while slowing down the car.
As the cold wind blew in from outside, Song Xu Yi gradually regained some of her senses.

“It’s too stuffy in the car, keep the window open,” she said.

For the rest of the journey, Song Xu Yi managed to maintain her composure, not doing anything to offend Bai Yu under the cold breeze.

Soon, they arrived at the shopping mall.

Despite not being a frequent shopper, Song Xu Yi’s attire gave away her wealthy background.
As a result, every time they entered a store, the sales assistant would enthusiastically recommend various products to her.

After communicating with the salespeople, Song Xu Yi’s restlessness subsided.

She soon bought the gift she needed.

As they left the mall, Song Xu Yi bought a bottle of cooling oil and planned to use it as a physical method to calm herself down whenever she felt emotionally agitated.
However, during the second half of the ride back to her home, Bai Yu did not rest her head on Song Xu Yi’s knee as before.
Instead, she sat upright with a look of anger, pursing her lips tightly and emitting an aura that screamed “Do not approach.”

Had Bai Yu discovered Song Xu Yi’s longing for her?

Song Xu Yi’s heart sank, but she didn’t dare to confront Bai Yu and ask directly.
She just closed her eyes and pretended to nap on the back seat, but she couldn’t shake off her unease.
She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt Bai Yu’s presence becoming increasingly cold and distant.

After a short while, the car arrived at the Song family’s ancestral home.

The ancestral home had already started the dinner party.
Song Xu Yi was urged by her mother to change into formal attire and put on makeup.
Song Xu Yi was surprised to find that her mother had prepared a light purple dress for her.
Looking at herself in the mirror with makeup on and glancing at Bai Yu beside her, Song Xu Yi inexplicably felt that they looked like a couple…

However, Song Xu Yi did not notice the deep and profound gaze of Bai Yu when she looked at her.
She was immersed in her own thoughts, realizing what she was thinking, feeling disgusted with herself, and starting to indulge in her own daydreams again.
She almost fled downstairs.

Father Song was chatting with someone not far from the stairs and when he saw Song Xu Yi’s appearance, he laughed and said, “Unknowingly, our Xu Yi has become a beautiful young lady! A pretty girl like you shouldn’t be stuck in the laboratory all day long.
Come on, let Dad introduce you to a few sons of his friends.”

Without waiting for Song Xu Yi’s reaction, father Song took her by the hand and led her into the crowd.

In front of the crowd, Song Xu Yi couldn’t refuse father Song’s proposal and could only be embarrassedly led by him to follow a group of people, absent-mindedly joining in their conversation while her eyes wandered around, inevitably falling on Bai Yu who was standing aside.


Even standing in the corner, Bai Yu couldn’t conceal the brilliance emanating from her body.
Among the crowd, Bai Yu was always the most dazzling one.

However, Bai Yu still had a cold face, and her gaze as she looked over… seemed to carry some anger?

Song Xu Yi didn’t know why, but she had a sudden thought of being a wife who was trying to catch her husband cheating.

However, when Song Xu Yi looked over again, Bai Yu had already turned her head away.

Song Xu Yi pursed her lips: the noble and outstanding Bai Yu could not possibly show such an expression.
It must be that she had made a mistake, but Bai Yu was definitely still angry about her coveting…

For a moment, Song Xu Yi’s heart became even more bitter.

After chatting for a while, father Song asked Song Xu Yi to add WeChat with some of his friend’s sons.
However, when Song Xu Yi took out her phone, she found that the screen flashed and then the battery died.

Father Song didn’t insist and continued to talk about business with others.
Song Xu Yi took the opportunity to escape and went to eat something on the side.

At this moment, she didn’t want to be dragged to socialize by her family, nor did she want to face Bai Yu alone in her room.
She could only try to delay time by eating at the dining table.
It must be said that the food prepared by the Song family this time was particularly delicious.
Even though her mood was bad, Song Xu Yi still ate a lot, especially a kind of small cake.
After biting it open, the extremely delicious runny filling flowed out.
Song Xu Yi ate many of them in a row.

Mother Song, who came to find Song Xu Yi, saw the pile of cake paper next to her and widened her eyes: “Xu Yi! I was just about to tell you, there’s alcohol in the lava filling…”

But it was too late.

