After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 1001 - 402: Finally Meeting, Yao Mingyue’s Plan Fails. (8k Please Subscribe!)_4
Xu Musen had never thoroughly discussed the matter of rebirth with An Nuannuan.
An Nuannuan had never brought it up either.
But as they reached this day, Xu Musen had long felt the presence of it.
He carried the perspective of his previous life and later learned that this foolish girl had stupidly waited for him an entire lifetime.
Xu Musen didn't doubt their feelings for each other, and he knew asking now might spoil the mood, but he still wanted to be certain.
An Nuannuan looked up and met his gaze, her bright eyes unwavering. Instead of answering directly, she reached out and pinched his cheek in the same way he often did to hers.
"What about you, when did you really start to like me?"
Xu Musen stared into her clear eyes, his thoughts seemed to rewind through time to their first encounter...
It was when she was selling discarded flowers in the plaza, initially just a random meeting.
Later, they bonded over game illustration development, paying fifty yuan for a sketch, marking the start of their daily interactions.
Perhaps it was pity seeing her daze off alone every day.
Or maybe her loneliness from not having any friends.
Or it could be her quirky but clever mind despite her lack of eloquence.
Or perhaps her stubbornly resilient character beneath that innocent facade.
In any case, they grew familiar, opened up their hearts, and were gradually drawn to each other.
Later, Xu Musen realized that the "poor girl" he had tricked with fifty yuan was actually rich.
Despite that, she never complained about the hardships of work, nor did she show any disdain for Xu Musen's family's plight.
With her, Xu Musen always felt comfortable, healed, and free.
During that summer, the seeds of affection had already begun to sprout.
In college, they continued to be together every day, despite the scorching sun, she could have stayed in air-conditioned rooms to rest.
But she still pushed her wheelchair through the long campus and across the hot playground, just to bring him brewed iced tea.
When Xu Musen fainted during military training, An Nuannuan ignored the pain in her legs, clinging to the stair railing, climbed to the fifth floor just to check on his well-being.
Later on, when Xu Musen's milk tea shop faced malicious slander, she pushed her wheelchair through the blazing sun, seeking help to resolve the situation for him.
With Xu Musen's career struggles and emotional ups and downs, she was always there, shopping together, eating together, meeting the parents, and even Xu Musen shamelessly tricked the innocent girl into massaging his feet...
In matters of love, Xu Musen couldn't pinpoint the exact moment he realized he truly liked her.
All these moments were telling him he had long fallen for this adorable, simple girl.
Xu Musen's thoughts gradually returned and refocused on the present.
An Nuannuan smiled serenely, "Let me tell you when I started liking you then.
Maybe it was from the moment you gave me that cake and encouragement years ago.
Or maybe when you feared I'd be lonely at school and joined me for lunch in the school garden, sneakily saving me an extra chicken drumstick.
Or that day when my wheelchair was broken, and you carried me step by step back home.
Or maybe it was your relentless ambition to succeed through your own efforts.
Also, despite your emotions, you never refused my requests and always greeted me with a gentle smile.
Or perhaps it was the first thing you did after opening your milk tea shop was to ask me to get our marriage certificate, making me the legitimate owner.
You patiently waited, accompanied, and pampered me. Even though we weren't together officially, I already had rights far beyond a mere "friend..."
All these moments contributed to my decision to love you.
An Nuannuan stroked his cheek, her eyes bright and profound, "I know what you want to ask, but for both of us, it doesn't matter. What's important is that no matter the time or moment, I will always fall for you again.
I can't pinpoint the exact moment I fell for you, but I can't find a moment where I don't love you.
Even if we start over, even if we wait again, I will still love you, and I believe you, as long as it's you, will make me fall in love.
I'm confident that if it's me, I will make you fall in love."
An Nuannuan's words were soft yet firm, each phrase struck deeply in Xu Musen's heart.
Indeed, perhaps the events of their past life were merely the catalyst for their meeting.
But all their mutual understanding and love stemmed from starting afresh in this life.
Xu Musen loved her without knowing An Nuannuan had foolishly waited an entire lifetime for him.
An Nuannuan's love for him was rooted in every moment they shared in this life.
If she chose to, she could have revealed everything, she understood him better than he did himself, and if she said so, Xu Musen's personality would surely take responsibility for her.
But she didn't; she never relied on their past life's identity, and their encounter seemed like serendipity.
