After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

From the beginning, he thought An Nuannuan's way of thinking was different from most people, but he didn't expect her to be adorably silly like this.

"Did she say anything?"

Xu Musen asked He Qiang, whose face seemed even darker than the day before.

"You'd better ask her yourself," He Qiang replied with an eye roll, having been teased to the point of almost wanting to cry first thing in the morning.

Xu Musen smiled, picked a grape to taste, and sure enough, it was as fragrant and sweet as could be.

He shared some with He Qiang.

Initially, He Qiang stubbornly refused to eat them, but seduced by the smell, he soon popped them into his mouth.

"Holy moly, what variety of grape is this? It's so sweet!"

Suddenly, He Qiang felt that today's bad mood was somewhat justified.

In the front row, Yao Mingyue's gaze turned to Xu Musen, continuously pondering the nature of his relationship with that girl.

And to top it all, he even dared to eat another girl's food!

Wasn't he afraid of other bad women drugging him?

The cheeky little wolf thinking he's so sly!

There was a physical education class in the morning.

Having a PE class amidst the tense atmosphere of senior year was already quite a feat.

Moreover, the school considered the physically weak and sickly PE teacher.

Each PE class typically involved two or three classes together.

In senior year's PE class, the teacher would symbolically have everyone run a warm-up lap before letting them engage in free activities.

The boys headed to the basketball court to break a sweat.

Of course, the main reason was to enjoy the feeling of being watched and praised by the girls.

The girls, meanwhile, gathered to play badminton or volleyball.

There were also many boys surrounding them with hormones raging, quietly gossiping and giving their assessments.

Yao Mingyue particularly enjoyed playing volleyball.

With her standard height of one meter seventy, a tall and well-proportioned figure, those long, snow-white legs became like enticing popsicles in the summer sun when she wore shorts.

Her long hair fastened into a neat high ponytail, and the delicate sweat on her beautiful cheeks made her look even more radiant and tempting.

Every leap and strike at the ball hit right at the heart of countless young men.

When the boys came to watch, they were not just interested in volleyball.

Xu Musen used to love watching Yao Mingyue play volleyball, often promptly bringing her a towel and warm water.

But now, he was rather listless, having spent every night staying up late coding.

PE class?

Wasn't it just for catching up on sleep?

As for watching the girls' legs and the like, Xu Musen could only say, a person accustomed to exotic delicacies would hardly get excited over such trivial benefits anymore.

Xu Musen headed to a secluded area under the trees on the sports field to lie down and nap.

A gust of the familiar scent wafted over with the breeze, and there, under a tree, sat the figure in a wheelchair, her white dress fluttering slightly.

She held a drawing board in her arms, quietly observing the bustling crowd on the field.

An Nuannuan?

A light shone in Xu Musen's eyes as he walked over.

"It's you."

An Nuannuan also looked up, her peach blossom eyes glittering at the sight of a smiling Xu Musen.

Xu Musen sat beside her, and seeing her silly expression, he said with a laugh, "Thanks for the grapes, they were sweet."

"I'm glad you liked them," An Nuannuan nodded her head, and though her tone didn't change much, he could still see a slight upward curve at the corners of her mouth.

"But you don't have to do this again, and it was also way too much."

"Didn't you say you liked them?" An Nuannuan's cheerful smile faltered a bit.

"Liking them is one thing, but it's a bit too conspicuous," Xu Musen explained, and Nuannuan seemed a bit confused, but she still nodded in agreement.

"Are you drawing?"

Xu Musen looked at the drawing board that depicted the girls playing volleyball, a few simple strokes outlining their slender legs.

"Yeah, it looks fun the way they hit the ball," An Nuannuan's gaze stayed on the volleyball-playing girls, a hint of envy in her eyes.

Xu Musen glanced at her wheelchair, momentarily unsure how to offer comfort.

An Nuannuan lowered her head to look at her own legs, "My family says that if I keep up with the training and massages every day, I'll eventually be able to stand up again."

Hearing this, Xu Musen felt somewhat relieved, "That's great if you can recover."

"But I can only massage as far as my knees, I can't even reach my calves…" An Nuannuan bent down, desperately trying to grab her calves, but a mysterious and soft resistance kept her from bending over.

