It's just turning the world upside down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since getting on the bus, many eyes began to focus on them, especially on Yao Mingyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were quite a few students from the same school on the bus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't that Yao Mingyue? She's actually taking the bus, she usually gets picked up and dropped off in a BMW, doesn't she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe she wants to experience life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't think so. Look, isn't that Xu Musen next to her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? Their clothes seem to be from the same brand, and they match pretty well. Could it be that they've gotten back together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, definitely Xu Musen, this bootlicker, couldn't stand it anymore and actively bought clothes to apologize. Look, he keeps trying to stand next to Yao Mingyue...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whispers echoed inside the bus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen wanted to curse. Just how deeply ingrained was this bootlicker image in people's hearts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can't you see clearly who exactly is the one trying to rub up against someone else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the corners of Yao Mingyue's mouth couldn't help but curl up, a sly and proud gleam in her phoenix eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly felt that taking the initiative felt surprisingly good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen ignored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But during the morning rush hour, the buses were packed with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue's strong presence made the boys around her not dare to come close. Only the girls could squeeze over to that side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a girl getting close to Xu Musen, she would frown and silently take up space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This led to Ming Yue bumping into him every time the bus started or stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen couldn't complain, firstly because it was too embarrassing for a grown man to admit he was being taken advantage of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, no one would believe him anyway!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bootlicker like you and a cold girl would take advantage of you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if caught red-handed, there would be a bunch of guys saying he didn't know how good he had it and to come touch them instead...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just too sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only three stops, but Xu Musen found it incredibly torturous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, they arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, Xu Musen met Yao Mingyue's lips still lingering with a pleased smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly are you trying to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue, looking at his expression, seemed especially satisfied and, without a word, turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The onlookers clicked their tongues in interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just as expected, Xu Musen couldn't help but speak to her, but Yao Mingyue completely ignored him, hahaha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen burst into wry laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, alright, if you want to play it like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I can't deal with it, can't I still avoid it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two entered the classroom, many students noticed that their clothes looked very similar in style and brand, just like a couple's outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Qiang couldn't help but ask, \"Moriko, have you and Yao Mingyue made up? Why are your clothes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bought by the family, just a coincidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew they were childhood friends, so it was normal for them to shop for clothes together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, obviously, for these students who were keen on gossip, it only made things look worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And today, Yao Mingyue did not explain anything, just let the gossip spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen endured until lunchtime and went to the cafeteria to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Yao Mingyue and her bestie came over with their trays and sat opposite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were silent, but the clothes that looked very much like a couple's outfit on them, as well as Yao Mingyue's occasional laughter,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was enough to make everyone start to imagine scenarios.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Yao Mingyue seemed quite skilled as she clipped a sausage from her own plate to Xu Musen's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xu Musen could react, she walked off with her best friend, plate in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the fiery gaze of envy from the surrounding boys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen knew that this was the little tsundere's customary tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still wouldn't express any stance, yet would occasionally make some intimate gestures, leading others to subconsciously think that the two had reconciled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might even lead others to fantasize even more…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen felt a bit of a headache, but he didn't care about these things anymore, as such tactics would naturally fall apart on their own once college started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his meal, Xu Musen went straight to the back garden of the sports field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking onto the secluded path, Xu Musen spotted the familiar wheelchair and the light-colored long dress beneath the dappled tree shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was still eating, her cheeks bulging as she chewed slowly and methodically, her gaze slightly vacant but earnest as she focused on her food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen didn't go over to disturb her. As a modern person, one seldom leaves their phone behind. Most people needed to watch TV, look at their phone, or have a conversation while eating as if unable to enjoy their meal otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to see someone eating with such dedication, as if fighting with the meal, was truly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen sat down on a bench more than ten meters away from her, looking at her puffed-up, adorable cheeks and her dazed expression; she truly resembled a squirrel with its mouth stuffed with peanuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extremely cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen couldn't help but smile, and just as An Nuannuan swallowed her last bite, she saw Xu Musen smiling at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're smiling...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed oblivious to what a ladylike image should be, talking with her mouth still full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen walked over, \"I didn't want to disturb you just now, seeing you enjoying your meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, what about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just finished eating at the cafeteria as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The cafeteria... Is the food there really that good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Nuannuan seemed very curious about the student cafeteria's food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen looked at her. In fact, the cafeteria food could only be considered average, but it was cheaper with subsidies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the girl in front of him, she probably wouldn't even consider eating in the cafeteria...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling pity, Xu Musen smiled and said, \"Actually, it's not good at all. I still prefer the food made at home. It's just that everyone is busy at home, and it's not convenient for me to bring food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Nuannuan nodded her head and took a sip of water from her cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, have you prepared the drawing we talked about yesterday?\" Xu Musen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I've finished it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brightening at the mention of this new job, An Nuannuan took a hard paper bag out of the pocket of her wheelchair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening it, inside were already three drafts — a cat, a dog, and a squirrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them in an adorable style with big eyes, very suitable for icons in a match-three type of casual game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are they?\" An Nuannuan pulled out a bunch of grapes from somewhere, eating while looking expectantly for an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, they're good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen smiled and nodded. Turning to look at her, the two of them were very close, and Nuannuan seemed a bit myopic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning forward, her delicate little face appeared as if resting on Xu Musen's shoulder due to their difference in height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Musen turned back, he met her beautiful peach-blossom eyes and her cheeks bulged with grapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Nuannuan always had her hair down, usually covering her features, but at such close range, he realized she was really beautiful — on par with Yao Mingyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she seemed to genuinely possess a sense of innocence about the world. Looking at her fair face so close, her pink lips glistening with grape juice seemed particularly tempting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen unconsciously swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With clear eyes, An Nuannuan heard Xu Musen's act of swallowing. Instead of showing shyness, she moved her pink lips and even leaned in a little closer to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would you like a taste too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen was taken aback, looking at her lips so close to his…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are girls nowadays this direct?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, should he take a taste?\u003C\u002Fp>",1411,"2026-06-06T13:36:44.336Z",1,"novelbin.me","abc6c2575d699be47b44ac66c1316475b001944ef25da69b567c5dd4ff7204f8","after-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-chapter-18","after-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-chapter-16",1091,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-cover.jpg"]
