After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

Night.

Yao Mingyue returned to her dormitory.

She was still wearing that white dress, a dress she had prepared for herself.

The fluffy hem looked like a dandelion dancing in the wind.

She came to the dormitory and looked at herself in the mirror.

In fact, she had not expected to muster up such courage today, as the proud her of the past would never have done something so "embarrassing."

But at this moment, her "confession" to Xu Musen in front of the whole school...

Truly made her understand the feelings Xu Musen had when he confessed to her back in high school.

Excitement, nervousness, unease, anticipation— these emotions mixed together, creating an indescribable bittersweet taste.

She had not experienced such complex feelings in a long time.

Before wishing to be loved, one must learn how to love someone else.

Yao Mingyue finally understood this feeling. Although this was a one-sided confession, her empty heart felt a trace of fulfillment.

It turned out that true security wasn't about constantly receiving; sometimes giving your all could bring even more.

The other three girls in the dormitory had also returned, and they saw Yao Mingyue in her spotless white dress.

Like a noble white swan princess.

Her presence that night had already become the focus of the school...actually, of all high schools in Hu Hai.

A girl like Yao Mingyue, already so exceptional that it was difficult to feel jealous, did not give off a sense of "licking the dog" defeat with her bold confession today.

Instead, the spectators in the school were now praising Yao Mingyue for her bold pursuit of love.

At the same time, there was envy, jealousy, and resentment towards that mysterious "childhood sweetheart," with many wishing they could take his place.

As those who knew a bit of the inside story, they felt even more amazed.

They looked at Yao Mingyue, who now seemed like a princess.

An outstanding girl who could express love so boldly, her courage impressed them too.

"Yao, you looked so beautiful today, and your singing was really good," said a girl with short hair, circling her with eyes full of admiration.

Although Yao Mingyue usually seemed aloof, creating a sense of distance, they could still exchange a few words with her in the dormitory on a normal day.

And since Yao Mingyue was really outstanding, people tended to be very tolerant of her.

Yao Mingyue turned around, and her usually cool cheeks now wore a smile, "Thank you."

The three girls exchanged looks, surprised. It was the first time they had seen her thank someone with such a pleasant demeanor.

Could love really change her so much?

"Um, are you really... going to pursue that guy?" the short-haired girl couldn't help but ask, seeing that Yao Mingyue was in a good mood.

Yao Mingyue turned to look at herself in the mirror. After all, from a young age, he always liked her best, didn't he?

"Of course, my man—if I don't pursue him, who will?" Yao Mingyue said with a smile, her tone confident without a doubt.

The girls exchanged glances again, but they also knew that there was now another girl by that man's side.

What if she overtook Yao Mingyue with a shortcut and won him over?

They didn't dare to voice this thought, though, as the topic was too sharp.

But Yao Mingyue seemed to see through their thoughts, standing in front of the mirror, looking at herself.

The face he had always liked from her childhood.

A faint smile appeared on Yao Mingyue's lips.

"We're just having a disagreement, not that we stopped loving each other. As for others, at most, they can temporarily watch over him for me. He is still mine, he was in the past, and he will be in the future."

There wasn't a hint of dejection in Yao Mingyue's voice; in fact, there was more confidence than ever.

The three girls swallowed hard, as at that moment Yao Mingyue seemed like a domineering and wealthy CEO from a romance novel.

It wasn't just about guys anymore—even girls could fall for her.

Who could withstand this...

...

The Artists' Dormitory.

At that moment, An Nuannuan was in the dormitory, supporting herself on a pair of crutches, slowly shuffling her feet back and forth on the balcony.

Fine sweat coated her fair cheeks, yet she persisted in her training.

Since returning from the military training performance that day, An Nuannuan had increased the intensity of her training.

Her roommates watched as she was covered in a thin layer of sweat, her fair face flushing red, her legs shaking continuously.

The process of recovery was painful, with each step being extremely difficult.

"Nuannuan, take a break," said Ge Jiayue, approaching An Nuannuan and suggesting with concern upon seeing her condition.

"I'll just take a few more steps," An Nuannuan shook her head, her large, innocent eyes filled with resolve.

An Nuannuan leaned on her crutches, taking another slow lap on the balcony. When she returned, her legs completely gave out.

She nearly collapsed on the ground, but the girls quickly supported her and sat her down on the bed.

"Nuannuan, you should gradually increase your training intensity. You're wearing yourself out by pushing too hard..." Ge Jiayue said.

But they could guess some of the reasons.

Seeing Yao Mingyue appear today really had an overwhelming effect, not just for Nuannuan and Xu Musen.

Even the bystanders felt the force of this girl and her determination to achieve her goal.

"Nuannuan, are you increasing your training because of... what happened at today's military training performance?"
