After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Boys actually look tighter and more substantial, so they often fall prey to their girlfriends' mischievous hands.

In his previous life, whenever Yao Mingyue patted him, Xu Musen knew it was time to change his pose.

Sigh, the more one talks, the more tears are shed. It's just turning the world upside down.

Ever since getting on the bus, many eyes began to focus on them, especially on Yao Mingyue.

There were quite a few students from the same school on the bus.

"Isn't that Yao Mingyue? She's actually taking the bus, she usually gets picked up and dropped off in a BMW, doesn't she?"

"Maybe she wants to experience life."

"I don't think so. Look, isn't that Xu Musen next to her?"

"Eh? Their clothes seem to be from the same brand, and they match pretty well. Could it be that they've gotten back together?"

"Haha, definitely Xu Musen, this bootlicker, couldn't stand it anymore and actively bought clothes to apologize. Look, he keeps trying to stand next to Yao Mingyue..."

Whispers echoed inside the bus.

Xu Musen wanted to curse. Just how deeply ingrained was this bootlicker image in people's hearts?

Can't you see clearly who exactly is the one trying to rub up against someone else?

At this moment, the corners of Yao Mingyue's mouth couldn't help but curl up, a sly and proud gleam in her phoenix eyes.

She suddenly felt that taking the initiative felt surprisingly good.

Xu Musen ignored her.

But during the morning rush hour, the buses were packed with people.

Yao Mingyue's strong presence made the boys around her not dare to come close. Only the girls could squeeze over to that side.

Seeing a girl getting close to Xu Musen, she would frown and silently take up space.

This led to Ming Yue bumping into him every time the bus started or stopped.

Xu Musen couldn't complain, firstly because it was too embarrassing for a grown man to admit he was being taken advantage of.

Secondly, no one would believe him anyway!

A bootlicker like you and a cold girl would take advantage of you?

Even if caught red-handed, there would be a bunch of guys saying he didn't know how good he had it and to come touch them instead...

It's just too sad.

It was only three stops, but Xu Musen found it incredibly torturous.

Finally, they arrived.

Turning around, Xu Musen met Yao Mingyue's lips still lingering with a pleased smile.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

Yao Mingyue, looking at his expression, seemed especially satisfied and, without a word, turned and walked away.

The onlookers clicked their tongues in interest.

"Just as expected, Xu Musen couldn't help but speak to her, but Yao Mingyue completely ignored him, hahaha..."

"?"

Xu Musen burst into wry laughter.

Alright, alright, if you want to play it like that.

If I can't deal with it, can't I still avoid it?

In the classroom.

As the two entered the classroom, many students noticed that their clothes looked very similar in style and brand, just like a couple's outfit.

He Qiang couldn't help but ask, "Moriko, have you and Yao Mingyue made up? Why are your clothes..."

"Bought by the family, just a coincidence."

Xu Musen remained calm.

Everyone knew they were childhood friends, so it was normal for them to shop for clothes together.

However, obviously, for these students who were keen on gossip, it only made things look worse.

And today, Yao Mingyue did not explain anything, just let the gossip spread.

Xu Musen endured until lunchtime and went to the cafeteria to eat.

Then Yao Mingyue and her bestie came over with their trays and sat opposite him.

Both of them were silent, but the clothes that looked very much like a couple's outfit on them, as well as Yao Mingyue's occasional laughter,

was enough to make everyone start to imagine scenarios.

Even so, Yao Mingyue seemed quite skilled as she clipped a sausage from her own plate to Xu Musen's.

Before Xu Musen could react, she walked off with her best friend, plate in hand.

"..."

Feeling the fiery gaze of envy from the surrounding boys.

Xu Musen knew that this was the little tsundere's customary tactic.

She still wouldn't express any stance, yet would occasionally make some intimate gestures, leading others to subconsciously think that the two had reconciled.

It might even lead others to fantasize even more…

Xu Musen felt a bit of a headache, but he didn't care about these things anymore, as such tactics would naturally fall apart on their own once college started.

After finishing his meal, Xu Musen went straight to the back garden of the sports field.

Walking onto the secluded path, Xu Musen spotted the familiar wheelchair and the light-colored long dress beneath the dappled tree shadows.

The girl was still eating, her cheeks bulging as she chewed slowly and methodically, her gaze slightly vacant but earnest as she focused on her food.

Xu Musen didn't go over to disturb her. As a modern person, one seldom leaves their phone behind. Most people needed to watch TV, look at their phone, or have a conversation while eating as if unable to enjoy their meal otherwise.

But to see someone eating with such dedication, as if fighting with the meal, was truly rare.

Xu Musen sat down on a bench more than ten meters away from her, looking at her puffed-up, adorable cheeks and her dazed expression; she truly resembled a squirrel with its mouth stuffed with peanuts.

Extremely cute.

Xu Musen couldn't help but smile, and just as An Nuannuan swallowed her last bite, she saw Xu Musen smiling at her.

"You're smiling..."

She seemed oblivious to what a ladylike image should be, talking with her mouth still full.

Xu Musen walked over, "I didn't want to disturb you just now, seeing you enjoying your meal."

"Oh, what about you?"

"I just finished eating at the cafeteria as well."

"The cafeteria... Is the food there really that good?"

An Nuannuan seemed very curious about the student cafeteria's food.

Xu Musen looked at her. In fact, the cafeteria food could only be considered average, but it was cheaper with subsidies.

But the girl in front of him, she probably wouldn't even consider eating in the cafeteria...

Feeling pity, Xu Musen smiled and said, "Actually, it's not good at all. I still prefer the food made at home. It's just that everyone is busy at home, and it's not convenient for me to bring food."

"Oh..."

An Nuannuan nodded her head and took a sip of water from her cup.

"By the way, have you prepared the drawing we talked about yesterday?" Xu Musen asked.

"Yes, I've finished it."

Brightening at the mention of this new job, An Nuannuan took a hard paper bag out of the pocket of her wheelchair.

Opening it, inside were already three drafts — a cat, a dog, and a squirrel.

All of them in an adorable style with big eyes, very suitable for icons in a match-three type of casual game.

"How are they?" An Nuannuan pulled out a bunch of grapes from somewhere, eating while looking expectantly for an answer.

"Yes, they're good."

Xu Musen smiled and nodded. Turning to look at her, the two of them were very close, and Nuannuan seemed a bit myopic.

Leaning forward, her delicate little face appeared as if resting on Xu Musen's shoulder due to their difference in height.

When Xu Musen turned back, he met her beautiful peach-blossom eyes and her cheeks bulged with grapes.

An Nuannuan always had her hair down, usually covering her features, but at such close range, he realized she was really beautiful — on par with Yao Mingyue.

Moreover, she seemed to genuinely possess a sense of innocence about the world. Looking at her fair face so close, her pink lips glistening with grape juice seemed particularly tempting.

Xu Musen unconsciously swallowed.

With clear eyes, An Nuannuan heard Xu Musen's act of swallowing. Instead of showing shyness, she moved her pink lips and even leaned in a little closer to him.

"Would you like a taste too?"

Xu Musen was taken aback, looking at her lips so close to his…

Are girls nowadays this direct?

Then, should he take a taste?
