Are you with me because of the cake I brought you six years ago... so you're here to express your gratitude?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Musen asked this question, it pressed heavily on his heart, for it was his most sensitive issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't notice his hand was trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once bitten, twice shy; he did have some innate psychological shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched An Nuannuan's eyes, unsure of what answer he hoped for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Nuannuan also silently met his gaze for a while before saying softly, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen suddenly felt a sinking feeling, an indefinable emotion spreading through his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he knew that the emotion of liking someone is complex, made up of a mix of various feelings: being moved, being dependent, admiring, choosing, loving someone's appearance, personality, talent, ability, and even economic standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of these are part of liking someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Musen still wished for something purer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because love, that started with appearances, will one day fade as looks wither; love founded on wealth could also end over financial issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But love that begins with affection, despite seeming ethereal and fragile, could also be the purest and firmest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If An Nuannuan was with him only because of gratitude for something six years ago...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen managed a smile, but it was somewhat strained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, his hand was gripped even tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Nuannuan curled up her legs, slowly moving her body to get even closer to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those clear eyes, now reflecting the light, were exceptionally bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first, I really wanted to thank you, and I just thought about whether I could thank you in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, on my first day at the new school, I saw you confessing to her. I witnessed your excitement and nervousness and also saw your solitude and sadness afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was when I decided that I also wanted to help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Nuannuan's naïvely charming cheeks now flushed with a gentle hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But at that time, you only had eyes for her, and I didn't dare to disturb you too readily because I could sense that you're someone who fixates on things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you are also a very kind person. Back then, you seemed to be short on money, yet you would always buy her small snacks, bring water and a towel for her during gym class, and when it rained after school and we only had one umbrella, you would tilt it towards her, getting half-soaked yourself…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know what she thought, but all the things you did made me see you as an extraordinarily kind person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Nuannuan revealed these feelings, even though they were actions Xu Musen had done for another girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, at that time, Yao Mingyue had taken them for granted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But An Nuannuan was moved by these small details time and time again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknowingly, she had completed a sort of self-guided conquest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen was startled for a long time, with a bitter smile in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this was what it meant to unwittingly nurture a shade tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ice block he'd tried desperately to heat bore no fruit, yet the little sun secretly watching over him had quietly risen.\u003C\u002Fp>",960,"2026-06-06T13:36:44.620Z",1,"novelbin.me","f3929c772575c481e5f5b96703c41e0205deb0d39e4604291cd6db513e77f6f9","after-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-chapter-369","after-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-chapter-226",1091,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-cover.jpg"]
