After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Chapter 235: Xiao Sickly Cutie's Confession, the Regrets of the Past (1/2)_2



But if something becomes popular, there must be an audience for it. Compared to these high school students in uniforms, looking somewhat dopey, it does seem quite "trendy."

Quite a few young girls were indeed easily deceived by these spirited lads.

This boy, holding flowers, approached a girl.

The girl seemed to be the quiet and obedient type.

Standing together, the two didn't look like they matched in style.

"Li Lin, I like you. Be with me!"

The young man went down on one knee with the bouquet, immediately drawing a chorus of hoots from the crowd.

"Woah woah woah!"

"Say yes, say yes!"

The scenario high school students enjoyed the most.

The girl's face turned crimson, but despite them being an odd match in style, she took the flowers.

Amidst the cheering crowd, she got on Ghostfire Boy's bike and vanished in a puff of smoke.

Xu Musen also couldn't help but find it a bit funny, although not all boys like that are necessarily bad. Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

But how many are willing to gamble on that probability?

"I really don't understand why anyone would like such boys..."

Next to him, Yao Mingyue didn't feel touched at all, obviously because the pair were too different in their styles.

Xu Musen, with a hint of sigh, said, "Because in high school, it's the time when youth is most restless. But most people are too reserved to express themselves. Whether it's boys or girls, they actually all long for and are impulsive about love. Those Ghostfire Boys, though they look unruly, are willing to say anything.

Regardless of whether they can follow through, as long as they paint a picture, there will be girls willing to bite. No matter how demure the affection, if it isn't voiced, others will never feel it. There's a saying that goes well: the brave enjoy the world first, the shy only touch themselves. All the secret love and care sometimes just can't compete with a bouquet of flowers from someone else."

What Xu Musen said was the truth. Chasing girls is like that; you have to dare to speak up first.

Even if it's not successful, there's no real loss. After all, do you really lack a female friend?

No, what you lack is a girlfriend!

And if it is successful, then it's a win-win.

This applies to anything in society as well.

The world is like a grand makeshift stage; everyone's skills are roughly similar. As long as you dare to speak up and show yourself, you'll definitely achieve enviable results.

Yao Mingyue looked at Xu Musen: "What about you, then? When you confessed to me before, were you also just feeding me a big pie?"

Xu Musen thought for a moment: "Do you want the truth?"

"Of course, but if it's not nice, I'll pretend I didn't hear it!"

Yao Mingyue also lifted her fair and delicate face.

Xu Musen sighed softly, shook his head, and laughed: "Back then, I was so poor I was nearly eating dirt. I didn't have the energy to paint you any pie. Actually, I wanted to eat your rich girl pie."

Xu Musen said it jokingly, but he did indeed have some of those thoughts at the time. If he could win over Yao Mingyue, he and his family might have had it a bit better.

Unfortunately, the pie that was Yao Mingyue was too big for him, almost choking him to death.

It was an unexpected answer.

Xu Musen almost said, "Actually, I liked your money."

Had it been any other girl, she surely would have been angry, but Yao Mingyue, after being stunned for a moment, couldn't help but snicker.

She held Xu Musen's hand, leaning close to him, and lifted her exquisite cheeks to meet his eyes: "Then you still have time now. I can still support you!"

Yao Mingyue's voice wasn't kept low, and the passing students suddenly cast surprised glances their way.

They would be dazzled seeing Yao Mingyue and relieved seeing Xu Musen.

Damn, if I were this handsome, maybe I could also find a rich woman to take care of me.

Xu Musen extended his hand and tapped her forehead: "I say, aren't you going to get mad?"

I was thinking of treating you like an ATM, but after marrying, I found out you're actually a juicer...

But Yao Mingyue just smiled.

"What's there to be angry about? Liking someone's looks, personality, talent, essentially there's no difference from liking money. Besides, you don't like anyone else's money; you just like mine, which proves you still like me!"

Yao Mingyue seemed particularly adept at comforting herself. She humphed softly, holding Xu Musen's hand even tighter.

