After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

But the scent on the other person seemed a bit off.

An Nuannuan's scent was that of a milky sweetness combined with fruit.

Yet, the scent he was smelling now was a very familiar floral fragrance.

The same as Yao Mingyue's...

He slowly opened his eyes to see a graceful figure before him, her long hair tied into a ponytail, and those phoenix-like eyes.

Wait a minute!

Xu Musen instantly became alert, and it really was Yao Mingyue!

"You..." Xu Musen was just about to speak when he saw

And at that moment, Yao Mingyue was gently holding the back of his head and had already stuffed a small bottle into his mouth, the bitter taste of herbal medicine flooding his taste buds.

"Take the medicine first."

Seeing him awake, Yao Mingyue finally let go of her concern, her previously flustered expression now returning to its usual coolness.

Xu Musen subconsciously remembered that in his past life, after drinking a glass of red wine she gave him, he never woke up again.

This time she came directly to feed him medicine?

Xu Musen faintly heard a sequence of voices.

Elder brother, it's time for your medicine~

Xu Musen grunted, and a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid was downed, the bitterness causing his brows to furrow.

Xu Musen sat up and coughed once.

He looked at Yao Mingyue with a bit of wariness, "Why are you here?"

Yao Mingyue pursed her lips and silently put away the Huoxiang Zhengqi bottle.

"What happened to your arm?" Xu Musen's gaze fell on the several scratches on her fair arm.

Although not severe, they stood out strikingly on her flawless arm.

"This young lady came straight here to find you, ignoring her own injuries, and took care of you throughout. Such a good girl is hard to come by."

The doctor came over to check on Xu Musen upon seeing him awake and remarked with a sigh. He handed over a cotton swab soaked in iodine, giving him a suggestive look.

Xu Musen paused, his gaze returning to Yao Mingyue's expressionless face.

He remained silent for a moment, feeling somewhat complicated.

Although the possessiveness of a sickly lover can be suffocating.

On the other hand, a sickly lover can provide all-around, flawless protection for the person they admire.

Xu Musen looked at her familiar face and asked in a voice that only they could hear, "Did you inflict those wounds on your arm yourself?"

Yao Mingyue was not one to self-harm, but she might indeed do something extreme for Xu Musen.

Yao Mingyue did not respond, simply looking down in silence, "I'm fine."

That somewhat aggrieved yet stubborn look gave Xu Musen a glimpse of a side of her he had not seen before.

"Give me your hand."

"Huh?" Yao Mingyue was taken aback.

Xu Musen didn't waste words, reaching out to grasp her soft wrist directly, taking the iodine, dabbed the cotton swab and gently touched her wounds.

"Hiss..."

Yao Mingyue couldn't help but cringe slightly, yet her gaze, fixed on his hand holding her wrist, shone with a special light.

"Yao Mingyue, no matter what happens between us, don't do this in the future, not just for yourself but also for Aunt Liu to consider. She has only you for a daughter."

"But I think, perhaps my mom would prefer a son-in-law."

Finally, Yao Mingyue spoke, her gaze burning bright, without a hint of avoidance or shyness.

Xu Musen ignored her, meticulously cleaning her wounds with iodine.

One good turn deserves another, and that was that.

"Xu Musen... Ming Yue? You are both here."

Right then, Bai Xin also hurried over to the infirmary.

She was surprised to see the two sitting together.

"Oh, Ming Yue, what happened to your arm?" Bai Xin noticed her injured arm and immediately came over with concern.

"I'm fine, Miss Bai, I just fell down by accident," Yao Mingyue shook her head.

"You're such a careless child, and besides, I'm not your counselor, just call me Aunt Bai."

Bai Xin caressed her head with concern.

Xu Musen rolled his eyes to the side, wasn't it agreed to call each other by their titles at school?

"Teacher, I have heatstroke, I feel like I can't hold on, can I apply for a temporary suspension of military training?"

Xu Musen also hurriedly pretended to be out of breath.

Bai Xin looked at his feigned weakness, and even though she knew he would pull a stunt like this, she was there specifically to deal with it today.

"Alright, I'll apply for you, and Ming Yue doesn't need to participate in military training today either. I'll talk to your counselor, and you two should go back to your dormitory to rest first, Xu Musen, you can take Ming Yue back later."

Bai Xin whispered the instructions, touched Yao Mingyue's head once more, offered a few words of comfort, and then went to find a doctor for a certificate.

Having achieved his goal, Xu Musen naturally didn't need to keep up the pretense.

Yao Mingyue was also starting to see through the tricks, looking at Xu Musen, she pursed her lips.

Xu Musen felt a bit embarrassed, and although it wasn't his fault, Yao Mingyue did get hurt in a rush because of him.

"Cough, actually…"

"It's fine."

Yao Mingyue shook her head, stood up, quietly gazed at Xu Musen, and her lips parted slightly, "As long as you're okay, I don't mind."

Xu Musen: ...

For some reason, even though he knew she might be acting, the more she behaved like this, the more guilty he actually felt.

"Forget it, I'll take you back first."

Xu Musen scratched his head and stood up.

"If you're busy with something else, just go ahead, you don't need to worry about me."

Yao Mingyue shook her head again.

Xu Musen rubbed his temples, "Enough already, if we don't go now, I really won't take you."

"I know, no need to be so fierce…"

Yao Mingyue, with her lips pursed, had a somewhat wronged expression which made all the other college students who were just feeling dizzy from heatstroke wish they could stand up and punch Xu Musen, the ungrateful jerk.

A beautiful girl is taking care of you without regard for her own health, and yet you're not appreciative?

Xu Musen lamented in his heart, every girl is truly born with the talent for acting; he turned and headed for the door.

Better to get her back quickly and end this karma.

And Yao Mingyue, following behind, saw his helpless figure, but couldn't help a slight smile on her lips.

Indeed, sometimes changing the approach yields greater results.

The best offense is perhaps a proactive surrender?

...

During the break on the sports field, An Nuannuan had already arrived to deliver green bean soup to Xu Musen.

However, upon reaching the class, she still hadn't spotted Xu Musen.

"Eh eh, that big, careless girl has come looking for Xu Musen again."

The classmates all turned to look.

It was then Lin Daiyu stood up, approached An Nuannuan, and came to her side.

"Are you looking for Xu Musen?"

"Yeah, yeah, do you know where he is?"

An Nuannuan asked her, holding the green bean soup in her hands.

"He felt a bit unwell just now, he should still be in the infirmary, uh..."

Lin Daiyu didn't finish her sentence, and An Nuannuan's typically dull, cute face now unusually showed a sign of nervousness.

She hurried towards the exit in her wheelchair, but after going a bit of a distance, she realized she didn't know where the infirmary was.

She could only come back, tugged at the hem of Lin Daiyu's clothes, and her cute, bewildered face now wore a look of anxious pleading, "Can you... take me to find him?"

Lin Daiyu looking at her little expression felt her heart melting.

Xu Musen, that scoundrel, if he doesn't sweet-talk her into being his girlfriend after this, then it's truly against all reason.
