I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 289: Confess and want to take responsibility for the scumbag Xu.

The night breeze is gentle, it's April.

The riverside of Shanghai is very comfortable. This quiet beach is now lit with warm candlelight.

Yao Mingyue changed into a white dress. She seldom wore skirts in recent years, and her usual attire always gave adults a mature look that made them feel at ease.

But she is still only an eighteen-year-old girl after all. Her long skirt flutters, and the white hem of her skirt sways slightly in the night, making her look even more gentle and beautiful.

The candlelight illuminated her beautiful face. The girl was smiling, holding a not-so-big cake with only one candle on it. She hummed the Happy Birthday song softly and walked step by step to Xu Musen.

Xu Musen sat on the beach, watching Yao Mingyue coming towards him. Wearing a long dress, she seemed to have returned to her former lively and cheerful self.

"Happy birthday, Xu Musen."

Yao Mingyue came to Xu Musen with a cake and sat down with him.

"My birthday has passed for several days." Xu Musen looked at her.

"It doesn't count if I don't give it to you alone!"

Yao Mingyue held the cake in front of Xu Musen and said, "In the past, you and I have always spent time together alone. I don't want to be absent in the future."

Yao Mingyue's tone seemed to be intentionally imitating An Nuannuan's words a few days ago.

Xu Musen could naturally hear it. He smiled and looked at the cake in front of him: "Did you make this yourself?"

"How did you tell?"

Yao Mingyue's eyes lit up. The small cake in her hand was indeed the one she had practiced making over and over again over the past few days.

"Do you want me to tell the truth or lie?" Xu Musen smiled and kept the question in suspense.

"Let's hear the truth first."

"To be honest, if any cake shop had this kind of craftsmanship, it would have closed down long ago."

Xu Musen pointed at the crooked handwriting and patterns written on the cake.

Yao Mingyue blushed in embarrassment. She was not good at cooking to begin with. It was already very good that she could make it like this after practicing for a few days!

"You are the one who went bankrupt! Then what is your lie?"

Yao Mingyue sharpened her little fangs and was determined to bite him if he didn’t say something nice!
"Lies, maybe it's just that we have a telepathic connection."

Xu Musen chuckled and said, "But I think this is also true."

After all, they have been childhood sweethearts for so many years, so it is certain that they have a tacit understanding.

Yao Mingyue's little canine teeth, which had just shone with a cold light, seemed to soften a little at this moment.

She really liked such words, which were a tacit understanding unique to them.

And it has been a long time since he said such words to himself.

Yao Mingyue felt a little fluttery for a moment. She looked at Xu Musen's warm face and pursed her lips slightly: "So you can say nice things too. I thought you would be nicer to her now..."

Xu Musen looked at her blushing face, and his heart became calmer: "You have helped me make the cake, if I still find fault with it, wouldn't it make me look like I have no emotional intelligence?"

"Humph, your emotional intelligence isn't that high to begin with. Never mind, I'll let you get away with it this time."

Yao Mingyue didn't even realize that she was becoming easier and easier to coax.

Just like a starving person won't be picky about food.

I am happy just to fill my stomach.

"Why is there only one candle?"

Xu Musen looked at the only burning candle.

"Because I said, this is your birthday alone."

Yao Mingyue spoke softly, the evening breeze making her hair a little messy.

"A lot of things happened this year. I lost a lot, but also seemed to have gained a lot. I was unwilling to accept it at the beginning, and I still am unwilling to accept it now, but I can slowly accept a lot of things... In short, this year we all seem to have been reborn, and we all have a completely different life compared to before, whether it's you, me, or An Nuannuan..."

As Yao Mingyue spoke, she raised her eyes. Under the light of the cake candles, the girl's eyes seemed to sway, as if illuminating the depths of her heart.

Xu Musen was a little dazed at this moment. Yes, he was reborn, and he thought that the only destiny that could be changed in this life was his own.

But later, with the appearance of An Nuannuan and the transformation of Yao Mingyue, it seemed that they had experienced a rebirth, just for this perfect encounter.

If they really were...

A slightly cool little hand gently rested on his cheek.

Yao Mingyue faced the candlelight and smiled brightly at Xu Musen: "So, this can be considered as our first birthday as a new student."

Yao Mingyue's smile seemed a bit beautiful at the moment. Her pair of almond-shaped eyes flashed with rare tenderness, but also with a complex feeling of worry and loss.

Xu Musen's heart seemed to be hit hard by something.

"Make a wish first. Look how proud you are that you can make two wishes this year."

Yao Mingyue, however, took the initiative to look away and held the cake in front of Xu Musen.

Xu Musen looked at the crudely made cake with crooked handwriting on it.

"Happy first birthday to us~"

Xu Musen smiled, looked at the candlelight, and made a wish...

What other wishes can I make?