This bootlicking statement somehow gave Xu Musen a feeling like looking in a mirror.

But Teacher Yao wasn't wrong. Although Xu Musen did somewhat fancy the idea of clinging to wealthy connections, that was based on the fact that he liked Yao Mingyue.

If it were someone else, they would still rather die than accept handouts.

"Xu Musen."

Yao Mingyue suddenly called out to him again.

"Hmm?"

"You, during the entire time in high school, never dated anyone. Do you feel any regrets?"

Yao Mingyue was holding his hand, yet she lightly kicked at the pebbles on the ground, still seemingly a bit nervous.

Xu Musen watched as people bustled around the campus, some boys and girls walking together, unable to hide that sense of flirtation.

In college, dating became more casual, but it still lacked that secretive thrill of high school.

"Regret, of course there are regrets."

Xu Musen didn't hide his true thoughts, who wouldn't want to experience a proper romance in their youth?

"If the last time I confessed to you, you had agreed, would things between us be completely different now?"

Yao Mingyue also watched a couple holding hands, feeling as if she were a thief, only able to steal these bits of warmth on the sly.

Yet, all of this could have been hers outright.

Xu Musen didn't answer directly, "That's all in the past."

"Yeah, it's all in the past,"

Yao Mingyue showed a wistful smile, eyeing the crowd in school uniforms before her, as if she had been transported back to over half a year ago.

Back then, she could go to school and come back home with Xu Musen every day. If time could be reversed…

"Xu Musen, do you think, if you had that kind of superpower to turn back time, would you take care of me the same way you did before?"

Yao Mingyue suddenly brought up this topic. Xu Musen paused for a moment, if time could be turned back to even earlier…

He never regretted taking care of her. Even if given a hundred chances, Xu Musen would still take good care of her.

But if there really was such a chance.

Xu Musen felt maybe he would have made her better, helped her completely overcome her psychological shadows, and allowed her to truly embrace the life she desired...

Xu Musen didn't give a direct answer, instead, he looked at her, giving a slight chuckle as he counter-asked, "What about you, if you could turn back time, what would you like to do?"

"Me?"

Yao Mingyue's eyes flickered, a mixture of indescribable feelings swirling in those phoenix eyes. She offered a faint smile, staring at Xu Musen for a good while before giving his arm a playful shake.

"I'm a bit hungry. Let's get something to eat first. I want roasted sausages!"

Yao Mingyue quickly diverted the conversation, pointing to the food street next to the school.

Roasted sausages…

Xu Musen looked at the queue in front of the snack stand.

"Okay."

The two joined the queue and bought roasted sausages, grilled cold noodles, candied hawthorns…

Every time, Yao Mingyue would take a bite and then pass it to Xu Musen to eat.

It was the same as before, but back then Yao Mingyue wanted Xu Musen to eat more to grow taller.

Now, however, Yao Mingyue simply enjoyed the feeling of strolling through the streets with him.

Yao Mingyue queued again for octopus balls, a snack perfect for couples to feed to each other.

Xu Musen had already noticed a girl at the side feeding her boyfriend, their shy and satisfied smiles meeting each other's eyes.

The innocent and bewildered romance between teenage boys and girls made Xu Musen also reveal an understanding smile.

In the past, he too fantasized more than once about walking through the streets and eating snacks with Yao Mingyue like this.

If Yao Mingyue could have been like an ordinary girl, even if not that beautiful or outstanding, Xu Musen felt that his years up until now might not have been so dull.

"Why are you looking at others?"

Yao Mingyue's voice interrupted his train of thought, she was holding a bowl of steaming octopus balls.

Following his gaze, she also saw the couple nearby feeding each other. Yao Mingyue's phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed, and she lifted the corners of her mouth in a curve.

"Oh~ envious of others, huh? If you beg me, maybe I could feed you, how about it?"

Yao Mingyue leaned close to his ear as she spoke and shook the freshly made, fragrant octopus balls in her hand. So close, the faint scent from her mouth was far more tempting than the snacks...
