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

Xia Rong was somewhat unhappy when she first found out, because she genuinely disliked Bai Yu. He was good for nothing except being handsome, and his attitude towards studying was the worst in the class; all he did was sleep all day.

So Xia Rong's current idea is precisely to let Su Rongxue take advantage of Bai Yu in return, since interests are always exchanged, and she doesn't want Su Rongxue to suffer in silence.

Unfortunately, Su Rongxue hasn't told Xia Rong yet that Bai Yu has canceled the plan to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Isn't that a bad idea? Won't Bai Yu be angry?"

"Angry? What's there for him to be angry about? He's been invited by my lovely Xiaoxue, does he have the right to be angry? He's incredibly lucky!"

Perhaps it was Xia Rong's words that gave Su Rongxue courage, or perhaps Su Rongxue had subconsciously wanted to invite Bai Yu, because she actually started to think about inviting Bai Yu.

She turned to look at Bai Yu, who was looking down at her phone by the window, but Su Rongxue immediately looked away, as if she was afraid of being discovered.

"Then... I'll tell him later."

As she said this, Su Rongxue opened the book she had brought and began to read, but whether she actually absorbed it or not... was hard to say.

After evening self-study, Bai Yu wanted to tell Su Rongxue that the plan to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend was canceled, while Su Rongxue also wanted to tell Bai Yu that she had invited him to a dinner party.

So the two of them walked straight towards each other as soon as get out of class ended, but Su Rongxue was a little slower, while Bai Yu, being thick-skinned, walked quickly.

As the two met, Bai Yu was about to speak when Su Rongxue opened her mouth to say something as well.

Seeing this, Bai Yu stopped talking, meaning to let Su Rongxue speak first, and Su Rongxue also stopped talking, also letting Bai Yu speak first.

The unspoken understanding between the two is truly remarkable.

"Our plan to impersonate someone has been cancelled. I sent you a message, but you didn't seem to see it."

Bai Yu said what she wanted to say, and Su Rongxue felt even emptier inside after being told by the person in charge that the fake boyfriend-girlfriend relationship was canceled than when she first saw the news.

However empty it may seem, it's still just an act, and if it's canceled, all we can do is nod in agreement.

"Oh, I see."

After saying "I understand," Su Rongxue fell silent.

Bai Yu had clearly noticed that Su Rongxue had something to say, so she subconsciously asked a question.

Is there something you want to say?

"Um...I...I'd like to invite you to a dinner party for the Literature and Art Department, is that alright?"

"The Literature and Art Department?"

Bai Yu's first reaction upon hearing Su Rongxue's words was to wonder what kind of department the Literature and Art Department was.

"My club is having a get-together tomorrow, could...could I come along..."

As she spoke, Su Rongxue realized she couldn't continue. She interlocked her fingers, looking incredibly cute.

However, Bai Yu wasn't stupid. Even before Su Rongxue finished speaking, he knew what the girl was going to say.

She just wants me to go with her, right? She's probably scared to go alone!

Because Su Rongxue had helped her, even though it hadn't worked and had even backfired, Bai Yu still had to repay the favor.

Even though Su Rongxue doesn't seem to have a deeper relationship with me than friendship, I still have to be careful, right?

"Okay, I'll go with you as a way of repaying you for the trouble you've caused these past two days."

Although Bai Yu knew very well that Su Rongxue didn't have romantic feelings for him, he didn't change his tone much, because he felt that his tone conveyed more distance. (Chapter 130: Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover)

Bai Yu felt that her tone and aloof appearance created a good sense of distance, but Su Rongxue had gradually gotten used to it.

Su Rongxue was somewhat incredulous that Bai Yu had agreed to her invitation, as she felt it would be very troublesome, and she had always known that Bai Yu disliked troublesome things.

"Success?"

"What succeeded?"

Bai Yu was somewhat puzzled by Su Rongxue's sudden, slightly surprised remark, "It was a success."

Upon hearing Bai Yu's question, Su Rongxue quickly waved her hand and explained.

"No, thank you so much... I'll treat you tomorrow..."

Upon hearing these weak yet slightly ingratiating words, Bai Yu lowered her head slightly and whispered something in the other person's ear before they could finish speaking.

"I have plenty of money."

This is something Bai Yu wanted to say in her previous life. After all, you can only truly show off in front of rich women, right?

Watching Bai Yu leave with her hands in her pockets after saying that to her, Su Rongxue thought Bai Yu was so silly.

Yes, it's just so silly, that kind of naive hesitation.

Su Rongxue always thought of herself as someone who was barely making ends meet, but she still wouldn't dare to say something like what Bai Yu said. What else could it be but naivety?

The contrast between Bai Yu's domineering and unreasonable behavior one second and his silly antics the next made Su Rongxue's lips curl up slightly, giving her an urge to tease him.

"Xiaoxue, stop staring at that jerk. Once you've used him, don't get involved with him anymore. You can tell at a glance that he's no good."

Xia Rong, who was sitting in her seat waiting for Su Rongxue, saw the girl secretly gloating while watching Bai Yu's back and couldn't help but bring up Bai Yu's faults again.

This also shows how much Xia Rong likes Bai Yu.

This incident also shows that Bai Yu, when facing a normal girl, would immediately raise her favorability rating to an extremely low level.

But he ended up with a silly girl like Su Rongxue, who was the same no matter how he looked at her, and he almost lost his composure.

"Xia Rong, actually... Bai Yu isn't a bad person, he's just a little withdrawn."

