After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Chapter 35: Chapter 35 The Broken Wheelchair (Seeking to catch up on reading, 3k words!)

Time flew by.

In recent days, Yao Mingyue had been behaving very properly.

The most she would do was use her prideful assets to inadvertently take advantage of Xu Musen during the bus ride every day.

It made Xu Musen feel quite tormented.

And these few days, his mom noticed that there were noticeably more people buying flowers in the shop.

They all said they saw the ad for this shop in the little game they were playing.

Most of Xu Musen's game users were from Zheng City, and local traffic was the most direct.

Especially since many said the model in the video was very pretty, many actually came to see if the shop had such a good-looking employee.

Of course, this "model" was none other than Yao Mingyue, who had accidentally entered the frame that day.

It must be said that Yao Mingyue's face was really beautiful, and with her holding the flowers, she made the eighty-point flowers bloom with a hundred points of beauty.

These past few days, the income of the shop had increased manyfold, with mom beaming every day. The neighboring shops couldn't help but come over to ask.

Usually, they all had similar customer traffic, but your shop suddenly became so popular, there must be a reason.

Then, mom would use the script prepared by Xu Musen to tell them that the advertising was done in the little game.

Several shops are already planning to give it a try.

Everything was within Xu Musen's expectations. He reckoned he'd be busy during the holiday after the college entrance exams were over.

In school, Xu Musen would spend every lunchtime chatting with An Nuannuan and sometimes massaging her legs.

But every time his hand moved a little lower, An Nuannuan would tilt her little head and look at him.

It seemed that if Xu Musen touched her little foot, he would immediately confirm his identity as a foot fetish pervert.

Xu Musen thought of it as slander! She's slandering me!

Moreover, the last mock exam before the college entrance exams had also been released.

Xu Musen and He Qiang went to have a look.

"Holy shit! Xu Musen, did you cheat? Top five in the grade!?"

He Qiang couldn't believe it as he saw Xu Musen's name appear in the first column on the score list.

Although Xu Musen had always had a good foundation, he was at best usually around the top thirty in his grade.

"You wouldn't understand the world of the strong, Qiang Zi. Remember the bet we made before? If I got into the top ten of our grade, you'd do a handstand deer..."

He Qiang quickly interrupted him, his face turning red, "I was just kidding, hey... look, this time Yao Mingyue isn't the eternal second place, second place is... An Nuannuan?!"

Xu Musen was also stunned for a moment, as he hadn't paid attention to this name before and only remembered that Yao Mingyue was always second in their grade.

But this time, Yao Mingyue was first, and the second place was the silly An Nuannuan.

"I didn't expect it. She's actually a top student. You've really lucked out this time," He Qiang said to Xu Musen with a wink and a nudge.

Xu Musen was also surprised, that normally silly and adorable girl was actually so good at studying.

Could it really be that she looks silly but is actually as smart as they come?

"Hey, by the way, An Nuannuan isn't bad either. She can match Yao Mingyue in terms of looks. If she can stand in the future, she'll definitely be in high demand. Are you sure you don't want to take this opportunity to coax her into being your girlfriend?"

"We are just ordinary friends."

"Cut it out, ordinary friends let you get handsy every single day? Or is it that you can't let go of Yao Mingyue?"

As he spoke, He Qiang said, "These days people are rumoring that Yao Mingyue's foot injury is related to you. I heard that many boys are considering you as a rival again."

Xu Musen found it all absurd, but high school boys were indeed like that.

Every year, quite a few boys would fight over girls.

Silly and immature.

Xu Musen couldn't be bothered to listen to these rumors; wasn't it nicer to earn some extra money?

There was less than a month left till the college entrance exams.

The last few days before the exams were generally spent at home adjusting one's state of mind and checking out the examination venues.

In school, it was the final two or three weeks.

The last physical education class.

Yao Mingyue's foot was almost healed, but she definitely couldn't play sports like volleyball.

On the sports field, many students were sitting together, already discussing the impending college entrance exams and the wonderful life in university to come.

"I heard that in university the teachers won't care if you date or not. I'm definitely going to find someone!"

"Come on, is it the teacher's fault that you can't find someone? Take a look in the mirror when you have time."

"But university is so free, you can come and go as you please and skip classes if you don't want to attend..."

