After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

But this little Qing Mei always quietly hid behind him.

Yao Mingyue suddenly realized that she and An Nuannuan actually had quite a lot in common.

One was bold,

The other shy.

One was scheming,

The other naïve.

What she lacked was exactly what An Nuannuan possessed.

Looking at it now,

The bold one, yet for over a decade had not dared to confirm their relationship with him.

The timid Nuannuan, however, in less than a year, took the initiative and confessed to Xu Musen.

Though she prided herself on being cunning, she could never keep things hidden; whenever Xu Musen was slightly unkind, she'd be hopping mad, like a mindless little monkey.

As for Nuannuan, always appearing so naive and silly, but her heart held so much, always managing to give Musen what he needed most when he needed it.

Yao Mingyue suddenly felt that perhaps she was the one who was shy and naïve.

She looked at An Nuannuan and Xu Musen, feeling a sourness in her heart and also a sense of reluctance...

"In the future, don't bully him..."

Yao Mingyue said this suddenly, looking at An Nuannuan.

If An Nuannuan knew all this, yet still made everyone think she was simple-minded,

Then it meant that in truth, An Nuannuan was actually the most "cunning" of all.

Anyway, she had already "bamboozled" Xu Musen pretty well.

Fearing that in the future Nuannuan would eat him out of house and home while the foolish Musen still happily sprinkled cumin over his own head.

An Nuannuan looked at her and nodded gently, "I will."

"Besides you, no one else has bullied me," An Nuannuan said.

Xu Musen, having heard this phrase, also chimed in, urging her to stay focused and by all means not to pass out.

Yao Mingyue looked at him, feeling colder and colder, but only when Xu Musen held her did she feel a bit warmer, yet this warmth made her even more troubled, "Yes... if I'm also gone... no one would be able to bully you ever again..."

"Stop talking nonsense, you'll be okay, I've gotten used to being bullied by you, without anyone to bully me, I'd feel uncomfortable," Xu Musen replied while holding her tight, clearly feeling the girl's body temperature ebbing away.

The experience of watching one's own life slip away was something he could empathize with.

Yao Mingyue, looking into his distressed eyes, coughed painfully but still managed a smile.

"Before... didn't you say... whoever listened to anyone else... would be a dog?" she teased.

Xu Musen gently touched her pale cheek, smiling gently in response, "Anyway, I've been a loyal follower for so many years, a few more times doesn't really matter."

Yao Mingyue was in pain all over, but at this moment, she felt a warmth rising in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, they had been childhood friends, each wagging their tails happily at the other, hadn't they?

But as she smiled, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.

"Hold on a little longer, the ambulance is almost here, don't sleep!"

Xu Musen, with eyes red with anxiety, could see that Yao Mingyue's complexion was truly frightful.

Pallid, her pupils slightly dilated.

"Musen... if, if I really am gone... remember to go to... Mount Lao... to our Praying Plate, if it's still there, it has what I wanted to tell you..."

Yao Mingyue couldn't keep her expression steady anymore; her vision blurred, as if she was falling into a dark abyss.

"Brother Musen... I'm so cold..."

Her weak murmur, like déjà vu from that rainy night, she had been this desperate, and he had held her like this.

Then, it was like a beam of light piercing through the darkness.

But this time, she felt herself increasingly unable to feel that warmth...

The siren of the ambulance was already sounding.

Xu Musen held her tight: "You won't have any issues, the ambulance has arrived, just hold on a little longer!"

So, this was what coming close to death felt like.

Yao Mingyue didn't feel very sad, only somewhat regretful.

How heartbroken her mother would be if she knew...

Yao Mingyue's mind was increasingly muddled, even recalling the previous life, when Xu Musen had collapsed in her arms, despite how loudly she cried out, his consciousness faded bit by bit...

The doctors arrived, carrying the stretcher down, and Xu Musen, together with two nurses, gently placed Yao Mingyue on the stretcher.

"Mingyue, it's okay now, we're heading to the hospital, don't sleep, you will be fine soon!"

Xu Musen watched as Yao Mingyue nearly lost consciousness, gripping her cold hand tightly.

Summing up her last bit of consciousness, Yao Mingyue looked at Xu Musen's gradually blurring face, yet she managed to move her lips, revealing a blood-streaked smile: "Musen, if there's another chance... will you come... and live off me again?"

Xu Musen's body shook, seeing Yao Mingyue at this moment, a familiar phrase echoed in his mind.

Xu Musen's pupils shook, a notion that seemed impossible, now felt increasingly real!

But Yao Mingyue had already slowly closed her eyes, no longer having the strength to speak.

The hand being held by Xu Musen was also now weakly hanging down.

"Make way for the family, bring the oxygen over here!"

The doctor, seeing this, quickly instructed the nurses to put the oxygen tube on Yao Mingyue.

Xu Musen sat aside, staring at Yao Mingyue, lying on the stretcher, bloodless and with her faint breathing nearly gone.

His mind was a mess, and at this moment somewhat stunned, feeling completely helpless in the face of his most important person's life or death...
