After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Liu Rushuang had gone on another business trip.

Xu Musen thought it over and decided to take her to her place first, since his own home lacked a change of clothes for her.

Xu Musen had intended to leave after dropping her off, but Yao Mingyue pulled at him.

"Come in too."

Yao Mingyue clung to his arm. She was shivering slightly from the cold, yet her grip was strong.

"I need to go home to shower."

"Your place doesn't have a bathtub. Without soaking in a bath, you'll catch a cold."

Yao Mingyue, seeing him soaked through, adamantly refused to let him go.

Just then, the phone rang.

It was from Mum.

"Son, the rain was torrential just now. Did you and Ming Yue get caught in it?"

"No worries, we've reached home."

"Good, then hurry up and take a warm shower so you don't catch a cold. Ming Yue is a girl; she needs to be even more careful. Look after her."

Xu Musen nodded. Then Yao Mingyue's phone also started to ring.

She uttered an 'oh' twice and handed the phone to Xu Musen.

"Xiaosen, you got soaked in the rain, right? Go to Auntie's place with Ming Yue and take a warm shower first. Auntie's home has a steam room that can help get rid of the chill. Make sure you go and have a shower; there are clothes at the house you can wear."

The caring voice of Liu Rushuang came through, her concern so genuine that Xu Musen could only agree.

They entered the villa.

Yao Mingyue took off her thoroughly wet shoes, followed by her pristine white socks.

Her small feet, soaked by the rain, looked especially pale, each little toe resembling tiny crystal grapes, wet and with a peculiar allure.

The thin clothes on her body clung tightly to her, outlining the young girl's graceful curves all the more temptingly.

Especially since the clothes were soaked through to the point where the outline of her undergarments was visible, the firm shape of her buttocks accentuated.

It was like misty hills and green waters that made the mind wander into reverie.

Xu Musen felt his body growing hot. Damn this body, why did it seem like his energy was too abundant after the rebirth?

Yao Mingyue turned to look at him, her pretty face that had turned pale from the cold now also gained a touch of warmth.

"Shall I shower first?"

Xu Musen nodded. You'd better hurry.

Yao Mingyue walked to the bathroom, slowly stripping off her clothes, placing them in the clothing basket by the door.

She thought for a moment and intentionally left a bit of her lacy underwear showing…

Then she entered the bathroom with a slight smile on her lips.

She finished her shower quickly, wearing a pink nightgown as she stepped out to find Xu Musen brewing a cup of hot tea for himself.

"It's your turn to shower now."

"Hmm."

Xu Musen nodded and passed by Yao Mingyue, catching the fresh scent of her just out of the shower.

It was a fragrance he had smelled for a lifetime in his previous life.

Moreover, in his previous life, Yao Mingyue always liked to pull him into the bath with her, turning a half-hour bath time into one or two hours.

They'd almost go pruney…

Xu Musen shook his head and walked to the bathroom door, closed the partition door behind him, and began to remove his damp clothing.

That's when he spotted in a basket Yao Mingyue's discarded clothes damp and somehow provocative.

Most notably, a piece of her underwear was peeking out, lacy at the edges.

A combination of youthful girlhood and a hint of mature charm.

Just removed, they seemed to still hold her body heat.

Xu Musen shifted his gaze.

Heh, so you're testing me with this?

Only perverts get excited over a piece of cloth, pah!

Xu Musen placed his clothes in another basket and turned to enter the bathroom.

It must be said that Yao Mingyue's bathroom was quite large, with a good fifty square meters, complete with a bathtub and a steam room.

It even had ultraviolet beauty devices, among other things. It goes without saying, wealthy people really know how to live luxuriously.

Earning money is indeed a long and arduous road!

Xu Musen lay comfortably in the bath, feeling as if the water was infused with Yao Mingyue's scent.

Hmm, if it were a bit stronger... it even somewhat resembled Auntie Liu's fragrance.

Meanwhile, outside the bathroom, a shadow tiptoed across the carpet and gently pushed open the partition door.

Yao Mingyue entered the changing room and slowly approached the laundry basket.

She first glanced at her own clothes, which were surprisingly still in the same state.

Yao Mingyue huffed, thinking that the clueless man should have at this point picked them up... ugh!

Her gaze then shifted to the other side, where Xu Musen's clothes were.

Her face flushed slightly, and after a few seconds, she reached out her hand.

A shirt, trousers, and... boxer briefs.

Looking at the small garment that only boys could wear, with a vertical pocket at the front.

For some reason, Yao Mingyue didn't know why.

She swallowed.

Her face turned redder, as she grasped it wanting to take a closer look.

In the end, she stopped herself, wrapped the shirt around it, but still leaned in to take a deep breath.

Hmm... there's a scent of rainwater, so I might as well wash it for him.

She grabbed her phone, then suddenly noticed another phone beneath the clothes basket.

She hesitated for a moment, but still picked it up.

The lock screen password—she subconsciously tried her own birthday.

"0621"

As expected, it unlocked.

The thing about phone passwords is that after using them for a while, you forget what they initially symbolized.

Plus, having become muscle memory, Xu Musen hadn't thought to change it.

Yet, Yao Mingyue's lips curved into a smile, this guy... clearly still cares about me, huh?

She opened his chat list.

In fact, Xu Musen's chat list was very tidy, other than Mom and Dad, there was only He Qiang, Yao Mingyue, and An Nuannuan.

The rest were group chats with 'Do Not Disturb' enabled.

However, seeing An Nuannuan's name made Yao Mingyue frown.

Opening it up only made Yao Mingyue clench her teeth.

"I'm so lonely without you..."

"Can I spend the night with you..."

"Let's meet up at college..."

Yao Mingyue's blood pressure soared!

It felt as if countless green hats were being placed on her head!

If she hadn't felt that this girl didn't mean it that way, Xu Musen's phone would have probably been retired on the spot.

But as she read on, a strange feeling started to emerge in her heart.

Was this girl genuinely naive, or was she feigning it?

Looking at the chat history, it didn't seem like something a normal girl would say, a bit... too thoughtless.

Some phrases would typically be avoided for fear of misunderstanding.

Yet she had said them so foolishly.

The more she did, the more authentic she seemed, and most importantly, Xu Musen seemed to fall for this act.

Suddenly, Yao Mingyue recalled her mother's words: if a man is strung along for too long, once he tastes a bit of sweetness, he's very easily deceived.

She bit her lip, pondering whether it was because Xu Musen couldn't have her that he was tempted by this girl?

Or was it that the girl was not actually foolish, and all of this was intentional? If so... Yao Mingyue looked at the last message.

"Can we be together in college?"

An Nuannuan's grades could certainly get her into Tsinghua or Peking University.

So, for whom did Xu Musen choose his school?

Yao Mingyue felt as if she had placed a green hat on herself, and she finally couldn't help but send a message.

"Are you there?"
