After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 533 - 242 Punishing Xiao Sickly Cutie~_2
Yao Mingyue acted as if she had caught Xu Musen in the act, with her equally mischievous self wrapped in the blanket, her delicate white feet still rubbing against Xu Musen under the blanket.
At that moment, Mother Xu went to the living room’s water dispenser to refill the teapot with some hot water, and Yao Mingyue quietly placed her foot under the blanket on Xu Musen’s hand again.
Xu Musen glared at her.
Yao Mingyue showed an expression that said, "What can you do about it?" looking very smug.
Xu Musen didn’t consider himself a pervert, but it was really hard for him to resist not giving this little devilish girl a good lesson!
Under the blanket, he directly grabbed her foot, the scorching heat of his palm made Yao Mingyue let out a yelp unconsciously.
"What’s wrong, Ming Yue?"
Mother Xu turned her head and asked.
"No, nothing, I just ate too much and burped."
Yao Mingyue’s face turned a bit red, she hadn’t expected Xu Musen, the "pushover", to be so bold.
In contrast, Xu Musen looked composed at that moment.
When it came to foot massages, Xu Musen was very skilled, having practiced in his past life while massaging Yao Mingyue.
Furthermore, he had practiced plenty on An Nuannuan in this life.
In fact, Yao Mingyue’s feet in his hands did not require him to look; he was familiar with every inch and every sensitive spot, even more than Yao Mingyue knew her own little feet.
When Xu Musen lightly pressed on a spot on the sole of her foot, Yao Mingyue immediately felt a particularly ticklish sensation and yelped again.
"Ming Yue, are you alright?"
Mother Xu came over, somewhat concerned.
Now Yao Mingyue was starting to panic a bit, "Auntie, I’m fine, I just choked a little; I’ll be fine with a sip of water."
"Oh alright, good, I’ll get you a cup of water."
Mother Xu handed her a cup of warm water as well.
"Thank you, Auntie..."
Yao Mingyue took the water but didn’t dare to move the lower half of her body, while Xu Musen remained calm, watching TV.
"You naughty boy, why don’t you take better care of Ming Yue?"
Mother Xu also scolded Xu Musen a bit.
Xu Musen smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Mom, next time I’ll take good care of her."
Xu Musen spoke and squeezed a few familiar pressure points on the sole of her foot.
Yao Mingyue, enduring the sensation, blushed and bowed her head, daring not to look up.
"Alright, you two enjoy watching TV now."
Mother Xu didn’t notice anything amiss and turned back to continue discussing skincare tips with Liu Rushuang.

As soon as Mother Xu left, Xu Musen felt Yao Mingyue’s foot become somewhat limp in his hand, indicating she was somewhat surrendering to him.
If this massage continued, she was likely to explode in frustration.
After all, this Xiao Sickly Cutie, the future female CEO, always liked to maintain an air of superiority over him.
"Hmph, now you know the consequences of your mischief, I’ll let you off this time. See if you dare again..."
Xu Musen didn’t finish his sentence when he noticed Yao Mingyue leaning softly against his shoulder, her face flushed.
Her pair of phoenix eyes held a bewitching charm: "I still dare, why don’t you keep bullying me, please?"
Xu Musen’s massage was indeed very comforting, every touch landed on her favorite spots, as if he had practiced countless times, almost addictive to her.
But to Xu Musen, her look made his legs go weak. In his last life, that look from her would have meant big trouble for him.
Xu Musen quickly stood up.
"What’s wrong now?"
Mother Xu, hearing the noise, turned back to look at her son who looked as if he had seen a ghost and asked unhappily.
"I... choked as well, I’ll have some water."
Xu Musen found an excuse.
But Yao Mingyue handed him her cup, "You drink this, no need to bother Mom and Auntie while they’re chatting."
"Exactly, we can’t even have a conversation, so no need to move around for no reason."
Mother Xu said, and shut the sliding door to the balcony, then turned her head back to continue studying the nail printer.
Liu Rushuang seemed to sense something, her eyes flickered, the phoenix eyes narrowed slightly without any sign, and she smiled quietly.
Xu Musen sat down feeling slightly resigned.
Now, Yao Mingyue was moving closer again.
Xu Musen was just about to put some distance between them when Yao Mingyue gently hugged his arm.
"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. Will you join me to watch TV for a while? It’s only once a year that we have this Spring Festival Gala."
