After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

But every time she saw that absent-minded look in his eyes, Yao Mingyue couldn't help feeling a sense of triumphant joy.

"Do I look good?"

Yao Mingyue walked in front of him and gave her trench coat a little shake.

"Looking good isn't going to make the high-speed train wait for you; let's go."

Xu Musen said as he started walking forward.

Yao Mingyue watched his retreating figure and snorted inwardly.

Such a little man, quite the tsundere.

"Is the milk tea in your hand for me?"

Yao Mingyue walked over, looked at the milk tea in his bag, and asked with a smile.

"If you want to drink, take it yourself."

Xu Musen had indeed prepared one for her.

Yao Mingyue quickly spotted her favorite flavor, leaned in, and reached into the bag to grab her milk tea.

She also leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "Thanks, Brother Musen~"

Xu Musen felt his skin crawl as he looked at Yao Mingyue, now donning a mature and sophisticated style.

This inexplicable contrast made Xu Musen subconsciously take a step back.

"Act normal."

"I am very normal. Or could it be that you actually like when others treat you indifferently?"

Yao Mingyue took a sip of her milk tea, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, looking at him playfully, and felt as though she could almost see a little devil floating by her eyes, chanting, "Plebeian plebeian~♡︎~".

Xu Musen didn't respond, and they started heading towards the high-speed train station.

Liu Rushuang had some things to take care of and wouldn't be returning with them.

The two hopped into a taxi for the high-speed train station, where there were many students.

"Moriko!"

From afar, he saw He Qiang, that big dark guy, running towards them with a pink suitcase.

Xu Musen smiled and waved at him.

They had agreed to go home together the night before.

"He Qiang! Could you die from moving a bit slower?"

At that moment, another crisp voice came from behind He Qiang. A girl carrying a bag was also running after He Qiang.

Xu Musen couldn't help laughing when he saw the pink suitcase in He Qiang's hand; it was most certainly the girl's.

This girl had been the one who was keeping an eye on He Qiang.

"He Qiang, you work fast. Have you progressed so quickly with her?"

Xu Musen teased, patting his shoulder.

"Go on, stop teasing me, hello, Miss Yao."

He Qiang, his face turning a shade of red, greeted Yao Mingyue.

"Hello." Yao Mingyue smiled and nodded, subtly taking a step closer to Xu Musen.

He Qiang was momentarily stunned; Yao Mingyue was known for her aloofness, and there weren't many in high school who had seen her smile.

Unless it was a cold one.

But this time, Yao Mingyue's smile seemed genuine, and she was clinging to Xu Musen.

She appeared like a lovestruck girl, all sweet and dependent.

Of course, this image only manifested beside Xu Musen; to others, she still exuded a natural sense of distance.

"Hi, nice to see you."

The girl ran over; she knew Xu Musen and greeted them as well.

"Hello, my name is Xu Musen. I'm a good friend of He Qiang, and we all attended the same high school."

Xu Musen introduced himself, casually mentioning Yao Mingyue in passing.

Yao Mingyue took a step closer, gave Xu Musen a look, and curved her lips slightly.

"My name is Yao Mingyue, and I am his..."

She paused mid-sentence, letting an ambiguous atmosphere spread.

Xu Musen was speechless.

He Qiang, the consummate onlooker, swallowed hard. It seemed the love-hate story between his buddy and Yao Mingyue was heading in a peculiar direction.

The girl was slightly flushed by Yao Mingyue's bold statement.

It often took courage for a girl to outright claim she was someone's.

Xu Musen gave her a glance.

Yao Mingyue remained composed and coughed before finishing her sentence.

"His neighbor." Continue your adventure at empire

But when she said this, she glanced at Xu Musen again.

The more she explained, the darker the picture became.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Chu Wenhui, He Qiang's classmate. We're just sharing a ride home this time."

The girl introduced herself.

"From your accent, you are from Sichuan, right?"

"Yes, but this train is going through Zheng City, so it's convenient."

Chu Wenhui nodded, but He Qiang muttered a couple of words, "Even though there's a direct train, you still had me lug your suitcase..."

"What's wrong with wanting to save a bit on fares? Plus, I bought you snacks."

"You could've bought another ticket with the money you spent on snacks, what a hassle."

"Am I not allowed to be thrifty!"

He Qiang argued with the girl back and forth.

"That's so like a straight man."

Xu Musen shook his head in amusement as he listened to the two of them.

"You're no different." Yao Mingyue added a jab from the side.

Xu Musen made a 'tsk' sound, and they began to board the high-speed train.

When it came to seating, Xu Musen had intended to sit with He Qiang.

But obviously, both Yao Mingyue and Chu Wenhui had commandeered the window seats.

They had no choice but to sit opposite each other.

The two of them chatted, and Xu Musen casually brought up that he was planning to contract a milk tea shop and a takeout service at his school.

"Are you the owner of 'Auntie's Milk Tea Shop' that stirred up the forums recently?"

Chu Wenhui suddenly remembered something from their conversation.

"That's me," Xu Musen said, smiling and nodding.

"Wow, I'd never have guessed that such an amazing entrepreneur is our peer. You have my full support when you open your branch!"

"That's great, perhaps if you're interested, I'll let you manage the milk tea shop with He Qiang."

Xu Musen cheerfully offered his buddy an assist.

Chu Wenhui picked up on the implication and blushed.
