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

However, Li Cheng and the other two had begun to seriously doubt Bai Yu's sexual orientation.

They discovered that Bai Yu was always smiling and playful in the dormitory, but once outside, especially in front of girls, he became as cold as an ice cube.

The more the three of them thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong with Bai Yu. Her playful and carefree demeanor in the dormitory also made them feel a chill down their spines. Could it be that Bai Yu was after them?

If Bai Yu knew that in Li Cheng and the other two's hearts he had gone from a handsome guy to a handsome gay man, he would definitely jump up and beat them up!

Bai Yu's refusal caused Murong Liyue to pause for a moment in her seat.

She raised her eyes, which were like a pool of autumn water, her eyelashes trembling slightly. She glanced at Bai Yu but didn't say a word.

Bai Yu also subconsciously looked up and met Murong Liyue's gaze. Their eyes met briefly before looking away.

Bai Yu didn't want to have any interaction with Murong Liyue, and Murong Liyue naturally wasn't interested in Bai Yu either.

Although Bai Yu could indeed be described as "handsome," Murong Liyue had seen countless handsome men, and Bai Yu wasn't anything special, so she wasn't interested.

This was definitely good news for Bai Yu. The less interested Murong Liyue was in him, the better the news for Bai Yu. It was best to remain strangers like this!

The three of them spent most of the afternoon taking Bai Feng around, visiting all sorts of clubs, including anime club, street dance club, volleyball club, and basketball club. As it turned out, Bai Yu, who was the least interested in clubs, was the most sought-after one.

After all, having a beautiful woman or a handsome man in a club is a great asset, especially in an era that values ​​looks and money.

But Bai Yu always refused, and refused again and again. This behavior made Li Cheng and the other two more convinced that Bai Yu's sexual orientation might be problematic.

On their way back to the dorm, the three fell into deep thought. Bai Yu was cold to men and women alike, yet she was so talkative and cheerful with the three of them, as if she were a completely different person. Could it really be...?

A philosophical aura began to stir in the minds of the three.

"Touch~"

Li Cheng kicked open the dormitory door, followed closely by Wen Chiqi and Feng Zhou, with Bai Yu at the very back.

Upon returning to her dormitory, Bai Yu noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, even oppressive.

Seeing the three people sitting silently in their chairs, staring at her without saying a word, Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"Why are you three bastards staring at me like that?"

"Bai Yu, to be honest, we're both modern young people who have kept up with societal progress. If you have any unspeakable difficulties or anything... just say it, and we can work together to find a solution. Just don't..."

For no apparent reason, Bai Yu could only think of these four words, completely unable to understand what Li Cheng and the other two were trying to express.

"What do you mean by telling the truth? What are you guys doing?!"

"The three of us have noticed... you always act very aloof to everyone you meet outside, regardless of gender, but you completely change your attitude as soon as you get back to the dorm. Tell me, which of the three of us do you want to make a deal with?"

Damn, Bai Yu now understands, these three bastards think they're...

"Get the hell out of here! Get the hell out of here! What's going on in your heads, you three? Get the hell out of here! I'm not interested in you. What's wrong with being aloof in public? Don't you understand the principle of smiling when you can't have something?"

Bai Yu was speechless at Li Cheng and the other two. He wasn't gay, but he couldn't exactly say that his aloofness was to avoid being stabbed, could he? Who would believe that?

So he casually came up with the excuse of being aloof because he couldn't get what he wanted, but to Li Cheng and the other two, Bai Yu's excuse actually made a lot of sense.

There's nothing wrong with being aloof. Think about it, after being single for eighteen or nineteen years, you haven't gotten a single girl who greets you with a smile. It's better to be aloof and act profound, at least you'll save face, right?

"Wow, that's brilliant, strategist Bai! Our dorm's success in finding partners depends on you. Girls might see your aloofness as playing hard to get, but if we just go all out with our cool attitude, isn't that just brilliant?"

Bai Yu felt that he didn't think as much as these three guys, so he just said something casually, but who knew that one or two of them could understand so much? It's quite bizarre.

"Come on, what should we eat tonight? Young Master Feng is treating us tonight, so we should eat and play to our hearts' content!"

Bai Yu wasn't interested in the dating tips that Li Cheng and the other two were discussing; instead, she was more interested in what kind of fancy dinner Feng Zhou was treating them to that evening.

But at that moment, Bai Yu's phone vibrated in his pocket.

They took out their phones, and Li Cheng and the other two, not knowing how fast they had moved, all craned their necks to look.

The caller ID showed it was a WeChat call, and the caller ID read "Senior Sister Siyu".

P.S.: [Daily updates, please favorite, like, and vote! Thank you!]

Chapter Thirteen: They don't have the advantage of favorable timing, location, or popular support.

When Bai Yu saw that it was a WeChat call from Si Yu, her first reaction was not to answer and to wait for it to hang up automatically.

But Li Cheng and the other two looked at each other, staring expectantly at Bai Yu, hoping he would answer the call.

Holding their phones, the four grown men stared at each other. The atmosphere was a little off.

"What are you doing? Get out of the way, stop crowding around, aren't you hot?"

Bai Yu kept telling Li Cheng and the other two to stay away, but she didn't answer her phone for a long time, which made Wen Chiqi the first to lose his temper.

"Brother Bai, why don't you answer the phone? Don't let the beautiful girl call you first and then ignore her!"

Now, Bai Yu feels that she doesn't know whether to accept the offer or not.

It was during this period of hesitation and trial and error that WeChat calls stopped.

