After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

This was the first time An Nuannuan had hung up on him.

Xu Musen stared at the busy tone on his phone.

For a moment, he didn't know how to react. An Nuannuan, this little girl, had never gotten angry before.

But with a girl of this temperament, once she became angry, it could be quite difficult to placate her.

However, there was no choice, he couldn't just ignore Yao Mingyue.

Xu Musen took off her trench coat and set it aside, then he removed her shoes, and brought over the prepared bed linen and duvet cover.

As for anything else, Xu Musen really didn't know how to proceed at the moment.

"Dong dong…"

Suddenly, there came a knock at the door.

Xu Musen walked out of the room, only to see a figure standing outside the milk tea shop.

Xu Musen was stunned for a second.

"Nuannuan?"

Xu Musen opened the door and saw An Nuannuan, who was wearing pajamas and leaning on a crutch, with traces on her clean pajamas that seemed to come from a tumble.

"Nuannuan, how did you come here by yourself?"

An Nuannuan's dorm was not very far from here, but her coming all the way here with a crutch must have been a rush.

Seeing the mud stains on her clean pajamas, he was sure she must have fallen in her hurry on the way.

Xu Musen walked over with concern, but An Nuannuan, seeing him drenched, noticed his lips had turned a bit white from the cold journey.

She pursed her lips, her large eyes slightly moist, and reached out with her small hand to gently touch Xu Musen's cold cheek, her voice trembling a little.

"Xu Musen, are you alright?"

Xu Musen hadn't expected An Nuannuan's first words upon arrival to be not a questioning or blaming, but concern for him.

His heart warmed.

"I'm alright, sorry for making you worry."

An Nuannuan pouted her lips, her eyes full of sympathy and concern. She shook her head, "How is Sister Yao?"

"She's in the room. The situation was urgent today. The riverside was closest to the school, so I brought her back."

Xu Musen said, actually a bit worried that An Nuannuan might disapprove.

"I'll go check on her."

An Nuannuan spoke softly, making her way to the small room on her crutch.

Seeing Yao Mingyue lying on the bed with a somewhat blurry consciousness, drenched and with no color in her face,

she hesitated for a moment, then turned and said to Xu Musen, "Why don't you let her take a bath? Otherwise, she might catch a cold."

Xu Musen was taken aback, looking at An Nuannuan, "Nuannuan, you… don't mind?"

"At this point, the person is the most important thing, let's help her into the bathroom."

An Nuannuan insisted on helping.

"No need, I can do it myself."

Of course, Xu Musen wouldn't let her help, and directly picked up Yao Mingyue. In the bathroom, Xu Musen had specifically arranged a small bathtub, just big enough for one person to soak in.

Xu Musen gently supported her and laid her down in the bathtub, watching Yao Mingyue's clothes soak in the hot water, clinging to the young girl's perfect body.

At that moment, a small hand directly blocked his line of sight.

An Nuannuan pushed him, "I'll change her clothes for her, you go out and change yours too."

Her lips were slightly pursed, ultimately still showing a touch of jealousy.

"Okay."

Xu Musen, knowing he was at fault, even though there had been nothing improper between them, felt that An Nuannuan's calmness and even her initiative to bathe Yao Mingyue was already very gracious.

Xu Musen went out and changed his clothes, finally not feeling so cold anymore.

He sat in the room, his expression still a bit complex, as the events of today echoed through his mind, unsettling his heart.

After a while, the bathroom door opened.

An Nuannuan slowly walked out.

"Nuannuan..."

"She's fine, let her soak in the bath a while longer. Do you have clothes for her to change into?" An Nuannuan asked.

Xu Musen took out the clothes he had bought today, looking at the familiar styles and underwear brands.

An Nuannuan silently lifted her eyes and glanced at Xu Musen.

"..."

Xu Musen felt that despite the cold weather, he was starting to sweat, "Nuannuan, listen to me explain, I didn't expect these things to happen today, I... don't be mad at me, okay?"

An Nuannuan looked up at him, her clear, large eyes blinking, and although tinged with a hint of jealousy, her gaze remained tender.

"I know, I don't blame you."

Yet as she spoke, her lower lip couldn't help but pout slightly.

"Nuannuan, there's really nothing between her and me, and I've already told her about our relationship... otherwise, hit me to vent your anger."

Xu Musen was like a child admitting his faults and ready to accept punishment.

An Nuannuan stepped closer, looked at Xu Musen, actually raised her little hand, lifting it, but in the end, she merely gently caressed his still slightly cold cheek.

That soft little hand, carrying the warmth of her touch, seemed to have the magic to instantly soothe the heart.

"I'm a bit angry, angry that you didn't think to protect yourself first... but I'm also happy, because you encountered these things for our sake."

Her voice was always so simple and soft, never seeming to be truly angry.

Every word, every sentence, felt as if it landed right on the tip of Xu Musen's heart.

Although he had indeed gone today to confess, it was for the better future of him and Nuannuan.

But if it were any other girl, she probably wouldn't have been able to help being angry.

Yet what An Nuannuan cared about first and foremost was still him, and even when she said she was angry, it wasn't about Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue going out to buy clothes.

It was because she was angry at Xu Musen's reckless behavior in risking his own safety to save someone.

Xu Musen felt his body, which had been a bit numb from the cold, warming up from her words.

"Nuannuan..."

An Nuannuan cupped his cheeks, the lovely face that was now so close appeared especially tender, as she looked at Xu Musen, "Promise me, you won't take such risks again, okay? It would really hurt me..."

The last sentence, even An Nuannuan's voice carried a slight tremble.

Xu Musen stared blankly at her, extending his hands to gently embrace her.

"Nuannuan, thank you…"
