After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

But ever since the last time someone tried to show her interest and was thoroughly ignored, most boys didn't dare to jump out to grab her attention anymore.

Moreover, Yao Mingyue's icy demeanor deterred people from approaching her, to the extent that not even girls wanted to sit within five meters of her.

In college, everything is done in groups, so sitting alone in the library appeared somewhat lonely to others.

As Yao Mingyue read her book, she reached for the cup to take a sip of water but remembered that she had forgotten to cover it, causing the water to cool quickly in this weather.

After taking a small sip, she frowned slightly and lightly touched her stomach as if she was in some pain.

But she simply rubbed her belly briefly and then continued to work.

That was her way; she never showed her vulnerable side in front of others.

Yao Mingyue was actually very sensitive to the cold.

Clutching her cup, she stared at the water that had lost its warmth. Back in school, when it was cold and she didn't want to go downstairs, Xu Musen would get water for her after every class.

But now, the fool who used to fetch water for her was gone, just like the warmth in her cup...

It was never the cup that kept the water warm, but the person who always fetched hot water for you.

Yao Mingyue's eyes trembled slightly.

"You're drinking water that has gone cold."

A familiar voice suddenly interrupted.

The cup was taken from her hands.

Xu Musen was sitting in front of her.

After several days, they finally saw each other again.

Xu Musen looked at Yao Mingyue, she was still beautiful, but she seemed more tired and even colder now.

Sitting there alone, compared to the groups of students around her, she was like a swan that had strayed from the flock.

Aristocratic, aloof, and lonely.

But it seemed she had always been like that; her world had always revolved around him, and without him, she had nowhere to land.

Yao Mingyue also looked at him. It had been a long time since they'd met, yet Yao Mingyue's ears, eyes, and heart never ceased to feel his presence.

She couldn't leave him, nor would she, but at that moment she didn't know what to do.

Sometimes she would numb herself with work.

But there he was again.

Yao Mingyue, her eyes shimmering, said, "Warm water is better than none at all. Besides, there's no one to fetch water for me anymore."

Xu Musen looked at her, recalling the times in school when he fetched hot water for Yao Mingyue.

Back then, he felt a bit shy, and when fetching hot water for Yao Mingyue, he'd often make excuses to get some for others as well.

Later, those people stopped asking Xu Musen to fetch water, and he naturally only fetched it for Yao Mingyue.

Looking back, he figured they must have been "warned" by Yao Mingyue.

It was like when many people wanted her to say a graduation blessing at the end of high school, and the whole class ended up writing it.

But the most romantic part was that the other person was always holding a pen, just waiting for you to come before her...

The unspoken understanding between them now resurfaced in their minds.

Xu Musen looked at her and took out something he had prepared from behind and handed it to her.

"Drink this instead."

Yao Mingyue took it and looked.

A sweet fragrance wafted, red bean soup with a hint of brown sugar.

Suddenly, Yao Mingyue felt her nose turn sweet and a bit sour as she lifted her head to look at Xu Musen.

This guy, wasn't it agreed that he wouldn't be nice to her anymore?

Why was he still so kind to her…

She extended her hand and held the cup, which was just the right temperature, took a gentle sip, and the sweet warmth seemed to melt away the slight, awkward distance between them these past few days.

"Xu Musen."

She murmured his name.

Xu Musen, who was preparing his words, hummed in acknowledgment and looked up at her.

"What is it?"

Yao Mingyue propped her delicate chin with one hand, swallowing the red bean sugar water and revealing her white teeth.

She looked at Xu Musen, lightly biting her lip.

"You're such a jerk."

"???"
