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

Mr. Li Cheng, this burly man, put his arm around Bai Yu's shoulder and asked with a grin.

How could Bai Yu not go after regaining her senses? Even if she had some troubles, she couldn't not go. Food is food, but isn't surfing the internet also spiritual food?

"Go, how could I not go? I feel uncomfortable if I don't have enough spiritual nourishment."

"Alright, let's go eat now, the four of us. We can go to roll call right after we finish eating. It's our first day back at school, so evening self-study is just roll call and then get out of class is over. It's so convenient."

"Hurry up, the sooner we finish, the sooner we can get things done!"

Li Cheng, Feng Zhou, and Wen Chiqi all displayed a positive, optimistic, and cheerful attitude.

Bai Yu, however, remained silent with a smile, her mind in turmoil.

However, the four of them had only been out for a short while when Bai Yu told the other three to go out and eat first, as he had some things to do back in his dorm and could wait for him while they ate.

Li Cheng and the other two had no idea that Bai Yu had suddenly gotten into trouble, but they figured it was fine to leave first. So they told Bai Yu to hurry up and they went downstairs chatting about the game.

The reason Bai Yu wanted the three of them to leave first was not for any other reason than that she would be caught by Murong Liyue as soon as she went downstairs, and the three bastards would definitely make a fuss. In order to avoid such a situation, it was better to let the three bastards leave first.

Back on the dormitory balcony, Bai Yu saw Li Cheng, Feng Zhou, and Wen Chiqi looking back repeatedly at Murong Liyue standing at the dormitory door. She was glad she hadn't gone down with them.

After the three guys had walked away, Bai Yu slowly went downstairs to face her fate.

As soon as Bai Yu reached the corner of the stairs on the first floor, he saw Murong Liyue standing quietly at the dormitory entrance. There was no one else around her, but all the boys couldn't help but look at her.

Beautiful women, if not attractive, then what is? Money? It certainly seems quite attractive!

Even if Bai Yu didn't want to have anything to do with Murong Liyue, she still had to tidy herself up and at least dress in a respectable manner, right?

Excuse me, is Bai Yu that kind of person?

Obviously not that kind of person; he's wearing flip-flops and shorts, practically ready to dance naked!

As for his appearance, it's fortunate that Bai Yu is somewhat good-looking, otherwise he would really look like a scoundrel.

However, Murong Liyue did not show any displeasure or extra expression when Bai Yu came downstairs wearing only slippers. She simply asked a question in a cool tone.

"What to eat?"

"Let's eat at the cafeteria, this meal is on me. Don't refuse, I need to go to the classroom for roll call after we eat, refusing would be a waste of time!"

After saying that, Bai Yu walked directly past Murong Liyue toward the cafeteria. Her behavior could only be described as cold and aloof.

As for Li Cheng and the other two waiting for him outside the school, all we can say is that he stood us up this time. There was nothing we could do; Murong Liyue was too busy to leave him.

If you're saying you can't shake them off, why don't you know how to scold them?

scold?

If you can't even avoid it, why would you want to confront it head-on? That's like an old man eating poison and having a death wish!

That despicable capitalism has plenty of ways to ruin you, not to mention that Murong Liyue isn't even a normal person!

Seeing Bai Yu heading towards the cafeteria, Murong Liyue said nothing more and followed her.

As for eating poor food, how could that be? A young lady like Murong Liyue would at least order food from the menu.

However, Bai Yu was different. He insisted on eating two dishes and a soup for twelve RMB per meal on the first floor, and he had to get them himself. As for whether Murong Liyue should eat or not, if she didn't, it would be exactly what Bai Yu wanted.

His plan seemed to have no flaws, but Murong Liyue wasn't the kind of princess he imagined who wouldn't eat ordinary meals.

Instead, she ate whatever Bai Yu ate, making Murong Liyue seem somewhat out of place among the rows of seats on the first floor of the cafeteria.

It was as dazzling and special as a bright star falling into the dark mortal world.

However, Bai Yu noticed that Murong Liyue seemed to be a bit of a germaphobe, or rather, very clean. She wiped all the food plates and chairs she sat on with tissues several times.

For Bai Yu, there weren't so many problems. It was good enough to have food to eat. For his grandfather's generation, even food was a problem!

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Murong Liyue. After all, she is a young lady. Being able to eat in a regular canteen shows that she does not think she is superior to others just because she is rich. At least she does not have the idea of ​​being above others.

"If you don't have money for food, you can come to me!"

Bai Yu had just sat down and taken a bite of her meal when Murong Liyue coldly uttered a thought-provoking sentence. Chapter Fifty-Seven: Unfortunately, There Are No Ifs

Bai Yu held a spoonful of rice in her hand, hovering it near her mouth, and looked up at Murong Liyue with puzzled eyes.

When Murong Liyue saw Bai Yu's look, she remained calm and spoke as usual.

"You're treating us to dinner, but you're broke here, aren't you?"

Good grief, so it turns out that eating in the cafeteria is considered a sign of being broke.

Of course, it seems a bit like a guy is short of money to treat a girl to a meal, especially when he comes to eat the cheapest communal food in the cafeteria.

Murong Liyue was just too blunt. Although she didn't mean to look down on anyone, she was still too direct.

But can Bai Yu say she's short of money?

