After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Yao Mingyue felt a sense of suffocation and stabbing pain in her chest, her voice trembling.

"The promise we made to grow up together.

So sincere.

The past that we could never finish talking about..."

She would always remember, that night in the hospital, the words he had held her and said.

"I will always be with you, forever..."

She never expected that this "forever" would merely be a little over a decade.

Yao Mingyue blamed no one because she also knew that Xu Musen truly owed her nothing.

The promise of the past, he had fulfilled it, it was just that she had been too greedy.

She had also wondered, what exactly did she like about him?

Many keywords flashed through Yao Mingyue's mind momentarily.

But when it came to saying them out loud, it seemed she had realized, those were all just habits and dependencies.

Yao Mingyue had made Xu Musen her dependency, the last straw to save her life, the only person she wanted to choose for her entire life, the one who would never leave her...

She liked the sense of security Xu Musen gave her, liked his gentleness, liked how he would get jealous for her, liked that he was always there when she needed him most.

However, these likings and habits could also fit perfectly with their childhood friends' identity.

Xu Musen had given her plenty of security.

But what about herself? It seemed she had never given a reason for liking him.

A reason not of childhood friends, not of years-long neighbors, not of so-called brotherly and sisterly love, but a reason that was only about "Xu Musen" and "Yao Mingyue" wanting to be together.

Let's start over.

Yao Mingyue's fingers gently touched the piano keys, softly playing the final notes.

"And now I can't quite discern

Whether it's friendship, or a love that I missed..."

At this moment, Yao Mingyue's voice was like a dandelion puff that had finally let go of its last seed.

Whether it was friendship or love, for Yao Mingyue, they were all memories of her and Xu Musen from the last twenty years.

Belonging to no one else, unstealable, and impossible for anyone to replicate...

The audience was silent, erupting into applause with the last few notes being played.

Who hasn't had an unrequited love in their youth? Just like this song, it turns into a sky-full of dandelions drifting down...

Yao Mingyue's gaze swept over the sea of people in the audience stand, realizing that some emotions, even left unspoken, can bridge the distance between hearts.

At this moment, she seemed to finally understand what true security meant.

Even though they were not together, even though others knew nothing of their past, everyone was still applauding and cheering for their promise.

It was even more fervent and genuine than the confessions that had come before.

Perhaps, this was the real sense of security.

Identity and sincerity.

Yao Mingyue finally understood some things.

At this moment, below the stage, Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong both had a pang in their eyes.

"Xu Musen, the bastard, how could he be so lucky to have had such a childhood sweetheart by his side and not cherish her..."

Even Lin Daiyu could not control the tears at the corner of her eyes, wiping her cheeks.

Wanting to say something, in the end, she just sighed.

There are seldom winners in love, it's mostly just people licking their wounds and redeeming each other...

Zhao Lianmai silently watched Yao Mingyue on stage, sparkling brightly, and in the end, just shook her head slightly.

At this moment, both Xu Musen and An Nuannuan were silent.

Xu Musen's heart was far from as calm as his exterior; nearly twenty years of childhood friendship was not something he could just forget.

This song was suited for the two of them.

Friendship or love...

Who can truly tell them apart, or rather, is it really necessary to make such a clear distinction?

An Nuannuan pursed her lips, her peach blossom eyes carrying a complexity not usually seen.

She wanted to reach out and grasp Xu Musen's hand, but she shrank back timidly, afraid of disturbing his mood at the moment.

He Qiang's gaze shifted between Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue, and the careful An Nuannuan.

As an outsider, he felt very conflicted at this moment, always sensing that his buddy's love life would never be calm again.

Ah, what's the point of falling in love?

It's better than fishing, catching as many as you want.

Yao Mingyue picked up the microphone from the piano and walked slowly to the center of the stage.

Her eyes roamed the crowd as she lifted the microphone, her beautiful cheeks and tear-filled eyes shimmering under the spotlight.

With a smile, she stood under the spotlight, "This song is for the boy who means the most to me in the world right now."

As soon as she spoke, the whole room erupted, with boys wailing all over.

"It's over, it's really a confession, damn it!"

"My goddess, woo... who the hell just snatched her away?"

"Goddess! Do you really have a boyfriend now?"

"I'm saying... she can't really be here to confess, can she?"

Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong swallowed hard. Besides feeling envious, they also sensed that if she mentioned Xu Musen's name today,

he would probably become an overnight sensation all over the university's forums.

The phrase "most important" carried too much feeling.

Isn't it more powerful than any 'I love you'?

At this moment, Xu Musen also shifted slightly, watching Yao Mingyue, this fragile girl who could do anything surprising.

But still.

Faced with the teasing from the audience, Yao Mingyue smiled and shook her head, "Not a boyfriend, now... Let's say I'm pursuing him."

Yao Mingyue's openhearted confession shocked the boys below even more.

How can such an outstanding girl still have someone beyond her reach?

Comparing oneself with others really kills the joy!

Lin Daiyu, who had always been envious of her, was actually feeling a bit of admiration at this moment.

At least she had the courage to express her feelings in front of so many people, dropping all her reserve.

She didn't have that kind of courage...

An Nuannuan clenched the handles of the wheelchair tightly, feeling as if something precious to her was about to be snatched away again...

Yao Mingyue's gaze moved about the crowd again, she took a slow breath, smiling.

"However, I cannot say his name," Yao Mingyue sidestepped mentioning the name.

This caught Xu Musen by surprise. If it had been her old self with that fragile state of mind,

she would have blurted it out without a second thought.

But now...

On stage, Yao Mingyue's eyes glowed.

"But still, I want to tell you today, I remember what you once told me.

You hoped that one day I would truly learn the feeling of liking someone else.

I will find that feeling, but I'm petty-minded, I can't learn to like so many people, liking just you is enough for me."

Yao Mingyue searched the crowd with her eyes, seemingly making eye contact with Xu Musen through the space.

The regret and tears still lingered on her beautiful face, but they could not overshadow her striking beauty and innate pride and confidence.

"My childhood sweetheart, thank you for waiting for me for over a decade, for spoiling me for so many years.

In the years to come, it is my turn.

Please wait for me once more, and I will say that phrase to you, 'I love you.'"

After finishing, Yao Mingyue bowed slightly, like a proud swan.

For the first time, she bowed her head in front of everyone.

But the swan bows its head not to admit defeat,

but to prepare for the next flight into the sky.
