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

"Junior Brother Bai Yu, why haven't you accepted my WeChat request yet? Have you forgotten?"

As expected of Si Yu, her emotional intelligence is so high; she even came up with a reason for Bai Yu.

Bai Yu's reason was precisely that he had forgotten, which was also the best excuse. When he heard Si Yu bring up this topic, he immediately widened his eyes as if he remembered something, took out his phone, and opened WeChat to take a look.

"I did forget, I'm sorry."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Yu clicked to accept the friend request, and her demeanor showed no sign that she had deliberately not added Si Yu.

Moreover, in front of Si Yu, Bai Yu indeed acted like a cold and aloof straight man who didn't care much about these details, making his flaws even smaller.

"I'm so sad, I completely forgot about my senior, that's so mean~"

Si Yu's voice is really nice, a unique mature and sophisticated tone, and her feigned dissatisfaction is even a little cute.

But Bai Yu didn't say anything to comfort or apologize like most boys would. Instead, he sparingly said six words.

"I don't have a very good memory."

It's so special. Si Yu really thinks Bai Yu is so special. It's extremely rare to find a guy who can be so indifferent to her, or to put it bluntly, completely unresponsive.

Anyway, Siyu has always been surrounded by boys since she was a child, destined to be the center of attention.

Many guys' aloofness and indifference are just an act, but Si Yu could sense that Bai Yu's was genuine and not an act!

This stark difference in treatment actually piqued Si Yu's interest in Bai Yu.

If Bai Yu knew that his actions were actually piquing Si Yu's interest, he would have changed immediately without hesitation!

In his previous life, Bai Yu was incredibly gentle when pursuing Si Yu, and he even wrote down all of Si Yu's likes and dislikes. Of course, Bai Yu's good looks and fashion sense were also a big plus.

But he never imagined that his aloof, unapproachable, and straight-man-like demeanor would actually make Si Yu feel more favorably toward him.

Women are truly strange creatures. Chapter Six: Jokes, Don't Take Them Seriously (Second Update)

Li Cheng and his two companions quickly struck up a conversation with the two girls, acting as if they had known each other before.

Since there are seven people on both sides of Bai Yu and Si Yu, they need to choose a larger seat.

But Si Yu directly chose an air-conditioned private room, the most comfortable room for eating barbecue.

In his previous life, Bai Yu knew that Si Yu was actually very rich and a rich girl. Otherwise, why would he often trick Si Yu out of money to spend?

Of course, Bai Yu changed after being hit by the woodcutter's knife. In his previous life, he thought that a scumbag was carefree, able to love whoever he wanted and do whatever he wanted.

But now I've discovered that being a scumbag isn't as easy as I imagined. Only by experiencing the taste of death can one truly understand the meaning of life.

To put it more bluntly, Bai Yu's four girlfriends in his previous life were all from wealthy families. He didn't know how wealthy they were because none of them told him. Bai Yu was a scumbag, and it's best not to ask girls what they don't want to talk about, so as not to increase their dislike. That's a taboo.

Anyway, Bai Yu knew for sure that none of them were poorer than her.

"Junior, shall we order separately or get a set meal?"

Bai Yu sat to the side, intending to sit with Li Cheng and the other two, but Si Yu seemed to know what Bai Yu was thinking and just followed him. As soon as he sat down, Si Yu immediately sat down next to him.

This was something Bai Yu never expected. Logically speaking, his aloof and straight-man behavior shouldn't be popular with girls, right?

Of course, it's too early to say she likes him. Si Yu is just a little interested in Bai Yu's aloof and straight-laced appearance. You could say she's acting like an older sister towards her younger brother.

Since Si Yu is one year older than Bai Yu, she is naturally one year older than Bai Yu. This year, Bai Yu is eighteen and Si Yu is nineteen, which is no secret.

"Let's order a set meal for seven people, it'll be more cost-effective!"

Bai Yu gave a simple reply to Si Yu's question.

Feng Zhou, Wen Chiqi, and Li Cheng felt a pang of jealousy and envy as they watched Si Yu insist on sitting next to Bai Yu.

Seeing that Bai Yu was completely clueless about conversation, they became anxious for her.

Little did they know that, if it weren't for his intentions, Bai Yu in his previous life would have been incredibly good at chatting; he could make girls giggle and cover their mouths in no time, instantly increasing their affection for him.

Bai Yu doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes, which is why he deliberately acts so aloof and straight-man!

"Hey, Bai Yu, is it just the four of you in your dorm? I heard that boys' dorms are all six people."

Holding chopsticks, Si Yu picked up two pieces of meat while grilling and asked Bai Yu a question.

Bai Yu's answer to Si Yu's question remained as concise and clear as ever.

"The dormitory is special; there are only four people in it."

"Oh~ So... what do you usually like to do?"

"I enjoy doing what I love!"

......

The conversation between Si Yu and Bai Yu can only be described in two words: "awkward chat".

Si Yu was constantly looking for topics to talk about, and Bai Yu would end each one for her, being very cooperative.

To be honest, Bai Yu's effects were starting to kick in, because Si Yu was finding it hard to continue the conversation.

"Hey, junior Bai Yu, your senior grilled a piece of meat for you. As payment, can you answer one question for me?"

Si Yu began to use her trump card, which always worked: "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding."

