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

"My brother showed me your photos, and you look even more handsome in person!"

Hearing Qing Sisi's words, Bai Yu knew that this was not a good start and that she had to end this conversation, which was likely to escalate further.

"No, let's split the bill today, I don't have any money!"

If you reveal that you're a poor, stingy, and utterly useless person, then probably no girl will like you.

However, Bai Yu miscalculated; Qing Sisi's answer exceeded his expectations.

"It's alright, senior, you can have whatever you want to eat. Can I treat you?"

At this moment, Qing Sisi gives off the impression of a well-behaved girl, but Bai Yu knows that this girl is not as honest and obedient as she seems at all; it's all an act.

"Okay, then you can treat me. I'll just consider it saving on food expenses!"

Bai Yu can be said to have taken stinginess to the extreme, and anyone who hears these words will definitely feel uncomfortable, including Qing Sisi.

"Oh... then I'll treat you, senior!"

She said it was true, and while inviting someone to dinner was nothing, Qing Sisi was actually a little disappointed in Bai Yu; at least he wasn't as good as her brother had described. (Regarding extra chapters and updates...)

Many readers have asked about the rules for extra chapters. Since we are currently stockpiling chapters, we haven't decided yet. We can add one chapter for every 100 monthly votes, one chapter for every 10,000 Fire Scrolls, and fifteen chapters for the Emperor of Flame, although that's unlikely.

The bonus chapters will be available after the book goes on sale in a week. They can be accumulated, and there will be bonus chapters starting after the book goes on sale. There is no limit to how many chapters a day I would like to try.

Let's talk about the daily updates. It's one or two updates a day. After it's released, the basic updates will be two updates a day, so don't worry. The more monthly votes you get, the more updates you'll get. That should clear up any doubts you may have.

Thank you!

In Chapter 79, which link went wrong?

Although Bai Yu was unaware of the dislike Qing Sisi might feel, she could sense the change in her gaze, which was a good start.

"Let's order some food then. I need to go to evening self-study after dinner. I don't know why your brother called me here!"

Bai Yu now pretends that Qing Siling hasn't revealed her purpose. This is just an act, so that Qing Siling, already feeling some annoyance towards him, won't bring up her purpose again.

However, there are some things that Bai Yu thinks about without any problems for normal people; he is indeed very meticulous.

But the fact that Qing Sisi could take a knife and cut him means that it cannot be judged by the psychology of an ordinary person.

"Senior, didn't my brother tell you that... that he's on his period?"

"Which one?"

When Bai Yu heard Qing Sisi's question, he realized something was wrong, but he still pretended not to know what Qing Sisi wanted to say, and looked at the girl with a slight frown.

Seeing that Bai Yuzhen had no idea what she was there for, Qing Sisi couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, it seems my brother is really unreliable. But since you're more to my liking, I'll tell you. Actually, my brother just wanted you to talk to me about relationships, but unfortunately, I don't really like you anymore!"

"Holy crap!" Bai Yu almost couldn't contain her elation when she heard this, thankfully she didn't jump up and cheer.

Maintaining a calm demeanor and feigned indifference, Bai Yu replied casually.

"I see, so that's how it is. It seems I've disturbed you. Shall I leave?"

Bai Yu maintained a cold and aloof demeanor on the surface, but inside she was overjoyed.

However, he had just stood up when Qing Sisi stopped him.

"Hey senior, aren't you going to give it a try? What if there's still a chance?"

Hearing Qing Sisi's words, Bai Yu couldn't help but sneer inwardly. What are you trying to do? Try to get killed?

"No need. If I don't like it, I just don't like it. There's no need to play the clown anymore. Let's just leave it at that!"

After saying that, Bai Yu turned and walked towards the stairwell, but the next second Qing Sisi grabbed her arm from behind and said in a slightly forceful tone.

"Senior, once you're here, it won't be so easy for you to leave. You're so aloof, but I think I'm starting to get interested in you."

I'm not interested in you.

Bai Yu decisively rejected Qing Sisi's interest.

However, his refusal did not disappoint Qing Sisi; instead, she continued to smile and say...

"You really don't like me at all? Not even a little bit?"

No, not at all!

Bai Yu's answer was unequivocally firm.

However, Qing Sisi did not show any anger or displeasure that an ordinary girl would show. Instead, she appeared just as happy as Bai Yu.

Bai Yu didn't really care about this, after all, in his previous life, Qing Sisi had been pursuing him all along but had always been rejected, and that girl was always smiling.

The reason why Bai Yu initially refused Qing Sisi was because the girl was too active and he was afraid that she would ruin his fishpond. Otherwise, with Qing Sisi's looks, wouldn't Bai Yu have agreed immediately?

