After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

The night was still and quiet.

Yao Mingyue held An Nuannuan's discarded bunny cosplay outfit, pinching the realistically shaped rabbit ears.

She looked over at Xu Musen, her phoenix eyes sparkling with a hint of danger.

She took in a few deep breaths with a bit of force.

Thankfully, there didn't seem to be any odd scents in the air...

"These are all for today's event."

Xu Musen's cosplay interests were wide-ranging, but feeling a bit of shame was inevitable when someone familiar knew about it.

In fact, it was from Yao Mingyue that Xu Musen had come to enjoy cosplay.

In their previous life, whenever Yao Mingyue was in the mood, she would don various costumes to play something different with him.

Often times, she would get Xu Musen to participate as well.

What he found most embarrassing was the time she put a drool bib and a baby hat on him, and then Yao Mingyue played the role of a nanny...

Every time he thought about it, Xu Musen still wanted to find a hole to crawl into from embarrassment.

"Haha, so the cosplay fun has made its way to bed?"

Yao Mingyue plainly didn't believe it; the scent of An Nuannuan still lingered on the cosplay outfit.

A woman's fragrance is her second face, especially between rivals in love, the scent on the other person could be distinctly detected, even if it's just a little bit.

Xu Musen didn't bother explaining; she wasn't there to listen to explanations anyway.

"What did you want to see me for?"

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong? You're now my sworn brother, can't I come to chat or scrounge a cup of milk tea?"

Yao Mingyue put down the rabbit ears in her hands and sat directly on the bed.

The two had been childhood friends, and now they also adopted the identity of sworn siblings.

It felt a bit strange knowing this since, in their past life, the two were a couple.

Before, she could treat him as a current boyfriend, but now suddenly they were brother and sister, and it gave her a surreal feeling, almost like "German Orthopedic," as they say.

Moreover, the status of their relationship was already made very clear.

If they couldn't be lovers, at least they wanted to preserve the emotions of childhood friends.

Xu Musen fancied himself a righteous gentleman, upright and not worried about his shadow being crooked.

Yao Mingyue watched him, in this ambiguous little room, the two of them were slightly silent.

"The New Year is approaching, how do you plan to return home?"

In fact, Yao Mingyue wanted to ask him directly if he would take An Nuannuan home, but when the words reached her mouth, she felt that asking so bluntly would make it look like she cared too much, like she couldn't afford to lose.

"I've bought a car, I'll probably drive back."

Xu Musen thought, the car would be delivered in the next few days, just in time for driving home for the New Year.

His family had been humiliated since going bankrupt, and both Father Xu and Mother Xu felt they couldn't lift their heads.

They used to be respected figures among relatives, but after the catastrophe, all the people who used to flock around suddenly pretended not to know them, afraid that Father Xu and Mother Xu would ask them for money.

When rich, one has many friends in prosperity, but in adversity, one is powerless and friendless.

That's just human nature.

Although life had gradually improved over the years, and they had gotten used to such life,

both Father Xu and Mother Xu still felt guilty as they could bear the humiliation themselves, but it felt like their child had been wronged.

Similarly, Xu Musen understood his parents' difficulties.

Xu Musen was not someone who liked to flaunt wealth or show off, but there's a saying online.

When you drive a BBA back home, what straightens up isn't just a car, but also the parents' spines that have been bent for many years.

Xu Musen wanted to make his parents happy, to show them that their family was truly beginning to prosper.

Isn't that one of the greatest purposes of being reborn?

"By yourself?"

Yao Mingyue watched his face light up with a confident smile, which made him look even more handsome.

But the more handsome he became, the sourer Yao Mingyue felt in her heart.

Why does he have to be so handsome now? It'd be better if he were less attractive, then no one would compete with her for him...

She really wanted to secretly hide him away, to be the only one to fancy him.

"Probably. Nuannuan needs to recuperate this year, she can't return to Zheng City."

Xu Musen spoke slowly.

Yao Mingyue's eyes instantly lit up, "It's more than a thousand kilometers from Huhai to Zheng City, what if you get sleepy driving alone? You could also have someone meet you halfway to give you water and chat to relieve the boredom..."

The more Yao Mingyue spoke, the more excited her phoenix eyes became, and her self-promotion scheme was ringing loud and clear.

Xu Musen looked at her and after a bit of thought, nodded earnestly, "You're right, I'll ask He Qiang if he has any plans to hitch a ride back."

"Xu Musen!!"

Yao Mingyue, furious, sprang up from the bed and immediately went forward to pinch the tender flesh around Xu Musen's waist.

Xu Musen immediately grabbed her wrist and, seeing her in such a fit, couldn't help but laugh, "Why so flustered?"

"You're the one who's blind!"

Yao Mingyue was so angry that she puffed up like a spiky, poisonous pufferfish.

"I don't care, don't invite He Qiang; he's with that girl now, don't disturb people in their love affairs!"

Yao Mingyue found herself a good reason.

Xu Musen looked at her, "As you said, the trip from Huhai to Zheng City is tough, it's only an hour and a half by plane, you don't need to suffer through a car ride."

"I want to! Can't I save some money on airfare?"

"Miss Yao, are you really short on that bit of airfare money?"

Xu Musen couldn't help but show a mix of amusement and disbelief; after all, she would casually spend the equivalent of an airfare on a hydrating water facemask.
