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

Seeing this, Murong Liyue remained calm and composed, her voice even colder.

"Two years can change a lot of things. Su Rongxue, I remember she was a little girl, but she got engaged to someone half a year ago. You didn't know that, did you?"

Turning around, Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat the moment she heard that Su Rongxue was engaged to someone else.

"Who...who was she engaged to? How is she doing now?"

Although Bai Yu had always believed that his feelings for the girls were insignificant, he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard the news of Su Rongxue's engagement. This statement directly exposed his problem of having memories.

But Murong Liyue didn't answer his question at all. Instead, she told him something that made him even more desperate.

"Qing Sisi committed suicide by taking sleeping pills the night before the start of her second semester of freshman year, and her family fell apart as a result. If you hadn't chosen to run away, perhaps she wouldn't have died, right?"

Murong Liyue's words were quite shocking, and even carried a strong sense of moral blackmail.

Even knowing this, Bai Yu still couldn't bear the overwhelming pain in her heart.

"This is just Qing Sisi. Her fate has been prematurely ended because of your choice, right, Bai Yu?"

Bai Yu took a deep breath, trying to appear indifferent, but her trembling voice couldn't hide it at all.

Why...why did she commit suicide? What was the reason?

"I know you must be wondering, but I don't know. However, when we went to the funeral, the two elderly people from the Qing family didn't seem sad at all. On the contrary, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were welcoming guests with joy."

Murong Liyue remained very calm, and one could even detect a hint of joy in her voice.

This feeling was as if Qing Sisi's death brought her pleasure.

"Then...what about Si Yu?"

"I had forgotten about Si Yu... This woman disappeared a long time ago. She stopped coming to school a long time ago. I don't know why. Maybe she's dead."

She tapped the table with her index finger. Murong Liyue's feelings were exactly the opposite of Bai Yu's. The more uncomfortable Bai Yu was, the more aroused she became.

It wasn't just that she wanted to get revenge on Bai Yu, but also the fact that several of her rivals had to leave Bai Yu gave her an uncontrollable joy.

However, all these changes were somewhat unacceptable to Bai Yu.

Everyone could choose a better ending than being with him, just like Su Rongxue did, rather than death.

But he was an irresponsible person; he didn't even know why Qing Sisi and Si Yu left.

Of course, in the two years since he was reborn after being stabbed, he had already figured out what kind of yandere a few women might be.

As for yandere, some are born that way and some develop it later in life, and Bai Yu doesn't know which type the girls belong to.

“They won’t come looking for you anymore, so… come back with me. You know I love you, more than you can imagine.”

Looking up at Murong Liyue's crimson eyes, which revealed arousal, Bai Yu could sense that this girl was no less perverted than the other girls, and might even be more perverted than Su Rongxue, who stabbed him to death.

However, there is one advantage to being a yandere: as long as you love her well, you can always believe in her love for you.

However, no matter how much Bai Yu thought about it, she was not very willing to leave with Murong Liyue. Putting aside how this girl would treat her in the future, her family background was not good enough for her, and her family would definitely not agree to the marriage.

“We are not a good match, so there is no need for you to choose me. You can also choose a future that is happier than being with me, just like Su Rongxue did.”

Upon hearing this, Murong Liyue opened her bag and tossed two red wedding photos in front of Bai Yu, saying calmly.

"If we're not a good match, we'll move to a different house; if we're not a good match, we'll move to a different place. You have to get married whether you want to or not."

Goodness, Bai Yu never expected this girl to suddenly throw a marriage certificate at her.

"What if I choose not to?"

"You can't get out of this place, do you believe that?"

Bai Yu knew that once Murong Liyue had her eye on her, she had no choice at all. Perhaps it was better to go along with her than to go against her.

In addition, after two years of working in society, the hardships of society have made him lose the youthful vigor he once had, and money may give him a greater sense of security.

Side Story – If Rebirth meant Escape 3

To be honest, Bai Yu couldn't easily accept the news that Murong Liyue brought.

However, there is another point: after receiving this news, Bai Yu had a plan to back down.

He knew that if he stubbornly confronted Murong Liyue, he would end up gaining absolutely nothing.

On the contrary, after Si Yu and Qing Sisi left, and Su Rongxue was already engaged, choosing to be with Murong Liyue was actually a better choice.

Just as Bai Yu was feeling a strange, indescribable feeling, her phone rang.

Seeing the incoming call on his phone, Bai Yu recognized it as one of his clients from all the time he'd been working there, and a very important one at that. Just as he was about to habitually wave his phone to Murong Liyue to indicate that he was taking the call, Murong Liyue reached out and snatched the phone away, answering it coldly with a few words.

"Bai Yu has resigned. If you need anything in the future, please contact someone else."

As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Liyue smashed Bai Yu's phone with a loud bang.

Seeing his phone smashed by Murong Liyue, Bai Yu's anger flared up instantly.

