Chapter 147: Good, good, good, let's see how many more can come.
Originally, after hearing Bai Yu’s first sentence, Ning Rongrong’s expression had already softened considerably.
But the very next sentence directly made her frown, break free from Bai Yu’s hands, and pinch his face again.
While pinching, she shouted in her heart:
“You dog, is it me who insists on competing? You were clearly staring at Zhuqing! And 'tiny is also very cute,' if it's so cute, why don't you look at me?!”
Bai Yu rolled over inside, dodging Ning Rongrong’s small hands; though the pinching didn't hurt, being shaken back and forth was quite uncomfortable.
“Alright, alright, stop messing around. Hurry up and go to sleep. What time is it? It’ll be dawn soon!”
Ning Rongrong directly bounced onto Bai Yu’s bed, lunged forward, and stubbornly said:
“No, either you take me tonight, or I take you. If you want me to leave, I’m telling you it’s impossible!”
Just as Bai Yu was about to speak and persuade her, he heard movement outside the door again, and his mouth twitched slightly, his expression somewhat speechless.
“Heh, did you all plan this? How is it that another one has come?”
Ning Rongrong’s expression froze. She was about to ask Bai Yu what he meant by 'another one has come'?
But before she could speak, she saw Bai Yu’s gaze fixed on the door, and she turned to look, noticing the doorknob turning downwards.
Ning Rongrong’s body instantly stiffened, thinking, 'Oh no, caught red-handed!'
Then, without thinking, her body’s instinct told her to hide immediately!
Ning Rongrong, like a startled cat, flew off the bed, scanned left and right, spotted the wardrobe, immediately opened its door, and drilled inside.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yu’s mouth slightly opened, and he muttered, 'The instincts of humans truly transcend the World!'
As soon as Ning Rongrong hid, the room door opened, and Dugu Yan poked her head in, sneaking in stealthily.
“What are you doing, acting like a thief? Tell me, what idea do you have with this whole act?”
Hearing Bai Yu suddenly speak, Dugu Yan was startled. Then she realized Bai Yu wasn't asleep and said somewhat awkwardly:
“Ahem, Bai Yu, you’re not asleep either? I couldn’t sleep either, so I just wanted to come and see.”
Bai Yu raised a hand to cover half his face, sighing. He didn't believe a word of Dugu Yan’s nonsense.
What 'she couldn’t sleep either, so she just wanted to come and see'? Isn't she treating him like an idiot?
Dugu Yan’s idea was probably the same as Ning Rongrong’s—she just wanted to give herself to him, coming over for free!
But unlike Ning Rongrong, Bai Yu actually didn't object to Dugu Yan coming for free, but now wasn't the time.
That girl Ning Rongrong was still hiding in the wardrobe. He couldn't possibly give her a live broadcast, that would be too big a blow to her!
Then Bai Yu clicked his tongue and said in annoyance:
“Well, you’ve seen what you wanted to see. Go back and get some rest early. Didn’t you tell your team members that you were going to train in the morning?”
“If you don’t rest soon, you’ll stand them up. As a captain, not keeping your word isn’t very good.”
Hearing Bai Yu tell her to leave, Dugu Yan immediately became unhappy and said through gritted teeth:
“Bai Yu, tell me the truth, do you not like me at all? Did you only ask me to be your girlfriend to humor my grandfather?”
“If you say yes, I’ll turn around and leave immediately, and I’ll talk to my grandfather.”
“I’m telling you, even though I liked you the first time I saw you, I, Dugu Yan, am not so cheap as to cling to you!”
“I don’t want you to be with me just because of my grandfather’s face, and for you, I’m just something dispensable!”
Hearing Dugu Yan’s words, Bai Yu’s eyes widened, and his eyelids twitched violently. He hadn’t expected her reaction to be so strong just from him telling her to go back first.
This contained a bit of pessimism. Looking at her lively demeanor, she didn’t seem like such a negative person?
But now wasn't the time to think about these things. Seeing Dugu Yan about to cry, Bai Yu quickly got up, walked over, and pulled her into his arms.
“Where did you get these ideas? My asking you to be my girlfriend has nothing to do with your grandfather. If you really want to say, you can understand it as a fated connection from a previous life.”
“So don’t overthink this, like I’m some kind of scumbag. But then again, why did you suddenly have such thoughts?”
As Bai Yu thought, Dugu Yan was a very confident person, and she shouldn't be overthinking these things. So his first thought was that someone had said something to her.
But that shouldn’t be. Given Zhu Zhuqing’s personality, it’s impossible for her to say anything messy. Ning Rongrong wouldn’t either; she’s not that brainless.
Ye Lingling came and backstabbed her best friend? That’s even more unlikely.
If Dugu Yan and him broke up, for Ye Lingling, it would mean instantly gaining the dislike of both of them. Isn’t that just pure idiocy?
Thinking this, Bai Yu’s mouth twitched slightly, and he thought, 'Could it be that idiot Xiao Wu?'
Wanting to help her two good sisters in front of Dugu Yan, but she didn’t control herself well and hit Dugu Yan’s sore spot?
Dugu Yan’s pretty face was slightly red at this moment. Bai Yu’s comfort and this intimate gesture made her sigh in relief.
Then she bit her lip and said coyly:
“I hadn’t thought about these things, but today in the Great Spirit Arena, I told my team members that you were my boyfriend, but they didn’t believe it at all.”
“Although they congratulated me a few times, they were extremely perfunctory and didn't take it seriously at all. They just felt that I wasn’t good enough for you.”
“That’s why I got scared, felt a bit anxious about gain and loss, and came to find you tonight.”
“But since you like me, why do you still… still want to send me away? I don’t believe you don’t understand what I came for!”
Hearing what Dugu Yan said, Bai Yu’s expression cleared. No wonder her teammates were so strange before; so this is what happened.
But facing Dugu Yan’s final question, Bai Yu showed a bitter smile. Just as he was about to call Ning Rongrong out, his mouth suddenly twitched.
“Good, good, good, this one isn’t even resolved yet, and another one has come. Fine, I’m going to challenge you all today. Let’s see how many more can come!”
Huh? Dugu Yan’s expression suddenly went blank, her face full of confusion. What was Bai Yu talking about?
Just as she was about to ask, she heard the sound of the door opening. Dugu Yan’s eyes instantly widened, and she began to repeat Ning Rongrong’s actions.
Then she broke free from Bai Yu’s embrace, opened the wardrobe door, and rushed inside.
Bai Yu raised a hand, looking at Dugu Yan’s back, but before he could speak, two muffled exclamations came from inside the wardrobe.
Then Bai Yu’s expression was calm. He turned and sat on the bed. It didn’t matter anymore; let whatever happens happen. As long as he wasn’t embarrassed, others would be!
As soon as Zhu Zhuqing entered the room, she saw Bai Yu sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes vacant, looking as if his soul had flown away.
“Uh, Bai Yu, what’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you asleep yet? It couldn’t be that the injuries you sustained earlier in the Great Spirit Arena haven’t healed, have they?”
