After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Xu Musen first peered through the peephole.

The first glance truly gave him a shock!

Standing at the door was a woman in pajamas, her long black hair still dripping with water, wetting her ghastly pale cheeks, as a pair of large eyes stared back at the peephole\'s location.

Xu Musen shivered. Was this really Sadako causing trouble in the dead of night?

However, this Sadako seemed to have quite a figure, her wet pajamas clinging to her fair skin, making the curves even more tempting.

Day ghosts don\'t break the law, right?

As some perverted netizens\' outrageous comments crossed Xu Musen\'s mind, the "female ghost" outside knocked on the door again.

"Xu Musen!"

That familiar voice—Yao Mingyue?

Xu Musen opened the door, and under the faint light of the hotel hallway, he finally saw that it was indeed Yao Mingyue.

Even though summer nights aren\'t cold, with her being soaking wet, she could easily catch a cold.

"What happened to you?"

Xu Musen asked with a frown, and at that moment, it seemed someone else had also arrived in the elevator down the hall.

Xu Musen noticed her thin pajamas had become transparent from the water, and one could faintly see the fair skin beneath her nightwear.

"Come inside first."

Xu Musen opened the door wider, pulling her into the room before fetching a bathrobe from the bathroom for her to wear.

Yao Mingyue wrapped herself in the bathrobe, which Xu Musen had just worn after his shower, still carrying his scent.

Yao Mingyue felt as if she was being embraced by Xu Musen and tightly grasped the bathrobe.

At this moment.

Two hotel staff hurried over, knowing that Yao Mingyue and Xu Musen were registered for the same room, so they came to Xu Musen\'s door.

Seeing the two.

"Hello, the smoke alarm in room 201 appears to have short-circuited, triggering the automatic sprinkler system. Are you both alright..."

The staff explained the situation.

Xu Musen nodded, looking at Yao Mingyue\'s drenched appearance, and then he understood what had happened.

Still, it all seemed a bit too coincidental, didn\'t it?

"We\'re fine, please handle it immediately."

"The room is flooded; cleaning it up might take some time."

"Then we\'ll change rooms."

"About that... all the rooms are fully booked for the next two days; we really don\'t have any vacancies left."

The staff explained, mentioning the college entrance exams, which likely meant that all nearby hotels within a five or six-kilometer radius were filled to the brim.

They glanced at Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue and suggested, "Seeing as both of your emergency contacts are Ms. Liu, how about you two rest in one room for tonight, and we\'ll get in touch with Ms. Liu?"

Both of their rooms were booked by Liu Rushuang, so the hotel staff naturally assumed their relationship was akin to siblings.

Xu Musen immediately wanted to object.

But Yao Mingyue directly said, "No need, we can handle it ourselves."

She looked at Xu Musen and whispered, "It\'s almost eleven now, telling them would just cause unnecessary worry."

Seeing Yao Mingyue\'s considerate appearance, Xu Musen raised an eyebrow, but she was right.

Informing family at this hour would only lead to fussing.

But why did he feel so endangered sharing a room with this sickly sweet girl?

He turned to the staff and said, "Make sure someone cleans it up quickly, and, another thing, prepare an extra blanket for me."

"Of course, of course, thank you for your understanding."

The staff hurried off to call for help.

Xu Musen closed the door.

Turning to look at Yao Mingyue, she stood there with her hair disheveled, completely drenched.

Xu Musen couldn\'t help but wonder if she had done it on purpose, but seeing her in such a sorry state, he could only sigh.

"You take a shower first; you don\'t want to catch a cold."

Xu Musen said, then turned to pour a cup of hot water.

Watching his back, Yao Mingyue couldn\'t help but curve her lips into a smile.

She entered the bathroom, turned on the hot water, and the shower area was made of frosted glass, transparent at the bottom and top, slightly hazy.

It was one of those wickedly clever designs meant for couples staying in the hotel.

In truth, you couldn\'t really see anything, but the shapes were vaguely discernible, enticing just because they were half-concealed…

The designer might not have understood privacy, but he certainly knew what men liked.

The sound of hot water on the body, falling to the floor—the room was only so big, and the sound carried a hint of intimacy to one\'s ears.

Xu Musen took a deep breath, thinking that he shouldn\'t have eaten such nourishing food in the evening.

Why did he feel somewhat overheated?

At that moment, the staff knocked on the door to deliver a new set of bedding.

Xu Musen took it, knowing that it wasn\'t likely for Yao Mingyue to leave today.

Given the relationship between their families and the importance of this time, it was just one night; they might as well get through it.

He began to spread the blanket over the sofa.

By now, Yao Mingyue had also finished her bath and came out.

She wore one of Xu Musen\'s robes, her long hair naturally falling to one side, her skin fair and flushed from the bath.

Even without makeup, Yao Mingyue\'s beauty was impeccable, her slender calves peeking from beneath the robe as she walked barefoot on the carpet.

Her feet, just fresh from the bath, were delicate and smooth at the ankles, without any swelling or protruding veins from being too thin.

Her whole body looked like a polished piece of jade, with just a hint of veins showing through, emphasizing the fairness and tenderness of her skin.

Each toe seemed like a marshmallow sinking into the carpet, and the air carried a thin mist from the bath, with the enchanting scent lingering between them.

Yao Mingyue looked at him and even saw a brief daze in his eyes.

This made her feel a bit proud inside.

The atmosphere at that moment was filled with unmistakable intimacy.

"The hot water is on the table, I\'ll have the bed ready in a moment,"

Xu Musen silently averted his gaze. Ha, don\'t mention the robe; I have seen you in a bikini countless times already.

Yao Mingyue noticed the way he turned his head and felt that he was too shy to look at her.

Who asked him to eat all that random stuff at night?

Serve him right!

And it seemed that he did care about her, after all.

Yao Mingyue took a sip of the hot water, watching Xu Musen lay the blanket on the sofa, and the corner of her mouth lifted: "Will you sleep here? What if you don\'t get a good rest?"

"Don\'t worry, I\'m not sleeping here,"

Xu Musen replied.

A blush instantly rose to Yao Mingyue\'s cheeks; she knew full well that Xu Musen had abs now, and his body was warm...

She quickly took another sip of water, swallowing down her saliva, even though she wasn\'t quite ready to take that step yet.

But if he would just humble himself, act sweetly towards her—well, she might let him taste a bit of sweetness herself.

Yes, like having a heart-to-heart, or massaging his shoulders or something...

After all, with the high school exams being stressful, as his childhood sweetheart, she had to provide timely psychological support, right?

"Anyway, the bed is big enough, we can each have our own blanket, I trust you won\'t mess around,"

Yao Mingyue suppressed her thoughts, showing a mix of coyness that turned into apparent calm acceptance on the surface.

That fleeting display of various expressions was quite the performance for Xu Musen.

"I think you misunderstand, what I mean is, I\'ll sleep on the bed, you sleep here,"

Xu Musen pointed to the sofa, then tossed her a small pillow.

Yao Mingyue: ???

"It\'s getting late, we should sleep. Oh, and remember to turn off the light,"

With that said, Xu Musen comfortably crawled into bed.

Completely ignoring Yao Mingyue, who was frozen in place with a blank expression on her face.

You trust me not to mess around?

But that requires me to trust you not to make any moves!

Xu Musen certainly hadn\'t forgotten that she was like this in their past life.

"Honey, it\'s uncomfortable watching TV on the sofa, let\'s go watch it on the bed""Honey, your belt is hurting me, take it off.""What kind of underwear are you wearing today, honey..."

And then he was bullied all over again.

Really, once a woman starts looking good, men become irrelevant.
