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

The woman, who was called Junko by the short, chubby girl with short hair, nodded. She was also very aroused.

Several students in the classroom witnessed all of this, but none of them were willing to step forward to help. They weren't thinking about pitying Lin Ying; instead, they wanted to ask Lin Ying for some money, just like the two girls, because they also had things they wanted to buy.

Human hearts are always more vicious and disgusting than expected, and Fujiwara Rin Sakura has long been accustomed to this indifferent world.

In her azure eyes, the world she saw had no color, only an endless expanse of gray and indifference.

On her way home, Fujiwara Rin Sakura stopped at a convenience store and bought some vegetables and meat that she needed to cook that evening. Then she took out a notebook and wrote down how much she needed before going to the cashier to pay.

"Three thousand two hundred and thirty-one yuan."

After taking out the money from her wallet, Fujiwara Rin-sakura paid the bill and then quickly ran towards home.

She ran up the stairs and arrived at her own front door. Just as she took out her key to open the door, her gaze suddenly fell on the door of the apartment next door.

The room next door was empty, and no one had lived there for a very long time. She had once fantasized that one day someone would come across the street and become her neighbor, and then become her friend.

But these were all her fantasies. Over the long term, no one had ever become her friend. Even if someone had, they were only after her looks or money.

She has lost trust in the world, and she has lost trust in herself.

Kata~

The door was opened, but all that could be seen was darkness. When the light was turned on, all that could be seen was an empty room with simple decorations.

She entered the room, changed into slippers, went to the coffee table, picked up her old MP3 player, put on her headphones, and listened to her favorite music. This was the most relaxing moment of her day.

She took out the vegetables and meat she had bought, intending to cook a dish that she wasn't sure would taste good or bad to fill her stomach.

After dinner, I went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking off her clothes, Fujiwara Rin Sakura had several faint scars on her arms, marks left from her previous self-harm.

Only when she self-harms can she feel that she is still alive, that she is still a complete person, and not a walking corpse.

After taking a shower, I changed my clothes and lay down on the bed to sleep.

She lived each day without any excitement, simply existing for the sake of living, never thinking about her future, because she never felt she had a future.

I slowly closed my eyes, and another sleepless night began.

The next morning—

Fujiwara Rin Sakura got up early to prepare her breakfast and lunch.

After eating a breakfast that I wasn't sure was good or bad, I took a dessert out of the refrigerator to taste its sweetness before packing my lunch in a lunchbox and heading out.

She glanced at her dessert shop for breakfast, but since it wasn't the weekend, she wouldn't be opening it.

Passing through familiar streets and alleys, I arrived at school. Fujiwara Rin-sakura had arrived quite early, with some time still before class.

The quiet classroom was empty except for her, who sat in the corner reading a book called "Knight and Princess".

She knew she wasn't a princess in a fairy tale and wouldn't meet her own knight, but that didn't stop her from envying the princesses in fairy tales and looking forward to her own knight.

Around noon—

Fujiwara Rin Sakura took her lunchbox to the rooftop. She always ate lunch alone and enjoyed the midday view by herself.

But when she brought her lunchbox, the saliva and dirt inside made her pause in surprise.

She didn't know when her lunchbox had been touched, or who had added these things to it.

But all of this was so commonplace that Fujiwara Rin Sakura had become accustomed to it.

I gently put down my lunchbox; it looks like I won't be able to eat lunch today.

Just as she closed her lunchbox and prepared to quietly enjoy the afternoon scenery alone, the rooftop door was pushed open by several girls.

"Hahaha, look at her, she's not surprised or angry at all. We often saw people do this to her in high school. If you go up to her and ask for money in this situation, she'll give it to you one hundred percent of the time."

After saying that, the girl took the initiative to step forward and stood in front of Fujiwara Rin Sakura with a cheeky smile, reaching out her hand.

"Next time you want to eat, pay some money to protect your lunchbox, otherwise I'll make sure you don't get to eat lunch every time I see you."

Looking up at the girl's disgusting face, Fujiwara Rinko glanced at the iron fence behind her, then stood up, took out her wallet, and threw it down.

Upon seeing Fujiwara Rin Sakura throw her wallet downstairs, the girl didn't even have time to be angry. After all, it was her money, and if she was too slow, someone else might pick it up.

Watching her hurriedly run downstairs with a few girls from the doorway, Fujiwara Rin Sakura had had enough of this kind of life. Living was just for the sake of living, and even living was a sin.

Turning around, she walked to the railing, slowly climbed over, leaned against it, and watched the figures of several girls running out of the teaching building below. Before they could even scream, Lin Ying jumped down without hesitation.

With a dull thud, her long golden hair was scattered in the pool of blood, and her fair right hand was still tightly clutching the fairy tale book she loved.

Bonus Chapter - Thank you for marrying me

"Mrs. Bai, your husband has come to pick you up. Remember to get some rest when you get home. If you need any help, feel free to contact me."

A middle-aged woman stood at the entrance of the postpartum care center, giving Lin Ying some instructions and some very official remarks.

Lin Ying was very grateful for these words. While bowing to express her thanks, she also looked at Bai Yu behind her with pleading eyes.

Bai Yu, standing behind Lin Ying, naturally understood what Lin Ying meant. She smiled and nodded before taking out a red envelope from her pocket.

