After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Xu Musen spoke, unable to resist stretching out his hand to pinch her puffed-up cheeks, cute like a pufferfish.

Actually, when Xu Musen said that, it felt like a bit of a test.

Indeed, An Nuannuan's large eyes blinked, and as she looked into Xu Musen's eyes, she seemed momentarily unsure of how to reply.

She looked down at her legs, her little toes wiggled slightly, but it would still take some time before she could walk completely on her own.

She pursed her lips, not having had the chance to answer yet.

Another figure suddenly bounced out.

"Hey!"

An Nannan, after having dinner and practicing kung fu with the old man for a while, also hurried back.

She had just overheard Xu Musen's last sentence as she ran over.

Compensate him for what...

Seeing her sister's hesitant and complicated expression, it was a bit like the scenes in TV dramas where a woman is coerced by bandits to become their chief's wife.

She immediately stepped in front of her sister.

"Hey! Don't try to trick my sister. Whatever she owes you, I'll pay it back for her!"

An Nannan was still holding her precious Huali wood stick, embodying the spirit of a young heroine.

Xu Musen looked at her serious expression and found it to be just as endearingly cute as An Nuannuan's.

He couldn't help but laugh.

You'll pay it back for her?

As sisters, An Nannan had also started junior high school, and the young girl was naturally very pretty too.

The same large, sparkling eyes, she wielded her little stick every day to patrol their territory and protect her sister with great vigor.

She was exceptionally cute, and without a doubt, she would become a beauty when she grew up.

But for now...

Well... she might get caught by the cops.

An Nuannuan's face flushed pink as she gently patted her sister's head.

"How about you compensate me with your little stick?" Xu Musen asked with a smile, trying to tease her.

But An Nannan immediately hugged her stick protectively to her chest, "Don't even think about it!"

Seeing how precious the stick was to her, it seemed to carry special significance.

"Okay, okay, I was just joking with your sister."

Xu Musen waved his hand off, feeling a slight twinge of regret deep down.

Watching An Nuannuan, he was unsure what the young girl had wanted to say, but having missed the chance, he guessed he'd have to wait for the next time. Xu Musen revealed a faint smile and turned to bask in the sunlight.

However, he didn't see that An Nuannuan was at that moment hugging her sister, her gaze also quietly following Xu Musen, her clear eyes shimmering.

Inside the room.

The conversation between Professor Gao and Grandma Nuannuan also turned to them.

"This young man seems quite decent, it's also the first time I've seen Nuannuan care so much about someone," Professor Gao mentioned the school incidents.

"Yes, it has been many years, and since Nuannuan's mother left us, she hasn't really been in touch with others. She has been quite reserved at home, but ever since meeting this young man, she has become much more cheerful," Grandma nodded in agreement.

Professor Gao laughed, "It's just that these two kids are always together, it's so easy for them to develop feelings."

Upon this topic, Grandma sipped her tea and thought for a good while, finally letting out a faint sigh.

"The children have grown up, it's bound to happen sooner or later, we can't control Nuannuan for her whole life, otherwise, we're just harming her. Let's see how these young people make their own way," she said, but in her mind, she recalled another matter.

There was another girl around Xu Musen...

Professor Gao nodded, yes, matters of the heart are always so hard to define.

It was getting late.

Xu Musen was preparing to leave.

The old man had spent the whole day in the backyard afraid to come back to his room.

Xu Musen sighed, realizing that some things were truly difficult to let go of for a lifetime.

He said his goodbyes to everyone.

An Nuannuan walked him to the door.

"Xu Musen, it will be a long time before we see each other again."

There was a tone of reluctance in An Nuannuan's voice.

For the seven days of National Day, Xu Musen was going back to his hometown.

An Nuannuan would stay in Hu Hai to continue her treatment.

"It's only seven days, it'll pass quickly. Exercise well."

Xu Musen patted her head.

"Xu Musen, I remember all the good you did for me," An Nuannuan said, raising her head to look at him, her big eyes reflecting his image, her hand gently squeezed her legs.

"Can I take my time and pay you back later?"

Xu Musen looked at her, unsure whether she was talking about repaying a favor or compensating for the peach blossom luck he had lost.

But he felt full of anticipation.

"Sure."

Xu Musen replied with a nod and a smile.

Just as he was about to leave, An Nuannuan gently shook his arm.

The young girl lifted her pristine neck, her beautiful cheeks tinged with the thrill of anticipation.

Her arms also opened up slightly.

As if spelling out three words.

Want a hug~

Xu Musen bent down and gently embraced her shoulders, "See you next time."

"Mhm~"

Upstairs, Grandma and Professor Gao watched the scene at the door, their expressions a bit unusual.

Xiang Ayi drove over to offer him a ride, thoughtfully watching the pair, then tacitly moved to the next intersection to wait.

...

Back at school.

School would officially be on break tomorrow, and students who had plans to go home or travel had already quietly left.

The campus was much emptier.

The milk tea shop and delivery business were also not as busy.

Zhao Lianmai was still cleaning up in the shop.

"Little Mai, weren't you going to go back home?"

"I'm planning to book a train ticket for tomorrow night."

Xu Musen nodded.

Tickets for the night train seemed to be the cheapest; it felt like this girl was always trying to save money.

However, Zhao Lianmai was a person with a strong sense of pride, so Xu Musen refrained from asking more.