Xu Musen's gaze couldn't help but follow.

This… how come he hadn't noticed before, that this girl had developed so nicely?

"Do I have short arms or what?" An Nuannuan's voice carried a hint of frustration, and she even felt a bit tight-chested.

Xu Musen silently withdrew his gaze.

You're not short on hands; you've got great ambitions.

Seeing her aggrieved expression, Xu Musen couldn't help but joke, "What should we do then? How about I give you a little massage?"

However, An Nuannuan's eyes lit up slightly, and she blinked her large eyes, "Okay."

"?"

"I mean, I want to touch your leg..."

"Come on then."

Seemingly unaware of the problem, An Nuannuan actively lifted the hem of her skirt slightly. She was wearing a pair of sandals, her cute toes soft and white.

The pale white ankles, slim calves, were just like flawless beautiful jade.

Although skinny, one could tell that the proportions of these legs were good; if she ever could stand again, she could definitely compete with Yao Mingyue.

Xu Musen's hands were indeed a bit itchy, but he was still polite.

"I think, you can ask your girl friends to do it..."

"But you're my only friend," she said.

Her voice carried a bit of resentment, "Is that not okay?"

Xu Musen was taken aback.

Indeed, it's difficult for a girl with her personality and physical condition to make friends.

Not being ostracized was already quite good.

And seeing her pitiful gaze, Xu Musen thought to himself, if not me, then who else would help her?

I'm just helping a young girl recover sooner, that's all.

What sin have I committed?

"So I'm really doing this?"

Xu Musen reached out and gently stroked her smooth calf.

It was a bit cool to the touch; despite the summer heat, it felt surprisingly pleasant, like holding an ice pop.

And her skin was really nice, so smooth that not a single flaw could be felt, soft as if it could squeeze out water.

Xu Musen felt her legs tremble slightly.

"Does that feel uncomfortable?"

Xu Musen also felt a bit embarrassed, thankfully it was just the two of them there.

Otherwise, he'd look like he was seducing an innocent girl.

"Your hands are so warm."

An Nuannuan's gaze wasn't shy; instead, she kept looking at him.

"Of course, I'm somewhat of a professional after all," he said with a smile.

Xu Musen smiled. In his past life, as a son-in-law living off his wife, aiding his CEO spouse with massages was a skill he possessed.

He gently pinched An Nuannuan's calf, skillfully locating acupoints that helped the blood flow, and soon, An Nuannuan felt her entire leg warming up.

"You've made me so warm, that's impressive," she suddenly complimented, nearly choking Xu Musen.

What kind of scandalous words were those?

But looking into her pure eyes, free of any impurity, Xu Musen's long-quiet heart suddenly quickened.

"Has anyone ever given you a massage like this before?"

"No, it was always my family who massaged me," she replied.

"Nuannuan, don't you find it odd for me to massage you?"

"Not at all, we are friends after all," she said.

Xu Musen thought about it, and while gently massaging her calf, he seriously said, "Nuannuan, if you make other friends in the future, you must not let just anyone touch your legs."

"Of course not."

"Then why do you let me..."

Xu Musen paused, wondering if he was someone special to her.

An Nuannuan blinked and said seriously, "Aunt Xiang told me that people like you actually have the desire but not the courage, harboring no ill intentions and are easily deceived by girls."

"???"

Xu Musen's face darkened. What was that supposed to mean?

He felt as though his deepest secrets had been laid bare.

Moreover, he was unable to refute it because he had indeed been played like a fiddle by Yao Mingyue in his previous life.

He coughed to regain some dignity.

"Anyway... there are a lot of bad people nowadays, some just want to take advantage of you, liking to deceive girls like you. I'm looking out for you, you know?" Xu Musen held her fair calf as he spoke earnestly.

"Oh..."

As if contemplating, An Nuannuan nodded thoughtfully. She looked at Xu Musen, who was intently massaging her, and suddenly spoke up.

"Then, when I make friends in the future, should I come and ask you first?"

"Mhm, good idea!"

Xu Musen agreed instantly, perhaps without even realizing it himself.

Having shared a bed with Yao Mingyue for so long, their personalities had subconsciously influenced each other.

In his heart, a sneaky sense of possessiveness had begun to surface.

As for friends, one was enough for him~
