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

"Why..."

With wide eyes, Bai Yu wanted to ask why you came back to kill her after you were engaged, and why you didn't come looking for her before you regained your memories.

Before he could finish speaking, Su Rongxue drew her sword and stabbed it towards his throat.

Murong Liyue regained her memories, and Su Rongxue naturally regained hers as well, though both had only recently recovered.

As for the engagement, that was all a lie Murong Liyue told Bai Yu. The deaths of Si Yu and Qing Sisi were real, though, because they had no contact with Bai Yu before regaining their memories, and fate had destined them to walk this path.

Su Rongxue was different. Her family would never deliberately choose someone she didn't like to marry. She wasn't the type of girl who liked to take the initiative to contact men. So, let alone getting engaged, she had so many suitors during the time she didn't remember, yet not a single one of them had ever touched her.

As for why Su Rongxue still harbors such resentment towards Bai Yu, it's not just due to the influence of Bai Yu's past life, but also because Bai Yu chose to skip school instead of enrolling when the semester started, which means that Bai Yu had memories from that time.

But after regaining her memories, Bai Yu didn't choose to love her; instead, he avoided her and distanced himself from her. This made it even harder for Su Rongxue, who had regained her memories, to accept.

In her past life, Bai Yu had repeatedly let her down. Now, Bai Yu not only doesn't think about making amends, but instead wants to run away. How could such a good thing happen?

She also overheard her mother saying that her best friend Murong Meng's daughter brought a boy back to Beicheng.

Su Rongxue knew very well who Murong Liyue was. In her past life, it was she who told everyone that Bai Yu was a scumbag and caught him in the act, which led to the scene where Bai Yu was stabbed to death by her.

But now that Murong Liyue has brought Bai Yu back, it means that Bai Yu has agreed to some of Murong Liyue's requests.

No matter what the request was, Su Rongxue could not accept sharing the person she deeply loved with someone else, let alone with Murong Liyue, the winner from her previous life.

Therefore, after receiving news that Bai Yu had returned to Beicheng, Su Rongxue was ready to kill him and did not consider whether Bai Yu could choose her.

That makes sense. The hatred from her past life hadn't faded away, and now Bai Yu was still betraying Su Rongxue's love. How could she possibly let Bai Yu and Murong Liyue be together peacefully like this?

Lying in a pool of blood, with blood bubbling from his mouth, he couldn't speak at all. He reached out to cover his bleeding throat, but he didn't have the strength to lift his hand.

The photo album he was holding fell into the pool of blood that had flowed out of his hand. The album happened to be flipped to the picture of the blonde little girl. She was standing in a cherry blossom forest with cherry blossoms covering the ground. Her pair of blue eyes were so beautiful, but her frail body was covered by the white rain of blood.

"Mom said that death does not mean the end, and you will still be with me."

"As for Murong Liyue, she's the one who ruined you, it's her..."

This is what Bai Yu heard before she lost all consciousness.

He never imagined that even after hiding for two years, he still couldn't escape Su Rongxue's nightmarish woodcutter's axe.

Side Story – If Rebirth meant Escape 4

Seeing Bai Yu's pupils gradually widening, Su Rongxue still did not stop wielding the knife in her hand.

He continued stabbing Bai Yu's chest with one blow after another until he had stabbed her a total of thirty-six times before he stopped.

Or rather, Su Rongxue used up her strength in thirty-six strikes before she was completely exhausted.

Sitting on Bai Yu's body lying in a pool of blood, seeing that he had completely lost his vital signs, Su Rongxue revealed a relieved smile.

The relieved smile quickly turned into pain and regret.

She reached out and gently stroked Bai Yu's blood-covered cheek; her small hand had personally seen off her beloved.

Love at its deepest point turns into hate; love at its end leads to loss.

These two points are vividly reflected in Su Rongxue: the deeper the love, the greater the hate; and in the end, she still had to lose the one she loved most.

He stood up and closed the door behind him, then lay down on Bai Yu's still-warm body, feeling the warmth that belonged only to her at this moment.

Warm blood, warm business, and the warmth you feel when you hold hands is a warmth you don't usually experience.

My mother is right. Loving someone doesn't necessarily mean loving them while they're alive, because a living lover may stop loving you at any time, but a deceased lover will remain in the time they loved you, forever unchanged.

"Bai Yu, your hands are so warm~"

"My body feels so warm~"

"The blood feels so warm~"

"Your heart is still beating, how amazing~"

The soft, sweet voice, however, did not evoke cuteness at this moment; instead, it was strangely eerie and terrifying.

Even though she had become a corpse, her cuteness had not diminished at all, and Su Rongxue felt no fear whatsoever.

On the contrary, the smile on her face as she lay on Bai Yu showed that she was enjoying this time alone.

"No one will ever separate us again, right?"

"You love me too, don't you?"

"Their love for you is all fake; only my love for you is real, right?"

"You promised you'd always love me, and you kept your promise, didn't you?"

.......

Su Rongxue kept asking Bai Yu questions that Bai Yu could no longer answer, seemingly enjoying herself immensely.

Perhaps her love was beautiful and desirable from the beginning, but everything Bai Yu did buried that love in the soil.

Because of him, Su Rongxue's heart stirred and love began to sprout; it was also because of him that Su Rongxue's love was about to wither.

The person who plants the seeds may not reap a bountiful harvest, because after planting, they may no longer care about it.

If most seeds are left unattended, they will die in the bud.

But the seed planted by Bai Yu in Su Rongxue was sprouting and growing strong. Just when she thought she deserved praise, she suddenly realized that she was the one who had been abandoned long ago.

That kind of despair and helplessness is something that cannot be truly felt, and no one can truly understand it.