Her complexion still bore the bloom of color, and her head lightly rested on Xu Musen’s shoulder.
She turned so swiftly that Xu Musen was caught a bit off guard.

But looking at Yao Mingyue acting oddly obedient at this moment, Xu Musen found himself at a loss for words as well.
In fact, he had imagined this scene countless times, where the two of them could snuggle up close together to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Today, it had been so unexpectedly realized.
"Xu Musen, when you pinched my foot just now, why were you… so proficient?"
Yao Mingyue suddenly asked, her eyes sparkling with a luster that made it hard to meet her gaze.
Xu Musen, of course, couldn’t say he had pinched it countless times in his past life: "You’re imagining things."
"Imagining things… Does imagining let you press that many times? And did pinching that time give you the feeling of fulfilling a regret?"
Yao Mingyue squinted her eyes and kept pressing for an answer.
Xu Musen didn’t answer her.
Yao Mingyue hummed with a smile, "Whether you admit it or not, you still like me, just as I like you. It’s instinctual; you can’t resist it, nor can you forget it, no matter how many times we start over..."
Yao Mingyue’s last words were spoken so softly that Xu Musen didn’t hear them clearly; he looked down at her.
Yao Mingyue’s phoenix eyes sparkled, and she seemed to have no intention of repeating herself, instead, she made herself comfortable on Xu Musen’s shoulder, ready to sleep.
"Aren’t you going to watch TV anymore?"
"There’s nothing good left to watch. From now on, it’s just song and dance dramas, I’m so bored with the Thousand-Hand Guanyin and Peacock Dance, I’ll just take a nap," Yao Mingyue said offhandedly.
Xu Musen felt a bit helpless; of the Spring Festival Gala, he could only remember some outstanding sketches, but as for song and dance dramas, those were typically when he’d take a bathroom break.
Yao Mingyue leaned on his shoulder, and Xu Musen looked at her. Yao Mingyue was always a bit susceptible to the cold, and she seemed to feel a chill even wrapped in a blanket, especially her hands and feet, which he had felt when he had held them earlier.
She quietly closed her eyes and seemed genuinely about to doze off. The warm family environment at home, the fireworks ascending outside the window, the laughter of Mother Xu and Auntie Liu chatting on the balcony, as well as the warmth from Xu Musen’s body, all lulled Yao Mingyue quickly into dreamland.
One dream after another seemed to emerge in her mind.
Xu Musen felt that she might be dreaming again, some were good, and some were bad. The body temperature drops slightly when one is asleep.
Xu Musen touched her feet, which were a bit cold; he shook her, hoping she’d at least put on some socks, but Yao Mingyue just clung tighter to his arm.
"Musen, I miss you so much; don’t leave me again..."
The girl murmured with a giggle, Xu Musen didn’t catch it clearly, but he could make out some words.
He sighed, neither willing nor able to wake her up.
Ever since she fell into the lake, it always seemed like she had changed a lot, including her confession to Xu Musen at the school.
Indeed, it had filled a void in Xu Musen’s heart that had persisted for a long while.
Such behavior, if it were in his previous life, would have been utterly impossible.
"I really owe you..."
Xu Musen sighed again and quietly warmed her feet with his palms under the blanket.
Yao Mingyue was right, what followed on TV were indeed all song and dance dramas, and there indeed was a Thousand-Hand Guanyin and a Peacock Dance.
Perhaps it was a coincidence.
Xu Musen wasn’t too interested in watching, but at this moment, the atmosphere here was really warm and comfortable.
Dad, having drunk too much, could rest with ease, and if Uncle Yao were still around, the two of them could play a game of chess.
Mom and Auntie Liu were discussing topics that women enjoyed the most.
He and Yao Mingyue snuggled together watching the Spring Festival Gala, listening to the booming fireworks outside. Despite the piercing cold winds, it felt like springtime within the room.
Xu Musen looked at Yao Mingyue’s profile; perhaps it was because of the room’s warm lighting, but it made Yao Mingyue seem even more tender.
If there were two parallel lines in this world, without that accident, perhaps all these enjoyable moments would have been realized.
But now, looking at Yao Mingyue,
He didn’t feel he could really forget her completely.
She was Nuannuan as well.
Xu Musen knew his thoughts were dangerous right now, but in the end, he just shook his head and gave a bitter smile.
Maybe he really wasn’t such a good person after all.
But deep down, Xu Musen felt he might have a better future choice...
