I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 368 Zhu Yulan's Confession (7k subscription request! The resurrection match was really won!)
"First of all, you are a good person..."

The power of the nice guy card is sometimes more hurtful than a direct rejection.

Zhu Yulan is such a person. She bit Xu Musen's shoulder, and Xu Musen pushed her slightly in pain.

"No, just listen to me first."

"What did I hear you say? I heard you say hypocritically that you are a good person, but we are not suitable for each other, and you will definitely find someone better in the future, right?"

Zhu Yulan looked like she was drunk at this moment, her bright eyes were red, and her whole body looked like a bloated puffer fish.

She was a little frustrated.

friendzoned?
I am not Zhao Lianmai, so I won’t be fooled by his good guy card!

Xu Musen really had no way to refute at this moment. After all, this matter happened too suddenly. He was indeed planning to give her a good guy card after a good talk.

But I didn't expect it to be intercepted directly.

Zhu Yulan lay in Xu Musen's arms, grabbed his collar, bit her lips and said with great resentment: "I can't even get a scumbag like you, and you still talk about meeting someone better? I don't care, I finally said this... You have to give me a good answer!"

Xu Musen looked at her, who was obviously full of grievances but was forcing herself to hold on, and unexpectedly found her quite cute...

"Then let me speak first."

Xu Musen slowly moved his shoulders. The bite just now was quite strong. This girl really likes to bite people at every turn.

"Then you say it, but if you mention any good people again... I will bite you!"

Zhu Yulan threatened him with bared teeth, but her soft body did not move out of his arms at all.

Xu Musen knew that he couldn't pull her away now, so he could only let her hold him like this for now.

He took a deep breath and looked at the girl in his arms, whose eyes were red with tears and whose eyelashes were trembling slightly due to nervousness.

"What I just wanted to say is that you are a good... a very good person."

Xu Musen had just said the word "good" when he heard the sound of the other party grinding his teeth. He immediately coughed and changed his words.

"It's just that there are too many people around me, and saying some things will only make you feel more wronged..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhu Yulan again.

"Xu Musen...if you are married to Nuannuan or Mingyue now, and the other one of them appears at this time, can you still say that the space around you is too crowded?"

The girl's eyes were so hot that it was impossible to ignore them. Xu Musen was silent for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "This is different..."

"What's the difference? Stop using those excuses to lie to others. You are a scumbag! And you are still trying to placate yourself! Placing plaques on yourself!"

Zhu Yulan clenched her fists and hit him. As she hit him, tears welled up in her eyes again. She knew that there was no crowding at all, it was just that she was not important enough.

Yes, one of them is the girlfriend who came from heaven, and the other is the inseparable childhood sweetheart.

How could she, an outsider and a person in unrequited love, have so much weight?

Zhu Yulan felt that the things in front of her were starting to get wet again. She pounded her chest, and a tear fell uncontrollably.

"Since you are already a scumbag, why don't you scum me too!"

Zhu Yulan's appearance at this moment is really heartbreaking.

How much courage must it take for a daughter of a wealthy Shanghai family to say something like "Come and cheat on me" to a boy?

The words that Xu Musen was about to say were choked back by her desperate tone.

He patted Zhu Yulan's back gently: "It is precisely because you are so kind that I can't do anything to you easily."

Indeed, Zhu Yulan is a very outstanding girl.

Whether it is her figure, appearance, personal ability, or family background, it can be said that she will be sought after by thousands of people wherever she is.

For ordinary people, let alone being a scumbag to her, being able to be friends with her is a luxury.

"Is it because you can't, or because you don't want to? Or do you think I'm not attractive enough to be cheated on by you?" Zhu Yulan leaned close to Xu Musen. With her disheveled hair, she looked like a female ghost, with resentful eyes.

"No, you're attractive."

"That's your incompetence!"

"???"

Xu Musen was choked: "That's not the problem."

"So, you still don't want to?"

Zhu Yulan bit her lip and stared at him closely: "Xu Musen, just tell me... do you like me a little bit? Not the kind of like as a friend, but the kind of like as a person, Zhu Yulan... even if it's just a little bit..."

There was almost a hint of pleading in Zhu Yulan's voice, wanting to get even the slightest humble answer.

Xu Musen stared at her quietly. From the time they met until now, they had experienced many ups and downs together.

Human hearts are complex and pure, and the word "like" has never been a single aspect, but more like a complex combination.

Some people are so appealing to you that you can't suppress your love for them at just one glance.

There are also some people who have gone through ups and downs in their lives. If you ask them about their feelings, they can't explain it. Perhaps all that is left is habit and companionship.

Does Xu Musen like Zhu Yulan, even a little bit?

Xu Musen looked into her eyes, and finally gently wiped the tears from her eyes: "This question is not fair to you. I want to ask you first, why do you like me, a scumbag who has no identity, no background, but is just a little luckier, and whose private life is not clean?"