Bai Yu approached the woman and spoke very politely.

"Please write more about how Sister Hong has taken care of my wife over the past month or so. This is my way of showing my appreciation. Without your help, Lin Ying wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

Upon hearing this, the woman, whom Bai Yu called Sister Hong, laughed heartily and, somewhat embarrassed, accepted the red envelope from his hand.

"Mr. Bai, you are too kind. Since you trust us, we will definitely repay your trust two hundred percent. It is our honor that Mrs. Bai is in good health, just like before she gave birth."

Nodding, Bai Yu didn't exchange any more pleasantries with Sister Hong. She reached out and pulled Lin Ying into the car, heading towards home.

Currently, Bai Yu owns four villas in the villa area, which were signed by Si Yu, Su Rongxue, Qing Sisi, and Murong Liyue, and one villa belongs entirely to him.

Of course, the name on the property certificate is entirely his, but the person who actually bought the villa is Lin Ying.

The items she bought were not written about herself, but about Bai Yu.

Of course, she wasn't a citizen of this country, so she couldn't buy it; she could only write Bai Yu's name on it.

Even so, Lin Ying was still willing to put Bai Yu's name on the things she bought, including the Audi S8 that Bai Yu was driving at this moment.

"Lin Ying, it's been so many days since I've seen Bai Luo. Do you miss your daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ying, who was sitting in the passenger seat, nodded and then replied softly.

"Has Bai Luo been obedient at home? Has she caused you any trouble? Has she called you 'Dad' yet? Auntie...Are your mother and father still angry with you?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu felt that Lin Ying's questions needed to be answered one by one.

"Bai Luo is very obedient at home, but she's a bit unsociable. When Bai Ruo and Bai Murong Yue play together, she always prefers to play alone, it's like..."

At this point, Bai Yu looked at Lin Ying, who was standing to the side.

Seeing this, Lin Ying replied naturally.

"Like me, right?"

Nodding, Bai Yu did not deny it, and then continued.

"As for whether Xiao Luoluo has called me 'Dad' yet, you're probably too impatient. She's very close to me now, and I guess she'll call me 'Dad' soon."

"About my parents... I guess the conflicts between my parents and me will be somewhat irreconcilable in this lifetime, after all, when they found out about us... Sigh! Let's not talk about this. Today I want to take you to play around the northern part of the city, do you want to go?"

As for Bai Yu's words, although Lin Ying really wanted his relationship with his parents to improve as soon as possible, she only thought about it in her heart. She would not meddle in other people's business, nor would she think that she was smarter than Bai Yu.

She would feel sad and happy about Bai Yu's situation, but she would never interfere unless she really needed her.

You can go wherever you like.

After replying to Bai Yu, Lin Ying looked out the window, her thoughts unreadable.

Soon Bai Yu drove Lin Ying back to the villa area, to the villa that belonged only to him and Lin Ying.

Enter the password, and after opening the door, you can hear the nanny's voice inside.

"Luo Luo, eat something. Your mom and dad will be back soon, okay?"

The nanny's voice was very gentle, but for Bai Luo, who couldn't see her father, it was better not to drink the milk powder.

"Sister Liu, let us do it this way, thank you for your help."

As soon as she entered the door, Bai Yu apologized to Sister Liu, the nanny who usually took care of Bai Luo.

Although the nanny was responsible for helping to take care of Bai Luo, the little girl, Bai Luo, unlike other children, did not cry and fuss. However, she was very unsociable and did not like to drink milk without her parents' company.

This also means that most of the time Bai Yu has to watch Bai Luo finish drinking her milk before she can leave or go to sleep.

This made Bai Yu both happy that her daughter relied on her, and worried that this reliance was a bit too great.

If it were Bai Ruo, Bai Murong Yue, Bai Murong Li, Bai Xiaosu, and Bai Qing, even if they were very dependent on me, they wouldn't go to the point of not eating or drinking. At most, they would just make a fuss.

On the contrary, Bai Luo is completely different from them, just like her mother.

"Oh dear, why isn't Xiao Luoluo eating?"

Hearing Bai Yu's voice at the door, Bai Luo, who was sitting in the crib, rolled over and got up, crying loudly at her father.

"Wow wow~"

"Oh, oh, oh, Daddy, can you hold me while I drink Nana?"

Taking the baby bottle from Sister Liu's hand, Bai Yu quickly went to Bai Luo and picked her up.

Lin Ying, who was standing next to her, naturally followed. However, Bai Luo was clearly even happier when she saw her mother. Her little mouth, which had just grown two teeth, was drooling with laughter.

"Bai Luo, do you want Mommy to hold you?"

Lin Ying stretched out her hand and spoke in the language of the island nation. Although Bai Luo didn't understand it very well, she knew exactly what her mother's outstretched hands meant.

With her arms outstretched, Bai Luo waved her little hands, clearly wanting her mother to hug her.

Lin Ying held Bai Luo in her arms, while Bai Yu began feeding the little girl milk.

Happiness can be complicated at times, but it can also be very simple at others.

Lin Ying feels incredibly happy right now because she is able to be with the person she loves and with the baby born from their love—it's a rare stroke of luck.

Of course, all of this is indeed lucky for Lin Ying, because she got the life she wanted, instead of the endless grayness of the past.