When Su Rongxue suddenly awakens her memories at night, she cannot find solace for her soul, because that very solace had chosen to abandon her from the very beginning.

Gently stroking Bai Yu's cheek, Su Rongxue quietly stayed with Bai Yu until she fell asleep. It was as if even lying together in a pool of blood would make her sleep peacefully.

Sweet dreams are fleeting. A knock on the door sounded, and Su Rongxue slowly opened her eyes.

Propelling herself up, Su Rongxue looked at the blood beneath her, which had already congealed to the point that it stuck her clothes to Bai Yu's body. Instead of feeling disgusted, she smiled.

Reaching out, I gently stroked Bai Yu, whose face had already turned cold and lifeless. Her pale, paper-white cheeks, coupled with her wide-open, deathly eyes, were even more chilling.

But all of this made the originally timid Su Rongxue feel no fear at all. Instead, it gave her a sense of security that Bai Yu was always watching her and had eyes full of her.

With a ripping sound, Su Rongxue tore off her clothes, which were stuck together with blood clots, stood up, and opened the peephole of the door behind her to look outside.

When she saw that the person standing outside was actually Murong Liyue, a look of doubt appeared on her face, which then turned into anger.

What puzzled her was why Murong Liyue had returned to Bai Yu's house at this time. What angered her was that if it weren't for this woman, she and Bai Yu wouldn't have ended up in this situation where they had no choice but to stay together.

She hated Bai Yu, and even more so Murong Liyue. If this woman had disappeared from the beginning, then with Si Yu and Qing Sisi having already chosen to end their own lives, she and Bai Yu would have been destined to have a happy ending together.

Kata!

The door was gently opened by Su Rongxue's hand, which was stained with white rain and blood.

Murong Liyue said softly after the door was opened.

"Bai Yu, you'll be staying with me here for a while now, at home..."

Before she could finish speaking, Murong Liyue saw Su Rongxue covered in blood, even her long silver hair was stained with blood.

Looking further into the room, the person lying in a pool of blood could only be Bai Yu.

With wide eyes, Murong Liyue knew that Su Rongxue would come to find Bai Yu just like her, so she wanted to leave with Bai Yu in advance, but she did not expect Su Rongxue to arrive so much faster than her.

"Bai Yu?"

Looking at Bai Yu's corpse inside the room with disbelief, Murong Liyue felt as if her heart had been struck by a sledgehammer, and she had difficulty breathing.

She wasn't afraid of the bloody scene, but rather unwilling to believe Bai Yu's death.

Su Rongxue didn't care how Murong Liyue felt; her hatred for her was so intense that she wished she could tear her to pieces.

Raising the knife in his hand, the sharp blade, stained with white rain and blood, easily pierced through Murong Liyue's abdomen.

However, Murong Liyue did not resist at all. Instead, she kept staring at Bai Yu's corpse in the room, her eyes gradually becoming empty.

"Bai Yu is dead? Why?"

"He will be with me forever. You don't need to know so much. If it weren't for you, Bai Yu wouldn't be like this. It's all your fault!"

He stabbed Murong Liyue's body again and again until she showed no further reaction.

The police arrived quickly and took away Su Rongxue, Murong Liyue, and Bai Yu to locate the body.

The three families all had different emotions. Bai Yu's parents were heartbroken in court, Su Rongxue's mother was very calm holding the urn in court, and Murong Liyue's mother did not show any extra expression, only indifference.

The final diagnosis was that Su Rongxue suffered from mental illness, and she was confined to a mental hospital.

This judgment is naturally related to Su Rongxue's mother. Although Murong Liyue's mother also has strong methods, she would not spend too much energy on a dead person.

Instead of wasting that energy, it would be more practical for you and your husband to quickly have another daughter and raise her.

In the most secluded cell of the largest mental hospital in the northern part of the city—

Su Rongxue sat on the bed, looking at the exquisite urn that her mother, Luo Er Ai Li, handed her, a look of astonishment on her face.

Holding the urn with my head down, feeling its cold, lifeless surface, I felt a sense of happiness, yet also a sense of something being missing.

Upon opening the urn, one finds a bottle of white liquid medicine and an empty glass inside.

Su Rongxue and her mother looked at each other, but neither of them said anything.

The next morning, Su Rongxue held the urn and never got up again. There was only an empty medicine bottle and a half-finished gray liquid by her bedside.

Side Story – If Rebirth meant Escape 5

"Fujiwara Rin Sakura, did you take my things? Tell me now."

A girl in a white dress, holding a handbag, pointed at Fujiwara Rin Sakura in the corner and shouted at her, ignoring the fact that the other students were watching her.

Fujiwara Rin Sakura was stunned by the question posed by the girl in front of her, her blue eyes filled with fear and unease.

She took out her notebook from her desk and was about to write when, before she could even begin to express her grievances, a hand suddenly reached out and snatched her textbook away.

"What are you thinking of writing now? Don't think we don't know you took it. Is it fun to play dumb and gain sympathy? Silence means you admit it."

A short, chubby girl with short hair shamelessly mocked and belittled Lin Ying, but Lin Ying seemed to be used to it all. She reached into her pocket, took out her wallet, gave the two girls two 10,000 yen notes, and then stood up, bowed, and apologized.

It wasn't her fault at all, yet she knew it was all her fault. If she could speak, if she had friends, if she had the ability to fight back, then she wouldn't have to pay the price for other people's mistakes.

After Lin Ying picked up her notebook that had been tossed aside and walked out of the classroom, the two girls laughed loudly.

"Junzi, every time we mess with her like this, she just gives us the money and leaves. Nobody helps her at all, right?"
