After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

The familiar touch, warmth, and faint fragrance of flowers seemed to stir up many memories from Xu Musen's past life.

Even, his body's subconscious choice was to let the other person have her way rather than resist.

"Hiss…"

But the next moment, Xu Musen suddenly felt a pain at the corner of his mouth and his cheek.

This crazy girl, she actually bit someone again!

"Are you insane?"

Xu Musen pushed her away.

Yao Mingyue's eyes held a moist sheen, her eye rims were red, but there was a triumphant smile on her face.

She touched her own lips with her hand.

"Xu Musen, you can't fool me, you still like me, that was my first kiss just now, whether you want it or not, I've already given it to you."

This should be considered the first true kiss for both of them with self-awareness.

Although, strictly speaking, only half.

Xu Musen touched his left lip and cheek, feeling a bit of the teeth mark residue.

"Yao Mingyue, this is meaningless."

"I think it's good enough, Xu Musen, you can choose not to be with me now, but my choice will never change, you said it yourself, we all have our choices, you can't control that I like you!"

Yao Mingyue's triumph with this kiss was like finally adding a handful of wood to a fire that was about to go out.

It made her feel temporarily settled again.

Xu Musen listened, a bit silent.

Yao Mingyue's current condition was the same as his before.

"I like you, and it's none of your business..."

That sentence used to be his sentimental QQ Space status.

A love-struck fool cannot be woken with insults.

Xu Musen had a headache, finally understanding how others used to see him. No wonder no one besides He Qiang wanted to hang out with him.

Loyal dogs never end well.

Yao Mingyue's gaze drifted around the room, especially lingering on An Nuannuan's things.

She bit her lip, a hint of malice flickering in her eyes, then suddenly smiled at Xu Musen.

"Well, I won't bother you then, remember today's kiss, I'll get back the other half of the lips sooner or later!"

Yao Mingyue licked her lips, her smile hinting at a prelude to her 'blackening', carrying a sly undertone.

"A twisted melon may not be sweet, but it can quench thirst. Better to be not sweet than to die of thirst."

Yao Mingyue stood in the doorway, bathed in light, her phoenix eyes reflecting the stars.

Deep, shimmering, captivating, and dangerous.

She smiled brightly at Xu Musen.

Then she turned and left.

Xu Musen watched her figure slowly fade into the night.

He reached out and touched the corner of his own lips; he hadn't expected to actually get a forced kiss.

For some reason, he didn't feel very angry, just as she had said.

Deep down, he didn't really reject her.

Xu Musen closed the door and returned to his room; his lips still felt a bit sore, so he subconsciously picked up the ice pack from the bed and pressed it to his lips.

But as he was applying it, something felt off.

Wasn't this the ice pack he had just used on Yao Mingyue's butt?

Looking at the ice pack, there was a nicely shaped imprint of a butt.

Did he... reuse the ice?

"..."

Xu Musen was genuinely feeling a bit depressed now, and it was not as if he could talk to his family about it.

If he told Aunt Liu, she would likely feign ignorance and might even take the opportunity to push them closer together.

If he told his parents, they would probably just pat their son's shoulder with satisfaction, remarking "Good boy!"

Throwing away the ice, Xu Musen burrowed into his bed, feeling miserable.

Sleep!

Go to class. Find exclusive stories on empire

The next day, a few of them were eating at the milk tea shop.

The space there was sufficient, and they could also take the opportunity to have a morning meeting over breakfast.

Zhou Hangyu and the others kept looking at Xu Musen's face.

"Do I have flowers on my face?" Xu Musen glared at them.

"No, there are the remnants of indulgence left uncleaned."

"Go to hell!"

Xu Musen almost spat out his soy milk.

"Haha, but you do have some redness around your lips. Did you really shack up with her yesterday?"

"Geez, did you kiss or were you cupped? The boss's lady is tiny; I wouldn't have thought... that's pretty intense."

They gossiped incessantly.

Xu Musen couldn't be bothered to argue with them.

What could he say?

I was kissed forcefully by the school beauty?

And her kiss yesterday was quite fierce; there's still a bit of redness on the side of my mouth.

"Hey, the boss lady is here."

At that moment, An Nuannuan came over with a crutch, accompanied by Zhao Lianmai.

"Hello, boss lady!"

Several people called out in unison.

