After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Yao Mingyue's cheeks flushed red as she twisted Xu Musen's arm, sounding almost hysterical after being busted, "It was you who blackmailed me! You made me sleep with you in the middle of the night, you hoodlum, hoodlum! It was you, you, you!"

Xu Musen laughed heartily, fond of her proud and overly sensitive nature.

"I still remember, we were already in the third grade of elementary school. Our parents went on a business trip, and my mom especially told me to take good care of you, and to be aware of the principle that men and women should not touch each other intimately. But that night, there was thunder, and you came down from your bed with a pillow to find me. When I refused, you were very defiant and said, 'Who cares about you, whoever seeks you out is a little dog!' After that, you stormed back to bed, but there were strange noises of mice in the room, and you crept into my bed with your pillow out of fear later that night.

The next morning, my mom and Aunt Liu saw us and my mom dragged me up and beat me up. If it weren't for Aunt Liu's intervention with a smile, my buttocks would have been in full bloom."

Xu Musen vividly recounted the events of the past, which made Yao Mingyue blush even more, "Stop talking nonsense; was I really that... shameless when I was a child?"

"You haven't just been like that since childhood, you've always been like this."

"Xu Musen, you're gonna get it!"

Yao Mingyue, blushing with annoyance, turned around and pressed down on Xu Musen, her slender fingers gripping his neck, "Apologize! Or I'll strangle you to silence!"

Xu Musen cooperated by pretentiously rolling his eyes as if choking.

"Pfft..."

Yao Mingyue couldn't help but laugh, "You really are... so cheap."

Yao Mingyue continued, giving a little snort, and then she leaned down and lay on Xu Musen's chest, her ear against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, just like the times when she was afraid at night as a child and would secretly slip into his bed.

Suddenly, she felt so at ease...

In this familiar room, with the familiar bunk beds, and the familiar person in her arms... Yao Mingyue slowly closed her eyes, truly wishing that all of this was just a dream, and when she woke up, they would really have returned to the past.

Xu Musen gently stroked her head and patted her back, just as he did when he soothed her to sleep when they were kids.

Outside was slowly growing dark, and after dinner, it was easy to get sleepy. The two of them lay on the slightly cramped but exceptionally warm bed, full of a sense of security.

Just dozing off a little, and Yao Mingyue actually fell asleep in Xu Musen's arms.

Xu Musen looked at her peaceful cheeks, completely different from the proud and capricious girl she was in the day.

Xu Musen didn't have the heart to wake her up but instead gently pulled over the blanket from the bed, covering her body, and gently lowered his head to kiss her on the top of her head.

At this moment, outside the door.

Father Xu and Mother Xu, looking at the bedroom that was almost identical to the past, had guessed some things.

"It seems we owe them a favor again..."

Father Xu sighed, having guessed that all this was surely prepared by Liu Rushuang beforehand.

It was to protect their face that she chose to keep things concealed.

"Yes, Old Yao and Ru Shuang are good people; without that accident back then, perhaps our two families would be doing even better," Mother Xu wiped the tear from the corner of her eye, feeling both touched and a bit guilty.

No matter what, it was Yao Mingyue's father who missed the best time for rescue because he went to save Father Xu.

They chose to sell their house and car and didn't want any compensation; they only thought of doing their best to make up to them.

But now, it seems that they still owe the Yao Mingyue's family.

"These two kids, well, it's better than what we had; Old Yao would be more at ease if he knew," Father Xu wiped the sourness from the corners of his eyes, also feeling somewhat complex, "Mingyue, such a good child, was supposed to be even closer to us, only... sigh."

"Alright, the kids have their own lives, no matter what, Mingyue is forever our child here, and we must treat her well."

Mother Xu said, managing her emotions: "It's getting late; let's go see them."

The two of them left the room and went to the room next door, which originally belonged to Xu Musen.

The door wasn't locked, Mother Xu gently turned the doorknob, and the moment the door cracked open, she saw the scene inside the room.

