After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

She was still holding a basin in her hands.

"This is a foot-soaking basin prepared by the hotel, soak your feet."

"I still have an injury on my foot, I won't put it in the water."

"It's good to soak just one."

Yao Mingyue didn't give him the chance to refuse.

She directly placed the wooden basin in front of Xu Musen's feet.

Inside were some petals and medicinal herbs.

Xu Musen's eyebrows moved, was this... footbath water prepared for him?

For a moment he felt it was unbelievable; in his previous life, he had served Yao Mingyue tea and water quite often, even washing her feet every day.

After all, he felt reassured doing it himself when it came to food safety.

But this was the first time that she had actively brought him water to wash his feet.

Yao Mingyue took out the small medical kit that the hotel had prepared, then started to pull one of Xu Musen's legs, intending to dab it with iodine.

Xu Musen flinched, and truth be told, he felt a bit embarrassed.

"I can do it myself later."

"You won't clean it well enough, let me do it. I'm not fond of your smelly feet anyway."

Yao Mingyue hummed, but the sight of the muscle lines on Xu Musen's thigh still made her eyes shine.

In a flash, Xu Musen suddenly felt... a bit sleazy.

Wait, when he found various excuses to touch An Nuannuan's feet in the past, was he also this sleazy?

Taking advantage of his distraction, Yao Mingyue gently dabbed at the wound with a cotton swab.

"Humph, if you had just let me do it earlier, there wouldn't be a fuss, acting like a fussy woman."

Yao Mingyue's mouth grumbled, yet her hands were very meticulous.

Watching her, Xu Musen couldn't help but find her domineering and proud demeanor not at all annoying.

"Let's soak the other foot first, otherwise, the water will be cold soon."

Yao Mingyue sounded the reminder again.

Xu Musen did indeed feel a bit of fatigue in his feet. He lifted his foot and submerged it into the tub, the hot water seeming to make the veins in his foot expand.

It was indeed quite comfortable.

Xu Musen glanced at Yao Mingyue, who was wearing slippers. Despite having just showered, her feet still needed a soak to really be clean.

The small feet beneath her sandals were still pale and tender, but the toes and heels looked somewhat red.

After all that mountain climbing, it would be strange for a girl with delicately smooth skin not to be tired.

"You go soak your feet, too, and rest for a while."

"I'm a bit too lazy to move now, and moreover, there's no basin for foot-soaking in the room."

"Ask the hotel reception to send another one over."

"Forget it, the phone for the front desk is in Uncle and Auntie's room, don't disturb their sleep."

Yao Mingyue shook her head.

Xu Musen looked at her, then glanced down at the foot-soaking basin beneath his feet, and said, "Then you use this one."

Yao Mingyue's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Yeah, I'll just find any basin…"

Xu Musen intended to withdraw his foot, but before he finished speaking,

he suddenly felt two soft, tender, and white feet slip into the tub, bringing a delicate sensation mixed with the temperature of the water.

The girl's pure white feet were placed in the same wooden tub as his, their feet getting very close to each other.

Yao Mingyue's pale and delicate feet were several shades whiter than Xu Musen's, and in that moment inside the tub, they resembled Yin Yang Fish,

merged flawlessly with each other, in perfect harmony.

"Mmm~ this really is comfortable."

Yao Mingyue squinted her eyes, looking at him with a radiant smile.

"You... aren't afraid I have athlete's foot?" Xu Musen's voice was a bit shaky.

"Even if you did, I wouldn't mind, I like everything that's yours."

Yao Mingyue held her cheeks, still smiling.

Xu Musen was stunned, looking at their feet soaking together. Although they didn't touch directly, this... probably wasn't something ordinary couples would do.

After all, even if a guy didn't have athlete's foot or anything, but given the daily physical activity, his feet simply wouldn't compare to a girl's in terms of beauty.

Yet as Yao Mingyue held her cheeks, there was not a single trace of disdain in her eyes.

He looked at the now cheerful Yao Mingyue.

A warm current seemed to rise from the soles of his feet, slowly melting the cement in his heart...

The Yao Mingyue of this moment was very different from the one in the previous life.

However, sometimes he couldn't help but wonder, if that accident hadn't occurred years ago,

perhaps this willful, playful, and clingy Yao Mingyue would have been her true nature.

The tsundere temperament might just have formed gradually afterward.

A sense of lament rose in Xu Musen's heart.

The tsundere trait had overtaken the originally cute and playful nature.

Wasn't this like a celestial tribulation defeating an old friend, a Minotaur of a situation?
