After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"Xu Musen."

"What is it now?"

"Tell me, do you find it more comfortable to hold my foot or Nuannuan's?"

Yao Mingyue cupped her cheeks and looked seriously into his eyes.

Xu Musen instinctively compared them.

An Nuannuan's small feet were undeniably the softest, like white jade tofu, truly something you hold in your hand with care lest it breaks, or in your mouth lest it melts.

Whereas Yao Mingyue's toes were more defined, with a soft elasticity, like a piece of fruit-flavored jelly.

There's no better or worse, just different flavors~

"Hey, I'm asking you!"

Yao Mingyue wiggled her feet.

"Each has its own merits."

"Can you not be so perfunctory?"

"You're the one suddenly asking such a weird question, how am I supposed to answer?"

"Then if... both Nuannuan and I said we were tired and wanted a massage, who would you help first?"

Yao Mingyue looked at Xu Musen with extreme seriousness.

Xu Musen was taken aback for a moment. This "if my mom and I fell into a river, who would you save first?" phrase sounded so familiar.

It felt like Nuannuan had once asked a similar question while they were climbing over fences at the back playground.

"I say, is it impossible for you girls to ask a serious question without using this format?"

"None of your business! Just answer my question now!"

Xu Musen sighed helplessly, looking at the insistent Yao Mingyue who wanted an answer, he shook his head and chuckled: "I'd give you a massage first, satisfied?"

"Really?"

Yao Mingyue looked at him, knowing that he was just coaxing her, yet still feeling sweet inside.

Indeed, childhood sweethearts do have their advantages.

Xu Musen nodded: "Of course, since Nuannuan is so kind, she'd definitely let you go first. After all, she wouldn't cause unnecessary trouble for her husband."

Yao Mingyue's smug smile froze instantly: "What do you mean? You're saying I'm unreasonable or demanding?"

"What do you think?"

"Xu Musen, I hate you! I'm going to kick you!"

Yao Mingyue, angrily, almost executed the 'Foshan Shadowless Kick,' but her feet were held tight by Xu Musen.

Xu Musen laughed heartily, holding her small feet like he was rowing a boat.

"Hey, hey! What are you two doing over there?"

In the basketball court, the sun-tanned sports teacher walked over.

As a sports teacher, he normally didn't interfere with students' relationships since it didn't affect his salary anyway.

But doing something like openly airing their romance was really too much!

And showing off by playing with a girl's feet in public, especially such a pretty girl's? Envious... no! It's perverse!

Why didn't he get such attention in his youth?

This improper behavior must be corrected!

Yao Mingyue blushed.

Xu Musen, however, remained calm, as if he hadn't heard the sports teacher, instead raising his voice: "Hey classmate, is your foot feeling better? Be more careful during your next run to avoid twisting it again. Come on, put your shoe on."

Yao Mingyue hesitated for a moment, then quickly caught on, wiping the nonexistent tears from her eyes and showing a pained look: "Mm-hm! Thank you, classmate, for fetching my shoe. I'm feeling much better now."

"No need to thank me, helping others is a noble virtue!"

Xu Musen righteously helped Yao Mingyue put on her shoe, then pretended to suddenly notice the sports teacher standing nearby.

"Oh, hello teacher."

"You two, what were you just doing?" The sports teacher raised an eyebrow.

"Just now this female student accidentally fell and twisted her ankle, so I helped her up. Thankfully it's not serious."

Xu Musen spoke in a businesslike manner, leaving no room for criticism.

The sports teacher, his tanned face showing his bright white teeth, spoke meaningfully: "Just a help? That holding seemed pretty long to me."

"Teacher, I really just helped briefly, I'm fine now, thank you for your concern."

Yao Mingyue stood up, her cheeks slightly flushed with a fib.

The sports teacher looked at the pair, admitting that they really were a handsome couple, having no intention to break them apart.

Especially after hearing such soft-spoken words from a lovely girl, his mood lightened considerably.

"Which class are you two from? Why does it feel like I haven't seen you before..."

The sports teacher looked at them again, especially noticing Xu Musen. Xu Musen was tall and strapping, without exaggerated muscles, but the toned build spoke of strength, a kind of power not typical for his age, which intrigued the teacher: "You seem pretty robust, do you train regularly?"

"In a way, yes."

Xu Musen quickly followed up.

The sports teacher nodded: "Alright, we're organizing an inter-class basketball game shortly, how about you join and play a match?"

"Well... I haven't really played basketball much." Xu Musen thought to decline.

The sports teacher went over and patted Xu Musen's shoulder, his tanned face showing a grin.

"After playing, you can have free time, I won't interfere."

Men understood one another with unspoken agreement.

Xu Musen instantly smiled too, grabbing the sports teacher's hand: "Teacher, actually I do know a bit about basketball."

And thus, Xu Musen was roped into a friendly basketball match among several classes, only to find out it was a match with a nearby sports school.

Though called a friendly match, they were after all from a specialized sports college, none shorter than 1.85 meters, with even a couple reaching 1.90 meters, and packed with muscle.