Immediately, she quickly and deftly shut the door again.

"What's the matter? Aren't they in the room?" Father Xu asked, puzzled.

"They are there... just that, they are busy right now."

Mother Xu didn't know how to phrase it. These two kids, really, although they often shared a bed as children, even if they were childhood sweethearts, now that they are grown, they should still avoid suspicion.

In the past, she would have definitely burst in and given her son a beating.

But now...

She remembered what Xu Musen had said to her a few days ago.

What if he marries two...

"Darling, what are you talking about?" Father Xu grew more curious and wanted to turn the doorknob to take a look.

"Don't go..." Mother Xu initially wanted to stop him, but then she recalled what her son had said and also how pale Yao Mingyue looked when she came today. Some of the lines in her heart also began to slowly waver.

She clenched her teeth, since her own son was determined to be a scumbag, it seems she had to let herself be a "scumbag mom" first.

"Listen, I'll let you take one look, no matter what you cannot speak, you cannot make a sound, and you definitely can't get angry, understand?"

Mother Xu held the doorknob firmly and spoke very seriously to Father Xu.

"All secretive, fine, fine, I promise you, okay?" Father Xu helplessly nodded.

Only then did Mother Xu inhale deeply, opened a crack in the door, and Father Xu leaned over to peek. Upon seeing the two people hugging and sleeping together on the same bed, his eyes widened in an instant.

"This..."

Mother Xu looked at her shocked husband, adjusted her breathing, and patted her husband's shoulder: "I know you're shocked right now, I felt the same way when I first found out..."

"They... how is this okay, Musen is about to get engaged, and Ming Yue this..."

"Don't be anxious yet, listen to me."

Mother Xu sighed, "I know, I have already talked about this with my son. Musen says he will find a way. Let's leave things to the young people, what we can do is to be kind to both of them, whether it's Ming Yue or Nuannuan... We are old now, we can't make any decisions for them, what we can do is just let them live better."

"But, Musen is already going to get engaged to Nuannuan, and Nuannuan is a good girl too, no matter what, we can't wrong her."

"I know what you want to say now, I have discussed all these things with my son, but you have to think about it seriously. Ming Yue's feelings for Musen, I believe, are obvious to see. She has been a stubborn girl since she was young. Our two families have been through so much together over the years, it's like we're one family. Do you really have the heart to see Ming Yue alone in the future?"

Mother Xu's heart was conflicted, but flesh is flesh, whether it's on her palms or the back of her hands, and right then she truly understood that feeling of not being able to let go of either side.

The final statement also rendered Father Xu speechless.

For Yao Mingyue, he had long since regarded her as his own daughter, especially since he owed her father his life.

If Ming Yue really couldn't think straight in the future and spent her life alone, he really wouldn't have the face to meet her father after death...

He opened his mouth, and in the end, could only let out a long sigh.

"Okay, let's pretend we didn't see anything today, let's go check out the other rooms. Children and grandchildren have their own luck, we just need to do our own part." Mother Xu gently took his arm.

Father Xu glanced through the crack in the door one more time, then silently nodded, and turned to leave.

In the room, Xu Musen, who had been closing his eyes and dozing, slowly opened them now.

His hearing was excellent. He had heard every word that drifted in through the crack in the door.

It seems his mom was really on his side, pushing him firmly down the path of a "scumbag".

Of course, Xu Musen did it on purpose, he at least wanted to let his mom know in advance.

Xu Musen let out a soft laugh, well then, a scumbag he would be. Whatever infamy he had to bear, he would bear it; he couldn't let either of them be alone.

Looking at the sleeping girl in his arms, Xu Musen gently stroked her cheek: "I never told you, actually, the strange sound of mice that night, it was me on purpose..."

Xu Musen's mouth held a smile.

If one looked carefully, they could even see a trace... just like the times when Yao Mingyue acted sickly, with a slightly ill and extremely loving expression...