That's definitely not going to work. If I say I'm short of money, then Murong Liyue will immediately send me money, and she'll start thinking about buying people, won't she?

"I don't lack anything, I just feel that eating something simple is fine. Eating too well all day long would make me lose some of the simple flavor!"

Are you talking about me?

Murong Liyue's fingers trembled slightly as she held the spoon. She raised her willow-leaf eyebrows and looked calmly at Bai Yu.

She wasn't displeased by Bai Yu's words, nor did she show any extra expression because of them; she simply looked at him quietly.

Bai Yu felt genuinely intimidated by Murong Liyue's calm and collected demeanor; the woman's temperament and behavior were simply overwhelming.

"No, it's just that I eat too well at home, so I just want to grab a quick bite here!"

Bai Yu certainly couldn't say that he was alluding to Murong Liyue, and naturally, he didn't have that intention; it was just a casual remark.

"The freshman military training has ended, and there will be a party during the freshman opening ceremony."

Murong Liyue's sudden remark left Bai Yu somewhat confused about its meaning.

What's wrong with the party?

Bai Yu naturally knew about the party, after all, they had all been there. But the party was for freshmen, so what did it have to do with Murong Liyue?

"The student organization will be attending and promoting the event. Are you coming?"

"I'm not coming!"

Bai Yu didn't even consider it; such a thing was definitely out of the question, and she had no desire to do anything that would attract attention.

But when Bai Yu rejected her without even thinking, Murong Liyue didn't say much, maintaining her aloof expression.

"Row."

These words, spoken by Murong Liyue, were as calm as if nothing had happened, as if it were perfectly normal.

However, after that one sentence, they fell silent.

It wasn't exactly awkward, but the atmosphere definitely wasn't very natural.

Murong Liyue may not have any psychological burden, but Bai Yu felt uncomfortable all over, and the fact that she didn't say a word at this moment made her feel even more uncomfortable.

However, Bai Yu ate very quickly and finished her meal in no time.

"I've finished eating and I need to go to the classroom for roll call, so I'm leaving now, club president!"

After saying that, Bai Yu got up and put the tableware back in the recycling area. But he noticed that the moment he got up, Murong Liyue's eating pace, which had been slow and delicate, quickened.

However, speeding up wouldn't mean losing that elegance and poise. It was obvious that Murong Liyue also wanted to finish eating quickly to catch up with Bai Yu, but with that small mouth eating at such a fast pace, Bai Yu felt that he could eat two big bowls, but this girl probably couldn't even finish one.

"Let's go, President!"

After saying goodbye to Murong Liyue, Bai Yu turned and left.

Murong Liyue said nothing, but simply ate her food in small bites.

She did want to finish eating quickly and catch up with Bai Yu, since she had some personal matters to discuss with Bai Yu. So she sped up her eating, but she couldn't bring herself to ask Murong Liyue to wait for her.

It wasn't for any other reason than that anyone would feel uncomfortable having someone standing by and watching them while they were eating, let alone Miss Murong Liyue.

As soon as Bai Yu stepped out of the cafeteria, she couldn't help but turn back to look at Murong Liyue, who was sitting alone with her back to her, eating her meal.

If this girl didn't have some inexplicable quirks and strange ideas, Bai Yu thought that maybe, possibly, probably, perhaps, he could often get free meals from her.

"Hey~"

With a sigh, Bai Yu headed towards the classroom where roll call was being taken.

As for Li Cheng, who had just sent a message, when Feng Zhou and Wen Chiqi questioned why he hadn't come out for a meal, Bai Yu could only lie and say that he had something to do and just ate something at school, and wouldn't be coming out.

It's already 6 PM. I'll go to the classroom, sit for a bit, and then it'll be time for roll call. After that, I'll have to go out to go online!

However, Bai Yu felt a little uncomfortable walking to the classroom alone.

Why do I say that? Because whenever he passes by scenic spots like the school lawn or lakeside, there are always couples there, except when the lights are off at night.

Of course, there are also people who take their pets out for a walk in the evening.

Beicheng University allows pets, provided that the campus is kept clean. However, you cannot keep any strange pets, such as crocodiles, alligator snapping turtles, or snakes.

The school is also open to the public in the afternoon, and many middle-aged women or young wives bring their children to stroll on the lawn.

Even so, there will never be more couples than here.

Under the big tree were couples everywhere, but Bai Yu was the only single guy passing by. The looks the couples gave him seemed to be looking down on him.

Although Bai Yu was a scumbag in his previous life, he was indeed someone who had dated before, but he still didn't like the way couples looked at him. Even a casual glance from them didn't mean anything, and he still felt uncomfortable being single.

After walking across the lawn for a while, we arrived at the classroom where roll call was taken.

Because Bai Yu was the first to arrive in the classroom—or rather, arrived too early—there was practically no one else there.

I still habitually sit in the last row by the window, looking out at the unobstructed view of the scenery. However, the hot summer weather makes it difficult to calm down and feel cool.

Just as Bai Yu was staring blankly out the window, a petite figure with a silver ponytail appeared in his field of vision.

She wore black trousers and a black T-shirt, and with her silver hair, her outfit was even more eye-catching.

She was holding a steamed bun and eating it in small bites. Judging from the occasional furrowed brows, the bun was probably a little hot.

However, Bai Yu felt that Su Rongxue seemed to have a special fondness for steamed buns. Were steamed buns really that delicious?