"Mm-hmm, hello everyone."

An Nuannuan really liked being called boss lady, nodding and greeting them.

"How come you guys can't be this enthusiastic when you call me?"

Xu Musen was starting to feel that something was off. It seemed like even though he was the actual boss, they weren't even a tenth as enthusiastic and respectful toward him as they were toward An Nuannuan.

"Hehe, Musen, there's a saying that goes, brown-nosing the boss might just get you a higher salary, but taking good care of the boss's lady can lead to soaring success. One word from her beside the pillow beats ten years of bootlicking."

Li Rundong chuckled, his native Shandong wit coming through in understanding human relations.

That was well said. Mature bootlickers always start with those important to their leaders, since there are plenty of people wanting to cozy up to them.

However, thinking about taking care of someone close to them would appear much more sincere.

Xu Musen patted his shoulder: "You'd actually be quite talented if you weren't playing the sycophant; keep it up."

"Come on, can we stop bringing that up?" Li Rundong was a bit down but immediately stood up and vacated the seat next to him.

Making room for An Nuannuan and Xu Musen to sit together.

"Here's the tofu pudding I prepared for you, it's sweet."

Xu Musen smiled as he pushed the tofu pudding he bought in front of An Nuannuan.

"Mmm!"

An Nuannuan really liked sweets; it was as if she was making up for the cake she missed out on before.

"Xu Musen, what happened to your face?"

An Nuannuan suddenly noticed the redness around Xu Musen's mouth; it looked like something had bitten him.

"It's nothing, just got bitten by a mosquito last night."

"There are still mosquitoes now?"

An Nuannuan cocked her head.

"Near the river, it's normal to have some water mosquitoes. Try this candy cake; it's quite good."

Xu Musen changed the subject: "By the way, a new month has started, everyone has more tasks on their hands. This month, let's try to contact all the colleges in Hu Hai, still going with the tea shop plus delivery combination, budgeting around two hundred thousand for each school. Zhou Hangyu, you're a local, start by contacting your friends and see how it goes.

Li Rundong, you'll be in charge of maintaining relationships with the merchants. Ma Yaxing, continue to refine our user database; all this will be very useful in the future. Lianmai, you take care of finance and personnel management..."

Xu Musen assigned tasks to everyone.

"And what about you, Boss Xu?"

They all looked at Xu Musen.

"I have an even more important mission."

Xu Musen spoke seriously as he gulped down the soymilk. "I need to help our boss lady with her leg training and medical rehabilitation. Who has a greater responsibility than me?"

"Hehe..."

The corners of their mouths twitched.

An Nuannuan's eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but shake her legs slightly under the table.

After breakfast,

An Nuannuan went to the small room to brush her teeth.

Actually, brushing your teeth after breakfast is the most correct thing to do.

After brushing, she placed her toothbrush back in the cup and glanced at Xu Musen's toothbrush. Her big eyes blinked.

Then she gently nudged his toothbrush a bit closer to hers, making it lean against her own. She then also pressed the edges of their towels together.

"Hehe..."

An Nuannuan didn't know why, but she felt a bit unusually happy inside.

She turned around, saw Xu Musen's bed unmade, and just pushed aside carelessly.

She went over with her crutch, wanting to tidy it up for him.

There was still a bit of warmth in the bed, along with a faint scent of vegetation from Xu Musen's body.

An Nuannuan held the blanket but couldn't resist bowing her head slightly.

Hmm... why was there a faint smell, like that of a girl?

She sniffed the corner of the blanket again.

It was a unique floral scent; the aroma brought to An Nuannuan's mind an image of a tall figure.

Yet, she was the one who had made the bed yesterday, and they had been together all the time in between.

The only time left...

Was last night.

An Nuannuan's little hand gripped the blanket tight.

But they were a boy and a girl, and they had been on the bed together...

An Nuannuan was a bit flustered as she opened her mouth slightly.

At this moment, Xu Musen happened to enter the room and saw An Nuannuan sitting on the bed, lost in thought. He asked curiously,

"Nuannuan, what's wrong?"

An Nuannuan turned her head to look at him. She clutched the blanket in her hand tighter, her voice now contained a hint of something previously absent, akin to a tiny hint of jealousy.

"Xu Musen, did you... did you do that kind of thing... that can make babies?"

Xu Musen: ???
