After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Underneath Yao Mingyue's dormitory building.

In his last life, when Xu Musen played the role of a devoted admirer, he frequented this spot beneath the girls' dormitory even more often than he would sneak through the underdecks during CF transport ship missions.

Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue walked alongside each other on the campus roads in silence.

Xu Musen used to fantasize about walking shoulder to shoulder with Yao Mingyue on the school paths.

Bathing in the envy of those around them, reveling in the sour smell of romance.

Now, it seemed like he had achieved it.

All the way, Yao Mingyue maintained a somewhat ambiguous distance from him, occasionally brushing their clothes together.

The scorching heat of military training seemed to have little effect on the beautiful girl.

Yao Mingyue's skin was still fair, and the days of training seemed to make her already slender figure appear even more valiant and spirited.

If the school had a beauty ranking, Yao Mingyue would certainly be at the very top.

Both of them were dressed in military training uniforms.

The paths were now filled with sophomores and juniors.

When they saw Yao Mingyue and Xu Musen, they couldn't help but take several glances.

Comments such as "good cabbage has been taken by a pig" and "why isn't there such a handsome pig to go after me?" or "they're a perfect match of talent and beauty, who are you, an ugly freak, to object?" were made.

The ambiguous glances from those around her pleased Yao Mingyue, and she would occasionally look up at Xu Musen.

Although Xu Musen kept his eyes straight ahead, he could still feel the attention from the people around and Yao Mingyue.

Xu Musen stopped and turned to face Yao Mingyue, "Go upstairs, get some good rest."

Yao Mingyue stood still, gazing at him with her phoenix eyes, and suddenly smiled, "There's nobody in my room right now, do you want to come up for a drink first?"

Xu Musen's lips twitched, wasn't that line similar to the cliché a guy uses to coax a girl into his house?

"I guess your next line is, 'My cat can do backflips,' right?"

"Take good care of yourself in the future, don't worry Aunt Liu."

Thinking of today's events and seeing the injury on her arm, Xu Musen couldn't bring himself to be too harsh with Yao Mingyue.

"Then, would you worry about me?" Yao Mingyue did not seem to care about the injury on her body at all and instead asked him with a smile.

"Better to love oneself than to love someone else, goodbye."

Leaving behind those words, Xu Musen turned and left.

Yao Mingyue watched his departing figure before finally lowering her head to look at the wound on her arm.

If it were any other girl, she would surely be upset about such an unsightly wound.

But Ming Yue's lips curled into a smile—the wound hardly mattered, given that this was the first time he took the initiative to escort her back to her dormitory building since college began.

The injury was worth it.

...

Meanwhile, Lin Daiyu and An Nuannuan had arrived at the infirmary. An Nuannuan looked at the people lying on the beds, each with a pained expression and red faces groaning in discomfort.

Some were so severe that they would vomit and faint, listless and depleted.

An Nuannuan's small face immediately became worried—everyone here was in such a state, surely Xu Musen must be suffering too.

"Xu Musen..."

She rushed to search for him, but after scanning the area and not seeing his figure, her heart grew even more anxious.

She called out his name over and over, holding a jar of mung bean soup as she checked each bed.

"Don't panic just yet, maybe Xu Musen has already recovered and gone back," Lin Daiyu suggested, seeing An Nuannuan's frantic search, like a kitten that can't find its owner, meowing repeatedly in a way that tugged heartstrings.

"Are you looking for Xu Musen?" asked a doctor making his rounds upon hearing the name brought up.

"Yes, yes, do you know where he went?" Lin Daiyu asked eagerly.

"He woke up a while ago, seems like a case of recurrent heatstroke, his counselor let him take a break from military training and go back to his dormitory to rest; he left with a girl."

"With a girl..."

Lin Daiyu muttered to herself, although she recalled that it was his roommates who had helped him get there.

Her eyes paused. Suddenly, she remembered that tall figure with the phoenix eyes.

"That girl, does she happen to be very tall and have a pair of phoenix eyes?" she inquired tentatively, but then she realized that An Nuannuan was standing right next to her.

"Yes, a very pretty girl. The two of them must be boyfriend and girlfriend, as the girl was taking care of him the whole time," the doctor replied, nodding.

Beautiful people always leave a strong impression.

Lin Daiyu froze for a moment.

The moment Xu Musen fainted, she rushed to the infirmary to take care of him—it seemed too much of a coincidence.

If it wasn't just a coincidence, did that mean Xu Musen was still entangled with his childhood sweetheart, secretly meeting up here?

Lin Daiyu took a deep breath and looked down at An Nuannuan.

The girl had been enduring the intense sun every day in a wheelchair, bringing him mung bean soup. Could she really cope with this?

Sure enough, An Nuannuan sat quietly in her wheelchair, looking zoned out for quite some time.

"Um, Nuannuan," Lin Daiyu began, unable to stop herself from wanting to comfort her.

But An Nuannuan was looking at the doctor and asked, "Does Xu Musen need medicine? I'll go buy it for him."

Both the doctor and Lin Daiyu were taken aback.

Looking at this naïve and somewhat dazed girl before them.

Lin Daiyu inwardly sighed—what kind of magic did this playboy possess to have led her on like this?

"No need for medicine; it's just a normal case of heatstroke. He'll be fine with some herbal drinks like Huoxiang Zhengqi water," the doctor explained.

"Would mung bean soup be okay?"
