After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"I can't enjoy this."

Xu Musen took a step back.

But Yao Mingyue had anticipated his reaction, as if on cue, she skewered a small meatball with a toothpick and offered it directly to his mouth, "Here, I'm warning you, don't refuse the meatball or suffer the penalty meatball!"

Yao Mingyue's stance, resembling a wall slam, drew curious glances from people nearby.

Xu Musen knew that if he didn't eat it, she wouldn't rest until he did, he slowly opened his mouth about to take a bite.

But Yao Mingyue suddenly withdrew the meatball and bit into it herself.

"Hmph, that's the price for hesitating, now you can't have any, let's see you drool and die of envy!"

Yao Mingyue laughed happily, no longer needing to constantly consider Xu Musen's pride like in the past.

They were no longer in need of money and could finally enjoy things they couldn't afford before.

The sight of Yao Mingyue's willful and spoiled demeanor caused his heart to skip a beat.

He remembered it was always like this; Yao Mingyue would force him to eat more by giving him her leftovers in such a domineering way.

If he refused, she would tell Mother Xu that he was wasting food.

This was indeed the Yao Mingyue he used to adore—cute and playful on the outside, but sensitive at heart.

At this moment, Xu Musen felt like he was struck by the boomerang of past memories right in the heart.

Looking at the slightly unreasonable Yao Mingyue before him, he couldn't muster a trace of dislike.

He couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "Alright, alright, you eat it…"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a warmth in his mouth, the salty, savory, and crunchy flavor.

Yao Mingyue had stuffed the half-eaten takoyaki ball into his mouth.

Seeing Xu Musen still stunned, she happily narrowed her eyes, "I told you, as long as I have a bite, I'll definitely share half of it with you. Stick with this beauty, and I won't let you starve."

Yao Mingyue then confidently patted Xu Musen's shoulder, looking every bit like she'd take care of him.

Xu Musen, facing her triumphant expression, felt the unmistakable sensation of being teased.

At this moment, Yao Mingyue was like a punk sister, decked out in a JK uniform, riding a motorcycle, telling Xu Musen, "Being with big sis, I'll ensure you eat well and drink well."

And Xu Musen was like a pure high school boy, heart fluttering with excitement.

Xiao Mingyue ah, if you had used this move on me sooner, maybe I would have fallen for you long ago.

Xu Musen silently chewed on the meatball in his mouth.

Pretty delicious.

The two continued to eat and walk along the snack street, watching many guys squeezing into a store.

"Red Buff Internet Cafe Gaming Hall."

The gaming hall near the school, Xu Musen remembered sneaking off with He Qiang to the internet cafe once a week to play a few rounds of CF or King of Fighters.

Such shady internet cafes had poor equipment, and even playing CF was laggy. And if someone started downloading a little movie or something, the whole cafe could get disconnected.

But it was still the boys' favorite place to be.

Xu Musen paused for a moment and looked on, feeling quite nostalgic about the times he and He Qiang stealthily navigated the pipelines of the transport ship in CF.

"Xu Musen, I want to go in and have a look too," Yao Mingyue suddenly said, gazing inside.

"You? I thought you hated places like this." Xu Musen was surprised because he remembered Yao Mingyue particularly loathed the smell of smoke, especially the oily stench of smoke in internet cafes.

"Occasionally, it's good to take a look and see what it is that attracts you so much," Yao Mingyue said, her excitement palpable, as if she was the mischievous student trying to access the internet behind the wall for the first time, pulling him into the internet cafe with her.

The cafe was filled with various gaming machines such as King of Fighters, fish shooting games, gun games, and slot machines.

However, the machines were quite dated and primarily occupied by middle-aged people.

The younger crowd was mostly playing CF, DNF, or racing games.

Upon entering, Yao Mingyue was immediately choked by the oily smoke inside, and it was common for the gamers, especially those playing CF, to curse at each other.

"Damn! Did you understand to plant the bomb at B site? What the hell are you doing in the sewers?"

"Come on, I'll snipe at A site, show your head and I'll instantly take you down. Disagree? Fight me!"

"Who the hell threw that flashbang? My eyes!"

"Two against one and you get counter-killed, can you even play?"

...

"Can't stand it, huh?" Xu Musen chuckled, honestly even as a boy he hated the smell of oily smoke.@@novelbin@@

"Hmph, I'm determined to see what's so fun about it."

Yao Mingyue clung to Xu Musen's arm, covering her nose with her scarf to filter out the smoke as best as she could.

"You really want to play?"

"Of course!"

"Then let's just play casually," he said.

Xu Musen went to ask the internet cafe manager to boot up a computer; with a cigarette dangling from his lips, the manager looked incredulously at Yao Mingyue standing next to Xu Musen.

Man, with a girlfriend this pretty, why bother going to the internet? If it were him, he'd head straight home for some real action!

Yao Mingyue's appearance definitely reduced the swearing in the cafe.

An internet cafe would treasure the rare sight of a girl, let alone one as beautiful as her. The looks Xu Musen received were filled with envy and resentment.

Yao Mingyue's expression was always seen as particularly aloof by others.

She was used to the attention she drew.

But she held on to Xu Musen's arm even tighter, whispering near his ear, "Hmph, you see? Bringing me out gets you all this face, right?"

Xu Musen glanced at her and had to admit, having Yao Mingyue by his side did indeed earn him a lot of respect. The most brag-worthy thing for a man wasn't a watch or a car key, but the woman by his side.
