After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Chapter 113: Chapter 94: The True Damage of the Silly Cutie!

"Hahaha! You finally got what you deserved, strutting around like the perfect girlfriend, now with a green hat stuffed right in your face!"

Lin Daiyu watched the scene unfold, feeling an immense sense of satisfaction inside, even though she herself was also a loser in love.

But seeing you not having it any easier made her feel much more comfortable.

Zhao Lianmai shook her head as she watched Lin Daiyu alternate between smugness and dejection.

Love really does make people lose their intelligence terribly.

With all this time, it would be better to earn more money.

At this moment, Yao Mingyue watched as An Nuannuan deftly picked food from Xu Musen's plate.

As if they had done it many times before, Xu Musen didn't make any moves to stop her, as though he was already used to it.

This tacit understanding drove Yao Mingyue even crazier!

She almost twisted her stainless steel plate into a deformity, her eyes fixed on An Nuannuan's innocent-looking face.

Yet she couldn't help feeling that this girl was not as simple as she appeared!

"How can you, as a girl, have the audacity to pick food from a guy's plate? Didn't your family teach you about not getting too familiar with the opposite sex?"

Yao Mingyue said it through clenched teeth, her tone dripping with disdain.

"We're friends,"

replied An Nuannuan seriously, chewing on a sausage she'd snagged from Xu Musen.

"Friends? So that makes it okay to be so casual? Have you no shame?"

Yao Mingyue glared at her, her eyebrows furrowed.

An Nuannuan then took another bite of her sausage, as if to say, what's shame? Is it tastier than a sausage?

Xu Musen chose that moment to break the tension.

"Yao Mingyue, can you stop making a scene?"

"How am I making a scene? Isn't what I said the truth?"

Yao Mingyue turned around, her fists clenched tightly: "Why should she, a so-called friend, a newcomer, be able to take what should have been mine?"

Hearing her words, Xu Musen felt a sinking feeling in his heart: "I don't belong to anyone, and I've told you, we no longer have any relationship."

Yao Mingyue moved closer to him, so close she could smell the fragrance on her body, her beautiful face now marred by an unhealthy possessiveness.

"What you say doesn't matter to me. I want you! I've told you before, I'd give you my answer once we both got to university."

Now Yao Mingyue was even closer, her gaze locked on him, "I'm telling you now, I agree to be with you!"

Xu Musen looked at the face that was so close, which had once moved his heart more than once.

The debt he owed her, he had repaid in his last life.

Talking about it now was pointless.

"Please get this straight, it's me who doesn't want to."

Xu Musen stepped back slightly, his expression calm.

Though saying this did feel a bit pretentious.

After all, whether it's her looks, figure, or temperament, Yao Mingyue is a campus belle that thousands are enamored with.

Any guy would boast to his friends just about having a few words with her or adding her as a friend.

Not to mention having her throwing herself at you like today.

"Why wouldn't you want to?"

"Because I don't like you now, it's as simple as that."

Xu Musen's indifferent words made Yao Mingyue's heart sour and irritated even more.

"You don't like me? Then who do you like? Her?"

Yao Mingyue extended her finger, pointing at An Nuannuan, who was busy eating her sausage.

An Nuannuan's way of eating was definitely not delicate among girls; her cute little mouth was slightly oily, scarfing down food at an alarming rate, as if missing a second would lead to starvation.

With that sentence, Yao Mingyue pushed Xu Musen to the edge of a precipice with a decision to make.

You say she's just a friend, right?

What pure friendship is there between men and women?

It's just fear of puncturing that thin film of pretense.

As long as it remains intact, they can continue nurturing feelings under the guise of friendship, all the while avoiding many unnecessary rivals.

This tactic—Yao Mingyue, I am the master!

Now she just wanted to puncture that film and end their ambiguity for good!

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned towards them.

Everyone was a bit silent.

Although An Nuannuan might seem a bit foolish, she's undeniably beautiful, and sometimes her sporadic words hit right on the mark.

She might be naive, but she's definitely not stupid!

As for Yao Mingyue, there's no need to say more. She doesn't lose to anyone in looks, and more importantly, what man could stand against such a forceful and proactive approach?

This choice between two?

They wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Xu Musen frowned. He looked at Yao Mingyue and An Nuannuan.

Of course, he had a bit of a crush on An Nuannuan, but for now, the pace of their relationship was just right.

After all, if they really became a couple, things might start to go sour.

Some aspects would shift from mutual warmth to a responsibility.

Xu Musen felt he wasn't ready for a relationship yet.

Plus, he couldn't use her as a shield.

And more to the point, An Nuannuan, this little girl, probably had no idea what dating really was.

What if he scared her off completely? How would he then coax her slowly?

Lin Daiyu, the top spectator at the next table, also had a flicker in her eyes.

"Xiao Mai, if all three of them fall apart, maybe..."

"What happened to the 'concrete heart' you were set on?"

Zhao Lianmai looked at her somewhat speechlessly.

"Woo, that was my mistake, sister, but can this girl really withstand it..." All Lin Daiyu could do was shake her head and sigh.

Although she hated to admit it, Yao Mingyue's aura was indeed formidable.

If it were her in this situation, she probably wouldn't know how to react.

Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong looked at the unfolding scene, their hearts filled with a mix of envy, jealousy, and irritation.

Will it turn into a fight?

Just at that moment,

An Nuannuan, who had been burying her head in her meal, finally lifted her head.

