Chapter 240: Bai Yu: I Admit I Panicked
Hearing Shui Yue'er's words, Shui Ling Shuang narrowed her eyes, a smile playing on her lips.
“Haha, I naturally know Bing'er’s temperament, so I knocked her out beforehand and fed her something.”
“After that, I tidied her clothes, then placed her on the bed, and I also deliberately broke the spirit power lamp in the room.”
“The water Bai Yu drank, I had spiked it. As long as he doesn’t intentionally circulate his spirit power to clear the drunken state, he won’t recognize who is actually on the bed.”
“So, Bai Yu will just think that person is you. As for Bing'er, by the time she wakes up, everything will be a foregone conclusion!”
After Shui Ling Shuang finished speaking, Shui Yue'er subconsciously retreated two steps, her scalp tingling.
She hadn’t expected that her clever younger sister would fall prey to her mother’s demonic clutches just like that!
“This… Shui Ling Shuang, you… aren’t you afraid Bing'er will hate you after she wakes up?”
Shui Ling Shuang waved her hand, saying indifferently:
“Yue'er, you’re overthinking it. She’ll understand why I did this once she comes to her senses.”
“Besides, she also has a certain liking for Bai Yu. In the future, at most, she’ll just be sulky with me; nothing serious will happen.”
Shui Yue'er looked bewildered. Her sister liked Bai Yu? How did she not know? Where did she get that idea from?
“Shui Ling Shuang, you said Bing'er likes Bai Yu? What’s going on? How come I don’t know?”
Shui Ling Shuang looked at the confused Shui Yue'er, reached out to pat her head, and chuckled softly.
“Haha, if she didn’t like him, she would never have agreed to your and Bai Yu’s matter.”
“After all, you’re her older sister. If the man you chose wasn’t good enough, even if she didn’t say anything, she’d secretly sabotage it for you.”
Shui Yue'er’s mouth twitched. Thinking about Shui Bing'er’s personality, such a thing was indeed possible. So, she had to thank her sister for being generous and letting her off the hook?
“Even so, that doesn’t prove Bing'er likes Bai Yu, does it? At most, it just means she thinks I won’t suffer by being with Bai Yu.”
Shui Yue'er still didn’t understand. How could this be considered her sister having a liking for Bai Yu?
Shui Ling Shuang waved her hand and said to Shui Yue'er:
“I understand that girl Bing'er very well. How could I not know if she has a liking for him? Actually, you’re just too close to the situation. If you recall carefully, you should be able to see it too.”
“Alright, now that you know everything, I should go back and rest. I’ve been busy for so long, it’s quite tiring. Yue'er, you should also get some rest early.”
“Today, I’m sorry, dear, for letting that girl Bing'er go first. I hope you don’t mind.”
Shui Yue'er shook her head, indicating she didn’t mind. After all, this way, Shui Bing'er would have a good destination, and she would also have someone to accompany her.
After seeing Shui Ling Shuang out of the room, Shui Yue'er recalled what Shui Ling Shuang had said earlier and secretly reviewed Shui Bing'er’s actions during this period.
She eventually discovered that her Shui Ling Shuang seemed to be right; that girl Bing'er really did have a liking for Bai Yu!
Because, from her recollection, the number of times Shui Bing'er had mentioned Bai Yu during this period seemed to be no less than her own.
If she didn’t like him, would she go to such lengths? So, did this mean she had been kept in the dark all along?
Shui Yue'er huffed and puffed, hitting the quilt twice, thinking about how she would deal with Shui Bing'er in the future.
...
Early the next morning, Bai Yu opened his eyes, feeling a bit disoriented. With a slight movement, he felt the soft body in his arms and recalled what had happened yesterday.
Then, a smile played on his lips as he turned to look at the person beside him.
“Yue… Shui Bing'er!? How could it be you? How did you end up here? Did my memory fail me?”
Bai Yu nearly jumped up in surprise when he saw the person beside him.
To be honest, he was a little panicked. Bai Yu now thought that he had gone into the wrong room last night and had forcibly taken Shui Bing'er.
Although in his memory, it didn't seem to be the case, besides this, he really couldn't explain why Shui Bing'er was here.
Shui Bing'er didn't answer Bai Yu's question. Instead, after glancing at him, she continued to lie in Bai Yu's arms, her eyes blankly staring at the ceiling.
How could she answer? Say that Shui Ling Shuang had acted unfairly, directly knocked her out, fed her some good stuff, and then packaged her up and sent her off?
How could she say that? Shui Ling Shuang might not care about her reputation, but she, Shui Bing'er, did!
Speaking of which, Shui Bing'er had been awake for a long time. She hadn't made a fuss but had been thinking during this time why her mother would do such a thing.
Later, she understood. Her mother wanted her to use this opportunity to seek better development and also to find a good husband she could rely on.
Although Shui Ling Shuang was thinking of her, but! This was her older sister Shui Yue'er’s boyfriend. With something like this happening, how could she face Shui Yue'er in the future?
Shui Bing'er’s mood at this moment could be described as a mix of sorrow and anger. The sorrow was that her older sister might dislike her in the future, even turn against her and disown her as a younger sister.
The anger was directed at her mother, Shui Ling Shuang, who was so unfair, even scheming against her own daughter, and without even a word of warning.
Of course, she also knew that Shui Ling Shuang didn't tell her in advance simply because she was afraid she would object. How could a mother not understand her own daughter?
Finally, in Shui Bing'er’s heart, there was also a tiny, indescribable hint of secret joy.
Although this bit of secret joy made her feel somewhat awkward, she had to admit that she really did seem to have some feelings for Bai Yu.
Otherwise, when she first woke up, she would have gotten up and left directly. Why would she cling to Bai Yu’s embrace without moving?
Looking at the silent Shui Bing'er, Bai Yu increasingly felt that his memory was faulty, and he must have drunk too much last night and then forced himself on Shui Bing'er.
Although many things didn't add up, he didn't have time to think about those now. He, Bai Yu, had lived two lives and had never done such a despicable thing!
Even with Little Angel back then, it was only after they had a certain emotional foundation that he took her in a somewhat playful manner.
After all, if he didn't take the initiative, there would be no time for that tsundere Little Angel to take the initiative.
“Hiss, that… Bing'er, you… Last night, I drank too much and did this to you. I’m sorry. You see…”
“Forget it, apologizing is useless. Now we have only two paths: either you become my woman, just like Yue'er and the others.”
“Or you make a request, and I’ll compensate you. As long as I can do it, no matter what you ask for, I won’t refuse.”
Hearing Bai Yu’s words, a hint of a smile flashed in Shui Bing'er’s eyes, then she shook her head at Bai Yu.
“This has nothing to do with you; you don’t need to worry about it. As for how to resolve it, let’s talk after I see my dear mother first!”
