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

Once Su Rongxue leaves, without that obstacle, wouldn't I have a better chance with Bai Yu?

"Su Rongxue, are you feeling unwell?"

"Yeah, why do we have to go back so soon after we've just started eating?"

"If you're really feeling unwell, don't be embarrassed to say so. Your health is the most important thing."

......

The girls' double act was incredibly impressive. They say three women make a drama, but there were five surrounding Bai Yu. It wasn't just a drama; it was a special effects movie.

But Su Rongxue wasn't physically uncomfortable; she was emotionally distressed.

However, each of the girls' comments left the girl speechless.

Just then, Zhang Caiming, who was sitting at another table, suddenly walked over.

"What's going on? Why are you all crowding around? Could it be that you've all taken a fancy to our Brother Bai Yu?"

Zhang Caiming's words, though seemingly a joke, were actually meant to lower Bai Yu's standing in Su Rongxue's eyes and to separate the two.

Unfortunately, this not only didn't work, but it also made Su Rongxue feel even more uncomfortable.

"What nonsense! Minister, you're giving me, Bai Yu, far too much credit."

While Bai Yu spoke modestly, she knew perfectly well what Zhang Caiming was thinking.

But Zhang Caiming seemed to be a little tipsy from drinking. Fueled by the alcohol, he actually put his hands on the table and stared straight at Su Rongxue before boldly confessing his feelings.

"I like you, Su Rongxue. Can I go out with you?"

They say alcohol emboldens the timid, and Bai Yu has certainly seen it for herself today.

If the confession is successful, it's a great achievement, making others envious; but if it fails, it's social death when you wake up from the drunken stupor.

Fortunately, everyone here was from the Literature and Art Department. Although no one seemed to have expected Zhang Caiming to suddenly confess his feelings, the girls were the first to react after the initial shock.

"Oh, so the minister actually confessed. Do you think our Su Rongxue will agree so easily?"

"Hey, hey, maybe. After all, the minister is quite good, and his family is wealthy. What if Su Rongxue is willing?"

"Exactly, don't look down on our minister, okay?!"

......

The five girls started to egg her on. Each of their individual remarks didn't seem to have any special meaning, but when put together, they indirectly began to coax Su Rongxue into agreeing.

At this moment, Su Rongxue was already feeling a little uncomfortable, and when Zhang Caiming suddenly confessed his love to her so boldly in front of so many people, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She clung tightly to Bai Yu's clothes, her little hands gripping hers as if she were afraid Bai Yu would abandon her.

Feeling Su Rongxue's hand gripping the hem of her clothes, Bai Yu turned her head and saw the girl with her head down, not saying a word.

Although Su Rongxue didn't say anything, Bai Yu knew at a glance that she didn't like Zhang Caiming.

However, with so many people cheering and some boys joining in, it felt like there was some indirect coercion.

Su Rongxue's personality is rather introverted and gentle, and the jeers from so many people only made her feel more helpless.

Bai Yu was destined to play the villain.

Standing up, Bai Yu patted Zhang Caiming on the shoulder without any hesitation and said...

"I'm sorry, Minister, it seems that Su Rongxue doesn't have those kinds of feelings for you."

Bai Yu's act of helping Su Rongxue refuse was like a blatant wolf trying to steal meat from Zhang Caiming's mouth. Coupled with Zhang Caiming's initial dislike for Bai Yu, he instantly exploded under the influence of alcohol.

"No, Su Rongxue didn't say anything. Why are you saying such things? Even if it's a refusal, Su Rongxue should be the one to say it. Don't interrupt."

In response to Zhang Caiming's words, Bai Yu calmly straightened her slightly wrinkled coat and spoke again.

"Trust me, don't ask anymore."

After saying that, Bai Yu lifted the stool and turned to walk out, but Su Rongxue immediately grabbed Bai Yu's clothes and followed her.

When the five girls saw Bai Yu, who had just started arguing with Zhang Caiming, they wanted to try to persuade her, but unfortunately Bai Yu walked away quickly and left the hot pot restaurant in just a few steps.

As Su Rongxue, who was following behind, took a step out, tears began to slide down her cheeks.

"Su Rongxue, I really like you. Don't you like me?"

Zhang Caiming hadn't given up yet and even chased after them from inside.

At that moment, Bai Yu saw Su Rongxue, who was bowing her head and crying quietly.

Bai Yu was also a little confused as to why the girl was crying, but she spoke to Zhang Caiming about it again.

"Don't deceive yourself, just understand it in your heart."

One sentence was truly devastating, leaving Zhang Caiming with no suspense whatsoever. Chapter 135: A Little Temper

Bai Yu didn't immediately ask Su Rongxue why she was crying. Instead, she stopped outside the hotel near the hot pot restaurant.

Wherever Bai Yu went, Su Rongxue followed, her little hand never letting go of his clothes.

"Why are you crying? It's just that someone confessed their feelings to you. What's there to cry about?"

"I...didn't cry..."

A soft, nasal voice came through, leaving Bai Yu speechless.