"Since we're about to have college entrance exams, isn't there anything you've always wanted to do but haven't done yet?"

"I confessed to Zhang Qing from Class Three yesterday, only to find out she's had a boyfriend for a long time. Boohoo."

"Actually, I've always wanted to beat up the dean of discipline..."

…

The students sat together lamenting the fast-approaching end of their high school days.

Xu Musen and An Nuannuan were basking in the sun.

Nuannuan watched them sitting on the grass of the school field, feeling a desire to experience it for herself.

Since starting school, Nuannuan had never left her wheelchair; she envied the ease with which others could sit and move about on the lawn.

Musen looked at her wheelchair but to help her down meant he had to lift her out.

"So, I'll carry you down?"

"Mhm."

Nuannuan always trusted him, even proactively reaching out her arms.

Without being pretentious, Musen slowly bent down, sliding one hand under her soft thighs to hold her, while his other arm encircled her waist.

Their cheeks were almost touching, Nuannuan carrying a subtle scent of milk, fresh and incredibly comforting.

And perhaps due to a lack of exercise, her body felt exceptionally soft, almost as if it lacked bones.

Musen's heart, long sealed away in concrete, started to beat a bit faster.

Turning his head, he saw Nuannuan's pink lips close by, glinting in the sunlight.

Musen took a deep breath.

Nuannuan treated him as a good friend, so unguarded; how could he let his mind wander?

He gently placed her on the grass and quickly let go once she was steady.

He didn't notice Nuannuan's glossy, dazed gaze and the blush spreading across her pale cheeks.

"How does it feel?"

Musen asked her with a smile.

"My legs feel kind of itchy," Nuannuan said, rubbing the artificial turf which was a little prickly to the touch, but that was exactly the kind of stimulation her legs needed.

It gave her the feeling that she could also run across the ground.

"By the way, I saw your test scores, why did you come in second place?"

"I lost points on my essay."

"What did you write?" Musen was curious.

Nuannuan blinked, "It was an English essay, asking me to write a letter to my friend Li Hua in America."

"And then?"

"Well... I accidentally wrote your name instead of Li Hua's."

"..."

Musen was stunned for a moment before he burst into laughter, rolling on the ground several times.

How could this silly girl be so adorably naive?

Nuannuan pouted, feeling a little wronged, as she watched him...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the field, Mingyue couldn't play volleyball, so she was gently massaging her ankle.

At that moment, Lv Hong came over with water and something like a heat pack, attentively saying, "Mingyue... classmate, I heard you hurt your foot, so I brought you something to warm it."

Mingyue ignored him; she had grown tired of his constant presence over the past few days.

Feeling awkward, Lv Hong had to ask another girl to pass it to her.

Mingyue took a drink from her water and her irritated gaze suddenly fell on the other side of the field.

Musen and Nuannuan were there, chatting and laughing together.

Despite telling herself repeatedly to stay calm, Mingyue couldn't suppress the annoyance welling up inside.

While she could restrain herself in front of Musen, right now her irritation made her toss away the water in her hand, nearly spilling it on Lv Hong.

Without a second glance back, she left.

Lv Hong also looked where Musen was and seemed to blame him for the humiliation he felt.

...

Before noon, during the last class, the headteacher announced a trip to the broadcasting studio for an assembly to sum up the test results, as college entrance exams were approaching.

The seats in the studio were stepped, definitely not wheelchair accessible.

Nuannuan's homeroom teacher, a middle-aged woman, personally helped her to a seat and left the wheelchair at the corner near the backstage door.

Musen, from the other side, was relieved to see the teachers cared for Nuannuan.

He felt a piercing gaze upon him.

Indeed, Mingyue was in the row opposite, silently watching him.

Musen turned away, waiting for the meeting to start.

Mingyue bit her lip; the rage in her heart grew, but she kept pushing it down.

The assembly actually wasn't very interesting, just praising good students and motivating the rest.

Many students quietly slipped out to get food in the dining hall.

As the meeting ended and the students stood to leave, a commotion arose among the first to exit.

"Whose wheelchair is that, thrown downstairs?"

Upon hearing 'wheelchair,' Musen immediately pushed through the crowd.

Sure enough, the wheelchair that had been behind the door was now tossed downstairs, one of its wheel supports broken.

Musen's brows furrowed, and for a moment his eyes met Mingyue's in the crowd.