In front of her, mother Song’s appeared as two overlapping figures.
Song Xu Yi looked at her and laughed foolishly: “Oh, I see!”

With a helpless sigh, mother Song had to call someone to send Song Xu Yi back to her room and bring her sobering soup.

In reality, Song Xu Yi still had some consciousness left and obediently drank the sobering soup.
However, she couldn’t help feeling that this was the best situation possible: she wouldn’t have to stay in the living room awkwardly if she was drunk, and she probably wouldn’t have that strange dream again while drunk, nor would she have to face the cold and aloof Bai Yu.

The room dimmed, and a servant fed Song Xu Yi some soup before turning off the lights and leaving the room.

As Song Xu Yi began to doze off, someone entered and began to remove her makeup, gently wiping her cheeks with a towel.

Feeling comfortable, Song Xu Yi murmured and fell into a deep sleep.

Unexpectedly, she dreamed of Bai Yu again.
It seemed like a continuation of the dream from the night before.

They were back at the Bai family’s ancestral home, but the ceremony of paying respects to heaven and earth seemed to have passed.
Song Xu Yi and Bai Yu sat together on a redwood bed covered with a bright red silk quilt.
The red quilt was dazzling, making Bai Yu’s skin look even whiter and more snow-like.

Strangely, Bai Yu was not wearing a bright red wedding dress.
She was still dressed in the purple gown Song Xu Yi had seen her in earlier.


Bai Yu looked incredibly cold, frowning at Song Xu Yi and staring into her eyes.
Her voice was chilly as she asked, “Song Xu Yi, what kind of thoughts do you have about me?”

Who knew how Bai Yu had spent her day? Song Xu Yi had avoided her all day, smiling at a female sales assistant five times, two other female assistants three times, and two men at tonight’s event twice.
But she hadn’t smiled at Bai Yu once all day!

She wondered if Bai Yu really thought she was old, being an ancestor, and therefore did not want to get close to her.

What kind of thoughts…

Did she realize?

However, Song Xu Yi dared not meet Bai Yu’s gaze, and hung her head in shame, biting her lips tightly:

This sentence was like a whip that exposed all the pretense, laying everything bare in the air.

In the dream, Bai Yu had sensed her thoughts, and in reality, with Bai Yu’s intelligence, she probably had sensed it too.

According to her character, she would definitely distance herself from Song Xu Yi in secret, and might even return to the dark and hopeless Bai family estate…

“Song Xu Yi, are you… really…” Bai Yu’s eyes darkened as she struggled to speak, but before she could utter the words “think I’m old and unattractive,” Song Xu Yi grabbed her collar.

Perhaps it was the alcohol, but Song Xu Yi felt a fiery rage burst forth from her heart, casting aside all her anxiety, restraint, and bitterness in this moment.
After all, in real life, it was already clear that Bai Yu had sensed her intentions, so why not indulge her desires in her dreams?

“What intentions?” Song Xu Yi fixed her gaze on Bai Yu’s stunning face, gritting her teeth as she spoke: “Carry out your intentions!”

……

It seemed that Bai Yu hadn’t reacted yet, staring blankly in place.

Song Xu Yi felt more and more like this was a dream.
If it was the real Bai Yu, she would definitely push her away in disgust.

Song Xu Yi’s breath hitched, unable to bear looking at that holy and beautiful face that made her feel like she was committing a crime.
She tore at Bai Yu’s shirt collar without hesitation, “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time –“

However, Song Xu Yi overestimated her strength in the dream.
She tugged at the collar twice but couldn’t tear the dress as she had expected.
She grew angrier and angrier, thinking how her desires for Bai Yu had made everything a mess.
Clenching Bai Yu’s collar, she was almost unable to hold back her tears of frustration–

Why was she so useless?!

Then, Song Xu Yi’s hand was suddenly held, and the skirt that she couldn’t tear off just a moment ago opened up on its own…

Bai Yu lifted her chin, with a joyful smile in her eyes, but her voice sounded slightly resentful as she kissed Song Xu Yi deeply.

“This kind of thing, it’s better to let this ancestor teach you how to handle it…”
