After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Bootlickers don't discriminate by age.

Or rather, seeking a mate is an instinct etched into the DNA of all living beings.

Anyway, Xu Musen knew Yao Mingyue was pretty since kindergarten.

In middle school, the buds of adolescence had already begun to bloom.

The little boy always followed An Nannan around.

Though An Nannan had a sweet tooth, her principles were strong.

She would never eat someone else's food.

"I've told you, I don't eat other people's food, especially not boys'."

An Nannan emphasized again, as her family had taught her since she was young not to take advantage of others, especially the opposite sex, and to always maintain a good distance.

Many young girls start by accepting chocolates and candies from others, then slowly get tricked away bit by bit.

Thinking of this, An Nannan subconsciously remembered the guy who tricked her sister, always using treats to cajole her sister's affection.

Hmph! That despicable guy, he's just bullying my sister for being naive while smug about his own cleverness, thinking I wouldn't fall for such low tricks!

As she thought this.

She didn't pay attention to what was in front of her and ran straight into a broad, warm embrace.

"Ouch~"

An Nannan rubbed her little nose, somewhat unhappy, and looked up to see who dared to block her path!

But as soon as she looked up, what she saw was Xu Musen's smiling face.

"Yo, what a coincidence."

Xu Musen, looking at An Nannan's face that resembled Nuannuan's, subconsciously reached out and gently patted her head.

"You jerk, who let you stop me!"

An Nannan, recognizing him, immediately furrowed her brow at her slightly reddened nose from the impact, and raised her tiny fists, ready to punch him.

But as she raised her hand, Xu Musen presented a cup of milk tea before her.

This was a mix Xu Musen specifically made for his little sister-in-law. An Nannan loved boba, so he put several times the normal amount, along with her favorite fruit flavor.

An Nannan's previously aggressive little face instantly lit up with craving.

She immediately took the milk tea, huffed, and said, "At least you're sensible. I'll let you off this time!"

An Nannan talked big, but she couldn't wait to poke in a straw and take a sip.

Instantly, her cute face scrunched up in bliss.

"Nannan, didn't you say... you don't take things from other boys..."

Meanwhile, the little boy beside her couldn't hold back anymore, lifting his head to look at Xu Musen.

An Nannan's face flushed, and she glanced at Xu Musen, seemingly frustrated, and huffed, "This is... this is his way of apologizing to me. He owes me that!"

An Nannan's gestures truly displayed the haughtiness and temper typical of her age to the fullest.

It reminded Xu Musen of how Yao Mingyue was when she was younger, a little girl's haughtiness and reserve blending together in an unexpectedly cute way.

Of course, it mainly helped that they were both pretty. If it had been some rowdy kids built like super athletes, he would have directly dished out a big slap.

The little boy holding the exquisite and pricey chocolate glanced at the ordinary milk tea in An Nannan's hand, weren't you saying you didn't eat sweets?

His little brain still hadn't caught on.

"Nannan, I've already unwrapped the chocolate, just try..."

"Sister!"

An Nannan ignored him, her gaze catching the business car in the distance, with An Nuannuan looking at her through the window.

The little girl happily ran towards it.

The little boy, chocolate unwrapped in hand, was left standing there, disheveled by the wind.

For a teenager, isn't being ignored like that a massive emotional blow?

Xu Musen couldn't help but laugh, patting his shoulder, "Kid, you're still young. Better focus on your studies."

The boy snapped out of it and looked at Xu Musen, hesitating before asking, "What's your relationship with Nannan, anyway?"

"Family," Xu Musen replied with a smile.

The little boy understood what "family" meant and suddenly treated Xu Musen with "respect."

"Um, big brother, can you give this chocolate to Nannan?"

Xu Musen chuckled, "Girls are reserved. You need to be more patient, and it's normal to face rejection multiple times."

Upon hearing this, the boy's eyes lit up, "I've read in books, failure is the mother of success. Does that mean if I keep trying, I'll definitely succeed?"

He felt like he received approval from Nannan's brother.

"No, what I mean is, after being rejected a few times, you'll get used to it."

"???"

"Brotherly advice, young as you are, better focus on memorizing some vocab. Remember, bootlickers never end well."

Xu Musen said this with a chuckle, sharing his sage advice. It was obvious that Nannan had no interest in him whatsoever, and pursuing her would be a waste of time. He didn't want this young boy to start down a bootlicker's path of no return.

With that, he broke off half of the chocolate he was holding, "Consider this tuition. Goodbye."

Xu Musen chewed on the chocolate in his mouth. Not bad, the chocolate was quite good, and the hazelnut was a nice touch.

Then, Xu Musen walked away.

Leaving the little boy staring at the half-eaten chocolate, lost amidst the windswept turmoil.

...

Back in the car.

An Nannan looked at the chocolate in Xu Musen's mouth and snapped, "Hey, why are you eating his chocolate?"

"He prepared it with care, it'd be pitiable not to eat a single bite."

Xu Musen looked at Nannan, smiling, "That little boy likes you, right?"
