This is, what's going on? What exactly is he saying?

Bai Jie was also dumbfounded.

Ye Ming's face seemed to crack, her expression vanished, her lips twisted and trembled, looking like an ugly wound.

"Pain!!!"

Bai Jie's scream brought her back to her senses. She seemed to unconsciously grab his right hand, nearly crushing his wrist because she used too much force.

"Can, can you let go?"

Bai Jie asked with a bitter face.

"No, I'm sorry."

She noticed the fear in his eyes.

"It's okay... Can you let go?"

Ye Ming released his hand while touching her own face. She seemed to have become very scary, like a monster.

She quickly shook her head, suppressing the violently pounding in her chest.

"You, why, would you say such things—"

Tears suddenly welled up in the girl's eyes.

She knew what he said and what he wanted to convey. She thought about it and finally understood the meaning of that answer.

She couldn't escape even if she wanted to. It was such an obvious fact.

He rejected her.

—I seem to have been dumped.

Tears naturally overflowed, but they hung on the corners of her eyes, not falling, as if her emotions hadn't caught up yet.

Ye Ming's mind was almost paralyzed. She couldn't help but feel happy that she could express her emotions, and she wasn't able to accept his rejection yet.

"Wait a moment."

Bai Jie checked the condition of his right hand while quickly explaining.

"I said, 'not now,' I didn't say it's impossible later."

He said in a deep voice, "Ye Ming, I really can't make this decision right now. Can you give me time? Seven years later... Seven years later, if your feelings haven't changed, I should be fine with it."

"..."

The girl was silent.

She began to ponder.

"Seven years... Why seven years?"

"Th-There are some reasons for it."

Bai Jie could only explain somewhat awkwardly.

"I know it's a bit much to say this, but I think things will be different in seven years..."

He could only explain in a dry voice.

Really, he didn't know how to explain it either.

Was he just stringing her along?

Bai Jie wasn't sure what he was thinking. He didn't dislike her, but out of "concern" for the future main storyline, he couldn't directly accept her either.

The changes brought about by change were too numerous. He really didn't want the current situation to become even worse.

Love was an unattainable thing for him. He didn't even know if the world would be destroyed in seven years, whether he would be able to save the world successfully—was this pale promise really meaningful?

Maybe he would die tomorrow.

Or Ye Ming wouldn't be able to save the world, and everything would be destroyed after the Netherworld Vortex erupted.

Bai Jie recalled the protagonists in the movies and anime he had watched before, who often had the leisure to talk about love at the moment when the world was on the verge of destruction and chaos reigned—he thought this kind of plot was just stupid.

Honestly, just surviving in this world was already taking all his effort, and talking about this now was already a burden to him.

He couldn't make any decisions—

"Then, did my confession fail or succeed?"

Ye Ming asked another fatal question.

"Well..."

However, this would lead to another problem: how would he explain why he knew this information?

This world itself has extraordinary powers, and there are also people with divination and prophetic powers. Even they are unaware of the secret of the world's destruction and the eruption of the Netherworld Vortex. Why would the weak self know?

This matter could not be explained clearly, nor could it be believed.

'Even if I attribute it to the Snow Woman and Mahora, it would not be easy to explain... And the secret of me being a player cannot be revealed either.'

Bai Jie shook his head and answered an ambiguous answer that he himself found ambiguous.

"I don't know."

"Is that so?"

Ye Ming blinked. She wasn't angry, just nodded and said, "I understand. Then let's do as you said."

"Ah?"

Bai Jie was a little stunned to hear that.

Th-This can pass?

He thought Ye Ming would be furious, or throw a tantrum and cry.

However, she just sighed and smiled.

"Seven years? Then let's do that."

"Is, is that possible?"

Bai Jie turned around and tried to persuade her.

"You don't have to accommodate me. Honestly, I'm disappointed in myself for only being able to use this method to perfunctorily answer your sincere confession..."

"I know you may have unspeakable secrets, or things you must hide."

Ye Ming smiled faintly, as if she had seen through him, "If you don't want to explain, I won't ask. This time, I'll just pretend I've been dumped by you."

Bai Jie was silent again.

Ye Ming's smile also faded.

She lost her strength, lowered her head, her shoulders trembled slightly, and tears appeared in her eyes—

"However, I haven't given up."

She uttered the words with an injured expression, her cheeks full of unstoppable tears.

"It's nothing to be rejected once. I won't give up next time either. I'll confess to you again, or a third or fourth time, until you agree—"

"Wait a moment, didn't we agree on seven years?"

Ye Ming's aura also became aggressive. She admitted that she had been dumped, but refused to give up on Bai Jie.

"That's your business, I don't care. Even during these seven years, I will keep confessing to you until you agree to be with me!"

"Isn't that too unreasonable?"

"I want to confess again, Bai Jie, please date me with the intention of getting married!"

"No, I already said I'll consider it after that."

"Do you really hate me? Or do you think I'm not qualified to be your wife?"

"I don't hate you, Ye Ming, but I myself don't know how I feel about you. In this situation, I can't just agree to you... I, I need time, please give me time."

Baekai's face was also very unsightly.

