After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

An Nuannuan wobbled her sore legs: "Have you and she climbed this mountain before?"

Xu Musen looked at her and nodded: "Yeah."

"Did she climb up by herself?"

"Sort of."

Xu Musen recalled that he basically carried her for the latter half of the journey.

"If she can, I certainly can too. We Chuanshu girls know how to climb mountains from birth; I'm not afraid at all."

An Nuannuan's big eyes showed a bit of defiance, and with the cutest tone, she said with a "if he can conquer, so can I" pride.

Still secretly competing.

Xu Musen laughed and reached out, placing her legs on his lap.

"What are you doing?"

"Let me give you a massage and stretch them out, otherwise, you won't be able to walk normally for the next two or three days."

As Xu Musen kneaded her calves, the warm and powerful sensation felt like an electric current, making An Nuannuan feel a comforting tingle, as if the closed-off capillaries in her legs were being unblocked, warmly flowing.

"Does it feel better?"

"Mm... what are you doing?"

An Nuannuan was nodding but then noticed Xu Musen starting to untie her shoelaces.

"Gonna massage your feet too; if you don't promote circulation, they'll hurt tomorrow."

Saying so, Xu Musen was already prepared to take off her shoes.

"No..." An Nuannuan wanted to pull her legs back, her face turning a little red.

"Why? Feeling shy now?" Xu Musen asked with a smile.

When they were just "good friends," it was no issue to massage her feet anytime.

"It's not that... after climbing for so long, I haven't washed my feet yet..."

An Nuannuan blushed and shook her head. Of course, a girl would care. After hours of climbing, her shoes were sure to be stuffy, inevitably having a bit of a smell.

"No worries, I like it raw and original. Let hubby take a look!"

Xu Musen cheekily slipped off her shoes.

"Don't..."

An Nuannuan knew he was quite a perv, but at this moment, her legs felt limp. When her shoes were removed, her small feet in white cotton socks were exposed, curling up like a kitten's soft paws in the mountain breeze.

However, An Nuannuan wasn't the type to sweat easily. Sitting in a wheelchair for years, her metabolism wasn't as high as a normal person's, so even after the long climb, her socks remained dry and soft, with no smell other than the light floral scent of laundry detergent.

"It's cold..." An Nuannuan murmured, as it was still chilly in the mountains.

Xu Musen grasped her foot, unzipping his down jacket, and tucked it directly into his embrace.

"Warm now, right?"

Xu Musen gently kneaded her small foot in his embrace.

The warmth radiating from him made An Nuannuan feel as if she were basking in the summer heat, but more so, it was this affectionate indulgence without disdain that she cherished deeply.

"Mm..."

An Nuannuan nodded, looking at Xu Musen's gentle smile, her cheeks suddenly blushing shyly.

How strange, when they were "good friends" before, she was never this shy.

But now, even after being engaged, she was just starting to feel bashful.

Perhaps it's peace of mind.

Before the engagement, she always worried about the future.

Only after the engagement did she begin to experience this complete, unconditional love at her own pace.

Occasionally, people waiting to watch the sunrise passed by, watching the young couple and couldn't help but tease about how sweet they were.

"Look at them, so considerate of his girlfriend, massaging her legs and warming her feet."

"Sister, I told you not to wear boots for hiking; if your feet smell, it'll knock me out from oxygen deprivation."

"Ha! You complain now; why didn't you say anything when you were chasing me?"

"Of course, who keeps baiting the fish after catching it?"

"You jerk, I'll beat you to death!!"

The world never lacks playful, bickering couples, and onlookers laughed along.

Laughter and cheer melted away the weariness of the journey.

Watching Xu Musen massage her feet, An Nuannuan thought back to when she was in a wheelchair, and he still loved massaging her feet.

"Xu Musen."

"Yes."

"You really have a foot fetish, huh?"

"???"

Xu Musen coughed, thankfully no one was around: "Don't say that, I'm just being considerate, you know?"

An Nuannuan held her cheeks: "Will you ever get tired of me?"

"Of course not, every part of my wife is my greatest treasure."

Xu Musen never hesitated with sweet words.

An Nuannuan smiled with curved eyes, suddenly asking: "Did you say the same when you massaged her feet?"

Xu Musen paused; why did this sound so familiar?

He looked up at An Nuannuan's smiling eyes and coughed lightly: "Well, it's different between you two."

"So..." An Nuannuan held her cheeks, thinking seriously for a moment.

"If she and I were climbing together, would you massage my feet or hers?"

"???"

Xu Musen was dumbfounded. This question sounded even more familiar, and he laughed wryly: "Isn't this usually about who I'd save if you both fell into the water?"

"True, yes." An Nuannuan nodded, her clear eyes fixated on him: "So, who would you save first?"

"..."

Xu Musen smacked his lips, realizing he'd dug himself a hole: "Let's stick to the foot massage topic."

Looking at An Nuannuan's serious expression.

Xu Musen pondered for a moment and said: "I think your question is flawed. You shouldn't be asking who I'd massage first. As my wife, you should be figuring out how to swiftly get your little feet into my hands!"