Xu Musen glanced at Yao Mingyue, and suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, if he was reborn after he had married Yao Mingyue.

Then what should I do?

Anyway, it will definitely be different.

Xu Musen slowly closed his eyes. This wish was about her.

Xu Musen slowly opened his eyes and met Yao Mingyue's expectant gaze.

"What wish did you make?"

"If you say your wish, it won't work."

"I even made a wish for you that you would never see me again. Maybe this time your wish will come true."

Yao Mingyue suddenly spoke, and Xu Musen raised his eyes and looked at her, without saying anything, just smiling slightly.

"Hehe, what a pity, you no longer have the chance to make a wish!"

Yao Mingyue looked at him and suddenly felt that if this guy smiled, something bad might happen. It was as if he was directing and acting in his own drama, talking to himself, with a hint of sourness in his arrogance.

Yao Mingyue would not give up on him, but she also knew that many things could not be solved by her wishful thinking.

Being tsundere is sometimes just a way of making oneself look less terrible when one is really helpless.

Anyway, even if he really wished for her to disappear, she would not obey him...

But her imagination had not yet ended, as she suddenly felt a warm big hand gently covering her cheek.

Her body trembled and she looked up to meet Xu Musen's smile.

"But I don't want you to disappear from my side now. You're right. Since we have a chance to start over, let's start over. No matter if we are childhood sweethearts, or that little follower, or... many other identities in the past, at least I still like the current sister Mingyue very much."

Xu Musen smiled. After saying this, he actually felt somewhat relieved and relaxed.

Yao Mingyue's body trembled slightly. She had heard Xu Musen's confession of love to her many times, but none of them made her more excited than these words that could not be considered a confession.

She looked at Xu Musen, feeling the warmth of his palm on her cheek. Yao Mingyue suddenly felt a soreness in her nose and she sniffed.

"You damn scumbag, who wants to be your sister? Can't you just say that you like this girl named Yao Mingyue?"

Yao Mingyue bit her lower lip. How could this guy be so arrogant even though he was a scumbag? Couldn’t he just say it directly?
Xu Musen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously pinched her beautiful cheek, and said with a smile: "But my love for that girl named Yao Mingyue is indeed not as much as my sister Mingyue."

"Then I also want you to like me, Yao Mingyue! Even a little bit, and I don't want you to fool us like this anymore. I was like this before... and I missed a lot."

Yao Mingyue looked a little excited. She reached out and grabbed Xu Musen's hand. She used to be like this, always saying that she wanted to treat him as her brother. If she had confessed her feelings earlier, they might have been together a long time ago.

Xu Musen looked at her and slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "But I can't answer you now. I'm afraid of delaying you."

It wasn't that Xu Musen didn't like Yao Mingyue, but he didn't want two people to torture each other when they obviously liked each other.

Xu Musen was not making excuses for being a scumbag, but if he was asked to say that he didn't like Yao Mingyue, he couldn't say such a thing against his will. However, now that An Nuannuan was here, Xu Musen's feelings for An Nuannuan were no less than anyone else's.

Some things cannot be changed whether he wants to or not.

It is easy to like someone, and even easy to get someone, but you have to give an explanation to the other person, be responsible for her, and give her a home...

This is the hardest thing.

In this era, it is not uncommon for a man with money and good looks to have several partners at the same time. Xu Musen can attract many girls easily if he wants.

But Xu Musen always felt that if you want it, you must first be able to give the other person a stable future.

They are still too young now and everything is still uncertain. Xu Musen has no way to give Yao Mingyue the future she wants.

Moreover, his mother told him what happened that year, and he also felt responsible for Yao Mingyue becoming that yandere person.

They owed Yao Mingyue's family. Although debt did not necessarily mean there had to be affection, Xu Musen was willing to love her a little more.

"I know, I know what you're going to say. I'm not thinking about what I want right now. After all, even if we're together, we might still break up or get divorced. Instead of that, it's better to take it slow... Besides, I may not necessarily want to share you with others. I'm a petty person."

Yao Mingyue said that she would never say these words before, and she would even choose to lock Xu Musen in the basement, making him forget all women and only love her.

At this moment, she looked at Xu Musen: "But at least you finally said that you still like me, I'm so happy."

She is so easily satisfied now.

Xu Musen didn't say anything, but just held her hand silently. In his life plan, there was now a vacant position.

However, as soon as Xu Musen closed his eyes, he seemed to see the old man and An Nannan, pushing the dog-head guillotine and Guan Gong's sword from the left and right, coming towards him to take his life.

Xu Musen smiled helplessly.

"Musen..."

"Ok?"

Xu Musen looked down and saw the girl moving her body and leaning closely against him. The candlelight was about to burn out.

"I don't want you to give me anything right now, but can you, today..."

In this last luster, the girl in a white dress had red eyes and eyebrows, and her cheeks were also covered with a hazy luster that made people have infinite reverie.

