As soon as the words of eloping out of Liu Si Yu’s mouth, she regretted it.
She couldn’t leave her family behind; such an act would be too selfish. Besides, even if they ran, where could they hide?
Thugs were everywhere. With 10 million in their possession, they’d be like walking delicacies, vulnerable for assault at any time.
Moreover, she wasn’t confident they could escape the pursuit of the Huang family.
Fortunately, Zhao Yu’s next words eased her concerns.
“Do you think this is a TV drama? I ain’t no superpower or special ability to survive outside?”
“This gamble is between them and me. If you run with me, it’s akin to putting you in danger…” Zhao Yu spoke with a hint of sentiment.
Liu Si Yu realized that if they didn’t run, Zhao Yu would still give her the 10 million. But if they fled together, they would indeed face the threats.
Somewhat hesitantly, she responded defiantly, “I’m not afraid…”
Zhao Yu smiled faintly, understanding that fulfilling his original self’s wishes shouldn’t be too difficult, just not right now.
He reached out and gently touched Liu Si Yu’s head, “Silly girl, how could I put you in danger?”
Such words, which might have seemed cheesy in the past, would have surely made Liu Si Yu recoil.
But at this moment, she didn’t resist. Instead, she felt deeply touched.
“Stop overthinking. If we’re late, they’ll lock the dormitory doors.” Zhao Yu playfully ruffled her hair and chuckled.
This time, Liu Siyu refrained from retorting, fearing that she might spur Zhao Yu to genuinely consider eloping.
The three of them silently made their way back to the school.
Zhao Yu escorted the two of them to the base of the girls’ dormitory, drawing many astonished gazes.
“How come Zhao Yu is bringing Liu Si Yu back?”
“What’s going on between them?”
Being infamously known as a sycophant, the original owner frequently visited the girls’ dorm, making it easy for people to recognize him.
Overhearing the whispers, Zhao Yu remained unfazed, instructing, “You two should head up now; I’m heading back.”
“Mhm…”
Liu Si Yu showcased an unprecedented tenderness. Taking a few steps with Qiao Bing Bing, she paused, looking back at Zhao Yu, “Rest early too…”
Had it been the original owner hearing such caring words from his crush, he might’ve jumped for joy.
But Zhao Yu was calm, waving and turning to leave before the dormitory door was closed.
Watching his retreating figure, Qiao Bing Bing felt a sudden infatuation, cursing herself for not realizing Zhao Yu’s worth all these months.
People around noted that even after Zhao Yu had left, Liu Si Yu still stared affectionately after him.
“What the hell?!”
“Has Liu Si Yu fallen for Zhao Yu?”
“That lake-jumping stunt really worked…”
“If a man jumped into a lake for me, I’d be willing too…”
Hearing the idle chatter, Liu Si Yu’s face flushed in embarrassment. She hastily pulled Qiao Bing Bing towards the dorm.
Once they were away from the crowd, Liu Si Yu whispered, “Bing Bing, I think I’m in love with Zhao Yu. What should I do?”
Qiao Bing Bing felt contemptuous. He had jumped into a lake for you and you requested Huang Zi Long to bring you to the hospital to cut the tie with him.
But now he’s secured 10 million for you, you suddenly fall for him?
What a Gold Digger!
“Are you sure you love him, and not the 10 million?”
Liu Si Yu stopped in her tracks, shocked by Qiao Bing Bing’s statement.
“Bing Bing, you misunderstand…”
Qiao Bing Bing rolled her eyes, retorting, “If you truly love him, escape with him.”
With that, she let go of Liu Si Yu’s hand.
Liu Si Yu pondered if she was wrong.
Tears welled up, and she murmured, “I can’t bear to watch my family suffer…”
After composing herself, she entered the dorm.
Expecting Qiao Bing Bing to have spilled the day’s events.
Liu Si Yu braced for criticism. But the other roommates only asked about her late return.
“Liu Si Yu, did you have a fight with Bing Bing?”
One girl, pointing at Qiao Bing Bing who was now lying in bed covered with her blanket, whispered, “She’s been like this since she returned, and didn’t tell us why…”
Liu Si Yu sighed in relief, “It’s nothing…”
Under her blanket, Qiao Bing Bing pulled out her phone and searched for Zhao Yu in their class group.
She quickly sending him a friend request.
She wanted to date Zhao Yu, even if just for a day.
But she couldn’t let Liu Si Yu know; it had to be a secret.
Fortunately, Zhao Yu accepted the friend request, relieving Qiao Bing Bing.
“Are you home yet?” she cautiously began chatting, fearful of scaring him off.
She knew Zhao Yu to be utterly devoted to Liu Si Yu.
“Almost, still on the way…”
Qiao Bing Bing continued the conversation.
“Bro Yu, where have you been!? Haven’t seen you all evening. We are so scared that you are practicing your jumping technique at the lake again.”
Upon Zhao Yu’s return to his dorm, all three roommates were present, engrossed in their games, just like any other day..