Bending slightly, Bai Yu reached out and pinched Su Rongxue's small face, lifting her lowered head, and said in an annoyed tone.

"Don't act like a child. It's not a big deal, why are you crying? Haven't you ever been confessed to before?"

After hearing Bai Yu's words, Su Rongxue did not reply, but only bit her lip with a slightly aggrieved expression.

"Alright, this hot pot meal is on me, okay?"

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Su Rongxue tugged at the corner of Bai Yu's coat with her small hand and said in a voice barely above a whisper.

"No need... Please, you idiot..."

The voice was very soft, and since they were on a busy street, it was noisy, so Bai Yu couldn't hear what the girl was saying at all.

"What did you say?"

She asked this question with a puzzled look, but Su Rongxue just shook her head, her hand still holding onto the corner of the white raincoat.

"Don't hold my hand anymore. You're a grown man, are you afraid of getting lost?"

Bai Yu's tone wasn't harsh, but it certainly wasn't gentle either.

This time, however, Su Rongxue did not obediently let go. Instead, she gently tugged at Bai Yu's clothes, as if she were throwing a tantrum.

A gentle breeze caressed my face. It was now completely dark, and the surroundings were already brightly lit. Looking down from above, I could see two figures, one tall and one short, a man and a woman, moving through the bustling city.

Just as Bai Yu was walking past that hotel, a tall, slender figure walked by the glass window of a private room on the fifth floor of the hotel.

Watching the cars coming and going outside the hotel, Murong Liyue reached out and touched the window. Ignoring her mother and brother talking behind her, she was thinking about the kiss in the club that day, a kiss that left her unable to calm down for a long time.

Let's turn our attention back to this point—

After accompanying Su Rongxue back to the school gate by taxi, Bai Yu had already received messages from Li Cheng and the other two inviting him to stay up all night. But Su Rongxue just wouldn't let go of his clothes.

“We’re at the school gate. You’ve been pulling on my clothes for over half an hour now. If you damage them, I’ll have to pay for them. Hongxing Erke is a big brand, and it’s very expensive.”

Bai Yu just wanted to go online and couldn't wait for Su Rongxue to let go, because it wouldn't look good for people coming and going at school to see them like this.

But as soon as Bai Yu said this, Su Rongxue obediently let go of his hand, only to ask a rather futile question.

"Are you having breakfast tomorrow?"

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, because he had no idea what Su Rongxue meant by her sudden words.

"Breakfast? What's the point of breakfast? I'll just stay at an internet cafe all night, I probably won't eat anything."

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Su Rongxue raised her hand and tugged at Bai Yu's sleeve again, speaking weakly.

"I want to eat."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu retorted irritably.

"Don't try to teach me anything, just go back now."

After loosening her grip on Bai Yu's clothes, Su Rongxue picked up her phone and actually sent Bai Yu a transfer of two hundred yuan, adding a weak comment.

"I didn't eat much before, so you can order... takeout."

Picking up her phone and seeing the 200 yuan transfer displayed, Bai Yu was truly speechless. How could this girl be so...

"No need, I've eaten enough meat. And if you're worried about being harassed by the head of the arts department, you can quit the club. Be bolder in general, and don't cry all the time like a little kid."

After saying this, Bai Yu returned the transfer and then turned and walked away with her hands in her pockets.

However, Su Rongxue was slightly dissatisfied with Bai Yu's criticism and muttered something under her breath.

"No, I didn't."

Actually, Su Rongxue was throwing a tantrum the whole way, but she was also quite cute when she was being temperamental. She would just hold Bai Yu and not say a word, although it seemed to have no effect on Bai Yu at all.

You could say that no one is afraid of Su Rongxue's little temper tantrums, mainly because it's hard to be afraid of this girl even if you want to.

Of course, this actually excludes Bai Yu. Anyone can be unafraid of Su Rongxue, but he cannot be unafraid.

However, Bai Yu currently only regards Su Rongxue as an ordinary friend, because Su Rongxue also treats him as a friend in the same way.

However, Bai Yu might be too naive. Even though he was still wary of Su Rongxue, his efforts seemed to be having less and less effect, and were even starting to go in a bad direction.

They say plans can't keep up with changes, and Bai Yu isn't a god; her ideas are always wonderful, but reality always slaps her in the face.

Unfortunately, Bai Yu hasn't noticed anything unusual yet. She only feels that Su Rongxue is acting a little strange today, and that's all.

After crossing the road between the school and the internet cafe, Bai Yu headed straight into the internet cafe.

It's not a problem to work through the night, but it's only a little before nine o'clock now, so it's still too early to work through the night. Besides, Bai Yu's position isn't next to Li Cheng and the other two, because the camera positions are next to each other.

Of course, there won't be many people staying overnight, so the four of us will still be able to sit together.

I won't go into detail about playing games. Whether you're on a losing streak or a winning streak depends on whether Bai Yu's four roommates are a perfect match today.

The next morning—

I don't know what time it is, but Bai Yu is lying on the chair, fast asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, all four of them woke up groggily, and their first reaction was to go back to their dorm room to continue sleeping.