Su Rongxue's weak plea was better left unsaid; it only made Xia Rong more dissatisfied with Bai Yu. She felt that her little Xue was being corrupted by that jerk.

Most importantly, Xia Rong regretted giving Su Rongxue the terrible idea. She actually thought that the foolish Su Rongxue would take advantage of the cunning and unreasonable Bai Yu. She was blinded by greed and wanted to ascend to immortality.

"No, no, Xiaoxue, I regret it. I won't go to the club gathering tomorrow. I'll go with you. I can't let Baiyu lead you astray. What if she bullies you?"

Xia Rong regrets it now, but Su Rongxue has already invited Bai Yu, so how could she break the contract?

"It's okay, Xia Rong. I won't go astray, and Bai Yu really isn't bad."

Su Rongxue was trying her best to defend Bai Yu's character, but unfortunately Bai Yu didn't know. If she did, she would feel sorry for the girl.

In his previous life, Bai Yu felt that he had cultivated too much goodwill towards girls. In this life, the last thing he needed was girls' goodwill. Maintaining the most beautiful distance would be better for him.

At this moment, Bai Yu had already embarked on her journey back to her dormitory. At night, the ginkgo leaves on both sides of the campus were falling in the wind, and a few golden leaves would occasionally land on Bai Yu's face.

The cool touch made Bai Yu look up at the treetops and then at the sky. It was a dark, windy night with a full moon, but unfortunately nothing would happen here.

"Phew, it's getting cooler and cooler. I'll go back and have a nice nap first."

"Come on, Bai Yu, every time you lie in bed saying you're going to sleep, you're just playing on your phone. What kind of sleep are you talking about?"

"Get lost, Li Cheng, you bastard, stop talking about me. Aren't you the same?"

......

The four of them, laughing and joking, returned to their dorm building. This day was destined to pass like this.

Although it was a very ordinary day, it was a day of close calls for Bai Yu.

In fact, after escaping Si Yu's clutches, he never thought about how he should face this girl afterward.

The experience almost led to a repeat of the same mistake, but after careful consideration, Bai Yu was able to figure out how to avoid triggering some of Si Yu's terrible attributes.

That's my girlfriend. Dating a girlfriend is strictly forbidden. Even if you do date her, you can't tell Si Yu, otherwise the love will really disappear.

This was a breakthrough that Bai Yu discovered, but after calming down, he actually felt that he would never touch this trigger point, since having a girlfriend was a thankless task.

Those who have never experienced having a girlfriend will always yearn to be loved and to love, but for Bai Yu, given the choice between life and love, he would naturally choose life.

If you're wondering, why not just choose Si Yu directly?

Goodness, here's the problem: Si Yu only refers to herself as "sister," but I'm the one who's actively trying to escalate our relationship. Is there something wrong with that?

Moreover, Bai Yu has to face not only Si Yu, but also Murong Liyue and Qing Sisi. These two are also troublesome. What if they end up like Si Yu?

Therefore, the taboo that Bai Yu absolutely cannot touch right now is "girlfriend".

Lying in bed, the dormitory lights had been off for at least an hour, but Bai Yu couldn't fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned without using her phone. Maybe she wasn't sleepy, or maybe she was apprehensive about Si Yu's situation today. In any case, she just couldn't sleep.

It's not a big deal if you can't sleep, after all, everyone experiences insomnia at least once or twice a year.

Bai Yu took out her phone, put on her earphones, and prepared to listen to some music to relax her tense emotions.

But just then, he heard something suddenly fall to the ground from the dormitory floor.

Gently lifting the curtains, I looked curiously at the things on the ground.

It was a wad of white toilet paper. Losing tissues in the middle of the night, especially such a large wad, was very suspicious.

As two experienced people, how could Bai Yu not know what that blob was?

So it's not hard to guess what exactly is inside.

However, he never expected that this thing was actually lost by Feng Zhou.

Normally, Feng Zhou, this seemingly refined scoundrel, appears to be the most respectful and, of course, the richest among the four. But today, he's truly been flattered by Bai Yu.

No wonder he used glasses to conceal his simmering fever—a seemingly refined scoundrel. Appearances can be deceiving! Chapter 131 Waiting (Bonus Chapter 9 for Monthly Tickets)

the next day--

Bai Yu had classes that morning, and not only was her entire morning full of classes, but they were all large lectures.

In this situation, Bai Yu would definitely have skipped classes in her previous life, not for any other reason than that large classes were the least likely to get caught.

However, Bai Yu was betrayed by a traitor in her own class last time. If she skips class again, she will probably be betrayed again, and things will become more complicated. So, she decided against it.

Moreover, Bai Yu is more laid-back in this life. Skipping class is just sleeping a little longer in the dormitory. Wouldn't it be better to come to the classroom and sleep safely?

It's almost halfway through the semester, and if you ask Bai Yu what he's learned, well, sorry, this guy hasn't even seriously studied two classes.

Of course, even without learning from Bai Yu, one can still use the memories of their previous life to ensure their chances of passing the exam. Perhaps, maybe, they should be able to pass.

If you fail, you can just retake the exam; it's no big deal. (Please do not imitate this; failing the regular exam doesn't guarantee you'll pass the retake either.)

You'll run into a lot more people in the big class, including Qing Sisi's brother, Qing Siling. Bai Yu gets angry just thinking about Qing Siling.

Originally, Bai Yu had absolutely no connection with Qing Sisi. Even if they were to get involved, it would be a year from now. But this guy insisted on playing matchmaker, which made Bai Yu angrier the more she thought about it.

You might ask, why did Bai Yu suddenly think of Qing Si Ling?