Xu Musen's tone was gentle. At this point, continuing to play dumb would only hurt her more.

Zhu Yulan also felt the change in his tone. Although she had not received any promise yet, she finally felt a little comforted in her heart.

She slowly straightened up from Xu Musen's arms, looking at the face in front of her that often appeared in her dreams recently, Zhu Yulan narrowed her red eyes slightly.

"I don't know... when exactly I started to like you. I only remember the first time we met. At that time, we had just entered university and were still competitors. I offered you two hundred thousand yuan to withdraw from the competition, but you rejected me without hesitation. You told me to fight for what I wanted, and I would accept it even if I lost.

You are the first boy who rejected me like this. Since when did you leave such an ungrateful shadow in my heart? Of course, the only bad impression left at that time was that you would cheat me again and again... After all, it was a certain bastard who always appeared in front of me from time to time, and found all kinds of reasons to trick me into doing things for him, but in the end he just treated me to a KFC meal to perfunctorily deal with me. Who am I, and you treated me to KFC?"

Zhu Yulan felt that she was really out of her mind at the beginning. Many people tried their best to invite her out to eat delicacies but she didn't even want to pay attention. But Xu Musen was the only one who actually thought of inviting her to KFC?
Moreover, she had no courage to agree to it!

Zhu Yulan's tone gradually became steady, but there was still resentment in her tone: "It was obviously you who provoked me first..."

Xu Musen scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly. In fact, at that time he was still a real man who claimed that he would not live off women.

But later I found out that there are so many freeloaders around me...

Moreover, at that time, Xu Musen really took advantage of her a lot. Basically, he would ask her for help whenever he wanted to do something. As a result, the relationship between the two of them gradually became better and better.

By this calculation, it was Xu Musen who took the initiative to provoke her.

Is this a passive skill of a scumbag?

"Although you were really annoying at that time, your freedom and unrestrained personality, your gentle personality, and your hopeful look are what I lack and yearn for the most..."

"Am I as good as you say? I remember you used to call me the King of Tricks every day."

Xu Musen felt a little embarrassed by the girl's fiery eyes.

"You are quite mean. You are so vindictive towards others, but you are so nice to those around you, especially Nuannuan..."

When Zhu Yulan said this, her tone was still somewhat sour and yearning: "You treated Nuannuan like you gave her all the tenderness in the world. She needed you to push her when she walked, to feed her when she ate, and she was also the proprietress of the first milk tea shop... Every time you saw Nuannuan, the love and doting in your eyes could almost drown me!"

"The most important thing is... when Nuannuan is by your side, you may not feel it, but as an observer, we can see that Nuannuan is quiet and a little cold in front of others. She is very smart. I even think that she can easily see through people with just one or two words from time to time..."

As Zhu Yulan spoke, she recalled several times when An Nuannuan had said things to her and Yao Mingyue. They were so sharp and every word was truly hurtful.

She felt like a clown whose disguise had been exposed, and was being plotted against clearly by the warm-hearted Batman who came from the sky.

"Is Nuannuan as powerful as you say?" Xu Musen smiled.

Zhu Yulan bit her lip. "She only looks silly in front of you, because she doesn't have to worry about anything when she's with you. You push her when she walks, and you hold her when she goes downstairs. It's not an exaggeration to say that she has everything she wants... Someone really holds her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and holds her in his mouth for fear of melting her. The feeling of being completely protected and being able to act like a child without restraint is really enviable..."

As Zhu Yulan spoke, the marks of biting her lips became more serious, and her cheeks flushed with shame and resentment. She looked at Xu Musen: "So, when you and Nuannuan are showing off their love, sometimes I will... put myself in Nuannuan's role, and then..."

Xu Musen's eyes widened.

Looking at the girl's cheeks in front of me, which were flushed like she was drunk, I wondered if it was because of the chocolate with liquor in it that made her so intoxicated.

In short, such shameful words were actually spoken by this arrogant rich girl herself.

Isn’t this... just that YY?
Xu Musen always felt that although he was only in love with Nuannuan, it was as if he had turned on the automatic strategy of range attack.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that An Nuannuan was like this in her previous life. She watched his and Yao Mingyue’s daily life every day, and finally slowly completed her own strategy.

"Are you... making fun of me?"

Zhu Yulan looked at Xu Musen's expression and the shame in her heart emerged. She didn't expect that she seemed to be drunk today and she actually said such words.

It was as if she was a nympho, secretly fantasizing that other people's boyfriends could also pamper her like this.

Ahhhhh!
Zhu Yulan's face turned red as if blood might drip out of it. She stared at Xu Musen and grabbed his sleeve.

He heard such shameful words. If there is no good result today, she will have to kill him to silence him!

"I do not have."

