After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Xu Musen suddenly realized.

This KFC... seemed to be the same one he had visited last time with An Nuannuan.

That day, Yao Mingyue had sprained her ankle.

"Can't you even meet this small request?"

Yao Mingyue looked at him, her words humble, but her tone carried the implication of a legitimate wife catching a cheating husband.

"If you want to eat, eat."

Xu Musen stepped forward and walked in.

The restaurant was full of children, bustling just like the last time.

Xu Musen ordered two set meals.

The two of them coincidentally sat exactly where he and An Nuannuan had eaten last time.

Only this time, the person sitting across from him was Yao Mingyue.

Yao Mingyue actually rarely ate such oily and greasy food, after all, she had to maintain her figure.

But now, Yao Mingyue took a bite of a chicken drumstick, and the aroma of the oil and the crispy texture turned out to be surprisingly tasty.

Xu Musen also took a bite of a chicken wing and said, "I remember you didn't like to eat this kind of food before."

"Yes, I used to be afraid of getting fat, lest I be called chubby by certain people and end up not getting married when I grow up."

Yao Mingyue held her delicate chin in one hand.

As a child, Yao Mingyue ate well, since Liu Rushuang had the means.

Plus, girls developed one or two years earlier than boys, so before elementary school, Yao Mingyue was the kind of girl who had a bit of baby fat and looked cute.

She had nothing to do with being fat.

But back then, Xu Musen would annoyingly pinch her face, calling her a chubby girl and saying she certainly wouldn't be able to get married.

Thinking of the past, it seemed quite reasonable for Yao Mingyue to want to get back at Xu Musen after growing up.

What goes around comes around.

Xu Musen touched his nose awkwardly, "So you're not afraid of getting fat now?"

"Because I've found that certain people just like them plump and seem to get hungrier and hungrier."

Yao Mingyue's gaze held a touch of melancholy.

Xu Musen's thoughts involuntarily drifted to An Nuannuan.

His eyes then turned to Yao Mingyue's chest.

Actually, it wasn't bad, after all, she had inherited Liu Rushuang's excellent genes; it's just that An Nuannuan was simply too outstanding.

"Xu Musen, don't tell me you judge people based on their chest size, the bigger it is, the better your mood?"

Yao Mingyue suddenly spoke.

This guy, since that day, had always been cold to her, but he had been particularly nice to An Nuannuan, and her own mother as well.

The only common point was that they both developed nicely.

Xu Musen almost spat out his Coke.

What kind of ridiculous topic was this?

"There are kids around, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm just telling the truth."

Yao Mingyue looked at him, her lips pursed slightly.

Her mind couldn't help but flash back to the words An Nuannuan had said before.

Wanting to become someone he'd like...

She held the fragrant fried chicken in her hand, but her gaze was flickering with complexity and tension.

"Xu Musen, could you fall for her?"

Xu Musen's hand holding the chicken wing paused, and he looked at Yao Mingyue.

Actually, he didn't have a clear answer to this question at the moment.

Because in their past lives, neither of them had understood what liking or loving meant.

This point, even as a reborn individual, was not something a golden finger could intervene in.

He was, after all, not a deity, capable of severing emotions at will.

In history, even emperors have lost their kingdoms for a beauty.

It has nothing to do with maturity; it's human nature.

Musen thought of Nuannuan and acknowledged he had a fondness for her. If they could end up together in the future, he felt that would be quite nice.

Yet, this emotion, once upon a time, was just as strong for Ming Yue...

Musen himself wasn't sure if he was someone who could be devoted for a lifetime.

At last, Musen laughed and shook his head, "These matters call for letting nature take its course."

This answer was not very satisfying for Ming Yue, yet it seemed to be the best one available.

She picked up her orange juice and took another sip.

"So, at least for now, she and I are still at the same starting line, right?"

Her lips curved into a smile, but she still seemed a bit unreconciled, her eyes nearly brimming with emotion.

After all, she had arrived a decade or so earlier, yet now they were at the same starting line.

For her, this was difficult to accept.

Musen looked at her.

This little tsundere was unswayable.

But continuing like this, what would the future hold?

The two of them together?

Let's not even mention that the law of the country wouldn't agree.

Would this little tsundere agree?

She'd probably really tie him up and hide him in a place where no one would know.

As Musen let his thoughts wander, he shook his head again. How could he harbor such a scoundrel's thoughts?

I am the pure love war god, after all! How could I consider such things!

"I've already told you what I wanted to say. I hope you can find the life you truly want."

Musen slowly spoke; he did not wish for Ming Yue to end up like Professor Gao, living a lonely life by herself in the latter half of her days.

Ming Yue then put her orange juice at the edge of the table and said, "Right now, I'm not asking you to be with me directly. I just hope that at least you could treat me like you do her... or at least, don't intentionally keep such a distance from me. Didn't you say you wanted to see how I change? How can you observe it if you're so far away?"

Ming Yue's voice was soft, every word and every phrase carried a bit of heartache but was also very resolute.

Musen looked at her and finally sighed softly, "I'll try my best, but my thoughts are not going to change."

"That's good enough for me."

Ming Yue smiled, seemingly regaining her confidence.

She had never feared competition because no one had ever outperformed her from her childhood onward.

One day, he would still be hers.

And considering his reaction, she didn't mind granting him a little favor...

"You've spoken pleasantly today, consider this a reward."

Her lips turned up as she extended her hand, picked up a fry, dipped it in ketchup, and leaned forward to feed it to him.

However, her arm accidentally knocked into the orange juice.

The orange juice spilled onto the floor, and quite coincidentally splashed onto the small foot that was clad in a sandal.

It was like a layer of sweet, yellow cheese spilled on a piece of pristine mutton fat jade.

"Musen..."

Ming Yue slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at Musen.

Yet her gaze held not the slightest hint of panic.

Musen silently observed the juice standing on her foot.

Why did this scene feel so familiar?