When the phone stopped ringing, Bai Yu felt a sense of calm wash over her, and she secretly breathed a long sigh of relief.

Before a smile could even appear on his face, a WeChat call didn't come, but a message did.

"Junior Bai Yu, remember to call back if you see this WeChat call~"

Below this sentence is an adorable kitten emoji.

"Hey, Bai Yu, hurry up and call her! Senior Si Yu is such a hottie, with that figure and that face, oh my, just thinking about it can ignite the primal instincts of any man!"

A bunch of perverts. Although Bai Yu himself is a pervert, he doesn't deny that, but Si Yu is one of the girls he doesn't want to associate with.

Now that Li Cheng and the other two are watching him, it would seem strange and abnormal if he didn't answer the phone.

The three of them had doubts about their sexual orientation before, but now that even a stunningly beautiful woman like Si Yu can ignore them, will they start to have doubts again?

After much hesitation, Bai Yu still made a WeChat call with trepidation.

The phone rang only once before Si Yu answered it.

"Hey, Bai Yu, you guys are so lucky your freshman military training was canceled. How about we grab some dinner tonight and hang out a bit?"

Si Yu's voice sounded quite excited, but Bai Yu felt as if a heavy stone had fallen on her heart.

He habitually turned on speakerphone when making or receiving calls, and Li Cheng and the other two could hear Si Yu's voice. Clearly, the three of them began to look at Bai Yu, and their meaning was self-evident.

"Senior..."

Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, Si Yu interrupted her.

"Don't call me 'senior sister' anymore, it sounds too distant. Just call me Si Yu, or... 'older sister' is fine too!"

With a speechless expression, Bai Yu felt that Si Yu was really taking her for granted.

I've only known Si Yu for a short time, and we've only had one meal together. How could we already feel so familiar with each other?

Of course, Bai Yu only thought these words in her heart, but could only agree verbally.

"Okay, Siyu, I'm going out to dinner with my roommate tonight, so it might not be convenient to go anywhere else."

"Hmm...it's okay, let's join together. Isn't it more fun to play together with more people?"

It was clear from Si Yu's words that she was somewhat dissatisfied with Bai Yu calling her by her name directly.

Based on Bai Yu's experience, Si Yu actually prefers her to call her "sister," but he won't. What can she do about it?

"still..."

Just as Bai Yu was about to say that she should forget about it, Feng Zhou kicked the stool under her butt. Their eyes met, and then they looked at Li Cheng and Wen Chiqi. Well, these three guys obviously didn't want Bai Yu to refuse.

"What's wrong, Bai Yu? Just tell me what's wrong, and we can go out and play together next time!"

Bai Yu really wanted to immediately reply to Si Yu, "Okay, next time."

But Li Cheng and his two companions were not so sure.

"It's alright, I'm free... How about we meet at the school gate, or somewhere else?"

Bai Yu almost cried when she heard this. Was it really that hard to avoid having excessive contact with Si Yu?

Even with favorable timing, location, and popular support, they're not on my side. Do they have to be so ruthless?

"Let's meet at the main gate of our school. I'll be waiting for you there, little junior!"

After saying that, Si Yu seemed to be in a good mood, and hung up the phone with a smile.

Li Cheng and the other two had such disgusting smiles that they looked like stinky chrysanthemums. Only Bai Yu felt her mental state instantly sour.

Of the four people, three were laughing and joking, washing up and tidying up, while the other one was sighing and lamenting, as if he had lost his dream.

If Li Cheng and the other two hadn't dragged Bai Yu out, this guy wouldn't have gone out at all. He kept making excuses to delay, saying he was either going to the toilet or getting a drink of water, acting like he wasn't feeling well or was on his period.

As for who my uncle-in-law is... I don't know either...

With heavy steps, Bai Yu's feet seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, making her walk so heavy and slow.

Li Cheng and the other two couldn't bear to watch any longer, unsure whether Bai Yu was genuinely unwell or just faking it.

The main gate of the school is closest to the girls' dormitory, while the boys' dormitory is closest to the canteen.

This really shows two ways to figure out the characteristics of boys and girls: most girls like to go shopping outside of school, while most boys prefer to stay home and eat!

The girls' dormitories are indeed much more upscale than the boys' dormitories. After all, they are newly built small villas, much like a residential complex. They have a gate similar to those of a residential complex, and the only thing missing is a security guard to make them feel like residential buildings.

Just as Bai Yu was leisurely passing by the gate of the girls' dormitory, a girl holding a steamed bun bumped into her.

Looking down, Bai Yu discovered that the person who bumped into her was Su Rongxue, a petite girl.

Her silver hair was tied into twin ponytails, and she was wearing a JK uniform—yes, JK—with black knee-high socks, exuding a strong anime vibe and giving off a dreamlike feeling.

However, these are not what Bai Yu cares about most. At least, Bai Yu, after being reborn, doesn't care about these things when it comes to Su Rongxue.

How could Su Rongxue bump into me on such a wide road? And why did she skip dinner to buy steamed buns? Does she really like steamed buns that much?

Before Bai Yu could speak, Su Rongxue blushed and apologized.

"Bai Yu, I'm sorry, I was just about to say hello, but I didn't know how to start and... bumped into you..."

Looking down at Su Rongxue, who was holding a steaming hot meat bun in her small hands, which was obviously a bit too hot, Bai Yu noticed that Su Rongxue was holding her hands in a cute, innocent, and slightly silly way. But that was no reason for Bai Yu not to avoid her.

"It's alright, you can go back now, goodbye!"

He turned and left decisively, without wasting any more words.
