After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

It seems this matter can finally be put to rest.

Professor Gao handed his phone to Xu Musen.

After instructing him to delete the recording, he asked him to return the phone to that boy.

Xu Musen nodded; naturally, such a task wouldn't require Professor Gao to make a trip.

Upon receiving the phone, Xu Musen discovered there were not only recordings but also some photos that Huang Teng had secretly taken of him giving Luo Hao gifts.

Like teacher, like student indeed.

Neither was sincerely convinced of the other's stance.

Xu Musen thought for a moment and then simply pulled out the memory card and slipped it into his pocket.

Bai Xin escorted Professor Gao to the principal's office; as for Luo Hao's punishment, this was just the beginning.

Xu Musen remembered what he had promised Yao Mingyue.

He picked up the phone and sent her a message.

Looking at the last conversation record.

It had been many days since then.

Or rather, since his rebirth, the two of them had nearly stopped chatting altogether.

He mindlessly scrolled up through the messages.

Most of them were initiated by Yao Mingyue.

"Xu Musen, I've brought you breakfast."

"Xu Musen, can you accompany me to buy some things this Sunday?"

"Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, remember to drink more of it."

"Xu Musen, I washed your military training uniform, come down and get it yourself!"

"Xu Musen, let's go to driving school together."

"Hey, the college entrance exam is almost here, is it fun for you to be angry with me?"

"Xu Musen! I'm going to break off our friendship..."

In a daze, it seems months have passed already.

Looking at this, Xu Musen suddenly felt a sense of realization; just a few months ago, Yao Mingyue was still that domineering and tsundere little girl.

But now, she had indeed changed a lot.

Xu Musen paused for a moment, then wrote the message.

"I'm okay now, don't worry, I'm heading back to the milk tea shop to check on things."

He put away the phone.

As Xu Musen descended the stairs, he saw An Nuannuan sitting in a wheelchair, anxiously fiddling with her little fingers, constantly looking towards the staircase.

"Xu Musen!"

The moment An Nuannuan saw Xu Musen, she waved at him excitedly, as if relieved.

The midday sun blazed hotly, yet she had been waiting for him to come out under it because this was the spot where she could see him first.

Thinking back on Professor Gao's words, this turbulent situation really had kept them all busy.

What a little fool.

Xu Musen walked over, and An Nuannuan's pale face was still beaded with sweat, flushed from the sun.

"Xu Musen, you're okay, right..."

An Nuannuan's words were cut off.

Xu Musen bent down and gently hugged her, feeling the faint scent of milk in his arms.

Xu Musen felt all the exhaustion and bad mood of the entire day were healed.

Xu Musen simply hugged her shoulders like a gentleman.

"Nuannuan, thank you, I'm alright now."

Xu Musen slowly let go of her, observing the delicate cheeks of the young girl flush even more.

"You... don't say thank you."

An Nuannuan stumbled over her words, caught off guard by his sudden embrace.

"They should have caught me; I am the boss lady after all," she pouted.

"Well, I'm half a boss too," Xu Musen said with a gentle smile. "One of us had to be kept safe, and besides, you've already succeeded in protecting me once, so I still need to thank you."

An Nuannuan's clear eyes sparkled with color at Xu Musen's words.

"Then how do you plan to thank me?"

An Nuannuan's eyes were filled with anticipation, her lips curling into a pleased arc.

Xu Musen laughed and thought for a while, then seriously stroked his chin, looking at An Nuannuan: "Should I give you a pair of socks, too?"

An Nuannuan's little face froze for a moment, immediately remembering the socks she had given him before.

"I don't want them..." she said, a slight expression of distaste appearing on her flushed little face.

Xu Musen couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Now you know what it feels like to be wrongly accused of being a pervert, right?"

An Nuannuan pursed her lips, tilting her head: "You might not like socks, but you are definitely a pervert..."

"Nuannuan, don't tarnish my reputation. How am I a pervert?"

"You have a thing for feet."

"..."

Xu Musen didn't argue; he was standing tall, not afraid of skewed shadows!

"Let's go, don't make everyone anxious waiting."

Xu Musen smiled and went behind her, pushing the wheelchair forward.

The noon sun was sweltering, but walking between the rows of plane trees offered a play of dappled sunlight.

It fell on them, a rare comfort.

...

Xu Musen and An Nuannuan returned to the milk tea shop.

At the moment, the shop was still busy with customers, but many were onlookers.

It seems this incident had caused some impact.

If the shop truly closed for ten days or half a month, it would probably suffer drastically even if it reopened later.

Something must be done within these two days to regain the shop's reputation.

In the shop, Zhou Hangyu and others, including Zhao Lianmai, were present.

"Musen, you're finally back; how did it go?" Zhou Hangyu came over to ask.

"It's all sorted now; we can operate as usual."

"Good, good, good, damn, today's mess was giving me a headache. We have classes this afternoon, so we'll head out first!"

Li Rundong stood up, tactfully giving the boss lady and boss some space to talk.

Zhao Lianmai brought over two glasses of water and some fruit, placing them in front of him and An Nuannuan.

"Xiao Mai, you've had a hard day too. I'll give you a big bonus at the end of the month," Xu Musen said, biting into a piece of fruit and smiling.

Zhao Lianmai had indeed not been hired in vain.