Her clear eyes twinkled, seemingly oblivious to the tension that was thick in the air around them.

Confronted by Yao Mingyue's oppressive aura, any other girl might have been scared off.

But An Nuannuan looked straight into Yao Mingyue's eyes and seriously said, "If it's about liking someone, then it's also me liking Xu Musen."

"..."

What the fuck??!

Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong both exclaimed a big "What the hell!"

Is this really turning into a contest of snatching each other's love interests?

Lin Daiyu was also stunned; she didn't expect this seemingly naive and a bit socially anxious girl to actually blurt out these words.

She even began to reflect on herself, wondering if she'd been too reserved at the beginning. Shouldn't she have pretended to suffer from heatstroke and throw herself into his arms on the first day of military training?

At that moment, Xu Musen almost dropped his chopsticks to the floor, looking at the silly young girl in front of him.

Did she know what she was saying?

Yao Mingyue's pupils shrank to slits, like a wild cat's, as she stared intently at An Nuannuan.

"What did you say? Liking? Do you even know what 'liking' means?"

Her emotions were a bit out of control, and each word seemed to be squeezed out between her teeth.

An Nuannuan blinked, and then, holding out her clean little fingers, she counted out, "Of course I know. I like that Xu Musen takes me out for food, I like that he rubs my legs for me, I also like that he carries me home when I'm alone, I like that he doesn't find me bothersome and is willing to be friends with me..."

She explained item by item, not the bold confession people expected, but a different kind of clarification.

Yet the sincerity in her words made people suddenly realize.

Yeah, 'liking' doesn't necessarily have to represent love.

It can signify something much broader.

Yao Mingyue's emotions were also shaken at that moment. She pursed her lips and continued, "What I'm talking about is different from yours. What I mean by 'liking' is the kind where you want to get married and be together in the future, do you understand that?"

"Enough, Nuannuan, you don't need to pay attention to her,"

Xu Musen put down his chopsticks, stood up, and was ready to take An Nuannuan away.

But An Nuannuan kept her gaze on Yao Mingyue.

"Then why did you reject his flowers before?"

This one sentence referred to a past that only the three of them knew about.

Yao Mingyue trembled, biting her lip: "I didn't mean to reject him..."

"But when he left with the flowers, to throw them away all by himself several times, it looked really pitiful,"

continued An Nuannuan, her tender lips moving, "When he takes me out to eat, I always eat a lot, a lot because I don't want to waste his kindness, but you didn't even know how to appreciate it."

Yao Mingyue seemed to have been stabbed in the heart by these words, her voice trembled, "What do you know... I will make it up to him, as long as he's with me, I will always be good to him!"

"I don't think that's right,"

shook her head An Nuannuan, "If Xu Musen takes me out to eat, I'll be very happy, but if he doesn't, I won't blame him because he doesn't owe me anything. I would first ask him why he doesn't want to eat, and if possible, I would even take him to eat.

Because he's nice to me, I want to be nice to him. That's why we are good friends.

It's not about being nice to him because of the status of being friends; otherwise, what's the point of any status, no matter how impressive it is?"

An Nuannuan's words were gentle, almost childishly naive, but when they fell on Xu Musen's heart, a warmth flowed through.

Yes, it was just that simple.

It reminded them of a song.

Not because I'm lonely do I think of you, but because I think of you, I feel lonely...

Many people get this order wrong, always feeling that they need an official status to be at ease.

But in today's society, even a marriage certificate can't guarantee anything.

The law is just the lowest standard of morality.

What truly determines two people's relationship is the two individuals themselves.

Yao Mingyue's body trembled, she had heard these words from both Xu Musen and her mother.

But this time, they pierced her heart like a sharp knife.

The people around were all dumbfounded, never expecting such profound words from this seemingly dazed and cute girl.

Xu Musen silently watched Yao Mingyue, who was trembling with emotion.

Without a word, he pushed An Nuannuan ahead and left first.

...

In the canteen.

The surrounding onlookers also quietly dispersed.

Only Yao Mingyue remained seated at the table, silent, her whole body seemingly shrouded in chilliness, to the point where no one dared approach her.

"That girl… probably isn't foolish at all; she's really lost out this time," Lin Daiyu couldn't help but click her tongue twice and left with Zhao Lianmai.

Yao Mingyue sat alone at the table for a while.

Two boys came over and sat down in front of her.

One of them was the boy who had just invited her to have lunch together.

"Ming Yue, eating alone? The cafeteria has released a mung bean ice shake that's really refreshing. Why don't you try it?"

Chen Guangnian, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, considerately placed a serving of mung bean ice shake in front of Yao Mingyue.

Yao Mingyue's gaze was fixed tightly on the bowl of mung bean ice shake in front of her, that greenish layer covering the top.

It instantly ignited a rage in Yao Mingyue!

"Go to hell!"

She furiously grabbed the ice shake, slammed it onto the table, as if desperately wanting to break away from the invisible green hat on her head!

Chen Guangnian was splashed with the ice shake all over his face.

It was cold to the bone.

Yao Mingyue's mood finally found an outlet and gradually calmed down a lot.

She quietly watched the direction Xu Musen had left.

He took out a bill from his wallet and tossed it at Chen Guangnian in front of him.

"Keep the change," she said indifferently, and then turned around to leave.

Chen Guangnian looked at the red bill that landed in front of him, only feeling a burning sensation on his face.

He had come to hit on a girl, not to be a waiter!