"Murong Liyue, aren't you going a bit too far? We have absolutely no relationship now. It's one thing to snatch my phone, answer it, and drive away my client, but what's the meaning of smashing it now?"

"I..."

Just as Murong Liyue was about to say that she could compensate her for these losses, Bai Yu spoke first.

"Don't try to pull your rich man's tricks on me. Not everything can be solved with money. If it were possible, I could give you all the money I have, as long as you get out of my life. Would you agree?"

Bai Yu's words were loud and extremely hurtful, leaving even the usually strong-willed Murong Liyue stunned by his outburst.

However, after the girl calmed down, she didn't lash out at Bai Yu with the same rage. Instead, she asked a question softly.

If I asked you if you could be with me, would you say yes?

Murong Liyue spoke softly, as if gently asking Bai Yu for his opinion.

Upon hearing the girl's gentle tone, Bai Yu's heart softened slightly for a moment.

"I won't agree. Being together is a matter of mutual consent. Just because you're willing and what you want doesn't mean I am. The world is so big, you don't really need to come looking for me. Do you think you deserve to come looking for me after what I've done? What have you gained?"

Bai Yu has always been a scumbag who spouts platitudes, and even after reforming, his verbal skills are still second to none.

But Murong Liyue's answer was also unexpected by Bai Yu.

"No one can easily forgive you for what you did, including me. I hate you, I hate you so much I want to devour you, but I can't help loving you, loving you so much I want to have you. Life is not about whether it's worth it or not, as long as you think it's worth it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu understood Murong Liyue's meaning perfectly. She hated him now, but as long as he was with her, the hatred could be ignored, because she preferred to express love rather than hatred.

"So... will your family agree to us?"

Shaking her head, Murong Liyue gave a straightforward answer.

"will not."

But then she added.

“But as long as we’re together, we’ll have completed all the formalities and done everything we need to do. We might even be able to have a child. Nothing will be a problem then, and no one can stop us.”

Bai Yu could see Murong Liyue's determination to be with him, but determination alone was not enough; things opposed by the whole world would not end well.

But these are all theoretical. Murong Liyue believes in love. He had been wandering outside for two years, and those two years of being alone and helpless made him yearn for someone who loved and cared for him.

Murong Liyue's appearance at this moment was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire in the emptiness in his heart.

Even though she was filled with the fear of death, this fear was mostly brought about by Su Rongxue. Murong Liyue gave Bai Yu more pressure than fear.

Little did he know that after his death, Murong Liyue personally dug out his heart and ate it alive.

These memories are known only to Murong Liyue, because the other women and Bai Yu are all lying in pools of blood.

"Liyue, we can take a chance on anything. If I... if we really get together, will we really be happy in the future?"

These are the kinds of things that girls usually care about more, because they're afraid that they won't find happiness with a guy in the end.

But now it came out of the white rain.

"We'll be happy. Let's go back together."

Nodding, Bai Yu finally agreed to Murong Liyue's request.

Because he knew that Si Yu and Qing Sisi had left, and Su Rongxue would no longer appear in his world, being with Murong Liyue might be the best choice.

Returning to Beicheng after two years, Bai Yu felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the changes.

Although it has only been two years since I last came back, the changes here are as if I haven't been home for ten years.

Bai Yu's return this time was not only to be with Murong Liyue, but also to visit her home, which she had not been able to return to for two years, and to find out how her parents, whom she had not contacted for two years, were doing now.

A person returns home alone, the key to the house is still the same one they left with, the house is empty and deserted.

Sitting on the sofa, looking at the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar decorations in my home after two years of changes, I realize that everything is different now.

I don't know if the path I chose is good or bad; I only know that I brought it all upon myself.

I opened the drawer under the coffee table and flipped through the photo albums my parents had kept, reminiscing about my past with them.

But he suddenly stopped when he came across a picture of a blonde girl.

The photo was taken by my parents when they visited the island nation. I just don't know why they would take a picture of a foreigner.

The blonde girl in the photo looks to be only twelve or thirteen years old. A hint of panic can be seen in her blue eyes, and the background of fallen cherry blossoms makes her look very beautiful.

Just as Bai Yu was flipping through the next photo, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Turning her head towards the door, Bai Yu stood up and asked a question.

"Who is it?"

No one responded, so Bai Yu frowned and stepped forward to open the door.

When he opened the door, he saw an extremely familiar figure.

"Su Rongxue?"

Why didn't you come looking for me?

Before Bai Yu could even react, the girl, who had been holding a long knife behind her back, suddenly thrust it at her.

Humans don't react very quickly, let alone when they see Su Rongxue, an old friend who was also the one who killed them in their past life. Before they can even express their emotions, the knife is already at their chest.

Summer clothes are already thin, and Bai Yu had absolutely no protection when the knife came down. He felt the chilling sensation again, and it was still so painful.
