After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 798 - 334: The best way to stay by his side is to blend in._2

She clenched her teeth, unable to believe she was so weak that even a child could outdo her?

Zhao Lianmai's quick eyes and hands were about to catch it, but Zhu Yulan interrupted her with her outcry,

"Let me do it!"

At this moment, Zhu Yulan's eyes were intently fixed on the incoming volleyball, representing the decisive ball of the game!

She must win this battle!

She positioned her feet one in front of the other on the sand, hands tracking the volleyball's descending path, ready to strike.

Her almond eyes were wide open!

Just like Night Kai opening the last gate of the Eight Gates Release Formation!

Zhu Yulan felt she had the perfect angle, definitely able to deliver a beautiful counterattack!

Granny Li, knock on the door! Open!

Zhu Yulan leaped from the ground with one foot, but the other foot missed the sand.

"I got it... Ouch!"

Zhu Yulan lost her balance and fell directly onto the ground. Fortunately, the beach sand had been regularly sifted, lacking foreign objects and felt soft, so even a fall wouldn't result in injury.

However, Zhu Yulan had her face completely buried in the sand, and the well-calculated arc was missed, letting the volleyball break through the defense.

Zhao Lianmai: ...

Seeing this pig-headed teammate, she seemed to recall the sincere and passionate shout of a Chinese volleyball fan after a match.

Just when everyone thought the game was about to end,

the volleyball traced a beautiful parabola and perfectly landed on Zhu Yulan's upturned buttocks...

Duang~

"Ow!"

Zhu Yulan cried out in pain.

The ball astonishingly bounced high up again in the wake of the incredible elasticity, under the disbelieving gazes of the crowd, quivering like ocean waves under the sunlight!

Great opportunity!

Zhao Lianmai, watching the ball bounce back up, immediately smacked it away.

Over the net, hit the ground!

"I'm shocked!"

Xu Musen, part of the rubbernecking crowd, suddenly widened his eyes!

Is such a maneuver even possible?

"What the..."

Yao Mingyue squinted at him from the side.

"Enough with you."

Xu Musen, at a loss for words, felt even this little Sickly Cutie was more outrageous than him in making racy jokes.

"Hmph, someone's eyes are practically glued to her butt, hehe... Such a schemer, wearing it so short on purpose."

Even Yao Mingyue had to admit, Zhu Yulan's behind was quite well-shaped, or it wouldn't have offered such good elasticity.

But Yao Mingyue was not to be outdone. If only she could move right now, she'd show them what a true Volleyball Goddess looked like—no, a Goddess with a Volleyball!

Zhu Yulan was rubbing her backside, the force of the volleyball strike was no small matter; how could such a young girl possess so much strength?

Her buttocks felt burning hot.

Still annoyed by her loss, she lifted her head and wiped the sand off her face, only to see the volleyball had landed on the ground on the other side.

Eh?

At this moment, Yao Mingyue reluctantly raised the scorecard for their group.

"Eh??"

Zhu Yulan took a while to react, finally realizing she had actually reclaimed a round.

"Yu Lan, you're really amazing!"

Zhu Yulan thought it was Zhao Lianmai who had such a quick reaction to catch and send the ball back across.

She excitedly hugged her.

Underneath the swim shorts, her pert little buttocks also quivered slightly.

"It's you who's amazing…"

Zhao Lianmai stretched out her hand to keep her distance, watching the young lady jumping for joy.

Anyway, it counted as a round reclaimed.

Back and forth like this, both teams showed their skills, and everyone played the final ball earnestly.

The ball was played back and forth over twenty rounds.

However, in the end, the victory was snatched by An Nannan with a jump spike.

"Yay! Sister, we won! Brother-in-law, I want caramelized bananas tonight!"

An Nannan, overjoyed, embraced her sister and then turned to Xu Musen to claim her victorious prize.

An Nuannuan affectionately stroked her younger sister's head but gave Zhu Yulan and Zhao Lianmai a gentle look.

Actually, Zhu Yulan was still a healthy eighteen-year-old girl, with Zhao Lianmai being a sporty young girl.

If they'd really wanted to win, they would have won long ago.

The last ball was deliberately thrown to make the little girl happy.