Xu Musen quickly shook his head.

"Laugh if you want to, anyway... I am just like this... a loser girl..."

Zhu Yulan felt like she had given up. Xu Musen couldn't help but smile: "If you are a loser, then others will have no chance to survive. To be honest, everyone is a little vain. As a man, I am very happy that such an excellent and beautiful girl likes me. It's just that I think you may be looking at me through a filter, and maybe some of the things you have experienced make you lack this kind of beautiful yearning. In fact, I may not be as good as you think..."

Xu Musen could understand why Zhu Yulan had such thoughts. Because of her original family background, her family put profit above all else. Although she had no worries about food and clothing, she had no one to rely on in her heart.

Therefore, when she saw Xu Musen doting on An Nuannuan without any bottom line, Zhu Yulan envied the feeling of being protected without any bottom line.

"I thought about it at the time, but maybe I was just overthinking. It would be better if you, such a nasty guy, didn't cheat me. Why would you take care of me like you took care of Nuannuan? But after I had a falling out with my family, none of my friends helped me, not even one of them said a word. I don't know why, but the first person I thought of was you, and you didn't let me down."

Zhu Yulan looked at Xu Musen, and a light appeared in her red eyes.

"Actually, I didn't do anything. I just prepared a place for you to live, and I collected your rent." Xu Musen smiled and shook his head.

"No, what you gave me is not just a place to live, but trust and dignity."

Zhu Yulan's eyes were bright: "You understand my personality. What you call rent and work is actually because you don't want me to have so much psychological burden... You are always like this, you say bad things, but the things you do always make people feel warm in their hearts.

It was also from that time that I was able to spend close time with you every day. It was also during that time that I saw with my own eyes how you took care of everything in order. No matter how busy the company was, you would take Nuannuan home with a smile every night. Including Mingyue, Xiaomai, and everyone in the company... you took good care of them.

At that time, I understood that work and the person you love are not a single choice, and career and love should not be compromised. It turns out that no matter how busy you are, you should always make the warmest time for the person you love..."

There was some tremor in Zhu Yulan's last voice. She had been complaining that during the time when her mother was seriously ill, her father was so busy fighting for the family inheritance that he didn't have time to see her mother for the last time.

However, if the people you love most are no longer around, what is the meaning of status and money?

She didn't understand, but from Xu Musen, she felt the responsibility and sense of security that she had always wanted.

"That period was also my happiest time. I was like an ordinary person, working from nine to five every day, eating takeout, and spending a long time with Xiaomai every day to get a discount of one or two dollars. It was very tiring, but very fulfilling. During that time, I also slowly got used to having you around me. Inexplicably, even though you were someone else's boyfriend, as soon as I saw you, I felt very safe."

Zhu Yulan wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled foolishly: "From that time on, there has been an indelible shadow in my heart, but at that time... I myself was unwilling to admit that I fell in love with such an annoying guy.

Until that day…"

Zhu Yulan's voice trembled again: "It was obviously my business, but you got hurt..."

"It's all over. You're a victim, and you've tried very hard to make amends. You can't be blamed for this."

Xu Musen gently touched her head. After all, no one could predict what would happen.

Moreover, Zhu Yulan has tried her best to make amends. Compared with apologizing and self-doubting, Xu Musen actually appreciates Zhu Yulan's way of handling the matter more.

"You will always be like this, a gentle and nice person..."

Zhu Yulan listened to his gentle words, and her emotions surged even more. However, she liked this point about him the most.

He is vindictive to those around him, but always kind to those around him.

"I originally thought that it would be fine for me to live alone. After all, once some things are spoken out, we may not even be able to be friends anymore. Moreover, to Nuannuan, I am even a bad person.

But I always feel that if I really can't help but say it, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Zhu Yulan slowly stood up from Xu Musen's arms, and she gently pressed her hand on Xu Musen's heart.

The other hand was also gently placed on his heart.

Feeling the different beating speeds of two hearts.

The two people's eyes met.

Zhu Yulan's cheeks were drunk and nervous, and her breathing was trembling slightly. This was also the time she mustered up her courage.

"Xu Musen, I know... I may not get the answer I want if I tell you this now, and it may even ruin the friendship we have worked so hard to develop. But if I don't say some things, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Zhu Yulan took a deep breath, feeling her own heart beating faster with one hand and Xu Musen's heartbeat with the other.

She raised her head slightly, putting more distance between them, but her eyes were hotter than ever.

She exhaled slowly, and her cold breath reflected under the streetlight on the December night.

In other words, her entire body was emitting steam, her fair and rosy skin under the streetlight.

"Xu Musen, I'm Zhu Yulan. I like you. It's not the kind of love that comes from friendship, nor is it an impulsive love. Rather, it's the kind of love that I've confirmed over and over again for a whole year. It's the kind of love that I, a girl named Zhu Yulan, have for you."

