After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

"This song, I'd like to dedicate to the girl I like, Zhou Qiunan I love you!"

On stage, a boy finished singing and suddenly grabbed the microphone to start a heartfelt confession.

There was a wave of uproar from the audience!

Kiss her, kiss her, or someone shouting directly to marry him, marry him.

These college performances are not so strict, and every year there are people who take advantage of the opportunity to confess.

The school leaders would just smile and let it be.

After all, colleges don't forbid dating; they even have policies to encourage it.

The country also encourages having two or three children.

After all, if college students have children and register them locally, it helps retain talent.

At such large evening events hosted by the school, people typically start sitting wherever they want halfway through.

Generally, nearly half of the college students find a partner or someone they are flirting with during military training.

Otherwise, it becomes quite hard to find someone later on.

The lovebirds all begin sitting together, on the seats, the lawn, behind the big trees, in the flower beds, the corridors, the staircases...

Hugging and kissing, young people are truly impulsive in love.

Honestly, Xu Musen kind of understands why Japanese people always like names like "Inoue", "Matsushita", or "Kishibe".

Those are blatantly crime scenes.

Xu Musen and An Nuannuan were sitting in a corner of the backstage audience, originally thinking it would be quiet.

But unexpectedly, right after the boy on stage confessed his love, he brought the girl he had just confessed to over their way.

Xu Musen and An Nuannuan were seated on the upper level, and seeing that there was no one around, they immediately couldn't resist hugging each other.

As performances went on upon the stage, they hugged and started kissing each other.

The boy's hands started off conservative, but then slowly triggered his automatic path-finding system.

Xu Musen was seated in a relatively high spot, and there was a corner that concealed them; the couple didn't see them.

Xu Musen felt somewhat embarrassed – wasn't this corrupting the youth?

And was that how a girl's shoulder strap was supposed to come off? So unprofessional!

Muttering complaints to himself, Xu Musen suddenly remembered that An Nuannuan was by his side. He turned his head and saw An Nuannuan intently watching the young couple.

Her delicate little mouth moved slightly as if she was learning something.

Xu Musen reached out to cover her eyes.

"What's wrong?" An Nuannuan whispered to him.

"Kids shouldn't watch; it's easy to be led astray."

"Oh, it's just kissing, right?"

"You know about that?"

Xu Musen always thought of her as a sheltered young lady who was naive to worldly affairs.

"I've seen it before."

An Nuannuan recalled the manga she had been reading these days, where the male and female leads really liked to kiss as soon as they met.

There were even other things.

She also noticed that boys seemed to get restless with their hands once they start kissing.

She subconsciously looked down at herself and then at Xu Musen's hands...

A blush momentarily colored her fair cheeks.

Boys are so strange, she thought. She was weaned off at two years old, yet boys her age still couldn't kick the habit...

She didn't see the appeal; it was usually just tiring on the shoulders, and it would get sweaty in the summer, among other things.

"Xu Musen."

"Hm?"

"Is it... does dating always have to be like this?"

An Nuannuan looked at the couple hugging below the stairs, then raised her head to gaze at Xu Musen.

The boy had only just confessed to the girl.

Facing her inquisitive eyes, Xu Musen cleared his throat.

"Well, actually, it's quite normal. When boys and girls are together, they will have youthful urges. It's also a way to express love and want to get closer to each other."

"Oh."

An Nuannuan nodded her head.

Wanting to get closer...

"So is it not possible to just continue being friends?"

"But there are some things that can't be done as friends; they are exclusive to couples or spouses. Of course, you also have to take on the corresponding responsibilities, which is not as relaxed as being friends."

After Xu Musen spoke, An Nuannuan pondered for a while before once again asking, "Xu Musen, which do you think is better then, being friends or being a couple?"

An Nuannuan lifted her bright eyes, staring unblinkingly at Xu Musen.

Xu Musen also thought about it quite a bit.

Which is better, being friends or being a couple?

Each has its advantages, as well as unexpected limitations.

He looked at An Nuannuan, always feeling that this young girl had been particularly interested in considering such matters lately.

Could it be that she was indeed going through the teenage phase and becoming interested in matters concerning the opposite sex?

Honestly, Xu Musen felt very comfortable with An Nuannuan.

She was a young lady whose head seemed to be in the clouds usually, yet her thinking was uniquely clever. The greatest feeling Xu Musen got from her was that he could be entirely himself without any pretense or fabrication.

It was relaxed, pure.

After being manipulated too much in his past life, meeting such an easily hoodwinked girl in this life, Xu Musen had the illusion of a slave singing in triumph after turning the tables.

But as for dating, Xu Musen honestly hadn't made up his mind.

Actually, both he and Yao Mingyue didn't truly understand love when they had simply married and lived together.

An Nuannuan was probably even more so. This young girl, who had been well protected since childhood, was most likely a blank slate when it came to love.

If he hoodwinked her into becoming a couple just for those primal urges and possessiveness, Xu Musen felt it would make him no different from a lunatic.
