After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"It's okay, staying in that room will bring good luck. I believe you will also be able to find what you desire in the future. Besides, you're Xu Musen's friend, which makes you my friend. Friends should care about each other, right?"

An Nuannuan said with a genuinely sweet smile.

Zhu Yulan also felt a warm sensation in her heart.

See, such a girl is indeed likable.

No wonder Xu Musen chose her over his own childhood friend.

Although she had been bickering with Yao Mingyue just now, it was the first time she felt an atmosphere so conducive to expressing her emotions freely.

Unlike her cold home, where suffocating rules lurked everywhere.

"Actually, I'm quite envious of you. You have your own space, and the relationship between you two is so great... Boss Xu is really lucky to have a kind-hearted and gentle lady boss like you, Nuannuan."

Zhu Yulan smiled as she spoke. These past days, whenever she chatted with Zhao Lianmai, Zhao Lianmai just loved talking about An Nuannuan and Xu Musen's love story.

And about how the two of them struggled together from the very beginning.

When Xu Musen first opened his bubble tea shop, before their relationship was even confirmed, he didn't hesitate to give An Nuannuan half of the shares.

Zhu Yulan even felt a bit envious of that resolute choice of love without leaving a way back.

Sometimes she even fantasized about having someone appear in her life, someone who would like her with such an unrestrained and pure heart.

Maybe then, she would really want to rely on that person.

Unfortunately, there were plenty of hypocritical and ingratiating people around her, but it seemed there wasn't a single good person; those who appeared always seemed to have ulterior motives.

Especially that Huang guy.

Zhu Yulan felt a tinge of resentment in her heart. Although she had just sarcastically referred to Yao Mingyue as a defeated pursuer of her childhood friend,

at least Yao Mingyue had Xu Musen as her childhood friend.

At least she had once had that.

But Zhu Yulan had never really experienced warmth from the opposite sex before.

And now that she finally had...

Her gaze shifted to Xu Musen.

An Nuannuan also lifted her bright eyes to look at Xu Musen, "I'm the lucky one, I found my favorite person. No matter how you look at it, I'm the big winner here."

An Nuannuan spoke not in a coquettish tone, but in a serious, matter-of-fact manner, even with a hint of a "you've finally fallen into my hands" kind of dominance.

It's just that the sweetness was still too much.

Xu Musen looked down at her, too. Yes, this silly girl had waited for him her whole previous life.

Pursuing the person you love always fills you with pride, yet it's also hard work.

Xu Musen understood this feeling very well.

And for a girl to be so unreserved as to declare her feelings in front of others truly filled a man's small vanity.

Xu Musen gazed into An Nuannuan's clear and warm eyes, yet suddenly, he seemed to switch roles, gently lowering his head to nuzzle against An Nuannuan's shoulder, imitating the feeling of a little girl.

"Then from now on, I'm yours. You have to take responsibility for me for a lifetime."

Zhu Yulan: ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ...

Just out of the washroom,

Yao Mingyue: "ଽ꒰⌓̈ॢ꒱̉̉"

An Nannan: (д)ﾟﾟ

"Pah! Disgusting!" ×3

An Nuannuan's cheeks turned red, the little feet on the chair shook happily.

...

Dinner was over.

Xu Musen went out to send Zhu Yulan off.

Even though the school was just a ten-minute walk away, a pretty girl still needed to be cautious for her safety.

The two of them left the house.

"Then, I won't impose any longer, thank you for today's hospitality, I really enjoyed it."

Zhu Yulan turned around and said to An Nuannuan.

"We're friends, after all. You can always come over for dinner."

An Nuannuan smiled and responded.

"Alright then..."

Zhu Yulan's gaze met Yao Mingyue's; although the two bickered from the moment they met, they also seemed to have a feeling of meeting their match.

The mutual recognition between heroes?

...

On the bustling streets, Xu Musen walked side by side with her.

Zhu Yulan observed the passersby; the roadside of the night, even in a bustling city, would have many food stalls.

They might stay busy until late into the night.

It was hard work, but there was also a sense of life's warmth. Perhaps this was the state of life for most people.

A steak in a high-end restaurant could easily cost over a thousand.

The roadside beef noodle soup for a dozen or so yuan could also be very satisfying.

"I never realized before that there is such a way of life in this world. It's tiring, fulfilling, isn't necessarily the happiest, but there's joy to be found in it."

Zhu Yulan suddenly sighed.

"Is Boss Zhu getting addicted to experiencing the life of the poor?" Xu Musen asked with a smile.

Zhu Yulan glanced at him, "I'm not that naive sweetheart who is above the ordinary life. The life of the poor can never be happy, it's just making the best out of a bad situation. Overall, the life of the rich is definitely better, but sometimes... once you get stuck in a rut, even the best life becomes a shackle."

"That's very profound, I understand," Xu Musen nodded as if he understood from his own experience in his previous life when he was accused of living off a woman, which might seem ungrateful in the eyes of others.

But some things really can't be understood unless personally experienced.

If having money meant having no worries, then why are there so many rich people and celebrities who end up with depression and commit suicide?

Zhu Yulan glanced at him, realizing that no matter when, he always had a way of speaking that made one feel comfortable.
