After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"So, are you pitying me?"

Xu Musen looked at her. If she had appeared a bit earlier back then... would he have changed his direction?

"It's not pity, but I really feel for you."

An Nuannuan shook her head and reached out a hand to pinch his face.

"Actually, I used to be so envious of her and couldn't understand why she didn't cherish someone willing to treat her so well."

"Then, back then, did you like me?"

Xu Musen asked again.

An Nuannuan's eyes blinked, and in the end, she shook her head, "Back then, I didn't know what kind of liking it was, but if possible, I wanted to make your life a little better."

After all, at that time he was still wholeheartedly devoted to Yao Mingyue.

As long as they were still together, An Nuannuan might never have taken the initiative to appear.

It's a bit humble, like the moon in the sky, only daring to quietly spread its own light at night.

It might not be as dazzling as the sun, but in the pitch-black night, it can still light up the path home.

Xu Musen's heart was in turmoil; it turned out that when he was being a lovestruck fool, there was such an adorable "little love-kitty" behind him.

He chuckled, "So, when I finally decided to break up with her, you finally chose to show up?"

"Hmm..."

An Nuannuan's pretty face was a bit flushed, also a bit like the joy of a long drought meeting a sweet rain.

"Actually, I was really happy that day, but I was afraid to tell you. I worried it might scare you."

"Scare me?"

Xu Musen muttered softly, looking into An Nuannuan's clear eyes, seeing in them a reflection of his own past self.

Yes, when he had first returned from rebirth, he subconsciously resisted feelings of emotion, especially those that mixed destiny and childhood memories.

He hadn't even noticed it.

But this silly girl was so sensitive.

Xu Musen suddenly felt that maybe he was the fish in the pond, and An Nuannuan was the one who used herself to bait him on the hook.

"Actually, at that time, I was also worried that you might go back to her. I thought to myself, I'll take this time to treat you a little better, to be a good friend, and that was enough for me. But later..."

An Nuannuan said, her gorgeous cheeks misted over with a pleasant and happy emotion.

"But later, you would accompany me shopping, worry about me getting hungry and buy me tasty food, you'd carry me on your back for a long walk to send me home, and you always talked and massaged me during PE class.

In college, you braved the sun to walk me back to my dorm, helped me make my bed, wandered around with me every day, came home with me, and you even let me be the owner of the milk tea shop"

"I liked the kind brother who sent me cakes and encouragement, but I like you even more now..."
Your next chapter awaits on empire

An Nuannuan recounted bit by bit the little events between them, her smile at the corner of her mouth a bit goofy, goofy enough to make anyone's heart smile along unconsciously.

Unawares, the two of them had gone through so much together.

In Xu Musen's heart, the shadows that once loomed seemed to be smoothed out, little by little.

Actually, wasn't he also gradually attracted to An Nuannuan?

When he first started his business, Nuannuan took out all the money she had saved from selling flowers, not to mention the investment help from her family.

As a somewhat famous young artist, she helped him by drawing illustrations and being his food model for only fifty yuan each.

During military training, thinking he had suffered from heatstroke, she climbed to his dorm floor alone, despite her ailing leg, just to bring him a bowl of mung bean soup.

When he was framed, she was the one who pushed a wheelchair by herself, traveling several kilometers to call for help...

Xu Musen took a deep breath, looking at the girl in front of him.

Xu Musen's inner thoughts were so resolute.

Confessions need a sense of ceremony, but how could one prepare in advance for a heartbeat like that?

And those hesitant thoughts were really unfair to An Nuannuan.

The matters of his past life needed to be digested by Xu Musen alone, and the hurts from before couldn't become stumbling blocks in this life for his brave pursuit of love.

Love requires two people to rush towards each other, but often it takes one person bravely taking the first step!

Xu Musen looked at her, the confession is now!

No matter the outcome, he would not regret it.

"Nuannuan, I was too tangled up before, now I want to tell you..."

But he didn't finish his sentence.

An Nuannuan stretched out both hands, just like how Xu Musen usually pulled on her cheeks, she also tugged at his.

Those ordinarily clear and a bit silly eyes now seemed to hold a pond of honey sweet enough to drown a person.

Her chest rose and fell gently, and her fair pretty face stood firm with shy and determined emotions.

"Before, I was also too tangled up, always thinking, hoping that I could become the person you liked.

But I know that your past confessions never got the answer you wanted, and I don't want to put you through that scene again."

An Nuannuan took a deep breath, her pretty face blushing, but the emotions in her eyes were shining brightly even in the dark night.

Since she had decided, why couldn't she also be brave?

She liked him, it wasn't his fault he had been wronged in the past.

So from now on... her boyfriend, of course, she would dote on him herself!

She moved closer to Xu Musen, hugging his cheeks, as if their roles had been swapped.

Her voice trembled slightly but was extraordinarily firm.

"Xu Musen, would you... like to be in a relationship with me?"