Seeing the little girl so joyful, everyone couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Yulan had also been thinking about having Xu Musen make her a bowl of red bean rice.

Although a bit disappointed, seeing the little girl happy made her think that maybe this is how her sister would feel when she saw her joyful.

Isn't this what traveling is all about?

Dinnertime

Zhu Yulan changed her clothes first and went to the dining room, only to find a bowl of red bean rice in front of her seat.

Her eyes instantly brightened with delight. Was this... made especially for her by Xu Musen?

She went to the kitchen and saw Xu Musen still bustling about fervently. She felt somewhat shy and her heart was touched with warmth.

"Hey, um, did you make this red bean rice for me?"

"Isn't it what you wanted to eat?"

Xu Musen looked at her, puzzled.

He had actually taken her words to heart, and even though she hadn't won the volleyball game, he still made red bean rice for her. Does that mean she's actually quite important to him?

But him showing such blatant favoritism, wouldn't it be a bit too bold? What if Nuannuan misunderstood... Oh dear, how embarrassing that would be.

Zhu Yulan's lips could hardly contain her happiness. At that moment, her cheeks were rosy, just like a little girl who had received a confession from a boy she liked.

She held the bowl of red bean rice in her hands.

There's a poem that goes, "The red beans grow in the southern lands, with springtime shoots they are a few branches banded."

"May you pick more, these seeds of love commanded..."

If this were ancient times, such a dish could be considered a token of affection.

Heh heh heh.

Zhu Yulan hugged her red bean rice and giggled foolishly.

Xu Musen watched her, his eyebrows raised. Was this child silly?

Blushing over a bowl of red bean rice as if she'd recalled some PG-13-rated scene.

A self-absorbed girl is the scariest.

Zhu Yulan, holding her red bean rice, returned gigglingly to the dining table, only to suddenly see Zhao Lianmai bringing a dish of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon from the kitchen as well.

"Eh..."

Zhu Yulan was startled for a moment.

Zhao Lianmai also looked at the red bean rice in her hands, pondered for a brief moment, shook her head and smirked, "Don't even think about it, he made everyone's favorite."

For everyone... he made...

Zhu Yulan's face, which had been secretly delighted just a moment ago, froze instantly. Only then did she notice that at each person's place, the food they wanted to eat was neatly prepared.

So he made something for everyone...

Zhu Yulan looked down at the sweet red bean rice in her hands, which suddenly didn't seem as appealing anymore.

What was this about? She'd been happily imagining herself as someone special all by herself.

Little did she know, his attention was equally distributed amongst everyone.

"Air-conditioning man..."

In the end, Zhu Yulan could only mumble these three words.

Zhao Lianmai put her scrambled eggs with Chinese toon down. Compared to a table full of lobsters and abalone, this was definitely very simple and unadorned.

But for Zhao Lianmai, this dish used to be the best meal her family could afford.

Eggs laid by their own chickens, and toon buds picked from their own trees.

She calmly took a bite first.

She smiled and shook her head, "This is probably a thank-you gift for letting him pamper his Younger Aunt."

Zhu Yulan held her red bean rice with a somewhat melancholic tone, "He seems to really enjoy playing with kids..."

"Yes, but more importantly, she's Nuannuan's sister. In a way, Nannan is like their child."

Zhao Lianmai spoke softly.

Zhu Yulan's eyes dimmed slightly. Indeed, An Nuannuan was like an immovable mountain in his heart.

Now only his childhood sweetheart could compete with her for favor...

Zhao Lianmai looked at her gloomy expression, chewing her food, the unique flavor of the Chinese toon making her feel increasingly at ease.

"In fact, from this incident, we can see one thing."

"What?" Zhu Yulan looked up at her.

"That is, if there are many things we can't choose ourselves, following our boss's wife, we'll always be able to scrape together a meal."

Zhao Lianmai and Zhu Yulan exchanged a glance, the tone calm yet seemingly significant.

It was like a warning not to oppose Nuannuan or harbor wrong thoughts, and also like advice on what to do...

Either withdraw early or blend in, but if anyone tries to take her place, it's simply impossible.

Zhu Yulan silently stared at the red bean rice in her hands, deep in thought...
