After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"Sounds a bit scary..."

Xu Musen thought about it seriously, then smiled: "But since we're seeking thrills, let's go all the way!"

"???"

Yao Mingyue looked at him, hesitant to speak.

You're so crazy...

Finally, she couldn't help but chuckle. This bad guy is always so out of control.

But she just loves his unruliness~

...

Except for the hospital.

"Any place you want to go?"

Xu Musen asked her.

"I don't know, we're like mother and child alone in a foreign land, afraid to wander..."

Yao Mingyue shook her head. Actually, she's been in this country for a month, and she hasn't really gone out much.

After all, this is a country where you can legally carry truth, and there are some immigration issues. Overall, security is certainly not as good as back home.

But outside the hospital is a villa community of American characteristics. This area belongs to the wealthy, so security is still very good. Most of the chaos in America is at the lower levels. In the wealthy areas, they are significant taxpayers, and they are truly protected.

The villa where Xu Musen lives is next door; at least there are no safety issues.

"Actually..." Yao Mingyue gently wrapped her arm around Xu Musen's, lifting her bright eyes to look at him.

"It doesn't matter where we go. What's important is being with you. Even if it's just sitting together in silence, I like it."

Xu Musen was slightly entranced, then smiled: "It's not easy for you to say this."

"Was I so hard to talk to before?"

"Weren't you?"

"No, no, just no!"

Yao Mingyue twisted the tender flesh at his waist, only letting go when she saw his pleading expression. She looked at the foreign scenery, slightly entranced: "Maybe it's like they say, towards the end, people speak kindly. I'm afraid in the future, I'll never have the chance to say such things to you again."

"Nonsense!" Xu Musen tapped her lightly: "Don't say such things again in the future, okay?"

Looking at Xu Musen's fierce eyes, Yao Mingyue chuckled, hugging his arm and swaying: "Alright, alright, I know, fierce one. Be careful or Nuannuan will leave you in the future."

Xu Musen was slightly stunned; at that moment, the Yao Mingyue hugging his arm and gently swaying seemed a bit silly, just like... the little tag-along who used to follow him and call him brother when they were kids.

Xu Musen gently pinched her cheek, looking at the absolutely beautiful face engraved in his bones, yet never getting enough.

Yes, as long as you're with someone you love, even staying in silence is joyful.

Xu Musen took out a wooden plate from his pocket and handed it to her.

"What is it?"

Yao Mingyue took it, and the handwriting on the wooden plate had been eroded by the elements to the point of illegibility, but its familiar characters still stood out.

She instantly remembered that it was the Praying Plate from three years ago when we went to Laojun Mountain.

She was a bit surprised: "How do you have this..."

"You said, if I had time, to visit Laojun Mountain and see the Prayer Card you left."

Xu Musen looked at the now blurry text on the Praying Plate: "So before Nuannuan and I set off, our first stop was Laojun Mountain."

"Do you remember the old Taoist with the goatee on Laojun Mountain?"

Yao Mingyue was momentarily dazed and nodded: "Yes."

That white-bearded Taoist was quite memorable to her.

"This Praying Plate was given to me by him."

Xu Musen smiled: "The tree where we hung the Prayer Cards broke, and the card fell into a bird's nest. It was discovered by a Taoist from the temple when cleaning the nest by chance. It's fate that it was preserved until now."

Holding the Praying Plate in her hand, Yao Mingyue hadn't expected that such a sturdy old tree would fall, yet this small Praying Plate remained preserved.

"The old Taoist said this plate became the Wind-stopping Stone for the bird's nest, which was nearly blown away by a strong wind. It's a kind of blessing."

Xu Musen spoke while softly caressing Yao Mingyue's cheek.

"It's like

a dry tree coming back to life, finding hope in despair."

Dry tree... finding life...

Yao Mingyue muttered silently, holding the Praying Plate in her hand. Over these days, she hadn't been as optimistic as she appeared.

Facing life and death, very few can truly accept it calmly.

She had many regrets left unaddressed, whether in this life or the last...

Especially over the past month, watching him and An Nuannuan travel to every corner of the world, all those places... she wanted to go with him.

But it seems she's lost the chance again; it's been this way for two lifetimes...

How could there not be sadness and regret...

Holding the Praying Plate with the blurred text tightly, like holding onto a glimmer of hope, tears welled slightly as she chuckled: "So, you still remember..."

Even she was about to forget about it.

"Since we were young, have I not remembered anything you said?"

Xu Musen gently pinched her small ear: "But you, always let my words go in one ear and out the other."

Tears pooled in Yao Mingyue's eyes, but holding the Praying Plate, her heart felt warm, and she pouted her lips in grievance: "Should I apologize to you then?"

"Could you be any more perfunctory?"

Xu Musen smiled and tapped her forehead, with a loving smile: "But I accept."

From childhood, whenever Yao Mingyue felt wronged, no matter how big the mistake, Xu Musen would always forgive her unconditionally.

This has never changed.

Yao Mingyue knew this well, as she tightly held Xu Musen's arm. Those always proud and noble almond-shaped eyes now softly gleamed with tears and warmth: "You're always like this... you spoiled me."
