After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 618 - 273: Yao Mingyue Stops Chasing You! _2

"Being jealous is being jealous, guarding your food is guarding your food, not straightforward at all, such a tsundere."

Yao Mingyue giggled, her row of pearly white teeth sparkling even more under the light.

Xu Musen wouldn't play along with her words.

"Drinking alone so late, you've gotten quite skillful, huh!"

"It's just a cocktail, orange-flavored, want a sniff?"

Yao Mingyue laughed as she shook the bottle in her hand, but her body moved closer, and she puckered her lips to gently blow towards him.

Yeah, it really was orange-flavored.

Xu Musen took a deep breath, "Mind your image."

"Tsk, and here I thought we were like The Giant Eagle and its Companion, now you're suddenly not concerned about your image as a good man?" Yao Mingyue took a sip of her drink, looking at him teasingly.

Xu Musen also smiled, "We are like The Giant Eagle and its Companion, An Nuannuan and I are the companions, and you are the silly bird."

The drink in Yao Mingyue's mouth nearly sprayed out as she turned red-faced with effort, glaring at Xu Musen, "I suddenly want to smash you too!"

Xu Musen laughed heartily.

"Alright, let's get you home, I'll walk you."

"What's the rush to go back; it's not like I have anyone to sleep with anyway."

Yao Mingyue hummed with a trace of sullenness in her voice, but the more she talked, the more images filled her mind, and the more irritated she became.

She picked up the bottle and gulped down more of it, choking herself into a coughing fit.

"Don't get so worked up that you anger yourself."

Xu Musen walked over and snatched away the bottle; cocktails always had a higher alcohol content than beer; she had drank more than half of it in one breath, and her whole being was enveloped by a layer of drunken haze.

"Did she say anything about you coming out to see me off?"

"She was the one who asked me to come out and send you off."

"Humph, she's really understanding, isn't she."

Yao Mingyue leaned against the railing, her head tilted slightly, her long hair naturally cascading down, giving her an exceptionally dreamy look under the night lights.

At this moment, Nuannuan seemed to have powered up from a 'six-skill novice' to 'godlike' in ten minutes, before deliberately feeding to ramp up the difficulty of the game.

"Not exactly, she set a rule for me; if she finishes washing the dishes and I'm not back yet, she's going to be upset with me."

Xu Musen spoke with a smile, recalling how An Nuannuan sternly stated that if he wasn't back by the time she was done with the dishes, she would never kiss him again.

It was foolishly adorable.

Yao Mingyue watched him smile like a lovestruck fool and clicked her tongue, "Don't worry, before you get home, she will definitely leave at least one dish unwashed, waiting for your return before she does it; she wouldn't really be willing to get mad at you."

Nuannuan was truly impressive, managing both to ensure her boyfriend remembered to come home early and to deepen their romantic connection.

In an instant, Yao Mingyue realized where she had fallen short.

"An Nuannuan, she's really something…"

Xu Musen was taken aback, looking at Yao Mingyue, "You two have been acting quite odd today, what did you talk about?"

Yao Mingyue didn't answer him; she leaned on the railing. The night breeze was blowing in this city that was both strange and familiar to them; it seemed like this was the first time the two stood together on a footbridge, enjoying the wind.

The spring wind was very soothing, settling a lot of the emotions within.

"Don't lean out so far after drinking."

Xu Musen went over to pull her back, fearful she'd sway and tumble off the bridge.

But his hand was caught by Yao Mingyue, a girl's cool, soft hand in his palm.

"Stay with me and enjoy the breeze."

Yao Mingyue looked at him, her eyes foggy with intoxication. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the footbridge, her voice carried a trace of loneliness.

In the end, Xu Musen said nothing, joining her in leaning against the railing, his hand motionless... mainly because he didn't want her to fall, absolutely no ulterior motive!

"Xu Musen, does my hand still feel comfortable to hold?"

"..."

Yao Mingyue laughed happily, almost with tears of joy in her eyes, gripping his hand even tighter.

The street before them was bustling; just across one intersection was Huhai University.

This bridge, even in their previous life, they had often crossed together.

During their university years, they hadn't made their relationship official.

But that was hardly different from being a couple.

Everyone at Huhai University knew about their cool campus belle and her good-for-nothing childhood friend; the pair were inseparable every day, with no chance for a third person to appear.

They had thought they could spend a lifetime like that, but…

"Xu Musen…"

Yao Mingyue called out softly, turning her head to lock eyes with him, "You once told me that if we had been together in our past life, it wouldn't necessarily have been very happy. Now, I also want to ask you, if in our past life, if I had had a better temperament, if I had learned how to love you sooner, if I could have truly loved you properly… would the ending have been different?"

Under the neon lights, Yao Mingyue's eyes shone with tears. Her cheeks were flushed with a drunken rosiness. On such a lively street, her question echoed in Xu Musen's mind.

He too had wondered more than once about the same thing: if in their past life Yao Mingyue had been good to him, if they had been together, they surely would have been the envy of everyone.

But now, Xu Musen already had someone he couldn't let go of.

He looked at Yao Mingyue, about to speak when she interrupted him.

"I know what you want to say. I'm not asking you to make a choice now; I just want an answer. If I could become the little pest you used to like, would you still like me?"