Of course, that was in the previous life; in this life, Bai Yu is genuinely refusing.

"Wow, senior, you're different from most of the guys I've met. Don't you think I'm pretty?"

"so so."

Bai Yu had no time for idle chatter or the mood to talk to Qing Sisi; she just wanted to run away right now.

Moreover, judging from Qing Sisi's posture, it gives one a sense of foreboding.

Bai Yu's premonition was very accurate after her rebirth; if she didn't leave soon, something she didn't want to see would definitely happen.

Bai Yu wanted to leave, but Qing Sisi grabbed his arm and wouldn't let go. Without further hesitation, Bai Yu shook Qing Sisi off.

It really gives off that feeling of Chen Shimei abandoning his wife who had shared his hardships.

Qing Sisi fell to the ground like a delicate girl next door.

Seeing this, Bai Yu paused slightly, wondering if she had shaken Qing Sisi too hard. After much hesitation, she bent down to pull her back.

But this pull had an unexpected effect; Bai Yu actually saw tears and a look of excitement in Qing Sisi's eyes.

Tears in the eyes are understandable, maybe she hurt herself from the fall, but what's with that excited look in her eyes?

"Senior, are you trying to bully her?"

"what?"

Damn, even Bai Yu was a little confused. When did Qing Sisi become so delicate?

Bai Yu frowned slightly as she looked at Qing Sisi, who was squatting on the ground.

I hadn't paid much attention to Qing Sisi before, but now that I look at her, I see that she's wearing a dark blue short skirt, her beautiful legs are fair and alluring, and a white short-sleeved shirt with her own English name on her chest. It's a bit smaller than Si Yu's, but you can barely grab it with one hand.

Ahem, that's not the point. The point is that Bai Yu thinks Qing Sisi's current situation is very abnormal.

Judging from my current behavior, a normal girl shouldn't like me, and even a young girl definitely wouldn't like me.

But why does this girl suddenly seem less disgusted with her appearance?

Completely baffled, Bai Yu could only think that a woman who could kill the person she loved with a knife must be someone who couldn't be judged by normal thinking.

Just as Bai Yu was pondering whether something had gone wrong, Qing Sisi reached out and pulled her back.

Bai Yu, who was not on guard to begin with, was pulled by Qing Sisi and pounced on her.

However, a person's first reaction upon landing is to reach out and brace themselves.

Bai Yu was no exception, and just in time, she managed to push Qing Sisi down beneath her.

When their eyes met, Bai Yu was surprised to see Qing Sisi smiling, which was extremely, extremely, extremely wrong!

"Senior, do you...do you really want to bully me?"

That's outrageous! That's outrageous!

Bai Yu really didn't know where he went wrong. After thinking it over and over, he realized that this girl had said she didn't like him before, so why did she suddenly seem to be giving him away for free?

Everything happens for a reason; it couldn't have happened without cause.

Indeed, there is a saying that "there is no reason to like something."

But even if there's no reason, there's still a clue. Is it because I'm too handsome?

However, Qing Sisi had previously felt displeased because of her low emotional intelligence, and given her looks, she must have seen quite a few handsome men, so this point can actually be ruled out.

If we exclude appearance, then is it one's personality?

However, Bai Yu's personality is completely different from that of his previous life, so it's unlikely. As for why Qing Sisi liked him in his previous life, Bai Yu always thought it was because of his good looks and personal charm, and never bothered to find out the real reason.

If we rule out those possibilities, there's only one left: there's a problem with my own behavior!

Chapter 80: Why is everything so strange? (Second update, please vote)

In terms of behavior and attitude, Bai Yu was just a bit aloof and distant, but what's wrong with that?

Bai Yu is a normal person, and her thinking can only be done using the thinking of a normal person.

Therefore, from Bai Yu's perspective, that's absolutely incomprehensible.

Seeing Qing Sisi like this, Bai Yu had no choice but to resort to a slightly despicable method: threats!

No one in the world would like someone who threatens them, right?

"Qing Sisi, I know some of your unspeakable secrets!"

Bai Yu did know some unspeakable secrets, such as the mole on Qing Sisi's left breast.

However, such a secret would definitely be considered a hooligan's act, and it's not exactly a secret that can be told to others.

The reason Bai Yu only mentioned the unspeakable secret without revealing what it was was to project an image of someone with questionable character, so...

"Senior, how did you know?"

Qing Sisi's originally delicate face instantly turned wary.

Seeing Qing Sisi's appearance, Bai Yu knew that her casual threat had worked.

"Very good, very energetic." Bai Yu turned around and stood up from the body that was pressing down on Qing Sisi. She looked down at Qing Sisi with an air of threatening a respectable woman.