She slowly raised her head, and her almond-shaped eyes slowly closed. The girl's white neck was raised, and her soft and pink lips were particularly attractive under the candlelight.

The distance between the two people was such that Xu Musen only needed to lower his head to taste the familiar sweetness that he had been away from for a long time.

Yao Mingyue closed her eyes, she didn't open them. Yes, she was a little afraid, for she was afraid that he would reject her again.

But the next moment, she felt something soft and delicate on her lips, and a little hard...it must be teeth.

Hmm... why is it so sweet?

She was just about to take the next step. She was very familiar with Xu Musen's body.

However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt something even sweeter, and this feeling was wrong...

She opened her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were sticky and white.

Xu Musen looked at her with a smile.

His fingers scooped up some cream and dotted it on her lips.

"Wow, you like cream so much that you're so greedy for it." Xu Musen couldn't help but smile.

"you…"

Yao Mingyue felt like she was being fooled. Her face turned red. Thinking back to her actions just now, it was as if she was turning blue in front of a birthday cake!
She felt a little bit aggrieved in her shame. She had given it to him for nothing and didn't even want him to take any responsibility now, but he still did this!
"Xu Musen! You bastard..."

The words in Yao Mingyue's mouth stopped abruptly and finally turned into a gulping sound.

Xu Musen pinched her chin, leaned over and lowered his head...

But he just kissed her forehead.

Just like when they were children, Xu Musen would comfort her in this way when she encountered thundery weather.

Yao Mingyue felt that she shouldn't be satisfied. They had done everything together in their previous life, and all she needed was a little kiss.

It's just a kiss on the forehead, how can it be satisfying? There should be no feeling at all!

But the fact is that Yao Mingyue felt soft all over, and the warmth from her forehead instantly invaded her brain, seeming to control all her actions instantly.

Ah, what a loser. I must have been too sensitive at the age of 18. It was just a small kiss on the forehead...

One kiss and then release.

Xu Musen looked at the girl who was limp in his arms. He smiled gently, "But I have never been someone who can be irresponsible, Yao Mingyue. I am not a good person, but I am a serious person. If we really have a future together, I will take advantage of you again."

Yao Mingyue looked at him for a long time, and finally pursed her lips and said softly: "You have the desire but not the courage..."

Xu Musen smiled.

The candles were extinguished, and the light here was dim, but the tall buildings in the distance were reflected on the surface of the river, giving a somewhat sparkling feeling.

Xu Musen was holding the cake, with Yao Mingyue lying in his arms.

"Xu Musen, I want to ask you another question."

"You said."

"You said before that you were a reborn person. If you were reborn when we were in college and got married, would you still leave me behind to find your lovely little Nuan Nuan?"

Yao Mingyue scooped up some cream with her fingers, gently held it in her mouth and asked.

Unexpectedly, she would also think of this question. Xu Musen thought about it, if he was really reborn after the two of them had already gotten married.

Xu Musen still had no way of abandoning her, as for Nuannuan...

Xu Musen thought about it and looked at Yao Mingyue again.

"I can see the lustful look in your eyes that shows I want to cheat on you!" Yao Mingyue bit her lip.

So you want both, right?

Xu Musen shook his head and smiled: "What do you think?"

"I...I was originally the original wife!"

Yao Mingyue had to protect her teeth, and the cake in her mouth didn't taste so sour.

"In any case, I will choose to discover your inner problems earlier. At least, I will live a happier life than before."

Xu Musen said slowly that in fact, their life was still very good in the first two years of their marriage, but later on she became more and more extreme.

If I could have corrected this yandere habit earlier, I might have been very happy in my previous life.

"So, I didn't lose to anyone, it's just that at the important moment in your life... the order of appearance was at a disadvantage."

As Yao Mingyue spoke, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She scooped up a piece of cake and handed it to Xu Musen's mouth.

Xu Musen lowered his head and took a bite of it.

"Why are you asking these questions all of a sudden?"

Xu Musen also always felt that Yao Mingyue seemed to often talk about him as a reborn person.

Moreover, there were a few questions that...Xu Musen didn't remember telling her, such as the date of his marriage to her.

How did she know it was after graduation?
Xu Musen suddenly felt a little confused, but he felt that it was unlikely. If she knew all this, or if she was also reborn, with her personality, how could she allow An Nuannuan to approach him in the first place?

Yao Mingyue just looked at him, and finally smiled: "Kiss me, and I'll tell you."

She touched her lips, and the little bit of cream on her fingertips still hung on the edge of her lips, which was particularly tempting.

"Then I'm not curious anymore."

"Xu Musen, this is all you can do!"

The two looked at each other for a moment and smiled at each other.

The two people's voices echoed far away along the river bank, as if they were answered across the distance of two lifetimes.

The wind tonight is particularly gentle~