But Bai Yu's answer was something Si Yu never expected.

"I can bake it myself; self-reliance is the key to a good life!"

Well, as expected of a straight man, Bai Yu's performance was thorough and uncompromising.

To be honest, no guy can resist Si Yu's gentle demeanor; they might just end up being led around by the nose by her.

But who is Bai Yu? He is a man who has experienced Si Yu's firewood. As long as he doesn't get involved with Si Yu and doesn't let Si Yu turn evil, everything in the future will be bright.

"Junior, you'll never find a girlfriend if you keep going like this. You can't chat, you can't talk properly, and you shut down any conversation a girl brings up. Even if you're kind of handsome, it won't work!"

Si Yu had no idea that Bai Yu was faking it, and at this moment she began to earnestly point out Bai Yu's shortcomings.

As for Bai Yu, who was being talked about, he didn't care about any of that. He just pretended to listen without paying attention. After all, food is essential for life, and besides, it's reasonable to say that someone who isn't enthusiastic about eating has something wrong with their head.

"Hey~, what are you doing, all you're doing is eating? Did you even listen to what I said, senior?"

Si Yu knew that she and Bai Yu were not very close, so her tone of voice did not carry much blame.

"I heard you, but how do you know I don't have a girlfriend?"

Bai Yu's casual reply made Si Yu's expression falter slightly, and the next moment she awkwardly uttered an "Eh."

"Eh? Junior...you have a girlfriend?"

Seeing Si Yu's surprised expression, which even made her feel a little embarrassed about their previous conversation, Bai Yu took out a tissue to wipe her mouth and replied.

"no!"

"grass!"

Li Cheng and the other two were all shocked by Bai Yu. They only breathed a sigh of relief when he wiped his mouth and said "nothing else," and at the same time, they all said a common saying in unison.

"You... junior, you're so mean! You scared me!"

Si Yu gently patted her proud chest, her expression changing from embarrassment to sullen frustration.

"for..."

Just as Bai Yu was about to say why he startled you, he stopped himself, because it was an unintentionally flirtatious remark, and he couldn't repeat his old mistake.

Seeing Bai Yu hesitate to speak, Si Yu reached out and gently patted Bai Yu's shoulder, indicating that she had been startled by Bai Yu's sudden outburst.

"I've never seen a guy like you who's so easily startled, and so clueless about how to comfort my fragile heart!"

Bai Yu was speechless at Si Yu's words. When did Si Yu become so familiar? They had only known each other for a day as junior and senior students. Was it really okay to flirt like this?

If it were an ordinary guy, he would definitely have thoughts like whether Si Yu liked him.

But the experienced Bai Yu knew very well that Si Yu was just joking. Never take a girl's joke seriously, or you'll run into a lot of trouble.

Moreover, Si Yu is very beautiful and sexy, so such jokes will be amplified infinitely. Perhaps Si Yu herself is unaware of this, and of course, the boys certainly wouldn't tell her that on their own initiative.

However, Bai Yu had to tell her about this issue today.

"Senior, what you're saying could easily be misinterpreted as you liking me. Subtle flirting is deadly, especially for a girl like you!"

These words were so blunt that the entire scene fell silent for a moment. Chapter Seven: The Scorching Summer

quiet!

The silence in the room seemed so abrupt and eerie, because Bai Yu's words not only stunned Si Yu, but also the other two girls and the three boys, including Li Cheng.

That's way too blunt. It's fine to say these things in private, but is it really okay to say them in front of another girl?

To put it bluntly, in Li Cheng's and the other two's eyes, Bai Yu's behavior was a sign of a lack of emotional intelligence.

But that's exactly the effect Bai Yu wanted. She wanted Si Yu to think that this guy had low emotional intelligence and that it was best not to have any more contact with him.

But Si Yu's performance was beyond Bai Yu's expectations.

Because Si Yu genuinely didn't know what kind of misunderstanding her joke would cause the boy, and she didn't say it intentionally; she wouldn't do it most of the time.

Looking up at Bai Yu, who was the only one in the room still eating barbecue by herself with her chopsticks, Si Yu's face suddenly felt hot. She wasn't sure if it was from shyness or embarrassment.

At this moment, she looked at Bai Yu with a somewhat cautious gaze.

This time, Si Yu discovered that Bai Yu was not just a cold and aloof straight man, but also somewhat domineering and ruthless.

Logically speaking, everyone cares about their image, and being bluntly pointed out by Bai Yu would definitely make any normal person feel somewhat displeased.

But Si Yu was different from normal girls; she found Bai Yu's domineering and ruthless nature to be a rare trait.

If someone can be so unyielding in front of girls, wouldn't it be incredibly reassuring to become their girlfriend?

This thought process is absolutely novel; most people wouldn't dare to think like this!

But it's very dangerous. Si Yu's idea is too dangerous. If she continues to think like this, she might end up conquering herself.

But sitting right in front of the barbecue machine, no one noticed that Si Yu's cheeks were burning, because they looked more like they were red from being roasted.

"Junior, I...I was really just joking. Please don't be angry. I apologize for what I said earlier. It's really not good to cause a misunderstanding!"

Bai Yu, who was about to put a piece of meat in her mouth, placed it directly into Si Yu's bowl and said with a slight smile.

"It's alright, just be careful with your words next time."