Yamei quietly looked at him, grabbed him with tearful eyes, and hugged him.

"But, I don't want to, and can't give up."

She clung to Baekai's chest.

"I'm sorry, I know I'm very selfish, but this time, I've exhausted all my courage—"

"Yeah, I know."

Baekai didn't move, he just reached out and hugged her trembling shoulders.

"Thank you for letting me rest for a while, I need to calm down."

Yamei said so, and Baekai could only stay with her.

After a while, she wiped away her tears and showed a smile.

"Okay, I feel better."

“Really?"

"I'm very sure what you're thinking, so I decided to forgive you."

Yamei's eyes seemed to sparkle.

"Also, I don't plan to give up my idea... After that, I will keep confessing to you, releasing my love to you, until you can't resist it, and you are defeated by my love, my temptation, and even give up the so-called seven-year idea, then you will become my person."

Baekai could only smile wryly.

"How can you be so unreasonable."

"You were the one who was unreasonable first."

Yamei pushed him away, humming softly: "Seven years is just a trick to deceive children... My confession is not so easy to refuse, I will continue to try to impress you until you completely surrender."

Ugh…

Baekai was hit where it hurt.

Yes, he had used this trick to fool Yeya before.

However, the same trick obviously doesn't work here with Yamei.

"This has nothing to do with winning or losing, right?"

He could only find an excuse.

"Hehe."

Yamei was no longer crying, but instead showed a smug smile.

The girl was able to face her heart frankly.

"Love is war, I will definitely win... Baekai, just wait to be fascinated by me?"

"Okay."

Baekai didn't know what he could say, but fortunately the girl should have cheered up again, which was enough for now.

At the same time that Yamei and Baekai were talking, there were people secretly eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

"This guy!"

Gehua finally realized Yue Jialuo Yamei's difficulty, she put on the most fierce look she has ever had, and watched this scene through the crystal ball.

"…This is troublesome."

Baekai would reject her head-on, which was completely within Gehua's expectations, and this was a situation she could have predicted long ago.

Gehua originally thought that this confession would completely sink Yue Jialuo Yamei.

However, the situation turned into a direction of development that she had never expected—

"Even at this point, she still doesn't plan to give up?"

Gehua bit her thumb.

She suddenly realized one thing, that Yue Jialuo Yamei might be an even more difficult "rival in love" than the Yinshi girl.

'Then, Mother, should we get rid of this woman?'

"No."

Gehua heard her daughter's voice, she shook her head and said coldly: "Not yet, she is difficult, but not dangerous, and I need to use Yue Jialuo Yamei's power to restrain that woman."

'Understood.'

The daughter responded obediently. At this time, this little girl, invisible to ordinary people, was floating in the high sky, overlooking the bottom. She could activate the constant "Clairvoyance" spell and observe her target from a distance—in her clear eyes, like a mirror, she could see Baekai and Yamei embracing each other.

'As expected... I can't let this woman go.'

"What to do! ?"

Hiiragi Hiruko, who released the Shikigami and used animals to eavesdrop, covered her mouth.

'The relationship between those two people seems to be getting closer...'

A trace of anxiety flashed in the witch's heart.

For Hiiragi Hiruko, who only understood the so-called love between men and women from reading stories, she had no idea how to deal with this situation.

However, she had a strong premonition that if she didn't do anything, the relationship between Baekai and Yamei would become further and further away from her.

'I will become an outsider, a marginal person... I can't even get close to him.'

Hiiragi Hiruko couldn't accept this idea. Her heart ached and was sad, and she even had a feeling that she couldn't sort out her thoughts or calm down. She just wanted to be with him with the usual smile.

However, the girl shook her head, suppressing this impulse. This won't work!

I can't win.

The two sides are simply in different dimensions.

If I don't seriously consider it and find a countermeasure, I will never be able to win against the current Yue Jialuo Yamei.

Hiiragi Hiruko recalled—

The moment she confessed, Hiiragi Hiruko could feel a golden aura emerging from her whole body. She sparkled and her whole figure shone brightly.

How can I compete with her?

I simply can't be so persistent after being rejected... Hiiragi Hiruko couldn't even imagine how huge of a blow she would suffer if Baekai said words of rejection to her.

"Ugh…"

She bit her lip tightly, falling into a state of immobility like a Jizo Bodhisattva.

In the end, Hiiragi Hiruko could only helplessly take out the Shikigami that Fumi had given her, intending to ask this Daiguji for help.

At the same time.

"What's going on?"

Renjo Senjuro was also extremely troubled, he didn't expect the situation to be so complicated.

"This little girl from the Yue Jialuo family is also involved, and the signboard girl Yeya from the Chamber of Commerce is also involved... What's so good about this kid?"

The merchant sighed, cutting off the connection with the bee-shaped Shikigami used for eavesdropping. He also suspected that the second young lady from the Kurohimeyama family was also unusually obsessed with this servant.

If you count her in, then this young man, Baekai, is not walking in a path of romantic luck, but an out-and-out face of female disaster.

"Hiruko-san, the man you like is really a vortex that gathers all kinds of troubles…"