This was Zhu Yulan’s second confession today.

It is also a true confession.

Xu Musen felt that her hands on his chest were trembling slightly, which was enough to tell that she had used up all her courage at this moment.

The two people watched silently. In this silent cemetery, they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats at this moment.

"Thank you."

Xu Musen slowly stretched out his hand and gently held her hand. The weather was a little chilly and the girl's fingers were trembling. At this moment, feeling the warmth of Xu Musen's palm, she seemed to be lifted up.

She could almost feel her accelerated heartbeat with her other hand. She didn't say anything, but the breath she exhaled from her mouth left a trace of throbbing in the air.

"Xu Musen, I don't want any promises today. I just want to tell you that I like you. I also just want to ask you, do you like me? Even a little bit counts..."

She didn't know what Xu Musen meant by thank you, but if he was still a good guy, she would definitely bite him!
Xu Musen gently held her hand, clenched it in his palm and gently warmed it.

“Thank you for your love. Just like you said, I can’t give you the answer and promise right now, but I understand how much courage it takes to like someone and take the initiative to confess to that person. I also know how sad it would be if my confession was not responded to.

So, what I can respond to now is your heart. Thank you for liking me. I am honored to be liked by you. I accept this kindness. It is not a nice guy card, nor a polite remark, but the most true words from my heart. "

Xu Musen felt the slight trembling of her small hand in his palm, the look in Zhu Yulan's eyes at that moment, and the purity and warmth in Xu Musen's eyes.

This told her that he really responded to her love.

Maybe some answers, maybe just like Zhao Lianmai, she has already got some answers at this moment, and Zhu Yulan feels that she is already luckier than Xiaomai.

At the very least, Xu Musen had given her a serious response. Even if there was no result, his kindness was not wasted.

For Zhu Yulan, this was the best result she could have expected.

But... that's how people are.

Once you get it, you will subconsciously want more.

"So, do you like me? Even a little bit is fine... I want to hear you say it."

Zhu Yulan knew that her question might not get an answer or response, but she really wanted to ask.

In Xu Musen's crowded heart, besides Nuannuan and Mingyue, was there ever a moment or two when her figure also broke into it?

Xu Musen looked at her expectant, anxious, tangled and complicated eyes. He slowly smiled, and the scenes of their past acquaintance circled in his mind.

“Just like you said about me, I may be sparkling in your eyes, but you are the same in mine.

I still remember the first time we met, you were so willful and arrogant, you offered me money to withdraw from the election without any consideration for others.

"I don't look down on people..."

Zhu Yulan couldn't help but complain, but listening to Xu Musen's memories, she also recalled the past of the two of them.

Xu Musen smiled and continued, "At first, I also thought you were a rich, willful and difficult to serve young lady, so sometimes I did cheat you a few times, but later I slowly discovered that behind your willfulness and pride, you are extremely responsible and serious about your work and other people's promises.

Even if you know that I am trying to cheat you, you will still choose to do your best to fulfill your promise.

When you have a falling out with your family and have no place to eat or sleep, you still settle the wages of your employees as soon as possible.

When something happens to us, you can immediately do your best to make amends and take responsibility for your own responsibilities..."

As Xu Musen spoke, his eyes slowly and deeply met Zhu Yulan's.

"Just like the filter I have in your eyes, you also have many shining points in me. Your seriousness, responsibility, and commitment, as well as your little willfulness and confusion, are also your shining points. These are your strengths, and I like them very much."

I love so much…

Zhu Yulan covered her heart, the beating speed of her heart seemed to be unrestrained.

She looked at Xu Musen, this cunning man, but the answer was still so ambiguous.

It makes people feel itchy and happy.

Sure enough, a scumbag is a scumbag. However, Zhu Yulan also knew that for this guy, the fact that he could say this meant that... at least she really stayed in his heart for one or two moments...

"Scumbag..."

Zhu Yulan covered her chest with her hands. At this moment, she finally got the answer she wanted. The blood circulated throughout her body.

She felt dizzy. Could that tiny piece of chocolate with liquor filling have such power?
She looked at Xu Musen and felt as if she couldn't control herself.

She moved closer to Xu Musen, as if she was slightly tipsy, and looked at Xu Musen's cheek, along the tip of his nose, and all the way to the corner of his mouth: "If that's the case... can I make another request?"

Xu Musen shrank back silently: "I usually sell my art but not my body."

Zhu Yulan watched his movements, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and it seemed as if the last line of defense in her mind had been broken by alcohol.

Human greed will never be satisfied.

"What about the normal situation?"

"Then you wait..."

Xu Musen hadn't finished speaking yet.

The girl in front of him suddenly had a drunken red face, which quickly expanded in his field of vision. A touch of the sweet fragrance of the bamboo forest gently fell...
