I bled for you, I did it for you…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay okay, I'll do it, I'll do it,\" he conceded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen was someone who couldn't resist her soft approach, especially since it was true that Yao Mingyue got injured jumping into the water to save him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he entered her room and took the quilt out of the closet, he started to help her make the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue sat on the side triumphantly, gently swaying her legs, feeling waves of happiness as she watched Xu Musen serve her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing Xu Musen confidently making her bed, she noticed that he could always find her favorite sheets, with the perfect material, color, and style in the wardrobe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would fluff the pillows first to make the cotton inside even softer and add a small cushion on top of the pillow because that's the way Yao Mingyue liked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The position of the bedside lamp's switch and even her slippers were placed in just the right spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Yao Mingyue always felt that Xu Musen understood her very well, even better than she understood herself in many ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tacit understanding was like that of an old married couple: coming home, making the bed, sleeping without shame or embarrassment…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Xu Musen's now increasingly tall and straight figure, and his focused profile while making the bed, a particular \"husbandly\" aura seemed to make it easy for a young girl to become infatuated with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue didn't even want to think about how happy she would be if they got married.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, another figure would always emerge in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue looked down at her right hand, wrapped in adhesive bandages, and let out an involuntary sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing, I was just thinking that it would be nice if my hand never healed,\" she responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has your brain been numbed by the icy water?\" he said with irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who else would curse for their own injury not to heal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Mingyue narrowed her eyes and smiled, looking at her injured right hand: \"Because now, you only indulge and take care of me when I'm injured, just like you do for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young girl's voice carried a faintly sour laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder she likes you so much. If I were her, I wouldn't want to get better either, so I could be taken care of by you indefinitely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen turned to look at her, her fair cheeks tinged with a wistful glow. In the past, Xu Musen was indeed this kind to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he had started to be good to another girl, while Yao Mingyue could only stealthily snatch away some tenderness…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liking someone doesn't disappear; it just quietly shifts elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Xu Musen might have already left impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, facing Yao Mingyue, he just couldn't bring himself to utter those cruel words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was slowly changing, but he already had An Nuannuan now. The future was long, but there was one thing Xu Musen was sure of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one he liked would not be let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two-timing... the last person who did that probably had their head wind-dried already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Yao Mingyue was prone to sickness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her getting a bit better, if she were to be provoked, who knew what she might do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just like the many times Yao Mingyue had asked him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>concerning his feelings for Yao Mingyue, Xu Musen admitted to himself that he did like her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he left her was not because he no longer liked her, but because the way they were together was just too suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, could Xu Musen really stand to see Yao Mingyue with another man one day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen felt a pang of distress in his chest, strange... was it possible that after spending so much time with her, he had also become that kind of possessive person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Musen himself hadn't realized that he had gradually shifted from being a committed, pure-hearted warrior of love to showing signs of becoming a polyamorous, pure-hearted warrior of love...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen exhaled softly and walked over to tap her head, \"Even if you weren't injured, I would still take care of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" Yao Mingyue's eyes glistened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Musen nodded, squinting his eyes and similarly smiling mischievously, as he stroked her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, you're my one and only dear little sister; big brother loves you so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was always 'brother and sister; he always used that to sate her. Yao Mingyue frowned unhappily at her pert nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn't care, and not just as a 'sworn brother' either – even if he were her real brother, she wouldn't give up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hummed, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Xu Musen, then suddenly rubbed her face into the palm of his hand with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a kitten seeking affection, she wound around Xu Musen's hand and deftly circled past, causing the hand he had placed on her head to slide onto her smooth, delicate cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>",1059,"2026-06-06T13:36:44.620Z",1,"novelbin.me","6c81eaebf7a896e630aee268e714488fd7d2c3b57ce75315241f5022d32abb57","after-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-chapter-498","after-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-chapter-496",1091,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-rebirth-i-rejected-the-rich-yandere-lady-cover.jpg"]
