any further topics to discuss. This scene made Li Cheng, Wen Chiqi, and Feng Zhou all anxious for Bai Yu.

Such a beautiful senior, the mature and elegant type that everyone likes, with long, straight black hair, a great figure and a beautiful face, and she even took the initiative to chat with Bai Yu, this jerk, but this guy is just awkwardly chatting here, is he trying to drive me crazy?

However, Si Yu was getting used to Bai Yu's conversation-killing personality and took the initiative to find topics to talk about.

"Then let's go together. This meal is on me to welcome you to our Beicheng University, how about it?"

Hearing Si Yu's words, Bai Yu really wanted to say things like "There's no need" or "It's unnecessary" out loud.

But before he could even say it, Li Cheng and the other two started waving their hands in refusal.

"Senior, we're all guys, how can we let you treat us? We'll treat you, we'll treat you!"

"Yes, let us treat you. What would you like to eat? We can afford to treat you to a meal."

"Correct!"

Hearing the three guys immediately offer their hospitality, Bai Yu wanted to refuse, and they did, but please don't turn around and treat me!

"Let us invite them!"

Although he was a little unhappy that the three of them were going to treat Si Yu and the other girls to dinner, because it meant that he would have more contact with Si Yu.

And the worst part is that Si Yu hasn't asked why her WeChat hasn't accepted her friend request yet. She probably wants to ask when they have dinner together.

"No, no, this meal is on me. How about hot pot, barbecue, or à la carte? Everyone, please choose one?"

Si Yu isn't the type of manipulative woman. Most guys would offer to pay if a girl said she'd treat them, but manipulative women are good at taking advantage of that.

Si Yu is not that kind of person; she simply appears cheerful and enthusiastic.

It was precisely her cheerful and enthusiastic personality that attracted many boys to like her, both openly and secretly.

Li Cheng and his two companions were clearly rarely treated to meals by girls, and they all seemed a bit too embarrassed. But Bai Yu was different; in her previous life, she had taken advantage of Si Yu's meals quite a bit.

To this day, Bai Yu still remembers that in her previous life she borrowed three thousand yuan from Si Yu to pick up girls and never paid it back, and Si Yu never brought up the topic.

Of course, that was the scumbag Bai Yu from the previous life. The Bai Yu in this life is completely different; you could say it's a different person.

He couldn't possibly be a scumbag any further. He just wanted to avoid any contact or connection with his four girlfriends from his previous life. If he were to become a scumbag again, wouldn't that just be repeating the same mistakes?

Now that Si Yu is going to treat everyone, and Bai Yu can't refuse, she has no choice but to accept. Why not take advantage of a free meal, right?

Although Si Yu might ask him later why he didn't agree to be WeChat friends, Bai Yu had already thought of a solution in advance!

After the final vote, the boys listened to the girls, and the girls chose barbecue. So, Bai Yu and the other three boys, along with Si Yu and the other three girls, went to a barbecue restaurant in the university town.

Upon entering the store, Bai Yu deliberately slowed her pace, partly to avoid joining in the girls' conversation, and partly to avoid talking to Si Yu by walking at the back.

But it seemed that Bai Yu was destined to be unable to avoid this kind of thing. When Si Yu saw him walking at the back, he took the initiative to slow down and walk alongside him.
